The atrocities perpetrated by the S1
German soldiers apainst the Belpian n
women and children and apainst the ^
women and children of France are so a
repulsive that one cannot think upon n'
the subject without dispust, loathinp. s<
And these same atrocities will come
to the fore whon Germany must 01
stand before the bar of future judg- v<
meat. Nothing excuses, nothing pa- 'e
tiates the damnable conduct of these ni
barbarians. P

Several times we have called attcn- S>
tion to the fact that Union merchants 01
have sold and are continuing to sell ei
goads at remarkable low price, considering
the heavy advance on all mer- W
chendise. The fact is, Union mer- S<
' l
chants have not taken the profits they
might have taken, if they had been (^'
disposed to grasp all they possibly
comld. Dry goods, shoes, clothing and (1'
heavy and fancy groceries are selling (''
today in Union at less than our mer- s<
chants would have to pay to replen:-1

The account of the ferial and conviction
of a man in a neighboring city ai
upon the charge of bigamy recently tc
appeared in print. If we remember /
aright, the man was turned loose bi
upon his promise t? get out of the ?*
State in a specified time. He was
alleged to have had a wife and sev- w
eral children somewhere in Georgia. c<
C(
It ia presumed that he will go t? his p)
amily in our sister State. But how J
bout the wife number two? ' The
lan should have been sent to the
haingang and made to suffer for his ?
erfidy. There is entirely too much
axity in the enforcement of the laws
gainst this crime. It should be made
farm for these debased individuals. ^
i ?o
The movement to' raise in Union *
ounty six thousand dollars for the
led Cross work should appeal with s
orce to all our citizens. It is a work ^
f mercy, one that nobody can afford a
o neglect. Let every man, woman p
nd child in the county help a little
nd this humane work, so far as Un- u
jn county is concerned, will be done.
Vith our some twenty-nine thousand 0
y
^habitants it should be no difficult q
ask to raise the six thousand. Twen- ii
y-five cents per capita would total ?
hat sum. It is probable, more than j
robable, that some of our own boys, a
oon to be fighting in the great war, ?
rill be in need of the very service that
his money will go to secure. Do your a
art, and do it ungrudgingly.
I
The German kaiser and the German 1
eople pray fervently that the God of ^
eaven will give victory to the Ger- s
lan armies. In this country many f
re praying just as fervently that the ^
ide of battle will go against the t
ierman armies. This seems to trou- n
le some people, but it should not be t
cause for serious worry. "Ye ask
nd receive not because ye ask amiss," *
aid the Great Teacher. Which is ^
nother way of saying that there is a f
ight and a wrong way to pray,
'rayer, according to the teaching of
esus, must have in it more than mere s
esire; it must be clothed in the spirit p
f submission. Here is the trouble p
rith war prayers?they are prone to s
xpress self-will, greed, selfishness, f
[ence they can find no response in the r
'ill of heaven.

s
Union county came up well to the n
lark in the matter of registering p
uesday of last week, and it is ?
worthy thing that it thus j]
ranspires. The grim war that (
i now to us a reality, not a ^
lere possibility, is brought closer a
ome to us. There is no boastful
pirit manifesting itself in this move- ^
lent. It is a solemn and trying time i
lat confronts us. We had rather be ?
t peace, prefer that there should be Q
o war. We are not allowing our- j|
?lves to be blinded with the mere t<
appinps of war to the really stern, ^
-uel and friphtful facts that are in- a'
nlved. But we are men?free, fear- v
cr
iss and patriotic. If our country
eeds our money, we are willing to 2
lac? our treasures upon the altar.
ri
' our country needs eur service, this ?
icrifice vre are willing t>o make. If e
Lir country needs our lives, we make
/en that supreme sacrifice. But it is
uly a prim business, is this thinp of
ar. It is a time that will try the
yuls of men to the very uttermost. r<
e
et us pray that it may be of short n
uration, and that the clouds now so e
ark will pive place t? a briphter a
V
ay. In the meantime, let us as men ^
a our duty, whether it be that we si
jrve at home or on the battle front.

WOULD FURTHER PROHIBIT. u
A new hill to conserve food suplies,
which would prohibit their manfacture
during the war into intoxiiting
beverages, both distilled spirits
ad malt liquors, was ordered reported sj
day by the senate agriculture com- a
littee. w
Another provision of the proposed a
ill, which Senator Gore of Oklahoma, I
lairman, was authorized by an over- c<
helming authority to requisition n
(isting supplies of distilled spirits a
hen he should deem it necessary to 1}
mserve food supplies or to secure al- h

