The Observer and The Herald ar News have agreed to take the returi ?f the election jointly. In these tim< it is necessary to conserve all oi resources and to cooperate in eve] imki-w ?r?eci'Mn ""J fv-'v""vWe will use The Observer offic And the bulletins will .be display* from there and the special print* returns issued from that office. W are sending blanks to all the mai agers, placing them m the boxes, an envelopes addressed. We would than . the managers to send by hand or ma or telephone the returns just as ti count is completed. When one box : TiIpQca Ti^n-no that 5n and thu - " " cooperate with us in getting the total as promptly as possible. The Observe phone number is 87. Please remen be? that and-call that number jus tea of ^calling it and The Herald and Nev also. We will also arrange to get the r< turns from the State and give thei out just as fast as receivedIn most cases the returns can t V sent by phone. Read them from tl Diana: just as tne names come and v? can take them easier. We ask the cooperation of the mar agers and our friends and we tfill d the rest. The Observer The Herald and New: We understand that a circular at tacking Dominick and his record ha: "been printed and is being circulate; over the district signed "Citizens o Newberry." In fact we have seen ft It does seem to us that any one wh< k would send out such an attack woulr iiave had the courage and the man hood to have signed the document in stead of sending out an anonymous f thing like that. Let the people know who these "Citizens of Newberry" are m O XT hn A ?/-> /I o IU?J CL i l IUC11 UU Ing this thing. But these eleventh hour attack: never amount to much. They o^ner ally prove a boomerang. And that wil be the effect of this if it has-any ef feet at all. The handwriting is on th< wall. iMr. Dominick's opponent i; doomed worse than ever. Put it ii your pipe and smoke it, "Citizens o Newberry." We like to see a manlv anrl on?.: fight in a manly way, .but we neve did like this bushwhacking business. BLEASE WILL WIN. The desperation of the oppositioi to the election of Blease to the senat by some of the editors of the paper in this State is terrible, and some o their utterances make us just a littl< til cu. They are laboring, without sayins so in so many words, to leave Che impression that a vote for Blease is < pro-German vote, and a vote agains our hoys over there, and without say ir.g it in so many words, that it i. a vote that will please the kaiser, an< therefore the vote of a German sym pathizer. And that the election o Blease will increase the burdens o our great president. f I Now we have not said much abou f * it, but we have a boy over there, am he volunteered in the service of hi cniiTitrv when the first call came fn y men to go to the border, and whej he -was under the draft age, and w< love that boy as much as any othe father or mother loves his or her boy > and if possible more, because ho ha* s no mother hero to love him, and w< would do as much for him and his we!S fare as any other father, and we hav= a loving father's feeling for him and ! V-; c to ?so him return to i;s some day when this war is over. It is our purpose to vote for Blease V<; for the senate and we have no feeling - ! that we are voting against that boy { or against President Wilson in so do_ I m. 1 ing, and we are just as loyal to the ; president and to the country as any I ? of the editors in their desperation, and i will do as much for the government j as they will. We do not endorse al' 1(i ' that 'Blease has said or done, and ' neither do we endorse all that any is ; other candidate has said or done, and 33 . we know that Blease is just as loya1 ir as any of the candidates who are opry! posftig him, and that he is better s * equipped for the position of senator _ ' than they are. and yet we do not e __T_? . ? ' question any other man as to how he id I shall vote, nor do we question his , loyalty, and no man has any right to e question our loyalty. If we are just i- to take some one man's word as to d who is loyal and who is not, and for whom we shall vote, why any election by the people? If a majority of the pocple do not want Blease then we will nnt nrnfpsf nr>d if a. maiorltv dO say they want him then we want to is ; see the minority submit- That is fair, ' and that is the purpose of our election. I All we want Is a fair election and an >r { i honest count, and we believe we will 1 | have it. There is no need to throw any ^ jiU8ral>Cp# it. ' ; rs | The truth of the matter, there is . j too much preaching of the religion of a j hate. We are going to lick the Ger- ' mans and win the war, and the job [II ; is going to be done properly, 'but there ; is no use to be trying to stir up the % >e religion of hatred among1 our own le people. That will not help us at all. re Tf ''Blease is going to be overwhelmingly defeated," as they say, why try : to stir up so much hatred among the l~ people. The trouble is they do not o believe it, and in order to accomplish ; it thev do not care how much hate i they create among the people. Let the people speak and then let the 3* i i ; heathen rage. i Mr Roy Stone is getting just now J 5 I i 1 quite a bit of newspaper notoriety on j 3 , . ! ; account of his prognostications on the i f rpcuif- nf t.hp nrimarv next Tuesday. I , ? ? - J I He predicts the election of Dial to the j1 ) i senate by about 5,000 majority and j' j i j i that is taken hold by the supporters I i 1 i o? tfc? Laurens man as a bit of very * * * I | good news. The wonder to us is that ! : i he gives Blease so many votes in some j 1 ' j counties that we thought were the j : i 4 other way. He says Cooper will bo 1 . . elected on the first ballot over all the ' ' --c1 -T.T** tViot fViohfilR I 1 utiicrs. 