Things You Don't Know.
We of today often admire the
knowledge displayed by our
friends and our neighbors, and
occasionally we may entertain a
slight conception of that which
we ourselves possess. But we
are not prone to speak of or to
admit of those things that we
don't know.
Por instance?you don't know
when the war will end. You
don't know which side will be
the victors. You don't know
what conditions will prevail in
Europe after it is ended. You
may surmise, but you don't
know. You don't know what
effect it will have on this country
when Europe gets down to
business again. You don't know
whether the end*of this war will
1- 4.1 I * * _ ! 11
mum me ueginnmg 01 a woria
peace, or whether it is but the
forerunner of a greater and
more devastating conflict which
will be waged between the old
world and the new?between a
combination of European nations
on the one side, and North,
Central aiid South America on
the other. You don't know, in
the event of such a war. whether
the Americans would continue
to be free and self-governed
countries, or whether they would
become mere overseas possessions
of the kings and emperors of
the old world. You may poo hoo
and swell out your chest, and
let the eagle scream, but you
t don't know. You don't know
what congress will do in the
natter of preparedness for this
country. You don't know
whether it will do anything at
all or not?for, truth to tell,
congress is all muddled up and
don't know itself, for it don't
know what you think or what
you know. Fact is, brother,
we don't imagine any of us
know much of anything about
this phase of our national existence,
for we have been too
busy grubbing for dollars to give
,,?u ?u? .
iiiuv.ii uccu iu me jii u.>t-mi or
future welfare of our country.
And, too, we don't know what
the penalty of our indifference
and neglect is going to be.
Now do we?
Note and Comment.
The proposed law to do away
with the paying of a fine and
providing a three-months' road
term for dealers in whiskey will,
to our way of thinking, prove a
hindrance rather than a help in
, enforcing the prohibition law.
The average man who buys a
pint or quart of whiskey from a
tiger feels in his own mind that
he is equally as guilty as the
^ v seller (and he is. in a sense) and
in court he will give the tiger all
the protection possible, knowing
that his evidence means either
acquittal or a road term for the
accused. Some people think a lie
is excusable in certain instances,
and should this road-term law
become effective, we suspect that
"I a large majority of the witnesses
j" J*. in whiskey cases would view the
matter in this light.
Every day is payday at this
, office. Trot right along and receive
our thanks.
* /
It seems a little early in the
game to begin boosting one for
office in next summer's primaries,
but those newspapers that
are devoting columns to lauding
the present governor's administration
doubtless feel that he
will need long and strong help if
he is to succeed himself.
Paint is a mighty useful article
and is much in demand. It
is especially valuable in covering
houses, barns, wagons, fences
and women's faces, and it beautifies
everything it touches. Hurrah
for paint!
Speak softly, step carefully,
act wisely, and you may die happily.
Once dead you will know
n ore than the rest of us.
With all the wisdom of this
community we surely ought to
be able to produce at least one
candidate for the presidency.
It is cheaper to pay for your
own paper than to wear out shoe
leather trotting over to borrow
your neighbor's.
Good advice is a valuable stock
in trade, provided we make use
of it ourselves before passing it
along.
If gasoline keeps on soaring it
will soon be so high that we will
ue rid of the stink.
Sees Manning's Defeat?
An interestinc sitimtfnn i?
veloping itself in the politics of
South Carolina just now. Chief
interest centers in the race for
governor and speculation as to
probable candidates is rife. Will
Blease run? Will Cooper run?
Will Manning run? And if only
two of these enter the race to
whom will the support of the
other go? If all three enter one
will of course be eliminated and
and a second primary between
the other two will be necessary.
To whom will the licked man's
support go in the second race?
These are interesting questions,
pregnant with miles and miles
and hours and hours of argument
that circles the same old
wall at the end. If Blease runs
against only Manning the lires
will be clearly drawn. If
Cooper also enters the race he
will divide Manning's vote, but
will not detract much from
Blease's. But whoever the
entrees, Manning is going to be
the man they will fight hardest,
and is it not entirely probable
that, in thp spcnnH nrimafw
forces of the other candidates
will unite against him and elect
his opponent? Anyway the
situation is viewed it looks to us
up here like they 'bout had the
present governor's goat. ?Waxhaw

Winter's Coldest Weather.
Near zero weather prevailed
| Monday over much of the coun|
try east of the Mississippi "river.
Skies were fair north of the
Ohio during the day, but sleet
storms swept many sections of
; the South all the way to the
Gulf. The center of the cold
i was over West Virginia. At
Elkins the thermometer registered
four degrees above the
zero mark. Miami, Fla., was
uic r> 01 uicoii piaLC, Willi ct reitUing
of 74 degrees. On the
Pacific Coast a new storm was
moving eastward.
Births Far Exceed Deaths.
According to figures just made
public by J. A. Tate, clerk of
court, the deaths in York county
during 1915 hardly more than
half totalled the number of
births. Exact figures furnished
the clerk by the various township
registrars show that there
were 1,203 births and 661 deaths
for the 12 months ending with
j December 31. Not a single
township in the county had a
greater number of deaths than
births.
