LOCKHART JUNCTION Ijockhurt Junction, March 28.? Today is cool and will likely be cooler until after Easter and then it will get warmer, but we will have a cool spell in May?we always do. That is my prediction and we will see how far we miss it. This is only guess work but I am judging the future by the past. We read of the war and it seems there has been a great, battle fought and many lives lost and this battle seems to keep on. Oh, yes, it is terrible thing to think about what the nations of the world are doing. My people I am not trying to scare you but are we thinking about it serious enough. The fighting is so far away that some of us are not thinking about it as seriously as we should. Let us take it this way?what if this fighting was going on in New York or let us get it a little closer?in Charleston, then what? It does seem to rne this war is the beginning of one of the greatest wars in the history of the world. This war would be a blessing in disguise if it was not for the precious lives of the people that will be lost on the battle fields. For the people are more economical than they have" ever been, and I believe there is mpre bread stuff being made than evbr before. I am only judging by w^at I see; the people are seeing the nqed of it now. Because you made plpnty last yeaf don't stop, for if we dqn't keep on tnaking it, it sure will gi.Ve out and I tell you, my friends, if'we don't make it at home we won't h^ve it from abroad. I feel that way aljout it. Don't plant too much cottqn this year?plant everything in the way of food stuffs. I know of one or tyo farmers that are planting their tajraces in cane for feed stuff. I kjw^ one that has been making enough to feed his stock through the ' Winter on terraces. It is better to grow cane there than to let the weeds ' grow up on it. | The gardens in some places are lAokjjjg fine?English peas are good amd some folks have beans up, Irish potatoes are up in places and other \ egdtables are trying to grow. Every1 ody is trying to have a garden this : ear. I ate some dried English peas for pinner yesterday and my, they ate iood?just like fresh ones from the yines. These peas were home raised And let us raise all we can, save all we can and help win the war. | A. B. Carwilc, Miss Alsie Smith and Miss Mamie Oetzel visited the Gault school house this evening, and I had the pleasure of coming from Union in Miss Alsie's car. I sure was delighted with my trip and I also attended their meeting. Mr. Carwile made a talk to the boys, also Miss Smith and Miss Oetzel. In the near future there will be a meeting at the Gault school house for the hoys and girls and all who would like to attend through demonstration workers. T will let you know through the papers. T attended the Silver Tea at P.ishop school house last Saturday night and enjoyed the occasion. I met.

Making You Si?k and You l/ose a Day's Work. Calomol salivates! It's mercury Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluggish liver. When calomel comes intf contact with sour bile it crashes int< it, causing cramping anu nausea. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a 50 cent bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful anc if it doesn't start your liver ano straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making you sick, you jast go hack ano get your money. If you take calomel today you'll b* sick and nauseated toonorrow; beside* It may salivate you, while if you take Wodson's Liver Toao you will wake up feeling great, fall of ambition and ready for work or play.

Hobson's Views on Preparedness As a Permanent Peace Policy No. 2. It is a cause for national congratulation that the object lesson of the great war has at last brought home to the American people a realization o fthe vital and fundamental importance of making adequate provision for self preservation. All living things, even in the plant kingdom must make such provision; much less can a great nation hope to escape the law. In nature, the animal that cannot fight must be able to hide or run. The American nation can neither hide nor run; it must be able to fight. In civilized society there are two general means of self preservation; the first and primitive one is that of individual self defense; the later or higher means is that of collective self defense. The latter is obviously to be preferred it can be realized and we should make it axiomatic in our National defense policy that America j will continually encourage, promote m and indeed take the leadership of the world in hastening the day when the nations collectively through adequate international organization will pro- r vide effective means in providing each p individual nation in its rights and vi- * tal interests and in settling the differences that arise between nations by 0 regular recourse to the processes of ^ law founded upon fundamental princi- y pies of iustice. 1 In the mind's eye, we can picture T the establishment of an international t board or body with authority to codi- j fy international law and declare what ? is and what is not the common law be- c tween nations as established by the j precedents and usages of the most advanced nations and according with t the manifest principals of right and t justice. We can see in the future de- f velopments o? the embryo lodged in The Hague conference into an inter- ^ national parliament; a legislative body y vest with steadily increasing powers s until it will make statutes and laws to govern the conduct of nations toward each other and a development of the embryo, lodged in the Hague Court ^ into an international judiciary with ^ authority to adjudicate causes be- ^ tween nations. The most difficult . branch of the international government's organization to evolve will bo '. the executive for the reasons that nations, most of them from their birth, are sovereign and acknowledge no su- c perior authority but Cod and a de- u f volopment of the international executive will of course entail at least 11 the partial subordination of national ^ sovereignty to the international or- '' gani/.ation. It may easily be conccived how the most advanced nations 11 may form a compact, a council through treaty agreement, gradually develop- ' ing into a confederation holding the 11 armaments of all the members ready for the enforcement and execution of s the laws duly made and duly adjudi- a cated by the legislative and judicial v branches of the international organi- ^ zation. It is not. inconceivable that the s.dvanced nations might develop ulti- * mately a constitution somewhat analogous to the Constitution of the United Ptntes which developed the confed- t oration of colonies into the United n States of America. Of course, T do p not mean to say that in short order ii we are to expect such a complete de- ? v( lopment of the international organ- h ization but T do say that the physical p barriers of distance and space have i< I Swift ly shows tl fit for less i Br-roc covered i expense Compan] Average pi Average pi Average pi Uni I 1 Citation to Kindred and Creditors jstate of South Carolina, " County of Union. ,By Hon.

