Phone 119 WEDNESDAY, SEPT. 4, 191S. i *' AFTER THE ELECTION. ,.3?? ' Now that the election of 1918 has practically passed, we should all forget our differences and "let the dead past bury its dead." Sometimes the best of personal friends differ in pol, itics, but they should not allow this difference to interfere with their personal friendship; for no matter who is elected this is still our home and we all expect to live here. Every man has a right to vote for his choice and no man should fall out ?with him for it, especially is this true in State and national politics. At times personalities are wrongfully injected into coun ty politics that cause enmity to exist between opponents, but it is wrong and should be avoided; for after all we are neighbors. And now let us say as our great leader, Woodrow Wil" son, a short while ago saidu "Politics is adjourned." ? ; > \ The one vital, oveshadowing: issue before the American people today is that of winning the war and winning it now. The consideration of all pro- i ? blems not directly .or inuireuu.v iclated to the one great, all-absorbing issue must and should be suspended for the time being. The heart and aoul of every loyal American is today Imbued with but a single, thought and purpose and that is the speedy and N ' conclusive triumph of democracy over autocracy, of republicanism over militarism, and every American worthy of the. name should adopt as his X ii- motto the motto of the immortal DeK ' ' % catur: "Our country. In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be in the right; but our country, light or wrong." 0 v WE ALL SHOULD VOTE. Every citizen of Lexington County should go to the polls next Tuesday ^ and cast his, ballot for the candidate of his choice. The election is not ^uite finished and there are still some offices to be filled, and next Tuesday will decide who they shall be. Since the first primary we have heard a number of men say they would not vote in the second primary. Those who follow such an idea will make a . . grave mistake. It is your privilege and youj- duty to vote, and every who has the welfare of his State and nation at heart should exercsev this privilege according to the dictates of his mind and conscience.

You know what calomel is. Calomel ig dangerous. It crashes into sour bile like dynamite, cramping and sickening you. Calomel attacks bones and should never be put into your system. When you feel bilious, sluggish, constipated and all knocked out and believe you need a dose of dangerous calomel just remember that your drug gist sells for a few cents a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable and pleasant to take and is a perfect substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed to start your liver without stirring you up inside, and can not salivate. Don't take calomel! It makes you sick the next day; it loses you a day's work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens you right up and you feel great. Give it to the children because it is perfectly harmless and doesn't gripe. Advt. ALLIED FOOD SHIPMENTS REACH LARGE TOTAL-, A general Idea of the quantity of food sent to European allies by the United States from July 1, 1914, to January 1, 1918, is given by figures just announced by the U. S. Food Administration. In that period the United States has furnished complete yearly rations for 57,100,933 people. In addition there was enough extra protein to supply this portion of the diet for 22,194,570 additional men. The total export of wheat and wheat flour to the three principal allies is equivalent to about 384.000,000 bushels. Pork exports for the 3% years amounted to almost 2.000.000.000 pounds. Exports of fresh beef totaled 443.484,400 pounds. The amount of food exported to Russia is negligible compared with that sent to the western allies. ONLY AMERICA CAN H^LP. "On your side are boundless supplies of men, food, and mate rial; on this side a boundless de i mand for their help. "Our men are war-weary and their nerves have been strained j by more than ,three years of * hard, relentless toil. * "Our position is critical, par ticularly until the next harvest, but the United States can save us. "You Americans have the men, the skill, and the material to it save the allied cause." * SIR JOSEPH MACLAY. it ; British Shipping Controller, it it * OVERSEAS. t - ~ Private L. B.
