July 26. 191S. ? ??? ?? i What is being done about cur roat crossings and the money we were t( get as our share of the automobih tax? If the State Highway commis sion is doing anything toward spend ing the portion of the money New "berry was to set we have not heart of it. If something is not to he don1 in the matter of removing the grad< crossings why not get the mone] Newberry is entitled to and spend i VU sujiie uljuci j uau : We notice from the Greenville New; tliat Blease had 3,000 people out tc his meeting at Branwood "mills am" that 99 per cent of them were for Biease, and that at the Spartanburg meeting acording to the Journal ther^ were 4,000 present at his meeting or Saturday night though the Journal says that 99 per cent were not for Blease. That's a pretty good bunch of people to attend two political meetings. Must be a good number oj disloyals over in Greenville and Spar, tanburg according to the test pui down by certain newspapers and can didates. But'we will bet our lasl summer r,anama that they are loya and true as any Americans. President Wilson is quoted as say i?sr in his fifth annual message tc congress December 4, 1937: "Out present and immediate task is to wir the war, and nothing shall turn u? a*ide from it until it is accomplish. v ed." That is what we have been savin* all the time. It is not an issue, i1 if a task we have set before us. Ant ? * U J ; a.i gooa Americans cijc u^uumg their energies to the accomplishmen of the task. And not wasting then talking about issues. >i/ We can not see why Mr. Bleas< wants to criticise or speak disparing ly of the Manning boys who have en listed in the army. They are to b( commended, and Go\\ Manning has i right to be proud of them. If the: "have secured offices so much th< Detter tor rnem, we ao uictiut any boy for sretting an office if he can in the army. Of course there have to be privates in order to mato up an army, .but there is no just righ1 for the criticism of any bov for se curing an office if he can. He i: rather to ibe commended, and an of. See does not mean that he is immune from danger, because if he be an officer worthy the name of an office! he should lead his men. and if he does not we imagine that he will not long hold the office. We try to be fair and just always, and to giv* every one credit for what he deserves. And we can't help saying this about the Manning boys. We do nol know them but it is a great privilege . to have five or six bovs to respond i voluntarily when the country calls and we congratulate JVIr. .Manning because we believe this is a race tc be run by twos and twos and not by ones and ones. Up around Ware Shoals last week some fellows who were bent on de stroving a liquor still, we supposthev were officers, tore un a water ram of some farmer in that neighbor hood. He advertises that if they wil] return his ram he will not prosecute and will not say anything more about it. Old man hooze seems to be in bad repute and anything that in the least resembles the old fellow is in danger of destruction. The editor of The Newberry Herald and News resents the campaign which Senator Benet and Mr. Pollock are conducting. So does Mr. Blease. But my! How the voters do like it.? Columbia Record. The voters really seem to be cna amed ana aee-ngutea. we uuuue from the reports of the meetings in the Columbia tSate that in a county like Horry for instance where thev have some four or five thousand voters that some two hundred charmed voters attended the campaign meeting and this is unmistakable evidence of their dee-light. Eh? The Hprald and News flop?; not resent the campaign but we do not approve it. iMBLPn These be times when there is neer for men in the lead: but according tc the newspaper reports, those who are asnirins: to the highest elective offices ^tate and national, are comporting themselves in a manner that would not-he creditable to children. The issue seems to be. not what you stand ov* what have yon to propose- but w*o do you propose to vote for. ft '*c not a question of what you have to t J say yc.T?elf: bm do you approve o: ' disapprove what seme one else ha; | sa?d?

But fitness?why that ir the last Question a great many whon t we denominate as intelligent voter ever consider. How is the candidal going to vote in some other and al j j together different race, that is th< > burning question. ! And here is another parajrrapi from the same paper which i!lu,s; trates the point more clearly anc ! shows its foolishness: ! "Christie Benet, are. you going t< ^ vote for Blease?" ' j "Huh. vote for Blease nothin't N< ' decent man would vote for Blease!' ' "Hurrah for Christie Benet. He': ' the man because he won't vote foi - Blease.',' t "T. H.

