I N The Pikeus Sentiiel] - ?WIKENS, S. C. SEPTEMBER 17, 1914. Entered at Pickens Pstofice as Second Class MaUB Mat4er. GARY HioTT, MANAGER The Sentinel is not responsible for the iiews of its corres pondents. 1914 SEPTEMBIR1914 S M T WFT F S 6 8 91112 131' 7819 21 46 "All's well that ends well." Have you bought a bale yet? The fortunes of war are noth ing to its misfortunes. Talk may be cheap but lot of extravagant remarks are made. Many a girl's ideal is shatter ed when she finds that he is broke. No doubt the average poet wears his hair long on the theory * that there is no short cut to fame. Of all sad words of tongue or pen the saddest are: "The watermelon season is just about over." * We will never have peace un till Germany is crushed-Eng Love is blind, which may ac count for the fact that consider able courtship is conducted in the dark.. - Wouldn't it be fi.,: to be able to join the "buy a bale" move aient. Think of having fifty dollars all at one time. President Wilson has joined the "Buy a bale" movement, *and has sent his cheek for $50 * to buy a bale of the fleecy staple. Prdsident Wilson has issued a proclamation calling on the people of the United States to pray for peace in Europe, and sets aside Sunday. October 4, as a day of prayer. T'he Bible speaks of "the time when kings go foith to battle." Modern kings have improved upon that method. They stay safely out of range and invoke Divine blessing upon .the peas forth to battle. An extra session of the legislature, to convene at noon October 6. is called by a pro clamation the . governor .issued last Thursday night to consider the cotton situation and to pass such laws as in their judgment may be necessary for the relief of the citizens of the State. Notwithstanding the extra ordinary arrangements that are being made to finance the cot ton crop, we think it is foolish to count on planting a full crop next year. This European war: is going t make something to1 eat the first consideration, not1 only in Europe, but also in America. Folks who raise cot ton next year regardless of con-1 ditions, without first supplying themselves with food, are going1 to lose money and. have a hard - .time. The thing to do now is to make arrangements to sow every acre that can be sowed to1 wheat, oats, rye, legumes and the like. Then next spring give attention to corn. The tragedy of Belgium ap -2 peals to the sympathies of the1 world. Why should she, a peaceful, prosperous. happy little state, be forced to suffer the brunt of a war she had no part iin making? The courage and patriotism of the Belgians in resisting the violation of their neutrality and refusing to give way to the invaders without a valiant struggle must be ap plauded by all lovers of justice. ven Germany does not con radict Belgium's rights in the atter, but excuses the German invasion on the plea of military necessity. Thus is it shown that war knows no rule but the rule of might. 'The heroism of the Belgian defense is the 'xe, shining star in the black :1ght of European horrors. wherever home and loved ones are cher ished, there must the heroism of the Belgian peasants in the c defense of their firesides and p - amilies be honored, and the d itt-er irt.that has overwhelm- g onice beautiful countrya be deplored. We verily believe the two hundred majority in Cherokes ~ and the forty two majority in York for Mr. Richards were .of floaters from tar how would, ~be V he State~ a epthose two tc qo Extra Session I Georgia Legislature Governor Slaton's refusal this veek to call a special session of t< he state legislature to consider I neans of meeting the crisis in' d he cotton situation was based, a ie explained to reporters later, A )n the constitution, which would J )revent any real remedy being 01 ipplied, even if a special session o vere called. The general as- e: ;emblv can be called in special J ;ession only for sorpe specific E 3urpose, and it would be hard to 4 specify just what legislation is o aeeded. In addition, it is im- E ossible to amend the state con- I titution inside of two years. I rhe committee of Macon citi gens who.called on the governor, t: uggested a "stay law," and I the governor pointed out that 8 the "stay laws" passed in Geor- o ia just after the war had been dcclared unconstitutional. The E suggestion that an excess of I cotton over a certain amount be t taxed also met with constitu tional obiections. When the suggestion. -was made that the legisliiture be'] called to pass resolutions re- I questing aid from Washington, Governor Slaton pointed out the heavy cost of such a session. He stated that the real source of relief must come from congress and the treasury department. He declared that the govern- S ment. the sole body with power to issue money, would respond r at once, or it will fall to perform its function. I hope the people of Georgia will not submit themselves to be made battledores and shuttle cocks," he declared. "The c government is the source of re- ' lief. No evasion or postpone- e ment shall be allowed. The N people should know that when r a representative in congress re- " fers this question to the states s he is endeavoring to shirk his a responsibility. t s S Death of Little Cluld.
