* If the publishers of the Beaufort
Gazette and the Hampton Guardian
would print as good papers at home
as they do in each other's town, both

While she did very ugly about it,
it will be noticed that Germany acOiuieisced
in the demand of the United
States. Some of jthe president's g
critics have said that the diplomacy ^
of the present Washington adminis- j.
tration is the laughing stock or tne e
I.X world. Maybe so; but it must be a g
|?|E Pretty dry laugh. t
' Unless something develops that is r
t . unforeseen at this time, the break c
with Germany has been averted. For f
this success ul diplomacy on the part *
% of President Wilson the nation ren- t
ders its thanks. There is no likeli- 1
^ hood of any change of administra- ^
Itions this year. The diplomacy of j1
Wilson is good enough for us. 11
According to the Newberry Observ|;V>.
er, the reason why we haven't been s
I, v getting any rain lately is that the t
horns of the moon have been turned p
up, thus preventing the water from t
"spilling." As the left-hand horn is p
now pointing downward at a pretty o
s dangerous angle, from the standpoint j tl
?-'> \ i
> 1 of a vessel of water, it ought to be; p
pouring out a little. d
By properly screening your house ^
' and keeping the flies and mosquitoes ^
p| out, you will be protecting yourself
against disease germs. This is the
worst time of the year for malaria.
If you had a pen of fine hogs you J ^
would take every precaution, you
bould to protect them against cholera.
Why not protect yourself and g(
your family against disease which ^
may threaten you?

If the State executive committee d
allows McLaurin to take an hour at b
each of the campaign meetings to ftell
the people why his job is the c
most important one in the State, t
what is to hinder every other inter- y
if': \ est from putting in a mock-candi- d
date for the same purpose? For in- e
stance, the railroads, the insurance u
companies, the cotton mill industry, a
or any other industry or interest. It c
would afford them splendid advertis- \
ing, and the cost would be very little a
compared to the number of people s
who would be reached.

Governor Richard I. Manning will
be renominated this summer, unless
something turns up more apparent ?
than is now visible. We base this s
prediction upon the fact that the gov- i
ernor has given the State the clean- (
est administration in many years, t
The past two years have been mark- 1
ed by earnest effort in behalf of the <
welfare of the State and its people. .
*?? *
- .? _ i. i
And it is a mighty rare tnmg tnai i
earnest effort is not appreciated. We i
, . believe that the people of the State 1
want good government and economi- :
cal administration. This they have :
received at the hands of Manning.
We are frank to say that we believe i
he has lost votes in certain quarters
by his aggressiveness?it was to be 1
expected. On the other hand, we be.
lieve that the clean government he
has given has made votes in other
quarters.
I
Some of our exchanges seem tc
think it is fine to have a State song,
since Reed Miller has set "Carolina,"
one of Timrod's poems, to music.
"Carolina" was set to music many
1 ? An /1A_
years ago uy a lauy nuu uas oiutc ucparted
this life, and the legislature
adopted the song as the official State
song some five years ago. The music
for the song composed by Miller is
sweet and has a patriotic swing to it
that will doubtless make it popular;
nevertheless, let credit be given
where due. A South Carolina lady
originated the idea of setting "Carolina"
to music, and, through her efforts,
it was adopted as the State
song.
One of the arguments used against
the county-to-county canvass was
that the canvass is often used for
purposes other than office seeking,
rhe correctness of this argument is
borne out in the recent announcement
for lieutenant governor of State
Warehouse Commissioner John L.
McLaurin. Mr. McLaurin delivers
tiimself of the startling information
that nobody but an undergrown or a
lead man would have the office, and,
is he does not accuse himself of beng
a dead one, acknowledges that
le does not want the office, but he
loes ask for an hour at every campaign
meeting to discuss the State
warehouse system. While lieutenant
governor is a mighty poor paying
pffice to run for, we cannot agree
vith the warehouse commissioner as
o the littleness of the office. Whenever
a governor dies in office, or reiigns,
and they have been known to
lo it, the office of lieutenant goverlor
would be mighty important. Anyvay
it is not at all nice to be so unjomplimentary"
to the present occu>ant
of the office. But what we started
out to say is that the real candilates
have hard enough time trying
o all speak in the short timp necessary
for a campaign meeting, and
vith a mock-candidate taking up an
lour of the time, it will be still harder.
According to our way of looking
it it, we don't think the State execuive
committee should hesitate a monent,
after what Mr. McLaurin has
andidly said, to decline to allow him
he time he asks. Of course if he
vants to run as any other candidate,
if Viin nmwiloortt- Villi |Vl Q QtoffS
next 13 1113 JJllf uggc, u u v- I.UV uumvw
)emocratic party is not running the
!tate warehouse business, and there
s no reason why it should dabble in
t in any way whatsoever.
A great many of the weeklies and
emi-weeklies of the State are conemplating
raising the subscription
rice of their papers, on account of
he enormous increases in the cost of
aper and printing materials. While,
n account of the particular style of
bis paper, it probably costs us proortionately
more to publish than it
oes the average newspaper, we do
ot contemplate any increase in the
ubscription price. But we do take
tiis opportunity of asking our
riends to meet their subscription amounts
promptly. Do not wait until
e mail half a dozen statements,
hat adds much to our expense. K
osts us a good many hard dollars to
iail statements to all of our subbribers,
so when you see a notice on
^ 1 1 _ u _ 1 O..K
our paper near uie iauei, ium ouuuription
Has Expired," sit right
own and write us out a check. That
ttle sentence is stamped there to relind
you that your subscription is
ue, and that h remittance is in orer.
And, while we are talking
bout it, we wish to say that we lost
good round sum of money by our
as we thought) goodness in sending
lie paper right on for a year or more
fter the war started. Now we have
ever been accused of being capltai5ts,
so we don't mind acknowledging
hat we took this loss to heart a good
eal, and it tyirt in more ways than
y touching the money drawer. Our
riends asked us b> the score to acommodate
them, and we did, alhough
it was the rule to stop papers
fhen they expired. Now, we don't
loubt anybody's honesty, but, howver
honest you are, if you don't pay
ip, it does not help us a bit. Now,
,s we said, we have no idea of inreasing
the price of the paper, but
ve do ask our friends to help us'
ilong by paying promptly when their
iubscriptions are due. ^
About the Kurds.
The Kurds, whose transfer allegiance
from Turkey to Russia in consequence
of the fall of Erzerum, is
low alarming the official world at
Constantinople, trace back not only
:o the Carduchi of classical days, but
car beyond that to the Turanian Kur3u,
who were a powerful nation in
Assyrian times. When Nineveh fell
;hey became merged in the Medes and
up to today have been subject partly
to Persia and partly to Turkey. Be
Ing alien to the former in religion
and to the latter in language, it is
not surprising that they have an indifferent
reputation among their
neighbors. But this is not altogether
deserved, for, though wild and lawless,
they are neither fanatical nor
cruel, and are by nature brave and
hospitable. The Great Saladin was
a Kurd.?London Chronicle.

