I .ate "thev-say" lies came thick and fast. We hope you turned a deaf ear to them. Again we ask, when are we to have a permanent secretary for our Chamber of Commerce? Whatever the result of the election, It cannot be charged that The Charleston Post did it. The Spartanburg Herald well says that the man who makes his "cross" : bears it without any fault of his. No pessimist can persuade us to his way of thinking. After all the business prospect is just what we make it. The result of the senatorial race will prove the gratitude or the ingratitude of the farmers of South Carolina. 1 Just how the war. which has forced price- up, could at tlie same time paralyze busini s, we are at a loss to understand.

The newsy little daily is a credit to the "Good Town" at all times, and its recent achievement is hut an added example of its enterprise. Whether there is less money or greater doubt of the outcome or whether after all, the world is growing better, it is hard to say, but whatever the reason, less money will change hands as a result of this primary than that of two years ago. The vloh -Ion of the neutrality of Belgium on the part of Germany 1h to he followed by the violation of the neutrality of the Dardanelles by Russia, all of which shows how Ineffectual are treaties when opportunity or necessity arises between nations. "Twenty-flve per cent of Spartan- j thus,'' says The Salisbury Post, "is j this,'' says The Salisbury Post, "is Bleaseism explained to the fullest." We would like to see this explanation from our North Carolina contemporary copied far and wide, for many In other states are seeking to' know the reason for our shame. - ?
