D. ALDERSON, Alexandria, La., in Manufacturers Record.) The present work of the Red Cross represents the supreme test of man s love for man. To me, the Red Cross work is the epitome of personal service, in the response to this appeal the souls of America will be laid bare. This is the great instrumen? tality lor the relief of pain and death. It is the Goddess of Mercy, ministering unselfishly to a torn ami bleeding world. The antithesis of this is the military clique of Germany, head? ed by Wilhelm the Murderer. Wort 1 able to draw a picture of the Kaiser, concisely portray? ing his individuality, it would b. a Demon marching through Europe, the brund of Cain ?n his ;orehead, the breath of Hell in his nostrils; in one hand a blody sword held on high, and in the other the heart of a child. This bloodhound is running ram? pant over Europe, the smirch of damnation on his soul, and with murder his fell purpose, lie is committed to his mad orgy, and the protest of all civilization has not stayed or altered his purpose. We, therefore, have the choice of actively supporting the Red Cross in its humane efforts, or, by our Indifference, contributing to the success of the Kaiser's work. The one is gloriously constructive, the other infamously de? structive. Your response will show Which you prefer. (?n August 2 1776, Thomas Jefferson and his colleagues signed the Declaration of Independence, guaranteeing to the people 'of this great country freedom of thought and action. On April 0, IUI7, Woodrow Wilson signed a similar declaration of independ? ence for the whole civilized world. America signed solidly with him. Carlyle said, and this has been accepted by all democ? racies, that the rule of the majority is the fundamental principle of civic liberty. Practically the Whole world has joined hands In this holy warfare to prevent the prostitution of liberty and the institution of the rule of the sword. The Kaiser maintains that "n ight is right," and proposes to enforce his perverted ideas by a rule of ruin and a reign of ter? ror. Christ said: "Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit shall the World be ruled." History repeats Itself. Attila the Hun ran wild on a murderous assault on Europe, and went the way of the sons of Hell. The Kaiser will go the same way. Might Is not right anl the rule of ruin shall not prevail. Every man is his brother's keeper. If there Is a Hod In Heaven, the Germans cannot win. Rut God works through man as a free moral agent. He ex? pects us to do our part, and SVOry man, woman and child will be held to account, In the final judgment, for what he or she has done to help preserve civilization and to assist in the triumph of Christianity over Atheism. German writers and thinkers, notably Kant, Trietschc and Schopenhauer, have for years been propa? gating Atheism under the guise of science, in an attempt to jus? tify their infamous and murderous personal and national in? stinct, because it could not be made to conform to the charitable and humane teachings of the M; n of Galilee. Hypocritical and rapacious by nature, Germany lulled the World to sleep with the melodious strains of Hecthoven, Mendels? sohn and Handel, and the rhetorical cadences of Von Bethtnnn II oll weg and Kuchlmann, and woke it to a sudden realization of her Infamous intent, with the diabolical "song of hate." The true nature gained the ascendency in the crucial test?and this is what we light today, ? Shall we who cannot fight and who remain safely removed from the field of carnage fad to do our smull part? Shall we sell our manhood, our honor, yea, our very souls, for a few paltry dollars? A Red Cross slacker is a moral as well as a civic slacker, and we may be well assured tint upon the head of every individual who falls in his duty in this war?fails to support our gallant lighting forces, and fails to contribute to the succor, comfort ami treatment of our bleeding and dying sons?upon the head of every such one the judgment of Almighty God will be visited. This war is a Holy war, and. in all the hlstorj of the ages, is the supreme test of our moral stamina ami of human integrity. With the love of humanity, With the love of country, with the love of home, let us therefore be inspired to lay aside all selllsh considerations and sacrifice to any extent to give to this cause. Det us wash our souls of all m If-reproach before it Is too l ite. If honor is to survive dishonor. if morality IS to prevail over Immorality, if civilization and the pursuit of happiness are not to be supplanted by barbariMn and rapine; if integrity, and not murder and outrage. Is to be the standard of manhood?then we must, Individually, do our duty in carrying on the war. To this task we have been appointed to this issue we should address every ounce of our strength and determination. The necessary money for Other war won; can be provided by taxation and bonds, but the support of the Red Cross work de? pends not upon our industrial or constructive potentialities, but ! upon that higher and hotter part of our nature?the heart and soul of man. We cannot, WE WILL NOT, as Americans, stand idly by as ou?* ggllant men are led to the slaughter, and bear the reproach of their cries for aid and comfort. The cull of pain and suffering from the darkness of No Man's Land shall bo answered. We MI ST do our duty to the Red Cross, and D< I IT NOW. The Dental Clinic.

Mayor Jennings < olle?-ting Informa lion on Cost of Lithium Bjgff At a regular meeting of City Coun- | cil held May 14th there were present Mayor Jennings and Couneilmen Rowland and Booth. The minutes of April 23rd, May 2nd and May 6th were read and ap? proved. The police report for the month of April was read and ordered filed. This report showed the following: N urn her of arrests, 59. Convict days, 140. Cash hues, $369.25. Total cash and equivalent, $397.25. A letter was received from P. B. Noyes, Director of Conservation, U. S. Fuel Administration advising the turning on of lights late and the cut? ting off early, the adoption of a moonlight schedule for street light? ing and the modification possibly of existing contract requirements as a means toward fuel conservation. The matter was held over and the clerk was directed to write Manager Mo? ses of the Sumter Lighting Company I telling him that such a communica? tion had been received and was be? ing considered by Council and asking him to confer with council to the most effective ways of putting such recommendations in force. Mayor Jennings presented letters received from electrical engineers in answer to letters he had written ask? ing for their prices and terms for furnishing the city with a complete estimate of the cost of an electric lighting plant for furnshing street and domestic lighting and power. The matter was held open pending further correspondence by Council? man Rowland with Engineer White of Durham, N. C. The clerk in the meantime, at the suggestion of Mr. B, E. Austin of the local gas company, was directed to write the United Gas ind Electric Engineering Corpora? tion of 61 Broadway, New York and ?et their prices on the work. Manager Austin of the, Sumter las and Power Company appeared before council relative to the service charge of twenty-five cents per month which his company had put on in December last. He showed coun? cil that with the exception of one nonth the receipts of his company had never met the operating ex? penses of the plant and that noth ng had ever been paid in the way of ilvtdends or interest on bonded in lebtedness. After giving the facts nil consideration council agreed to iHow this service charge to be con? tinued for the present and until con litions relative to the high cost of ma? terial and labor entering into the cost Of gas improved. Manager Austin tdmitted that his company had no right under its franchise to make this charge and council granted the concession with the express provis? ion that none of the rights of the contracting parties under the fran hise would be affected thereby. Council again took up the mattet of gasoline supply stations on Main droet. Councilman Rowland stated that he wished to change his former vote and cut out all of these stations on Main street from Hampton Ave? nue on the north to Caldwoll street on the east side of Main street and Dugan street on the west side of Main Street on the South. Councilman Booth concurred in this and it was so ordered. The mayor reiterated his former position, voting to allow Du Rant Hardware Company to install i station or if this were not done toj cut out all 'on Main street from Ca? nal Street to Bartlett Street. Manager Shuler reported adversely on a petition for a street light at the corner of Bartlett street and Walker .\ venue. Council continued its inspection of the license returns made by parties ind firms for the year 1918 and in a number of instances directed the Clerk to call on the parties concerned for more detinite returns.
