Much Interest Many People An Enjoyable ' Day. The weather man favored the peo ple of the Sunnyslde community with an ideal day for their farmers' insti tute Saturday and several hundred took advantage of it. The day was spent in meeting old friends, making new acquaintances and discussing the live subject of farming. A very interesting program wan carried out and -many new ideas found lodging places, and it is hoped that they will be put into actual practice. This meeting was interesting from the simple fact that the farmers and their wives were there to get some thing worth while. Mr. S. J. Kirby, the principal oX the farm life school, presided and gave a very helpful discussion on the improvements of the farm condi tions in general. He then introduc ed Mr. J. M. Holland, secretary ol the county fair, who spoke briefly and to the point of how to make the fair a success. He also expressea himself as having no fears of getting the hearty co-operation of the peo ple from Sunnyside. The meeting adjourned for the noon intermission. The spread was an attractive one and judging from the way the people went after the dinner there were two things in evidence, namely, a good dinner and hungry people. In the afternoon Mr. J. B. Steele discussed farming or some of the principal points that Mr. Kirby fail ed to touch upon in his speech. Mr. Steele always gives a good, practical and helpful discussion. All the far mres should get in touch with him and his principles of farming as soon as possible. Miss Copeland. the county demon strator, followed with some very in teresting demonstrations, which were very interesting to the ladies. In connection with her demonstrations she gave a discussion, which was full of suggestion1 and advice. The institute was one of the best attended and the interest was all that could be expected.

Some Extract from the South Caro lina Fire-eater's Filbert Speech. As usual Cole Blease was one of the star attractions-at the. Filbert picnic last Thursday. He made a characteristic Blease speech. A Gas tonia gentleman who was present is responsible for the statement that the crowd didn't pay much attention to him. It was not like the old days, he said, when thousands of people crowded around to drink in the scathing words of the Palmetto State's champion fire-eater. Space forbids a reproduction in full of Blease's Filbert speech but the following extract, embodying his views on the war, will be of interest These extracts are from the report as carried in Friday's Yorkville En quirer: "I do not see any reason why we should go into war, declared Mr Blease, "but if Coker, Manning. Ben Cromer or any man says I have ever in word or deed showed treason and am not as good an American as they are, tney are liars and puppies. Put that down, I want them to read it," he said to the newspaper men. 'It has been published of late in tbe anti-Reform press that I and the party to which I belong are outcasts in the political world just now, but I want to say to you so iar as l am personally concerned, that I would rather be an outcast in the eyes of Woodrow Wilson, and a follower or Jesus Christ, than to be a follower of Woodrow Wilson and an outcast from Jesus Christ; that I would much prefer being a water boy in heaven, listening throughout eterni ty to the chant of the angels, than to be the commander-in-chief of all the forces of hell forever, hearing only the music of the cracking of coal, trie leashing of the blazes and the shrieks of the damned. I was opposed to this war. Had I been a United States senator or a congressman I would have voted aganlst it, and I believe religiously, as firmly as I believe that there is a God in heaven, that on tne nnal Judgement day every American citizen who is killed in this war off American soil will be charged against the president of the United States and the members of congress of the United State who voted for it, as an unwarranted sacrifice in the sight of Almighty God, of fresh young American manhood. "Do not misunderstand me. We are now in this war and it must be pushed to a successful conclusion. The might of the nation must be thrown towards bringing It to an end at the earliest possible moment. And let us all pray God that lt may be brought to a successful end before a great number of our young men are killed upon the battlefields of Eu rope. We are In the fight and we must fight it to the finish with all the power of our great nation. "Whan hrlat u-fla iilirtn thia oarth hie taught, 'Blessed are the peace makers.' Can any man show me where Christ ever said, 'Blessed be the warmaker'? No, but he did say that he came upon earth to save men and not to destroy them. He led the fight for Christianity and to save from death. Today what do we find n this great country of ours? We find the press, with all its might and power, swinging itself upon the side of death and destruction. We find that for fear of losing that awful in fluence of money, it is willing to rush into the trenches of France the the bone and sinew and the very flower of the manhood of the Ameri can republic. We find more than that that it fears, yea, it cowers be neath the lash of that influence, and gives to the people of this nation no information except what the editor wants the people to see. It keeps the news from the, people: it hides the facts; it conceals the truth, and it gives to us only those things which it thinks will inspire passion, and will call the mean and not good to the forefront, in order that the de struction may go on and on and call it may God save the name! Liberty! The former governor read extracts from his speech at Pomaria last Sat urday. "Now you boys read me right. They crucified Jesus Christ for His religious belief and If they want to crucify me, all right, I haven't got many years left anyhow. I am not afraid of Woodrow Wilson, even If he is president of the United States. 