A LOYAL AMERICAN.
Otto H. Kahn, a prominent banker,
of New York, is a German?a full
blooded German, born in Germany,
and once served in the German army.
But he is an American now?a
full American. The other day he
made a speech in Milwaukee, and it
is such good reading that we wish-'
to reproduce it here in this column,
because we consider it one of the best
things we have seen since America
got into the war. The Herald once
before commented on something Mr.
Kahn had paid, but at that time we j
did not know who Mr. Kahn was, or I
that he was a German, even. In his
Milwaukee speech, he says:
"It is not enough for we Americans
of German birth to merely do
^ our duty and be loyal to the United
States. We must speak out. Fair
minded men will understand that we
, are not merely blatantly patriotic in
so speaking but that we are proud
to let it be known that the blood in
our veins cannot drown the conscience
in our breasts; that the taint
of Germany is not in the blood, but
in the system of rulership.
"I was born in Germany. I served
in the German army. I was closely
connected with German business
interests until the outbreak of this
war. I know Germany and I know
the real causes of this war. Thirty
years ago?almost to the day?Germany
began laying her plans for
world conquest. The true German
saw this war coming and fought
against it, but there was no chance
against the system.
"Germany cannot offer the Russian
mobilization as an excusg. It
was provoked by Berlin and was a
menace only to Austria. I know of
my personal knowledge that the stage
was set for it six or seven years ago,
in connection with the Agadir epi'""

meant to have a footing in South
America, and, once there, would have
threatened and had prepared plans
to threaten this very country of ours.
In 1913 Austria planned to conquer
Serbia and so informed Italy, then
/ her ally.
"The spirit which brought about
this war was expressed by Nietzsche,
a great German, who wrote years before
the war started the following:
" 'You shall love peace as a means
to prepare for new wars. You say
that a good cause may hallow even
war, but I say to you that it is a good
war which hallows every cause.'
"And Vorwaerts before the war
started declared:
' / " 'The camarilla of war lords is
working with absolute unscrupulous
means to carry out their fearful deV*
signs to precipitate a world war.'
, "Americans of German blood know
that it was not the old Germany?
of which we are proud?that brought
hont war. hut the German system."

The government is urging the farmers
to plant castor beans. We understand
that this bean grows and
thrives well in Bdmberg county. If
iV our farmers can cease long enough to
think of thirty-cent cotton, it would
be a good idea for them to plant some
castor beans. It would give the
v / county another crop.

The sinking of the hospital ship
I Rewa by a German submarine last
week is -but another bit of evidence
that the people need not be surprised
at anything they do. If dollar :for
dollar and pound for pound is not
extracted from Germany for all the
damage and inhuman acts perpetrated,
she will not get her deserts.

We are of Governor Manning's
opinion that wcmian suffrage ought
to be left to the various States. We
do not think that the women o.f
e~'
South Carolina, as a whole, desire
the ballot, and we see no reason why
it should be thrust upon the State
" if the State does not want it. And
we do not think that the handful of
clubwomen in the State who want suffrage
so ardently express the opinion
of many of the State's women. Personally
speaking, if the women of
the State want suffrage, we say give
it to them, but we are not convinced

The Germans are worse than barbarians.
The American Indians, in
their fighting days, never perpetrated
the inhuman practices and barbarities
that we know the Germans have
wreaked upon those who have fallen
into their power. What they have
done that is not known is doubtless
worse than anything we know of, for
they are politic enough to hide their
deviltry as much as possible. There
was a time when we thought the
German nation should be treated as
a civilized country when peace necrktiatinnc:
are r?r?r?r*lnHprt Wp ha. vp
just about ceased to think this should
be. We are rather of the opinion
that for the good of the balance of
the world it ought to be wiped off the
face of the map as a nation. If you
don't kill a rattlesnake when you
catch one, the next best thing to do
is to pull out its fangs. As long as
Germany is allowed to exist with the
power she now possesses, she will be
a menace to the world.
We notice that two gentlemen of
Sumter have "consented to become
candidates" for one of the county offices
in that county. Is this because
of lack of men with aspirations to
fill the office, which is one mostly
of Jionor, or is it the old gag? We
thought it had gone out of style to
say that one announced for office because
of the earnest solicitation, etc.

