SOME THINGS TO BE REMEMBERED
There ore a few things Americans should remember that they
seem to be forgetting all the time. Wo hear caustic comment from
time to time of the Russians and of the Poles and of the Serbs and
other European nationalities. When relief work Is suggested or
planned, the expressions are somewhat common that this country
should have nothing to do with the people there, but that they
should go to work and help themselves.
Now there may bo many things for whicli these people should
be.crttlcleed. Thy are not perfect by any means and they may not
be .doing ell that they should do for themselves In their groat
distress, but nevertheless Americans should not forget a few things
about them.
' weiia tM, country was keeping out of tho war and our people
wero making money on sales to foreign governments, these people
wore fighting grimly against the Hun. Russia buried some five
or six millions of hor sons in the struggio before she was down and
out. That was something of a fighting record and a sacrlfico. It
should be remembered that tho Russians under tho Grand Duke
Nicholas were simply sweeping on to Vienna and Berlin when
treachery stopped their triumphant march.
Now If this country had a good cause to fight for and If wo
were really Justified in entering the struggle, these Russians
were fighting for tho same causo and sacrificed millions before
they had to give up. Wc should remember that fact In dealing with
Russia. All Russians nro not of the Lenlne and Trotsky typo by
any means. They are a pretty good people If they are led aright.
They aye for the most part very ignorant and illiterate in a
majority if cases, but they have a pretty good foundation on which
tubnlld. A great nation can be made out of Russia and it will bo
better td help make Russia a great and good nation than to seo
her exploited by other powers that are not our friends.
And the same may bo said of tbo Poles and tho Serbs and other
nationalities that fought on our Bide and who were practically wiped
! out before the end of tho war.
- The United States should bo in the League of Nations should
people but our peoplo are called upon to eld them In many ways
end to help them readjust their business and better their conditions.
The United States must and will learn thht the day of living to
’ themselves is over and that whether they want to oi not they will
have to take an interest in tho affairs of Europe. There are many
In this country who do not wish to do this, but they will neverthe
less come to It. It Is Inevitable.
"Tie United States should bo in tho Leagu of Nations, should
be shouldering their part of tho burden of the world. By so doing
they will work out the problem to their own help and profit.
Unless wc do get into the game, much, damage Is sure to come.
The world cannot' be put back on prosperity street unless all the
nation’s puli together. The United States cannot travel far on that
road with a bankrupt Europe bolding beck. It will pay us In money
and In men and in peace and quiet to do "our, share. If we had
bravely assumed that share of work when Wilson came back "
from Parle with the Versailles treaty we would be In better shape
today. ;.v
ANTI-LYNCHING BILL UP TO SENATE
The overwhelming' passage of the Dyer antl-lynchlng bill by
the House of Representatives was nothing more than .had been
jbt&ipafed and therefore occasioned no surprise anywhere. The
measure is a purely sectloual and partisan one and therefore
commanded. practically the entire Republican vote, although a
few scattering Republican votes wer recorded against. Tho Demo
crats voted almost solidly agaldst It, only eight northern Demo
crats voting in lts favor.
It Is now up to tho Senato to say what It thinks about it.
In that body there Is also an overwhelming Republican majority,
UriE there are moro Independent Republican senators than there
are Independent Republican congressmen. It is thought that the
bill will meot defeat in the Semite where the feeling that it Is an
Infringement on state's rights is stronger than in the House. .
The: Dyer measure is calculated to do much harm and little
or no good. It simply transfers the jurisdiction of cases' to federat
courts. The cases will have to be tried in federal courts, but before
Juries that are drawn from about the same list of people. And
again, the legislation in this measuro Is very similar to other legis
lation that baa In years past originated in several Southern
states and that has been tried by soveral of them with varying
affact.
In the end this measuro will not stop lynching, but it will have
a tendency to Increase racial feeling. There win bo more friction
between[the races should this bill become a law than there now la.
That would be quite regrettable, but It la very apt to be that way.
For the negro race will foolishly take this bill to mean what It does
not mean at all, and will arrogate to themselves rights that they
do not possess and that will not be accorded them. By the more
Ignorant It will be taken to mean that they can do certain things
and get away with them without being puniened. In that they will
be mistaken and they v/lll pay a severer penalty than ever for
their mistaken ideas.
■K Lynching ought to be stopped, but it will never be stopped
by legislation. Legislation of the right kind, within the state and
goV'ot a) federal nature, may help along any movement, but in tho
end tlm stopping of' lytmhlng depends more on the stopping of
the crlmo than on anything else. When the crime stop* then
lynching, will in measure atop.
Tho South is In not way m favor of lynching and tho
Democratic party is In no way in favor of it, but the 8outh and
Bo Democratic party Is opposed to any measure that extends the
i; fderal control over a question purely belonging to the state and
TU which the federal government should have nothin, to do.

A-hlord said he bad rented out all
his farms, that he would operate
them, and hoped for the best. This
was better than letting them re
main idle. The county farms had
large and promising crops of small
grain planted, and until the bad
weather set In had made conoid-
erable progress with plowing.
RESTORED CONFIDENCE
MUCH IN EVIDENCE
Mr. Ashford says a much more
hopeful spirit was noticeable In
the county, and be believed tho
worst Is over. From now on he
expects a general Improvement in
trade end business generally. Con
slderable cotton Is held in bis couu
ty, and when this Is sold It will
ease finances. But they have man'
agod to get along very nicely. Not
a single commercial failure had oc
curred in Watktnsvllle, and their
merchants are all on firm ground.
His banking business was also Im
proving and some who had held
their cash at homo wero deposit
Ing It In the bank. This shows a
restoration or confidence.
Mr. Ashford said It had boon Ills
practice both as a banker and mer
chant to deal with his patrons with
the greatest possible leniency.
When be found a party not able te
meet his note or account instead
of pressing him he indulged said
debtor by an extension of time.
His debtors appreciated this and
he la convinced that they will meet
their Obllgationa just as soon as
possible. He said the first thing
to do about bringing on better
times was to hare a restoration
ot confidence and let every one ex
tend a helping hand to others.
SAYS ECONOMY
IS GREATLY NEEDED.
Taken all in all Mr. Ashford said
there was an Improvement for the
better in the situation in Oconee
county, and from what he could
leant it was general throughout
this section. But he said the time
had come when we must practice
tho most rigid economy and curtail

comnanled b y
prostration.
Disturbances of
the digestive op
gans are readily
observed by watching the condi
tion of the tongue.
If It is dry, there is gastro-intes-
tlnal disturbance; If covered with
a thin, transparent coating, lmprop
er digestion Is usually at tho bot
tom of tho trouble.
A heavy coating at tho base of
the tongue Is Indicative, as a ruio
of an overloaded stomach, which
should be relieved by an emetic.
A dry, brown tonguo Is found In
cases of fever, high temperature
and much prostration. When the
coated tongle becomes furred or
shaggy in appearance an advanced,
stago of disease Is suggested.
A lack of alkaline elements in
the blood will often show np in
tho form of a broad and anemic
tongue. Thu presence of an acid
Is shown by a red and dry tongue.
In long continued fevers or In
prostration, thero Is a marked di
minution of the secretions—and
this Includes the salivary glands—
thus preventing the normal mois
ture of the tongue.
The shape Is also often indica
tor of condition ot the body. An
imitation ot the blood supply of
the stomach and bowels may be ob
served in cases showing an elon
gated and somewhat pointed ton
gue. In Impaired action of the
digestive tract, the tonguo may be
broad and thick, showing eviden
ces of atony.
In chronic diseases, when a fis

show an Inflammatory condition of
