ESTABLISHED APRIL, 1891.
Thursday, August 16, 1917.
Talking about German spies, there
are some people right under our
noses who would bear scrutiny as
much if not more than any stranger
who conies to town. There is room
for doubt about those we know little
of, but there is no doubt at all about
some of those we know quite well.
Prospects are that business will be
good this fall. According to a Baltimore
paper, the wholesale houses
are expecting record-breaking sales.
Xow is the time for the retailer to
man nut a campaign of advertising.
The farmers are going to have more
, money than ever before in the history
of the county. Naturally everybody
else will get a share. The merchant
who properly advertises his
wares this fall will be bound to get
the business.
The letter written by ex-Senator
John L. McLaurin has a good ring
to it. It is quite different from the
expressions of some of those who
sleep in the same political camp.
Senator McLaurin is a brainy, able
1 man, and it is no surprise that in a
crisis of this kind he stands square
to the colors. He is a man from whom
the government may well expect
loyalty, and he is due all the credit
such expressions in this crisis are entitled
to receive.
Absolute loyalty to the government
should be and will be demanded or
every person within this country.
When the privilege of free speech
is so abused that it is used to incite
the people against the government, it
is about time some restrictionsywere
thrown around it. There are some
people in the United States and in
South Carolina who would be stood
up against a wall and made to confront
a firing sq,uad if they lived in
any other country in the world.
There is really no cause for alarm
from the clampr heard in certain
quarters about the war. It has always
been the same way. History
records the fact that in the Revoluy
tionary war the most disturbing facor
in America was the tories, who
came near causing the defeat of
American freedom. Had Washington
and his compatriots paid heed to the
tories, there would be no America
' today. The tories not only talked
against the war, but actually entered
the field and fought against America's
defenders.
It makes one tired to see the streettalker
arguing against the war. People
must certainly have an excellent
nf inrio-mpnt when they
upiuiuu Ul. J
put it up agajnst that of Wilson and
the government. What has become
of the confidence the nation had in
Wilson a year ago? Every time the
nation has confronted a crisis since
President Wilson was elected to office,
the judgment of the president has
proven absolutely correct. Had the
president listened to popular clamor,
the country would now be fightingMexico,
instead of protecting herself
against Germany. The president
knew. He knows no*w.
What has become of the war-like
ex-governor of a few months ago?;
If we remember correctly it was not so
very long ago when the former
governor was anxious to go to
Mexico at the head of a South
Carolina regiment to wipe out the
Mexicans. It is possible that the
extreme pacifist now making speeches
over the State against war is the same
man? Reminds us of the fact that
before a state of war was declared
with Germany on every hand there
could be heard criticisms of the government
for allowing insults from
Germany. Now that we have war
and opportunity for people to show
their real?not pretended?patriotism,
just about the same people are
arguing the other way.
According to the Charleston American
everybody in this war is wrong
but Germany and the kaiser. They
are right. England had no business
to get into the war, and after she
did get into it, she ought to get beat.
America had nO right to get into the
war, and the utterances of that newspaper
would make one believe it
thinks she ought to get beat for interfering
with Germany. Herbert
Hoover is all wrong, says the American;
President Wilson is a pin-head.
Everybody and everything is wrong
but the kaiser and Germany. They
are right. We have never yet seen a
solitary criticism of Germany in that
worthy newspaper. We forgot to in
dude Cole Blease in the American's
category of the just. He is all right:
the kaiser and Cole Blease.
War is an awful thing to contemplate,
but so long as war exists in the
world, it is absolutely useless for this
country to talk about not fighting if
occasion arises. As long as there is
a nation under the face of the sun
that is guilty of such an atrocity as
the fate that befell the crew of the
Belgian Prince, sunk by a German
! submarine, there will be war and war
i
to a finish. There is no longer any
apparent reason why this crime can
be doubted. The crew of this illfated
vessel was ordered upon the
| deck of the submarine. The small j
j boats of the sunken vessel were
j smashed and the life belts of the
(men were taken away from them.
, While the crew was upon the deck, the
submarine was submerged, leaving
the men to flounder and die in the
(water like so many rats. Of the
) crew of forty-one, three survived and
j were rescued. One of the survivors
;is an American, and there is no reason
to doubt his story.

Drying Fruits and yegetables.
The drying of vegetables and fruits
j in the home is practical, so that now
when the rush of canning is over, we
can still preserve our surplus for
winter use, without buying more jars
I and cans and standing over over the
j hot 3tove. Sun-drying was the oldfashioned
way, but the trays have to.
be protected from dust and insects
and also from rain and dew. The
quickest and most satisfactory meth
od is by artificial heat; in the warming
closet of the range oven with
| door left open, or in a frame made
I to hang over the stove next to the
stove pipe. There are also dryers on
the market, but the home-made ones
I are just as good, and cheaper.
The general principles of drying
i are:
1. Blanching or plunging in boiling
water from 3 to 10 minutes. This
removes objectionable acids, coagulates
albuminous matter, and causes
the natural flavor to be retained. To
preserve the color, a little soda is
added, and for apples and peaches, a
little salt in the water will keep
them from turning dark.
? Snread on trays, place in sun
or dry by artificial heat?110 to 120
fahrenheit. *
3. Time, from 3 to 6 hours, depending
on kind of food and amount
of heat. Receptacles for storing'may
be tin boxes, old tin cans, stone or
glass jars, paper bags or some of the
paper cartons that are on the market.
It is best to h^ve packages small,
and stored in a cool dry place.

Keeping Her Busy.
An old lady went one morning to a
| friend who kept poultry, to purchase
i a setting of eggs. The latter, not
I having many on hand, asked: "Have
i you got your broody lien?''
j "Well, no," answered the prospeci
tive purchaser, "but our old hen has
i broken her leg and she might as well
j spend her time hatching out some
j eggs as to sit around doing nothing."

! DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE UP AGAINST.
It appears from news which leaked
out of Germany, in spite of the unusually
close censorship, that the German
officials are telling their men
and women that the American troops
will cut little figure in tiie Dig war..
If the German people knew what they!
were up against they would refuse to
listen to such foolish assertions.
The funniest part of it is that they:
claim that Americans can't think (
quick enough. What a joke! That's;
our reputation?quick to think. The
Germans will find that out soon j

home should get ready for the big

Of course we all can't go to the;;
front but we can do our bit in just
as important a manner right here at j
home. Let us keep fit to carry on
the industries of the nation, till the'
