FLECTION 1100 DI, Kl About the only nev. feature In thc governor's speech IUHI night, we are Informed, was the allegation UK to money being used In thu primary. While lt muy I??' all right for it can didato to K'vi" warning of thc use of tnoiioy. yet we fear that if tin- govern' or hau bren informed, seriously, of any money being spent in Anderson, lu- us governor, not as candidate, made a mistake not to keep quiet and let it he Bpeut, then have Ids diligent otllcera muke un arrest and then make an exanii?le of eleetlon booti 1er?. Provided, of course, that the informa tion he received was correct and there ls a lune possibility Ui.it the governor PUB received the wrong "tip" on this. If any money has been used-or will he used, or any money hau been strut lu here for unlawful purposes, let the governor have the violators of the law punished. PRICES FOR FOO? One question of vila! interest to thc United States iti connection with the Europcun war ls the disconcerting In crease In the price of food commodi ticB. Is it justified on Borne articles? la it outrageously unjustitled on oth ers, and what can our state and fed eral authorities do about it? Presi dent Wilson has asked the attorney general and the department of com- , merce to investigate with a vlow- to prosecutions. j The public ls Justified in its indig nant suspicions that the increase in prices of curtain foodstuffs produced exclusively in thiB country and for which we do not have to depend on Europe, could not be sustained with out some sort of an agreement among producers nnd dealers. Is there any excuse for a raise of more than 100-por cent on flour with in a few days? Minnesota reports the greatest wheat crop in 20 years. Other states rejoice in most bountiful harvests. Exportation of flour and other foodstuffs hus practically ceas ed, t'un H ed goods and general gro ceries are subjected to the same pro cess. It bas been suggested that remedy in case proof of conspiracy 1B secured, ID afforded by tho common law and that New York authorities are pro ceding ou this- theory. President Wilson intimates that If the federal statutes are Inadequate new legisla tion may be asked. It seems pretty clear that unscrupulous persons are taking advantage of the war to Im pose upon tho consumer. The difficul ty will be to prove conspiracy or to dx tho blame. A POOR JOKE Germans May Keach Ostend Too Soon London. Aug. 22.-A newspaper correspondent who arrived here to night from Ostend said lt seemed like an ill-timed joke to be told at the Belgian watering place yesterday tho Gormans would bo there in an hour or two and that all English must leave. Childron were still playing In the sand and there were many bathers on the ? beach. ! "We boarded tho Bteamcr. Rapids," thia correspondent concluded. "A proa jpefous looking Englishman Bat noxt to me. He said, '?he British consul leon than two hours ago, sent me a message in which he Bald in tho King's name I teli you to leave here by afternoon, they are coming.' Representatives of the British con sulate rushed around Ostend summon ing the British to leave. Many of the refugees had no baggage and some wero without money. "Out by the lightship we paased a small steamer flying the Belgian flag. We drew alongside and our skipper megaphoned a warning that the Ger man? might noon be tn Ostend. j . REVERSAL OF. FORM Of the 26 barons who signed the Magna Charter says an English Jour nal, three wrote their names and 23 made their mark. This ls all changed now. Each baron can write, but on ly a few succeed in making their mark. Tho thing that this state needs most ut all la to have some candidates In dicted for libel and given public jobs -on chalngangs. Let every preacher In thia city pray for peace in Europe-and keep oe praying for peace. Who would have thought that there was r-om in - Belgium for so much fighting. This would be a psychological mo ment to forget to feed sonja ot the militant snffa who? ere on a hunger strike. - European censors are generoua about one thing-the losses- of. the ?nemy. BBj^BBB^HH^BiiW?BB?8B^M?fiBfl Vii Uli HA Hit Kl. OANt.EHOlH Tim republican papers arc charging that of thc "river? and harbors bill," $1.000.000 IH "pork." The total ex penditure planned in thc hill is $63, 000,000. Thc government faces a dell city of $100,000,000 on account of thc war cutting down the customs revenue. rheruforc it seems that President Wilson has another problem on his hands-how to Iel congress make au appropriation adequate for the abso lute necessities of our government, and yet not impose upon the people any unjust burden of "pork barrel" or unnecessary appropriations made to bolster the fortunes of congress men who have close contests. Helter let the party be "tho goat" ! of circumstances than to have the country suffer. THE PSYCHOLOGY OF WO ll H Y While we cannot subscribe unre servedly to the faith cure propaganda, | yet there is something, indeed quite a lot, in the psychology of worry. An animal never worries when lt becomes ill, and nature's healing processes ure not hindered by any fretting. That is the penalty or being able to reason-ol perhaps not to reason. If we have one chill, we begin to look forward to another one and to dread the approaching hour. The animal, when Ul, goes into the sunshine, quits eating and recovers-unless mortally stricken. And the proper mental at titude tendu to restore health in an imals so does the wrong attitude cause recovery In humans to be retarded. Tho physician who comes Into tho sick room with a smile, who has aelf confidence, poi-c, geniality, has almost as much to do wtih the patient's condi tion as the medicine that is given. Reason, imagination and will power are applied to by his presence. The right mental attitude is necessary to the proper assimilation of medicine. Suggestion ts potent. Contentment is u large percentage of health. INTERESTING WAR FIGURES If you have bec: studying a map of Europe since the war began wc arc sure that you have been surprised to Bee how little you know, of the coun tries involved. Some of them are much larger than you had any idea they were, others are smaller than you expected to find them, and their nearness to one another may also have caused surprise. Here arc some interesting facts about the various nations that are at war. Austria-Hungary has 261,036 square miles with a population of 49, 418.696. Belgium has 11,373 squat e miles, and a population of 7.0M.910. France has 207,064 square miles and a population of 38,961,496. The G?rman Empire has 208,830 square miles and 64,903,423 people. Italy has 110,646 square miles and a population of 32,476,263. Russia has the enormous area of 8, 647,667 square miles aud a population of 160,095.200. The United Kingdom, not including Us colonies, has an area of 121,391 square miles and a population of I 45,216,065. DENTISTS AND CIVILIZATION Nothing has had a greater influence on civilization in the last half century than the practice of dentistry. There are some now living who recall when all of the "tooth doctoring" was done by the village blacksmith. But detts try has become a science and an hon ored profession. Dentists are doing more for Chris tianity than almost any other class of professional men outside of the pul pit. Bad teeth and the bad condition of the teeth cause many of the disor ders of the body, distempers of tho mind and disease of the soul. The psychology of dyspepsia is one of the things which teach us the related ac tivities of the stomach and the soul. %Sn? Incisors and mole rs and bicus pids have their place In psychology, If the government of the ?tote would do the wise thing, lt would pass a law requiring parents to soe that chil dren keep their teeth clean and that all public . st tools compel the .examina tion ot children's teeth and the correc tions af evils found. How many mis eries of the body and tortures of the soul, present and In the future, would be overcome by a little precaution. And with strongeer. better teeth, we would have a stronger, Baner, better cltiscnehlp. A SURE ENOUGH SABBATH In Melbourne no Sunday papers are permitted, no hotels are allowed to open their bars from midnight on Sat urday ur.til Monday morning and any one driving past a place ot worship at a faster-pace than a walk while ser ?vice ls in progress is liable to be ar rested. oooooooooooo o Ol b RICHARD WILSON o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o o Editor The Intelligencer: l'lease ul low ino space in your puper tu apeak or a very pleasant day ?pent lu tue country on thursday, August '?t?.

Mr. Richard Wilson was a, brave and faithful Confederate veteran, and came home after the surrender with ! nothing left but brain and muscle, and a willingness to work. Forty-five years ago he left the Craytonvlllej auction with his little family, and' moved into the Piedmont hills. ., .. ,.,,,! He soon acquired a lille farm,'and I with a stout heart and u good wife, I started out to achieve success By thrift, industry, economy and " good Judgment he has suceeded, and at the age of 79 tum accumulated enough of this world's goods to support him In his declining years, besides' the help hu has gt . en bis children.

