Villa has been resurrec again, "Perspiration" is the p word on the border. A clean town never needs advertise the fact. It sprea Life is just what each per makes it, but some are too L to do the making. There's a lull in the storm the border, but the lull usua preceds the greatest blows. The man who hustles ne has to wait for the fellow front to get out of the way. Great- men are often great the eyes of everyone but the who know them best. Of course famine is sweep over northern Mexico. Villa; his horde are abroad again. Then, perhaps. the junk w - ers who follow the great batt of Europe will be the new ph grats of the future.

When a fellow sits arou does nothing, and criticises erythmng and everybody makes of himself the great object of all criticism. Sp the good word instead. There comes a time in the of most men when they see ti own imperfections more vivi than others see them. It then that they are on the wa: becoming better men of nol deeds. A German submarine of p erful -proportions crossed Atlantic undetected and ente an American port. And yet talk of our isolation render us immune from attack f: abroad. We have much to le and but few seem to care to the learning. Congress has just passed big Naval bill, or at least Senate has, carrying an ap' priation of about three hund and fifteen million dollars d.-4e construction of battlesh cruisers, sub-marines etc., provides for the constructioi 66 vessels for fighting purpc the first year. This begins look like Uncle Sam means --et ready for trouble if it Sh( arise in the future. He had; as weld so. The millemn iis not the kind that we h beanled to look for and if a body believes that the pebopl4 the world as a whole are gett better it is hxagd to underste 'what he bases his opmnion on IS IT ANOTHER TRICK I e A great many people view i Carranza's present role of "good Indian" with suspicion, and with a reason. Carranza is tottc .ing on his a throne. His power is on the .. wane. His army is disgruntled -- and his generals are dissatisfied a and defiant. And there's a reason. l The self-styled first chief is AY out of money. and without money 14 " or loot or the prospect thereof the Mexican b s not fight. He prefers to loll aroand in the sun and roll cigarettes. e ted There appears to be but on' t source from which the Mexican n government can secure the finan- v ass cial assistance of which it stands e so distressingly in need. That is P from the United States. And we, to strangely enough, seem to be ds. willing to furnish the gold that a enable them to regain their posi- a son tion and ultimately turn their a Sgun against us again. No sooner had Carranza an on nounced his desire to re open 1y diplomatic relations with Wash ington that the information was c allowed to filter out that he was t' rer in the market for a big loan, and d in American financiers immediate ly pricked up their ears in antic ipation of another slice of inter in est "bacon." Their patriotism a se appears to begin at one end of l the pocketbook and end at the a other. oug The Mexican is an adept at Lnd playing good Indian when he has something to gain, and tie first chief greatly desires Amer- d al- ican gold. t les He may get it, but if he does a to- we will probably soon be recei v ing bullets in return for it in )ne stead of interest money. e Keep both eyes on the good er Indian, and don't let him come too close to you in the dark. var ONE BIRD AT A TIME. fin- Some people start life by try re? ing to kill two birds with one ay. stone and go down to their graves without having bagged igh either one. it It is a fatal mistake that is of one ten made. The young man begins his career and is naturally anxious 40to get ahead. nes There are two ways that are i.commonly used to accomplish ned this end. The one is to do one thing at a time and do it well. tThe man who does this advances tsteadily, if at times slowly, but gin the end he attains the goal ofhe seeks. Patience and energy ofand faithfulness are rewarded by success. The other is impa ac- tient and wants to go forward th. by leaps and bounds. He wants is to kill two birds with one stone. ads Sometimes he wants to bag a hes dozen at one throw. As a result, Sobjects are confused, his aim is too quick and careless, and he aan scores more misses than hits. of This is unsatisfactory to the tck employer and in time such a is man generally finds himself look ing for another job. The wise employer is an ex on- cellent judge of men. It is a ov- part of his business to be such, .en, and it is because of his ability me to gauge the capacity of his men that he succeeds in life. He wants no drones, and