Is spring going to pass by wUkou

Who cares if the weather man du

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

This spring of 1914 has furnishet
rough weather and lots of it, but it
also brought the loveliest Easter wt

The surprise is not that Kin*
Alphonso believes in woman suffrage,
but that the cause numberno
many real men among its udvo

The Charleston I'ost says: "Winter
is paying as many farewell calls
this year as Patti used to and 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

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

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

asking the question. "Who bougl

The Columbia Record makes answ<
