South Carolina: Fair Wednesday and Thursday. OCR DAILY THOUGHT Loyalty. 1 think not of tomorrow, tts innis or its task, But st?ll, with childlike spirit, For present mercies ask, With each returning morning I cast old things away; Life's tourney lies before me; My prayer is for today. . It ls a dull day in which nobody de clares war. Men who lose election bets never get any sympathy. Some ot the candidates have started their run again, or yet, rather. Being given the freedom of the sea ought to perk King r ton some. -o Wonder how many woman suffrage leaders do-their own cooking. It mtgb'. be Interesting to know. It seems that some politicians Just can't be In the right side at the right time. It Nancy and Lillie are like ino.u girls, they have no objection to be ing taken. At any rate, lt will be a good held for relic hunters when the war is over. o It we could change the yellow dog crup into a hog crop, all would be well. There are lots of people who would like to take tho "e" from Dame in Dame. Fortune Just at present. Wilsonia-If you can't be thankful Kir what you've had, be for what you ex^vsct. Strictly speaking, dragging religion into politics violates the federal con stitution. Clever advertising-the offer ot the London News to insure subscribers against damage by Zeppelins. - Lota of Americans agree with the opinions Yilla and Carranza express of each other. iSfeaSxftv'.'*.?.?tv.?-- i ? . -o Another queer thing Is that each aide fixes the loss of the other in bat tles, but never ita. own. -o There's much printed about the big Increase on . cotton exporta, but noth ing of rr!"?* paid the growers for lt "ot Uiey say that it is a holy war., It seems that the Krappe ot Ger many have Intended making lt that from the first. -o Poor Col.

Suppose that during laHt night a wlM tiger should huvo come up out Of the Seneca river, and have attack ed and carried off a little boy living on thc outskirts u." Anderson. Tin; grief of the parents would be pitiful, and there would hardly he a man left in the city till this beast had been hunt ed down and killed. Suppose that in ?pite of their efforts, the same tiger should come buck tonight and terri bly maim one of the bright fair-haired little girls that had been playing with her companions on the lawn. Tomorow morning the cfrortH of the citizens of Anderson, und doubtless of the entire community, would all oe directed towards finding and kill ing ibis wild animal that hud brought sorrow and grief to two homes. The mental picture of the mangled corpse of the boy and girl would he enough to drive to desperation those who con templated lt. Men of And?rson: A much worse deadly enemy to the life and happi ness of your boy and girl hus been committing depredations in your city. The victims have been and are to be, not one or two boya and girls, but scores of us bright cud pretty little boys and girls as any today tripping lo school, or playing round the fire side. This is not a beast from the jun gle but one in human guise who lur es your boy to a dark room up-stalrs. perlufps, und there fills him with stuff that will not only kill aa surely as does the wild beast, but will destroy as well his immortal soul. The call goes out to come to his rescue, and Bave him from his awful fate. Are you men to heed not the call? Will you sit by and Bee the "hunt" go on and have no part in it? Do you fancy that your boy is .safe and that it is only a few who are going to be caught and lured to their ruin, and that somehow your son will escape? This matter of putting a stop to the sale of liquor illegally in thc city of Anderson ls no child's play, and it is a task in which every citizen who has the welfare of the city and ot his children at heart should engage. There should be no persecution of thosu en gaged in this Illegal traffic, but lt should be stopped by peaceful means if possible, but by the strong arm of the law if necessary. LA FOLLETTE'8 BREAK-DOWN The report from Wisconsin to the effect that Senator Robert M. LaFol lette has again broken down in health recalls the fact that a similar occur rence took place in Philadelphia a year or two ago. and the Philadelphia incident took place while Mr. La Fol lette was engaged in making a speech, as was again the case In Wisconsin a few days ago The Senator's excite ment Is said to have got the better of him. and he Jumped into the audience after he had been speaking about about eight minutes. His secretary took matters in hand and prevented tho speaker from attempting to go on, and his physician prescribed a period of rest from political activities. Mr. La Fol lett o'? physical health has never been good-at least not In re cent yesrs. He ls a vegetarian, but this ls probably not connected with his physical weakness. His powers of en durance are quite limited, notwith standing the fact that some of his speeches in the Senate have been such as to give the impression that he was usually well prepared to stand suca a strain. It is a great pity that the Wiscon sin statesman is so handicapped. His ls admittedly one ot the leading minds of the country. No doubt he was un wisely taxed himself, as many zealous reformers do. His views on certain subjects of political importance were a tone time regarded as widely radi cal, but tho gulf between the public sentiment of the nation and the radi cal views of Senator LaFollotte has steadily shrunk, not by any conces sions on the part of the Senator, but oy reason of the public's better un derstanding of the subjects. This bet ter understanding has resulted In a nearer approach of the common thought ot the country ?o the outposts held hy LaFollette for years. His in fluence has given Wisconsin a model government In the real sense of the word-lt ls taken asa model by other States, and to some extent by the fed eral government. It ta to ht* tinrwMl that a parti tri nf rest and recreation will fully restore Mr. LaFollette to health. He is one ot the few great men who are sincere friends to the whole people as against the -privlllged few. This ls a time that affords every