The saying is every day repeated that in the contest for United States senator Mr. Lever has ^no chanc-3 whatever of success. A curious and suggestive thing in connection with it is that it has never v fceen observed outside of the columns ; of Bleaseite newspapers.?The State.! Really we have not read the newspapers very closely lately, but we did not know that the Cohimbia Recnvrl nr>rl the Drancohnrc Timps: sin/i ~ 0 ^ - ^**v* Democrat and the Greenwood Index, and possibly some others, had been added to the Bleasite papers. Now, we may be mistaken, but as we hava read these papers, we admit not very critically, they seem ta be of the opin- j ion, unless we have misinterpreted what they said, that Mr. Tillman will "be elected, and that'would mean that Mr. Lever has no chance. Really we have not read a very great deal o? optimism in The State in regard to #Mr. Lever and his certain election, j Ccfl. Bertram T. Clayton, an Alabama veteran of the Spainsh-Ameri-1 can war, was killed by an enemy aerial bom'b in France Tuesday white he was serving his country. His brother. United States Judge Henry { D. Clayton, was holding court in Montgomery at the time and at the opening next morning said of his "brother: . "He pleaded to go into service in France. He would not have had it otherwise, and I would not have j had it otherwise. He died the death i l of a soldier. It has been suggested that the court recess at this time, but; any brother would say, 'You are on, the firing line?<ro on?hold the for*..' J hate pro-Germans more than I hato the devil. I hate the German assassin in the fighting field less than the j pro-German" in America. I hope the . authorities will not dictate after the I war that we shall be overzealous to j "be forgiving, for Germany must pay i the penalty. I believe that when; Christianity asks us to forgive our enemies it mer.ns we are first to lick them, then forgive. I approve of the organization of the 1,800 men formed in Birmingham with the endorsement of the Department of Justice to aid the government in watching for the pro-German." The gallows is tha only safe place for the pro-German in this country?every one ought to he hung or driven ofl^ this^continent. ?Greenville News. True you are. There is no place here for the German smypathizer er the German propaganda, and there should something be done with the purely wind-jammer, the fellow who does nothing but talks and lets the other fellow do the work. Mr. Rhett Dut it nlainlv and stronsr ly in his admirable address at the court house last Wednesday night, j He said the boys who are doing ; their life on the firing line, if ordered j to go over the too and they refused, i they would be taken out and shot, j He "i 'vhen the fellow is ordered to save food and conserve so that the ! boys over there may be fed and clothed and clips around the corner, j nothing done with him. It is just j as important a part of this game to ; win the war and lick Germany that i we buy War Savings stamps and con- 1 tri^"tp to t*e Red Cross and con-, servp food as it is to shoot and go ; S over the ton, and the fellow over here who simply windjams and runs j arfnd the corner when called upon to do something worth while in the ! "big game of war. deserves to be, treated just the same as the fellow who when ordered to go over the top refuses. Where's the difference. Except the fellow over here "who re- j fuses is deserving of the greater con- j tempt. This is a time for cooperation j and for doing something, and there: is not much need of so much windjamming. j mm i Hon R. G. Rhett made a fine speech on Wednesday night in the court hquse on the War Saving? campaign which is to start next week. We wish : the speech could have been heard by j fnore of our people. We are satisfied that if we could have speeches such as he made made all over the county < the job of selling these stamps would < be much ea?iftr. South Carolina ha? [ a big iob trf come up to her apportion - j ment in this drive, but we feel that she will. In Newberry county, as we -understood Mr. Rhett, we are to sell ^ $350,000 of these stamps in this drive That is more than our apportionment * of the third Liberty loan but.iXewtwott /r.tiTitod r?r? tn r?r> >ripr s It- K v r#~ V.