?T"
lust Face Penal Provisions of Law
as to Registration?Governors
Called Upon to See That Law
is Carried Out.
The period of leniency ended Tuesday
night for men between the ages
f 21 and 30, inclusive, who failed to
egister for the war army last Tueslay.
Provost Marshal Gen. Crowder
ent to the governors of all the States
. message asking that "to inaugurate
rom tomorrow a vigorous, aggressive
,nd effective enforcement of the
tenal clause of the selective service
aw against all who have, by their
ailure to register, brought thempelves
inder the provisions."
The penalty for failure to register
m June 5 is imprisonment for a
ear and enforced registration, but
len. Crowder immediately after registration
day, recommended the local
ioards provide further opportunity
or delinquents. The department of
ustice today notified United States
ttorneys to release those already areSted
for failure to register providng
they have now registered.
Gen. Crowder has nearly completed
, daft of regulations to govern exmptions
and exemption boards, and
xpects to lay it before Secretary
laker in a few days for approval,
"he general believes no class should
e exempted as such, but that local
oards should decide on the circumtances
in each individual case. He
avors use of some device such as a
ury wheel for drawing the names of
hose to be examined by the exempion
boards. The regulations will be
nade public in detail after Secretary
laker and President Wilson approve
hem.
A few more States reported regiaration
totals to the provost marshal
;eneral's office today but indication^
irere that all would not be completed
or nearly a week.
Gen. Crowder's message to goverors
said:
"Quotas are to be assigned to the
everal States in proportion to the
opulation as determined by the bueau
of the census and not in proortion
to the registration. The reult
is that everv nprsnn rntiA Vioo I
ailed to register is seriously increasing
the burden of those who have
egistered.
"It is requested that every effort be
ow made to detect and arrest perons
subject to registration who have
ot registered and to bring each
romptly to the attention of the nearst
representative of the department
f justice. Care should be taken that
he lists prescribed in paragraph
men registered) are promptly posted
nd all registrants should be asked to
ssist in bringing non-registrants to
ttention of the police."
Among States reporting so far Ohio
tands first in the proportion of regisration
to the census estimate with
13 per cent. Washington is the lowst
State with 50.9 per cent.
When the provost marshal general's
ffice closed tonight 33 States had sent
i complete returns. They showed a
5tal registration of 6,358,388, comared
to census allotments totaling
,063,482. The returns during the day
bout kept up the percentage of preious
reports and predictions as to the
rand total that would be shown by j
11 the States?from 9.000.000 to 0-1
50,000.
In the 33 States reporting tha white
egistrations were 4,817,980, colored
30,580, aliens 482,439, and alien
nemies 58,304. The possible exempions
indicated were 3,439,527.
BAD HUSBANDS.
Among the thousands of letters
eaching the provost marshal genral's
office these days from wivea,
lothers and sweethearts asking exmption
for their men, officials were
mused today to find several from
rives recommending that their husands
be conscripted. One woman
aid her husband did not want
> war, but had no good reason for
ot going, and "tipped" the war deartment
that it would be just as well
> make a soldier of him.
U-BOAT REPORTED SUNK.
An Atlantic Port, June 13.?Detraction
of a German submarine by
n American armed merchantman
ras reported by the vessel upon her
rrival today in an American harbor,
ler officers refused to discuss the enounter
except to say that by agile
lanoeuvring the merchantman manned
to ram and sink the u-boat shortif
after two of the anderwater boats
ad made an attack, one from either
ide. The merchant ship lost a blade
rom her propeller.
i
KELTON
Kelton, June 11.?We had a heavy
rain on last Saturday and more Sunday
evening. I think now that all
replanted cotton will come up to a
stand. All crops are in a fair state
of cultivation and if well worked with
good seasons we will yet make a fair
crop if we have pood stands.
I returned last Saturday from the
Washinpton reunion. There was a
pood crowd of jovial Veterans; they
all seemed to enjoy themselves the
very best. There are many Southerners
at Washinpton who are employed
by the povernment or who
have moved there since the Civil war
and are doinp business there. You
can almost tell every one of them as
soon as you meet them by their kind
greetings, especially the ladies. Every
evening our camp was thronped
with their smilinp faces. We were
treated with much respect by all the
people, both North and South. Those
who had the reunion in charpe did all
they could to make us enjoy ourselves.
What I saw and heard would take
hours to tell. I will only tell of a
few places I visited. I went into the
literary buildinp where several million
of books and pamphlets are
stored. It is said to be the finest
buildinp in the world. I went to the
Smithsonian buildinp; it would take a
week to see only a part of what is in
it. Every species of animals, fowls,
insects, fish, the skeletons of animals
on land or in the water from the
least to the preat whale. Jonah could
have stood erect in the one they had
in there. The Australians are blacker
than the Africans. I went to Mt.
Vernon, the home of George Washinpton.
I went all through it. In one

another room the bed his wife died on
and the room and bed of LaFayette.
There is his old carriage, his gun
powder horn like my father used to
have, farming implements and the
flax wheel, spining wheed, loom, reel,
etc., his flower yaTd with the beautiful
flowers. How I was tempted to
pluck one of them, but it is positively
forbidden. I went to the barn where
his old war horse was kept. I tried
to take it all in. I can not express
my feelings while passing through his
mansion when my mind was carried
back to the time that the great hero
and father of our nation who had
walked in and out on the very floors
that I was walking on. I went to his
tomb and took a view of the vaults
of him and his wife, Martha. The
mansion is built on a hill right on
the banks of the Potomac river. From
his home is a beautiful view of the
river and the capital. In conclusion,
I will sav he was rrmeh hettei
up than any of the Pea Ridgers. The
next place I visited was Arlington.
The Custus Dee mansion built 1802
by George Washington Parke Custus,
adopted son of George Washington.
Here Robert E. Dee was married. In
the grounds is now a national cemetery
and many of the great men of
our country are buried there. I went
to .many of the monuments erected to
their graves. One of them was Gen.
Sheridan, a cavalry commander of
the Union army in the sixties, the one
that Wade Hampton and M. C. Butler
and our boys gave him and his men
a good thrashing today and tomorrow
53 years ago. I stood the trip
very well. I aimed to go to Gettysburg
but badked out. J. H. Foster of
parade and saw Wilson.
The unveiling of the wianument to
W. H. Barnes, W. O. W., at Foster
Chapel, last Sunday was attended by
a good congregation. Rev. Mr. Littlejohn
of Lockhart was the orator of
the day. *
