This year no kerosene was used. It is not necessary j( to say anything about the mosquitoes tp* this year. They speak for them- p selves. e In answer to the appeal of last a wreek, we have added a number of s \ correspondents to our list. But we n feU want others. If your section is not t properly represented in the corre- p > - spondents' department, let us have t{ U" your name and address at once so v that you may receive stamps and sta- p jj| *? tionery. And we wish to remind a those who hate already enlisted, that ^ it is our desire to receive from them p a letter every week, even if the let- c ter contains only a few personal t items. i] The most conspicuous thing about v the county campaign meetings so far n | has been the absence of any excite- t ment or even enthusiasm. The peo- e pie are evidently thinking this year, s and we believe that good men run- e ning for office have a far better f chance of election under these condi- v V tions than if there were a great fuss i: and much excitement. In fact, we v fy? " think this is a bad year for the pro- s fessional politician both in the coun ty and in the State. In our opinion a the people will go to the polls quiet- a ly and vote as their better sense tells t ^ , them it is their duty to do. , v f it is not a question of xwby you ^ should vote for Manning, but a ques- t tion of why should you not vote fo^ t him. Manning has made good; Man- i, ning has served but two years. If a he has made good, he is entitled to t the usual second term. But there is t ; a duty more binding on the voters c than merely giving Manning what is p justly due him. It is the duty of t the people to say whether or not this \ State, which for the previous four c years had been buried in disrepute t and political demagoguery,' shall re- e tain the place won only by a hard p ' fight two years ago. We know what t Manning will do if he is reelected; r ?we know what Blease will do if he l is elected. Gentlemen of the ballot, t do your duty, and there will be not a s particle of doubt about the result. t Next year the first installment of j. the $75,000,000 of federal funds will t be available to the various States for c permanent road improvement. This ? State will be entitled to receive about <= $71,000 the first year, provided a j like sum is appropriated by the State. f The roads so built will be construct- T ed under the supervision of a govern- f ?ment engineer and will be permanent t in character. We have not made a study of the good roads law, but we t trust that some of our legislators^are s now working out a plan whereby this t State will be enabled to secure these j : funds. The amount the first year is ** ^ 1- ? ? ?. *11 ^ 4" V* /\ v* raiiier teiiiciu, uui mc iuhu. giuno year by year, until a total of seventyfive millions will be expended by the federal government, which means 1 that within the next few years there J will be a hundred and fifty millions * spent on permanent road improve- 1 ment throughout the country. And this is only the beginning, we are as- 1 sured. By all means, South Carolina { must be in readiness to secure its quota of this money. A State road 1 commission must be created, and certain other conditions must be com plied with. ? m If every man in South Carolina 1 who believes in prohibition and its enforcement and every man who believes in law and order will go to the polls on August 29th and vote for * \ Richard I. Manning, the governor will be elected on the first ballot by a large majority. If every man who believes that Governor .Manning has made a conscientious effort to enforce the laws votes for him, we have ev*ry reason to believe that the governor will be renominated on the first ballot. The prospect of the governor's reelection is brighter now than it has been at any time during the campaign, and if the people do their iuty to the State we believe that [here will be 110 doubt whatever that Manning will be elected. The voters | should now stand by the governor, rhe issue is squarely whether the people want law and order or not. 1 i'ou cannot dodge the issue. Whether you wish it to be so or not, a vote igainst Manning is a vote against the :hings that Manning stands for?it ?annot be construed any otner way. \Yq cannot believe that the people of South Carolina stand ready to repuliate law enforcement and repudiate ?ood government. \ ? Making a Good Appearance. We suppose it is only natural that ve should try to keep up appearances < ls far as possible and to a certain de- < ,rree the impulse is one that should 1 >e encouraged because we are unloubtedly judged, at least from a worldly standpoint, by the appearnce we present. Of course such a 1 tandard of valuation is unfair and hould not be allowed to influence s hose who assume the duty of pass- 1 ng upon our merits or demerits but, owever, that, may be, it is one thai s largely followed and custom is an i rbiter from whose judgments there t 5 but slight appeal. The desire to ? 