Blue and crimson and white it shines, Over the steel-tipped, ordered lines. Hats off! The colors before us fly; But more than the flag is passing by. Sea-fights and land-fights, grim and great, Fought to make and to save the state; Weary marchers and sinking ships; Cheers of victory on dying lips; Days of plenty and years of peace; March of a strong land's swift increase ; Equal justice, right and law, Stately honor and reverent awe; Sign of a nation, great and strong To ward her people from foreign wrong; Pride and glory and honor? Live in the colors to stand or fall. Hats off! Along the street there cames A blare of bugles, a ruffle of drums, And loyal hearts are beating high; Hats off! The flag is passing by! ?HENRY HOLCOMB BENNETT. % # AN UNSEEMLY WRANGLE It seems that the contest for the seat of Senator Hardwick, of Georgia, has degenerated into a mud sunging campaign, in which each of the candidates is trying to outrival the other as to the amount of mud he can sling. Not only is there regret in Georgia that the campaign has become humiliating but in Washington the Georgia Senatorial situation has caused regret and disappointment. James A. Holloman, the able Staff Correspondent of the Atlanta Constitution, writes a scorching letter to his paper, reflecting the sentiment of leading Democrats at the National Capital. Mr. Holloman devotes a column to the Senatorial race in Georgia. This is a paragraph from his letter that indicates the feeling at Washington: "The degeneracy of the campaign into the cheapest of personal politics, with the world afire, and this nation in the most serious crisis since the birth of the republic, is deeply regretted not only by Georgia members of congress and others from that state in responsible government positions here, but prominent democratic leaders from all over the United States are taking cognizance of the unfortunate condition, and do not hesitate to express themselves regarding it." It is to be hoped that South Caro11 n > ir. ?k? ^ ? C! . : 1 >n buv (itcocnv ocimiui lai eontest will show our sister state a compaign staged upon a higher plane. - - -. i We know that William J. Bryan is a great orator but had no suspicion that he was a poet until we read this from one of his recent addresses in interest of the Red Cross: "Don't be a miser, And we'll lick the Kaiser." A PATRIOTIC REPUBLIC I AN Congressman Rogers, of Massachusetts, is a Republican, but one of the strongest appeals made in Congress for the support of the administration was uttered by him during the discussion of war legislation. This extract is a sample of his speech: "No man, I think, can question my Republicanism. But I am not, and never will be, among the carping critics of the men who are, as our chosen representatives, carrying on the war, and, I believe, doing the very best they can. My sympathies go out to rresident Wilson and those associated with him in authority. Theirs is a frightful load and burden of responsibility. Of course they will make mistakes. That is inevitable. But unless our words will certainly improve and not retard they had better not be spoken. Unless our criticism, viewed in the broadest possible way, tends to the attainment of the great goal?a victorious and lasting peace?it had better remain unuttered." When a Republician Congressman, a Massachusetts Republician at that, can speak so earnestly,so zealously and so patriotically in defense of the administration it ill becomes a Democratic Congressman to indulge in criticism of the President and his actions in this great crisis. And yet, and yet sad to say, there are picayune fault-tinders who hunt with extraordinary ardor for something to criticise. Better adopt the language 0f Mr. Rogers: "Unless' our words will improve and not retard they Ijad cer AMERICAN HELD CANTIGNY IN FACE OF VERY GREAT ODE With the American Annies in I cardy, June 1.?Under fire that pr vented bringing up rations, owing the lack of trenches; subsisting t hard tack and raw bacon; fightir day and night.

AN AMERICAN ECLIPSE OF SU It is only about once in every 3( years that we Americans get chance to stand in our own yards ar see a total eclipse of the sun. Ar the 8th of June this year is one < those rare occasions. Of course, total eclipses are ha pening somewhere in the world mo of the time; but they pet ali over tl world only about once in every thri and a half centuries. So it will 1 wel worth your while to watch fi this one. This eclipse, during which tl moon will swing in between lire earl and the sun, blotting out daylight many parts of the United States ar casting world shadow , on others, w begin at sunrise, away o.-er at tl little island of Borolin .. south of J. pan. It will pass quic'Jy across t) Pacific, making the trip in a'.ou: tv hours and a quarter, striking tl American coast at the Coluinbia Hi er about 1:55 P. M. A this time will be traveling at the rate of nea ly two thousand miles :vr hour. This great black shedow will cm a diagonal swath across the Uniti States about sixty miles wide, \vhi< will run through parts of Washin ton, Oregon, Idaho, Wyoming, Cole ado, Kansas, Oklahoma, /crkansr Louisiana, Mississippi Alabama, ar Florida. This swa'h will be da< with the drakness of total eclipse f< about ninety seconds. Folk on both sides o? '1 e blu< path wil get a share of it. They w see, not a total eclipse, but a parti one, on the afternoon of June The farther away they are from tl path, the less will be their floor but they'll have to be pretty fi away. Even as far down as ?out em California about three quarte of the sun will be cohered. pret much all of the Unitec. States w:ll p: a touch of the bij; even. The bij; shadow w;n sweep aero the country at an almost unheliev ble rate of speed. I he fusicst e press train, the speediest lly:np m ehane, would seem merely to era> in comparison with it. It will flai from coast to coast in exactly fort seven minutes. It should roach tl Mississippi valley abou* -1 :d7 P. P Central time, jumping off the Fforic coast at 5:42 Eastern time. The coming of this eclipse hi turned astronomers tonsy-turv They are rushing uround plantir mammoth cameras in b"g observab ries to snap the phenomena. They'i putting them up all aiong the roul of the big show, fo? fear a sma cloud may interfere with camen here and there. One big earth e> has been fixed at Denver by th Yerkes observatory.

