Four mere days are left in which you can enroll t vote in the Demo-! cratic. election this year. Unless you enroll before July 28, you can not vote in the Democratic primaries for county officers, solicitor, congressman, state officers, and United States senator. If you fail to- enroll on or before July 27, the I last day for enrollment, you will lose ; vour vote and your voice will n9t i count m your government. Every Democrat's duty is to en roll now. Go to the enrollment place j * in your voting precinct and get your name on the book TODAY. We are pleased to see that Gover-1 nor Blease has sent his felicitations to Governor Cox and that he is going to support, him for the presidency. In fact we understand that he has been a Cox man for the nomination for some time and even long before the convention. ' We iare sorry, that he. should include in his congratulations a fling at the president and the delegation from South Carolina. This i! a time when we should all be to?nnt hrinc UD anV Old gCUlCl OUU uv? 0 _ A ^ scores but look to the future and get a vision of the new day that is just ahead of us and all of us pull together to make it a bright ancK glorious day for all the people. That is what we need just now. Yes, Cox is going to be elected and we are expecting that he shall make one of the great presidents of this country. And unless we are very greatly mistr^il Ko tVip nresi taKen m ine man lie nm .... r dent and discharge his duty without factional or sectional bias. ' And did you read what Governor Cox said to the women when they offered him the woman vote if he would help them get one more state for woman suffrage? Read it. Here it is. He does not ask reward in the way of. votes or, public office for patriotic service or for doing his duty. But ^ooqiko hp stands for some- j latliCl uvyuuwv thing and is fit to carry those things into realities. 4iI ask-you not *to. preach-the gospel that I should receive the votes of women because I helped to give them suffrage. . . . Instead of saying to them vote for Governor Cox because he helped us, search the policies of the political parties and support that wlvch you belted will mean the nk>st good for the common welfare. . . . There are things more vital than rewarding a man for service which he has rendered. . . . If I do my simple duty it will be no r more than 1 should have done." You should not cast your vote for a man because he has rendered service simply, but can he do the most good for the common welfare in the position which he seeks at your hands. That is the test. That is the high and patriotic ground on which Governor Cox places the ballot. We can not understand why so many people desire to rush in such speed when there is an alarm of. fire. There is a regulation that no car must be moved for seven minutes, we believe .it is, after the alarm is sounded. Of course very little attention is paid to the regulation. We know it was disregarded on Tuesday evening wHen the alarm went in. And we got a glimpse of one ear that whirled around'^one of the corners that we know must have been going at least 40 miles an hour. And then what good is there in a gTeat crowd rushing to a fire or along the streets when the alarm is sounded. Unless you are a fireman you will do more good by remaining away than by being there probably in the way of the firemen. We were just wondering if there is not some way to keep the crowds away altogether. If they can not see the wis i dom of keeping out of the way of ? those who go to do some good in stopping the fire then keep them % away by law. It is really dangerous . to life the way some of those drive - through the streets when the alarm ? of fire is sounded at any time of day - or night. It should have the atten* lion of the authorities. The pity is i. that'it is necessary to have any regu> lations on matters cf this nature but it seems almost absolutely necessary. \ Common sense and good judgment should suggest to the people that it is dangerous to drive like some of J ? : 1 -r\c* nnl o xne csrs int? unvcn u v m ^ ^ ? ^ who really have absolutely no ousiness at the fire and could do no good whe? there and are really in the way of the firemen who are working to ? save property. I ONLY FOUR DAYS. The voters are nor enrolling for the "primary as they should. You should enroll even if you now think you vio not care to vote. You can r.e. U'll wiia: will take place between now :.nd the election. Then you will be in position to vote if you desire and every good citizen owes it to his state and his comity to vote in the selection of the men who are to fill' the various positions in the countyj and -the state and the nation. There are only four days left in which to place your name on the | club roll. Next Tuesday, July 27, is; the last day. Better attend to it today. Many seem to have the idea that if they were on the enrollment books two years a?o and have not moved that it is not necessary to enroll this year. That is a mistake. There is a new enrollment this year. As an example we take the club in our own ward. 4, and two years ago there were 175 names on the books. x nis ytz&r cit lih?> v> 1111115 vnvjk\> ut v. only 129. It may be that a good many have moved out of the ward ' but surely not that many. The vote in the^ ward two years ago was only 118, but the others had their names on the book and could have voted if they had so desired. Enroll now before the time is out.:; There are other clubs in the county : where we are informed that the enrollment is not as great as in the club (( to which we refer. j" O'H-V ?IAH?

