Everyone must lament the great strife now going on in the * Old World and the disturbance to commerce that naturally re-: suits. Of course, that disturbance affects some of the bellig-; erent nations more than others, but all will suffer. Now comes the opportunity for this country to push business in South America and other parts of the world and to build up our mercantile marine which, so far as foreign f trade is concerned, has been a t neeliirihle ouantitv for a crood many years. It has been well said that the best proof of a man's character js his manners. To be sure, it is not an infallible test, for many a rascal has been distinguished by his suave and polished manners, and on the other hand ex- ' treme diffidence or natural awkwardness sometimes makes a man of purest character act in a boorish mood* But almost invariably it will be found that good j ma nners and good charaoter go hand in hand, and the lack of one usually means the lack of! the other. Every lover of Hbmanity must necessarily hate war. All the the same, it is to be hoped that the present European conflict may last long enough to enable; t he spirit of democracy to assert itself that the despotic rule of 'absolute monarchs and bureaucracies may come to an end and; the reign of true liberty begin. , But for the whims and lust for power of monarchs and autocracies there would be no war. for the rhasses are content to live in . harmony with the world. The most conspicuous personage just now is Dame Rumor. She has more to say than anyone else about the war. and he is ' foolish who pays much attention to what she says. Her statements are misleading because ihey are of the imagination and too often tinctured with prejudice. The only thing to do is to ix>ssess one's soul in patience and wait until the censorship is lifted and the real facts come to hand. ! And now it is said that the unpleasantness in Europe prevents this country from getting new fashions in clothes. That may piove a blessing. It certainly will if it leads Americans to design the fashions in women's dress and men's clothing providing. of course, the home-made creations should be modest and sensible. With nearly all Europe engaged in the greatest war of the ages what becomes of the old argument that to be prepared for war is the best gUaranI tee of peace? As a matter of tact a nation with a big armament and a little boy with a sharp knife are much alike. The consequences are sure to be disastrous in each case. / At the rate the war corresIHMidents of the the metropolis press are killing off the coiqbatants in the European war the war must soon come to an end for lack of men to bear arms. I P % 4A i .4 . v: . - . # Somebody has condensed all j the mistakes of life and reached | the conclusion that they are fourteen in number. When a man has made some blunder wherdby all his hopes and plans come to najight he is ^inclined to think that he has committed all fourteen mistakes at once. The enlisted men in the United States navy will feel more than ever that they are men and not mere machines, as the result of Secretary Daniel's new rules which give them better treatment and more consideration. Nearly everybody believes in reform of some kind or other but the work of securing reform is usually left to the comparatively few who get more criticism than praise unless the reform becomes popular. The man who loiters on the street corner settling the European muddle might, not unlikely, do better settling his own affairs. "Let the Heathen Rage." Immediately after the result of the primary election became known, the News and Courier received the following dispatch brom Senator Tillman, giving passages between himself and Governor Blease: Tillman to Blease; Sept. 1910: "The Hon. Cole L. Blease, Newberry, S. C.: Congratulations. Let the heathen rage." Blease to Tillman, Aug. 1912: "B. R. Tillman. Trenton. S. j C.: Let the heathen rape. They ' still rage." Tillman to Blease, Aug. 1914: "Hon. Cole L. Blease. Columbia, S. C.: The heathen still rage, but the people rejoice. See Deuteronomy, 32:15. Good-bye." Steele Creek Items. Times Correspondence.

To tho Votor* of York County: I desire to express my thanks to the many who have piven me the support of their suffrage in the Democratic primary in which, of twelve candidates for the Legislature, I ran second, lacking only 45 votes of election on the first ballot. Further, I wish again to invite the support of the voters, promising that, if elected, I will give them honest and faithful service to the best of my ability. 1 have based my campaign on no man's weakness and on no man's mistakes; I have spoken unkindly of no other candidate for the office, nor do I intend to; 1 have sought the office of representative from York County in what seemed to me a manl^ way, offering myself as one willing to give my best service and properly to esteem the honor of standing for the citizenship of York. Fort Mill?my home town ?has seen fit to indorse my candidacy by- giving me nearly 90 per cent, of its total vote. Fort Mill always has stood back and, almost isolated as it is from the rest of the county, has willingly supported for county offices men from other sections of the county. Returning this courtesy, the rest of the county usually has accorded support to one Fort Mill candidate for the Legislature. urun.. * 1- a.* h nut- i muKi* tniH suggestion in appealing for your support, I wish it understood that, if elected, as I expect to be, my voice ancf vote in the House of Representatives will not l>e raised for one section against another?1 pledge myself to regard all parts of York County as equallv deserving of the best that can be obtained, and to cast every vote and make every speech for the good of the people, whose servants all public officials must be. The time between the two primaries is short, and a personal canvass is impossible. Let these, my expressed pledges and pleas, take the place of face to face conversation; let them have the effect of my very strongest personal assurances. 1 appeal to my friends not to assume that I will be nominated in the second primary anywav, but to be sure to go to the polls and support me on election day, September 8. For your past support 1 thank you; I ask for your support in the second primary on the grounds set cut. Yours very truly. W. R. BRADFORD. Fort Mill, Aug. 31.