Supreme Court Defines Wliat Const
tutes Dishonest Advertising.
In defining today more clearly th?
ever before what constitutes di
honest advertising through the mail
the supreme court held in effect th;
advertisers, even though they gr
purchasers value received for the
money, are guilty of fraud if by e
aggerated advertising propaganc
tney nave iea cuenis to exyet-L mor
relates a Washington dispatch <
April 24. Officials declare the d
cision will pave the way to scores <
prosecutions and make possible tl
enforcement of a much more strinj
ent federal supervision of mail ai
vertising.
The opinion was announced by Ju
tice McKenna, reversing the distri<
court in the southern district <
Florida, which quashed an indictmei
against officials of the New Sout
Farm and Home company. The ii
dictment charged unlawful use of tt
mails in selling ten acre farms. Tt
Florida court held that if a purchase
received the money's worth, exagge
ated propaganda was not fraudulen
Justice McKenna took the positio
that it was an offense if the article
sold did not serve the purpose repr<
sented, no matter what the valu
might be.
In discussing what constituted
criminal offense under tne statui
governing the use of the mails, Ju<
tice McKenna said:
"Mere 'puffing,' might not be wit*
in its meaning (of this, however, n
opinion need be expressed), that ii
the mere exaggeration of the qual
ties which the article has; when
proposed seller goes beyond that an
assigns to the article qualities whic
it does not possess, does not simfcl
magnify the advantage which it has
and falsely nvests it with advantage
and falsely invests it with advantage
transcends the limits of 'puffing' an
engages in false representations an
pretenses.
"When the pretenses or represents
tions or promises which execute th
deception and fraud are false the
become the scheme or artifice whic
the statute denounces. Especially^ i
this true in the purchase of sma
tracts for homes."
The case against the Florida coir
panv goes back to the Florida coui
for further proceedings.

We Don't, Do You?
J" Do you like the practice of using a
"V" for "U?" And why it is so used
by architects especially in inscripLnjtions
on buildings? It is simply
s~ harking back to the Old Roman
s' style. Lots of us do not particularat
ly like it. And so we will appreciate
what this man has to say in a recent
