APPELT, XDITOE A.ND PROPRIETOR. All men are created equal, but some walk on higher stilts than others. They say a cat has nine lives, but at that it is a mile in the rear of Villa. . Millionaires and paupers are Irubbing elbows at the front. War is a great leveier of caste. If you know a few things and know them well you are a wiser man than the fellow who "knows it all." Young man, you will never reach your goal -so long as you spend your time resting on the .way. All men makes mistakes in the eyes of the Lord and other peo ple. A few never do in their own estimation. The Mexican muddle is work ing a genuine hardship in the public prints on the political can didates. But, then, it is some relief even at that. Some men "know everything" make a big noise, and get no where. Others know a few things, say little. and get to the front. Take your choice. The many who respects the rights of others experiences lit tle difficulty in securing the con - sideration due himself, but the wolf generally gets his due. The campaign meetings so far have been so -tame that even the daily papers can't get a chance to comment, on the speeches. Its the same old grind eyery day, with Duncan getting his usual "write up"-"And D u n c a n spkaan the system." s Now Locat PALM BEAC ~1 Grays Abrams iWASH SK Abrams SILK SHIR' trry a Line o;f s Dresses, nbroideri es, You, of course, have you: own opinion on current affairs and believe tbat you are right Your neighbor has his and is equally firm in his belief. Re spect the rights of each, anc don't scrap. A kind word is worth much, costs nothing, 'and leaves a green spot in memory. Harsh ones are the cause of blitb, with. er and delay. Which do yot use? The national campaign is well under way, but because of thE universal interest in the bordei situation many people are gir. mug the respective candidates scaraely a Dassing thought. Newspapers are relegating thenx and their doings to the insidE pages, while the full force of thE limelight is focussed upon Mex ico and the troops on our owr side of the border. It is hard lines for the politicians, but thE people, no doubt, will livE through the distressing ordeal without loss of sleep or flesh. If there are any old bachelors in this countryside who are un able to annex a wife they should take heart and buck up. There is still hope even for them. Dur ing the next few years EuropE will be almost destitute of suit able material for husbands, and fair damsels will be pining their lives away for the mates that never come. Just keep up heart for a time, fellows, and if noth ing better turns up you can take that trip abroad and annex a dozen or two. Have you noticed the pecul iarities beneath the surface in the mobilization of the .National Guard of the United States and its dispatch to the border? Sery ing in the ranks of many of the organizations are millionaires from the highest social and finan cial families. In the same comn mands are janitors, farmers, clerks and common laborers, all good men and true. Each is serving his country to the best of his ability, but the most no ticeable feature is the fact that social cast is utterly unknown. The millionaire and the laborer groom their horses or dig ditch es side by side and joke as though they had been fast friends all of their lives. They are comrades in a common cause, and as com ade they think, act and do. A dR S ~d in the Sto BR l\ HSUITTS, in Undersells! IRTS Undersells ! I'WAISTS Ladies 'Dress - ens' and -, Hosier -It is surprising how' 'uickly a person can lose interest ji a sut ject that has been uppermost it their minds for a year or more. Since the European war corn Imenced it has been one grea1 topic of conversation and specu lation the world over. Now, sc far as we of the United States are concerned, it is a baick num ber, shoved off the map, prac tically forgotten. Our own ht tie clothes line affair with Mex ico is the all absorbing objeci before the public eye and in the public mind, and just at this time a sick mule on the border is of more importance to us than the outcomo of any of the innum erable clashes across the water. Patriotism should and does be gin at home. Col. J. G. Padgett of Walter boro came to Manning last Fri day and since then he has beer busy shaking hands with old friends and making new ones. Col. Padgett is in the race foi congress from this district and from the encouraging reports he is daily receiving from all over the district, it would not be at all surprising to see him unseat the present congressman, Mr. Whaley. Padgett is State Sen ator froin Colletou county and an able lawyer, and being from a rural district will draw a large vote from people living outside of Charleston, as they feel that they are entitled to a represen - tative other than what they have always gotten, and now is the time to elect the man they want and one that will look to thei- interest. Col. Padgett is no stranger to the voters of Clar endon or to the people of the First District, and we predict for him a successful campaign and a sure winner. Patriotism is in the air these days, and it extends from one end of the country to the other, and embraces all classes of citi zens from the millionaire to the pauper. That is patriotism to one's flag and country,. But there iss till another kind of patriu tism that is of quite as great im portance but is not so generally observea.