C.. August 22, 1018 \ . f Your vote is worth more to you ! now than it ever has been or probably ever will be again. i ' The German military men call a 'drive an offensive if it sucoeeds and ' an orderly retreat if it fails. ? 1 Has it ever occurred to you how 'easily the country adjusted Itself to -war conditions? J t I .. .. . . . 7 *i aui utKe a severe drought to foffset the government estimate of 116.000,000 bales. * \ We are wondering how they managed to get along before sugar was discovered? The Florence Daily Times thinks another increase in passenger rates will make it necessary for the railroads to put on additional trains. ? We can stand for the U-boat commanders sinking a few ships up and xdown the coast, but they are going I too far t^hen they come ashore and drink" our liquor. i We have no quarrel with the gen1 tlemen who run the bureau of crop estimates, but it is rather singular that you never hear of them underestimating the cotton crop. | <,? ! t The civil war closed when Lee , ail rronHoro/1 crfr A ? * 1 wv..vuuv?vu uv Xi^j/wiuu IUA anil IU6 1 man who persists in calling our boys ' "over there" "Yanks" needs a calling | down from Uncle Sam. \ If Mr. Blease shout happen to be j elected to the senate we are wonder-' ing how he is going to help the man ' who is supporting him from purely selfish motives. As a rule the son of the man who ! accumulated his money through long < years of hard toil and painful frugality is spending his best days driving an automobile and doing his utmost i to acquire a reputation as a "sport." ' Mr. Wilson has made is very plain that Mr. Blease's presen9e in the sen- ( ate is undesirable. Mr. Wilson is not' a man to use idle words, and in the^e critical times it might be a good idea to keep a weather eye on the man who ought to know better but persists in ignoring the presi- ( dent's wishes. nil 1 nn oniintv hoo ??* 11? U..VJ uua I IT II St/JS 111 IIIU race for state offices. Andrew J. Bethea, candidate for governor, was born in Dillon county, while Junius T. Liles, candidate for lieutenantgovernor, is an adopted son. It is r.oedless to say that both will get a big majority in Dillon next Tuesday. When tlvo president stops long enough to tell the people that Blease wcuia ne undesirable in the United States senate it is time for the people to sit up and take notice. The president knows why this war must be won und he knows many thin us that would cause the people much , uneasiness if they were made public. The president lias no personal intereat in Mr. liiease but he has a deep personal interest in ihe future welfare of the hundred million people he represents. If th? German drive bad continued | successfully It would haw been regarded as a great victory for the! crown prince. Now that it's a failure some fool general will get the blame. The crown prince is the pampered darling of royalty and at no time; since the war tegan has his precious i hide been exposed to the slightest danger. How would you enjoy living | linHor lilinh a eneasnmAnif 1 ...?? ? ft""" Whenever the president pauses long enough to take notice of a state' political campaign it is high time for i the thoughtful people in that state to J wake up. Mr. Wilson makes it vary) plain that he does not want Cole L. J Blouse elected to the United States; I senate, and if there was not some-j .thing behind Blea&e's candidacy the president would not express his dis- j . approval of Blease in such positive j terms. Perhaps the president knows 'something the people do not know, 'but anyway the people can trust the ' president and his note of warning should be sufficient. FOOD REGULATIONS. Be it said to the credit of local business men that the food regulations have been generally observed. As many of the rulings have been voluntary, it is an indication that the fear of being termed unpatriotic has had much to do with the efficient way in which the food laws have been followed. The same applies to families. There are some people, of .ourse, who will not hesitate to put private H(.lfi<4hnoc!C o hnvo A1 I uuu.v |>auluiism 11 iney i can do so undetected, but happily the proportion is very small. As one publication remarks: "The difficulties under which the food official works are manifold. His powers are not clearly defined, he does not have the force necessary to carrying dn his work with the highest degree of effectiveness, and the legal basis for the enforcement of his rulings and the punishment of offenders is not well established". Yet the machinery to guard our food supply against disintegration 1 has been working to the satisfaction of all. No one has suffered seriously becauoe of the restrictions and scarcely anyone considers matters as , they stand a really heart breaking < hardship. We should be willing to go < much farther, if necessary, to defeat . the aims of the kaiser and insure victory. 1 TO THE DI8Q&RD WITH AUTO- | CRATS. , i For 50 years the German people 1 have been led to believe that their army was invincible and could beat anything on earth. But they forgot ' that the world was not debased , enough to permit that army to destroy civilization when attacked and now thoy are beginning to learn t that human destiny and progress cannot be shelved even by the German army. j The next thought that should come to this deluded people is that they ] can wriggle out of their difficulties j by shelving their autocratic govern- j ment and substituting a democratic form. President Wilson and the Allies would be glad to have them do it and a government responsive to the people's wishes in Germany could Quickly get the peace the people so ardently desire. An uprising of the people in Germany against their masters would be the greatest victory the Allies would want, a greater one than if the autocrats remain in power despite the defeat that is coming to their army. The best guarantee of future peace is to put decent men in power in Germany after the war is over. Notice of the Opening of Books of Registration.
