With impressive services. Sunday ev ening a service flag was raised at the First Methodist church in honor of the thirty-five mni and one woman who have gone out in the service of the country. The flag was presented to the church by th Davies Missionary Society whose members made it with their own hands. The flag contains thirty-live stars for each of the thirty-five n.a gone out from the church and a red cross for the one woman member of the church, Miss Fannie Boulware, who has entered the Red Cross as a nurse. The address of the evening was made by Geo. B. Cromer, of Newberry. The )resentation services were pre ceded by a musical program, a reading by Miss Rebecca Dial and prayer by Rev. Squires. The first musical num ber was "America" played oil the pipe organ by the organist, Mrs. Hicks, fol lowe(d by a medley of airs of the allied nations. Just preceding the introduc tion of Dr. Cromer Mr. John A. Ilicks gave a stirring rendition of The Mlarseilles. While the audience stood and sang two verses of The Star Span gled Banner the service flag was slow ly raised by Misses Lois Fuller and Myra Steadman, both of whom have brothers4 in the service. Dr. Cromer was introduced briefly hy Rev. Steadman, pastor of the church, who spoke of him as one whlo hII(] given unselfishly of his time and talents in the cause of his country. The large congregation which heard his masterly address was richly repaid by his able, inspiring and patriotic it terances. For over an hour he held the rapt attention of his audience. He re recounted the barbarous acts of the Germans which finally forced this na tion into the war and Justified the alli ance of this nation with her present allies, both by reason of the common cause which they represent, by reason of sentimental and racial ties and by reason of debts which this nation owed to France and 'England. Recalling the gallant LaFayette and other French men who had come to the assistance of this country when she was fighting for her freedom, he pointed out that at the smrrender of Conwallis at Yorktownt Frenchmen outnumbered Americans in the army and navy which forced the mapitulation of the British. Turning to the eulogy of Eingland he said that the War of the Revolution was not at war of EInglishmuen against the Colon ists but a war of a German elector oin the 1English throne against the Aiperi Pans. Such great Englishmen as Burke [Ind Fox symna Ithized with the colon Ists. There were more German Isol rliers in the British army, he said, than iEnglish. Touching various episodPe of international significance since that time the speaker came down to the Spanish-American war when Admiral Chichester, of the British navy, gave an ominous warning to the German Admiral Itetrich in Manilla Bay, which no doubt prevented a wvar b~e tween this country and Germany. D)r. Cromer closed his address with a cut logy of the men who had gone out from thme church and mlade a stirring appleai for patriotic suiport of them andl their comrades inl Fratce. "They atre mnak lag the great sacrifice," he said, "bmut none of its yet have begun to sacrifice,. France has p)ut 7,500,000 men in the field out of a population of 35r,000,000 and thtat meant that every man, wvomtan anld child had to make a supreme sac iIflee thtat thme army amight conltinuec to; fight. When this nation will htave doneI whiat France has (lone she will have 25,000,000 men in thec field and nothing bitt the 01ld men, cripples and children wvill be left behind to work. For thtis ireason,"' he continued, "it is fimeiative that we shtoitld grant every request of tihe government and sub~scr'ibe to ev ery loan in order that an ear'ly and vie toriouts peace nmaiy be won."'

S. M. & E. H. Wilkes & Co. To the Voters of the Fourth Congressional District Your loyal support of my candidacy for Congress, as shown by the spelndid vote given me in the First Primary, fills me with a sense of appreciation and a confidence of success in the Second. My efforts to conduct a clean campaign upon a high plane, eliminating personalties and discussing real, National Issues, of vital imp >rtance, have met with approval. A just and fair critic ism of the record of my opponent has shown that he has not backed the Admini ration as he should in the Great War and prepared~ness meas esin the_.sixtpfourth Congress. His opposi tion to the Draf mfFi the sixty-fifth Congress,---that great Democratic Measure, fundamentally necessary for winning the war---demonstrates a want of appreciation of the magnitude of the task before our Nation. Loyalty is the battle-cry of our reo pie today; and fidelity to duty is demanded of every public offic ial. This is no time for a question mark to be placed opposite the F'ourth Congressional District of South Carolina. Tne policies of our Government toward the war are set tIed. In spite of our' unpreparedness, we shall win the war glo riously, and the principles of Liberty shall become the heritage of all the peoples of the earth. Your C'ongressman-elect will have to face new problems that will come with peace. Our duty is ta see that men best qualified to grapple with these great' questions are elected. My best endorsement, to which I shall always point with pride, is the result in ward one in the City of Spartanburg, in which my opponent and I both live, viz: Bomar 210, Nichols 200, Traxler 60. One thing more: The two weeks between the First and Second Primaries are noted for the production of campaign lies. If you will only recall what my opponent has stated time and again on the stump, namely: "The only thing I have against Horace Bomar is he wants my job," you will have no trouble in dismissing as untrue any such manufactured tales as may ema nate from some of his over-zealous supporters.
