That kind of a pun knocks the eye
out on the first round.

We don't absolutely have to write
these paragraphs for a living. We

Journal. Good idea, Watson. Let's
jine the army and dig in.
At the election held in Maine on
the 10th on the question of adopting
a constitutional amendment granting
equal suffrage to women the proposed
amendment was defeated.
The American Bible Society has
undertaken to raise a fund of $400,000
to supply men in the army and
navy with the scriptures and the
President has heartily endorsed thi
undertaking as one which all Chris
tians will wish to see accomplished.

H. T. Morrison, president South
Carolina State Fanner's Union
published in the State yesterday a
letter addressed to the farmers of
the State calling attention to the
meeting in Columbia. September
27, at 4 p. in., at which the vital
question of holding cotton for a better
price will be considered.
It begins to look as though
John Edgar Hrunson, Jr., were the
only boy in South Carolina who is
really an artist in picking cotton.
Where are the others? Time was
when Lancaster and Edgefield counties
had champions.?The State. The
champions are still here. Merely
waiting for the opening.

About the middle of next week
wildest excitement will prevail over
in Lancaster when thev learn that
six enemy submarines have been
Bunk.?Spartanburg Journal. Why,
brother, when we read the news in
the Journal that American destroyers
had sunk six U-boats we thought
it wasn't so. Now it turns out from
reading other newspapers that probably
one submarine was sunk. The
excitement like the Journal's news
has swunk.

The New i'crk World speaking of
the governmental plan needed by
Russia says: "The plan of federated
states which we adopted after much
delay is peculiarly adapted to Russia.
It should solve the problem of
Finland, of the Ukrain, of Bessarabia,
of other sections which for reasons
of race, or climate or trade conditions,
or religion are hotly demanding
particularist treatment or
absolute independence. A constituent
assembly with a finished con.
stitution as its work is Russia's vital
need. If Kerensky aDd his associates
can bring this about Russia's
future is bright indeed. Ten thousand
squabbling Assuring "groups"
would invite a German Napoleon."

The grand jury of York county j
has indicted six white men and Ave
negroes for the murder of W. T.'
Sims, the negro preacher who was
put to death by a mob in York !
county on August 23, and the case
will be called for trial at the appreaching
November term of the
General Sessions Court.
According to the Associated
Press Germany has called to her ser
vice since tne beginning or trie war '
10,600,000 men. Of these 4,000_
000 have been killed, permanently
disabled and prisoners; 500,000
wounded under treatment In hospitals,
500,000 under formation and in

Miss Edith L. Parrott, State!
agent for home demonstration |
work, states that this work under
' Winthrop College and the United '
'states Department of Agriculture, is!
J established in every county in the
| State. Miss Parrott states: "The
, following lines of work are being
stressed at the present time: Kail '
I
gardens, fall poultry, the preserving1
land canning of fall fruits such as
pears, grapes, etc., wheat substitutes,
meat substitutes, economy in
the selection, combination and use
of foods, community, county and
I State fairs, and marketing of sur
: plus canned products." j'

The Information is that most Ger-.
man newspapers are wrathy over
1 resident Wilson's reply to the
Pope's peace proposal, but all the
same the leaven is working. The
German people yearn for peace,
their suffering is great, and the
spirit of democracy is growing. (
The underswell will overthrow the ,
autocratic and militaj'istic reign of (
the Hohenzollern, unless peace is (
soon brought about. The situation ,
will no doubt induce the German
government to give rather favorable ,
, response to the Pope's mediation, ,
, but how will the German people ^
. guarantee the good faith of any j
peace agreement unless they take I.
the powers of government into their
j own hands?
j The criticisms we read about con- i
' coining the high charges of the nier-jj
' i chants, restaurants and property I
' owners in Columbia do not seem to
be well founded Judging bif 'ho v#rv
reasonable explanation of those who
are the objects of criticism. It must
not be forgotten that every factor'
! I
that goes to make the thing sold has 1
greatly advanced in cost and the 1
i selling price is most probably not 1
i
(out of proportion to the cost nrice '
and everybody is entitled a rpas- '
onable profit. It is very easy and i
natural for the critic to compare his (
present expenditures with former
expenditures for the same article or
service without proper comparison
between present and former costs of
I
production, and hence the danger of
being unfair to the other fellow
without really meaning to he so.
Of course there are some people in
every community that take a grossly
selfish advantage of every situation,
hut we imagine that this is
merely an exception to the general
rule of fair dealing whit h prevails in
Columbia.
