REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN WILCOX seems to be the original bonehead. "LIBERAL views on religion" is a po lite way of saying a ian hasn't much of it. So mn people call it being "lit up," when the fact of the business is it is putting out their lights THAT fellow Wilson seems to be a live wire. The people got in touch with him and couldn't turn him loose. SOMiEBODY has just put up a factory in Greenville to make Yam Nuts. There are already enough nuts in Greenville without making any more. MR. WLsoN is getting a great deal of advice just now about how to run this old ship of state during the next four years. Leave it to Woodrow. PI.:nIArs Chairman Wilcox of the national Republican committee is wait ing for the electoral votes to be counted on -January 8 before he is sure he is beaten. Miss RANKIN, who is the only woman member of congress, is red-haired, and of course she comes from No:th Caro lina, which state always claims all of the good things. "G. 0. P'. ni. C(ertain in (ongress" * --headlline in II encrSt papers. We imagine that is about as reliable as the election do1( in these papers "the morning after." IF this thing keeps up it will not be long until our farmers will be bringing a dozen cotton seed to town and swap ping them for sugar, coffee and tobacco, same as they do eggs nlow. LEr us insist uipon you NOT writing it "Xmas" when writing of Christmas. There is no such word as "Xmas" and it spells nothing. Besides, it is vulgar to try to make an "X " stand for Christ. TH. Anderson Mail says it cannot understand why The Pickens Sentinel - Pays Dunk Bo0tts for Hog9wallow News when its own Pumpkintown correspond ent has Dunk beat a mile. We don't pay him. OUnc new serial story will begin next week. We believe it will prove the most interesting story we have ever published and be a source of enjoyment to our readers. He sure to read the first chapters. BooKER of the Spar-tanburg Journal says he has a letter from l'ditor Gossett of the Tugaloo Tribune saying aside from having a headache, eye trouble, toothache, neuralgia and rheumatism, he felt p)retty wvell. Fom.IowvmNG is an extract fronm an ap preciated letter received last week: '"The Sentinel i~s the best now it ever has been, and it has beeni coming to my father's home and mine together foi about thirty-three years."

OUn WEEKLY RIDIE. - Why is nonsense to pretend that love is blint Because you nover' knewv a man in loi that did niot see ten times mor'e in hi sweetheart than others did.

THE following was contributed fo publication in The Sentinel: "The Cc lumbia State thought Hughes was th4 winning candidate on Wednesday aftei the election. A few days later when ii was found that Wilson was the winnei the State said it got its informatiori from the New York papers. We ac tually thought better of the State. We never expected nor do we expect any thing from the North but adverse criti cism and cold weather." OUR neighbors just across the line in the tenth congressional district of North Carolina have been represented in con gress the past two years by Mr. Britt, a republican; but this month they elect Mr. Weaver, a Democrat, to represent them. We offer congratulations. North Carolina's delegation of ten congress men will all be Democrats next year. We have often wondered why it is that the people of Transylvania, Hen derson, Polk and Rutherford counties in North Carolina are about half Re pubiicans, while their neighbors, friends and relatives, the same kind of people, who live in the adjoining counties in South Carolina are all Democrats, Important Notice On account of the increased cost of paper, type, ink, and everything else that goes into the making of a news paper, The Pickens Sentinel is forced to raise its subscription price to $1.50 per year. The new rate will go into effect Jan uary 1, 1917. In order to give our old subscribers and friends a chance to remain with us at the old price we will receive renewal and new subscriptions from now u:,til January 1 at $1.00 per year. We cen not, however, allow anyone to pay more than three years in udvance at the old rate We will be glad to have all who care to take advantage of our offer between now and January 1 and save the differ ence.

Death of Thomas Durham On the 10th day of November the entire community and friends elsewhere were shocked when they learned of the death of Thomas Durham. He died with measles, living only a few days after he was taken ill. He was given all physical aid that could be summoned, but none was -ufficient to stay the monster hand of death. He was 66 years of age and had been a member of Six Mile Baptist church several years and was a devout christian. He leaves a wife and four children to mourn for him. The day following his death funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. C. Atkinson, after which his body was laid to rest in the Six Mile cemetery. In sympathy we say to his loved ones to look to the giver of all good gifts, which passeth all our understanding. May the mantle of his gentleness and love and loyalty and unwavering faith and fearless manhood which seemed only to ripen with the burden of years. May it fall upon us who knew him and who loved him because we took note that he had sat much at the feet of the Master and had learned of Him; and in faith and loyalty may each of us in the great spiritual journey which he served faithfully and well and without any turning and wavering; in our last hours and in all the days till then be like unto him.
