Gerard, recently returned from ^the United States to Germany he was given a dinner in Berlin and was likened by one of the guests to the Peace Dove from Noah's ark. He intimated that Mr. Gerard had brought an olive branch from President Wilson. If Germany ro .1 ? Al TY? : -1 1?- T* AT~ A ~ ? - Korus iiiu x ruHiuuin ? i uuiu nuiu ?* an olive branch it's all the same in Dutch. If, as the Germans claim, the submarine warfare is to be increased, President Wilson's future notes may be the opposite of peaceful. It will be remembered that Noah had in the ark not only a dove but an eagle, and a lion and a bear. The dove was only sent out as a feeler. The English people are considerably excited by the acts of Mrs. Cornwallis West because of her meddling with army affairs. She may not be a sutfiagctte, but she is evidently a militant. iiy the way that name, Cornwr.ilis, has a familiar oound. A British General of that name surrendered his army at Yorktown during our little misunderstanding with George the Third. HERE SHE IS AGAIN Sarah Bernhart is making another "farewell" visit to America. As she is now over 70 years old it is probable that this may be her last farewell to America. However, the New York DflDers cive hitfh nrnisp sin pvpr tn Vior acting. The Evening Post saya of her: "Think of it! More than 70 years old, a cripple, and almost an invalid, this marvelous woman still retains the power to sway her audiences, make them weep one moment I and laugh the next, to thrill tt\em as I no other actress on the stacre can." His friends relate with much gusto that Frank Lowdon, the newly-elected Governor of Illinois, began life as a barefoot boy. Most boys begin life that way. It is related of Thos. A. Edison, the great inventor, that one time in his life he became so discouraged that he had about decided to give up his investigations and go back to his old job of telegraphing. It is well for the world that Edison did not yield to discouraging conditions and it *is a bright shining example to other boys and young men who become discouraged. A PROHIBITION VICTORY The Supreme Court of the United States has given John Barleycorn a blow between the eyes. In a sweeping decision the highest court in the land upholds the prohibition laws, prohibiting the shipping of liquor from wet to dry States. It furthermore gives to congress or admits that congress ; has the power to regulate the trafficThe lawyers representing the liquor interests assert that the decision is a very sweeping one. It does appear mat the last prop is knocked from under the liquor interests and the States are loft high and dry, emphasis on the dry. Congress may now pass laws to enforce prohibition in all the States without fear of the highest court pronouncing the laws unconstitutional. Congress has complete authority to legislate out of the way any Federal barrier to the full enforcement of the prohibition law. The end seems to have come to the liciuor Dower to override the laws of the Siaic and the rights of humanity. PROTECTING THE BIRDS The great amount of interest manifested in the protection of birds in Chesterfield county has been a source of much satisfaction to the editor of The Advertiser. He has gladly joined in this movement with the hope that some permanent good may come to the county thereby. The interest at present seems to be principally centered in the Bob-White, or partirdge, and in restricting the hunting of this game bird. We wish to call attention to the fact that the man with the gun is not the only and perhaps not the worst, centainly not the most wanton destroyer of the partridge. Homeless cats and half-fed dogs, we believe are a much greater menace to the existance of the partridge and all groundnesting birds than is the hunter. So we suggest that when plans are considered for the shortening or en- , [ tirely closing the hunting season, the ; and cat should come in for due consideration. In view of the fact that there are i many other birds equally useful to the farmer, we are now running at considerable expense to us, a series of pictures and the findings of the United States government in relation to their usefulness. Many of these birds can be en- , couraged to come back to the farms in great numbers by the proper care ! and attention. We would like to see ;, the school teachers of the county take an active interest in this matter and use the articles in The Advertiser as a text Look in instructing the children as to what birds deserve special < protection and encouragement. j For this purpose The Advertiser will be sent free of charge for the re- i maind *r of the school term to any 11 1 v?^?" > ^BShSSB I, a Soul Gentlero am Nam Well, way back ii in this bright, h days, I began to | have any name.

If the other days of the week get a Billie evangelist the millenium will surely be hastened. After all, Charles E. Hughes was elected President. When the votes were all counted it was found that he had been elected president of the Union League Club of New York. The final tabulation of the votes cast in the Presidential election shows that South Carolina gave Hughes only 1,809 votes. Missippi was next to South Carolina in the small number of votes cast for Hughes, her vote for him being 4,250. Wilson's plurality in South Carolina was 61,846.
