I i If Mr. Lever withdraws from the senatorial race, or does not enter, and i Mr. Tillman can not make the can-1 vas and Mr. Blease will not attend the meetings there is not much use of the campaign as scheduled. Call it off. Then these are times when we should not do anything that will be caluculated to take the minds of our people from the one great purpose that should control them at this time, the winning of the war. This is no time for political agitation and the stirring up of the people. "We want every citizen to work in harmony with every other citizen for the welfare of the State, and political debates and harrangues by candidates for office will not contribute to that end. And "besides that the people are well enough acquainted with the men who aspire to the various offices to make a selection without this canvas of the State at this time. We would be glad to see the meetings so slimly attended that the candidates themselves would see the necessity of quitting the campaign and going home and announcing through the press of the State the offices they seek and telling the people who they are and their fitness for the job ant! then let the people go quietly to the - oils and cast their ballots and let us all resolve to stand by the majority without murmur or complaint. That's the way we see it and w?

We hold the same 4iew as to the State campaigns. The people are in ) frame of mind at this time to be listening to political harrangues. We want to see the offices filled fby men who are competent and of good character and loyal to the gov ernment, but we ibelieve that the people can make the selection just as well by doing- away with the State canvas. We do not see the Charleston Post but we understand that it carried a news item on Tuesday in which it was stated that President Wilson had asked Mr. Lever to withdraw from the senatorial race and retain his position as chairman of the committee on agriculture in the house. That is the advice we gave Mr. Lever before he entered the race for the sen -; ate and if he had listened to his real; friends he would not have been | nlaced in this awkward situation. , Now in order to retain that position in. the house the president will have to get these other gentlemen out of the race in Mr. Lever's district, or help Mr. Lever to win the fight over some five or six opponents which he J 1 J T__ 7 l 1 _ i wuum noi n<tve nau ii ne naa iisien ed to lis. We do not "know that it is true, but we heard it on pretty good authority on Wednesday. Gov. Manning seems to have made a mess of the whole business in his efforts at senator making. OUR MAILING 1,1 ST. It has been our purpose to keep our mailing list on a cash basis and i? we should send the paper to any on&- who has not paid and he does : nrvt want it rnntimiprl Irvcc will I "be ours. Of course we would like to iptain all of our subscribers but it is not our purpose to undertake to j force the paper on any one who does not want it and as we say if it has been continued to any one whose time is out and he does not want to lenew the ^oss will be ours. We are going to correct it after this issue and will take off the names! /-? f nil V* rvn a 4- i /\ 1 n /Mi f r\ i li A ui ail vv ixust; inuc is uui pi iui iu mr; first of June and then next week wa "will take off those whose time is out the first of June. We somehow have not "been able to keep up with the list as we in- ; tended but these seem to be very pn-' culiar times and there is so much to do and so many things succeeding i one another that we just have not *?een able to keep up. We reckon wo jhave "been unable to adjust ourselves to the fast changing of the times. We are publishing this statement 1 . so that no one may be taken un- ' aware whose time may be out and , thus miss a paper.

