Another trouble with the world is
that so many parents are too laxy
to bring up their children properly.
Be patient, with women who smoke.
They might do worse, they might
chew tobacco.
A woman may be as old as she
looks, but she is seldom as young as
she paints.
You may not believe it, but in a
few parts of the country people are
still riding in buggies.
WELCOME TO OUR GUESTS
Clinton bids a whole-hearted, cordial
welcome to the young people in attend
ance at the Summer Conference now
in session at the Presbyterian Col
lege. This conference is held annuaf-
ly under the auspices of the Presbyr
fcerian church in the Synod of South
Carolina, and brings into our midst
a large gathering of the leading
young people* of that denomination.
The attendance this year has broken
all previous records and every effort
will be made to provide for their
comfort and enjoyment while here.
With due modesty, we would in
form the young people that they are
now in one of the best towns in the
State and are the guests of one of
the most promising educational insti
tutions in the South. Clinton is proud
to have such a fine gathering of
young people in her midst. The citi-
xens of the town will join in and show
the visitors every possible courtesy.
We bid a most hearty welcome to
our guests. That their week’s stay
in our city may be both profitable
and enjoyable is our sincere wish.
INVEST YOUR MONEY AT HOME
Every few days now one reads in
the papers that some progressive
city, county or state has voted or
contemplates voting bonds for vari
ous improvements. When these bonds
are sold in nearly every case they
are purchased Jby some of the great
financial .centers of the country in
stead of by the people of the com
munities issuing them.
And while this condition exists,
some smooth talking “stock sales
man” will 'come along and sell the
himself liable to both commendation
and criticism, the latter is a price
that must oftentimes be paid, but it
seems to us that the opponents of
Senator Dial have resorted to small
tactics in their endeavors to inject
personalities that have no bearing
whatsoever upon their qualifications
for the office they seek.
John J. McMahan who left the du
ties of the state insurance commis
sioner’s office to run for the senate,
would live an isolated and handicap
ped life if he should ever get to Wash
ington. He says that when he is
elected, he will not be on “speaking
terms” with President'CooKdge or any
other prominent Republicans. This
wonderful* statepient came as an at
tack upon Seantor Dial for holding
personal communion with President
Coolidge in his effort to defeat ia raid
on the treasury in behalf of increas
ed pensions for Federal soldiers of
the Confederate war, together with
their widows. A marvelous influence
he would have in a body where the
majority of its members are of a poli
tical faith akin to Coolidge.
Congressman Byrnes when he en
tered the race, spoke with pride of his
record in the lower house but the
biggest part of his time now on the
stump is being given to a criticism of
Senator Dial. . At Camden yesterday
he ventured out to a criticism of the
junior senator’s appointments and
said that no friend of the late Sena
tor Ben Tillman has a chance to hold
office in South Carolina as long as
Senator Dial holds his present posi
tion. All politicians we ever heard of,
Congressman Byrnes included, favor
their friends in the handing out of
appointments. Then McMahan as
serted that MrrDial is supporting the
presidential candidacy of Senator Os
car Underwood and the gentleman
from Laurens replied that it was none
of the commissioner’s business who
he supported.
As the race continues it will grow
in interest and doubtless prove a live
ly battle. Up to the present time,
Mr. Blease has conducted a very quiet
campaign and is not manifesting his
old-time fire and prejudice. He will
poll a considerable vote, however, but
it is hardly conceivable that he will
get the nomination. The vote divided
beween Dial and Byrnes, it is very
probable that Blease and Dial will go
into the second race. With that line
up, Dial will easily win.
TWO KINDS OF POLITICIANS
It appears that men are becoming
much more practical in their politics
than they used to be and are prone
to elect their representatives more
from the viewpoint of what they are
able to accomplish rather than a con
sideration of how effective they are
as orators and self-advertisers. There
was a time when oratory had a larger
place in political achievement than at
present. It waa more the question
then for questions to be fought out
in debate and that man had a great
advantage who was able to present
his side of the question in the most
people of the same community an! an d effective manner. At

These salesmen never offer six or

know it will fail to attract. Instead,
in order to save time on account of
the greater bulk of legisUtive work,
men are called upon to ‘serve upon
committees more often than to en
gage in debate. The committee work
calls for calm deliberation and the

FORD IN FLORIDA.
FIVE BILLION CIGARETTES.
THE POST OFFICE PAY.
“McADOO AND SMITH.”
Henry Ford has bought a great
tract of Und in Florida, including a
county seat and a good many build
ings. He gets wood for his can from
forests in the North. He will now, it
is said, establish rubber plantations
in Florida to supply material for his
tires.
“From producer to consumer,” is
his motto. *
Watch Florida! That one State
among forty-eight in this Union will
before many years have passed to
a gigantic nation in itself.
One task in the United States is
not neglected, and that's the job of
burning up cigarettes. In April the
factories turned out more than five
thousand millions 1 of cigarettes, and
the output is constantly increasing.
In four months this year the country
smoked two thousand million more
cigarettes than in the same period
last year.
If young gentlemen devoted to
other tasks the concentration and
careful attention and choosing that
they devote to cigarettes, what a
world this would be for accomplish
ment.
It is suggested that President Cool
idge will veto the bill to raise the
pay of post office employees, on the
ground that “the nation can’t afford
it.” The President would hardly say
that. The nation CAN afford it, and
it can’t afford to treat faithful pub
lic servants meanly.
The nation supplies the President
with a fine private yacht to go sail
ing, one that burns many gallons of
oil and employs many men. If the
nation can afford that for the Presi
dent, who gets $75,000 a year besides,
it can afford to pay living wages to
the letter carrier, who pays for his
shoes three times what he used to
pay.
Secretary Wilbur of the Navy, says
that Congress “must never have
power to override Supreme Court de
cisions.”
Why not? Supreme Court decis
ions are no better than the men that
render them. And judges are no bet
ter than the man appointing theta,
presumably.
Congress represents the people, and
if the people cannot be trusted to

finest thing that there is—to set the
red blood a-zippin’ and to make our
emotions whizz,—O, it’s then we* can
slip the halter off—an’ roll, to our
heart’s content—an’ get up so’ shake
ourselves, an' feel like a hundred an’
one per cent!
As soon as the picnic season’s on
—an* the styles begin to advance,—
it’s proper to think of the custard
pie, when selectin’ yer sun-kist pants

the peanut salve, which is staple as
alfalf hay—They’re items to be pro

He now says he will do so “unless

likely that either party will consent
to such a purging as Dr. LaFollette
