We wish everybody liked us like we like everybody. The soldier boys are now writing back about Hell Paso. We understand that Mr. Knapp is quite wide awake. CANDIDATES are powerful solicitoui these days about the poor laboring man. At least one officer on the Mexican border Is Blythe, and he's from South Carolina. There seems to be quite a difference between Justice Hughes and Candidate Hughes. We hope the South Carolina tro*opa will not bring back any live Mexicans as souvenirs. Toxaway dam is busted. But at that it hasn't got anything on some of the rest of us. "EXTENDED remarks" take up a heap of otherwise good space in the Congres sional Record these campaign times. About three weeks ago we read a long article by an "expert" explaining why Toxaway dam would never break. WHAT has become of that old fash ioned paragrapher, Col. Aftermath? Aiken Review.

Well as Pollyanna says; it could have beei 'worse. He could have moved to Ander 'son South Carolina Democrats have con tributed more than $3000 to the Wilson Marshall campaign fund. It ha. beel wokth more than that just to have beel kept out of war, not to mention th other good things which this adminis tration has caused. D. WATSON BELL, who for the pas two years has been editor of the Yorl News and made It one of the brightes papers in the state, has resigned fron that place and accepted the position of city editor of the Spartanburg Herald, We wish him dhccess in his new field.

Will Vote For Wyatt Aiken "I have' never voted for Wyatt Aiker for Congress," said a well-known farm er the other day, "but I am going t< -vote for him this year, and I am domns e all I can to get my friends and neigh bors to vote for him. I am doing thiu 'because of the outrageous fight that iE - being made on him. While I have never voted for Mr. Aiken", the gentleman continued, "1 have never had an ything against him, Sit just so happened that when he had - opposition I preferred the other fellow. . And this year I had intended to vote , for one of his opponents, who is my warm personal friend of long standing r but Ishave made up my mind that- unI der the circumstances it is my duty to vote for Aiken and shall do so. Wyatt Aiken is a clean man, honest t and decent. His position on all public questions since he hs been in Congress ,has been sound. He has wonderful en orgy, and he has looked closely after the -imterests of his constituents. He has done as well as anybody else could have . done. "And yet he is being fought most outrageously by a few people, mainly one or two carpet-baggers who have - come into this section from the Lord - knows where, and by a few degenerates i among our own people. They have ac cused him of every political and person al offense that anybody could think of. 3 I have personally investigated some of - these charges and have found them to be absolu tely without foundation.Thr is no question about.Thr "Now, if a fight of this kind can be successfully waged against a man like Wyatt Aiken, it can be waged against any other man, and It will result in driving decent men out of public life. It will prevent decent men from run ning for office in the future, and we just can't afford that. "We had a government in this state once that was run by carpet-baggers, negroes and scalawag native whites, and we ought to remember it. I for one don't want to return to anything of that kind. "I have talked with a good many men about this during the past week or two," he concluded, "and most of them agree with my views. jf the people will look at them as I do, we Will get together and elect Wyatt Aiken on the first primary, and thus put an end to this kind ot dirty politics in the Third District. I feel that we owe It to him to do this, but more especially do I feel that the people owe it to themselves. If we permit honest clean men to be driven out of public life by such meth ods, we will rue the day, just as sure as Iwo live."-Anderson Daily Mail.