In conclusion, let me soy, that the day Was a happy and pleasant one, and everybody returned to their homes closer bound together by the HOB c* love and friendship. IJ F. SMITH. Anderson, S. C., Aug. 22. EUROPE'S WAR AND AMERICA'S! MUSIC. Opportunities Coming For American | Artista and Tulklng Machine .... Companies. It's an ill wind that blows no good Just what effect the European war will have on musical matters in this country it is impossible to ' foretell with any degree of confidence at pres ent. But it certainly does look as though it might open up the way for local talent to cure a large share of the rewards In glory and in material returns that have for ao long fallen to the lot of European artists of rank. Many of the prominent foreign art ists have been drafted for war service in thoir respective countries and not only the great soloists, but the rank and file of many of the .orchestral or. ganlzatlons n this country will bo,un able to resume their, accustomed' du- ) ties here this winter. > . Naturally, thc demand for music Is j not going to be lessened any, so. the supply will have to be adjusted ac-1 cordingly. .; Our own artists willi undoubtedly reap a juster recognition than.: has ever fallen thor way before. And those amoi.g the listeners who still hanker after .the great ones of Europe iwtll have to content themselves with what the talking machines can offer them At that, however, they will not bo denied .the work of many really fa. mous artists. Neither will their ears be deprived of much In the way of really good music, for.the modern re pertoire of recorded music interpreted,' larly complete both as regards .per data of birth was not the same, and At least one artist who will not ba twith us hi person this coming season is Ys aye, the great Belgian.

In the Mississippi, primarlo?, held on Tuesday, all the' congressmen of that state who hud opposition were I renominated. In the Georgia primary yesterday Senator Hoke Smith was renominated, by a large majpoity. and Congressman Adamson and the other leaders in the | house fr?m Georgia'who had oppo-. sition w*ere renominated. The people of Mississippi and the! people of Georgia have ?bown good judgment* They have voted to sustain Presi dent WllBon and WB . administration in the perplexing problems that now j 1 faco thc country-the greatest prob- ( lema, perhaps, that the world bas ever known. .'? All Europe ls In a war. Every coun try on thc continent is In arms, ex cept two or three of the minor pow ers, and they may be drawn into lt. It. is a world war. President Wilson and Secretary I Bryan are trying to keep thc United I States from becoming involved. Thc I I task that is before them is a great Lone; none of us know now just howl hard it may be. . And President Wilson is entitled to the support of all the people of the. country He is entitled to the support, of congress; particularly is he enti tled to the support of the members of congress who are members of hlB own party. ' He should have In congress men whom he knows, men who know him. and who may be relied noon to hold up his hands in what he is trying to do. If the people send io congress men who will oppose Mm and nag him on who are antagonizing r.n him on every occasion, it will make hts bur den much harder. It will be discour aging and disheartening to him. As it stands today, the president ' knows the members of congress, and they know him. They have been work I lng together. Mombors of mneress have differed with the president on some things, but lt has been an hon est diff?rent*?. I'e ha? the'r fullest re spect, and he has the fullest confi dence In hit? partv associates. Thev, may be relied on to work together in 1 the future, as they have In the past, and .lust, at this time, of all times, the president and the country should be ?pared the danger and the annoyance of having new men, and particularly men antagonistic to the president, in the congress, where they may harass the president personally and block the policies of the administration lu mat ters that may affect not only the wel fare of the country but of -.ho whole w orld. I ' President Wilson has given the country some noble message" during, the past few week3. He has begged the people to keep their heads, and to co-operate with him in trying to keep our country from becoming involved in the awful war that now rages In Europe. | We can do this in no better dr Burer way than by sending to congress men who will work with h'm and ad vise with,him in the right spirit, men upon wH?m he can reply. If we have such men! in congress,' and wo have, it would be moBt unfortunate to make a change just at this time. To Bend new men to Washington now, no mat ter how able and well qualified they might be.' would be a mistake . Ad miting that tho new men would be *ust as able and just as willing.as the old ones, they would necessarily have to get acquainted with the president and congress, and th" ways of doing things, and "thc president should sure t> t-e Baved frcm the b-ivdcr of that 1 arri of tlitnr new. There will ba time .enough for that later on, If the people want to try R. but that time ls not now. This is not written with a view ot hurting the ambition of any worthy man who wants to io to congress, but we do think the thought herein con. veyed is one that ought to .be given very serious consideration by tho peo ple. .ooooooooooooooooooo o (THE FOB SNAKE BITE o o o ooooooooooooooooooo '% A curious method of curing snoko "bites is In vogue In India. Two victims bitten by the deadly cobra were seated on the grand and 't?tere held, while from a height ot six teen feet gallons and ga?lona of hot wnter .were poured on their heads. .Presently the victims took a new lease on life, and are now well. '' The explanation to this "cure" probably ls that the snake, aa often happens, bites its vic tin vi, but In jected no poison into them. Thus the men were merely terrified .abd 'con tinued to be frightened until the pain caused by the douche of bot water gave them something else to think about PRIZES WERE AWARDED For the Best Track Gardens and Flower Gardens at WRUamstoiB.
