WAR WITH GERMANY EMINENT It is only a question of a few days | when the soldiers under the "Star j Spangled Banner" will be mingled with the troops of England and France (possibly) in their mutual fight for free/lom and the liberties of all humanity. It is thought that a call wili be made for one million volunteers. South Carolina is supposed to raise forty-five regiments; Chesterfield county one regiment; Courthouse township one war strength company. Let The Advertiser have your name if you are eligible and wish to volunteer. It is up to all the citizens of this nation to show this desperado nation that they have gone too far in ruthless warfare. If the call for volunteers does not have the desired effect there will possibly be a resort to conscription of all unmarried males betwen the ages of twenty-one and thirty-five. A branch of the seru- m ice which is especially inviting to j young men is the aeroplane corps and J n great many are expected to volun- ? teer for this department. j REAL ESTATE FOR SALE; ' ?