30k as well as we can is inborn in ^ he human breast. To some its apeal is slight but to others its influ- nee dominates life and amounts to ^ n obsession. It is these latter perons who not being Satisfied with T laking a good appearance within heir means soon reach the danger 1 nint of attempting: to appear bet- 1 &r off than they are. It is this point * rhich proves the downfall of many * ersons who otherwise would prebbly prove to be worthy citizens. The 3 esire of keeping abreast of their articular circle seems to them to * all for the necessity of going a litis beyond the effort of simply makng a good appearance, and they atempt to dress as well, to live as fell an4 to enjoy life generally as audi as those who are better able 1 o do these things. It seems easy nough at first to incur greater reponsibilities than we are accustom- 1 d to, but after a while we learn rom sad experience that the danger rhich seemed so far off is very real ndeed, and we are obliged to pay a rice far beyond the satisfactions we o ardently desired. 1 This is the trouble with most of us .t times; we do not realize when we 1 re approaching the danger point in i he effort to appear better off than 1 re are. We believe that we can ocasionally allow ourselves a luxury to rhteh we are not accustomed, but the rouble is that having experienced " he pleasures attendant upon this reaxation from our necessarily moderate manner of living we are likely " mnro Q r? rl mnro until wo finH yj ICiaA 1UU1C U11U 1UU1V U.JUVX1 II V ouu hat we set ourselves a pace which we annot afford. This is the danger oint, of course, but few of us have he moral courage to recognize it rhen we reach it. Instead, we put ' >ff meeting the issue squarely and ry to salve our consciences with the expectation that something will hap>en to extricate us from our difficulies. How seldom such a happy neans of escape offers itself is well mown to anyone who chooses to read he signs but, even in the light of uch knowledge many of us continue he hopeless task of trying to delude >thers as well as ourselves into the >elief that we are really better off han we are. We owe something to urselves, of course, in the matter of ^ood appearance as well as in other letails ^f material life but, certain y not to the extent of jeopardizing >ur happiness, to say nothing of our )hysical welfare, by attempting to ieceive others as to our real condiion. To appear in all circumstances and inder all conditions in the best possible light is a worthy ambition; to ry to appear better off than we are s a false standard of living. Bertillon Courtship. A young lady met a young gentlenan at Coney, and they took a bath md a long walk on the beach, and :hen they sat down side by side on :he white, clean sand. The spot was a lonely one, and the roung man began to talk love. He irew nearer and nearer to the young lady. Finally he reached out his arm to encircle her waist. But she drew back sharply and pulled a pair of cotton gloves from her handbag. If you re going to get rrienaiy, George," she said, "just slip on these.

Pat Classidy purchased a new automobile, and while still inexperienced in the handling of it he drove down one of the crowded thoroughfares of the city, relates the Chicago Journal. Coming to a crossing where traffic was held up he lost control of the car and ran squarely into a handsome limousine. The crowd which gathered found the situation amusing, and to add to Pat's discomfiture the crossing policeman, a big Irishman, commenced to berate him. "Since when did you learn to droive a car?" demanded the officei. "What's yer name?" "Classidy," answered Pat. "So?" said the policeman interestedly. s "And where are you from?" "County Clare," said Pat. "Sav." said the cod. "how the div vil did that fellow back into you?" Curious Things. Uncle Sam's postal rates are curious things. The other day a package was sent to the postoffice weighing three pounds and fifteen ounces and the clerk q,uoted a rate of thirty-one cents on it, saying at the time that if the package weighed four pounds it would go for nine cents. Thereupon the Advertiser man picked up a string from the floor and asked that it be weighed and was told that it weighed two ounces. He then tied the string around the package and had it all sent for nine cents.1 The two ounces of string, then reduced the expense of shipment twenty-two cents, making the value of the string eleven cents per ounce. That's rather nign iur suiiigs, even in this time of high prices, but, as already said, Uncle Sam's postal rates are curious things.?Laurens Advertiser. i In the construction of some new 215-ton locomotives for a western railroad, the weight is so evenly distributed that the strain on the track is far less than that of smaller engines.
