Jennings of Sumter was a member of the torch light parade in Columbia last Friday night, cele brating President Woodrow Wilson's re-election, and made a speech to the crowd in which he scored Ex-Gov ernor Blease. Mr. Blease was not in the crowd, nor was he in the city. Therefore, we say this speech was uncalled for and unfair, and should not be given any credence. Mr. Jennings, we learn is to be a candidate for the United States Senate in 1918 the same position he aspir ad for in 1914, but if this is his method of camp~aignmng, he will hardly reCceive as many votes as he did in 1914, which was too small to imention. Then too, what did Blease have to (10 with this celebration? W~e presume Mr'. Jennings took the adivantage of the asseambled crowd to air his grievances, but he will find that the people will reLsent such under~ihandled p)olitics. I)ON'T K(ICK. The followv who goes through life kicking at other peo ple usually is prlldi into eternity by a kick fr'om the devil., Kicking don't pay either the kicker or' the fellow who is kicked. Trhe injustice of an unjust kick leaves many a heartache behind which rankles and grows into l~itternless which lasts for months and years. At times :ceases only with the dleath of the victim. But the vic aim of the kick is not the only one who loses in the game. Tlhea kicker makes a r'eputation for himself with every kick that he gives arnd that reputation follows himn through life. When the (lay c'omes that he needs the ser vices of a friend he often finds that he has kicked the only people to whom it is possible for him to turn. He loses because he has kicked himself out of the confidence of hiz: fellow men. D)ON'T BE A CLAM. Somea people talk much and (10 little. Others talk little and (10 much.

AN APPEAL TO COMMUNITY LOYALTY. It will not be long now until the holiday shopping will be in full swing and before it opens we wish to have a few words with our fellow citizens on the question of how andl where this holiday money is to be spent. Are you going to patronize the mail order houses this year as perhalps many of you did last year? Or are you going to, if necessary, even make a slight sacuifice and stick to home people? Whence came the money that you are intending to sond to that mail order concern?' Did it come from the city in which that concern is located? Not by a long shot. If you are a far'mer it is the lpoduct of the soil. What soil?, Why, the soil of your community. Now you, a sa prlactical farmer know full well the results of' the TONY NASCoTi ruinous pr'actice of taking everything from your land Leader or the carnit nand and returming nothing to it. You know that this prac tice must sooner or later' impoverish your soil and de- waNTs CeMrSox .va stroy your source of income. O,,'Cim sC1oQ Can't you realize that in sending your money awaiy--. from home you are doing to the community just what (continned from Page One.) you would not think of doing to your farm-robbing it of its prodluctive p)ower?
