This country is now at war with j
Germany and her allies. Every loyal |
American now talks for America. If
he can't talk for America, he uses
nothing but good horse sense not to
talk at all.
Wonder how some of those fellowsl
who have hastened to offer their services
to the president would feel if
the president should happen to accept
their services and assign them
to duty as humble privates.
Everybody is advised by the au
tnorities to plant pientnuiiy 01 some-1
thing to eat. .Food is not only high,
but it is scarce, and is geting scarcer
every day. The families who now
possess full barns and smokehouses
are forunate indeed. Farmers are
urged to plant plenty of grain and
good gardens, and city residents are
advised to plant their back yards in
gardens, if they have no garden spot.
A whiskey circular sent out from
Jacksonville contains the following
"'double warning:"
On and after April 25th you will
have to secure ^a permit from the
judge of probate of the county in
which you reside, upon the payment
of a fee of ten cents to him, -before
you are permitted to receive whiskey.
You can then receive only one quart
a month for medicinal use.
On and after July 1st, 1917. you ]
will not be permitted to receive whis- .
key in interstate commerce or use the
mails to order whiskey. J
This is the effect of a recent law ,
passed by the congress of the United ]
States prohibiting shipments of liquors
from wet to dry States.

We wish that ev^fry farmer in t
Bamberg county could have heard 1
the address of Mr. Barton at the
court nouse last inursaay. we i
thought the address was so good that i
we are giving considerable space to- i
day to an account of the meeting, s
We think every one of our readers 4
will profit by reading this article i
carefully. Of course, there are a
great many people who do not believe i
that the boll weevil will ever get t
here. Their belief is not founded i
upon fact. We predict that the wise c
farmer will begin to prepare at once
for the inevitable. And, even should (
the weevil never come, the country 1
would be far better off by following c
the suggestions made by Mr. Barton, g
Statistics prove that South Carolina i
is "cotton poor." Our farmers have g
become so wedded to cotton that 1
there seems to be hardly such a thing i
as parting from it. But part we f
must, if the weevil comes; and people <
who ought to know say it is coming. \
\It will be too late to think of pre- s
paredness after we have lost a crop.
A striking feature of the address i
Thursday was the chart showing the I
number of live stock raised in South a
Carolina since 1850. There has been ]
a decrease in all stock except mules. I
This industry should be revived in c
the State. Mr. Barton made the s
statement that conditions were better
in this State for stock raising i
than in the great stock raising State c
of Iowa. t

CUBA ENTERS FIGHT. r
Resolution for War Against Germany jPasses
Both Houses Unanimously.
v
Habana, April 7.?Cuba, not yet N
out of her 'teens as a republic, is at' r
war with Germany?the first of the r
Latin-American countries to range
herself alongside the United States,
her liberator and protector.
At 7:16 tonight President Menocal
affixed his signature to the joint reso- c
lution passed unanimously late this _
d
afternoon by both the senate and
house without a dissenting voice being
raised, thus putting into effect t
the declaration that a state of war j
exists between Cuba and the imperial
German government.
The joint committees appointed t
only yesterday by the senate and s
house agreed early this afternoon on
the phraseology of the resolution to f
be Dresented and the stage was set e
for quick action before either branch
of congress convened.
The senate acted with extreme
solemnity. The resolution was read by
Dr. Ricardo Dolz, Conservative lead- a
er, who took the floor and made a c
short, impressive speech in favor of
the resolution. No amendments were j
offered and the 17 senators present a
voted "aye" when the motion was f
put. There was no applause or ex- f
citement following the vote. t
The scene in the house was more j
enlivened. The galleries were pack- Q
ed long before the session opened.
The ministers of France, Spain and
Uruguay occupied seats in the diplomatic
section.

