Let's begin to plant them Is spring going to pass by wUkou a town spring cleaning? Who cares if the weather man du miss his prediction for Easter? It's up to somebody to revive tin old-fashioned May Day picnic. Let's swat the demagogue ii South Carolina this summer just a: effectively as he was swatted in Ala bama last week. This spring of 1914 has furnishet rough weather and lots of it, but it also brought the loveliest Easter wt have ever known. The surprise is not that Kin* Alphonso believes in woman suffrage, but that the cause numberno many real men among its udvo cates. The Charleston I'ost says: "Winter is paying as many farewell calls this year as Patti used to and the divine Sarah still makes to the United States." j. If you have any building to do you'd better got your lumber for the gubernatorial platforms are being erected at a rate calculated to consume millions of feet of building material. "Every progressive town should have a progressive chamber of commerce," says The Chester News. Why, we thought every progressive town had. What's the matter with Chester? How disappointed the Society for the Prevention of Easter Decoration must have been that the weattior was not such as to help along their good work. Harold Hooker wants to know a ho .was the Ruy that put the led in Ledger? IH our opinion it was the editor of The (Jaffney Ledger, Mr. Ed 11. I)e Camp. A wonderful record is that of tin New York subway for the past nine years. During this period 2,1 i?8, 000,000 people have been transport ed without a single fatality. Other states are speculating var lously about what kind of weathei they may expect this summer, but i the Itl-netir?st tentlnno i\f nuf "" -1' political aspirants are to be credited we are sure of a "hot time" here ii South Carolina. In Missouri the women find i necessary to show the men v ha good roads are like by forming pick and shovel brigade and gettln down to work. Again we are gla we are not from Missouri. That Philadelphia professor wh insists that simplified spelling woul save the country $100,000,00 and b worth two years in the education < a child, must have struck a sua when he tried to master the old bin back spelling book. The advocates of free tolls ft coastwise ships are very fond t asking the question. "Who bougl and paid for the canal?" to whit The Columbia Record makes answ< thus: "Not the corporations thi own these ships that will make mo use of It and that propose to use without helping to keep it up" . n tiif.

We extend jur heart/ eoi gratulations to Messers. Watson an Hailey upon their signal success. The article on "Compulsory Kdi O cation in the Southern States," b 10 l'rof. W. 11. Hand, published in ou "" last issue, contains argument which no opponent can answer. W hope every one of our readers gav thoughtful consideration to the bu letin, for the subject was dealt wit masterfully. It is not enough thsi good schools be organized. We nee a law which will compel attendant upon them. Nothing else is so in portant for South Carolinians a the enactment of a compulsory ai tendance law. In it lies the grea hope of bettering the state. Witho'i it, progress is impossible. = i A ureenvtlle jury rendered :i vet diet for $2,000 against the tount ? the other day because a farmer \va il fatally injured on a piece of ba i. 'road. lie was hauling a load o | brick when the wagon overturned i resulting in injuries which causei j the farmer's death. How mud better to spend the. country's fund 1 on good roads rather than on dam I age suits. a A fine example has been set tlv town authorities by certain Lancas I ter housekeepers, who during th< i past week, have been chasing dir s from their homes and premises . Surely the town will heed it. In ur ging the necessity for like campaigt | for the town we are but e: 1 pressing a popular demam l and will gladly tell the city fatheri > the suggestions we have heard. The Newberry Observer suggest! , that the gubernatorial candidates b< limited to one joke each and Th< . Edgefield Advertiser amends thh suggestion by proposing that the as pirants be also limited to one handful of mud each. Iloth ideas are well worthy of consideration at the approaching convention. 1 May Stewart, Militant Refuses to b* j Tried; Creates Disturbance.
