NEW ENGLAND'S VOTE. New Hampsliire's Honors Won by a Close Margin Only. t "Are the other New England States going to ostracize New Hampshire?" the Charleston News and Courier wants to know. Did our Charleston contemporary ever stop to consider how very nearly all of the New England States came to following New Hampshire's lead? Just think of it, and then decide whether New Hampshire behaved very differently from 1 the balance of her neighbors. In Maine, for instance, the Republicans polled very little more than 5,000 majority, when according to the usual processes of New England thinking * she ought to have given 30,000. Massachusetts, which is in the habit of giving a Republican majority in presidential years of from 50,000 to 150,, 000, turned in only about 21,000, while even Vermont and Rhode Island might have followed New Hampif thn Tlam to hud r>TI A t h P OUii ^ U tiiv J^VUXVViMVO 41UV4 WMV smallest amount of work among their voters. Connecticut might also have been won for Wilson, if there had not been a disposition at Democratic headquarters to give it up before the campaign was hardly opened. When it is considered that the whole of New England gave Mr. Hughes the comparatively niggardly majority of less than 40,000, our South Carolina neighbor will be forced to admit that New Hampshire would be in quite aj large and respectable company of New Englanders if she were to be ostracized for having given her electoral vote to Wilson. The Manchester (X. H.) Union, discussing the result in its State, remarks upon the widespread inclination to vote for Wilson because "he kept us out of war," and because "under nis administration uie uuuux try has been prosperous and gives promise to remain so." It is gatheri ed from what the Union has to say on the subject that if the people had voted their real sentiments instead of sticking to the party label, Wilson would have come pretty nearly to carrying the whole of New England. This notion is confirmed by the great | good humor and apparent satisfaction with which the New England press has received the reelection of the president. Instead of being ostracized, therefore, New Hampshire is; preening herself for that she is distinguished among her neighbors who dropped only a few feet within the lines of reaction while trying their best to join her in the Wilson procession.?Chattanooga Times. The Merchants* Predicament. Should a merchant sell his merchandise at market value, or should he sell it for a reasonable profit over and above what the goods cost him? That is a question that is troubling many of Bamberg's merchants. The merchants get new quotations every few days now, advising them of advances in cost of staple goods, and goods of every character. Most of them are worth anywhere from ten to 100 per cent, more than they were a few months ago. Some of the merchants are selling their goods according to what they paid for them. Others, who have nothing but new stock, have to charge much more for the same goods, and still others have j goods which they purchased somej time ago at old prices, but consider that they are doing nothing but right to charge what they are worth. There are arguments on both sides of the question. If the merchant should sell his goods out at old prices, he is confronted by the fact that he will have to pay double in many instances to restock the same goods. One mer-J chant remarked the other day that the best* way he knew to make money now would be to lock up and quit selling for a few months. The advances in price would be so great that the goods would probably be worth double, and this would be a good deal more than could be made by handing goods over the counter at ordinary profits. However, no merchant has any idea of doing this. If merchants could have had the foresight to buy their stocks last winter, they could unquestionably have made enormous profits in selling such goods at prevailing prices. A stationary salesman was in the Herald Book Store the other day, and casual-j ly inquired what we were selling a certain package of stationary for. When informed that the price was ten cents, we were informed that his house is now selling this identical package at 17 2-3 cents wholesale. The same is true of many lines handled by the ordinary merchant. As the merchants could not very well sell a portion of their stock at one price and a portion at another price, most of them consider that they can do nothing but charge the prevailing prices for all their merchandise. Hailstones are formed by the electricity of the thunder storms they accompany, according to a German scientist's theory. THE PRESIDENT AM) PEACE. J An Untimely Agitation Which Should Not He Encouraged. 1 Now that the added prestige of a reelection has come to President Wil- ^ son divers friends of peace are trying ( to force his hand?to get him to \ throw that prestige to the winds in a futile effort to bring the European ( war to an end at this time. ( tHa nrpsident. of course, will do 1 nothing of the kind. He knows that ! a premature effort to bring peace will ] only irritate the allies, who are im- < mutably resolved, for the present, on ] war. In their eyes it would put him ; in the position of using the power and < influence of a great neutral nation to < ] enable one of the belligerents to retain. its unjust spoils of war and to induce the other side to agree to concessions humiliating to national " pride. He also knows there are various kinds of friends of peace in this coun- * ? ( try. The propaganda is not dead among us. There are those who want ( him to try to bring peace because they i feel it will help the world and there ( are those who want him to do it be- 3 cause they feel it will chiefly help Germany and hurt Great Britain and the allies. Unfortunately it is still * necessary to demand the credentials ? ' - > - - * " A ? oi " irienus 01 peace. r ncuua wjl the Jeremiah O'Leary type will not let themselves be forgotten, no matter how anxious the country is to forget them. President Wilson and Secretary Lansing are closely in touch with the international situation. They are in a better position to understand the feelings of the belligerents than their would-be advisers. They are in the best of all positions to realize the fqlly.and futility of premature proposals. Such a proceeding would not only expose this country to a possible snub; it would also impair, if not wholly destroy, its usefulness as an intermediary later, when both sides will be in a less intransigent frame of mind. The country can rest assured that President Wilson is eager to see and seize the favorable opportunity for actually accomplishing results. He needs neither persuasion nor encouragement. But as the steward of the prestige and influence of this nation in international affairs, he will decline to dissipate them in wild goose undertakings. Rightly used, they may yet prove a blessing to the world.

Walterboro, Nov. 27.?The entire town was shocked this morning to learn of the tragic death of Joe j Glover, a young man of much [ promise, yesterday in a boat in the Ashepoo river, in the lower part of the county. Mr. Glover and a companion were on the river shooting, and it appears that Mr. Glover reachj ed for his gun, which was lying in | the bottom of the boat. The gun went off and the entire load took effect in the head of Mr. Glover, takI ing away a large part of his skull. He fell into the water forthwith. His companion, who was in the front part of the boat, hearing th^ gun fire, looked around and saw Mr. Glover ! as he was falling from the boat into the water. He then jumped into the water after Mr. Glover and by a superhuman effort was able to recover the body, and brought it here last night. It is thought that the gun fastened on some obstruction in the boat, causing it to fire. The news of the accident reached the young man's relatives while they were at church here and the shock completely prostrated them. COMPANIES LEAVE ANDERSON. Coast Artillery l nits iteturn to nvme Stations After Doing Guard Duty. Anderson, Nov. 27.?The last of the five companies of coast artillery which have been on guard at the Equinox mills for the past two weeks, returned home this afternoon. The Greenwood company left at 10 o'clock . this morning and the Jonesville company left at 5 o'clock. The orders for the Jonesville company to return this afternoon came from the governor's office this morning. Quiet prevails at both mills tonight. The number of operatives at work at j the Equinox mill has reached 325, ( while the number at work at the 1 Gluck is now 110. Four writs of * ejectment against two residents of * each mill village were issued today i and others will be issued tomorrow. i Before leaving the city Maj. Rob- ( ertson issued a public statement ] c thanking the people of the commu j nitv for the courtesies and kindnesses shown his nieii during their stay here. He also thanked the men of his command for splendid services rendered. The members of the five companies made many warm and fast friends in Anderson and they left a . splendid impression 011 all the people. * MASTER'S SALE. | By virtue of a decree of the Court d;' Common Pleas for Bamberg coun:y, S.
