IF some good friend should present us with some roasting ears we would ac knowledge the corn. Now, how would you like to have your mint julep with "long sweetening" in the place of sugar? Tlnis only place we ever saw more chestnuts than on Clingham's Peak was in Hearst's Sunday American. WHEN we go to war we are going to wear some of those garters which guar antee "no metal can touch you." Tft truthful advertising club ought to get after those fellows who are ad vertising "delicious cod liver oil." WE really hate to do it, but we are torcibly reminded this afternoon that the melon colic days are with us once again. WiHAT this country needs in this finan cial stringency of the government is more patriots an(i fewer pork-barrel congressmen. SUGAR at ten cents a pound and still going up will compel some of us to fall back on the old reliable "long sweeten ing" for our coffee. TEXAS Democracy having .gotten rid of one "Cyclone" 'Davis, Kentucky Republicans should show their appreci ation by firing Caleb Powers. IT appears to us that Uncle Sam should use women mail clerks on the trains which do not stop at all stations, because they are good male grabbers. RAz BAtLOW went to Easley for the first time last week. Raz says the mort he sees of the world the more convinced he is that Pickens is the best place there is. WE overheard two Sp artanbu rg and Easley men discussing this cotuntry's need the other day, and they agreed that what this country needls is Cyclone Davis for president.

RATIONS in the British army must be tough. A story comes from London that many recruits have been sent home to get a set of false so as to be able to masticate the English brand of soldier feed. FLETCHER H ENSTEP opines that while it may be true that near relatives are sometimes distant, it is equally true that distant relatives are sometimes near. Last week one of Fletcher's d. r's. got close enough to touch him-for 4$5. Fletcher is pretty close himself. PERSONS who are addicted to use of drugs are suffering from a disease. Legislation to lessen the evil is a good deal like the passage of laws against smallpox or typhoid. Cases of this kind should be handled by the medical pro fession, and the law should help them -epre the victim instead of putting ob stacles In the way, as is done by much recent legislation. Trhese are the views -of Dr. Ernest S. Bishop of New York, professor of medicine In the Polyclinic Medical School, expressed in en article ehtitled "The Narcotic Addict, the Physician and the Law." This a com - ion sense view of an importont question. * The same applIes to habitual drunken. ness,-whleh beyond all doubt is a disease, aid Instead of punishing those unfortu hates the law should help them. Ouh WEEKLY RIDDlLE.-Why is a her ?athe fence like a penny? H~ ead on one side and tail on the other. <DIG down for that dollar To help Democracy win; o be a tightwad now Will be a terrible sin, Some of Congressman Aiken's closest frienmd, who are following the congres sional- chndidates around- the districty are circulating the report that the sec dnd race for congress in this district , will be between Aiken and Dominick, thus trying to help along the Dominick boom. It is apparent that Mr. Aiken and his political advisers would like for him and Mr. Dominick to make the sec ond race, because they feel sure that I Mr. Aiken could win over Mr. Domi nick. They remernber that when these two gentlemen ran a second race t two years ago Mr. Aiken had no trouble in winning in a fair and square election and they are pretty sure they can re peat this year if given the same oppon ent in the second race. At this time it looks as if Mr. Aiken will be in the second race unless he con tinues to lose ground as he has during the past two weeks. If he loses as much ground in the next three weeks as he has in the past two he will not be in the second race is our opinion. There is no doubt in our mind that if John A. Horton is put in the second race he will win over Mr. Aiken or any other man in the race. Mr. Aiken's friends also believe this and as it looks like Mr. Horton will be in the second race they are fighting him and some are trying to create wrong impressions in favor of some other man. If the election were to come ofl' to day Mr. Horton would be in the second race and would be our next congress man. If his friends sit steady in the boat he will be elected. This article is not intended to injure any one, but it is a statement of facts which are apparent to close observers, and is intended to help keep professional politicians from pulling the wool over the people's eyes. We wan t all candidates to get a square deal. We also want the people to get a square deal and we intend to do what we can to see that they do get it. If you have your own interest at heart. beware of the professional poli tician and his tales. ACCOMPANIED by our wife we spent' two of the most pleasant days within our memory at the more than hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Spearman at Plabtown, in Anderson county, last week. This is one of the finest sections of Anderson county and it is natural that some of the finest people live there. Crops' there are line, especially cotton. Mr. Spearman has 500 acres of cotton and expects to make over 300 bales. Other crops are also good. While An derson county can beat Pickens making cotton Pickens can beat Anderson mak ing corn. Mr. Spearman also has a fine watermelon patch. tho there are not as many melons in it now as there were before we got there. Between the wa termelons and a boundless supply of other good things to eat, prepared by one of the best cooks in the land, we came very near incapacitating ourself f*or further usefulness. Mr. Speariman denied that he had ever thought of run ning for~ the legislature in And'erson counity. SOUrTH CAROLINA's youngest news p~aper is the Charleston American, a morning paper, wvhich made its appear anee Sunday with a 100-page edlition. Its edlitor is John P.
