Bryan a Quitter.
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

To hear the carnival people
talk they are all good, and their
promises of what they will and
will not do are all that could be
asked, but there is a wide differ-!
ence.between their promise and
the real thing. Greenwood Journal.
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. [

King Cotton is demanding a
big part of the farmer's attention
just now. We hope that I
the price next fall will at least

work he is putting in.
Boys, keep away from the
freight trains. It may mean a
saving to you of a hobble through
life on a pair of crutches.

As a quitter, Mr. Bryan has
the whole bkxmun'-business beat
to a sobbing standstill.

THE WORLD S GREATEST HERO.
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,

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

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

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.

"DodsoR's Liner Tone" Starts Your Liver
Better Than Calomel and Doesn't
Salivate or Make You Sick.
Taston to mo! Tnko no more sickening,
salivating calomel when bilious or
constipated. Don't lose a day's work!
Calomel is mercury or ouicksllver
which causes necrosis of the Imnes.
Calomel, when it eoincs into contact
with sour hile crashes into it, breaking
it up. This is when you feel that awful
nausea and cnynping. If you arc slug
pish unci "nil" knocked out," if your
liver is torpid and bowels constipated
or you have headache, dizziness, coated
tongue, if breath is bad or stomach sour
just take a spoonful of harmless Dodbon-'s
Liver Tone ou my guarantee.
