Greneker our local re ^ porter has gone off Tor the red hill s of Laurens county to take a week o w much needed rest. He says ne is g:-? t< ing to remain in the country and i 3>( p nothing but eat fried chicken and re , n and sleep.

Mr. Gren f eker is a faithful and conscientiou ti "worker and has few equals as a gratu ^ erer and collector of local happening fo and he knows how to dish them oitj y, so as to make them palatable. <j Jiope he may enjoy his rest and cor.# tl vback fresh and rigorously actire ftr aj bis duties.

We have misplac- A .. . I * ed the paper and can not, therefore' quote the paragraph exactly, but thi j ^ is about the substance of it. j K While not saying so it could hav j j reference to none other than ConJ ? gressman Fred Dominick, who was \ tc former assistant' attorney general > ir This is not the first time that the ?j( Record has gone out of its way to a] make a fling a~t Mr. Dominick. W* CJ love an open and bold and fearless sj fighter, but these insinuators and tl suggeetors, we never did have mucii p< opinion of them. Now, we do not be- aj lieve that the Record can get Mr. Ik ! Peoples to substantiate its statemei.ti Ifciat he called down Mr. Dominick1 w * _ \ for his pro-German talk while he was assistant attorney general. Because wa w know that if he had undertaken to p; call down Mr. Dominick for his opin* s{ ioa and had unertaken to put the ga* ti] law on him it would have beea 01 promptly resented and Mr. DominicJc P? *ould have given Mr. Peeples his re* W uignation and probably some other' us ^ngs. to And besides that, some of the loud?< w] I . ^ est anti-German orators that we have m now were strong pro-German sympa- to . tJnVprs a Inns about: that time.

That means being liberally translai d, that in your opinion Mr. Lever ha etter go back to congress from his ens rict than take chances on going to tn enate. We agree with you, and ,'ould go advise iMr. Lever if he wer :> ask us for advice, which he wi.] robably not uo. He is a very useiu ian in Washington now, and is 1 ational figure and can do a grea eal more service to his country :a he house than he could for severa ears even were he to goto the sen te, which going is very doubtful 'act is, there is considerable oppost ion to Mr. Lever in some parts vt is district, but that will probab:* low over before the election nex ear. It would be a mistake for h!* nrvt tA cpnrt him bflf.l* pyf-l lough they did not endorse his pr> Ition oh some things.

I button which he had, and for a time ; ' all was well, says London Tit-Bits, j ' One night, however, he thought the roll looked rather shorter than when ' he left It, and yet the impression of a I button was there right enough. I Then summoning his landlady, he j said: ji ! "This Is not my butter, Mrs. Scott" ; "Oh, yes, it is, Mr. Wild; there's the j! mark of the button on it." "Just so, Mrs. Scott; but, bless me, | this button belongs to quite a differ- j ent regiment from mine. Yours be- j longs to the B. A. T.; mine to the R. A. M.
