Aiken Comity Patriotie League Denounces
Utterance*.
Aiken, Aug. 7.?At a special meeting
Monday night of the Aiken county
Patriotic League, which is composed
of nearly 200 of the leading
citizens of Aiken and vicinity, and
which has several- branch leagues
throughout the county, an organization
formed when the United States
entered upon the world war. the
speeches made by C. L. Blease at
j Pom aria ami h iioert ana ine euuci ui
I such expressions coming from a
former governor and political leader
were discussed and the tactics of .Mr.
Blease denounced.
The league adopted the following
resolution, calling upon the federal'
authorities to silence the anti-war
I propaganda in South Carolina: i
I "Whereas, the public safety is
menaced and the war measures of
I our government are discredited and
discounted, and thereby aid and comfort
is afforded the enemies of the
United States by loose and disloyal if
not seditious and treasonable talk
freely indulged within the borders of
our county and State; and
"Whereas, in opposition to the selective
draft, registered men are influenced
to claim exemption by those
who in public addresses delivered in
South Carolina and in priva-te conversation
denounce the president and
the congress of the United States because
the United States is embarked
nnnn a war for human liberty and
V*rv? ?
for our own defense and rights, and
those who discuss and urge that the
constitutionality of the selective
draft law be tested; and
"Whereas, there is undoubtedly on
foot in South Carolina an organized
purpose and intent to poison the
minds of the people against the participation
of the United States in the
war, to sap the loyalty of the people
under unprincipled and unscrupulous
leadership seeking political preferment
and to that end striving treasonably
to create dissatisfaction with
the selective draft and to obscure
and becloud the real meaning to the
American people of this war, and
"Whereas, the influence of such
unlawful and disloyal leadership,
spread broadcast throughout the
Stat? by at least one newspaper in
Charleston which has been avowedly)
pro-German up to the time of the
entrance of the United States into
the war and which since then has
distorted the facts in regard to the
' * - J PoaHnq'
allies of tne inueu ot<ai,c?, otcmuc
to dissatisfy the public with the conduct
of the war and injecting partisan
politics for the purpose of creating
a situation which would be ambarrassing
to loyal, patriotic and redblooded
South Carolinians; and
"Whereas, it is evident that the
influence of this propaganda is telling
in South Carolina and that dissatisfaction
with the selective draft
is increasing under the influence of
person or person^ who are openly
and brazenly denouncing the State
and federal governments and who
are looked to for leadership in this
State by a large portion of our people,
and
"Whereas, we, as patriotic ami loyal
American citizens and citizens of
South Carolina, are moved to save
our State from the unutterable shame
of such consequences as may be expected
to follow if the propaganga
now being so vigorously pushed is
allowed to go unchecked, and
"Whereas, in ignorance, through
prejudice, and blindly, many of our
people are following such leadership
and succumbing to such influence, we
believe, to their own ruin, and are
themselves encouraged to indulge in
disloyal and unworthy language for
the reason that the seditious and
treasonable utterances of their lead
ers are unchallenged by the state,
i federal and military authorities and
they are emboldened thereby; I
"Now, therefore, be it resolved:
"1. That we, the Aiken County
Patriotic League, with malice to
none, but moved by patriotic impulse
and desire to avert threatening
trouble and perhaps bloodshed, call
upon the authorities of the State of
South Carolina, the United States
government and the war department
to take such steps as may be necessary
to immediately check this propaganda
in South Carolina, whether by
inndictment against leaders spreading
sedition, disloyalty and dissatisfaction,
by closing the mails to or
suppression of publications which
are the mouthpieces of such leaders,
or by invoking any laws in force and
effect which prohibit the furnishing
of aid and comfort to the enemies
of the United States.
"2. That a copy of these resolutions
be furnished the governor of
South Carolina, the president of the
United States, the Soutli Carolina
! State council of defense, the war department
and the district attorney of
the United States."

