Evidently it was the Russian's flying squadron that invaded Galicia. Roosevelt's speech at Trisco began with a capital "I" and ended with "me." "Your salary wanted." reads a bank ad. Sounds more like the grocer's voice. "Mistress of the seas" should be made to read "The bandit of the vasty deep." The old Kentucky home is not the only place where the sun shines bright. either. What Mexico needs is to be "benevo lently assimilated," with or without the water cure. By all means Secretary Daniels should have the man who invented cucumbers on his board. lsithotenoughforyou? -- York News. Yesdarnyou. - Spartanburg Journal. Wellwhatareyougoingtodoaboutit? The Colonel didn't say Hi Johnson would be the VERY best man for pres dent; but, as the State says. "the next best." These mother-in-law jokes make us tired. What in the world would we do for grandmas if there were no mothers in-law? That machine which has been invent ed to detect a man when he is lying is going to be a failure. Any woman can tell that. The other day we saw a list of those I who are not going to vote for prohibi tion next September. It was a mor- I tuary list. There are six candidates out for con- li gress in the Fourth district, and the n Spartanburg Journal says they are all it contident. It Col. Roosevelt says he will vote for 0 any decent Republican for president. h That is to say, if the candidate's initials o begin with T. R. As soon as we learn to read Russian wve are going to get The Sentinel on the exchange list with Russky Invalid, a Russiani newvspape.

It is prtosperity for the few, U wvhile the many are as had off as ever." It' President Wilson had not this sub- t1 mahrine business on hand with Germany t and the cotton embargo mess with John Hull, we shudder to think what would have happened to Mexico long before p nlow.0 As a wvatchful waiter Uncle Sam is anh adept. lie wvatched and waited forn Mexico until he got tired and quit. Heh is now on the same job with Germany; t and in a short time he will he doing thec stunt with John Bull. A man named Constant Agoney, who t siutters from chronic rheumatism, has been discovered by the paragrapher of the New York Mail, and he thinks that is positive proof that there is something mn a name after all. A clerk in the sub-treasury in New York was getting rich by substituting pennies for nickels for delivery to the local banks, but the government had to meddle In his lhttle game. Honesty is the best policy, of course, but he could have gotten richer quicker if he had substituted 2-bit pieces for5-dollar gold pieces.

By and by cotton would be a I rofitable crop, and there wotuld not be , o much belly-aching about the low ( rice of the staple for a while, at least. A magazine writer tells us how to ve to be a hundred. In the first place, ost of us don't want to live that long this vale, and besides, after one fol ws the advice laid down, what is left? othing in the world but an old man ie hundred years old, of no use to mself or anyone else. He is deprived4 all the pleasures of life, he is not lowed to est or drink what he likes, uist live out of doors winter and sum er, and a lot of other fool advice that > one follows or expects to follow. Miany of our state exchanges are dis issing the question of labor organiz ig itself into unions. Most of them gree that unions are all right "if they re conducted on the right lines," and ien go ahead and tell labor how to run 10 union. Some of these papers even >ecify the sort of men who should be t the head of these bodies. If the nions were run to suit most of those ho write about how they should be mnducted it would not be long before le unions would be defunct. "Stick your last,." The Pendleton Farmers' Society has resented The Sentinel with a history r that famous society from its found ig in 1815 up to the present, and we ighly appreciate it. The history is a eatly bound book of more than two undred pages and is chock full of in ~resting items connected with the so ety and old Pendleton district. The endleton Farmers' Society is one of me oldest societies of its kind in the outh. The editor and manager of The entinel were recently made honorary tembers of this society and we con ider it an honor to us. An 8$ Barrel < * WE DON'T SEL authorize YOU t< LUZIANNE CC .

Rural Carrier Examination The United States Civil Ser vice Comni ission has aninounc ed an examination for the coun tv of Pickens, S. C.. to be held at Greenville, August 28, 1915, to fill the position of rural car rer at Easley. and vacancies that may later occur on rural routes from other postoffices in the above mentioned county.

Nimmons News Notes This is the tirst time that the writer has had the pleasure of being "foreign correspondent" for The Pickens Sentinel. Hut if space permits and nothing prevents otherwise, you may from time to time hear from this quarter of the con tinent. though nothing ever happens of much note in this section. Still, we are Part of the Great Plan, and as such we like to he heard from occasionally. "Laying by" the crop seems to be the order of the day among all the farmers, and of course we are all farmers here with few exceptions. - School has been openI here for two weeks, with Miss ldna larle as teacher. There is only a small school at presetit. There is much hope for a prosperous summer's work.amo'ng the pu. pils under such an excellent teacher. The Antioch school opened July 19 with1ths Kendrick of .onesville in charge. They have a very nilce school and an able teacher for the summer season of eight weeks McKinney's Chapel school opened .luly le with Misa. Glazener in charge. All the iroutn. tain schools here seem to have been very for lunate In securing eflcent teachers. .lust a mintdte, folks: hlave you ever visited a mountain school? If not. do so whenever possible and see the conditions under which the mountain boys and girls secure their ediu cation: see how eager the bright-eyed boys and girls are to get on in their books; to learn some thing about this world beyond the mountains. It does onec good to- see so manty eagerly seeking after a better eduenation;: many of these bofs and girls have parents that c an neither readl or write: can't yotu see why tl.ey arc so eager for knowledge? Y'ou proba bly do not know it, but we have some of the lnest boys and girls up here that can be fotund in the county anywhere. The world has not yet conie in to mar the beau ty of nature. The religious element of the community Is very goodl, but by iio means what It should het We have preaching only once a month in the mountain clhuirches, and of course that is not as much as we need.. We have Sundaiy school at one chuiirch in. the morning antd at another every Sundlay in the evening. This is the great need~ of the people here and t he (one thing that can bring them closer together. The Sunday school is a great mecansof dranwing people closer to (o0l in the chuirchi. We neced more c-ooper ationii: wit hout It we (ainnot stand. There is today a grand work to be done ini gettig thle mountain people to entertain a broader vie,, or whet the religion of Christ .Iesus really stands for and for what puirpose uniity In the church is incanti. The writer greatly apprciites the fact that this summer there has beenm no visit from the officers in search of moonshiners. The motin. tahin leople probmably have found out that it dloesn't pay to furnish the town aind lower coultry folks with "mountami dew,"' for it doesn't. We see quite a few campers pass by these (days, out for a good time up here ini the garden spot of the Plinmin, anid also a few automobiles pass ging over to litrown's hotel in .locasaee valley. These people all enjoy the stay ini thme mnountahns at stuch a line place as lirown's; but much of the beauty of time scenery is mnarredl by the roughness of thie road. You lower country folks should demand a better access to the mouintalns. Get after thme proper ones tuntil we get a road fit for such a counity as this to talk of. The health record of this sectioti is excellent at present. We are all enjoying some real hot days andl some real ((o0l nighlis. With such glorious suii .light andi such beautiful moonlight all the world should rejoice andi be glad. IhUGS.