DEATH OF ( APT. CAVE.
Brave Survivor of Civil War l>ie<l at
Olar Saturday.
Olar, April 10.?"Captain Cave is
dead." As a consequence of the
spreading of this message last Saturday
evening the hearts of almost the
entire citizenship of this community
were burdened witfi grief. For the
past few weeks one seldom walked
the streets of Olar without hearing
the inquiry, "How is Captain Cave?"
This intense interest in his welfare
was purely a manifestation of the
Invo flint niiV- nannla nnccoccorl fnr
? v i"w i, v u | v. w ^ i v/ i' vi 4 v/i
him. The only way that one can accomplish
a place of such high esteem
is to live as he lived, the life of a
christian soldier, always ready to
respond to the call of duty.
At the age of 1 5 years and 11
months he responded to the call of
his country, and on Sept. 6th, 1861,
he enlisted in Co. H. 17th regiment,
S. C. volunteers, Wallace brigade.
He served as a brave soldier engaged
in actual fighting on the battle fields
until his company was completely
surrounded and forced to surrender
at Dinwiddie court house on the 1st
day of April, 1865, and then he held
his gun until the enemy was in ten
feet of them. He, with his company,
was placed in a bull pen prison until
the next day, and then carried to
Point Look Out prison, where he remained
with very little to eat and
under negro guards until June 27th,
1865, at which time he was sent to
retersourg, wnere ne was paroled.
Bare-footed and with clotlies threadbare,
he began to tramp his way
home. He arrived at Blackville on
July 4th, 1365, with blistered feet,
ragged clothes, tired and hungry,
rommenting on the destroyed home
ind property Capt. Cave said, "Thank
:he Lord they could neither burn the
and or carry it with them."
In the spring of 1S76, Capt. Cave
igain responded to the call of duty,
md fought hard toward the accomplishment
of that famous victory. He
served as "captain" of a company of
'Red Shirts" and there is where he
.von the title of "captain."
Captain Cave was always a promi- i
lent Democrat. He was a delegate
;o each county convention from 1876
jp to the present, and has been a
ielegate to two State conventions.
Captain Cave also had some political
honors. He was supervisor of !
3arnwell county, before Bamberg ,
;ounty was formed, for two terms
ind will ever be remembered for the
nagnificent way in which he conduct
?d that office. When he was elected, ,
Barnwell county was over $35,000
n debt, and when he went out of of
ice the county had to her credit over .
>19,000. He was also the first super- ;
usor in Bamberg county. He served 1
;everal terms as mayor of Olar.
Captain Cave was a prominent j
nember of the Knights of Pythias. ;
Be was a past chancellor commander, .
md for a number of years had been .
ceeper of records and seal of his (
tome lodge. He was considered one j
>f tbe best keepers of records and
;eals Tn the State. \
He was a faithful member of the }
Baptist church and had been a dea- {
on since 1 872. He was always ready t
o serve his Lord. His influence was i
trofitable, and his advice to young (
lien was invaluable. <
Captain Cave had a remarkable
amily record. He was 72 years old <
?n the first day of last October. He
ras married twice, first to Miss Sarah
Cix, and second to Miss Minnie Bentett.
As a result of his first mariage,
ten children were born, four
>f which survive him: \V. B. Cave.
}. W. Gave, and Mrs. G. O. Barker, <
if Olar. and Mrs. Joe Chitty, of Nor- t
ray. ' To his second marriage, five
hildren were born, three of which,
.ges 11, 7, and 3, are living.
His mother, Mrs. George Morris, 1
if Barnwell county, is still living at
he age of SS and is in very good
tealth.
His death breaks a chain of chain <
if five living generations. He has >
wenty-five living grandchildren and j
even great-grandchildren. (
Besides a good old mother and a
aithful wife and the above mention- i
id children he leaves the following j
lalf brothers and sisters: Sheriff J. (
3. Morris, of Barnwell, Mr. O. H. (
lorris, of Olar, Mrs. Mary Bodiford,
Irs. Sallie Delk, Mrs. Maggie Croft
nd Mrs. G. H. Ray, all of Barnwell
ounty.
The interment took place in the
Saptist cemetery in the presence of
. large concourse of relatives and
riends Sunday afternoon. The (
uneral services were conducted by i
he Rev. D. W. Heckle, pastor of the
Jartist church, assisted by Rev. A.
lassard, of the .Methodist church.
