While jjiuch uneasiness is felt gen- tl erally over the loss of American lives al on the Lusitania when it was sunk is by a German submarine, the people la seem to have perfect confidence in tr President Wilson, and believe that pj whatever action he takes will be for 1,- the best. The president has shown hi himself to be able to cope with the Si gravest diplomatic problems, and he M will doubtless settle this matter to the cc satisfaction of everyone. m M Monday night President Wilson fr ? i J -PhtloHalnhia saiu iu <x sj/co," nk ? u??uvru.?. U] x "There is such a thing as a man be- w ing too proud to fight. There is m such a thing as being so right that d] it does not need to convince by force se that it is right." These remarks are ai supposed to refer to the present m - crisis with Germany. A close ad- C? viser of the president says that his w course ip one of "humanity first." National honor should be maintained. i, , but it would not seem logical to sacrifice thousands of lives in war because of the loss of a few who disre- te garded previous warning^ and run ta the risk of death ^knowingly. st - et Governor Manning says that in his tj. actions in regard to the Sfate Hospital for the Insane lie has had first con-l j( sideration for the poor unfortunates I V{ in the institution. We believe what <ji the governor says; and even if he has jn been overzealous. as some papers tj charge, in regard to the institution, he has. we believe, acted only for the tt best interests of the inmates. This si institution has been so demoralized, sl ' so to speak, by political intrigues during the past few years, that it is tl quite refreshing to have someone act si solely for the good of those cared for in the hospital. It appears to a cas- Sl ual observer that the inmates have jr been a small consideration in recent ft. years, by some of the powers that "have been." r( KILLKI) BY DAISY'S BITE.

The'sentiment e\pressed in the "esident's speech was epitomized ter by one of his closest advisers as humanity first." While it had not ^ it been determined, he said, exactwhat steps would be taken by the nited States in the present crisis, te idea uppermost in the president's _ ind was to show that whatever ^ mrse is adopted?no matter how ^ gorous?it will have as its objec- _ t ve the good of humanity.

BIBBS ABE DISTUHBKI). lucli Shooting Has l>isturl>e<l tlie j Feathered Flock of Europe. u C Even the birds have gone wrong in A urope. .Man's madness has upset s> ieir( lives and habits and the very S ?w ornithologists in England and o ranee who can stick to their study f birds, in spite of the war, are u matching their heads about it. says P .'illiam G. Shepherd, a United Press o jrrespondent in Europe. s The pathways of the birds, as the/- c y to the south in winter and back d gain, in the spring, have been map- fi ed out for years in Europe. But the e irds have forsaken their old routes|C nd the bird men say it is because of i p le war. I p Shore lights, and even the lights of n le tqwn, it seems, are guides for the g irds in their long southward jfuir- w eys and, this year ,the lights are o one. The same light that would di- b ect a little feathered fellow toward n anny Italy would also direct a huge a eppelin toward an English coast 1 >wn. So all the folks of the air, 1< hether covered with feathers or canas, are traveling in the dark this t! ear. The canvas birds can carry p ieir own lights, in a pinch, but the ii ther kind must get along as best .F ley can, without lamps. There is tl o doubt that the birds found their H ay to the south, as usual, but they c; roped their way, and it w>s prob- m bly slow traveling. Their return to v ie north, when spring comes, will be s; 3 difficult. The bird men have proved, beyond g doubt, that the birds are disturbed g v the sounds of firing. n The Rev. Charles Kent, of Thet- tl >rd, one Saturday night recently, n eard a terrific chattering of the b heasants and small birds around his tl ouse. There was terrific fuss in i< irdlom. The cries were shrill and a ild. The birds left their beds in ^ ie trees and flew about in terror. t( heir ears were catching sounds in a ie air that the rector and family Si ere missing. h But, when the rector picked up the it undav morning paper, he saw that e ie German Zeppelin had bombarded ie coastNsome miles away, during s] ie very hours of the birds' excite- o lent. He was so impressed that he j a o latter tn the Timps about it. ! it hereupon many other residents of lat part of England said that all the p irds, in their neighborhoods, had a inducted themselves in the most ex- p aordinary manner during the raids, a ren though the writers, themselves, p ad not been able to hear the sounds ci I footing. si At a distance of 97 miles the pheas- h uts shrieked themselves hoarse ovr sounds of firing. Whether the birds will become tir1 of the incessant firing on the connent and impatiently leave the war q istricts remains to be seen.

Time for War on Potato Buj That common pest, (the potato 5 now requiring attention in So !arolina potato fields, according l. F. Conradi, entomologist of CI on college.
