KELTON Kelton, Feb. 12.?It seems very probable just now that our country i will be drawn into the present great 1 war. I do hope that she will not on * account of the great loss of life, prop- i erty and suffering untold. If she does instead of peace, almost every country 1 will be practically drawn into it either i on one side or the other. If not actually engaged they will be sympathet- s ically. This great war has brought i about conditions unthought of 50 years ago. International laws have < been made more for the small nations < than larger ones by patriotic statesmen., so that the small or weak ones f could have a fair showing in the bus- s iness world with big ones just as the Sherman law of this country was to ? Vlftlrl /^Awn Klrr oAt?nA??nf '??? ? ( VIM v*vr ??1I Vif, vvipviatiuuo anu vc > the small ones a chance to live. But the big dogs got to fighting and it ? looks like all international laws are c being trampled under foot by either 3 one side or the other. When President Wilson sent his peace note to the war- o ring nations and England refused to hear to a conference or negotiations J for terms of settlement of this great- 0 est of wars and Germany agreed to t them the shedding of all the blood af- o ter fell upon the head of England. If 3 Germany had been the cause of all the 8 bloodshed and suffering before that she was no more to blame unless Ger- I many finally refused to agree to reas- to onable and righteous terms of peace. v Let us see the history of our own country over 50 years ago. In Jan- I uary, 1865, there was a move on foot 3 V.. u. B~.?*? o_ a. _ . ? kij ii 11. l- lantis i . uMuir, or., xo xry < to end that cruel war, so he went t. * work and both presidents, Lincoln and Davis, apreed to have a conference. Davis named three, Alexander H. Stevens, Senator Robt. M. T. Hunter ? and Assistant Secretary of State Jno. A. Campbell, as his commissioners uninstructed. What did the great Lincoln do??named W. H. Serbard, his secretary of state, full instructions that he would not countenance 8 any propositions, only for the South to s lay down her arms, free her slaves and po back into the Union. What ? could be done by President Davis? / Only to fipht to the finish. And what was the report that went from this a conference. It was that Lincoln said. "Let me write Union on a scrip of c paper and the South can fill in the re- a mainder of terms for peace." Now. v readers, is there any reason to such 0 lanpuape? So read the facts in his- f tory. This all took place in February. , 1865. I heard an old Confederate Vet- ? eran a few months apo say that when this conference ended that the news v was circulated down the trenches at 8 Petersburg that Lincoln had offered n to pay a fair price for the slaves and . free them and Jeff Davis refused the terms and that some who had been pood soldiers before laid down their arms and went across the line. Now back to Germany. If Germany y -apreed to Wilson's peace note I, for one, gay that I would use my greatest ? weapon 10 gain ine victory and think that she had a just right to warn all a neutrals what she was going to do. If ^ the whole world was against her. The ^world has made enough money out of , this great European war already, so ' let them stand still and see those fighting nations fight to the finish. Talk about humanity. What is Eng- ? land doing? She has a blockade on c Germany and for what? To perish p Tier soldiers, old men, women and p children. Which is the worst, for a n warring nation to do, warn all other neutral nations that she will destroy lives and property without further 1? xa.imiK wiicn tut? nations can prevent it or build a wall around their enemies, f as the case may be, and starve them all out, old men, women and children. S when thev can't help themselves without sacrificing their nation's principal, as we had to do in 1865. My readers, be your own judge. Individuals and 2 nations will be much profitted if they o will study the sermon on the mount b and heed its teachings. How many of v us when an enemy smites one on one G cheek turn the other also? No, we t< return the first blow. If Christ would t< have one treat his enemy thus why fi does it not apply to a nation? No, you would hear the money lover rather than the liberty lover say that nation has backed down and is a cow- 3' ardly one. Dear readers, I got my satisfaction of war in the sixties. Sher- f man gave a good definition of war. ! I fear that the oat crop is a total | loss in this community. 8 G. T.

