Will V*eep the Poe Dee country anyway/ THE LAST DAY This is the last day for candi dates to tile their pledges. We do iud know the exact hour, hut this is thc* last day. The pledges must be tiled with Leon L Rice, secretary of the county executive committee, and with Jas. M. Pear man, clerk cf court. Candidates are advised lo he particular about filing these pledges and they might inquire ot Secretary Rice if there are any other formalities. Also if any candidates have not put their cards i:i The Intelligencer we pleasantly suggest that it is not too late to let the people know that they are in the race. LEGISLATION SK KUKU The campaign for county oiliccs will Lo opened fil?ela Hy ut (tonca Path Salurdduy. There have been some preliminary meetings und thu candi dates aro working hard. So far as wo have hoard there is the host of fool ing among tho candidatos, and tho is sues in tho campaign will he dis cussed from the stump in a calm and dignified munncr. There ls one proposition that we have long favored, and that is the Tor rens system of registering land. It appears so simple to us that we can but wonder that any man should op pose it. ThlB system means merely that when a land owner wishou to register his land, to secure tho titles, the state will examine the title and give a certificate as to their correct ness. Thereafter, whenever the land ls sold, the guaranteed title will stand for Itself and it will not be necessary to have a lot of lawyer's fees every time the land ls sold. This ls about all lhere ?B In the bill. Another bill is the medical inspec tion of children in schools. We have always favored this bill. It means nothing to the man of means who has his family physician anyway, but it might be a godsend to the children of a poor man. The medlcul Inspection consists chiefly in examining the eyes, nose, throat and ears, to see if there is any trouble that could be cured easily before it got too deep a hold upon the little ones. Just think how many liveB have been Ailed with Buf fering because a chlldte eyes or throat was not given medical atten tion In time! As we said before, thia bill is calculated to help the poor, although all may receive benefits. Every body knows about the mer its or demerits of compulsory attend ance upon schools. We believe in lt, but for some years we have advoca ted a local option form of applying it. The negro should not enter into a consideration of thiB matter, for we believe that school trustees can handle such matters locally, as they are doing now. We are opposed to white people teaching in negro public schools, but we see no need of any discussion in thiB county where all feel the same way about it. This is a companion bill to the Income tax law, and is dem ocratic in principle. . It came near passing in the house of representa tives, and an able speech in its be half wasjmade by Representative Os car Gray of tulB rounty. k} will work a hardship upon no one, will bring much revenue to the state will put taxes on bonds that are dodging taxes, and will be a revenue produc er. The Inheritance tax bill should have become a law. There waa noth ing Injurious in it. It is on the same principio as the corporation license tax. It ls a principle recognized and established by law In other states. TARVIA 18 GOOD We take pleasure in commending in general tho Tarvla proposition sub mitted to city council through Mayor elect Godfrey. We do not believe the preparation ls suitable for 'URO ion the main travelled business thorough? fares, but on the residence streets, lt ls a good, cheap substitute for bltu lithlc. There ls a lot ot it In uso thia side of Wilmington, N. O. In Charlotte, N. C., and In Columbia, experiments have been made willi every known kind of pavement and tho experts have watched the results closely. In Columbia there* is a three mlle stretch of public roads from the city limits through the Hyatt Park sec tion toward Ridgewood that ls an old macadam road covered with, Tarvla. ?The macadam wore into ruts and the i condition of the road was a great problem to I tho people' who - traveled lt. .. The tires. ot the automobiles had sucked up small rocks out of the ma cadam and caused th? water to stand In small puddles and thia .caused ruts. All the other roads in Richland aro clay sand and the people Ot that section were puzzled to.know what to do. They preferred a clay sand road, but this macadam pike had already cost about two or three thousand dol lars a nrlte, and there was a\ splendid foundation there for a high grade road. The Tarvla proposition was firmly accepted and has proved the savin? ul that mad. Wini its macadam foun dation and Tax via surface, this i? one ol thu best roads in tho state practically free from dust and im pervious io rain. It lias been in thu condition for ubottt three years am we have never heard any complain about it. In Greenville, the splendid road tf Sans Souci is laid with a Tarvlu sur face ?ind we have been informed thin tliis is one of the best roads in Green ville county and il stunds up mulei the automobile trnllic. We thin! that euch a paving would bc excellent for some of our residence streets, and if we cannot immediately start upon paving our business streets, in a per manent manner, we would like to set experiments made with Tarvia, ot nome such preparation, on residence streets. There is only one question Which suggests itself und that is cac Tarvia be laid successfully upon thc naked earth, or does it require a ma cadam luise? If it requires macadam it might be helter to use hit ul it hie ant! have done with lt. THIRTEEN A gentleman who was approached to run for the legislature said yester day that he was Informed that then were alreudy 12 in the race and lu didn't care to make the thirteenth. I Ult it hus long been proven that K is really u lucky number, and it in ti fnct not generally known that 13 hus Just about as much endorsement ii: the bible as hus the mystic seven. This ii umber 1.1 is regarded by man; us very unlucky. Some people wil: not eat ut a table where there an '13 persons. Some hotels will not have a No. 13 room and some said thal Woodrow Wilson could not be nomi nated or elected as he had 13 letton in his name. But 13 has been his tal isman. Thirteen is an honored number a; a few instances clearly prove. 1. Egypt Masonry, over four thous and years ago, taught that the glor ious resurrection body had 13 mem bers. 2. The word of God, three thous and years ago, taught that Israel was composed of 13 tribes, Judah Issachar and Zebulon on the east ol the camp; Ephraim Manasseh and Benjamin on the west Reuben Simeon and Gad on the south; Dan, Asher and Nepthali on the north, while Levi wan in the middle part. 3. Less than two thousand yean ago on the day of Pentecost there were twelve Apostles and to these Paul was added, making the apostolic band to be 13. 4. Thirteen ia stamped on our na tion. It was formed of 13 sovereign states and its motto, "E plurl.i.u, un um." has thirteen letters. One has said "The emblems of the'republic ore Liberty and an Eagle. The crown ol Liberty has 13 stars, the eagle holds a thunderbolt In one of. its talons j and this has 13 darts. In the other IE an olive branch and this has 13 leaves. Thirteen is again represented on the shield and there are 13 feathers on each of the eagle's wings." Why boycott thirteen? Alexander sighed because there were no more worlds to conquer. He never met Teddy und der KaiBer. ? The last time Italy signed a peace pact, it was at Ouchy, and thought^ ot war now give her a pain in the middle of the night. We will give a prize to the candi date who proves that he gets more votes out of his fellow candidates than any other candidate will get. Thanks cf this office to J. S. Fowlei and O. M.

This is the second war credit passed by the house, ?5,25,000,000 having been voted two days ago. Premier Asquith told the house that the white paper issued by tho gov ernment showed bow strenuouB and unremitting had been the efforts of Sir Edward Grey, the British foreign sec retary, to secure. honorable peace for Europe. After reading Sir Edward GoBchen's dispatch saying 'that Germany had "made a strong bid for British neu trality." the premier ' remarked that Germany's suggestion amounted to "the infamous proposal that we should give her a free hand to annex the whole of the extra European posses sions of France." . - No Other Coarse. He continued: "If Great Britain had accepted what reply could she have made to the Belgian's appeal? She could only haye replied that we had bartered away' to ' the ' power threaten!^ her oar obligations to keep our plighted word. What woula have been Great Britain's position If she bad assented to this. Infamous proposal and what was she to get in return?