Manifestly at the present period 0 vhen there is no authority to deter- t nine what is and what is not interna- / ional law; when there is no authority t o make or enforce or adjudicate jus- fl ice between nations, each nation that n s of importance enough to be really n overeign must make provisions for ts own individual self-defense. ti The forces of nations are of two b ssential kinds?land forces founded n ipon the enlistment of men and sea n orees founded upon the building and o maintenance of ships. Of these two tl inds of forces, when there is a choice s ictwecn them, manifestly the one to i< e chosen rather than the other, is i n aval force and the use of property s s the men may remain in productive a pursuits and the body of the nation tl ot subjected to the burdens of mili- p arism. In a general way it can be ii aid that the historical nations have s dopted this choice of naval power t' rhorever possible, tho in most of the F reat struggles of history, contact be- n ween nations and empires has been b irgely on land frontiers compelling i? he contending forces to organize u rmies.

Consequently to a ' | (per measure than any other nation, 1 an we avail ourselves of the advan- 1 ages of sea power. I do not wish to { jscourage in the slightest the whole- * impulse of our people at last to \ tganize for expansion and develop- ' nent of efficiency, the land forces, for { here is no danger of excessive miliarism in America. On the contrary, i ur fundamental weakness and per- a lanent error will spring from leth- s rgy and lack of interest in the ques- 1 ion of national defense, on the part i f our people. But I do not hesitate 1 o say that the permanent basis for i American defense will be the main- f ena?eo in the Atlantic Ocean of a i leet superior to the navy of any great i lilitarv nation of Europe and the < inintenanee in the Pacific Ocean of a 1 ieet greater than the navy of a mili- c ary nation of Asia and our two fleets f eing greater than the navv of any t ation in the world, together with a lerchant marine greater than that t f any other nation. It does not take j he eyes of a prophet but of a simple c tudent of history ta see that America c * marked by destiny to be the great r laritine nation of the future and the f obner we recognize this and take ^ dequate provision for its realization he better for our country. At the t resent juncture, manifestly our fleet j 1 the Atlantic ocean should he kept c uperior to the Japanese navy and the r wo fleets combined superior to the s Iritish navy. We should also supple- ( lent the shipping bill being pushed i y the administration V>y adequate legilation which would assure on a per- ^ lanent basis the ascendency of our j tmerican merchant marine. j The urgency of providing for such t leasures cannot be over stated.

It is vain to imagine .hey would not thus levy in view of 1 vhat has been takinp place in Europe. The enemy armies could then retire 1 A'ith their booty long before and ade- 1 luate force could be provided by us io inflict serious injury. Nor could ve pursue the enemy across the water. 3n the contrary, we would be compelled to submit to humiliating peace n order to get ready to fight the war >ver again. We would spend the better part of a generation getting ready, >uilding ships and eqiupping armies, f the late enemy permitted us to so i ;ontinue. 1 Our people would centralize their , nilitary institutions and centralization 1 vould gradually prevail in the state *nd nation. The rising generation vould grow up with anger and revenge and when at last the second , doody war came even though victorous, we would come forth as military is any nation of Europe and our hap)y civilization based upon industrialsm would have reverted back to the >ld civil civilization of the bayonet.

These ' leets on the ocean would also insure vhen other nations were at war, reipect for our rights as neutrals and bus insure against being embroiled n other wars.

Nations with great armies will rapidly find their armaments useless and "/ill the more readily join the Ame. ican leadership in developing the international organization as pointed out" above. The nations can finally find security and justice per mittnig them to lay aside their armaments leading at last toward the peace of the world. Whenever You Need Genera! Tonic Take Grove's.
