Tho president's speech in full w a-i follows: "Gentlemen of the diplomatic oorpf and my fellow citlsens: "I urn happv If draw apart with you to this (|ulet ,,f 0|d counsel tn order to speak a little of the mean Ing of thin day of our nation's Inde? pendence. The place seems very still and remote. It is as sereni and on touched hy the hum Ol the world as It Was In thos< ,t days long ago When Heneral Washington was here and held leisurely conference with the men who were to he associated with him in the creation of a nation, fossa theee gentle slopes they looked out upon the WOrM and saw it whole. Stw It With the light ol the future upon it. saw it with modern syes thai turn? ed away from a past which men of i berated spirits could no longer en dOre. It is for that reason that we cannot feel, even here In the imtne. ? te presence of this sacred tomb, t this Is a place ol death. It was a place ol achtevemontfl, A gre promts* that was meant for all man? kind was hi re given plan and I Polity, Th? associations by which we are here ggeYOSjnded ire the Inspiriting asso? ciations ot thai noble death which Is only a glorious consummation. From this green hillside we also ought to be aid* to see with Comprehending eyes the world that lies about us and should conceive anew the purposes that must set men free. "It Is significant?significant Of th?ir own character and purpose and O* the Influences the) were setting OfooC?that Washington and his asso? ciates, like the barons at Runin no de, j spoke and acted, not for a ( lass, but for a people. It has been left for us to s?# to It that It shall be understood that they spoke and acted, not for a single people onl\. but for nil man? kind They were thinking, not of themselves or of the material Inter OOts which centered in the little groups of landholders arid merchants snd men of affairs with whom they Were aei Oatomed to act in Virginia Ond the colonies (i) tb< north ami SOUth of her. but of a | SOplC Which *?fchrd to he done with classes and special Interests and the authority of men whom they had not themselves Of!osen to rule over them. They en? tertained no private purpose, desired no peculiar privilege. Thev were consciously planning that men of ev? ery class should be free and America a place to which* men out of every ns tlon might resort who wished to ghafe with them the rights and privileges of fee men. And we take our cue from them,?do we not? We Intend what thev intended. We here In America believe nur participation in this pres ent war to be only the fruitage ot What the\ planted. our case differs from theln only In this, that it Is our Im -.t in i?.|e |.i l\ il, re t.in ert with men out of every nation what shall make not enrj the liberties ol Amer? ica Secure but the liberties of eve other people as well. We are happy In the thought that we are permitted to do what tl lid have done and they been In our place. There must now be BSttied once for all wh: t was settled for America in the great age upon whose Inspiration we draw today.

The in creased consumption, and the decreas? ed sources, of our food productions conditions incident to tho war?give souse for Immediate efforts to stimu? late an Interest In such lahm- as have to deal With the food products of the farm. The desire Is tO help \ho farmer and the farm laborer to a realiza? tion of the grave duties which im? peratively rest upon them in uniting heir efforts as food producers for the future salvation of the nation and Itt tilled forces In thisjterrlble war. This Is the most crucial period of flu world's history and this nation, in; consideration of the gravity of the dtuatlon, is conserving Ita energies tnd directing its economic forces. In he plans for uniform industrial activ? ity there is no place for the idler. The die man is inimical to the SUCCOSS Ol lemocracy and a menace to the well "Hi" of our commonwealth.

The Bumter business establishments hould back up Moore Brothers, the new Bumter Tobacco Warehouse man? agers, by attending the daily tobaccc lies, or having representatives on the warehouse lioors, and boosting Ihe Bumter tobacco market.

'hnrlotto < Ibserver. it has been ascertained that about live pel cent of the United States army ami navy is represented by men drawn from the Jewish population ol , in- country, ami m this connection the important point mu-l be borne in iilind that tins population llgures Ion three per cent of the white of tin 'tilled states. This Indicates an ad mlrablo spirit of loyalty and patriot an <>n tin' part of Jewish race. When ,i people representing- so small per rcntuge of a country's population can furnish so great a quota of moil to Its lirmy ami navy, that people i deserving ol tin* greuti bI degree o consideration.
