What we need is patriotism that imnpels a man to love his country for what it is and for what it has done for himself and or the rest of mankind. When an'isimbued with this brand of Iegity he will give even life itself for hls country when the needlarises, and he will have no sef plaudits to hurl 'at his fel ~'ow men in glorification of his own acts. He will not dispense wind. We have many just such true patriots right in our own midst, but they are quietly pursuing their daily routine, hoping and ~ raying that -the government &n~ay steer the ship of state safely through the troublous waters without loss of honor or dignity. Today they are simply loyal cismens of the republic. Tomor -o ~they my be heroes who hae fought and died for their - Whoynows? - - UMES OUT IN THE WASHING. Strange, strange, how it all comes out in the wash. When -some nineteen years ago the Hon. JohnIL. McLaurin, then a membr o th UntedStates. senate, boldly took a stand in favor of ship subsidy regardless of the policy of the Democratic --party of that day. The Yorkville BrEnquirer was one of the few papers in the state that backed him up. The Charleston Post: was with him, and so were the: Charlotte Chronicle, Bamberg Herald, the Manning Times, the - ~-Greenville News and two or three others. But the News and Corier and the Columbia State - ere against him, and the latter ~pper did not hesitate to heap abuse on The Enquirer for its psiion. And practically all of th ocal politicians were against ] editor of the Enquirer.

TF sion when Mr. MeLanrin was ex- a pecting to come up to this county c to make a speech, one of the local politicial bosses threatened that t if be did so, he, the local politi f cal boss, would see to it that Mc Laurin was rotton-egged. And : we remember how a certain other : politician, now holding a high c public office, went to the late L. s M. Grist and tried to convince a him that this editor was ruining s The Yorkvile Enquirer by back- r ing McLaurin, and how the late L. M. Grist told ihat gentleman, s "Well my observation is thate Senator McLaurin has more i sense than all the rest~ of you x put together." But leaving all s this aside, would it not have f been fine if Southern Democrats t had followed Mr. McLaurin in r these days in his efforts to build e up a merchant marine by means i of subsidy? We would now be s able to place our cotton pretty much where we should please, r and we would be conducting a I splendid trade with all that por- f: tionof the country which is not at a war,and our citizens could be go- b ing wherever they please'd with- e out having to travel on the armed n vessels of belligerents.-York- A ville Enquirer. s ti TE WAR SITATION FROM DAY TO DAY tl ANOTHER FIVE YEARS OF WAR. r The return of peace to Europe y seems indefinitely postponed. As day succeeds to day and the ( struggle goes on, its end be a comes less and less a subject for r logical speculation. We know a, that all of the belligerents are longing for peace. They have e said as much. They are weary rr of wasting their material sub- n stance and their manhood in a h conflict doomed from the begin -v ning to end in a stalemate. The h belligerents have named the ci terms of peace upon which they g would conclude hostilities. Yet s< no advance toward peace has b been defitely made by any one a of the powers in arms. They y seem waiting for some neutral to a step in and proffer the olive t branch of peace. b Such a condition leads natu r ally to two questions: What w would immediate peace in Eu- p rope mean to the world gener- h, ally? What will happen if the p, war carries on for years-ive til years, say-to Europe and our- a selves? b3 With the latter question I am ce principally concerned. o: We have seen what the war et means to America. It has re vived memories long dead-rac- c< tal antipathies that should have w remaired buried-and stirred in V b life policies which were bet.- tI er left unmentioned. With ev-. ary day that the war continues t ~bese evils will increase. What, however, does it mean w a Europe?

Germany can onsequently disregard the cen us figures of her enemies. They ,re six to one against her. Yet he has the advantage. She has aised her sons to be men. The financial and economic ituations in the various bellig rent countries will play an ever acreasing part in the determni tation of the war. Germany is oiid here. When she prepared or the inevitable war that was o be forced upon her she did tot overlook the Onancial or conomic factors which would tecessarily enter therein. The o-called "blockade" of Germany :iaintained by Great Britain, is eally a blessing to her-and ritish authorities admit |tbe act. It contains her money ithin the realm, and compels er to be selfsupporting. She an continue this process indefi itely. On the other hand the llies are buying abroad, and ending out of their countries be meney which Germany is olding at home. The extent of eir purchases in this country lone will bring them to bank uptcy before the end of five ears. The same applies economically ~ermany began in the begin lg to husband her economic esources.

The les >ns5 taught by Germany have een accepted tardily by France nd Great Britain.

As to your third question, I t not opposed to the county to :ounty campaign, but favor it.g As to your second question, I of t in favor of going before the qi eople as heretofore, and expect mn o do so, county-to county-cam- th aign or not. as the act of polit. cc cal henchmen cannot bridle my th ongue or prevant me from at speaking to the people of South oh arolina who wish to hear me. jar ERY THE NEW It ;ure .to the La OPENING w his time to pry eady to show of Clarendon styles.

[ am absolutely opposed to a a iewsp, per campaign. f Now, as to your first question. ti is to mnv idea in reference to the i. bolition of the county-to county- p ,ampaign this year, I beg to say e ghat my first idea is that it is a i; scheme because some people are e afraid to face their records in a e ;ounty-tocounty-campaign. My a second idea is that it is an eff. rt I n the part of certain newspa- p aer to give them the opportun- p ty to publish any kind of a lie e nd the'n refuse to publish the r< :orrection when the demand is b ade on them. as has been fre- ( iuently done. I presume that I a iould have less to Icse by abol- f sing the State campaign thain c ny other man personally be a ~ase I am thoroughly known s broughout the State of South a 3arolina, even to tbe children, a verybody knows me and know a rhat I stand for in politics. o. [herefore, it would not be nie-T essary for me to go troun l ver the State stating my post- u ion on public questions, not onl ci y in this campaign, but in all ci ithers, to deprive them of the ti riviege of meeting the people b; ace to face and it would certain Tf y be manifestly unfair to the it people of the State to attempt b< o deprive them of the privilege e af seeing the candidates face to oi ace. of judging of what ma:nner S( men they are and of hearing ki hem express their viewsperson ty 11y. The old crowd who used at o control South CaroliLa would eet in their county seats. tix mj p a little slate. go into a con ye ention and force it down the ly broats of the people, whether i hey wanted it or not, and if the -- eople protested, they would be y old, "if you don't support this si icket the nigger is liable to ni oe in." Then, the State fad rowd would meet in Columbia tr t te Columbia Club, take a aw drinks of mean liquor, light ce p cigars and fix up a slate for ti 11 State officers, go into a sel f- to acked convention and nominate sc a their ticket, and force the rhite people of the State to sup ort them. This was broken up 1890, and every white man in ie State, poor or rich, was giv the same ~privilege to say M .ho should hold these public bc ices. This has worked re- de tarkably well and successfully tha d the only reason they can ive for changing the plan is to w" ive to certain would be bosses th' e right to name the officers. he iereby depriving the people of qa iat important and high privi ge. I do not believe the peo e, as a whole, wish this done, id they should go to their club sti eetngs and elect only as dele- an ites men who favor a free and thti >en aiscussion of all political testions and allowing all whitew en the privilege of voting in A e primary.
