CabI to accomiipant~y mnanuiscript. (.ards of thanks trub I Ished for one-half cenit a word. Swat the chiggers. too! Everybody's doing it-swatting Col. Bryan. Aswe understand it, the German note is not germane. Seems as if cotton in New York can't get out of the 9-cent hole. In the death of Diaz Hluerta becomes the "fuss X"-president of Mexico. Many people are discussing the Ger man note, but more of them are cuss ing it. We can't see that the Germans took much when they captured that k.ench graveyard. "Crushing blows" continue to be de livered, yet the wars in Europe and Mexico still go on. Indications are that this fall we will have with us a "buy-two-bales-of-cot ton" movement instead of one. It will soon be Carranza's turn to "totter." His troops have been in the tapital about forty-eight hours. "What causes any more worry than cotton?" asks the Anderson Mail. Why, the low price of the staple, of course. "Cotey" says he is going to be a can didate for governor again next summer. Therefore, next summer will be a hot one. The very best Colonel Roosevelt can do these days is to get on the seventh page, next to pure reading matter. top of column. The Columbus (Ga.) Ledger says that "mob law belongs to the dark ages." Mt any rate, most of the victims are of a (lark hue. The attempt to suppress the locker clubs in Atlanta is making about as much headway as Charleston is in doing away with her blind tigerA. When sonme newsp~apers can't find fault with tile administration they take a fall out of Colonel Bryan, just as was their wont before he resigned. Sonme of the pictures printed recently of J. P'. Morgan look like most any b)ody, from Julius Caesar down the line to one of the cuts in Bo Evans' ad in the Anderson papers. Dr. John G. Clinkscales will not be a candlidate for governor next summer, he says. There will be a big crowd of them, so thle dlroppjing out of one candi (late will hardly be noticedl. .Prospective candidates for public of lice in tile state have got their eyes glued on all the lpicnic dates billed for this summar, so as to get in practice for the campaign next summer. According to press5 dispatches the .Austrian military authorities are seiz ing printing presses and type and con verting them into war munitions. We know where Austria can get enough printing otlice junk to last her till the war is over-if it lasts forever. Anderson Mail says G;ernmany wants the United States in the war. So does England andl the rest of the Allies, and are doing all in their power to push Uncle Sam into it. England wants someone else to do tier fighting while she does the bluffng. It was always Britain's way. If' wishes were horses, paragrap~hers andl other beggars might ride, as the Proverb 5o wisely says, but still we can't help wishing at this writing that there were a, three-foot icicle down our back..-Columbia State.

That's what the Yaqui Indians in Mexico will do for you if you happen to be dovdn that way. They ran short of other material with which to make bullets for their Mausers and melted up a lot of gold nuggetasthey had robbed a stage-coach of into bullets. About three thousand people saw thA second regiment of the state militia pass in review before Governor Man ning and his staff at Greenville Thurs day. The troops and the gevernor and his staff all made a splendid showing. Among the thirteen members of the governor's staff present were Colonels C. L. Cureton of Pickens and 0. R. Doyle of Calhoun, and they were about the finest pair of colonels in the squad. Mounted on fine animals and dressed in a colonel's full suit of blue with all that gold braid, etc., they looked splendid. Seeing Colonel Cureton pass, one little girl asked her mother if he was a Rus sian or a German. The governor is a fine rider and he and his staff made a fine appearance. V ~How's This?

COLUMN If I had the power to give this country the one thing that I think it most truly needs next to the religion of Jesus (hrbit, and which in ny judgment would be most conducive to the in dustrial education and moral upbuildingof the nation, I would unhesitatingly give it a strong national temperance law, and eonjel its en. forcement by the proper officers. I here assert that all the wrongs and inhtul ties of the tariff and all the robberies. oppres sion and greed of monopolies do not compare with the sorrow, the runl,the misery, the crime, the poverty, the madness. the vice, the degra dution, the death and dannation produced by strong drink. It destroys the home life: breaks the hearts of mothers and wives: takes the clothes oilT the backs of little chiildi ren and sub-. st'tutes rags: dlegradecs manhood: imakes lewd women out of virtuous maidens: stities amnbi lion, destroys hope, weakens the body, blights the mind and blackens th~e sou unitil It turn this earth, madle for man's hiippiniess and1( use, into a hell for his ruin and( mIsery. .in the Interest, therefore, of business: for the protection of helpless wonmen and children;: for the suppression of crime; the amnellora ion of want and poverty; the prevention of dilsease; the preservation of life: tihe salvation of hiuman souls, and for the sake of mo:e than eighty-six millionis of true, brave and noble A mlericani men. women andl chIldren, I would bestow this gift or national telaperante, thus destroyinig a fearful curse,and restoring man to the (;eod -like image in wvhich lie was created.

'The subscription lists of the corinty papers usu ally do mighty well to exceed two or three thousand. WVe do not, of course, know what the circulation of The Sentinel is, but it is not as much as it de serves." We have never met the editor of the Advocate and we appreciate the compliment he paid us all the more for that. We suppose the editor of the Ad vocate receives papers from nearly every county in the state, and we know he is in position to correctly judge a weekly newspaper, and we appreciate the compliment all the more for that. We are trying to publish a paper which will be of benefit to Pickens county and a paper of which the people of this county May feel proud and we want the co-operation of our family of subscribers in doing this. If each subscriber of The Sentinel in Pickens connty would speak a good word for us, or better still, get a new subscriber, we could further improve the paper. At the small cost of two cents a week every home in Pickens county should have thq county paper. Will you hell) us put The Sentinel in every home in the county! What a mess of speeches on what tc (to about this German business is being formulated in the heads of some of out astute congressmen! We hope it will he settled before they get a chance at it.
