' TUESDAY, AUGUST 27, 1918. By evening we hope to have crossed the Rhine. I i > , We said the cotton was all running to weed. There should be a new sidewalk > . on Pinckney Street. V 1 Uncle Jim should trot out Cotton _ . , , __x .ratcn aDouc now. Our son Bill is ready for school. He has found his foot-ball. Does the "J" in the name of Col. J. D. Kerr stand for Jakie? We can stand the results of the election if the men elected can. i . We, intended to vote for certain candidates before seeing their pictures in the Sunday State. The statement that the sun rises in South Carolina before it does in California is a slander on the poor man. If the new hotel in Gaffney is to be screened before the Press Assocln ation arrives we hope that the flies jp' ** will be left on the outside. ' * Perhaps some of the nearby dailies do not publish that our congressional candidates are equally loyal for fear of an action for libel by Mr. Dominick. Hon. J. Howard Moore is opposed to that provision in the .man-power bill what would allow Mayor Mars and Col. Dave Hill to go to the war ahead of him. He does not believe in the government showing these gentlemen any favoritism. It is evident from the reports of the number of people attending Blease campaign meetings as sent in by the Bleasfe correspondents that the voting population of South Carolina has been greatly underestimated, or perhaps, they are counting the tombstones of ghosts they see. . U;' ??' ! ; Some of the newspapers which have been finding fault with the Charleston American for its failure to publish the text of the Daniels letter, have themselves failed to note that the candidates for Congress in this district are, in the opinion of the administration, "equally loyal." WATCH FOR OUR EXTRA. The Press and Banner is getting out its regular edition today in ord$r that the people may not be without the news. The Press and Banner will receive on its own account ' this evening telegraphic news concerning the election which will be given out at its office for the infor Elation of the public. We will publish Wednesday morning, in time for the mails and rural routes, the latest new3 from the election in order that the people in the country sections may know how the cat has jumped. The Press and Banner is a newspaper. It publishes the news. YOUR DUTY TODAY. The government of the state and nation cannot be better than the men who hold the offices. It will do no good to allow unworthy men to be elected and then complain of the kind of government they give us. We hare but one remedy to obtain good government, and that remedy is by . electing the . right kind of men ^ j ??& - ' ... ' I- - to the positions of trust in the government. A nomination in the democratic primaries is equivalent to an election in this state. Therefore, the men nominated in today's primaries are the men who will make thfc government for the next two years. Remembering this, it becomes the duty of the good citizen to see that only true and tried men are elected to office. He can do this in no other way than by himself appearing at the polls and casting his ballot for the best man who is offering for every office. It is as incumbent on a man who desires to do his duty to go to the polls and vote as it is to pay his taxes, or perform any of the other duties of the citzien. If i he fails, he neglects his state. He 1 allows his own business to suffer i through his own default. He is un- ] mindful of his neighbor's rights. He cares not for the country. 1 We have every confidence that ] the best men will win in today's ] elections. The times demand that < we give the country the best we i have. It is no time to talk about < friendships, and kindred and the needs of men running for office. It j is the day when every man, however ] humble, should measure up to the ] [ standard of a patriot. | i Go to the polls and do your duty. Let nothing keep you away. 1 BIRTHS.
