Everything struck last week but the Western Union clock. Maybe Germany's chief objection to the treaty is that she can't sin aft er she signs. As is usually the case, the del xy in arraigning the ex-kaiser will end in a gross miscarriage of justice. "Something new in watermelons," says a headline. Like religion, the old time "million" is good enough for us. Mexico is still on the map. Don't you wish you could forget that this mundane sphere is afflicted with Mex ico? As both sides to the telegraph telephone strike are claiming a vic tory, it must have resulted in a "dog fall." Would that the pistol could be as eifectively disposed of as the bottle! Then we could justly beast of our civilization. As the League is causing Germans so much trouble, wonder why they want to enter it? Maybe they want to "bust" it up. The Press Association meets in Greenville just one clay before the nation-wide drought sets in. So it might have been worse. A Tennesseean died Tuesday at the ?ld age of 102 years. Wonder brand they are claiming he to prolong his life? All the wise men in the State, com monly called editors, will grow wiser by rubbing up against each other at their annual meeting in Greenville. Look for no decline yet in manu factured goods. As raw material de clines labor advances, so the high level cost of production remains un changed. Don't condemn all automobiles just because five bandits used one to speed away with $50,000 stolen from a Cleveland bank in broad open day light Monday. The highest evidence that official dom in Washington believe the Ger mans will eventually sign is found in the fact that 300,000 troops embark ed from France in May. It is a reflection on the citizenship of America that 300 extra trains will be run to Toledo, Ohio, July 4, on ac count of the heavy-weight prize fight scheduled for thar day. "The collector of internal revenue holds the brewers of the United States in the hollow of his hand," says Elihu Root. Well all we have to say is, we hope he will squelch 'em. The early history of the baby county, Allendale, has been written in blood. Let us hope that the old saying, "A bad beginning makes a good ending," will apply to Allendale county. ; Those I. W. W. fellows who adopt ed the slogan, "No beer, no work aft er July 1," had better pick up and go overseas where the brewers are clamoring for "more and better beer" in England. The farmer who sells his cotton now to be delivered next fall, what ever the price, may be made to feel very small at harvest time. He may, too, look, in the glass and exclaim, "Thou fool." The Press and Banner is doing good work in its efforts to stay the tide of lawlessness in Abbeville coun ty. It stands for the punishment of violators of the law, whether rich or poor, high or low, white or black, and the Press and Banner is right. W?V'Get Ever-?* With South. It ?oerns that the Republican ma jori., in congress will retaliate for the South's having been in the saddle for the past several years. One evi dence is found in the steps taken looking to the prevention of the pur chase of Southern Camps, Camp Jackson being among them The Re publicans in congress . not relish having such large sums of govern ment money paid out in the South, forgetting that practically all of the enormous pensions paid to Union sur vivors of the Civil War have been paid out in the North. Times Have Changed. There was a time when people, most people, scouted the idea having our courts impose a jail sentence, withouc option of fine, on violators of the prohibition law. But gradually public sentiment has changed to tr point of not only sanctioning su?. < sentences but demanding that they be imposed for flagrant violations. The sessions court of the new 'county of Allendale made a good rec ord by imposing ? sentence in the first case tried, that cf violating the prohibition law, of two months on the chaingang without option of fine. I More Warehouses Sh?uld Be Built. I Some people learned years ago I that generally a heavy loss is sus jtained by keeping cotton all winter and spring out in the weather but ?others did not learn the expensive lesson until the past season. Probably 'never before has there been such a widespread damage to cotton from exposure to weather as there was to the crop of 191S. This is due to two causes. First, there was a larger ?quantity of cotton held than usual and, second, to the excessive rain. Many who sustained loss from 'damaged cotton will soon begin to provide storage rooms on their farms or they will, if they hold cotton j j again, place it in warehouses in | . towns and cities. Some idea of the heavy loss sus- i j taine i can be gained from the foi-1 [lowing sent out by the State Ware-, .house Commissioner: "A farmer recently sold 16 bales i of cotton which were left in the weather after ginning. The rotten .weather damaged cotton in this lot amounted to 2,300 pounds, or over ?four bales. The loss in money a mounted to $690 at 30 cents a pound. This farmer could have ware housed his 16 bales in almost any warehouse in the State system, had there been room for it, for six years for $690 and at the same time it 'would have been insured against fire. "A second farmer disposed of 60 j bales of cotton a week or so ago on iwhich the "country damage" amount Led to 7,500 pounds, a loss at 30 cents ; 'a pound of $2,250. He might have put i his GO bales in a State warehouse, thus portecting it from the 'eather and against fire, kept it there for six 'months it lay rotting in his yard and ?save at least $1,818 of the $2,250 he ! ;lost."

Edgefield people are telling about it-telling of bad backs made sound again. You can believe the testimony of your own townspeo ple. They tell it for the benefit of you who are suffering. If your back aches, if you feel lame, sore and mis erable, if the kidneys act too fre quently, or passages are painful, $canty and off color, use Doan's Kid ney Pills, the remedy that has helped so many of your friends and neigh bors. Follow this Edgefield citizen's advice and give Doan's a chance to do the same for you. J. G. McNeill, Battle St., says: "Six years ago when I was living in Greenville, I was afflicted with a lameness in the small of my back, which was undoubtedly caused by my kidneys. My kidneys didn't act right, being sluggish. I got a box of Doan's Kidneg Pills and used them and they removed the trouble." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply .ask for a kidney remedy-get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mr. McNeill had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. A large shipment of Martha Wash ington oes in high and low cut.