- That is patriotism to the home town, to the schools, the churches. the lodges, the business inen, in fact, to every thimr that pertains to the home life.' The mnore prosperous the home rcommunitie of the conn BR re Formeral 4SUJ $3.98 as, Shirtwaist Boy's Olothin y, Dress Shoe OPPOSITE CO1 ,try, the greater is the power o the country as a single unit. Th man who exerts his influence ii behalf of his home town uses af great a brand of patriotism as the one who mounts a platfora and starts the eagle to scream ing. As a matter of fact, ther< is no comparsion between tb< two, for in nine cases out of ter actions speak louder than words Patriotism to country is corn mendable, but that to both homE pand country is even better. KEEP THE TOWN CL.EAN. A cleau town attracts atten tion whenever it is seen. A dirty one catches the public eye ir even less time. When the streets and alleys and yards and vacant lots in a town are clean and sanitary i1 bespeaks a like condition on thE part of the residents with regard to their personal habits. The Lord loves a clean man or woman, and the devil worsh. ips a dirty one. Which do you prefer? If each person in this town would use just a little more en ergy and thoughtfulness we could make this one of the clean est spots in tne country and our reputation would grow apace. Not only would we benetit thusly, but the health of the community would be vastly im proved and the physical capaci ty of the people would be great ly increased. A clean man works with pleas ure and with a definite object in view. Generally he gets there. 'The dirty one labors fr-om ne cessity only, has no ambition, and is the black eye that kills the town in the eyes of other people. Keep the town clean FAIIlNG IN THE TEST. The railroads of the country have been put to the test in the handling of tr-oops and have failed, and we have learned yet another lesson in the school of unpreparedness. Regiments of soldiers who were scheduled by the roads to start at a certain hour have been delayed for days through iack~ of cars, and in a number of in stances the troops have lain on the gi-ound at the stations all niht long waiting for the cars to take them to the border. The excuse of the roads is a hrtage nf cars but if that be ftM ly Occupied MEN'S $15 WOMEN'S LADIES' $: , Underwear, y, Hats Caps,. s, Work Shoes, LJRT HOUSE. the case what would we do if we were suddenly required to trans port a great army instead of a few thousand men. The citizen depends upon the army to protect him in his rights of person and property, and the army depends upon the railroads to get it to the front.' TWhen the roads fall down on an insignificant movement, what are we to expect when an emerg ency arises. The question de mands an answer. EXASPERATING PIDDLING. The government of the-United States, and the people as wei!, are rapidly losing their patienice over the exasperating piddli ig of V'enustiano Carranza, whio styles hi mself the first chie f of the Mexican de facto govern ment. This man Carranza reminds one of the insignificant and bom bastic fice that barks at a ug dog and then backs away when there is a chance for a fight. He has insulted and detied the United States on innumerable occasions. and yet when we show a disposition to resent his insolence he bobs up with a sug gestion of compromise or media tion. In plain and unvarnished lan guage, we have had just about enough of Carranza and Mexico. and it is about time for the big dog to sail in and give the pid dng snapper andl his horde of rag muffins and cut throats a sound drubbing. Nothing else will be of the slightest avail. How's This I We offer One Hundred Dollars Reward for ay case of Catarrh that cannot be cured i~ Hal's Catarrh Cure. F. J. CH ENEY & CO.. Props.. Toledo.

Careful estimates place the Cali fornia gold output for 1915 at fully $2,200,000 more than the previous year, when the total output was $20, 653,496. The yield will easily be the largest in 32 years, and, with'one ex ception, the largest In 51 years. so California still remains the premier gold-producing state in the Union. -Placer mining for gold. for years con sidered a decadent .industry in Cali fornia, has for the past 18 years been growing ini importance, until now the placer mines are producing 44 per cent of the total gold yield, the other 56 per cent coming from deep mines. This condition has been entirely brought about by the dredging opera tions, the gold dredges now producing some 86 per cent of the placer gold. The present tendency Is toward exten sive yardage in- dredging operations, so the new machines are much larger and more powerful than those built formerly. It is considered probable that for this reason the yield of dredge-gold in California will continue about the same for some years, even though the old and smaller machines dscdntinue operations. A gold dredg-| er is now being built to dIg 70 feet below the water line. There was a distinct revival in all kinds of metal mining in the state In 1915, particular ly In gold mining. The dredgemen have begun operations on tracts for merly considered too small for this class of work; and numerous quarts mines were reopened, while the older ones were deepened with good results.
