The "scratching" of unworthy candidates will give many a voter a ?thrill of satisfaction. . . * . The last public word has been spo ien by Edgefield candidates. The voters will make the next move. . .. In a few days all that will be left of the campaign will be the "paign" caused by the scratching of voters. ? * * * Take your mental scales along .with you to the polls and weigh every man before making ont your ticket, scratching those who fall fur thest below the 100 per cent stan dard. . * * * Two Branches of Government. In the election next Tuesday men to serve in two branches of the state government will be selected. If good men are chosen, the state will steadily move forward but if bad, unworthy men are selected, the state's progress will be impeded. First, a governor or chief execu tive officer will be chosen. If a for ward looking man, a man with breadth of vision and high ideals is chosen the people will have no cause for regret. On the contrary, if a man who is regarded as a friend of the lawless and criminal element of our citizenship is chosen a disrespect and disregard for law will be engender- j ed, which will make very much worse an already bad situation. We have not yet recovered from the reaction following the war and the restora-^j tion of a normal status will be great ly hindered if a man of low stand ards and low ideals is selected for this high office. Second, a majority of the mem bers of the general assembly, the law making branch of the state, will be chosen. We need now, more than for a long time, men of a high type to serve in this capacity. While we must economize in public affairs, yet we should not adopt a policy of false e conomy. We need men of character, men of clear vision, men of ability, and sober minded (and also sober) bodied) men. No where is a drinking man more of a nuisance or misfit than in the legislative halls. He not only makes a disgraceful spectacle of himself and hinders legislation but he reflects upon his county and constituency. Yes, more than ever we need men in the legislature who are sane, sober and altogether de pendable. A Good Friend. A good friend stands by you when m need. Edgefield people tell how Dozn's Kidney Pills have stood the test. T. J. Paul, of Jeter St., P. 0. 3ox 176, endorsed Doan's seven .jyears ago and again confirms the story. Could you ask for more con .wincing testimony? "My kidney trouble was brought on by my being on my feet continu .ally," says Mr. Paul. "I had a dull pain in my back and tired easily. My back was sore and stiff when I was on my feet long. My rest was often broken at night, my kidneys .acted so frequently. I procured Doan's Kidney Pills at Holstein's .Drug store and they cured me of the .trouble." <On February 3, 1922, Mr. Paul added: "I have'nt needed a kidney remedy since Doan's Kidney Pills cured me. I gladly confirm all I said in praise of Dean's." 60c, at all dealers. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfgrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Booker Washington's Jokes. The editor of this column once heard Booker T. Washington in an address before the National Sunday School Convention, meeting in Louis ville, Ky. He recalls two good stories told on the occasion by this greatest of Negro speakers. He began by saynig that he had often spoken in Louisville and might now repeat things he had said be fore. He might find himself in the fix illustrated by the incident when ie was called to. help to settle a dis pute in a Negro church near Tuske gee. He found the dispute was over "paying the preacher." He at once undertook to explain . the duty of paying the preacher, and every few moments a deacon on the front bench interrupted with the words, "Ain't gwine pay him no more dis year." at last Washington turned to him and asked, "Why don't you pay him any more this year?" The reply came promptly, "Cause we done paid him for dem same sermons last year." It is altogether likely that white congregations pay for the same sermons more than once. Booker Washington also told his audience that on his way to Louis ville he met a white man on the train who was a great friend, and that when he found that he was to speak to a great national convention he said to him, "Now Washington, I want you in your speech to tell those Northern people that the South was not responsible for African sjavery, that the North brought the slaves from Africa and sold them to the Southeners." "Now," said Washing ton, "my attitude toward that ques tion is like Uncle Mose and his shoat. Uncle Mose had a shoat and one morning a white man came by and bought it for $3.50. The shoat, turn ed loose in the yard of the new own er, soon got out and went back to Uncle Mose. That afternoon another man, neighbor to the first, came along and seeing the shoat, made a trade with Uncle Mose and gave him $3.50 for the pig. Late that evening the first man seeing the shoat in his neighbor's yard went over and claim ed it. There was a dispute, each claiming that he had bought the hog and paid $3.50 for it. So they decid ed to referthe matter to Uncle Mose. When they reached the Negro's cab in the first man said, "Uncle Mose, didn't I buy that shoat from you this morning and give you $3.50 for it?" "Yes, boss, you show did." The sec ond man said, "But Uncle Mose, didn't I buy that shoat from you this afternoon and give you $3.50 for it?" "Yes, boss, you show did." Said the first man, "Now tell us then whose shoat it is." Uncle Mose hesi tated, loked embarrassed, and then with a smile of humor said, "Now look here, white folks, can't you two got off to your selfs and settle dat question?" Booker Washington then said to his audience that the ques tion of responsibility for Negro sla very didn't interest him, and he was perfectly willing for the white folks to get off to themselves and settle it.-Dr. Dill in Baptist Courier.

"Thy Will Be Done" There are shadows dark that shut out the light That shines in the life of all, There are sorrows deep sorrows that come with the night, And hang o'er us like a pall, But hope whispers sweetly and faith holds its sway, Tho' the heart be stricken and sore, As we remember the promise "though rough be the way I'm with you now and evermore." And promise after promise comes afresh to our minds As a smile chases sorrow away, And through our tears we see the rainbow as it winds Across the clouds, with colors so gay And as we quicken anew for our mission and task, A new light dawns over the hills, For just now we recall, that we can only ask He gives and takes as He wills.

The Pick of The Lot. For some reason or other it seems to be permitted to newspapers in South Carolina to advocate or oppose candidates for governor, but if the newspapers go below or beyond that office a great breach of propriety is committed and the newspaper is regarded as a great offender-by the other candidates affected. This newspaper does not know whether it is called upon just at this time to take advantage of even what is permitted it to say, but will say it anyhow. And it is this, that in its opinion McLeod is the pick of tho lot for governor.-Greenwood Index Journal.
