Makes No Charges Against Opponent M ho Alight Ila\e No Opportunity to Reply. To the Democratic Voters of Horry County: On account of important official bus iness i was unable to be with you at the State Campaign meetings. It would have been a great pleasure for me to b.ave addressed you at that time but I felt that 1 eould not neglect the duties of my olliee even to go before you to give an account of my perform ance of those duties. I wish in this way to say that 1 appreciate very much the support you gave me two years ago, when I had the honor of being* elected Attorney General. 1 trust that my conduct of the duties of the office lias been such as to merit your continued support. 1 wish to call your attention to the fact that during* the nineteen months 1 have held the office of Attorney General and out of the appropriation for the years 1912 and 1914, 1 have onl> paid for the services of attorneys to help conduct the legal business of the State the sum of $125.90; $25.00 oi this amount was paid an attorney to take the place of one of the Solicitors of the State in representing* the State in a matter when that Solicitor was at that time seriously ill; the other amount, $100.00, was paid for the services to the Confederate Home in sonic litigation where there was a eon diet between that Home and another State Department and the Attorney General, of course, could not rep re THUS.

I point you to these ligures in order to show you that during the time 1 have had the honor to serve you as Attorney General my Assistant and 1 have performed the duties of the olliee in an economical ivn V Ctl vino' llwi ( I i .115 mi n a wirge sums of money. That the law* has been enforced as well under my administration, and 1 say with some modesty better than it has been enforced heretofore, I call your attention to the fact that the per centage of convictions secured in the Courts during my administration has been greater than at any time during the past ten years. I do not claim the credit for this work except in the supremo Court, the credit in the Circuit Courts is, of course, due to your Solicitors. The records will show that the office during my administration of its affairs has been prompt in the discharge of all of its duties, especially in giving attention to opinions requested by the County Officers of the State. In this article I shall say nothing against the gentleman who is opposing me. I do not think it proper for any candidate for office to attack in the public prints his opponent, when that opponent may not have the opportunity to reply. I am conducting my campaign just as I conducted it two years ago, in a fair, honest manner, without attempting to injure any one. If my services in the office of Attorney General are approved by you as I believe they will be, I shall ap preciatc your support for a second term.?adv. Respectfully, Thos. H. Pceples.

WHAT THEY FIGHT FOR Short Statement of What the Countries of Europe are After Austria is fighting' to put down agitation for Slavic union among her own subjects and to extend her influence in the Balkans. Servia is fighting for her national ( life against Austrian domination and to free 6.000,000* Sechs, ^Vom the sway of Austria. Russia must protect her Slav brothI ers in Servia and establish a command I ing sphere of influence in the Near , East. Germany, Austria's ally, is sworn to come to her aid when Austria is attacked. More than this, Germany . | must keep Russia from extending her i power. I France is an ally of Russia, and , hopes always for the recovery of Alsace-Lorraine from Germany. I Great Britian, to preserve the balance of power in Europe, must see to it that the sea-power of her allies, Russia and France, does not suffer at Germany's hands. Germany is also England's greatest naval rival. In the Nursery. ^ The temperature of tho nursery shoidd be about 05 degrees P. It is wise to have a thermometer In tho room. This precaution is well worth taking, for a not infrequent cause of dyspepsia In the very young is the overheating of the nursery. The night temperature should bo about 62 degrees P. As the child grows older ft is not necessary to keep the temperature of the room above 58 degrees P. The windows should always be well opened when the child is absent from the nursery and each evening before tho child is put to bed. This practise should be followed for a few minutes. To socure adequate ventilation, if there be an open fireplace, is not difficult, either by having the window opened very elightly at the top or by means of the door. It is an excellent idea where practicable to have an adjustable ventilator in the window itself. Currents of air are to be avoided.
