PAUL H. HEARN Editor and Publisher. LOYAL CITIZENS SHOULD VOTE FOR DIAL AND DECENCY As th time of decision draws near the loyal citizens of South Carolinu an becoming more emphatic in their declaration of loyalty to Wilson and democratic principals and consequently more emphatic in their abhorrence of tin' Kaiser and his American prototype, Mr. Lilca.se. Witness the plain words of the county candidates at Cheraw last i Monday niirht as reported in this na p< r. Witness the plain words of Octavius Cohen, of Charleston, candidal for lieutenant-governor, who say In- does not want thcr vote of any man who vote- for Mease. It is not m . s'-aty that we go on enumerating tin- statements of the loyal Americans who are repudiating Mr. Mease us tl.<- <ourge of South Carolina. We said two week ago that his old followers are falling away from I m. The mystery is that any should adhere to him. That speech delivered at a negro i - . a printed elsewhere in this paP r . hould he suflicient to drive from h i - very decent man in the State. Bead that speech to your wife or d; lighter and then tell them you will vole for the man who made it! As printed nlsewhero in this paper, l'r? -ident Wilson has said that Mr I: - a e is not a friend of the administ.r.iion. In times like these, the man v ho i not for his country is against it. >>e ugge-t again that all those v. i.o < i i heir ballots on August 27th 1 Mr. IlI'M.-e should save the pub 1.1 n d utterances as reported by his fr <-i ,lv papers and read these to the bo\ who r'-turn from the hattle fi 1.1. 'I in n tell those hoys you vot to s'-nd that man to the United !- it--- Senate where he could do his < ' in try the greatest damage, his S'ate th<- greatest, disgrace and his fra-nd, tie- I.a. er, the greatest good. W? want to lie there when you i<u tin in inat. 'I h? r? is another consideration which we have not before mentioned. The liihlieal statement that "No man Ir.cth unto himself" applies to States n< well as individuals. The eyes of nil the States in the union are turned toward South Carolina just now It. I,*h< r elections of late wherever quustior. of loyalty have been raised iho-.e of doubtful loyalty have beer, left. at home. The nation is a inf.?, "What will South Carolina do? Is she 100 per cent, loyal or i.oIt is up to us to answer that que tion at the polls on August 27th We have spoken as plainly as we knew how not to ofTend anyone, but to discharge our duty as we see it. Tln-re js no question as to the disloyy of Mr Mlease. We beg our friends to have ,t to tin* actually disloyal to vot.. for Mr. lilease this time and v.-e :ire sure there will be no danger of hi, election.

A Kreat deal of inside information as to Gorman tactics and Gorman schemos is brought out by the aid of prisoners who have been captured by our boys. A very intelligent German captain who was captured was greatly astonished at the number of American soldiers. He said the people of Germany are told that only a 1 1 few Yankees ore in France and that the troopships of the Americans are all being sunk, and that New York has been taken and a German army is marching on Washington to take President Wilson prisoner. TWO CREDITABLE APPOINT. MENTS That President Wilson is a broadminded man and not a partisan is shown by tho fact that he selected ex-President Taft to serve on the war labor board and asked for and secured the services of ex-Justice William E. Hughes, to the air craft investigation. While it is greatly to the credit of President Wilson that he appointed these two Republicans to important positions in the conduct of che great war, it was a gracious act upon their part in accepting the offer ind placing their talents and their Lime at the disposal of our great Democratic President. DEATHS IN CONGRESS There has been remarkable mortality in Congress in recent years. Eight members of the Senate have died since war was declared, this in eludes Senator Tillman, South Carolina's great Senator. Since Congress convened in 1017 fifteen members of that body have died. It has been claimed that the ill ventilation of the f buildings in which congressmen have to spend so much of their time in A'ashington is responsible to a large extent for the number of deaths occurring among the nations law makers. The new special taxes that wil! yield several million dollars revenue, .0 be imposed by the present contcress, will hit the mail order houses md manufacturers of tobacco and rigarettes right between the eyes, leing in addition to the tax already mposed. The proposal to tax cotton 13.00 per bale was knocked out. The war board has decided that no new newspapers shall be started durng the war. The big newspapers hat are using no much white paper ire required to use less paper, the Sunday editic s being cut 20 per cent., the weeklies must cut IB per cent., effective September 1st. AMERICA INVINCIBLE This paper has upon several occasions alluded to the patriotic uttermces of tiiat grand old statesman of Mississippi, John Sharp Williams. In i recent speech in congress, he made his reference to American's part in the war: Out of 100,000,000 people who tnew no ideal except peace, who knew no ambition except to further peace, who knew no sentiment except love for mankind, we have, upon the necessity at tho demand of brutes, made ourselves an Army and a Navy. We have a Navy which not only iB second best in the world but is very nearly first best right now, and which without assistance could whip Germany on the seas tomorrow, and ve have made of ourselves an Army which while it can not whip them tomorrow on land will be able to do it :n six months. "I pin my faith to Woodrow Wilson .ind to David Lloyd George. I do not believe that in the entire German Empire produced by science and pr vocative German education of .'10 years they have produced anyone who can claim to be of God's chosen race or is anywhere near the equal of either of those two men." THE GERMAN VIEW OF CHRISTIANITY Frederick Wilhelm Nictzche wan one of the most noted of modern German philoHopherH. How much has his philosophy affected the views and character of the Germans of today? la not the answer written in .he blood of the women and children the old men of occupied France and Belgium? Are not the Luaitania victims witnesses to Gorman adoption of Nietzche's faith? Here is his indictment of Christianity: "With this I conclude, and pronounce my sontence: 1 condemn Christianity. To me it is the greatest of all imaginable corruptions The church is the great parasite; with its anemic idea of holiness, it drains life of all its strength, l?ve arid its hope. The other world is the motive for the denial of every I hand to gain its ends. I call it the one great curse the one great intrinsic depravity the one great instinct of revenue, for which no expedient in aufficiertly poisonous secret underhand to gain its ends. I call the one immortal shame and blemish upoi the human race."

