PRESIDENT WILSON ADDRESSES CONGRESS (Continued from pajre three) in our courts of justice that the intrigues which have more than once come perilously near to distuihin); the peace and dislocating the industries of the country have been carried on at the instigation, with the support ami even under personal direction of official agents of the imperial government accredited to the government of the United States. "Even in checking these things and trying to extirpate them we have sought to put the most generous interpretation possible upon them because we knew that their source lay not in any hostile feeling or purpose of the German people towards us (who were, no doubt, as ignorant of them as we ourselves were), hut only in the selfish designs of government that did what it pleaded and told its people nothing. Itut they have played their part in serving to convince us at leas' that that government entertains no real friendship for us and means to act against our peace and security at its convenience. That means to stir tip enemies against us at our very doors the intercepted note to the German minister at Mexico City is elo quert evidence. Must Accept Challenge. "We are accepting this challenge of hostile purpose because we know that in such a government, following such methods, we can never have a friend; and that in the presence of it organized power, always lying in wait to accomplish we know now what purpose. there can be no assured security for the democratic governments of the world. "We are now about to accept gage of battle with this natural foe to liberty and shall, if necessary, spend the whole force of the nation to check and nullify its pretensions and its powers. We are glad now that we see the facts with no veil of false pretense ahout them, to fight thus for the ultimate peace of the world and for the liberation of its peoples, the fin-man people included: for the rights of cations great and small and the privilege of men everywhere to chon o their wov of life and of obedience. Th world must he made safe for democracy. Its neacc must he planted upon the trusted foundations of political libor+v "Wo have no selfish ends to servo. Wo desire no conquest, no dominion. Wo seek no indemnities for ourselves, no material compensation for tlio sacrifices we shall freely make. We are but one of the champions of the rights of mankind. We shall be satisled when those rights have been as secure as the faith and the freedom of the nations can make them. "Just because we fight without rancor and without selfish objects, seeking nothing for ourselves but what wo shall wish to share with all free peoples, we shall. T feel confident. conduct our operations as belligerents without passion and ourselves observe with proud punctilio the principles of right and of fair play we profess to be fighting for. Not Against Austria. "I have said nothing of the governments allied with the imperial gov- j ernment of Germany because thov] have not made war upon us or dial-1 lenged us to defend our rights and our honor. The Austro-flungarian i government has indeed avowed its unqualified indorsement and acceptance of the reckless and lawless uhm.irinv warfare adopted now without disguise bv the imnorbit f'.nntmi < and it lias therefore not been ?.o>sihh ! for this government to receive (' mot Tarnowski, the ambassador recently accredited to this j'overnnn r.f hy the imperial and royal irovernmcnt of.

We shall, happily, still have an opportunity to prove that friendshin in our daily attitudes and actions towards the millions of men and women of Herman hirth and native sympathy who live amonrst us ar-.i sr.j.re our life and we shall ho proud to prove it towards all who are m fnet loyal to their neighbors and to the government in the hour of '?* ,(.