the nd, two-bird man does not appeal to ev- him. He wants faithfulness, he efficiency and steadiness, and est that can only be secured by se ak lecting the man who does one thing at a time and does it well. It is a lesson every young man life should learn on the threshold of ier life. dly -- - - - is MAKING A NAME FOR A TOWN. E to The citizens of every towo )ler have it within their power to make or mar their own munici 3. pal name. It will be good or bad, bhe just as they choose to make it. i-ed We of this town are no excep we tions to the rule, and the citi m zeus who loves his own home m will always bear it in mind. do There are many good points in favor of our community. and when the stranger comes to our the midst we should not fail to im te press these facts upon his mind. -> We should take him in hand.I .redI for exhibit the community as you [would a blooded horse, let him and understand that he is among a 1 of fa minded, energetic and gen ses ero is hearted people, and when to lbe goes to other climes he will: to speak as he has been spoken to. >uld That is the way reputations just Iare made. ium But there is another side. and has it is there that mischief is too of ave ften done. y The stranger enters our door ofand we immediately begin to ng cpmpain of the community and md the people. .Nothing just suits us. - Nothing is as it should be. Ev rything is wrong and the town on the way to the dogs. 1 And again the stranger speaks I s he sees and hears. That is the way reputations re destroyed. Which is it to be with us. The House of Representatives i Washington has dismissed the rotest against Congressman 1 Whaley and declared Mr. Wha y elected Congressman from 1 iis district. The protest was 1 iade by the negro Aaron Prio au, who makes a protest after I very regular election in this dis 'ict and has been doing so for a , umber of years. We have al- I ays understood that the gov- 1 enment allows $2000 for the rotestant in such matters, and i this way the Berkley negro Manages to make an average sal ry of $1000 per year. There F ce many United States as well ; State laws which needs regu ting. In thinking of National poli cs people are in the habit of >nsidering that there are only ;'o parties who put out presi ential candidates, the Demo ratic and Republican, but as a latter of fact there are usually half dozen or more parties who ,t out candidates. The Nation 1 prohibitionists have just put ut ex-Governor Hanley of In iana as their candidate for pres lent and Ira D. Landrith of ashville, Tenn., for vice presi ent. Some of these presiden ial candidates get about as far s some of the candidates for overnor of South Carolina. .RAILI WA( Shall they be < Industrial I Fede ra 1 To the American Pt Do you believe in; trial warfare?

SCEOTER. Rha~, Ve.-PrEd, OPENING OF. MANNING'S Tobacco Market Tuesday, August 1. We fully realize the misfortune that befell us during the recent storm to our crops, and. most especially, the tobacco industry, for what looked to be a beautiful prospect a few days ago, is now, a mass of ruins. Every effort will be made by our local warehousemen to get the highest prices for what is left-of this crop. In 1914, Manning led the State for high prices, and in 1915, we led on the opening sale. In 1916, we hope to do still bet ter. nring your wouacco o m1a1d11iu LLCAc I uCo day and see what Mr. R. D. Cothran of the Cen tral Warehouse, and Mr. R. D. Clark of Clark's Warehouse, can do for you. These gentlemen have worked hard for the farmers and the Man-/ ning market for years, and while they know that the crop is very short now, and to make expenses will be a hard task, they will not give up, but will open their warehouses on schedule time, sacri ficing their money and labors to accomodate the people. Bring your tobacco to Manning next Tuesday and show your appreciation of the efforts this market is making. In this connection, we extend our sympathy to everybody that was hurt by this storm, but don't let us give up, take on a fresh grip, and go to work, doing the best we can, at the same time give thanks for what we have left. We have one of the best cotton and tobacco markets in the State. We appeal to every farmer in this county to sell his cotton and tobacco in Manning, at least, his nearest home market and buy his goods at home---Cut-out the mail order houses, keep your money at home, pay your debts or do the best you can. Remember the Opening Day of the Tobacco Market, Tuesday, August 1st. Prices will be high. Come and bring a big load, and be con vinced that this is the best market in th~e State Next Tuesday, August 1st, is the Day.