"He's a Bleasite and disloyal t< > his country (because he won't exprtfs: * himself." 1 'Now. is this kind of thing not cal 5 culated to make us feel proud of oui - country?this condition under whicl a man is qualified or disqualified ac ': cording to whether he is going to vot< - I for or against some other man? i vVhy any kind of an idiot might b< 1 elected to office on that basis. ?.! i> * ! 1 : { The truth of the matter is we d( ' - -* - .i _ i? ^ A r\i x,_ i not endorse tne auuse 01 Diease l<: ; other candidates and newspapers a " ' lon<r range, and neither do we en dorse the abuse Blease indulges ir " at long range. The fact of the mat ". ter is that we do not see anything 1 : helpful or elevating in a campaign o r ' ' personal abuse, and neither does i " ; do the country any good. Pity w< can't have once more in South Caro 1 l*na a campaign free of persona ? : abuse. It does not prove anything ? ! and neither does it elevate the mar ( . . ". who indulges in it in our estimation : . 1 We publish a statement from Geo j ' R.

" WHAT HE REALLY WANTED 5? ????? f Deep, Dark Design Thst Was Behind Mar/s Encouragement of His Companion's Singing. Two Rii-n were sen ted at n table in a saioon. one of them annoying the* ? other customers by his maudlin at tempts to sing something that had a f strong German air. although the words . were apparently English. The pro. prietor approached. "Cut out that singing in here." he remonstrated. "This ain't no ama^ teur night for cabarets." i The singer subsided and took an y other drink, but his companion urged ? him to continue, expressing great ad3 miration for the air. ir "What do you mind the likes of him for?" he asked. "Sure, it's a fine ' sor.c. Go abend with it." The resumption of the disjointed 5 notes brought the proprietor to the e table again. _ I "See here, you," he began, with a g rap of his knuckles on the table, "out* that singing right now, or I'll have you ; thrown out." 1 , Standing not far off to be sure that , - the selection was not continued the i i proprietor overheard the second man ' urging the singer to go ahead and after another drink the song was resumed. ' , Stepping up to the table with tire in his eye the.boss addressed himself to 5 the second man. "Why do you keep asking him to 3 sing?" he demanded. "If you are r so stuck on his singing take him somewhere else and listen to it all you like." "Singing!" retorted the other. "I : don't care about his singing. 1 want j 5 to see him thrown out." . r j Ready to Meet "the" Girl. , Hprp's a vountr man who believes in j the efficiency of preparedness. With his young wife he appeared recently before Frank M. Kenney, chief clerk to Local Board No. 7 at Cen tral armory, Cleveland, O. r "When di(f you buy the ring?" Mr. j i Kenney asked. There was some discrepancy be-, tween the answers of the bride and, the bridegroom and the clerk pressed for an explanation. ; "Well, 1*11 tell you the truth." the man replied. "Some years ago I bought a watch on the installment plan and when it was paid for T ) thought the idea was a pretty good - one. I figured to myself that some f day I might want to get married, and thought it wouldn't he a had iriea to get the ring on the same plan." "You mean you got the ring and " kept it in your pocket until the right ' girl happened along?" Mr. Kenney inf quired. ; t "That's just it, mister,'* the youth ^ replied, unabashed. "This is the right girl, and we've just got married." A Prodigy. ' A new prodigy has appeared in i T>^ TTrv ic? r%r>/"*/" !o?morl *i?s Trifllfi <11* 1 J. UIIO. lie io ^'1 WViUiUivu - ?.

An emulsor, now being widely introduced, produces pasteurized milk or cream from their component parts with the aid of centrifugal force. The machine, which is shown in Popular Mechanics Magazine, is built some; what like a cream separator. Milk powder, butter and water, which have been mixed and heated in a steamjacketed vat. are fed at pasteurizing temperature into the revolving chamber, producing a perfect emulsion from which all foreign matter is eliminated. , ( : ; Army Pronouns.
