A NaHaatl CreedL The Chicago Herald suggests the 1 fol lowing as a Nstional Creed by which the men, women and children of Amer- ica may affirm their Americanism: *T believe In the United Slates, one and indivisible; in her mission as the champion of humanity—as the friend of the weak and distressed, in the single- ‘ ness, dignity and inviolability*^ bT** American citizenship; in the validity of our national traditions; in peace with honor; in friendship with all nations that respect our rights; in entangling alliances with none; in reasonable preparation for national defense by sea and land; in shirking no sacrifice need- j ed to hand down to the future the priceless treasures bequeathed to us ! by the past; in the necessity of Weeping i the western hemisphere free from the intrusions of European institutions and ambitions in the capacity of free men for self-government; in the love of home and country; and in the unflinch ing resolution that government of the people, for the people and by the peo ple shall not perish from the earth.” Daniel Frohman Presents The Powerful Domestic Drama “AFTERMATH” % \ JM-: * n The People was paid quite a compli ment this week, when'a farmer friend who was very anxious to become a subscriber offered to secure a year’s subscription by a paper over his mule.

Our readers will recall that immedi ately preceding the several declarations of war last August^ the European na- tions engaged in a number of "conver sations.” To the average layman, untrained in the ways of diplomacy, the meaning of these "conversations" was hard to understand. Stripped of their "diplomatic usage” the following bit of dialogue, written by Booth Tarkington for the Metropolitan magazine, covers the ease more completely than any thing we have yet seen in print J "Austria (to Servia): You scoun drel, get down on your knees and eat ten mouthfuls of dirt! Do it in one minute, or I’ll shoot! "Russia (to Austria): I’ll shoot if you do; (to Servia): Eat all the dirt you poesibly can; do your best to keep him from shooting. I don’t want to have to shoot. "England, France and Italy (to Aus tria): Please wait a minute; (to Ger many): Austria is your brother; he does It is now said that sun spots caused the war, and Jiere we’d been under the impression all the time that Germany was fighting for her "place (not spot) in the sun.” The charges and counter-charges of the belligerent nations remind us of the mud-slinging during a heated po litical campaign in South Carolina.

Battle to Bam wall mmd Hama T Draw. Blackville, June 19.—Friday after noon on the local diamond, Blackville and Barnwell fought to a tie, 5 to 6, the game being called at the end of the eleventh on account of darkness Blsckvilie took the lead in the second inning, scoring 2 runs. Neither side exactly what you tell him to do. Ask scored until the fifth, when Barnwell i • him to wait a minute longer before he shoots. We can arrange this to satisfy Austria if you'll get him not to shoot. "Germany: No. "Servia (on his knees and swallow ing) : There! I’ve eaten nine mouth fuls, and I will eat the tenth if you’ll give me just t few seconds for diges tion. “Austria: No, your minute is,up and I shoot. , "England and France (imploring Germany): Plense stop him! You are the only one who can. Won’t you say a word to stop him? "Germany: No. "Russia (beginning to load his old- fashioned shotgun c 1 hope you’ll stop him. See here, Austria, can’t we talk things over and see if there isn’t a bet ter way out? "Austria: Perhaps we could if “Germany (interrupting)^ Russia, quit loading that gun! "Russia: I can’t while things are in this shape, but I’ll quit loading at once if Austria will promise not to shoot Ser via— "Germany (interrupting): I love peace and I have done more than mortal may to preserve it. The sword is forced into my hands, evidently by God, and I defend myself. (Draws two well-oiled and loaded pump-guns of a magnificent new model and begins to shoot, while France and England run f home to get their guns.)"