IN A FRENCH HOSPITAL Through villages swarming with troops and packed with ordnance w<arrived at an old caserne, which had > been converted into the children's ' hospital of the district. It is in charge of one of the first of America's children specialists. Here are 500 little patients. This barracks converted into a hospital is ! full of babies, the youngest only s x days old when I was there. Many of the children have no parents. Others nave lost tneir mothers; their lathers' are serving in the trenches: It is not always easy to fin?l out how they came to he orphans; there are such plenti-, ful chances of losing parents who live continually under shell lire. One little boy, on bein*? asked where hi.i mother was, replied gravely: "My mama, she is dead. Les finches, they put a *?un to 'er head. She is finished. I have no mamma." The unchildliko stoicism of these children is appalling- I spent two flays anion*? them ami heard no crying. Those who are siel; lie motionless as waxen images in their cots. Those who are supposedly well sit all day brooding and saying nothing. When first they arrive their faces an earth colored. The first thin*? they have to be tau*?ht is how to be chil dren. They have to be coaxed ami induced to play; even then they soon *?row weary. They seem to re*?ard mere playin*? as frivolous and ind< corous; anil so it is in the li*?ht of the tragedies they have witnessed, (ihildrer: of 7 have seen more of horror r" fw mssutvn iiivn t VHtTTl I QOVEl !

They have been present while indecencies were worked upon their ir.others. They have seen men handed, shot, bayoneted, and flung to roa t in burning houses. The pictures of all these things hang in their eyes. When they play it is out of politeness to tin* kind Americans, not because they derive any pleasure from it. N;ght is the troublesome time. The children hide under their beds with terror. The nurses have to go the rounds continually. If the children would only criy, they would give warning. But instead they creep silently out from behind sheets and crouch against the floor like dumb animal! That is what they do when first they are brought in.

S?*nntoi Chamberlain had written to the secretary saying if it was true that deferred classification for married men generally was contemplated man) senators would oppose the present draft age of 18 years. "The present situation," Mr. Bakei replied, "with regard to married mer in Class 1 is that four classes of mar ried men are included within the lim its of that class; first, married mer who do not support their wives oi families; second, mnrried men whost wives support themselves; nvarriei men whose wives have absolute inde pendent means; fourth, married met engaged in useless occupations ant who are not the main or principal sup port of their families. "There is no intention to changi this situation. "In construing the regulation! with regard to dependency of wive: and children financial dependency has been looked upon as the reasoi for deferred classification. This wil continue to be the case. "I am told that in some parts o the country there is an abnormal in crease in the rate of marriages whicl suggests the possibility of a desire t< use marriage as a basis for a clain of exemption.
