Those newspapers that roasted Mr. Bryan for resigning haven't. said a word about Mr. Garrison "'feather-legging." "Check Upon I yniching, " goes a head line in a Georgia newspaper. Don't do it-it might destroy the Cracker state's chief industry. Mr. Bryan's critics complain that the "Peerless One" is always out for the money. Just like the rest of mankind, including Willichearst. Gary Hiott admits that The Picken Sentinel is second-class mail matter. Gaffney Ledger. He further admiti that it is'first-class reading matter. It is reported on what is considerec good authority that the French regained seven inches of trenches the Germans .captured from them some time ago. Spartanburg Journal is running some news that happened in that town 15 and :22 years ago. But who around Pickens cares what happened in Spartanburg 153 amnd 22 years ago? Speaking of using automobiles for the rural routes, it may be very well for some sections of the country, but. there are sonme routes we know oft where it w~ould be better to use a billy-goat.

Would it not be well for us\ as citi zens and voters to calmly make up our minds . to do better this time?' Let us make up our minds to try as best we can to select the best men for the of fices, regardless qf what faction they may have belonged to in the past? We are tired of extreme men and extreme measures. Let us hunt for the conservative men and put them in the different offices. We do not intend to support a man for office when about the only qualification he has for the office is that he had always belonged to the same faction that we have beloned to or that we have generally voted with. Prejudice is blind, and if we allow ourselves to become prejudiced against men or measures we can't see any good in them. The nanagement of this paper does not intendito treat anybody unfair. Personally we have our own views about men and aboit certain measures, but we do not intend to try to force our views .on othbra in any way that will be offensive to those who do not believe as we do. We would be so glad to see the campaign without bitterness and strife, and if we can lend a helping hand in that direction we will only be too glad to do so. While of course we will support cer tain men for office, we do not intend to be unfair or unfriendly to the man or men whom we do not support. We have a right to our choice and we grant to others the same right that we claim for ourselves. Ex-Secretary of War Garrison says he would not'accept the governorship of New Jersey if certificatesof election were tendered him on a silver platter. It is well enough to decline thing after they have been offered to you-not be fore. The editor of Anderson Mail sl.ould read Frederick J. Haskin's articles on commission form of government for cities if he thinks they have proved failures' The right kind of men can be found to manage a city honestly just as easily as the right kind of a manager can be found for any other business. There are more successes than failures in the commission form of governing cities. Take Washington, D. C., foi an example: It is governed by com missioners.

Who will win-the people or the corporations? The answer depends op how many cor poration attorneys there are in the senate. Thomas A. Edison says the war in Europe will last two more years,and that the Allies will win. He .also says that the United States will not be in volved, and that the worst that will happen is possibly the breaking off of diplomatic relations with some of the nations. Which is about as good a guess as any. Henry Ford has a new scheme to help out his anti-preparedness ideas, and it sounds better than his peace party epi sode. He says he intends to launch a country-wide campaign of newspaper and magazine advertising against the program for huge naval and military expenditures now before congress. Mr. Ford says all of the people of the coun try will be reached by his plan. Henry will find that it costs, about as much money to run a one-page ad. in sofie newspapers and magazines as one of his machines brings him. However, the newspapers will welcome the auto king as an advertiser on a cash basis-he's had his share of free advertising. When we read the proceedings of the South Carolina legislature we cannot keep from thinking of a little incident which is said to have happened in North Carolina not so very, very long ago. A member of the South Carolina legislature and a North Caro linian were arguing about the greatness of their respective states, when the S. C. solon said: "Well, how is it that North Carolina has to maintain two asylums for its mentally unbalanced people, while South Carolina has only Ione asylum?" "Well, replied the Tar heel, "up here we send all our crazy I people to the asylum, while down in South Carolina what the asylum won't hold you send to the legislature."

It's not the mother wvho threatens to skin 'em alive that has the most obedi ent children, but the one who is sure to punish them for disobedience. And so with the law; it is not the severity of the law that commands obedience so much as the certainty of its enforce ment. First Spring Pome Newberry Observer. Our esteemed confrere, Gary Hiott, of The Pickens Sentinel, perpetrates the first spring pome of the season-and it it is not bad, either. As it is a short pome we make haste to give it to the Observer readers before he takes out copyright on it: "This pretty weather Seems like spring And makes the little Birdies sing." A Pitiful Sight' Tugaloo Tribune. A rather uncommon and pitiful sigh was seen on Southern train No.-12 on (lay last week.
