During the next few months, when tbe most pressing of the farm work is past, Is the time for otir people to prepare against a shortage of fuel next winter. We will have only ourselves - to blame if we are again caught in the condition iu which last winter found us. A fuel shortage in the United States ia an absurdity. It is utterly inexcus able. This is a country of natural for ests, and a large part of those forests are cusily accessible for fuel. Thou sands- of towns have ample suppliea of the Very best firpWood within easy reach, and if these communities next winter' e? suffer from a scarcity of fuel it will be of their own shiftlcBsncss. One thing is certain, our xailroads are now taxed to the utmost of their currying capacity, and this 'condition will be intensified later iu tbe seasou when t ho C^ops begin to move. The fuel ad ministration baa issued fair warning, frankly telling the people that the roads may not be able to handle their coal orders later In tiie season. Every towg. and community in the country that is dependent upon an out side source for its supply of fuel, should at once organize n wood club and lay I in a full supply of this fuel. This will serve two ends ? it will remove all dan ger of a fuel famine oud it will con serve railway power that is now, and will Continue to be, urgently needed in the demands of the government. Tliis is no false alarm. It is a mat ter of vital concern to all, and we will be recreant to our duty to ourselves and to our government if we rieglect it.

Bx-Gov. Blease may declare his loyalty with all the vehemence at his command and offer to "lead" regiments and regiments to France, yet when he attempts to stir up. enmity between privates and officers he is undermining the striking power of tie army and is doing just that much to prolong the war. But leaving aside the question' of loyalty, a man who would intention ally wound the feelings 6t a father whose five rouh are offering themselves up as a sacrifice for their country's cause, is not a fit representative of the proud and patriotic people of South Carolina In the United Htfltes Senate.? -Lauren* Advertiser. -C ? ,.,.4/. -la -- 1 DEATH OF FOKMRR CZAR Was In State of Collapse When Execu tion Was Carried Out. Amsterdam, July .11.? Given two hours in which to prepare for his end, Nicholas Romanoff, former Russian Emperor, whs taken out by bis executioners in a state of such collapse that it was necessary to prop him against a post, says the Lokal Anzeiger. of Berlin, which claims to have received from a high Russian per sonage an account of the Emperor's last -hoursi? ? ? ; 1 ?????" ? ~ Nicholas was awakened at 5 o'clock on the morning of the day of his exc cution by a patrol of a non-commissioned Officer and six men. He was told to dress and was taken to n room where the decision of the Soviet tauftcil was communicated Jto liim. He was inform ed the execution . would be carried out. in two hours. * - The former emperor, it is added, re ceived the announcement of the sentence Of death with great calmness. He re turned to his bed room and collapsed in n chair. After a few minutes he asked for ft priest, with whom lie wns allowed-. to remain unattended. Subsequently he wrote several letters. When the escort arrived to take him to the place^of execution Nicholas at tempted to rise from his chair, but was not able. The priest and a soldier were obliged to help him get to bis feet. The condemned man descended- the stairs with difficulty and once he fell down. As he was unable to stand without f support when the place of execution was reached he was propped ogamst a post. He raised bis hand end seemed to be trying to speak, but the rifles spoke and be fell dead. Itoy DJed ,t?nder Peculiar Circumstances. Louis Mack, a negro 17 years old, died yesterday morning at 8:80 o'clock, ami the coroner was requested to con duct an inventijriition.