It < < i woe r?vint??rl in the. lflct i^ne of thP I i : paper. Incidentally and very appro- { j priately Dr. Harms made some very j striking and very forceful and very ^ : true remarks about cannibals and i ; cannibalism. These cannibals that t f stab you in the back, that talk about t you and say unkind things in whis- r pers which they have neither the courage nor the manhood .io speak out frankly and let the world hear. 1 The new registration of the men who have reached their majority since the last registration or within ^ the year who were registered the ^ other day will number about ten thousand in this state. The_^ two j. races are pretty near even in this ^ registration, 4,835 whites and 4,780 colored. I m c Our linotype machine worked contrary all day Monday and as a con- J sequence we have had to omit a good I deal of stuff that we would have been pleased to print in this issue, but we f can do only what we can and we can't help the machine becoming stubborn and refusing to do its part. Our operator did his and we have tried to do ours. We make this statement so that our readers may know j the reason if certain things are not J nrinforl trtflrjJT fTlPV 9M Innlvino- i for. ' ' b . c _ * """ d We have publisher] in several issues j, the American 'Creed and we are print- y ing in this iss'ie in connection with ^ it an article from Vigilantes making exnlanation of the creed and how it j came to he adonted and we think | v every one will >be interested in the I " readins: of the article. Read it and . r cut out the creed and memorize it and keep it in your. Bible. ^ If the roads just could be dragged it would help so much in keeping , them in some sort of shape so that v you could ride over them in some degree of ease and safety. But the cotton and corn need to be hoed and i plowed now and the farmer who has I a farm should be busy in it. ! \ We notice that Mr. Lever gives out an interview and says that he has run Blease off the stump (because Mr j Blease*says that 'he will not follow | the campaign party as outlined hy the State democratic executive comi mittee. There is nothing in the rules so far as we have seen which makes " i it compulsory on a candidate to at| tend the campaign meetings. They | are arranged for the benefit of the candidates and if some one or more , of the candidates does not care to ati tend there is nothing in the rules to j make him that we have seen. We are inclined to the opinion that it would have been wise to have had no cami paign this year at all, and let each j candidate take care of his own race. ; As to whether Mr. Lever has run ; Mr. Blease off the stump or not is another question. Mr. Blease has had a j : great deal of. experience as a cam; paigner and as a rough and tumble stump speaker you have to hand it to him that he has few equals on the stump. Mr. Lever has been fortunate or unfortunate as you look at it in not having much of that sort of campaigning to do. Somenow we can't neip out lee: that it is not exactly the right thing for able ibodied men and boys'to be riding around in big autamobiles just for the pleasure of it, when their labor is so much needed just at this time. And our boys are over there facing eternity every minute of their lives and enduring hardships that we know absolutely nothing of. Talk about patriotism and interning people for the period of the war it seems to us that the class here mentioned are the ones who should he dealt with. There is notning personal in tnis re- i mark, but it does <ret our ?oat just a little when we see these able bodied men and boys either idling or riding around just for the pleasure of the thing, and then think of our boys over there enduring what they are in suffering and privation for these fellows along with the rest of us, and there is such demand at this time for labor, - ? "* * ? ri/wi/tAwT'A ?r\ *? f ana SlU'll a cry lu vujisci iui li war. If the government is going to take hold of things it seems to us hore is t. good place to begin. Let the able bodied men and boys get out and do a man's work if they can't fight. Then they tell us *fhat there are thousands of able bodied young men in the departments at Washington sittine behind desks whose seat could be filled just as well or better bv a i>iri, but they are there because they have a pu]l. Let them get out o,nd wear ihe uniform for a purpose. Mr. Lever do the job lie has assigned o himself. Of course this lias no reference to lie man who is now doing a man's lob. because a little recreation is nee- , jssarv for mm to ao nis jod as it should be done, and if he can get the eereation out of a little drive in the afternoon and is able to do so it is ill right and proper, tbut. the fellow ?vho does nothing all day long and is to work should get to doing somehing worth while 'besides riding iround in his own or his dad's autonobile. j : i mm i | Home Demonstration Club.