Cox is one of those candi-; J-A? ?1 Jo"" minpa wnr^s ' aaies wuu uuca hvk u>u>Vv ? when it comes to stating his position [ on vital issues before the country at 1 this time. There is no quibbling but straight from the shoulder he gives his position on the league of nations, the prohibition issue and the Irish problem. Here is what he says on these issues: I"League of Nations.?Daring the war everybody was for a league of nations. Nobody was opposed to it. Everybody agreed that it was absolutely essential to stop forever the useless slaughter of millions of men. When, then, did the Repabli can senators begin after the armistice to cast discredit upon the league? It was nothing but partisan bigotry and a blind desire for political ammunition in the coming election. Of course, there are some conscientious objectors to the league; some few men wh$ are really opposed to it. But its organized opifosition was a deep laid and as carefully planned a conspiracy as was ever planned by Germany. ... I am n&t saying that the league is perfect. No human document is. As you already know, I have suggested two reservations myself, but there must be no reservation that will nullify the treaty. "The Irish Question.?I have given deep thought to the Irish k question. They are warm-hearted, courageous, natrihtic neoDle. You have to respect ; any man who does not forget his forebears, and to the Irish Ireland is i a shrine that has been drenched in blood and tears. ... I am ; thoroughly convinced that the Irish question will be solved satisfactorily. ; The controversy will be.allayed, Ireland satisfied, England satisfied, as ; well as the rest of the world. The i problem of Ireland is not a race ] question. It is purely one of geography. ! J "Prohibition.?Prohibition is or- ; dered by the constitutional provision J -C ? J1 ? TVi /-> nrnci ^ont , dliU iCUCi CU Ld LUtC. X lie yi?iuvuu of the United States takes oath to support both. It has never been my habit to violate my oath, and an of-j ficer who does not enforce the law is worse than the man who breaks it. We accept both the constitution and the statutes as the will of the ma- ; jority. I represent the Jeffersonian : principle that the majority can do as it will regarding the prohibition ; niipst.ion. Thev mav leave it on the statute book or may repeal it, but as long as I am a public officer I shall accept what is the will of the ma-,: jority." j That is straight and unequivocal talk. And the Republicans will come straight on the league of nations before the campaign goes very far, but it will come too late to be of any advantage to them in this campaign.} The Republican senate had the op-' portunity to ratify the treaty and to adopt the league of nations but did. not do so. They are going to find! that the American people are in favor of the league and that they are tired of war and a state of war. It looks now that tfie mam oDjecnon 01. the Republicans was that they did not want the Democrats to have the honor of having done this great thing for the peoples of the world. We have said all the while that! eventually the treaty and the league1 would be ratified just as President Wilson wanted it done and as he1 recommended. It could not be other-) wise. He was brought forward at this crisis in world history just for this very thing and the manner in; which he has handled the whole sit-1 uation ar.d all subsequent events including the nomination of Gov. Cox but confirms and makes more clear' that position. 1 There may be a few reservations but the main principle and the lead ircr idea in the treaty and the leagu will be adopted unimpaired just a they are writ. There never has bee any doubt in our mind as to tha Just keep your eye on Cox and se him take up his abode vi the Whit TT 1, ~ *\ " ?

GETTING WEIGHED A HABIT Especially When It's Free?It Hap pens Every Day in Williams Cash Grocery Store. When I was down at Williams Cas Grocery store the other day, separal ing myself from a few $20's I hear a little boy say, "Don't get on tha scale, mother, it might give you weight.*' I looked up quickly. Nov I had heard that wheeze some wher before, but I had it now with illus trations. A stout lady, the kind who want you to call avoirdupois "embonpoint if you have to mention it at awa trying to sneak both feet^on th sc^ie and was trying to do it whe evovhndv was looking the other waj The child's remark threw the lad; into some confusion. Instead of tak ing one foot off at a time, she triei to get both feet off at once. Th reo^lt-. was. she * t on the scale in ; different position than she intended Fortunately, for the scale there ar no springs in it?it's a Toledo?si it suffered no harm, as for the ladywell, er, not knowing her at "all couldn't very'well ask her that. Be sides, she got away too quickly. The incident set me to studyinj the scale. I stood there ten minutes Thirty-six people came in. All bu two stepped on it. Of the 36, thre or four came in just to weigh them selves, and for nothing else. Thi proved conclusively to me that a per son can't resist weighing himself o herself?when it's free. "Does this keep up all day?" whispered to Uncle Grif, indicatinj the people stepping on and off "Sure," he replied. "AJl day and' al fche time. They can't help themselves Some of them do it unconscious^ others make a study of their weighl They can't let a d^y pass withou coming in here. One old woma comes in and weighs herself afte every meal. Very often they dro; pennies in that little card holder i: front. Think it's a slot machine. Iv got quite a collection now. Ever night before I go home, T look i and find two or three at least, rec pie even come in here to weigh vege tabls and meat. Yesterday, a lad came in with a bundle ancf put it o the scale. She looked at the weigh then and said, 'There, I knew tha cheated me. He told me thi chicken was four pounds, and it only three pounds, twelve ounces.' Uncle Grif;s story about the wc man weighing a chicken raised question in my mind as to ho^ muc a chicken ought to weigh. Turnin to the scale agaim I looked at i more closely. The figures' labele "Table of Average Heights an Weights," starts at five feet. At tha height, it says a woman between th aee of 20 and 29 ought to weigh 11 pounds. By inches it goes all the fray up J six feet, and I find that a six foe chicken) that is, between 20 and 29 ought to weigh 156 pounds. Now thi same chicken between the age of 3 and 39 goes* to 163; between 40 an 49 to 171; and after 50 (she's chicken no longer) to 177. Six feet is as tall as a scale al lows for a woman. Any one talle than that is not supposed to weig! herself. Same way with a mar Looking at the men's table I find tha o niiin oMts nn in the air six fee C -X three inches he has no right to weigi himself. He is then in a class wit] people overJ300 pounds. The Toled Scale company thinks nobody shouli let himself or herself weigh mor than 300. At any rate, that's th weight limit. It s a good thing thi isn't Turkey, where they measure ; woman's beauty by her weight. A man five feet six inches, 14 before he is 30; 146 before he is 40 151 before he is 50, and 163 afte that. He takes on 22 pounds in 3i years. The older we get, the heavie we get; we can't help it. Same wa; with a woman. A girl five feet tw inches starts out at 20 with the nic weight of 121, and before she_know it she's 50 and 138. While I wa pitting an eye full of these ^ur/ two ladies came in. "Get on th scale, Mabel," said one. "Indeed wcn't," replied Mabel. "Why not? asked her friend. "Do you think, said Mabel, '"I'm going to let ever one around here see my weight, the dope how old I am? I should sa not." MRS. J. M. ELEAZER DIES Beloved Woman Succumbs at Horn Near Chapin. Thursday's State. _ Mrs. J. M. Eleazer, died yesterda afternoon at 5 o'clock at her hoiq in Chapin.