'xic yi w 11 u<v ?'- w ?? ^- ? ? _ . 1 J now out of the running and that the , j. second race for congress in that dis- 1 1 trict will be between Bomar and TraxJ 1 ler. . j He says it is going to be close in! ] , the third district and that Dominick ! ( ' i s will be defeated by a small margin 2 on account of the defections from him i f recently in the counties of Newberry, j ; | Anderson and Pickens. If he had left! ; ^ | out this statement we would have j r . placed more confidence in his prog- j j nostications. There has -been no de- j 1 I . I j fection from Dominick in Newberry,! J I l ' ; and from what we hear he is stronger I j j In Anderson and 'Pickens than he waj J1 n j two years ago. There is no doubt that j J e . he is much stronger in Newberry than j ] si he has ever been in any race that he rJ f i< f | has made for congress. Of course j, I 3 : there will 'be-some dirty work done in {< , < ! this county on the eve of the election j" ? as there always is, but it will not have | j . | any effect on the vote to amount to i i anything. The people know and the !' i people are going to vote as they please ] . and they are cn to the tricks. The '* 5 people are not talking much this year > 4 : J 1 hut they are going to vote as they i _ please. ? I( ! < f ? ! } C j We notice from a dispatch from j j Washington that Gov. Manning has ; , t' gone over there to discuss the sena- j ? S torial race with the president. Maybe 1 s he is going to try to o>et a letter from ( r the president which he can use at tne j ] a | last moment. He has already made { i 3 e ' a failure and a "ball" at senator mak. i r ing and we had thought tliat he hail < ! j , retired from the business. He almost 5 made a "goat" out of our friend Lever. ] > ' 3 i . 1 Since the above was put m type , s : Gov. Manning denies the statement ' 1 seat out by the Associated Press that he went to Waf.Iiiiigi.cn to talk over ^ the political situation in South Caro- A > lina. He says he went for an entire. \ ly different purpose and that politics .^ was not mentioned in his with the-^i j ! v* i president.

GLADLY TOOK "WAR" BREAD 1 Horrible Thought Quickly Cured Small & Girl of Unreasonable Prejudice Against the Article. "Oh, mother, must I get war bread?" ' j| Little Daughter had been asked to |8 eo to the bakery for bread for her jj| school lunch. , "It's wheatless day, dear." ^ But I don't like war bread. ,llt's so ? dark and different. And the rules aren't for children, are they?" "No, but you know we were asked ?. to send one million bushels of wheat j ? to the allies by May first We have J K given our word, and our baker is try- I ing to help by making this special ! | bi^ad, which has almost no white flour J I In it whatever. But, of course, if you j | don't feel you can neip in tnis way, j mi you may buy a ligh^r loaf." "Little Daughter started off. In a ^ Pew moments she returned. Mother J unwrapped the package. There was ! the small, dark loaf, indeed different, but really most palatable and nour- 1 j [shing. Little Daughter's eyes were = glowing. ^ "Mother, the baker asked me if I [iked war bread, and I said I did." Mother looked up in astonishment, j ^ ' "But, my dear, you just said?" j sp "Yes, mother, I know I just said to | 'ca you I didn't like it, but I was afraid ' en if I told it to the baker, he would wc think I was a German."?By Jane a Dransfield of The Vigilantes. j t-1 I he i all Bread Without Wheat Flour. j ?er The New York Herald announces fio that a New York chef has a "wonder i recipe for making bread without \ wheat flour." Jean Ricroch, chef of j the Biltmore hotel, is responsible for j the recipe, and ne now gives it to me . ? country, without money and without price. Mr. Ricroch told a Herald reporter the Ingredients of the new bread are as follows: "Twenty:flve pounds >f rye flour, 25 pounds of graham flour, 25 pounds of corn flour, 25 pounds of crushed oatmeal, 1 pound of lard and I pounds of yeast." This, it is explained, is enough to make 150 pounds )f broad. The yeast and rye flour should be mixed first and the others idded alternately. Smaller quantities )f bread can be made by using smaller r?He; T'no mf&h if rlrmhtlpSS iS i i good one. but it does not provide for jread without wheat flour. Graham lour is unbolted wheat flour. So, -vliile the bread is a wheat saver, it loes not do away entirely with the use that grain. _ 1 Resourceful and Brave Cook. That a cook should perform an act of the utmost daring in the pursuit of his occupation as a purveyor of food seems almost incredible. Yet that Is what was done by William B. Gray, a thirdjlass ship's cook In the United States aaral reserve. During the cold weather of last winter the Roanoke marshes In North Carolina were frozen and boats were unable to reach the keeper i )f a lighthouse, who was consequently j In danger of starvation. Gray made j a sled by putting runners upon a life- & boat, loaded it with food and hauled j it across the ice, which was broken and J tossed by strong and dangerous Currents, to the lighthouse, thus saving ? 1 ,.^s_ J Vi: Ti?4-^v I [He Keeper S me aiiu euuuuus iiiiu iu * 2ontiniie at his post of duty.