Adv. 1 3 An Open Lette t People of So to toi April the country was >n called upon to purchase Liberty Bonds to the amount of three billions of dollars. It responded by purchasing four Id billion dollars' worth. In May i It was called upon to contribute $100,000,000 to the Amer1 8 lean Red Croaa. It responded rts by contributing over $150,000,3f 000. And the best part of those two responses was not er merely the amount of money iK raised, but the patriotic enthusiasm manifested. It was ,1S made plain that the American nation is determined to c prosecute this war to a successful conclusion at any s" cost. K? The hardest task is before 11 - us in June. The government ie is depending upon the sale of te two billion dollars worth of War Savings Stamps during is this year, and of this amount ,c expeots South Carolina to ,n purchase over $30,000,000 worth of these stamps?a greater investment than w? l~%t were called upon to make in the last two Liberty Loans in combined. The government has designated the month of June as the period for securte kng definite pledges for these purchases during the balance of the year, with a fair proII. portion of actual purchases lvJ during that month, j. We have been associating the War Savings Stamp with children to such an extent that we have lost sight of the other purpose involved ki this government issue. ? s j namely, providing a form of r' i investment which is suitable w . to the great mass of people^ le who do not And it convenient id to visit bamks to pay metallic menta. but who can see either the postman every day or else an agent for the sale of W. 9.

If you deposit in a savings bank paying 4 per cent interest quarterly, $4.17 in the month of June, 1918, will increase to $4.89 on January 1. 1923. War Savings Stamp bought in- June for $4.17 will be cashed for $5.00 in the same time. The value of a War Savings Stamp does not nuciuate aa la the case with a bond, because the government guarantees that a War Savings Stamp Increases one cent a month io value. It can be redeemed any time before maturity. From June 14 to June 28 we are calling for pledges from the mass of people of our state to the amount of 820,000,000, these pledges to be redeemed during the balance of the year as may best be suited to the subscribers. South Carolina stands at the foot of the list of states la its per capita purchases of War Savings Stamps. From now until June 28, when the intensive campaign will end, let us see to it that We do our part and take a more appropriate place in the roll of states?and thou, we can look forward to a rest from campaigns until November. Let us not forget that the Government is relying on the country's purchase of two billions of dollars' worth of W. S. 9. during this year as an important part of its revenue to pay for what the boys need on the other side. That thought should stir us all to instant action. Our soldiers don't grumble or ask for rest. If we supply them with all that American genius and energy can produce, victory will be hastened asid many lives saved. How can we eapect to rest, how can we endure the thought of reetkig when there is something for us to do, an long as our boys are in the trenches enduring the torments of bell, and giving even their lives that we may live nere in aafety and proaparity!

A BANK GIBRALTAR, OF YOUR HOME to. i to Your Wife, LIIJ iiiiuren ftS' BANK GERMAN GAS PLAYS f AN IMPORTANT PART \ IN THE HUN ADVANCE Washigton, June 1.?German gas played almost a major part in goug ing a path for the boches to the Marne. Developing its use to a higher point than ever before, the boche clustered the back areas with mustard oil shells, fields, woods, a.nmui tion dumus, were well sprayed to a distance of eight or nine miles behind the lines. This oil volatilizing gave forth fumes which compelled retirement. The use of gas was more intense, senators were told by the war council today, than anything lo date. Gen. March, chief of staff informthe senators that the staff view here is the Germans will halt at the Marne. There they will seek to consolidate their positions. Afterward an effort to spread out westward may ' c expected. American troops will beyond a '.oubt have a part in the big battle .vithin the next few days. Their brigading has been going rapidly and it is likely that brigaded Americans or perhaps individual American units will have a share in this critical strife. The struggle on the allied left may last a considerable time. The German effort is now considered part of .'he Picardy battle and Amiens is regarded as the chief objective with Paris and the channel ports as the *rand prize. Thus far, he had things almost is own way. From now on the tide s likely to turn. There is some pros ect of allied counter attacks along the western front of the Teuton .vedge. Foch has not played his cards yet. Confidence in him is strong in every quarter. Highest military authorities say the ultimate outcome cannot be doubted. It will be an anxious summer, but with the approach of fall and winter the doom of Germany will be written. For then, American re-inforcements will be at hand in numbers sufficient to turn the scales. The senators at the war council were informed that American shipment of troops in Muy broke all records; that aviation work is showing a decided spurt; that ordnance is on the upward turn. Secretary of War Baker will make some announcements of troops shipments soon. And, these figures will surprise America. They furnish one of the very bright spots in a picture of gray lights. W.8.8.
