It of is the Constitution and the Union- ere; one and inseparable, and "America has First." Soi ~ stal Was it four hundred electoral vot- put es, or four hundred votes, the Spar- ly r tanburg Journal told its readers, I whom it undertakes to advise, that 0ut n 1J 1 O j_ VjOX wuuiu nave ; | at i lica Mr. Wilson, should have made the j Sou issue of falsifying between himself j his. and Senator Spencer depend on the abo result in South Carolina rather than1 to i on the result in Missouri, though he be < sought even when he chose Missouri ed to take an unfair advantage. cffi< ?? seel We believe it was Mr. Lincoln who 0nl; said, "You can fool all of the people mei some of the time, and some of the vie^ people all of the time, but not all of wh< the people all of the time." But then tell Mr. Wilson thought he knew more gUa than Mr. Lincoln. A gentleman with not a fairly good reputation for wisdom jnst said, 'In the multitude of counsel- j beli lors there is wisdom," but Mr. Wilson i the was not living when Solomon estab- and lished a reputation for being "the be wise man." peo on Mr. Bryan suggests that Mr. Wilson ^ resign, making Mr. Marshall presi- war dent, and that Mr. Marshall then ap- wjt] point Mr. Harding Secretary of State ^.Qr and himself resign, thus making Mr. ejej I Harding president at once. Overlook- js j ing the fact that both Mr. Wilson and C?)n Mr. Marshall claim to be democrats gQV and that democrats do not resign, CQU "may we not" suggest that Mr. Harding might refuse to accept the office of president, forcing Mr. Bryan to sue take the job himself for awhile. v AN OPPORTUNITY. It would not be fair to say that ^ there is prejudice in the republican froi party against anything Southern with- ner out saying at the same time that be j there is prejudice in the South against woi anything republican. It would not be whs fair to say that New England looks c?u with contempt and suspicion upon goo Southern men unless we stated at the goo same time that the South hates, and C has always hated, a New England stat yankee. timi These people who would like to see firsl sectional feeling wiped out in the ear] country may not expect to do so un- whi less we can wipe out this feeling in star all sections. The New England man of < cannot complain of the hate and pre- spei judice against him as a New England- drei er so long as he has the same opinion belt of the South. No more can the South wer expect the New Englander to look whe with favor and brotherly love on this sup section when we continue to abuse the; and villify the men from that section, reai We all, in the South, in New England, thai and in other parts of the country need sati a broader vision and a more perfect and understanding of each other. We {Pre need to travel. (fine But there is a difference not only! sho in the point of view, but in the views, villi of republicans from New England udi and men of the same party from the in 1 great Western countiy. We cannot the forget that the two best men, as chil men who have occupied the White one House in recent years, men of fair ent: minds and big hearts, and a love for ] goo the whole country, have come out of sch Ohio, Mr. McKinley and Mr. Taft. wit Mr. Harding too comes from Ohio. tha Those people who have been saying cat: that Mr. Harding will not be presi- day dent, we think, misjudge the man. tha That he will take counsel of the men con of his own party, we have no fJoubt, aw; but when it comes to matters of goo justice and conscience, we expect Mr. its Harding to be as big as either Mc- see Kinley or Taft. We shall be much dis- pro appointed if he does not so prove, j in The interviews which have been you j :n out by the president-elect, ai public utterances give ground f hope. Only a few days ago a cc pondent for the New York Hera :ed with Mr. Harding, and in t versation, the correspondent i ided him that the people of t ntry generally regarded him counterpart of Mr. McKinley. ' ; Mr. Harding jestingly replied t, but he went on to say that thing he hoped to prove a wort cessor of McKinley. The work t i by McKinley in wiping out s< e?1: ?:J icu nc saiu, 11c nvycu sh. Other statements by him ha icated that Mr. Harding has dly feeling for this and all oth tions. His mind we believe to ha judicial bent of that of Mr. Ta Ind the South has taken him word. In every state in the uni tost, and in nearly all the stal the South there has been an i ase in the republican/Vote. The not been so much increase ith Carolina as in other Southe ;es because there is in fact no i ilican party in this state, certai lone to speak of. Jut if Mr. Harding desires to wi sectional feeling in the South a: he same time to build up a repu ,n party in the South, and even ith Carolina, the opportunity The people more and more hei ut have shown that they are op eason. Neither of these things c; done through a republican so-ca party composed of those seekii :es for themselves and which par ks to appeal to the ignorant. It c; y be done by giving heed to tho i in the state with republic, .vs, who do not want office, ai ) are prepared to appeal to the i igent voters of the South with rantee that Southern people a to be humiliated and Southe ;itutions ignored. Every fair m, eves, whether in the North or South, that the just sentimer judgment of the people cann shocked and outraged and the pie be expected to look with fav any man or any party. Ve repeat that if Mr. Hardi: its to follow McKinley and Ta h the prestige of the greatest v f ever recorded in a president! :tion behind him, the opportuni lis. The people here are for t stitution and the union, for a ji ernment in every section of t ntry, executed in every village a: llet in the North and South ali the fair and intelligent citizens h communities. "GOOD COMMUNITIES." Ve copy an editorial in this iss si the Abbeville Press and Ba on this subject, and we wou jlad if every reader of this pap ild read this article. It is ju it we have been preaching in tl nty for a long time. To have d community you must have d school in that community, lid Abbeville county, the home esmen and big men of the o e and of colleges and among t! ; to have real good schools in tl iy days, according to some figur ch we printed in the last issu ids today at the bottom of the li :ounties in the per capita amou it in the education of the ch n of the county, and considerab XI ) w liic avciagc iui uiic abate. v e surprised to see the figur :n they were printed by the sta erintendent of education, ai y attracted our attention for t son that they were a surpris t this grand old county would sfied to remain in that positio we do not wonder that the go< ss and Banner would write t : article to which we refer, uld arouse the people of Abt e to action. Ignorance and pr( ce are keeping many communiti :he state in the background, ai great pity is that the innoce dren of these communities are t s who suffer, because their p? s will not see the advantage of d school, and realize that a go ool can not be had in these da hout the spending of money, ai t money spent in the proper ed ion of the boys and girls of tl is the best money investme t they can make. Go into ai lmunity where the people ha ikened to the importance of d school and have voted taxes f maintenance, and you can soi the evidences of progress and ii vement. And yet strange to s some of these communities evi : will find some of the people w id are still complaining about paying i or taxes for better schools. But they I >r- do not complain very loud and their ;ld: grumbling does not amount to very he i much. :e-| In our own good county of Newhe ! berry every school district has a speas! cial tax for the school, but there are ro I some of the communities in which in j the school conditions could be greatin! ly improved if the people could only hyj just be made to see the way to do it, >e-1 and could get rid of some of the seljc-1 fishness to which all human nature to I is heir in more or less degree, and ve I when they come to consider the a school, would let the best interest of ier the children of the community be the ve supreme thought and the supreme deft. sire. We are moving forward and a? the average for the county in money on spent for schools is above the aver;es age for the state, but mighty little ln_ above. We hope to see it raised conre siderably very soon.?Newberry Herjn aid and News. rn e- v v n- K * :V DONALDS V V V pe b- Mr. W. H.
