The spokesman for the Mikado an
nounces that Japan’s relations with
all treaty powers, including this coun
try, were never more friendly. We
are all glad of that. We have for
Japan only the most sincere feelings
of kindness and admiration.
At the same time it is interesting,
and not amusing, to consider these
facts: Japan builds 500 airplanes each
month, keeping seventeen factories
busy night and day. According to
our Brigadier General William Mit
chell, a sound authority on air ser
vice, this Government owns, in all,
„, only 7Q0 airplanes, big and. Httljl. And
~ only'twenty wtrofd braver

Therefore,* Japan builds each month

The rich that fight taxes and yell
for economy fear for one thing even
more than loss of their dollars, and
that is talk of revolution.
Just one thing could bring tflbody
revolution and uprising in this coun
try. And that would be shameful de
feat in war, with horrible loss of life
and property, due to lack of prepara-,
tion.
To very rich men and corporations
that control this nation, dictate its
candidates and *its laws, should bear
that in mind and not push economy
too far.
The British, creators of the super-
dreadnaught, rulers of the sea for
generations, are not neglecting their
air fleet. They have organized a fly
ing service separate and apart from
Army and Navy control, unhampered
by precedent and old-fashioned ideas.
Britain is building airships big
enough to carry bodies of troops, re
placing the old, slow floating troop
ships. These ships, each with five
million cubic feet gas capacity, will
make our Shenandoah or Los Ange
les. look like a tugboat compared with
a battleship.
The shqte will be put to work at
once, carrying mails and passengers
from England to India and other dis
tant parts of the Empire. Thus they
will pay their way in peace, and be
ready for war when it comes.
Is not this country rich and intel
ligent enough to meet the situation,
and keep up with the times ? The fly
ing machine was invented here, and
we sit waiting for other countries to
develop It, and perhaps use it against
us.
.Why must we wait for Europe to
establish a flying service across the
ocean? If our business men, that
talk so much of superior private
ownership, lack energy and courage
to be pioneers, the United States Gov
ernment should do it.

COlTgHS
Instead of merely sending out of
date battleships to cruise in the Paci
fic, we ought to send half a dozen
dirigibles, bigger than anything Eng
land has, each carrying its cargo of
flying machines and flyers, to make
friendly demonstrations in flying
from the mother ships, target prac
tice with imitation bombs against
moving and stationary targets, etc.
Ait that would be instructive, create
thought in foreign countries and pro
mote peace.
The editors of country weekly news
papers are the most influential men
in the United States. Each one can
influence at least one Congressman
artd two Senators, more than half a
dozen so-called “big editors” could
influence them. -
Two thousand of these editors pub
lish this article, sending it into mil
lions of farm houses and village
homes. They should take this ques
tion of air defense in hand, and put
it through, as they put through the
parcels post.
and McCormick.
For some time Mr. Ellison Capers,
of the Board of Public Welfare, has
been making a study of the “poor-
houses” of the state. He presented
such facts as follows:
In the poor farms of the above
counties there are 1600 acres of land.
This, with buildings, equipment, stock,
etc., represents an investment at a
conservative estimate of $110,000,
There were at the time of the re
port 67 inmates being cared for in
these homes. There were 50 people,
the paid employes and children being
fed by the counties, to care for the
above 67 people.
The approximate cost of caring for
these inmates was $26,500 annually.
Fairly, it should be put aBove that,
for several items which should be in
cluded were not.
We know, of should know, how
poorly equipped the present homes
are, as to provision, heating, sanita
tion, etc.
We know how inadequately these
poor and afflicted people are provided
for.
We are not condemning anybody,
but the time has come when our in
telligence should suggest something
better.
These people who are wards of the
counties are not simply poor, but
some of them are blind, some of them
are weak and afflicted.
In an enlightened and sympathetic
state like South Carolina our senti
ment and good sense should provide
something better, especially when it
is ■ the opinion that the better will
cost no more than the present poor
and mean provisions made.
By bringing together the suggested
seven counties provisions could be
made for 70 people in modern, conven
ient, sanitary buildings. A few train
ed and intelligent people could be
employed to care rightly for the peo
ple.
Better medical attention could be
secured than with the present ar
rangements.
The following committee was ap
pointed to formulate some plan to be
presented to delegations from the
counties concerned: Laurens, Dr. R. E.
Hughes, Dr. L. Ross Lynn; Saluda, Dr.
J. Pitts, Rev. J. J. Long; Green

TiaVe prostate trouble, which, if un
checked, often leads to a serious op

neck of the bladder like a washer
Naturally, when the bladder becomes
inflamed by poisons which the kidneys
filter out of the blood, the rritation
spreads to the prostate. As the gland
swells, it closes the neck of the blad
der, making urination difficult and
painful and causing pains in the back,
head and legs.
An easy way to treat these annoy
ing and dangerous conditions is to
take one or two renex pills after each
meal. The renex formula haa been
victorious in thousands of such cases.
One authority says it also has a valu
able tnic effect. Anybody wishing to
prove the value of the formula can get
a full-size, two dollar treatment of the
pills under a money-back guarantee by-
sending the attached coupon to the ad

you can pay the postman two dollars
and postage on delivery, instead of
sending the money with your order.
In any case, if you report within ten

that the technicalities, objected to by
those protesting against the declara
tion of election, were due to some
faul of the City Attorney. This is
to state that the City Attorney was
not consulted covering any of the
points raised by the attorneys for those
protesting, and no point was raised
against any of the proceedings lead

mitted to^the attorney for approval.
In fact, the contest was entirely upon
technicalities and not upon the es

objections might be raised against any
election that was ever held in Clin
