We reouire the name and address of the writer in every case, not for publi cation but for our protection. No arti cle which is defamatory any offensively personal can find place in our columns at any price, and we are not respon sible for the opinions expressed in our communication his wrath. Despise the world if it so please you, but as you have to live in the world and to lean on the world, it is just as well to treat it civilly. Shrewd men who understand their race never seek a quarrel with society. They understand that it is |k>ssible for an individual to lead and quietly control a community, not tb fight it down and not force it to their way of thinking but by means of narrow laws. If you desire to ; reform supposed or real evils or disabuse your fellow men of their prejudices, the surest way not to succeed is to resort to denuncia tion and abuse. Kindness, conciliation and the influence of a good example— these are the true and effective means of reform, THURSDAY JUNE 3, 1915. Weather Foreca»t. Issued by the U. S. Weather Bureau, Washington, D. C., for the week be ginning Wednesday, June 2: The cloudy, showery weather of the beginning of the period will give way to warmer, fair weather Thursday or Friday, and the latter will continue un til the end of the period. “We have not the slightest objections to T. R. and Cap’n Hobson and the edijor of the valued New York Herald zooming over to Europe and smiting the Prussians h and t, but personally we are going fake it out by looking daggers at ’em.”—The State. Can this be the same old Bob who remarked so valorously a short time ago that “we air agwine,” as they say in North Caro- ! lina? Soma Compliment. It is not often an editor hands him self a compliment But this ia the exception, and that is just what we are doing, because a cer tain well known citizen of this commu nity has and ia persistently recognizing the value of this paper as a reliable disseminator of local news, and has paid us this compliment in a manner which speaks volumes for his knowl edge of the good things of life. He is not destitute of the world's goods, but he possesses the rare faculty of holding onto that which he geta,lest the pangs of poverty overtake him in his declining years. He possesses a wide knowledge of local affairs, because he is a constant reader of this paper, and the knowledge extracted therefrom is turned to good account in his own behalf. If an Important event is soon to occur, he knows of it in advance, be cause be has read of it in this paper. If there is a bargain to be had any where in this community he is prompt ly apprised of the fact, because of that, too, he has read in this paper. And if an acquaintance is sick, or death has overtaken some member of a family, or the stork has paid a visit to the home of some friend, he is among the first to extend his condolences or congratulations—because of these, also, he has read in the paper. He is a man of wisdom—a pillar of strength—with a brain which absorbs to the utmost of the essence of life. Few things escape his notice, for he is ever on the alert. But the one thing which he never overlooks is the paper, and therein lies the compliment which we take unto ourself. It gives us a feeling that we are something more than a mere worm in human shape, that we may be even a whole cog in the community wheel. True, he is not a subscriber to the paper—his 11.25 never reaches this office—but he reads the paper just the same. For his neighbor is a subscriber and pays in advance, and in his generdsity he lends the paper to the “pillar of strength”—by request. But it may not always be so. In time we have hofies that the “pillar” will pay us the super-compliment of per mitting us to add his own name town Subscription list—paid in advance, of course. Time sometimes works wonders,even in the newspaper field. And we have hopes, strong hppes. England is experiencing a shortage of cradles, due, it is said, to the stop page of exportations from Belgium and Germany. A fat chance for the United Ststes to engage in another “infant” industry, as it were. “Not so many swallows here this summer as usual.”—Charleston Even ing Post. Of course not. And if the officers of the law continne to do their duty there will be less and less. ‘The worst is yet to come. The newspaper man must learn to spell those Italian names."-Edgefield Adver tiser. True, but until the public also learns, what’s the '‘dlff?” Did you ever notice that if the man changes for the better after marriage, the wife Ukes the credit unto herself and if he goes to the bad the devil is to blame? . ♦ a The world owes every man a living, but the street corner is a poor collec tion agency. A town ia like a girl. It wonderful wonderful what a little fixing up will do for her. ♦ Don't spend so much time talking war that you haven’t time left to talk business. An Ordinance.
