THURSDAY, FEBRUARY Sth, 1917 The announcement by Germany last week of the resumption of unrestrict ed submarine warfare was like the pro verbial thunderbolt from a clear sky and hardly less surprising was Pres ident Wilson's pfompt action in sever-* ing diplomatic relations with a wart mad nation. There is no one who real izes more clearly than the President the grave consequences that may at tend such an act, but the patience of the United States had been exhaus ted and the dignity and honor of the nation demanded the step that wafe taken. * The American people have no quar rel with the German people, and if war follows the severance of diplomatic relations it will be a war forced upon us by the Imperial German Govern ment and Germany will learn to her cost that while slow to anger the United Statees will make a formidable opponent. . The people of the United States are face to face with perhaps the great est crisis in the history of the nation and the future course of the republic depends upon the developments of the next few days—perhaps hours. While we all hope that we will be spared ac tual participation in the European conflict, the country stands solidly be hind the President. Our mothers used to think Twas shocking — To show »"Wire, Iitrttr ..... . pf Stocking; ..... - But now- the girls ' ~ ’ Are wondrous wise And display steen inches To admiring eyes. We read an article the other day in which the statement was made that manufacturers have a hard time get ting good comic scenarios. If they could only stage some of the fool bills introduced during a session of the South Carolina Legislature the need could be amply supplied. About the best argument we know against planting the whole country ip cotton this year is the fact that the price of the staple “went off" $26 a bale last week. Just suppose that had happened Ust Fall when marketing was in full blast! The announcement of C. L. Blease # that he is a candidate-ior Governor in 1918 should put the Ahti-Bleaseites on the alert. They cannot afford to lose sight of the penalty they came sfr* near paying by their over-cofidence in 1916. « f —Q-— - jl Several Barnwell farmers are going to try a new departure this year—the growing of tobacco. It is said that the soils in this ‘section are well adapted to the production of an excellent qual ity of light leaf tobacco. q * n #. The total amount of cotton of the 1916 crop ginned in Jasper County is not as large as th6 increase in pro duction in Barnwell County. Only 5,005 bales have been ginned prior to January l3t. ** • 1 » ———Q ——» Q The trouble with some men is that they seem to think they are entitled to a month’s vacation every time they work an hour.—Chicago News.
