We feel sure that it is thoughtlessness,
tout nevertheless, it is a great
jauisance to meet the bright lights on
the approaching automobile at night
The light is simply blinding and there
should be some protection to the man
"who has no such light, yet must needs
use the highway. In most States ajid
-/~>n antnmohilfis must;
V i D UV/ii AlftliVO "V/** MM vw
be used with dimmers, when one is
approaching. This is a good law, and
should be universal. Thoughtless people
and vicious people cannot he
taught the spirit ol kindness^- The
only way to control them is by a law
that will make them do the decent
thing.?'Union Times.
' CAmotimoc wp are not so sure that

t
it is thoughtlessness that makes thes?"
i
toig headlight cars run with the glare
in your face. In fact, we have never j
been able to see the wisdom or tho:
j
use or the sense in these 'big head-!
lights which glare into the heavens,!
anyway. It seems to us that whatthsj
driver needs is the light on the road i
and not up in the skies. At any rate, j
it is just as the Times says, they areJ
a nuisance and should be dealt with as j
i
such if the owners of the cars have j
not enough consideration to dim them:
when they are meeting other cars in!
~ ' wnnrtpr urs there are;
*>WJ IXAXVt. i la** ?
i
aot more collisions. We always do
just as the Times says, stop until the
fellow with the big light goes by, if j
we happen to be driving at night,!
wMch we seldom do.
It seems to us that some one would J
s patent a device to throw the light !
4own on the road instead 01 up mw,
the heavens and then it would not b-3
?o bad.
With the number of cars now trav-j
v. -eling the roads there should be soma,
more strict observance of the rules]
<rf the road, if there are any rules, and
if there are none there should be
come. For instance, if a ear wishes
to pass another car our understand-j
ing is that the front car should drive,
to the right and the rear car come on j
on the left of the front car. Some- j
times we have had them to rush by U3 1
i_V
? xm the right without warning ami,
come very near running into us. And;
then the man in the rear car who;
wants to get by should sound a signal
to warn the front car that he de-j
'
sires to pass. Just a little thought- ;
fulness and the recognition of th? j
rights of the other fellow and a lit- J
tie consideration of him would solvt;
i
--J. K?laa !
-the whole problem witnoui * u.v,,
or laws, but there are so many peopl? i
who have no Tegard for the other fel-!
low that it seems necessary to havc j
Jaws and regulations to govern and;
) then it takes an army of officers to!
enforce them. It is unfortunate that!
it is true.

I
. We fully endorse the following tak- j
en from The Herajd and News on the;
fiction of che State Board. Now is)
|
the time to conserve, not waste mon-j
ey. We need a new State Board, onaj
that will study the interests of the
parents of the State and not the interests
of booksellers:
/ "The way in which the State board
of education made changes in tha
adoption of text books for the common
schools and added new books it
would seem that they did not know
that the war is on. They displaced
29 old books, adopted 23 ne.v ones to
n Hicnlar.ed and
take tne piace ui CUUJV U?wr.*.
then added 71 new books to the list
to meet the requirements of the
course of study. They had better
change seme of the requirements of
the course of study."?A. R. Presbyterian".
One of the members of the board
has said to us that this was not a just
criticism, that the new books were
w \
necessary to meet the requirements
of the new course of study. Then it
,1Q new course of
tv wo
etudy might be modified. The purpose
of the legislature in passing a law that
not more than fifty per cent of the
books could be changed was to save
the parents in the purchase of books.
To change 29 old books and put in 23 |
*ie* ones in their place and then aud
71 besides seems to us to be a pretty j
I good shake up in the matter of books,
! as the parents will find when thev
! come !o buy new books at the opening
oi' the schools.
The fact, is there is more in the
i teacher than in the text book an)
j way. And really th> re is not so mate*
j rial a difference in the merit of th<
! standard books. We have no doubt th<
i
; board did what it thought was -besi
' * ? +-Vi mnfirOD A'
: ana no out; qutsuvucu inc iiivn ?v
i the board. Sometimes when we se:
i
some of the children going to schoo
j with a whole load of books we are re
| minded of what we heard an educato!
J say on one occasion that they wer
j being taught by averdupois, or some;
thing like that.
I
| We have not seen the new history
j of South Carolina by Simms which
I has been adopted, bat there was cerI
tainlv need of a South Carolina hisI
i tory of the schools, but there was
i none. At the last adoption Chapman's
[was left off and a book adopted that
' was no history at all. It did have
! some good biographies of South Carolina
men in it, but did not purport to
be a history of the State.
From a statement which we print
today at the request of an army fecruitins:
officer it seems that the re
gulars are given much more consideration
and much better treatment
than is given the volunteer army or
those in the National Guard or those
who are to be drafted. We do not
understand why this should be so but
we reckon he knows what he is talk
ing about. Anyhow ne says get :n
now and you will get the best food
and the best care and if you don't
believe him you will know it later.
The national editorial association
has passed some resolutions asking
congress to give the federal commission
power to do something with the
paper trust and as a war measure to
ntroi* tho nanpr mills. Wonder
lO/VC W WUV WA -- - _
what has become of the res^ution
adopted by the South Carolina Press
association. * It did not go as far a3
this one but wanted something done
to give the commission power to
control and regulate the trust The
resolution was never published in the
accounts of the meeting of the asso
r
ciation but we presume the secretary
has sent a' copy to the members ot
congress from this state as provided in
the resolution. If the high price of
| paper is simply the result of a trust
then there should be some way to
stop it. If ihtre isn't then we should
know it.
Of course we print th6 letter af
"Veteran" -"n reply to an editorial
ifirom the Orangeburg Times and
Democrat in regard to the resolution
proposed at the Press Association and
upon which we made comment.
We confess that we are a little
confused v.s to what took pla<;e, since
receiving this letter, because we had
in mind that the wrfcer was not the
*- - Tf'Q A r* At
memoer 111 que&uuu, auu uv
recall that there was a member of the
associatiOL present who is a Confederate
veteran. M any rate, in what
we had to say there was nothing personal
mentioned and certainly nothing
personal, or at least offensively
| personal, intended. <We do not ques
| tion, and never did, the patriotism oi
| "Veteran" or any member of his fam|
ily. So far as we are concerned w?
! have three boys, two of whom aiv
I within the age, one has been in th<

