B. P. DAVIES, Editor and Proprietor.
THURSDAY, JUI^E 8TH, 1916.
Telling the Truth.
It has been charged time and again
by two-by-twice politicians that the
newspapers do not tell the truth. To
a certain extent that is quite true.
To be frank, it is not always pleasant
and profitable to “tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the
truth.”
Not long ago an Indiana editor,
growing tired of being called a liar,
announced that he would tell the truth
in the future, with the result that the
following items appeared in his next
issue:
“John Bonin, the laziest merchant
in town, made a trip to Belleville yes
terday.
“John Coyle, our grocer man, is do
ing a poor business. His store is dir
ty and dusty. How can he do much?
“Rev. Styx preached last Sunday
night on ‘Charity.’ The sermon was
punk.
“Dave Sonkey died at his home in
this place. The doctor gave it out as
heart failure. Whiskey killed him. '
“Married—Miss Sylvan Rhodes and
James Conlin, last Saturday, at the
Baptist parsonage. The bride is a
very ordinary town girl, who doesn't
know any more about cooking than a
jack rabbit, and never helped her
mother three days in her life. She is
not a beauty by any means, and has
a gait like a duck. The groom is an
b^eoJivMiL
off the old folks at home all his life,
and is not worth shucks. It wttt be * Tarried,
hard life.”
This brings to mind an Illinois edi
tor who grew tired of the liberal use
of whitewash in the matter of obitu
aries and, in telling the truth just
once commented as follows on the
death of a citisen:
“Died.—Aged fifty-six years, six
months and thirteen days. Deceased
was a mild-mannered pirate , with
mouth for whiskey. He came here in
the night with another man’s wife aig
joined the church at first chance. He
owes us several dollars for the paper,
a large meat bill, and you could hear
him pray six blocks. He died sing
ing ‘Jesus Paid It All,’ and we think
he is right; he never paid anything
himself. He was buried in an asbes
tos casket, and his many friends threw
palm leaf fans in his grave, as he may
need them. His tombstone will be
a favorite resting place for hoot owls.”
So if you, dear reader, are one of
those who complain that newspapers
don’t tell the truth, kindly bear in
mind that if the average newspaper
editor told half the truths that be
knows about many of his readers the
court calendars would be congested
with untried suits for criminal libel
Have you ever noticed how few
young men graduate from high
school? In the class this year at the
local school there were nine young
ladies and one young gentleman. And
on the other hand, too few young la
dies finish school in proportion to the
number that enters.
The last Napoleon lost Sedan and
died in exile, because he went to fight
before he was ready. How many
young men and women, when the bat
tie of life is on will fall because they
were not prepared for the contest ? It
is education alone which enables us to
fight from vantage ground. They who
do not have it will not be able to stand
when the heavy charges are made on
them. Success must be won, and how
can it be done without a drilled mind,
like a skillful general, to lead the as- 1
sault? Do not accept ignorance oi*
partial preparation as your lot, if by
means you can escape it. It is not by
jerks that the load is moved?’’'It is the
steady pull that counts. Spasmodic
getting ready usually ends in no prep
aration at all and consequent failure.
The student who goes to school regu
larly, and adds to each day’s acquisi
tion a little more knowledge is grow
ing, i& laying by a sinking fund upon
which he can draw in the future, and
above all, he is gaining mental muscle
to enable him to combat the difficul
ties of his later life.
Candidate C. L. Blease must be hard
pressed for campaign “dope,”—so hard
pressedV in fact, that he is already
drawing pretty strongly on his. imag
ination. For instance, he had the
nerve to tell an audience in Spartan
burg recently that the legislature of,
this State had passed a Maw whiclf
prevents “the poor white farm labor
er and cotton mill opera'tive” from
fishing between Thursday and Mon
day. Saying that about the only
time they had to fish was between
Thursday and Monday, the intimation
was that the law had been passed ex-
pressely to exclude them from that
pleasure so that the rich man might
have a monopoly of the sport.
As a matter of fact, the law is
really a benefit to “the poor man.”
Instead of preventing him from en
joying the sport, it is a great aid, as
it prohibits the placing of nets across
a stream or river between the days
mentioned. Every fisherman knows
that no fish can run up stream in
which there are nets.
Mr. Blease will have to invent an
other one. He is wildly endeavoring
to “muddy the water,” but he will
catch no votes with such cheap poli
tical clap-trap.
As Mr. Blease himself is authority
for the statement that he is not run
ning for governor because he wants
the job, he shouldn’t be disappointed
on the night of August 29th to find
that he didn’t get it.

Our st
ort poem for today:
The girls in a neighboring town
have an anti-slang society. A certain
miss was elected president: • Asked if
she would accept, she replied: “Sure,
Mike, but. gosh, girls, I’m so rattled
in my cupola, that I’m really short
on gab. We are< certainly hitting the
high places and I never tumbled to
•uch a poise before, but when I give
you the high ball I expect you to get
there, £11, aud whoop'er up for all
Married, *.
Harried.
If the Allies are as far from peace
as they are from Berlin, the end of
the war is far from being in sight.
And what has become of the old-
fashioned citizen that complained
about the cold weather?
Our idea of a newspaper sinecure
is writing editorials for The Congres
sional Record.
Interesting local news is as scarce
again this week as the prbfUfbial'hen’s
teeth.
Foolish question No. 5,748,986, “Is
it hot enough for you?” is now in or
der.
And what, may we ask, has become
of thoold-fashioned hobble-skirt?

HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
In announcing my candidacy for the
Legislature, subject to the Democratic
Primary, I wish to notify the voters
that if elected two things will engage
my earnest attention:
First. The adequate pensioning of
Confederate Veterans and widows of
Veterans, and
Second. The release of cotton grow
ers from the spoliation of the New
York and Liverpool speculators. I
demoralized these gentlemen in 1913
and with the cooperation of other
members of the Legislature I can com
pletely rout them in 1917. We have
been long enough the victims of a silly
and vicious system of handling our
cotton. It can and should be reme
died.
