The result of elections in several states last Tuesday showed big Democratic gains, which if the trend continues until next year, presage a considerable change in ^congress. Unless the Republican party manages to ^^ ceomplish a great deal more in the ne-it^welye- months than it has since last March, undoubtedly there will be a big slump in the following of the G. O. P. and we may confidently look forward to the gaining of a good many seats in congress if indeed we will not be able to elect a majority. As the1 days go by and the people of the country realize that their condition grows worse instead of better under. Republican rule there is a growing revulsion of feeling against the party in power. If we are to judge them by their fruits, they will certainly be found wanting on elec_>i _ _ ^ ^ ^ tion day in iyzz. STUNNING PROPOSAL. Xo one can doubt that the United States is in earnest about disarmament after reading the proposals submitted to the* disarmament conference by Secretary of State Hughes. The plan proposed by the American ^delegation, through Mr. Hughes, its leader, is more drastic than anyone had reason to believe would have been made by any country. It is a program the adoption of which apparently means more than a naval holiday for a period of ten years, because under the terms of replacement comraces among nations to see which could build the largest battleships would end. Whether of not England and Japan will be willing to go the length to ^ ~ W AAlintmr Vl o c? nf forPfl 'A _ IUVII Ull^ > k,VUUI.i jr 11UO ^ pears to be doubtful, but the world at large will know whose fault it will be I . if the race for naval supremacy continues. Reading the figures of the naval programmes of Japan, Great Britian and the United States, as mapped out for the next six years reveals a real necessity for some such drastic reduction as Mr. Hughes has proposed. According to figures sent out by the Associated Press by the time 1927 rolls around Japan will have nearly caught up with the United States in ships and ' tonnage. t There has within the past fewvjw&s appeared in Japan a fevers' naval activity. The programme which has been laid down by the Orientals will within a few years materially increase the naval strength of the Hermit Nation almost to a posi^ tion of parity with the United States. To be sure a good part of this projjgjj gramme is still on paper, so that no great hardship will be entailed upon 9 the Japanese. The manner in which ' they accept the offer of the United States may be some index of whether ^ ox* not they are really anxious for peace, or whether the race for l supremacy on the seas is to continue \ with the inevitable consequence of President Harding has at the be^R^fpnryng apparently gone the limit. His proposals have stunned those f with whom he has to deal. While they are far-reaching indeed and if adapts ed will mean a greater sacrifice for ? America than the other nations involved, we believe that the country generally will back up the administration in its effort to settle any questions that may lead to war, and prepare for real peace, at the same time relieving the taxpayers of all countries involved of a considerable burden. The deliberations of the conference will be watched with interest. The recent death of the son of Mark Hanna, calling attention to his many marriages and divorces, confirms cur opinion that, as practiced in some states ,divorce is not much better than a system of licensed polygamy. South Carolina should be proud of her unique position on this question. MONEY FOR TOAD BUILDING. There will soon be available to Bouth Carolina another million dollars or more of federal money with hvhich to bu.ld good roads. While She times are hard, the legislature nvill no doubt find some way to match this federal money. There is plenty of room for its expenditure in South Carolina, and while times are hard the dollar will go a great deal further ? than ever in construction work. So inany people are really in distress for j jack of employment that some means | fcught to be found to make these 'funds furnished by Uncle Sam as riuickly available as possible. WHO WILL HE BE? i Every few days we hear of a new name being suggested as a candidate ^or governor. By the time the en* 'tries are closed, however, the crop \vill doubtless have suffered somewhat from the blight of indifference, and many champions will doubtless ^iave a poor opinion of the patriotism, of their friends. There is a big opportunity for a really big man as ' governor, both in the matter of genuine tax reform and in drawing the | people nearer together and aiding j them to bridge the hard times whicn ;Are apparently staring them in the Stace. But?will we be able to get the big man to run, and will we have a chance to be elected if he run. It remains to be seen. ? GEN. CARR ELECTED TO HEAD VETERANS I I At the convention held recently at I Chattanooga, Tenn., General Julian I S. Carr, of Durham, X. C., was elected i commander-in-chief of the United j Confederate veterans to succeed K. j 31. Van Zandt, of Texas. Richmond, Va., was^chosen as the next reunion j city. The reunion went on record j with a declaration that "these reun- j ionp' would be 'continued from year to j year so long as there are as many as j four veterans left alive and able to j travel to the reunion city and so long ; as the people of southern cities see! fit to invite them to come." m , ? 311"CH MONEY AVAILABLE FOR ROAD BUILDING i I Washington, Nov. 13.?Twenty-five i million dolars is immediately avail- i ! able for the continuation of good j roads projects in the several states of J the union.

This money will be prorated among i the several states of the union, but j must be matched, dollar for dollar, by jthe* state appropriations. Texas, be- j i - * cause of its extensive territory, will j I receive a larger share than any other j states, $4,425,172.41. New York fol-j lows with $3,690,447.97. Then comes1 Pennsylvania with $3,39S,953.97, and Ohio with $2,823,004.05.

Nov. 12.?The World Peace j Foundation tonight gave figures com- j piled from reports of the Secretary of i the Treasury which it said showed ! the United States Government in the 131 years of its existence under the Constitution had spent nearly fourfifths of its total ordinary disbursements on war or things relating to war. Tables prepared by the foundation showed total ordinary disbursements from 1789 to 1920. of $66,728,209,409, of which the war items amounted to $56,607,4S9,927, or 78.5 per cent. The war items were classified as j j follows: War eDpartment, ?24,294,-| 476,S72; Navy Department, $7,653,-1 866,815; pensions, $5,876,021,640; interest on public debts, $5,232,615,199; special disbursements 1917-1920, $9,550,309,399. Official figures were given to show the cost of the Civil War, including interest on the public debt from 1861 to 1893 and pensions to that date, had run to $12,322,186,601, or more than the Government had spent in all its previous existence. The cost to the United tSates of the World War was 'given as more than $33,000,000,000. Debts deferred makes the sheriff come quick.

CALOMEL MAY TI KN OX VOL NEXT TIME Next Dose You Take May Salivate, and Start World of Trouble Calomel is mercury: quicksilver. It | crashes into sour bile like dynamite, J cramping and sickening you. Calomel j attacks the bones and should never bej put into your system. If you feel bilious, headachy, constipated and all knocked out, just go to your druggist and get a bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone for a few cents which is a harmless vegetable substitute for dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and if it doesn't start your liver and straighten you up better and quicker than nasty calomel and without making vou sick, vou iust go back and get your money. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Xo salts necessary. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and can not salivate. CLKRK'S SALE. State of South Carolina, County of Lexington.?Court of Common Pleas. U. H. Gantt, Plaintiff vs .J.