I have had the same pleasure every year since the high school was established | at this place. In fact, I had a little part in the establishment of the high school and changing the school from ; an ordinary common school with j three teachers to a high school with i j at the present time nine teachers, . and it has only been a very few j years since the change was made. ! And it has been a great and a real I pleasure to me to watch this school i grow and prosper. And to see what ! a good influence it has had on the , community. i i ?a~ j Prof. C. IB. Hanna has been the beloved superintendent for the past several years, loved by the pupils and patrons as well. Some three months or more ago he felt the call of his country and offered for work with the Y. M. C. A. and was accepted, i and is now stationed at Camp Jackson. He was present at the closing , on Monday and presented the diplo mas to the young people who had finished the tenth grade, eight in all. ! ?o? ! i When Mr. Hanna decided to go to I the army work the trustees secured the services of Miss Irene Dillard who had been teaching music in the school, to take up the work of the superintendent and finish out the i year. She is highly educated, has experieence as a teacher, is tactful and diplomatic and knows how to do things. The pity is that the trustees can not retain her services. But sne is going to take a 'postgraduate course in a university in New York and had just ibeen resting at her home in Clinton when she was induced about the first of the year to ! go ever to Whitmire and take up the music work for the school and later the superintendency. To be perfectly frank I do not know that I ever met any one who in so short a time impressed me so favorably with her ability to handle the school in an ef ficient and capable manner as did Miss Dillard, if she will pardon me for saying it. And she had good and competent assistants. I understand that Mr. Wright is to succeed in the work at Whitmire. There were eight- youn^ people to 'finish the work at Whitmire this year. Seven girls and one 1)oy. All of them rook pare in the public exercises. The young man, Thomas Herbert Watson, Jr., was president of the crass and salutatorian and second honor and introduced the others. He is the same who came to 'Newberry with the boy scouts and was introduced as the cantain of the scouts who ha ? the honor to receive a fla? from Pre dent Wilson for having sold more of the second Liberty loan bonds than any company in the State. Prof. Hanna w^; the captain but at that time (Mr. Hanna had left for the service He is a manly fellow, had to be to go^througn school with such a bevy of pretty and bright girls and thf> nnlv how and a son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Watson. The first honor went to Miss Flos- i sie Spray who delivered the valedictory. j The others who read papers and j their subjects were: Miss Grace 'Holt?Class Poet. Miss Lois Tidmarsh?Class Histor- j ian. Miss Annie Lou Payne?Lawyer, ; Who Wrote the Class Will. Miss Bessie Garvin?Class Proph- > ecy. Miss Dorothy Watson?Class Punster. Miss Vara Brown?Class Statistician. A number of buttons were given to ' pupils for perfect attendance. The only medal was the Auil Essay medal given by E. H. Aull to tnat j member of the class that would write ' the best composition on a subject as- j signed. The writing of the essay to 1 be a part of the work required to re- j ceive the diploma. The subject assigned this year was, I "Why T Should Purchase a War Sav- j ings Stamp." Miss Dillard kindly in-! vited me to deliver the medal to the ! successful contestant which I did. flceavii Muoro. UDOn bv the J M. UV K/OCU T C if v * v 1 professor of English at Clinton col- j lege and the committee decided that the essay written by Miss Flossie Spray was entitled to the medal witlf honorable mention of the essay written by Mr. T. H. Watson. The papers read by all the members of the class were well written j and bore evidence of originality. ; ?o- - ' fof: It was a most pleasant evening and , . bil (leliglifnl trip and made more so Inhaving the pleasure of the company of my friend B. 13. Leitzsey to go ? with me. 1 went in Mr. Sam John son's transfer and he gave me Mr. David Hayes as driver a'r.d he drove , carefully and we had no trouble aty nM. Ther* had been rain the afternoon a* Whitmire and for several i miles on this side and right here in j Xewberrv tvt the roads were not bad i ar?d the rain made the evening that i much more pleasant for such n trip. | On the return we stopped at Mr I Leitzsev's to get some water and found that that good wife of his had left the table set and on it was pome of that good country ham, and so i we had a good meal, and I am sine I enjoyed it. 'but I believe that David Hayes reallv enjoyed that meal more j than any of us. and T am sure he , would like for Mrs. Leitzsev to know just how onuch he appreciated it, ! and so T am going to tell her. I enj joyed it because after riding thirty miles and trying to make a little speech as I did I felt like eating and that ham was good. E. H. A im Prof. Yoigt Gone. > Prof. Gilbert P.

We had henrd that he would remain here and had (just written thrt "the p?ople of Xewberrv and friends everywhere will be delighted to know that Prof. Gilbert P. Voigt has reconsidered the matter and win remain with Newberry college." Now to onr regret we have to recall thax. sentence. Prof. Voigt left Saturday for Columbia to spend a couple of weeks vwth home folks (before proceeding to iBlue Ridge. A great big portion of the large community heart sioes with him.