j the call came for troops for the bor
der, and is now in the service, an(
the other is registered. If the gov

i '
| gladly take the place of either on<
| or both if they would permit it.
| We do not recall who introduced th<
resolution, but we remember that i
was suggested that a certain membej
prepare and forward the resolutior
and he remarked tbat some one wh<
was ''going as far as you like" witl:
the president better send it. That is
the point we desired to make, not sc
many resolutions but some going
And some doing. Fighting resolutions
and fighting editorials don't
bring down any Germans or taKe an>'

J
-j le seems from what the daily paper;
. :
'; are saying that Mr. Creel, the news
*j censor appoisted by the president, is
giving out the news that is not news
and fixing it so that it will arouse the
patriotic spirit. That the atack of the
i
; U-boats on the transports with troops
was not really made and that no fight
l:at all was had and that no U-boats
i
'i were sunk. Better give the people the
i
news as it is. Of course there are
; some things for the good of the army
, that should not be given but if there
are engagements better let the peopie
know about it and give the facts as
they are.

ask roa fbi
' go-as-far-as-you-Hke " suggestion
(and, by the way, his recollection is
nriirinatnrs nf thp sne-sresticm. "too
! but that point is immaterial) begs
! space for a few observations.
As your editorial states, there were
j two principals to this proposition 10
inform President Wilson that the editors
of South Carolina endorse his
course in the conduct of the war. The
iriginators of the suggestion, "too
I
young and bashful," to use his ownj
words, to make public utterance of his!
patriotic sentiments, is a venerable!
Confederate Veteran, whose sincerity!
and bravery are beyond question, andj
the one who was requested to propose!
j f
' the resolution is a "veteran" of the;
Spanish-American war, who volun-{
teered from his nat;v. city, Orange j
burg, at the first call of President;
McKinley for troops, May 5, 1898. (Re-1
j member that date, Messrs. Editors?) |
j At that time no thought was given bj j
those who volunteered to tne degree;
of danger that would be confronted ;j
it had not yet been discovered that i
. Spain was not a formidable foe (and,
I it makes one shudder even now to;
| think what probably would have hap-j
J pened had this country been ud1
] against a first-class power); so those'
who offered their services, and their;
lives, if need be, are no doubt, de-j
.senyn'g of at least slight credit. Anyway,
the writer did get as far as Cuba,|
and although it was too lata to face
bullets, that greater enemy of the;
soldier, disease, was abroad, making
service even in an army ol! occupation
is a very hazardous business.]

Why doesn't he enlist again? A
wife and three almost grown children,
with nobody else to support them, is
the answer, not to mention certain
physicial disabilities, "but, if
some patriotically inclined person
will agree to stand the^
cofct of putttlng this "go-as-far-asyou-like"
fellow in fit condition, he
will at least seriously consider entering
the second officers' trairiihg camp
at Fort Oglethorpe.
In conclusion: There are five
brothers of us. One is now in the
regular army of the United States,
stationed in the Phillipines but no
doubt soon to be in France;'another
is in the Second South Carolina Reg-^ 1
ilment, having seen service on the bocder
recently and who, also, is practically
certain to be sent to Europe; 1
the third is registered and ready to
serve if drafted, although married, the,
same as one of you, Messrs. Editors;
the remaining two of us are, at pres-i
| ent at least, not up to Uncle Sam's
I physical requirements.
The foregoing is given as a reply
to the last two paragraphs of your
.editorial, which read: ,
"Now, we could give the names of j
these men, and you would know each > '
j one of them, but what's the use? i
j only wanted to use the incident as the !
! means'of pointing out how: dissimilar