"Mother Shinton's Phophecy."
Carriages without horses shall go,
And accidents fill the world with woe.
Around the world thought shall fly
In the twinkling of an eye.
Water shall yet more wonders do.
Now strange, yet shall he true.
The world upside down shall he.
And gold be found at the root of tree
Through hills man shall ride,
And 110 horse or ass at his side.
I'nder water men shall walk:
Shall ride, shall sleep, shall taik.
In air men shall be seen,
In white, in black, in green.
Iron in the water shall float
As easy as a wooden boat.
Gold shall be found, and round
In a land that's not now known.
Fire and water shall wonders do.
England shall at last admit a Jew.
The world to an end shall come
In eighteen hundred and eighty-one.
The above remarkable prophecy,
known as "Mother Shiptcn's Prophecy"
is especially appropriate at this
time when wonders which the ordinary
man never dreamed of are coming
to pass. ,

Very Foolish Husband.
Mr. Babcock had just been telling
his wife of an old friend.
"And he said he knew me when I
was a little girl?" interrogated the
wife.
"Xo," said Babcock, "he didn't say
anything^of the sort."
"But you just said he did," said
Mrs. Babeock.
"Xo," said the man, "I didn't."
".Why, Charles!" exclaimed the
wife. "What did he say then?"
"I said," replied the brute, "that
he said he knew you when he was a
little boy."?Life.
It's the Sad Truth.
"I need a lot of new things- this
fall," began Mrs.' Wife. "We have
to get a new rug for the dining room
and some curtains for the living
room. We need some new dishes,
too. And, besides, I haven't a thing
to wear. I've got to get a new evening
dress and a street dress, and a
couple of new hats, and I haven't a
pair of shoes to my name, and?"

Too Much of a Good Thing.
"Why not hire an efficiency expert
to reorganize your office force?"
"I tried that once," replied the
business man.
"Didn't the plan succeed?"
"Only too well. Everybody quit
but the efficiency expert, and I discharged
him for fear he might try
to re-organize me."?System.

"Gadsby has always wanted to live
in a cottage by the sea. That's the
dream of his life."
"And I presume fate has doomed
him to end his days in a flat?"
"Yes. But Gadsby is an optimistic
fellow. He still clings to the marine
glasses he bought years ago."?Boston

But You Might Die.
A member of the Boston Arthur's
Club sprung this joke the other day:
i "There's one good thing about
i buying an encyclopedia on the installI
ment plan."
"And what is that ?"
"No matter how long it takes, you
are pretty sure to have it paid for
before you have read it through."?

No Slouch.
The men in the Pullman smoker
were arguing as to who was the greatest
inventor. One said Stephenson,
who invented the locomotive and
made fast travel possible. Another
declared it was the man who invented
the compass, which enabled men
to navigate the seas. Another contended
for Edison. Still another for
the Wrights.
Finally on'e of tkem turned to a little
man who had remained silent.

"Veil," he said with a hopeful
smile, "the man who invented interest
was no slouch."?Leslie's.
Very I'rgent.
An insurance man tells this one:
"Not long ago there rushed into
one of our offices in the South a very
excited woman; so excited in fact,
that she was out of breath and could
speak only with difficulty.
" 'What's the trouble?' asked one
of the clerks.
" '1 want a policy at once?at
once!' exclaimed the woman, when
she had recovered sufficiently to articulate
'Our house is on fire!'"?

At the funeral of Baron Lionel de
Rothschild, father of the late Lord

It was his first night on guard and,
of course, John Smith was on his
guard against officers and such like
questioning him on his duties.
As it happened, he was at a station

CITY OFFICIAL ENDORSES A-I-M.
Says it Should l>e Used by Every
Person Advancing in Age.
"It Prolongs Life."
The following statement, coming
from a prominent city official of Salem,
Va., bears weight in that it
comes from one whose position demands
the truth at all times. Read
what he says:
"I have tried Acid Iron Mineral
and can highly recommend it as a
constitution builder and general
heaith restorer. I believe every person
of advanced age slrould take Acid
Iron Mineral, and it will prolong their
life. I have also found it very valuable
in stopping blood and healing
sores," says Mr. F. G. Webber, chief
of police and superintendent water
works, Salem, Virginia.
Men prominent in public life do
not make a habit of praising medivjothor
thpv condemn them.
V/XilCOt JLbUV'AV* v? ?w
And in that Acid Iron Mineral has
proved so efficient as to win the
praise of Chief Webber is indeed a
triumph for this wonderful preparation
of nature's.
Acid Iron Moneral is not a patent
medicine. The chemist has been unable
to imitate or reproduce it. It
is obtained from the only natural
medicinal iron mineral deposit of its
kind known to the world.
For- creating appetite, increasing
weight, purifying the blood, building
up-weak, anaemic people, and restoring
weak vital organs to normal it is
of exceptional merit. Many doctors
prescribe it.

says: , "I was subject to severe

were unnatural and irregular in passage.
