One term In the house of representatives
proved enough of L.. E.
Drehcr for tho peoplo of Dexlngton
county, Drohcr having been defented
for the Stato senate In tho second
primary Tuesday by Dr. D. M. Orosson.
Somebody has said, and truthfully
said, thut education is the nation a
biggest business and by far the nation's
most important Business. According
to the latest tigures available
the total enrollment in educutlonul
institutions of the United, States is
over twenty-four million. Of' these
approximately twenty-one million are
boys and girls enrolled in the public
schools, while ubout one-half million
young men and women aro attending
the colleges. Two years iigo the
men and women engaged In pub
lie school tenchiriK ulone numbered
nearly seven hundred thousand. The
number Is said to have been less lust
r year by about forty thouaund. Yet
this array of figures should not produce
the impression that the eduea,
tlonal machinery of the nation Is in
the best condition. Only 75.32 per
cent, of the boys and glrlB of from
5 to 18 years uro enrolled In school.
It costs tho country Just about $50
u your to train tho pupil in average
attendance in the elementary and
high schools, while the expenditure
per capita of the population is a little
more than $7 a year. Yet a survey
of statistics for the last half century
will show that the country is
making great progress in education.
An increused Interest on the purt of
the federal and State, governments,
larger school appropriations and attempt
to meet the teacher shortage
have been included in educational activity
of the lust yeur. Hut apparently
the most serious handlcnp upon
the schools at tho opening this year
is insufficient teachers and a large
number of poorly trained teachers.
x Xaut year the teacher shortage
ftmolinlnri 111 nnnpl? Inrlu Ihnnninil
, . with more thun sixty forty thousund
teachers poorly trulncd. Along w...?
efforts to get more boys and girls
into school, more of them to stay in
school till their education is reasonably
complete und effort to make the
school period Itself a profitable investment
for youth, must come more
financial support of education in goncral.
lCducutlon Is tho business of
everybody.
Once it bocomcs definitely known
that Mr. Llryan does not intend to
try to help elect Cox and ltoosevelt
his Uouthern friends at least will
leave him like rats deserting a sinking
ship. Prior to the San Francisco
convention last July Mr. Bryan still
had a considerable hold upon the
country, but before the convention
was at an ond most of those who
were willing to listen to what ho hud
to say discovered that he was apparently
bent upon ruling the convention
or ruining tho party's chances
of success In the November elections.
The convention refused to allow hint
oithor to dictate tho personnel of
>* tho ticket or write tho party platform
as became men who were sent
to San Francisco noi to act as messcnger
boys for Mr. Bryan hut to
uso their own Judgment In the interest
of tho millions of Americans
they had been chosen to represent.
Then Mr. Bryan, seeing that his day
as dictator was dono, began sulking
like a spoiled child, used to hnvlng
its way about everything, and does
not even yet seem to have ma lo up
\ ''.Ills mind whether he will support
flr Cox and Roosevelt. We do ndt
. ' know whother the Northern Democrnts
will entertain the same feeling
jra of resentment toward Mr. Bryan that
3?hi ?o iuuiiu KfiMiiany in mo nuuut
nould he Anally decide to cut loose
from the party, but wo cnn assure
him that hereafter and forever hie
r'ame will be nnnthemn In this section.
Always in his races for the
presidency, whatever might bo the
altitude toward him of other sec^
lions, Mr, Bryan could turn his eyes
to the South and, like tho poor old
Confederate ^pteran who witnessed a
panorama of one of the battles of the
Vfhr Between the Sections In which
ly? saw the ragged soldiers of Gen.
Ijm holding fast although practically
pirounded by the enemy, exclaim,
JI "Thank God those are my poople and I
they 4*111 die before thfey' will give up.
hpwayer great the odds." Mr. Bryan
always that he could depend
I^Hthe South. If there were no
reason why he should support
ticket his gratitude to
iXfl^BCtlon should prompt him to
Southern people ' In their
need. That hour Is here
^V^Br If the Republican party
candidate to the presidency
be controlled absolutely' by
.?j^^Hh hat$r LKtdge, the Mormon
th i hog fa| plutocrat Pen'wSHIA
this section will be denied
dM I for four years In the
I'll mmmmrnfa
conduct of the government we muit
help maintain. Our forefathers won
their Independence from Great Brit- j
aln becauso they refused to submit ,
to taxation without representation In
the British parliament Is the South
nny better off with the sbctlonal Re- ;
publican party in control of tho national
government? The Republican
party or any other party that would
attempt to discriminate against this
Motion because it refuses to act honcrtly
and vote us it pleases?that
party Is not worthy the support of
Hie American people and should have
to appeal to Hades only for Its support.
If Mr. liryan Is the ingrate lie
will prove himself should he refuse to
support Cox nnd Roosevelt, we hope
he will keep out of this section, for
our people will not want to see him.
ADD TO WORLD'S WONDERS.
ChcmlstA In IjiM Year Rave Made
Startling Discoveries.
To the seven original wonders of
Ihe world, American chemists within
the last year have added 800 others.
The Inventions, discoveries and
new processes dug out of the bowels
nf the earth, the gases of the air and
the chemical properties of the soil
within the last 12 months caused
gasps of astonisluifont at the convention
of the American Chemical so
rletyj in session in Chicago, nt which
the efforts of 15.000 lending Anierl-"
can experts are t?elng unfolded.
Looking nt the time when coal deposits
may he exhausted, they are exhibiting
liquid coal.
With the price of petroleum distilled
gasoline soaring, they aro making
public a new process of distilling
I his precious commodity from natural p
gas cheaply.
A method of delnking printed paper
so that it can lie used again Is
pot forth as a solution of the print
pnpor problem.
There Is a n-w" anaesthetic containing
the pain killing qualities of
morphine and other narcotics, hut
whtch leaves the patient with no longing
for additional doses, thus eliminating.
they say. much of the drug
habit problem.
They have found a substitute for
alcohol In muking flavoring extracts,
solving a housewife problem and
? liminnting another source of alcoholic
exhilarntion for the thirsty and
reckless.
And among many, many others, a
practical use for the gases Uncle
Fnni manufacterod to shoot at the
Germans, fiddly enough, the uses of
those gases will hit Oormnny anyhow,
as the phn<igpno gases are being
used to make hlue and preen
dyes and for blenching sand to make
''ne optical glasses?fl?oth of which
Industries were formerly Germany's
preeminently.
The range of researches is from
Vow to make chickens grow to unusual
size to methods of blowing down
mountains with high explosives.
"The new gasoline has been so
perfected," said J. \V. Harrlngtoh, a
director of the society, "that thero
are now companies In Pittsburgh
and OH City, Pa., making it. Natural
gas that conies from the wells is
distilled to gasoline. Then there Is
the new liquid coal. It is made from
conl dust, suspended in light oil. It
gives out a terrilic heat and iH cheap.
Now it Is aimed at industrial needs.
but the tlinc will come when it will
bo used for household purposes."

FOdltor Fort Mill Times:
There is u menace that overshadows
our fair Southland that unless
speedily stamped out will surely
prove more disastrous than the
World war through which wo have
Just, passed. It Is more deadly than
any pestilence that devastated any
land. If allowed to grow as It lias In
the last few years it means the destruction
of our civilization.
l,lke till other great nations that
have fallen, the same monster that
Rub-My-Tism is a powerful antiseptic;
it kills the poison caused from infected
cats, cures old sores, tetter, etc.
