The whole civilized worid with the
exception of Germany and her allies,
was shocked beyond expression by the
sinking of the Luistsnia by a German
submarine off the coast of Ireland Fri
day. One thousand one hundred and
ninety-eight persons including men,
women and children, many of whom
were Americans, lost their lives. Ger
many according to her own modest
estimation, the most highly cultured
nation in the worid, celebrated the
wholesome murder “as s new triumph
for Germany's naval policy."
The United States is confronted by
the gravest situation of the war and at
this writing (Monday) it is an open
question as to whether or not we will
be drawn into the European conflict.
When Germany announced her sub
marine blockade of the British coast.
President Wilson gave the Germans
notice that this country would hold
them to a “strict accountability" for
any loaa of American lives or ships.
On the day the Lusitania sailed from
New York, the German government
had advertisements published in the
newspapers, warning neutrals
against embarking on the ill-fated
vessel. The Lusitania is also said to
have been heavily loaded with muni
tions of war for the Allies and the
Germans claim that she was armed
with guns. That, briefly, is the Go-man
side of the tragedy.
It is however, unheard of in the
annals of civilized warfare for an
enemy to fire WITHOUT WARNING
on a ship carrying helpless, innocent
non-combatants. From a humanitarian
standpoint, the most charitable view
that can be taken is that it was murder
—wholesale murder. It is .inconceiv
able that such a tragedy could be
celebrated by a sane, Chistian people.
To absolve Germany would, as the
News and Courier points out, put the
entire blame on President Wilson. This
government has never warned its
citizens against taking passage on bel
ligerent ships. On the other hand, they
were permitted to believe ‘‘that th$y
were exercising a right which was
theirs under the law and in the exer
cise of which their Government would
uphold them. If the United States
Government in flat contradiction of
its note to Germany regarding the
rights of Americans on the seas,
bow adopts the view that the
killing of the Americans on the Lusif
tania was the result of a legitimate
, hazard of war and was a legally justifi-
v#* able act on Germany’s part, then-the
United States Government is itself
arimiifally responsible for the killing of
these Americans because it failed to
warn them that they were putting
themselves beyood the pale of Ameri-
MB protection and because it not only
them to behave, but by its
M them to believe, that
In a number of the large cities in the
past few years there, has been much
agitation of the question of segregating
the races. Laws have been passed
forbidding negroes from owning prop
erty in certain sections of cities, and
if our memory serves us right an act
bearingionJbis matter was passed at
the recent session of our own legisla
ture.
It has long been a practice, not only
in Barnwell but in other towns in the
State, for white people to have one or
more tenant houses in their back yards
or lots which they rented to negroes.
Many of these houses are oid, dilapi
dated affairs and as the negro race is
not noted for its cleanliness, the result
* is a veritable breeding place for dis
eases of almost every discription, not
the least among which is the awful
scourge of tuberculosis, thus becoming
a menance to the public health.
Nearly all of the victims of the pres
ent epidemic of small pox are negroes
and several of the patients are resi
dents of the main part of town, endan
gering the health of our people to a
larger extent than if they were segra-
gated. Whuld it not be a wise plan
for the city fathers to pass sn ordin-
snee limiting their residence to cer
tain areas on the outskirts of the city
and making it an offense punishable
by fine or imprisonment for iandown
ers to rent them houses within the
“white” trea? We throw out the
above suggestions for the reason that we
believe that the health of the commu
nity as a whole should be placed above
the few paltry dollars that individuals
may receive for rent.

When sn individual commits a wan
ten, cruel murder he is forced to an
swer for his crime before the bar of
justice. Upon conviction he loses his
citizenship and has no further voice in
the affairs of government.
Germany, with a cruelty that would
bring a biuah of shame to the cheek of
“Mr. Hyde,” has become many times
a murderer by her one mad act and
t should henceforth be outlawed from
the council of nations. As the New
York Worid phrases it, “Civilization
might better perist than survive on
the terms that Germany offers to man
kind.”
In 1898 the battle cry of the Ameri
can soldiers was "Remember the
Maine!” It is highly probable that
‘‘Remember the Lusitania!” will now
resound in the Allied trenches in
Europe.
If this be “Kulter,” God saye us from
barbarism!
Germany, the pariah of the world.

Ton Need a Tonic
There are times in every woman’s life when she
needs a tonic to help her over the hard places.
When that time comes to you, you know what tonic
to take—Cardui, the woman’s tonic. Cardui is com
posed of purely vegetable ingredients, which act
gently, yet surely, on the weakened womanly organs,
and helps build them back to strength and health.
It has benefited thousands and thousands of weak,
ailing women in its past half century of wonderful
success, and it will do the same for you. - •
/You can’t make a mistake in taking .
Cardui
The Woman's Tonic
Miss Amelia Wilson, R, F. D. No. 4, Alina, Ark.,
says: T think Cardui is the greatest! medicine on earth,
for women. Before I began to take Cardui, 1 was
so weak and nervous, and had such awful dizzy
spells and a poor appetite. Now I feel as well and
as strong as I ever did, and can eat most anything.’’
Begin taking Cardui today. Sold by all dealers.
