Communications.—We are always
glad to publish news letters or those
pertaining to matters of public inter
act. We require the name and ad
dress of the writer in every case, not
for publication but for our own pro
tection. No article which is defama
tory or offensively personal can find
place in our columns at any price, and
we are not responsible for the opinions
expressed in any communication.
The requests that we conserve both
wool' and leather are puisling to the
feminine half of the population. Should
skirts be shorter and shoes higher?
Or should shoes be shorter and skirta
longer? What would the people who
are concerned with morals say if the
shoes were lower and shirta shorter?
“Over the top” twice over and eight
per cent addition to spare is Barnwell
County’s record in the Third Liberty
Lon. And that’s pretty good evi
dence that the county as a whole has
some interest in what kind of an Amer
ica this is when the present genera
tions are dead and gone.
Considering the assiduity and unani
mity and strenuosity with which the
Colonel 4s sawing wood, all fear of a
fuel famine next winter should be dis
sipated.

general satisfaction
Genera! Chemistry is also a line
in which we have heretofore relied al
most wholly on (Germany, this from
the fact that American chemists were
not willing to undergo the rigorous
study and research necessary to at
tain high standing in that line. But
this too is fast being changed, and in
a very short time, if not already,
American chemists will be fully the
equals of any in the world.
In fact, we are just now’ waking up
to the fact that there" are a number of
lines of industry, w’herein we have
heretofore been content to rely upon
other peoples, that, if we are to man-
tain our position among the nations,
we must master and conduct for our
selves. We have been too deeply ab
sorbed in- what we termed the big
things of life, and many smaller mat
ters that, nevertheless, play an im
portant part in the economy of life,
have been neglected.
If the war, viewed purely from an
industrial or commercial standpoint,
shall have caused us to stop and gath
er up the loose ends of industry, it will
at least not have been all bad.
“I don’t care what kind of an Amer

Excerpt from speech of Cole L.
Bleaae at Filbert on August 3rd, 191T,
as reported by the Yorkville Enquir
er, a supporter of the former govern
or. Well, about one hundred million
real Americans do care, and for that
reason alone will see that the war is
fought to a successful conclusion

treatment, and was buried at the Al
