And it is hard to understand just how the war could do it. ? ? Plenty of men can be found who have never actually rendered a single day of hard labor and yet will complain that they have already ruined their health by hard work. ? ? The Marion Star's remedy for the low price of cotton is to change the fashions so that the women will have to wear more of it. The Star would claim that the gowns are too thin. * * Penitentiary stripes would be too good for the man who can find nothing bettor to do each day than to stand on the street corners and knock his town and the men in it all the day long. * * ? + When you once take a position it does not pay to withdraw from it, especially if you arc a candidate for office.

This being so it is a great pity that there are so many in this State who cannot read, and so many others, who from prejudice or spite refuse to take a newspaper, let alone read it. * When seeking honesty and truth go elsewhere than in politics. It is advised that no gentleman, let alone a lady, should attend the meetings such as took place in the campaign for United States senate, by reason of the shocking language used by the candidates running for that office. To describe what the language was, would mean for us to print a row of dashes as long as from here to Columbia and back. ? + * At the campaign meeting in the Senatorial race, at Kingstree the oth er day. Governor Blease ridiculed reports contained in the three leading daily papers of the State to the effect that the Conway meeting on the day before had been against the governor. Then he proceeded in his speech to make the boast that he would carry the county just as he carried it before Those who attended the Conway meet ing know that the governor failed to awaken the enthusiasm that he brought forth here on the two occasion when he ran for office before. The hand writing on the wall was plain enough so far as the Horry campaign meeting was concerned, and he knew it well enough himself. CARD OF THANKS Editor Horry Herald, Conway, S. C., Dear Sir:?
