Three of the greatest. railway linen trav4*rslng the South 0 nter thin city and give* Cutti d4*n railway facilities and freight rates that ur?> enjoyed by hut few towns in this Htate and of the South. Our advice to those who middle Into < Georgia's affairs would he to let those people alone before they make an al ready aggravated case even yt'orae. The Klngstree Record puts over tll4*K4? thr4*4? gO(Sl ones: "It Is well to tie to the man who warms up In the Interest of his home town. There are no icicles on him. "Kvery man 1h appreciated In Home way or another; the grouch or knock * er, for Instance, when hey takes his leave, "The heart and the mind make the man, lint the pocket book g reases Ids way through life. Ease us along with that past due subscription." Supervisor West Informs us that he will soon have the road between Cam den and Hethune In as g(nsl condition as that between Kershaw and Cam den. The road from Camden to Ker shaw, Is always favorably commented ujM)H by tourists who come through Camden. if Supervisor West puts the other roads leudlng Into , Camden in c<ptal condition, we see no reason why this county should not keep htm, ,/gi a grod many years as the manager of h<*r roadways. We know he will have tin* support of those who have a great deal of travottng to do. The Kaiser, who Is said to be the third richest person In the German Empire, Is reported as having lost In private fortune something like twen ty-six millions of dollars since the. be ginning of the war. He Is said to be a heavy holder in the Hamburg Aiucrlcan Steamship line and in the Krupp works. our Kemhert correspondent says ^te Is afraid Clenison College will recom mend too much ? that book farming is no good. The Chronicle each w4M*k gives considerable space to suggestions sent out by Clemson and so does many other pajiers throughout the state. We are not farmers and know absolutely nothing about farming, and in thfe connection we would like to have ex pressions from our farmer friends as to whether they derive any benefit from the Clemson bulletins published in this paper. Ix?t us hear from you. Why Turn Back? The majority of the people of South Carolina want i>olitlcal iM*aee and a constructive program of progress. We are on that road now, so why turn back? ? Spartanburg Herald. ' ' The Itcam in Oqr thvn Eye. South Carolinians who resj>ect law and order ran ill afford to condemn at this time tin1 action of the Georgia! mob in taking !,<>o Frank from the state prison and making away with him ? for tin* Wlnnsboro tragedy is still fresh in the minds of the people. This state itself is just emerging from il result of disregard of law in high places, thus making for lynch law and the like upon the part of the i>oople at large, and It little behooves us to |K>lnt the linger of scorn at lieorgia. ? Johnston Times. The election of Sam J. Nicholls.- of Spartanburg, over his opi>oncnt, 11. A. Morgan, of Greenville, seems practl cally certain according to early returns from the primary held Tuesday. Nich olls seems to have a majority of 575. Surgeon General Knp^rt Blue of the public health service; and a native of this state has l?een awarded a gold medal as the American physician who did most for humanity in meillclnes In 1014. Watch for "Noal of the Navy" to start in The Chronicle soaa. Writing from Washington under date ?>f August 22, II. K. 0.

Hut If It is the opinion of his friends that It Ih his duty to lead the people In the fight which Ih to he made next year, be can not give a deaf ear to such a call and he will resi>ond. YOUR TOWN. 1'atronlZe home j>eople, where your Interests are and help maintain and support these Interests ? your interests, your neighbor's Interests. (Jet that selfishness out of your heart that 'is envious of every success; that wants to pull down every interest that seems to reach beyond yours, and is In real ity an advantage to It and the town. Never Imagine when a few shekeln accumulate In your wallet you must necessarily go out of .town to spend them, thinking it would never do to distribute a little cash to your home merchants, since you can stand them off for six months or a year. Mistaken Idea. They'll appreciate the cash and give you just as good bargains as any fl^erchant In neighboring towns or clt los that may get your cash. " TChcourage Inane dealers aiul manu facturers in everything not only by your patronage but by words of en couragement and commendation. This la. the way to build up a town and make business lively; and be sure you patronize your home paper when you see It. stands by your Interests, lauds every legitimate enterprise, and wafts to the world doings, transactions, pic turing advantages, holding out Induce ments, and In a thousand ways build ing up your Interests. If It deserves not your hearty and liberal support, who does? Don't keep It down, then, floundering for an existence and gasj> lug for breath. It Is a mighty poor rule that won't work both ways. Stand by your town and support all Its Interests. ? Selected. THE SPEED MANIA. The speed mania Is a menace to the land and no section Is escaping the dangers of fast driving high power cars. Within the past few weeks there has been an unusual number of com plaints about the fast and dangerous driving on the streets of the city, suf ficient to cause the authorities to pause and give the most energetic attention to the growing tendency to throw re straint to the wind and drive fast re gardless of the laws and regardless of the attending dangers. _ It Is a temptation to the most thoughtful and careful driver to speed \y> when he strikes a long stretch of level road, and the driver who does not feel the moral responsibility of his position Is always ready to "open up." This is always attended by dan ger, especially In thickly |H>pulated sec tions of the city and there is sufficient of this tendency to keep every mother's heart over anxious. The disposition In so many quarters to run high power machines at high speed Is too prevalent and ought to be stopped before it becomes necessary to call in the undertaker. ? Salisbury Post. It Is reported on reliable authority in York that the newest candidate to announce bis intention of running for congress from the Fifth district next s\nnmer is X. W. Hardin, of Rlacks burg. Mr. Hardin Is a lawyer and has offered a number of times for political office in Cherokee county. He was an avowed supporter of the governor In 1012, being elected to the house of rep resentatives from Cherokee county in that year. He wns defeated for the state senate from Cherokee county tn the last primary.; ? YoTk News. Hurt!

"Mistress Nell" Is considered the greatest heroine of historic and ro mantic drama, and as personified by Mary Pickford Is a character of de lightful femininity combined with the dramatic force inherent in all the work Of this gifted star.

'ultimately wins his heart and love, are picturesquely, dramatically, and often tensely depicted.
