Passing a Crisis.
The American people have never ;
been more sure of themselves than
now as they watch developments in j
our present crisis with Germany, j
Everywhere in America citizens of
every sort, public officials, men eminent
in business and professions,
even the nation's most incorrigible
partisans, are proving from hour to
hour that they touch shoulders as
they face a national crisis and a
national duty.
No true American citizen should
lend himself to the utterance of remarks,
even in joke, that will tend
to create undue fear among our
people at this time. This was the
case in the spring of 1898 during
Spanish-American war, most brought
about by the American press, or
that part of it that leans entirely to
the sensational, regardless of facts
or actual conditions. Don't pin too
much faith in the daily press reports
from Europe and Washington regarding
the crisis. Only such information
as is given out by the
State department at Washington
should be taken as a true 9tory of
what is taking place between the
two governments and what will
probably follow.
Self-respecting Americans, women
as well as men, are ready to meet
whatever has has to be met fearlessly
and with their eyes open. But
there can be no good in bending an
ear to timorous gossips or shuddering
at possible conspiracy and treason
every time we see a sensational
headline in a newspaper. At worst
America has little to fear at the
hands of Germahy should the present
breach be widened into a declaration
of actual hostilities. A cool
head and a still tongue should predominate
in every patriotic American
at this time.
It looks now very muck like this
town is going to have a canning factory.
Citizens of the community
want it and are willing to back the
project with their money. We
thought as much, once the matter
was put squarely up to them.
Certainly one of, if not, the most
commendable acts of the General
Assembly during the present session
was that appropriating $60,000 for
an institution for the feeble minded.
We are afraid, however, that the
amount appropriated is too small.
The announcement of Jno L McLaurin
several days ago that he expected
to run for Governor in 1918
did not create any great sensation
in political circles. John L has always
been running for something
or another, but he'll have to run
harder than he ever has before to
reach the goal he now covets.
'One of the worst menaces to public
roads in this county is the thoghtless
or careless ploughman who runs
his plow persistently into the public
road when he reaches the end of his
furrow in the field or in going to
and from the field and allowing his
plow to furrow into the roadbed. This
fellow is not a new offender by any j
means. We hear of his worK every ;
season, but judging from the text I
warning published in this paper, of
the over the signatures of Super- J
visor Hammet and Road Engineer j
Jenkins, they intend to put a stop
to the nuisance. And it should be j
stopped for ordinarily, our public
roads are none too good and most j
certainly the depredations of these
wreckless ploughmen do not improve
them. There is a statute
against the menace and it should
be rigidly applied to each and;
every violator, 1

AUSTRIAN^ SINK
AMERICAN SCHOONER |
CONTZUNEU DISREGARD OF AM
ERICAN RIGHTS MAY FORCE THE
PRESIDENT BEFORE CONGRESS.
Washington, February 14:?The
steady accumulations of violations
of American rights by Germany
made it appear possible today that
President Wilson would go before
Congress to ask autority for further
protectihg lives agd property without
waiting for a serious disaster,
which might shock the country.
There were no indications, however,
that he believed the time for such a
step had come, and it again was
stated authoritatively that he would
move deliberately and with full ap-,
preciation of all the consequences'
involved.
Official reports of the sinking of
the American schooner Lyman M
. __
Law, in the Mediterranean ov an i
Austrian submarine added only j
slightly to the tension, for while the
act is believed to have been illegal,!
no lives were lost and the vessel ap- j
parently was warned. The incident i
was not looked upon as one in itself !
sufficient to hurry the development
of the situation.
Preliminary reports began coming
to government departments j
showing the piling up along the At-'
lantic seaboard of goods destined
for export to European ports. No
serious effect from this condition
will be felt, however, until lapse of
sufficient time for ships remaining
in American ports to have gone to
Europe and returned. While only
approximately 10 per cent of American
commerce with Europe is carried
on American ships, the sailings
of vessels of other nationalities in
many instances have either been j
cancelled or postponed, and, there-1
fore, the results of the ruthless submarine
campaign in time will result
in far reaching disturbance of the
industrial life or the United States.
Preparations by the government
for any eventuality are still going:
forward. Much importance is attached
to the work of the Council of j
National Defense, which is holding I
daily sessions to learn at first hand i
from Americans of experience what'
provisions must be made to coordi- j
nate American resources. E S Stet- {
tinius, of J P Morgan & Co, of New
York, was again before the council
today, furnishing information gain-1
ed from experience as head of his |
firm's huge transactions in war or-:
ders for the entente allies.
CANNING CLUB GIRLS
Given Advice by County Demon*
stratlon Agent.
To Canning Club Members:
Since the weather continues uncertain,
in order to get early plants
it would be advisable to plant tomato
seed in a box. An ordinary
soap or soda box should be used.!
Fill the box with soil to within three;
inches of top, pack down well. This
soil should not be as fertile as the
field in which the plants are to be;
grown, as in this case the plants
would receive a bacKset, being transplanted
from rich to poor soil. Mark
off rows three or four inches apart!
and half inch deep, drilling: the seed
an inch apart in the row, then cover
and firm the soil well. For rapid
germination place seed in glass and 1
soak overnight in water or sweet
milk. Place in southern exposure
keeping soil damp, but not too wet,
and at night take in box for protection.
Ptanting in drill obviates the
necessity of transplanting to secure
stocky plants. When plants reach
the height of three or four inches
