The Times heartily endorses the following from the esteemed Rock Hill Record: "We have read no more welcome news in many a day than that W. J. Bryan had resigned i as Secretary of State. That was the only mistake that President Wilson has made so far, when he offered that portfolio to Bryan, and now we are mighty glad that the Nebraskan has dropped out of the President's official family. Bryan has always been more or less of a disturbing ele- i meitf in the Cabinet. He has always considered himself a "bigger man" than Wilson, and apparently has wanted the people to feel that he has been the directing force behind the Wilson apministration. His fatuous intimation that he resigns because he fears the United States will be plunged into war with Germany by reason of President Wilson's present attitude is absurd. No man in this country desires war less than President Wilson, and no man will keep us out of war better than our President. "Bryan is a rank quitter and he has not shown a particle of courage of his latest step- dura most critical period in the his-: tory ot our country. tic should have held on to his post until the present serious si'nation had been solved, and he should have exhibited more faith in his chief, the President. We have never been able to view Bryan as any- j thing: more than a politician, and this step of his more than confirms this view of him. When you say he is a brilliant orator you have said it all. He never has been a statesman. His r.ct of self-elimination will strengthen President Wilson in the confidence of the country, if that is possible." Keep Them Out. It seems, from what can be gathered from the newspapers, that street, carnivals have been ; knocking at the door of the city of Columbia, and that after hearing from the business men the council decided not to open the door to them. | This looks good, and we are glad that these frauds are catch-1 ing it in a good many other places. People are having their eyes opened to the evi's incident to carnivals, and they are not having the walk over that they used to have. Greenwood got her fill long ago, and it is not likely that she will have any more trouble along this line. The shows that many of them have are indecent, and from a finonoiol ilwui I..-. -.. .

The average American citizen would rather kill time reading an exchange of "notes" with Germany than to kill time six feet beneath the sod or hundred& of fathoms beneath the ocean's surface.

By B. C. Blankcnahip. There is a general supposition o mnnrr f moinrif \r nf ntmnlo I l>liV 1JIUJV1 I VJ VI pv.vpiv that heroes originate only in battle and time of war, but this idea is erroneous. Some of our greatest heroes are heroes of peace. One, especially, do we have reference to here and believe him to he paramount?William Jennings Bryan. Three times Mr. Bryan has attempted to capture the presidency and pilot his nation thru a tide of peace and prosperity. Realizing that he could do-more and be in closer touch with his people as Secretary of State than in the President's chair, Mr. Bryan sat at the great Democratic convention in 1912 and used his influence in nominating Mr. Wilson as a candidate for the presidency. Mr. Bryan has never believed in war and has always advocated peace. Nearly thirty times has Mr. Bryan made peace treaties with the principal nations of the world. On this last occasion, \r- r> _ii u? ij : uuitco navu cvci t\iinwII? une had to have a stockade around one's smokehouse. ? St. Louis Post-Despatch. Fourth on the Fifth.

Dryaii um an lie vuuiu ill a peaceful and eloquent way to settle the differences between this country and Germany, but to no avail. Wilson agreed with his Secretary of State until rerecentiy, but it seems that Mr. Wilson has let the paid AngloAmerican subsided press pull him, along with the rest of hi? cabinet, into almost war with Germany, because of the fate of the Lusitania. Mr. Bryan realizes that Germany is not Spain. * * * Bryan has retired to private life, but let us not forget the brilliant victories he has won for us. The undying love he had for peace and humanity should ever burn brightly within us. Me was, and is, universally acknowledged the greatest orator of today. Our nation, in time to come, will erect to this man a marble shaft signalizing the greatest hero of all times. A Year Without a Summer. The year 1816 was known throughout the United States as the year without a summer. January of that year was so mild that most people would h;iV'P lot ihpir fnrnaopc irn rwuf had they possessed any, and February was only occasionally colder. March and April coaxed the buds and flowers out, and May was a winter month with ice and snow. By the end of May everything 'perishable had been killed by the cold, and the young leaves had been stripped from the trees. June was as cold a3 May. Both snow and ice were common throughout the month all over the corn belt, and after having planted corn two or three times the farmers threw up their hands. Snow fell ten inches deep in Vermont. The following winter was the hardest the people of the United /\o Um?/v /~V? - Compulsory Law is Popular. According to reports received by the State superintendent of education, 71 districts in 26 of the South Carolina counties have already accepted the local Option compulsory school attendance law enacted at the 1915 session of the Legislature. This measure. known as the Sinkler-Hawkins bill, provided three months of introduction by ?he various disr tricts. > - * Six cities and Towns with "population above 1,'500 are included in the list. . Spartanburg "filed a petition signed by a majority of its qualified electors and * thus was the first city in the State to accept the principle to go into operation on July 1. Columbia, Greenwood, Abbeville, Florence, and Winnsboro voted almost solidly for the law on June 8. Perhaps the greatest interest in (he compulsory school election was shown in Greenwood, where the vote was 271 for and 27 against. Among State-aided high schools, Winnsboro alone has so far reported acceptance of the law, although it is certain that other high school districts will be included in later reports.
