BLEASE AT FILBERT PICNIC. Makes Attack on President Wilson?Says He Has Dog in Him. *'These Congressmen here have been telling you what to do about cotton and the like, and it all sounds very well maybe; but it seems to me that you might very well ask them why they don't do a little something, for if they have every done anything worth while I have not heard of it, (Applause). "It is all right to talk about]Government controlled warehouses. I signed the bill creating the State warehouse system because I believed it was a good thing; but let's not have any Federal control if we can help it. We have a so-called Democratic Government at Washington now; but we have no guarantee as to how long the Federal Government is going to be friendly to the South, and how would we feel with a Federal warehouse system under the management of a nigger warehouseman and nigger graders? "I always knew that Wilson had some kind of a dog in hitn; but until Mr Lever gave us that description a while ago, I did not know it was 'bull.' I guess Mr Lever is about right about it. "If America wants to get into war with anybody, she had better go after her real enemy, England, and let Germany alone. What have we got against Germany, anyhow? Germany did right when she sunk that boat. T , J I 1. :l T* 1 wouia nave sun*. iu ?1 mcj unu been coming after you with a load of* ammunition to kill you with, wouldn't you have sunk 'em? You bet you would. "I'll tell you one thing. If the United States gets into war with Germany, she will know that she has a war on her hands! You remember that, will you? "The Administration at Washington is not Democratic. It is not a Government of the people, and Wilson is no friend of the South. He is little more than an agent of England and a representative of the money interest of America, who does not do anything until after he gets instructions from J Pierpont Morgan. If he had any part of the Democracy of Thomas Jefferson in his make-up, he would say to England: 'Damn you, if you don't stop taking our cotton we will stop you!' "From the Yorkville Enquirer's report of the Filbert picnic. . RUSSIANS EVACUATE WARSAW. Make Orderly Retreat from Polish Capital. London, July 30:?The evacuation nf Warsaw and the entire Vistula line has been begun by the Russians, according to unofficial but reliable reports from Petrograd. The retirement is being carried out in perfect order, the Russians taking their artillery and great stores of munitions with them. The official announcement is expected as soon as the retreat has been successfully executed to the second line of defence, which extends from Kovno on the Niemen riVer through Grodno to Brestlitovsk on the Bug river. The retreat is attributed to the lack of ammunition. Later dispatches refute the above story, but it is still evident that the * Polish capitol is in imminent danger unless the Russians can supply its defenders with ammunition very soon. God Bless Our Dad. We happened into a home the other night, and over the parlor door saw the legend worked in letters of red, "What is Home Without a Mother?" Across the room was another brief, "God Bless Our Home." Now,what's the matter with "God Bless Our Dad?" He gets up early, lights the fire, boils an egg, and wipes the dew off the lawn with his 111? rrtoni? o liar ic clofin UWIS wuwc uiniiv a Iiiuuii.t iu inj?. He makes the weekly hand-out to the butch ?r, the milkman and the baker, and his little pile is badly demolished before he has been home an hour. If there is a noise in the night Dad is kicked in the back, made to go downstairs and find the burglar and kill him. Mother dams the socks but Dad bought the socks in the first place and the needles and the yarn afterwards. Mother does up the fruit. Dad bought it all and jars and sugar cost like the mischief. Dad buys the chicken for Sunday dinners, serves them himself and draws the neck from the ruins after everybody else is served. "What is Home Without a Mother?" Yes, that is all right, but "What is Home 1 Without a Father?" Ten chances tc one it is a boarding house; father is under a slab and the landlady is the widow. Dad,here's to you! You've got your faults, you may have lots of them, but you are all right and we will miss you when you are gone.?Exchange. Tommy Grice, a negro of Florence, was electrocuted at the State penitentiary in Columbia yesterday for assault. He is said to have confessed to the crime. 1 | OUR PUBL1 VII.?Hon.