Tampa, Fla., Feb. 12.?Since my last writing: have taken in all the week of Gasparilla and Tampa's big fair. The attendance to it has been 52,000 people. The weather now in the land of flowers is fine. Everybody was glad to see it turn v^arm, as the cold spell went hard with the Florida folks. I notice in The Times that the weather has been rough and I realize I left for Florida in a good time. The sun shines now here as warm as it docs up there in April or May, so you know it is ideal. Each day of last week was a splendid program and attractive parades. Just wish you South Carolinians could have seen the land of Gasparilla shin and crew. Just as the ship came in the band played and on this decorated ship were all kinds of dancing. This is a time when everybody ii Tampa has a jolly time and everyiLl :- n?J J*-- ? - minx is nxeu ior me enjoyment ot the people and, too, Tampa extended a welcome to all visitors and there is certainly a number of them here now. A big time was at the fair grounds last night; had beautiful display of fireworks, and masked dancing. In spite of cool weather and some rain everything was taken out. The exhibits of fair was fine and pretty; the fruit made such a pretty display with growing trees and plants, looked so different from our fairs. A certain county had their booth spelled in grapefruit. Washington county of Florida won first premium. There vere other attractive things there to be seen. I can't begin to tell j'ust everything of interest that I saw at the fair! The floats of Friday were especially attractive, representing many of the leading commercial houses of the city. The Tampa light rifles added a touch of life to the parade as they marched along in their bright uniforms with the quick snappy carriage of real soldiers. Polar bear sitting contentedly on a great block of ice inside a cage, represented the products of the consumers' ice company. There were numbers of others very attractive. The last parade of Gasparilla was witnessed this afternoon by a large number of people, which was the Shriners' parade and must say was real attractive. They had all kinds of amusements which was enj'oyed more than other ones. The Shriners seem to enjoy themselves. There were Shriners here from different States for this event. Was out sightseeing Sunday afternoon a few miles out in the country from Tampa. Went out to the big spring known as Sulphur Spring. It surely is some spring in size. People from everywhere come to this place for health, but must say the taste of this water is the same as taking medicine, as it has a taste of sulphur and salt mixed and can imigine how it really tastes. All kinds of animals and fish are to be seen at this place. As the writer has been busy taking in this event will see more of Tampa to tell you next time. Vero. HONOR ROLL OF GAULT SCHOOL.

Says Mrs. Smalley. as She Told of Overcoming Her Suffering. "Tanlac gave me back my health after I had suffered so much for several years, and it is the best medicine I ever took for the troubles I had," declared Mrs. Nancy Smalley. of 21 Seth St., Greenville, in a statement she gave in endorsement of Tanlac. Continuing, Mrs. Smalley said: "I suffered from a bad form of liver trouble and general weakness. I was troubled a lot with a dizzy, staggei-ing feeling and my appetite was almost gone. My nerves had gone to pieces and I was miserable with nervousness almost all the time. My liver was the cause of all the sickness I had during the past several years, and I felt badly most of the time. <<ivr.T ?:? i?j i " ? vvinpicAiuii nau uecu'iie yenow my tongue was coated and my breath was bad, and I had 'that lazy feeling' all the time. Really I never did feel well, but I was weak and tired and worn out continually. My food did not digest well and my meals felt like a brick in my stomach, and it seemed that they nourished me little or none at all. "I had heard a lot about the great relief Tanlac was giving peoole in 'Greenville and I bought a bottle. T gained eight pounds as a result of taking the Tanlac, and now I am in goo'1 health and I am not troubled with any of those ailments I had. That is what Tanlac did for me. It banished mv troubles. The Tanlac gave me a fine aDpetite, cleared up my skin, the coating left mv tongue and I was soon free of indigestion. "I had only to take one bottle of Tanlac to get my system in good shape, even if I had had these troubles several years, and I took that bottle about three months ago. And since T took the Tanlac, I have been in better health than I have for sev eral years. I, can't say too much ir praise of Tanlac, for it was a wonderful medicine for troubles like ' had."