'Those that don't like tt darn 'em let 'em lump it.' How in the name of God any preacher can read the Bible and then stand up and preach for war I can't see. "Can it be that the power of mon ey has so reached out that it is felt in our churches as it has reached our newspaper editors and others? Can it be that characters like Judas Iscariot hav taken on the livery or heaven to serve the devil in? Why in my otto town, the capital of your state, the Sabbath day is desecrated in the very shadow of your capital building, with the easy hearing or your governor's mansion and in the very sight of Christian people going to churches. . But they say this talk is treason. If it is treason, let it be. Tbe editor of The Columbia State married a German woman and he is baking a success in life on her Ger man money. "Any time they want to have me indicted for what I have said, at Po maria. or here today, they can get me at 1431 Washington St.. and if I am not there then there is a red head ed iroman there who will know ex actly where I can be found. "I was never prouder in my life than when I picked up a paper last April and noticed that Fred Domi nickhad voted against war. The Third congressional district of South Carolina stands steadily behind him In It and there Is 'no man who can beat him for congress. "Oh. God, people you don't realize what.lt means. Wait until you pick up the paper and read the casualty lists. They talk about a free Amer ica. ; I don't-care what kind of an America t Iswneu Iana dead and gone:- Neither does your boy. "The Reform party In South Caro lina has no show. They stole the election from us last year and now Dick Manning's crowd Is turning' a gainst him because he can't stand up to tbe gang of . thieves. , I make-that statement. I'Te got the proof! They . - - ' wouldn t let me put . It . before i the Democratic executive committee. ' If they don't Ifke it, let them indict me for libel and I U prove it before a jury of 12 men of York county even as I proved that the Isenhower boys qian i riii fcneria hooq. i . "A gentleman wrote me recently to know if people could peacefully as semble to petition congress to stop war. You have that right. The con stitution gives lt to you. I don't be lieve this war was necessary. If I had had two hours in the United States senate before war was de clared and told them what I thought of them I would have been willing to go to the Philippines or anywhere else for the balance of my days. The United States could have peace with Germany now. "If it hadn-4-.been for money inter ests in England we wouldn't be In war. Today 1 am still of the opinion that America should have peace and not war. lt they want to fight Blease on thia issue let Senators Tillman and Smith resign and let there be a primary in August and a general election in September. Then let me get a running mate and let them run on a platform of advocacy of war and my running mate and I against it. If I am not elected I will never open my mouth on a public platform again. They say the people of Soutu Carolina are clamoring for war.- Let them accept my proposition and see in a primary election if they are. "This nation will never have peace until we live nearer a living God," declared Mr. Blease. I want to make it plain that I ant not here as a can didate or as a spokesman for the Re form party, but as Coleman Living ston Blease, a free-born American citizen. "Before concluding I want to see how people stand on this question. If I am right I want you to say so; ir 1 am wrong I want to be corrected. Not 10 out of every 100 who go to J Europe will come back alive. It la a horrible thought, is war and the idea of killing. 1 had a good cause once to kill the editor of The Colum bia State because of the buzzard car toon he printed. When I was hound ed over this state I had justifiable ex cuse to kill. But I did not, and I hipped them by rubbing down their stinking throats tbe fact that I was governor of South Carolina. 'All of you if you had been in congress who would have voted for war, hold up your hands. Two hands went up, but both realizing that they had mis understood the speaker's request, Immediately made known the fact. 'All of you who would have veted for peace hold up your hands.' Every band went up as far as the newspa per man could see. "It is as at Po maria," said the speaker in conclu sion. "The people here are with me in my position." STORING THE SWEET POTATO. Special to The Gazette. . RALEIGH, Aug. 1. Pick the sound potatoes, handle them careful ly and be sure they are dry before trying to store them for the winter advises the Division of Horticulture of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station. The sweet po tato is one of the easiest and surest crops raised in North Carolina, yet every year a large percentage of the entire crop is lost because of the faulty methods used in storing. The difference between success and fail ure In handling the crop lies, in the main, with four important factors. These are, careful handling, free dom from disease, thorough dry ness, and an even temperature while the potato is in storage. The sweet potato is very easily damaged by handling and once the skin is broken or the root is bruised, lt is very easily attacked by disease. The less it is handled the better tne chances that it will pass through storage successfully. Under no cir cumstances should bags be used to gather the crop as this defeats every attempt at successful storage. No potato should be put up for storage if it Has on It dark blotches, soft spots, or rotten ends. Such po tatoes are diseased and whether they are placed In a bank or a house tney will keep but a short time. The first consideration should be to keep such potatoes from those it is wished to store. The problem of ventilation should be carefully considered for when po tatoes have been dried they should not be allowed to sweat or pet we: again. If this happens, a good me dium in which "storage rot" may spread is furnished. These and other matters -elating to the storage of sweet potatoes are discussed in detail in Extension Cir cular 30 which may be had on appli cation to Director B. . Kilgore North Carolina Agricultural Exten sion Service. IS TAKING NOTICK OP THE SPKECJH OF DR. ALEXANDER. It Is Aliened His Utterances Border ed Ooely on Km ma Goldman Talk. Greensboro News. Washington, Aug. 1. The Depart ment of Justice today took official no tice of the speech delivered by Dr. H. Q. Alexander, of Matthews, at Salisbury this week and agents will be sent to the State to investigate and report just what the head of the Farmers' Union actually said. Ac cording to reports reaching the de partment, Dr. Alexander's remarks at Salisbury border closely to the Emma Goldman class and the depart ment wants to know just what be did say. Dr. Alexander s friends in Wash ington say there must be some mis take and do not believe he made the statements attributed to him. Some of those who come to Washington say the Mecklenburg county man urged the young men to resist the draft because it is unconstitutional and told them to refuse to leave this country for service on a foreign soil. The department expressed great surprise and concern over the re ports because of the prominence or Dr. Alexander, and the reported In fluence which he has among the peo ple of the State, especially those liv ing, in rural districts... Should the investigation . started today prove true, the government is certain to take most drastic action." : XM.;BELK?CO u Ladies' New Felt Hats We are showing a complete line of La dies' New Felt Hats in white and all colors, price $1.50, $1.98 to $2.98 New Shirt Waists, 98c Just received a beautiful lot of Ladies' Shirt Waists in Voiles, etc., priced very special at , 98c Silk Dresses at Sale Prices Our entire line of Ladies' Silk Dresses will remain at sale prices.
