The question of a candidate sup- and
porting Jones or Blease is to be made mot
an issue in this county it seems, and rac<
every candidate for office will be asked
to say where he stands.
Blease says he'll put the metro- Ten
politan police in Charleston if the
people there vote for Jones. Charles
ton voted for him two years ago and E
is now getting what's coming to boy
them. But we believe they have con:
profited by their experience, and that tirn
county will give Jones an overwhelm- Cha
ing majority this year. Bos

Every candidate who comes here and
next Saturday is entitled to a quiet, fact
respectful hearing, so long as he con- ba(j
ducts himself in a decent manner, j
and in case any speaker should so far rest
forget himself as not to observe the beil
proprieties of the occasion, you can he
be assured he wTll be called down at
once by the county chairman. But ^
let us have no interruption of the cjjaspeakers
or any howling down tac- be ,
tics.
There is no use to get hot over
politics and fall out with your neigh- V
bor if he does not agree with you. ami
We all have to live here together, no of x
matter whether Jones or Blease is plac
elected, and there is no reason why livii
you should wound a friend for the ligfc
sake of any candidate. Of course we is t
differ, but that is to be expected. Too
Some favor Jones and some favor priv
Blease, and it is their right and we
privilege to do so. Let's remember ed
that every man has a right to his The
' opinion, and so long as he gives the plac
other fellow a right to his, it is all bod
right. or (

A FORMOSAN POCAHONTAS.
s- Japanese Counterpart of Capt. John
Smith Tale.
b- A party of Formosan aboriginals
m of Taiyaru tribe, 53 in number, arre
rived at Moji on the 26th instant, on
n- a pleasure tour through Japan under
lg the guidance of a Japanese police inry
spector from Formosa. They left Moji
e. for Kobe on the same day at noon en
)6 route for Tokyo. Among these toures
ists there is a young woman named
te Yayutsu, to whom a romantic hisis
tcry attaches. The story is wired to
is the Tokyo papers from Moji and
a reads as follows: \
o- Yayutsu is thirty years old and is
ty exceedingly clever. She is a pupil at
tit a school in Formosa and is well skillnt
ed in sewing, reading and writing,
r. She speaks Japanese fluently, and is
versed in the tea cermony, flower ara
rangement and other womanly ace
complishments. Many years ago one
ie Nakano, a chemical merchant of
:e Kyoto, crossed over to Formosa on
? v.?nnrino' Viic ctav in TTnr
it; uusiucso. uui 1U5 UI?J *** a. w
ie mosa Mr. Nakano often ventured inid
to the depths of the forests in quest
ie of chemical plants, and one day he
m was caught by the savages, put under
m arrest and taken to the house of the
ie savage chieftain. A conference was
at held between the chief and his folr.
lowers to determine howr the Japanin
ese captive should be treated, and
their verdict was that he should be
11 put to death.
id Yayutsu was a daughter of the
w chieftain and was then in her sixto
teenth year. She conceived a proa
found pity for the prisoner, and
is earnestly interceded her father for
t- his release. The father was not to
it be prevailed upon. He would, he
<e said, lose face with his clan if he
id should allow paternal affection to inis
terfere with the decision of the tribal j
conference. The girl was, however,
determined to rescue Nakano and
tearfully supplicated 'her father to
lm set the victim free. The savage chief
was so deeply touched by the tender
appeals of his beloved daughter that
U he finally suggested that he should
is renounce her as his daughter so that
s_ he might incur no responsibility for
ie her conduct even if she were to elope
ie with the prisoner. T.he daughter seiz0
ed the chance offered her and exl(j
pressed her resolve never to return
^ home, though she were deserted by
ls the man she loved, unless indeed she
came home with his scalp. Yayutsu
r_ and Nakano fled under cover of night
n to a Japanese settlement, were married,
and have ever since lived hapa
pily together, Mr. Nakano pursuing
n his trade in Formosa.
n A short time ago Mr. Nakano was
2i taken ill and came to Japan for, tl?e
r sake of his health, leaving his wife
in Formosa. Yayutsu recently wrote
a letter to her husband requesting
his permission to visit Japan, so that
k she might rejoin him and see the
s sights of Nippon. Mr. Nakano cheer- i
1_ fully assented to her request, and so
n she is now in Japan on her way to

Some Advice to the Farmer.
Le , , i
if I would like to make a few sug1
gestions to the farmer as to how hie
s. can help in big and little ways to
;n make his wife, as she ought to be, the
y- happiest and best contented woman
g on earth.
r- If there is a telephone line in
)f reach of you, have a 'phone put in
ie your house. If there is none, get to>e
gether with your neighbors and build
ie one. It will pay you as well as give
:o pleasure to your family.
*e Get to work on good reads in your
n community, if you haven't them ali
ready. Then get a gentle horse your
t-c wif*> ran drive and see that it is at
VfcJ " ? d.
her disposal at least once a week.
>d Get a buggy for her to ride in instead
it of having to use the old heavy farm
pr wagon.
1- Subscribe for one or two good mag.1.
azines for her.
i- Make her your business partner
ps and consult with her about every.11
thing. The chances are she has just
?n as much sense and business judgip
ment as you have and she may have
it more.
ie And remember that anything you
of can do to increase your wife's health
to and happiness will increase your own
ie and that of the whole family.?Mrs.

His Motto.

The young hopeful had secreted

some origin uunuuo m mo
P" which came from the automobile
e" show. When Sunday-school was well
~~ under way he took one out and pinned
it on his coat, feeling it an ornament.
Unfortunately when the minister
came around to speak to the
tie children his nearsighted eyes were
;e- caught by the color,
st "Well, Richard, I see you are
ig wearing some motto, my lad. What
tie does tit say?"
ay "You read it, sir," replied Richth
ard, hanging his head,
n- "But I cannot see. I haven't my
to glasses, son. Read it so we can all
a- hear you."
;e- Richard blushed. "It says, sir,
'Ain't it hell to be poor!' "
