Thursday, Nov. 16, 1916.
The price of groceries and commodities
of all kinds is something
awful. We are mighty glad the farmers
are coming into their own, but
the fellow who does not possess any
cotton is catching the mischief now.
Every now and then we notice
some paper buys itself a new dress. I
The Johnston Times is the latest to
make marked improvement. The pa-|
per has recently installed a linotype
machine, and it is now one of the
best printed and best edited newspa
pers that come to our exchange table.
We congratulate Editor McGhee.
Considering the amount of money
the people of Bamberg spend with
the merchants of Orangeburg, it is a
strange thing that the Orangeburg
merchants cannot get after the authorities
of that county and get them
to do some work on that part of the
Orangeburg road that lies in Orangeburg
county. The road is in a fierce
condition.
That was an excellent recommendation
of the grand jury that Bamberg
county purchase a road tractor,
^ and we hope that the suggestion will
be carried out. Supervisor McMillan
is building some good roads in the
county, but it is utterly impossible
for him to keep them up properly
under the present system. As the
matter now stands, the county is
building good roads and allowing
them to go to ruin for lack of repair.
A road tractor could, we believe,
scrape ten miles of roads a
day, maybe more. By keeping the
machine steadily at work repairing
roads, every mile of good roads in
the county could easily be kept in
excellent repair, and thereby save
the county hundreds of dollars; for
if the roads are not kept in proper
' ' repair it will be but a short time before
they will have to be rebuilt at
large cost.
In the leading editorial of the
Charleston American of November
10th, headed "Mine Enemy's Book,"
appears this statement: "Every man
who understood the primary oath to
include the Democratic electors was
bound also. But every man who understood
it to mean, to'hat has always
heretofore been its meaning, that it
bound him only as to primary nominees
and not on presidential electors^
was free to vote the electoral ticket
of his choice. This is what we did;
and after the greatest amount of
conscientious hesitation we voted the
Wilson ticket, largely because we
could not vote the Republican ticket,
certainly not at all because we felt
in the remotest bound by the primary
oath." We do not know who wrote
xne editorial in tne American, out'
Mr. John P. Grace is the the accredited
editor of that newspaper, and it is
to be presumed that the article was
from his pen. Our information is
that Mr. Grace did not vote at all in
the general election. Will Mr. Grace
or the American kindly enlighten us>
on this matter?
Here's how one of the big news
gathering agencies had the election
figured out. in the newspapers it represented.
Wednesday morning. Many
of the New York and other newspapers
carried the story:
Charles Evans Hughes add Charles
Warren Fairbanks have been elected
president and vice president of the
United States by a majority of approximately
110 in the electoral college.
Hughes now has 297 votes;
v Wilson 187.
The Republican candidates have
made almost a clean sweep of the
Northern, Eastern and Western
. . States.
So complete was the Republican
sweep that there seems to be a probability
of an overturn of the Democratic
majority in the house of representatives.
A It V) mi p-h oil tha Wilcnn nntrc-r\o
... v4Qaa v?<* viiu ?? xm/vii iic ?? c^a~
pers in Greater New York conceded
Hujrhes's election Dy midnight, the
Democratic managers steadfastly insisted
that Wilson had been elected.
All of which shows that the big
fellows don't know a great deal more
about a presidential election than
other folks. Of course the Democratic
newspapers will have to be
pardoned for making a few jibes at
the Republican papers; and the coldfooted
New York Wilson papers will
have to also come in for a little ridicule.
The reelection of President Wilson
is one of the wonderls of the century.
When it is recalled that the president
lacked something like two million
voies or receiving a majority four
yea^s ago, it will be seen what difficulties
surmounted his race this year,
when he was pitted against a solidified
Republican party. The best part
of the campaign this year, from a
Southern point of view, is that Wilson
was elected without the help of
New York, New Jersey, Illinois, or
Indiana. These States no longer control
the elections. It has heretofore
been considered impossible for a president
to be elected without carrying
at least New York and several of the
other States mentioned. "As New
York goes, so goes the election" is
no longer applicable. The great West
has awakened to the fact that when
it votes almost solidly in favor of a
president, the North and Middle
West cannot cast the deciding ballot.
Wilson and peace, or Hughes and a
possibility of war seemed to have
been the way the situation was sized
up. The Western wheat planters
realized the jeopardy in which their
product was placed. The election of
Hughes meant at least a stronger
possibility of war than the election
or' Wilson. With war between the
United States and any European
country, the exportation of wheat
would be stopped. The wheat planters
are now receiving nearly or quite
$2.00 per bushel for their product, i
With the exportation stopped, the;
price would drop to almost nothing, j
as cotton dropped when the European
war first started.
^
Diplomacy.
"Papa," inquired a young hopeful,
of some seven summers as he looked j
up from a book he was reading, j
"there's a word here which puzzles'
me?diplomacy?"
"Diplomacy, my son," and the old;
man smiled paternally as he said, "it
means this: Doing or saying'precise-!
ly the right thing at precisely the
right time."
"Ah!" retorted the young hopeful,,
"then I guess I exercised diplomacy
last night."
"How, my boy?" inquired the fond I
parent.
"Why I rolled Johnny over into my j
place just before ma came in with the j
castor oil, and then back again just
before she came to the other side."?

This battery is built specially for

work.
Here ia an examnle of the thorough "" Nj
way in which Delco-Light is made.
Instead of stopping after they had
built the Delco-Light engine, generator,
and switchboard, and then buying
any good battery, our engineers
realized that the storage battery is
an important part of any lighting , A
plant and that each part of a really M

fit the; special requirements of every
other part.