Wednesday's Co lumbia State, r -i* V \ i IP 1 ? ? ? "Out of His Own Mouth" 1 1 tai in (Tobo^Ji Hecord* of iui> l6, 1918.) (Hi Jiiim* 20th, 1918, at York, when lw itt that fatnoiiH "mitti rmatton" of bin loyalty, Cole ??. fMegsO (wo quote the ChftrleMton American) Haiti: ; "I have^said that at tb? time the vot?\va? taken on the war, **ltb the lights before ine, I would have voted against it, and there Ih no uw jo be harping on that, because I admit it." II- ?aid, alao.that be bad stated bis opposition in several upeecbee and tbat | "he had no ajiolofy to make for any ^ ?l>e^'h he bad ever made." The lights* before him, before m, an<V before the world when the war tSate wa? taken were the aame lights we hsve before us now. Nothing has changed ao far an the merit* of the case are con cerned. If Ainerlew waa right on April ! 6th, 1917, ItJa rigMt tod**- ** It waa wrong on April Hth, 1917, it la Wrong today. <\>le li, Blease made his speeches at Pomaria and Filbert four month* after we went into the war. With the light* before him then, he affirmed, us "re ligiously" aa he believed that there In a God in heaven that every American killed in the war off of American koil wouty' be "an unwarranted sacrifice of fresh young American manhood," and that on the final judgment day God would charge, their lives against Wood row Wilson and the member* of con gress who voted for the war. ; .? ? At York, ou June 20th, 1918, endeavor ing to tone down a part 6f bis Filbert speech as originally printed in the York ville. Enquirer, he said: ? ~ "J; at Filbert, was repeating my Po Ki'arla speech In which I had * said that I believed that President Wilson an<l the members of congress who VoteA for tbia war would be held responsible far every American life lost in it, and if my aou.V is to bq lost 1 did not care What sort of an America they had after I was dead and gone, and neither does your boy." It was on this occasion, at York, on June 20th, 1918, bear in mind, that Cole L. Blease said that he had no apologies to make for any speech he had ever djade. And on this .occasion he did not b?*it#f to reiterate the senthhents quot ed above from the .Charleston American. He did not Withdraw them; he did not qualify them; he did not repudiate them. He repeated them, with a trivial amend ment, and said he had no apology to make for them. Sueh were his sentiments at York u month ago. Since then tbia man his been speak ing at his own meetings, tearing pas sions to tatters, outdoing Termagant, outheroding Herod, in ? the wordiness of his patriotism. According to. his esti* mntion at this time there is no. more ardent patriot on American soil. Ah they. nay in' the advertisement-^ ."There is a reason." At Pom aria, in July, 1917, Blease said : , "I am not a candidate for any office.'* At Filbert, in August, 1917,. he mi id : ?'"I want to jpa)&Jt. clear - that 1 am not here as a^ candidate or as a spokes* man for the Reform party, but as Cole*: man Livingston Blease. a free-born Axner* lean .citizen." . < X J^e wanted it understood on those oo.< cations t,o give emphasis to his de* nunciations of the wa^S ?* those in high tdaees. that he had liOxfli^ tef, grind; that he was. sincere; that he^ was not trying to get votes ; that he was, as he .said "speaking the truth as I roc. it ? speaking for ray fellow man ,nnd for, what I believe to be the. Will of lie Is seeking office npw, and he in ? patriot. He Is a candidate for the "United States senate now, and he would hiss the hand of Woodrow Wilson. In 11)17 lie Hfiiid he would stump South Carolina in a campaign, with a running; mate against Senators Tillman 'and Smith, on the issues of the war, and now he wants to stump the United States to advocate a third term for ! Woodrow Wilson. Here in a part of the record, culled from his speeches as published in thef Charleston American and the Yorkville Enquirer: ? ? ' Extracts from the recent speeches oj^ a candidate for the United States sen ate : At Wagner, July 12th, and at Man ning. Jul j 10th, 1018: "And I want to say* this: That when I am elected to the Uotted States sen-; ate. I am going to President Wilson and tell him that here is an American Henator, and whatever lm> necessary to: win thin war, I am with him to the! finish.!^ "If it he nercmary in order to win the war, to bretfk the precedent set by President Washington in reference to a third term, I shall tell President W1K sot that I will support him for a third term, and make speeches for him in any part of the American continent to which h? may wiih me to so." < "I jo yet still further, and will say to- him, that I will raise s regiment no**; or. at any time in the future, if h? deem H nafawtry,, of as tine South ,C*tolinla*s as ever wfnton.s field of 'battle, and resfgn my seat in the s?p-! its and tasd t4jat regiment for thsl fight for the American^ people."
