Very appropriate, Indeet Paris and Berlin are fussing abol that Champagne district. There h: been a lot of trouble hatched out of th beverage ever since the French begi making it. Mr. Lansing says that in time of wva neutrals have rights the same as belij erents. Maybe so; but why (do the bh ligerents get their r'ights and the net trals do not? Everything runs to neutrality thes days. Now here comes Doc Evans c the Columbia State's health diepartmner saying as hnw we must ha neutrali taking our baths! Isn't it about time for some writer I say: "Sit steady in the boat" aner this latest Mexican outrage? .It woul sound better if it would read.: "Shot true, and all together."

Pickens county has the' reputation of being the most -iia-abiding county in the state and its ,fyrors and officers enforce the law when - it is violated, but since it is getting 'to where a man can't go out of his house without violating some of the so-called laws we suspect Pickens will be forced to take its place along with other law breaking counties, b ecause juries of good and sensible men will not convict a man for violating some of these petty laws. Mark the prediction: this multi tude of petty laws which the legislature annually passes is going to make it so that it will be a hard matter to convict a white man of any crime whatsoever. You don't have to "smak6 this a good state. ' It is a good state already. If South Carolina had not been a mighty good state the legislatnre would have ruined it before this. Miss Cecilia Milow, desetibed as a Swedish educator and writer, says she "believes in women as wives and moth ers. To be a faithful wife and a good mother is a far greater vocation than to be a lawyer, a professor or a popu lar club woman." Many of us believe that, too; but what does Miss Cecilia know about being a wife and mother, being as how she is an old maid? The late Thomas B. Reed, one-time speaker of the national house of repre sentatives, called by the opposition "Czar Reed," had Colonel Roosevelt sized up about right. Just before his last illness he was the centre of a group of politicians and they were discussing politics and men. Finally, when they got around to Roosevelt, Reed drawled: "Y-a-s, I admire Roosevelt very much, indeed; what I admire most about him is his enthusiasm over his discovery of the Ten Commandments." The entire brotherhood of Twelve Mile Riv'r, Pickens and Piedmont asso ciations join the friends thruout the state in sympathy for the bereaved family of our dear Brother Walter E. Wilkins. Sadly do we feel when we think of him and know that no more will we see his face beaming with smiles nor hear his voice pleading with the brethren for a greater missionary spirit and praying to the God of missions for istrength to do His work. May God's e blessings rest upon the loved ones so e sorely bereaved. *. Class Legislation!

I How a Georgian ,Lost 500 Dollars A well-known business man of Toccoa wvho, strange to say,was not a subscriber to the Record, paid this office a vist one day last week and ordered the paper sent to him regularly. Not being a regular readei- of the Record, this entleran had failed to learn that a certain tract of land was to be sold on the 4th instant, and it was a piece of property that he very much desired to purchase. "If 1 had been a subscriber to the Record I would have known about it and would have gone to the sale," he said. "The prop erty was worth $1,000, and as It only brought five hundred, I figure that I lost five hundred dollars by not keeping myself in formed as to what is going on. I am going to be a subscriber to my county paper regularly here after." As ho handed over a dollar he said he was not going to let any more good things like that slip by for the sake of saving the Trice of a year's subscription to his home paper, which he ought to patronize anyhow. -Toccoa (Ga.)