They will he prompt to stand with us in robukinp and restraining the few who may he of a different mind and purpose. Can Meet the Traitors. i "If there should be disloyalty it will be dealt with with a firm hand of stern repression; but if it lifts its head at all it will lift it only her?? and there and without countenance except from a lawless and malignant few. "It is a distressing and oppressive duty, gentlemen of the congress, which I have performed in thus addressing you. There are, it may be many months of fiery trial and sacrifice ahead of us. It is a fearful thing to lead this great peaceful people into war, into the most terrible and disastrous of all wars, civilization itself seeming to be in the balance. I?ut the right is more precious than peace and we shall fight for the things which we have always carried nearest our hearts?for democracy, for the right of those who submit to authority to have a voice in their own governments, for the rights and liberties of small nations, for a universal dominion of right by such a concert of free peoples as shall bring peace and safety o all nations and make the world itself at last free. To such a task we can dedicate our lives and our fortunes, everything that we are and everything that we have, with the pride of those we know that the day has come when America is privileged to spend her blood and her might for the principles that gave her birth and happiness and the peace which she has treasured. God helping her, she can do no other." KELTON Kelton, April 28.?I was at Union today and attended the U. C. V. meeting. There were 21 or 22 of the old Vets present. The same officers were reelected and the following members were elected delegates to the State reunion which convenes at Chester the 24th and 25th inst.: M. 11. Lee, A. G. Bentley and J. G. Long; for general reunion to meet in the city of Washington June 1th: C. S. Greer, Daniel Inman, M. B. I.ee; alternates, J. M. Greer. G. T. Gault and J. G. Long. Miss Berniee Orr was chosen sponsor to the State reunion and Miss Florence Haney to the jreneral reunion. We had a harmonious meeting and our numher is erowiiur less every year and before many years the last one of the Civil war hoys will he irone. The word ! 'In-'" is a very sad word to me. i The farmers are putting in full time j since the land irot dry enouirh to plow. Recently while in Union I met one o? ] my (rood friends and he said he was (with me on W. J. Ilryan. Yes, when he studies my views on all 1 have said jHO years or more as I have he will laprree with me on the mall. There are two things T have (rotten my satisJfaction of at one trial: one of them j I (rot drunk to see how I would feel. ! was just after the Civil war was over. . The next day. oh, how sick I was. 1 , wish it would make every one that 1 frets drunk as sick as I was. 1 rrot to Imy hrotifers and that was the last I remember. I did not know how I (rot | to my father's. I had lost my hat and what little sense I had. The next day I thouprht I was proinpr to die. My old (rrandmother lived with him. She just laughed at me. She had seen others in the same fix. I thouprht it was no time for lauprhinpr. It was no use to send for a doctor for my stomach would not take any medicine and I must die. The other was forty years ncn. T votorl frir rnilrnad l>r>nrlk! t? 1 uild a railroad in Spartanburg coun- I ty and North Carolina and we are pay- | ing taxes on them yet. On both of these propositions I was thoroughly converted and I never have backs]iden. 1 T was in town last Saturday when 1 the sad news flashed over the phones and on the streets that Dr. Under had died very suddenly. Dr. Under was) held in high esteem as an honorable man and a wise physician, lie will be ml < d in the city of Union and Union < in!'' How uncertain is life and how . ore is death. Another warning to us 1 all to ho ready when the end conies. J A great deal of fertilizers are be- . in?r hauled <>ut from Kelly.-. Some say x they are going to use te ntons <>f high Vi grade guano and a ton of soda to the ( mule, the most of it to make cotton Well, I have argued all along to raise i more foo l stulT. I have half wvy ? changed. They say the present war h will not end until one side or the oth?r i. perished nu! so the quicker tho I?oitor, hut T advise all tho farmers to raise enouirh for themselves. I want all of those good patriotic big-talking fellows first volunteer and then sav to the ones who don't care a straw ahout going say. "Come ahead hoys," instead of "Go ahead, hoys." I heard a man say recently that the government wanted the names of all white and colored men who were idle or loafing. They would he the first ordered to arms. Tie said he had sent several names. Well, when they tret them they will he like the man's horse he was trading. He told the buyer there were two objectionable traits the horse had and one he told before he traded and tho other after. The buyer wanted to know the first. II" said. "When he got loose you could hardl\ catch it." "Oh. well," said the buyer. i (inn i i-HiM iiir mm, i ii j.r? i nun. So they trailed. "Now what is the other": "he isn't worth a <lurn when vou do catch him." Or they may he like the Western fanner who wanted help to gather his cotton. Some one told him if he could tret some monkeys they would pick as much as a man. so he trot some and tried them. Th" man saw him afterwards and asked him how his monkeys done he said they would pick as much as a man hut it took two men to keep one pickinc so that is the way with conscript soldiers when a cattle came off it would take two (food soldiers to keen them in line.
