dANNING. S. C., AUG. 19, 1914: PUBLISHED EVERY WEDNESDAY BE REASONABLE. The primary election takes ptee next Tuesday, and every white man who has his name on theclub books should turn out and vote, m doing so, he should diest himself ofi petty differ eces and select from the num berof candidates the best qual -fed for the positlon the candi date seeks. This thing of lining up voters to cgratify a prejudice, s the work of a selfish schemer, when it is investigated lt will be dfund that he is playing on' the Fprejudices of those he seeks to " ine up ." and close watching wldisclose the same man. eith er in person or through some & Ie else, is working the same schemeon the other side. This 4hould not be, it is discrediting a ua's intelligence to urge him draw factional lines in a con tfor representatives or coun dtyficas.

New complications have set in by Japan sending a ultimatum to Germany to withdraw the German warships from the Ori ent, and to evacuate Kiau-Chau, and given until Sunday to comn ply 'with the demands of Japan. If Germany does not cmply it, -means that another strong naval power has been added to those already against Germany, and it only makes it more futile for Germany to ever win in the life struggle Emnporer William brought .on himself needlessly. When the war started Japan intimated its sympathy with England, but it did not intend 'to beoeinvolved unless the triple alliance undertook to invade her territory; now since matters have reached a more' serious state, it looks to us as if Japan in de mnn the withdrawal of Ger miany's- 1fet from Japan's ield of activity in China means to be come an active ally to the pow ers against Germany, and will join the British fleet in the de struction or capture of all Ger man craft in the Shinese or Japanese waters, and they will also assist their allies in the Pacitic. Judging from the despatches that have leaked through the censored cablegrams, if only a part of them are true, this war will put the finishing touches to the German Empire, and that country will be divided up into little kingdoms, dukedoms, and principalities, similar to the pre sent condition of the little king doms which made up the great empire of Germany prior to the Franco Prussian war. It fur ther appears to us that the mon archs of Europe are trembling, they are in the greatest danger of disruption, and Russia is gov erned by an autocratic Czar, the country will be divided into States, like the United States, and it will be formed into a Re publie with a constitution, or it may remain a limited monarchy, similar to England, the same will happen to Germany; France is already a Republic. rhe war will not only disarrange the gov ernments but it will make a great change in the map of Eu rope, and although at a great cost of blood and treasure, the final outcome of it will bo the unfettering the pebple from the chains of ignorance, and the pro mulgation of civilization. The Times has endeavored to keep the editorial columns from extrieme partisanship during this entire campaign The edi tor has his personal preferances, ,the same as any other citizen, and in his choice of candidates will vote for the men. of his choice jus as he advises every voter to do. He' thinks it is wrong to inflame the passions of ec ; -l:>,'and his course has been to try and- advise against extremes. It is his purpose to do his part towards bringing har mony to our people as their is nothing to be gained by this con stant friction, and if the masses will reflect they will see that a -conservative course does more good 'than irritating agitation. Let every man go to the polls next(Tuesday to do his part as a good citizen, and if he ewill, the' result, mnattersnot how it goes, will leave no heart-burnings. and the spirit of rivalry will not end in bad feeling. -President\Wilson .has put ma chinery to work to investigate the cause of the advance in food prices; and it he has the power he will b-ing the speculators to tiw in the courts of the United States. It is our opinion. the action of the Pr~esident is not on ly timely, but it is solely for the protection of the masses against that greedy horde of speculators who stiand ready to take advant age of any emiergency to till their c'ofers. The longer Pres ident Wilson is in the executive chair the more is he convinding the American people of his wise statesmanship, and the more is he securing the hold Democrat ic party has upon the people. There is of course, even among Democrats, an element that fear his policies will not be en dorsed at the nexzt election, but that fear is fast dwindling away, and we believehe will convince the country that his administra tion is not only safe, and sound, but it has done more along pro gressive lines than any adminis tration in a gentury. The war news continues to be confusing, and it is difficult to get from the dispatches that are given to dhe press anything like deinate information, but, we still believe the powers not en gaged in the turmoil will yet be able to get the ear of the war ing monarchies to consider me diation with a view of settling' the differences How's This I We offer One :iundred Dollars Reward for any case of Catarrh that cannot be cured by .J.CHENY & CO..
