PATRIOTISM.
A former governor of South Carolina,
who is now a candidate for the
United States senate, has made several
speeches since the entry of
America into the war, in all of which
he has discussed the war. In none
of these speeches do we find one word
?not one word, mark you?of criticism
of the enemy. Xot one word of
explanation or defense of why America
entered the war, no commendation
of President Wilson or the members
of congress. Xo criticism of the
German atrocities in Belgium and
France, nor of her dastardly activi
ties in this country. Not one word.
But on the contrary, what do we find
in these speeches? Criticism of
President Wilson and the members
of congress, he even going so far as
to say that in the sight of Almighty
God every life lost in this war will be
charged to the president and the
members of congress who voted for
* war as an ''UNWARRANTED sacrifice
of American manhood." Mind
you, these speeches were made after
America had entered the war, and yet
no man who is blind enough to follow
him can point to one single expression
which shows that he is loyal
to his country. Of what use for
him to add in the next breath that he
does not want to be misunderstood,
that we are now in the war and it
must be won? Of what use is it to
utter hypocritical prayers over the
patient after the deadly poison has
been injected into his veins? And
then to have the nerve to talk about
patriotism! If one-fourth of the men
in the United States had just this kind
of Datriotic blood flowing through
their veins and our army was receiving
this kind of support from
them, we would have an army in
France about three weeks. (They cer\
tainly would not last longer than that.
Deliberately stabbing in the back the
noble boys of this country who are
facing a most unscrupulous foe, giving
their all for humanity's sake, and
then expect the mothers and fathers
of these boys to over look it, because,
forsooth, "we are now in the war and
it must be won." He may be able to
prove his patriotism by the kaiser
and those who sympathize with the
' hellish work of his brutal hordes, but
not by the reb-blooded Americans
who love their country and humanity
as well. To hell with such patriotism!
Ben Abney, general counsel of the
Southern railway, has been fired out
of his job because of his attitude toward
the government. He is a close
kinsman of the former governor of
* South Carolina who is now a candidate
for the U. S. senate, and lives in
the house with him.
Some people harp on it being the
Christian duty of a nation to keep out
of war. If Christianity does not teach
protection to the weak we do not have
a clear conception of what Christianity
is. We not only believe that it
was the duty of America to enter the
war against Germany, but we believe
that it is the duty of all Christian nations
to unite in destroying the power
of that government. How anyone
can review the outrages of Germany
against little Belgium, Roumania, and
Poland, and then say it is not a duty
to wipe such a nation off the face of
the map, is beyond our conception.
It took the former governor 01
South Carolina almost a year to figure
out a reply to the published speech he
made last year at Filbert. He first
said, a week or two ago, that the
newspapers were liars for reporting
him as saying that he did not care
what kind of America it is after he
is dead and gone. He then found
that would not work so well, inasmuch
as the newspaper that reported
him as saying it had been friendly
toward him. So at the campaign
meeting in York the other day he admitted
saying it, but says he qualified
it by the prefix "if my soul is to be
lost" he did not care, etc. Everybody
can figure out to his own satisfaction
what, if any, difference his qualification
makes. The fact remains that
he did say it. And that is not all he
said. Loyal Americans, how does this
sound from a would-be U. S. senator:
"On the final judgment day every
American citizen who is killed in this
war off American soil will be charged
against the president of the United
States and the members of the congress
of the United States who voted
for it, as an unwarranted sacrifice in
the sight of the Almighty God, of
fresh young American manhood."
These are his words as reported by
the Yorkville Enquirer, and the former
governor does not deny them. In
fact, at York the other day he reiterated
his Filbert speech by saying
that he had no appologies to make
for anything he had said. Woodrow
Wilson a wholesale murderer? The
shame, the disgrace, that South Carolina
must suffer in the name of politics,
that a man he permitted to stand
in public and make such an assertion!
A public execution would be far too
good for such a man.
?Judge R. W. Memminger, Mrs.
Memminger and their son, Robert,
and Master Reed motored up from
Charleston last week and spent several
days with Col. and Mrs. J. R.
Owens.
The Congressional Race is Wanning
Up. !
The people of the second congressional
district are certainly waking
up now to the importance of the exposure
of Mr. Byrnes's record by Mr.
Toole. It will be remembered that
last winter when congress was not in
session Mr. Toole challenged Mr.
Byrnes to debate and explain his record
faop to face to the ueonle and he
refused to do so. And said that it
would be undignified for him to do
it. but he would this summer. A
partial exposure of Mr. Bvrnes's record
has caused two more entries in
the race.
The people appreciate the bold efforts
of Mr. Toole to have Mr. Byrnes
to explain his un-American record,
wherein he has misrepresented this
district in congress. The voters
await with patience the coming congressional
campaign meetings. The
people are now ready and are going
to make a change in their congressman.
Mr. Toole's experience and
good record for service make him the
logical man for our next congressman.

showed a wonderful faith in his work
and in his .Master.

he was consecrated, agreeable,
congenial, jovial and unassuming. We
all loved him and miss him sorely.

and painfully grieved us. But we
! bow in submission to an All-Wise
Providence that mistakes not.
