Screens are the safset remedy against house-flys. - - o The end of the European war is fitill a long way off. Even the fool likes to be credited with having some sense. ^4.,|v>. 0-?? , '/ War always appears glorious before the bullets get to flying. o Some people are over-gifted with the ability to argue. The penitentiary does not contain all of the convicts in this world. Sunshine will kill germs of disease. 4) Fresh air is better than any mctli cal tonic. * '< fa*"*** o?- ? i Most people expect more than in the nature of thingss they can possibly get out of a propositi* n. Malice between two neighbors can make an acre of land bring four times its value any time. The draining away of stagnant water will mean the death of mosquitoes. If a man has nothing he is called an idler and a spend-thrift; if he gathers a, fortune together he is oi course a rogue. o??? The heavy rains and high floods ir the livers will greatly injure the po tntn cron in some sections of t.hi* county. Laugh and grow fat says the fad dist. But if we laughed all of th time other people would call us craz; and we would be before long. If people only found the plcasur anywhere that they thought the would find before they went! Bu do they ever? 0 If a young man goes too far in hi love making he is a sentimental fool ehould he take a milder course an neglect his sweetheart in favor o business, he is without a heart an tuaybe has a case of cold feet. 4 . % EVANS SAYS VOTERS - WANT EXPLANATION F m .

THE PEOPLE WANT RAGSDALE TO EXPLAIN SOME OF THE THINGS THAT HE HAS NOT YET MADE ANY" SATISFACTORY EXPLANATION OF. The people want to know. HOW RAGSDALE EXPLAINS the appointment of Whiting as his clerk, drawing from the Government $125 each month for two years as Whiting's salary, when Whiting never performed a day's service, but con tinued in Florence where he ran Ragsdale's law office as Ragsdale's partner at law. WHEN THE UNITED STATES STATUTES PROVIDE THAT: "All CLERKS to Members SHALL he placed on the roll ot" employees of the House. (Act of Auj;. 23, 1912, ch 350 Fed. Stat. Ann., Sup. 1914, p. 47.) "NO EMPLOYEE of Congress, either in the Senate or House, shall sublet to, or hire, another to do or perforin any part of the duties or work attached to the position to which he was appointed. (28 Stat. L. 771. 'It shall not he lawful to REQUIRE OR PERMIT any person in the employ of the House of Representatives TO SUBLET TO ANOTHER the discharge ANY portion of the duties of the position to w 1 Jch he is appointed. ' I lie violation of any of the foregoing provisions of law .shall, upon nsccrtaininnet thereof, be deemed to be cause for removal from oflice, (31 Stat. L. 9,682 Fed. Stat. Anno.?231.) How in view of these statutes does Kagsdale explain his appointment of Pettigrew to the same position, draw ing from the Government $125 per month as Pettigrew's salary for nearly two years, when Pettjgrew never left Florence but remained tlure as cashier of Kugsdale's bank. How does Ragsdale explain his conduct in procuring for Penny an appointment for 30 days to a Government job that paid $100 per month, then collecting in Penny's name the $100 for work which Penny never performed and applying the same in part to the payment of Penny's debt in his, Ragsdale's bank and i\\ part to the payment of a man in Washington who did the work?IN VIEW OF THE STATUTE QUOTED ABOVE.

Is Ragsdale above the law ? 3 - ^ ? <?1 Why does Ragsdale COMPLETE-1 | LY Hi NOR E THE LAW in these cases and seek to justify himself by deealring tnat OTHERS ARE DOING 1 H.E SAMK? Does he not know that every criminal might justify his law! 1 ss acts if such pleas were aceopt1 able ? i HOW HOES KAGSDALE EXPLAIN his claim that he got the re- ( liof for the flood sufferers when Congressman Whaley's statement and the Congressional Record absoI lufely disprove his claim? > HOW DOES RAGSDALE EX* i PLAIN his assertion that he gave Conway a 12 foot channel 80 feet wide, when the project for the im i provement of the Waccamaw River - on this basis was approved in 1884 3! and was nearly 80 per eent complete when Ragsdale went to Congress? Ragsdale got only $40,000 up to the - close of 1915 of the $285,000 which e has been appropriated for the work, y Even Ellerbe got $55,000 the last year he was in Congress. HOW DOES RAGSDALE EX. e PLAIN his appointments of Posty masters in Horry County, putting th* it postoflice in Conway way back on c back street and the miscarriage ol rural routes at Allsbrook and Loris' s AND HOW DOES HE EXPLAIN hh I; division of the patronage of Horry d though it were his personal property ?f into the hands of three men, one a d Conway, one at Alsbrook and one a Gallavants Ferry, (Adv. THE HORRY HERALD OOlfWAY, 8 0. r T? the voters I 9 ?f the?? S OTI Sixth Congressional District j* 1 Ml As many of you were unable to attend the Congressional ^ JM campaign meetings, I feel that it is not only my privilege, but a ^ duty which I owe to you as well as to myself, to put myself on ^ m record as to the issues involved in this campaign. ^ |^\| I feel that I have run a good race, that I have fought a ir ^^^x good fight, that I have kept the faith; for I have endeavored to ir ^X make this a campaign of measures, not of men, of issues in^x stead of personalities. I have done no mud-slinging, either in ^x public or private. I have heaped neither abuse nor ridicule ^x upon my opponents. I have offered myself as a candidate upon ^x my own merits, and not on the demerits of anyone else. I ^X believe that I am qualified to properly represent this District. ^x I feel that the time has come when our people want clean poli- Jy Ixxl tics, when they will demand, above all else, that a candidate for Jy in" ^x any office must be a man of high character. I believe that the ^x people of the District will utterly condemn the use of money in xx elections, and that they will think any man who tries to buy his jjr 1 ^x election, wants office for opportunities of personal gain instead ^X of public service. ^F I stand for Democratic principles; and am in thorough xX ^F accord with our National Administration upon all of its great X^ Jf policies. I believe that the prosperity and welfare of the naJF tion. and especially of the South, depend to a very large degree VX Jf upon the continuation in power of the Democratic party under the wise leader-ship of Woodrow Wilson. The things which have been accomplished in the last three years have done us Jr great good, but much more remains to be done. I I believe that the need for further preparedness of this 5 Nation against the possibility of war is a very real and serious one. I stand for a large army, thoroughly equipped, and a ^ navy second in size and power only to that of England. ^ I stand for the extension of activity by the Federal Government in farm demonstration work, the building of good roads, and reclaiming our swamp lands by a proper drainage j I stand for laws which will give justice to both labor and J capital, which will tend to prevent both strikes and lockouts. |jL> I want to express to my friends and supporters my ap I prociation of the good wprk they arc doing in my behalf, and to I ! I say to them that their efforts are being successful to a most 1 gratifying degree. My friends and I are jubilant over my prosvL poets. Letters bearing assurances of support are pouring in, yx bringing the glad tidings of success. My friends are finding xL my support stronger than they had even hoped it could be. ! The crown of victory seems to be within my grasp?I only want to urge my friends to keep up their efforts in my behalf until the primary. 1 Julius S. Mclnnes, | ' 2 Candidate fcr Congress, ? ; ?