body a splendid opportunity to find out jost bow independent they are from everybody else. Standard oil doesn't seem to be a blt more afraid or the government ot Great Britain than of that of the United States. / ? o ? ? There may be some men who are glad to set a chance to go to war, but there are precious few who get down on their knees after they are there to thank the great Allah for letting them come. A S ri. KM? 11? .HOVE. Tho ?lty officials of Anderson have launched a determined move against the blind tigers of that city. Detect ives were secured from Atlanta and a number of cases against alleged ti gers were made out. In some of thc cases convictions have been secur ed. Anderson is to be congratulated upon this move on the part of her city officials. While it may never be possible to wholly stamp out the illic it sale of whiskey, just as it is not possible to stamp out murder, it ls possible to reduce it to a minimum and that should be the ulm of the of ficials of every city. There Is no ex cuse for the open sale of whiskey by tigers In any city or community. We do not even except Charleston. If the proper effort was made the blind ti gers could be stamped out of Charles ton just as them have been stamped out of Greenville. It ls gratifying to note that the good people of Anderson are standing squarely behind the city officials in their effort to rid the city of the whiskey shops. This ought to en courage and help the officials. An derson people will find their city a much cleaner place In which to live with the tiger eliminated; they will find a great decrease in crime and a more wholesome atmosphere. In Gaffney, too, an effort is be ing made to stamp out the illicit sale of whiskey and we trust that it will meet with great success. The people of the Cherokee capital should uphold their officials. We commend Mayor Littlejohn and the chief of police of Gaffney for their efforts and assure them of the sympathy of the good people everywhere In their efforta for a clean city. The crusade against blind tigers should spread all ovei the State. The sale of whiskey should be stopped In South Carolina. Whiskey and hard times do not go together.-The Spar tanburg Journal. THE BELTON FAIR Theie are fairs and fairs. Some are held for the benefit of "horse races" some for the benefit of the fair asso ciation->some for the benefit of fake sf do-shows and gambling schemes where you toss rings or put your money on the "lucky turn of the wheel." and unco and a while you run across one where the social and edu cational features reign supreme! Wu have often asked: "Did you ever at tend the fair at Belton, S. C.? It ls great.'' So we determined to be on hand the 21st day of October. 1914. In the morning at 7 o'clock, all was quiet in the streets and square at Belton. By eight -o'clock somo few farmers were to be seen driving in with their buggies or wagons. Somo with a pig In a crate; others with chickens in a coop; many with some farm crop, as wheat, oats, corn, coton stalks, turn ips,, potatoes and so forth and so on. By nine things were lively-men, wo men and children poured in from ev ery direction. By ten o'clock Ave thou sand people were present 100 horses, mules and colts for the show ring, 50 head of Jersey cattle, 21 exhibits ot hogs, a house full of farm, products as fine as mother earth knows ho to growL poultry and pets of a*ll kinds and all good-an unoccupied house with four rooms filed with such needlework, flowers, cakes and canned goods as would be a cr it to any State fair. The Judges were busy try ing on the blue and red ribbons. The cheerful thousands surged from one place of exhibit to another. No fees for admission. The progressive people of Belton have made up a purse of over $800.00 with which to pay the premiums. Busy and happy was the day. By four o'clock some began to leave for their distant hornea By six o'clock everything was quiet and the great crowd and straw were gone. "Like the Arabs, they have quietly stolen away." My! But lt was Indeed, a County Fair, the ?rreateat WA hav* ever seen. We did not se? a single faker; not vvon one of the agricultur al paper junk dealers that you so commonly see plying their trade.

LABOR UNION CAUSEO CONSIDERABLE MIX-UP FIGHT AT ANDERSON MILL MONDAY NIGHT WOMEN WERE HURT Representative of American Fed eration of Labor Was trying to Organize Association Here. While a speaker was addressing a large crowd of mill workers at Ed mons store on F street in Anderson mill village Monday night, a fight took place between Henry Aiken and W. S. Edmonds, during the course of which Edmonds was cut across the arm and his wife and daughter also suffered painful injuries from knife wounds. It is said that the cutting was done by Henry Aiken, i It seems that the crowd nf mill people were rather noisy while the speech was being delivered by the la bor organizer and Edmonds came out ot his store and asked tbat they be quiet. Henry Aiken was in the crowd and before this time he had heard it said that Edmonds had referred to him as Judas. Aiken thouglit that this was a good time to resent this insult so he called out "Yes, and Ju das ls here tonight," This precipi tated a battle of words, followed by blows, and then the cutting ensued. Aiken came over to the city and sur rendered to the uwciais and gave bond while Officers Driskell and Whitten went over to the mill vil lage and arrested Edmons. The case was tried yesterday afternoon at 5 o'clock in police court and both par ticipants in the conflict were con victed. Aiken was fined $5.00 but sentes -? was suspended and Edmonds was fin :d $5.00. It is understood that the effort to organize a branch of tho American Federation of Labor here will likely prove successful. It is undesetood that the organizer left the city jy er day but will return in a few days and that ibo association will be formally perfected, officers selecf?d, etc. It was learned yestc.day that Ed monds was not injured to any ex tent in the fight and the cuta sus tained by hiB wife and daughter were scarcely more than scratches.
