In the following brief editorial The State drives straight at the heart of the matter. God grant in this trying hour that "the people of South Caro lina will not lose sight of the main issue." " 4 'Mid this tumult' " the people of South Carolina will not lose sight of the main issue, to send to Washington a senator who was not doubtful of the righteousness of the American cause, who was and is in hearty agreement with President Wilson and the majority in Congress and who, for those reasons, can be depended upon to sustain the President in his leadership. "The Democratic voters of South Carolina who belong to no faction, who are the overwhelming majority, will have no difficulty in choosing a man to fill the bill?a man in whose utterances about the war there is nothing to defend and nothing to explain, against whose course has been set no question mark! "The voters will not lose sight of the main issue." THE LOYALTY OF THE SOUTH There are so many evidences and examples of the loyalty of the whole nation at this crisis in our national life that every patriotic heart has cause to rejoice. That the South is heart and "soul in this war is evidenced by the reSDonces that came from the call of the Red Cross. Here, for instance, is a little town in Georgia the quota of which was $500.00 But that little town, with the big name of Boston, raised for the' Red Cross $2,180.80. From Mississippi comes this cheering note of the fervent patriotism. A meeting was held at Aberdeen by the Confederate veterans,, forming "The First Mississippi Confederate Company." Here is a copy of the resolution adopted: At a meeting of the Confederati veterans of Monroe County it wasresolved that they offer their services to President Wilson and the United States Government and ask him to use them in any way that he saw fit in order that they might helj: win the war. In forwarding this resolution tc Congressman Candler, of Mississippi the following letter was sent wit! the list of names of the veterans: "Herewith please find a list of the members of the "First Mississippi Confederate Company," which corn pany, as you will observe, is made uj of old Confederate veterans of Mon roe County, Miss. They are the mer who in days gone by wore the gray but now they want to don khaki. "They are offering themselves t< the President, to be used in any ca paeity in which he may direct, foi the purpose of winning this war." Mr. Candler made a fervent, pa triotic speech in reference to this matter from which we make this ex tract: "When I look at our surroundingf as they arc today, when the hoy from the North and the boys from the South, the East, and the Wesl are all gathering together to brinj; about the great victory which if ahead of us; when I see our beloved Woodrow Wilson; our honored Vice President, Thomas R. Marshall; our great speaker, Champ Clark; our splendid leader on the Democratic side. Claude Kitchin: and our ironial leader on the Republican side, Frederick H. Gillett, standing shoulder to Bhoulder and heart to heart, backed UP by all the membership of this House, pressing forward in one solid phalanx to aid in every possible way to secure decisive victory so greatly desired, I feel and 1 know that triumphant victory is coming and that it will be ours." WOMAN'S PART IN THE WAR In this time of peril the Women of America are everywhere doing a noble part. In Red Cross work in cities, towns and villages the noble women all over the land are not merely "doing their bit" but are doing their best. The preparation of bandages, surgical dressings, knitting socks, sweaters, and hospital garments are part of the work now engaging the time and energies of the wives, mothers and sweethearts of the boys now in Prance. In the dark days of the Southern * bore a large part of the burden im-l posed by the civil conflict. With most of the men in the war many a noble I Southern woman with her own hands and with the help of the children did a large part of the farm work. The decendants of those women are doing the work necessary for the the care and comfort of the men and boys now on the battle line. Many of these brave sons of the South when taken to hospitals in France will find not only the needed appliances for makinc them romfnrtiihlp but will find trained nurses from ' America to administer to their needs. \ In this connection it is pleasing to ; note the response that American j nurses are making to the bombing of Red Cross hospitals by the Germans. ! Miss Delano, director of the department of Red Cross nursing, gave out this statement, referring to the bombing of Red Cross hospitals: *'If the Germans believe that such methods will have any effect in deterring American nurses from volunteering for hospital work they are badly mistaken. "Tactics of frightfulness will merely send more and more of them to back up our men. If it is the German intention of frightening our ! women they will find that American women do not know how to retreat iny more than do our boys in Pielrdy. The enrollment of nurses will >e American womanhood's answer." This war will doubtless furnish nany a heroine of the Nancy Hart lass. It will be remembered that n the Revolutionary War a party of British soldiers visited her home and >rdered her to cook their breakfast, rhey stacked their guns in a cornet md sat down to eat the breakfast she had prepared. According to the listorian, Nancy edged around to .he guns and seizing one pointed it _ it the British, saying: "I will shoot the first man that moves." As she was cross-eyed none of them could ceil which one she was aiming at and ill sat terrified. She sent one of her wl children to tell her husband that she ,n had captured six tories. One of the men advanced toward her, when she ihot him dead. She held the others it bay until her husband arrived The kaiser will find that Uncle sf Sam's brave men that he is fighting hl' on the fields of France have brave 1 x women at home and in French hospi- |.u tals, who are assisting in winning the >var for liberty, women like Miss Dolano, who cannot be frightened by .he kaiser and his minions at w.s.s. gp WAKE UP, SOUTH CAROLINA lir AND SIGN THE PLEDGE ca Charleston?A very unique plan has been decided on by the South w, Carolina War Savings committee for er .he purpose of waking up the state = of South Carolina in the forthcoming intensive W. S. S. drive in June. From June 14 until June 28 it is St planned to have all church and fire bells, factory whistles, and other nediunis of noise, ring and blow as loudly as they know how, every day v. it 12 o'clock noon. Every man, wo- |e man, and child in every community, n hearing the noisy demonstration, ^ will interpret it as follows: y "Wake up. South Carolina! Sign g, the pledge to save, and buy all the n1 War Savings Stamps you can. Wake U1 up!" The state wide concert will he a (j clarion call to duty, and won't dis- j, lurb anybody except Bill Kaiser? a( and no loyal American is very soliei- w tious about Bill Kaiser's welfare. I ? THE MISSING ENGINE Ij Mr. Black, an old retired farmer, decided to purchase an auto. Against he advice of his wife he went to Ihe city alone to purchase one. When it arrived at the farm a mechanic from a neighboring town was engaged to drive and to see that all parts were working satisfactorily. Noticing a slight irregularty in the engine, he remarked: "Let's stop a moment; the engine's missing." Whereupon the aggrieved Mrs. Black reproachfully remarked to her husband: "Now, hear that, Silas?it's just as i I told you. You should have taken j someone with you that knew about cars. Now we have the car and the { engine's missing, and what good is it | without the engine?" A BIT OF ADVICE |[ > Firit?Don't Delay. Second?Don't Experiment. I If you suffer from backache head aches or dizzy spells; if you rest porr. ly and are languid in the morning; if the kidney secretions are irregular and unnatural in appearance, do not delay. In such cases the kidneys often need help. Doan's Kndneys Pills are especially prepared for kidney trouble?they are recommended by thousands. Can i residents desire more convincing proof of merit than the statement of _ a citizen of this locality. B A. W. Chance, merchant, Main St., Lancaster, S. C., say: "I have been I using Doan's Kidney Pills for year, | nnd they have always strengthened i my kidneys. I am satisfied that they Ai are a good kidney medicine.. I have felt much better since using them." OVER SIX YEARS LATER, Mr. Chance said: "I think as highly of; Doan's Kidneys Pills now as when I , first recommended them." Price 60c at all dealers.
