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.”

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.
Needless to say the paper will make
weekly visits to his home for the com
ing year.
How tha War Started.
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.

TIE AT BLACKVILLE.
Battle to

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

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,

"Russia: I can’t while things are in
this shape, but I’ll quit loading at once

"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.)"
The writer had the pleasure of travel
ing over the model road in Aiken
County recently and we are free to
to say that we don’t believe there is a
finer stretch of sand-clay road in the
State. Our hat ia off to Messrs. Dyches

You 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,
s ailing women ia 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, Alma, Ark.,
says: “I think Cardui is the greatest medicine on earth,
for women. Before 1 began to take Cardui, I 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.