At this season of the year fires are
more likely to occur than ordinarily.
An ounce of prevention may save
several thousand dollars. The following
facts, found in a circular issued
by the Western Reciprocal Underwriters,
are worthy of note:
Five hundred dollars a minute?
that is the cost in money of fires in
the United States.
Fifteen hundred people are killed
and five thousand are injured annually?that
is the cost in human
1 i
111U.
The cost of fires each year is approximately
one-half the cost of new
buildings erected.
The fire waste exceeds the annual
value of wheat, hay, rye and oats. It
is twice the annual value of the cot!
ton crop.
Two thousand business men will
see the best efforts of a lifetime wasted
by fire this year. Fire insurance
will return to them a large part of
their actual property loss, but it cannot
repay for equally large losses in
lost profits, interrupted operations
and general business demoralization.
Carelessness is responsible for fifty
per cent, of fire losses.
It is the duty of each of you to prevent
fires on your own property. It
is also your duty to prevent fires on
neighboring properties.
Therefore, you should report to
the proper authorities any unusual
accumulations of trash or waste and
any actions of suspicious character.
Preventing a fire is better than
extinguishing one.
Act now?today?before the fire.

President Georgia Chamber Of Com*
merce Shows How Millions Were
Saved Last Year
Atlanta, Georgia.?(Special.) ?"More
money was saved in 1917 through the i
medium of the home garden than ever
before, the United States Department
of Agriculture estimating that there
were fully one million new gardens
made last year," says H. G. Hastings,
President of the Southeastern Fair and
the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,
in an interview reviewing the 1917
farming operations in the South.
| "Thousands upon thousands of our
; people in the South," said Mr. Hast|
ings, "for the first time in their lives
learned to appreciate the money saving
power of the home garden, properI
w niannprt nrenared for. planted and
*j r?~ ?> x xr - . kept
planted during the entire season."
"Up to the present it has been very
hard to get our people to consider the
home garden seriously as a real substantial
factor in food production with
the consequent saving of money that
went for food supplies at the 'tore.
Unless we are much mistaken the
home garden will from now on be
taken as seriously as any other part
of the farm work.
"A quarter to a half acre devoted
to a variety of vegetables liked by the
family can be kept going nearly the
whole year in the South and give its
owner as much as the product of two
or three acres of cotton, even at pres-vvvill
1MI*V ntArn The

! right kind of a garden means an
abundance of healthful food during
spring, summer and fall and an abundance
either canned or dried for winter
use."
"Let no one be fooled by the lies
spread abroad that the Government
is going to seize home canned goods
on closet shelves in the farm or
home. These lies are started by German
agents for the express purpose of
discouraging our people in increased
food production and saving. Few can
go to the firing line, but all can join
in and have a part in home production
of food.
"We have never seen a permanently
prosperous farm section either in
the United States or in foreign countries
that was not a diversified section,
and in 'every diversified section
the home garden has an honored and
valued place. The home garden is a
store bUl cutter of the first rank."

Breakfast
TELLS HOW HE CURED HIMSELF.
"I was suffering terribly from j
stomach trouble and indigestion. 11
had suffered three or four years and
after trying several patent medicines
without getting relief I was greatly
distressed. I lacked a good appetite
and after breakfast I would have
vomiting spells and dizziy nervous attacks
due to the condition of my
stomach. Atter those years of suffering
Acid Iron Mineral was recommended
to me as a great remedy for
such troubles and I was completely
cured of indigestion and sickness after
using two bottles. It helped me
when nothing else would and I be|
lieve it will help others with the
I same trouble because I know what
it will do. It is a great blood purifier
too," declared Mr. F. G. Addison,
a school teacher at Van Dyke,
