('t (; i. l OtIoN\iI and ex Congressou in :Aiken were at the Pick '2ens meeting. 'They made no speecenes, but were quietly campaigning. As yet, not much interest has developed in this race. Ir is quite useless to say that the large audience at the Pickens c'inpaign meeting Wednesday was well-behatm^l and and the order perfect, because Pick etas audiences are noted for their good behavior and fairness. And when can cndidates come to this county they also know to behave themselves, for our people wil stand for no other kinI of ;'+conduct. ALt. Tl-: candidates who spoke at Pickens list Wednesday made it plain that they were running on their own merits and not swinging to any man's coat tai', except Mr. W ightlman, candi date for lieutenant governor, who made it very phain that ht' is expecting to be elected by swinging to the coat tail of Mr. HIlease. Mr. Wightnan devoted more of his speech to 1ir. Ulease than he did to himself, and those who heard his speech coul not help but notice it. THE winning of the war is beyond all doubt the most important issue before the people today and it is not only nat ural but quite right that we should be more interested in that than in anything else. Still, there never was a time when we should he moIre careful in the - selection of our ollicers than now. The men we elect his year will very likely be in ollice when the war ends and we will surely need good, strong and true men as leaders then. M1:ssis. ltenIAlOt ANt) IIETrilta cane near having a fight at the Greenville meeting last 'Phursday. It is said that Itichardls was abiout to strike Hethea when Police andl others inte'rferedl. 'I he trouble began when Mr. Hethea asked lMr. Richards if he endlorsed the P oma ria speech'l of Cole I,. Hlcase in which Mlr. lease' said that the blood of A mer ican soldiers killed ini this war would he on the hands of Il'residlen t Wilson and those congressme(n who voted for J 'war. TIHEI caminpa ign medience in Pick ens last Wedhnesday was composed of r'eal Pickens county citizens, the linest type 14 of citizenship in the world, and as for us, we ar'e willing to risk their choice of oflicers any daiy. Th'ley may make mistakes, but if they do, it. is because they are nmsm.-oRMII. Nobody can tell us~ that the people vote for men whom they 'TEINEi wII1 o MAEte good oflicers. .They vote for men whom they think wna. mtake good otlicers; hut, of course, cand(idalten sometime fool us all. But we are learning every day., HE SENTINli siders it very un.. forunae tat hemistake occurred abouit the time of the closing of the club rolls. Sonme people think there was a trick in it. We do not think so, ats people of all factions have the same access to both the rules of the party and the acts of the legislature, and had 'the same opportunity of discovering the mistake. It does not look like the pe litical leaders in the state would have 'discovered th~e error before they did. The people who make our laws should be more careful. WHEN The Sentinel learnedl that the club rolls would close July 23 instead of July 30, as had been advertised by 'county chairmen all over the state, last 'iweek's paper had been mailed. The 'ooks would be closed before this paper would be issued, so we printed an extra Paer and mailed it Friday to all of our aubscribers in Pickens county. The paper was small, but it contained all necessary information concerning the closing of the club rolls and we trust it did some good. We would be very aorry to see any person debarred from voting because he failed to register, no matter for whom lhe intended to~ vote. The privilege of voting is very sacred, and in a government like ours it is important that all men should be interested enough to votefor he en wlh)eibuJ4 nulirL o the guvcrad. ON OF the cleanest, clearest and soundest carnpelgn speeches we ever heard was the one made by R. A. Coop er, candidate for governor, at the meet ng in Pickens last Wednesday. It was ;o far above the average campaign ;peech it was very noticeable, and we lope strikes a new keynote in South Jarolina politics. We have never voted 'or Mr. Cooper and could not be called ''Cooper man.'' We went to the neeting perfectly neutral and our opin on of Mr. Cooper is unbiased. his peech and demeanor appealed to us ;reatly. There was not the slightest esenblance of mud-slinging in his speech, he tried to create no wrong im ressions and did not make a lot of ri siies which candidates usually make For tl sole purpose of catching votes, lut which cannot be filled. Instead he adel' in honest, straighltforward talk, ap&pealed to the I airmindedness and in elIigence of the people, and not to their 'rejulices, discussed real issues which itally ail'e the people, and he made a ot of votes here. God speed the day yhen all candidates for oflice in south Carolina may talk about real issues which all'ect the p eople's welfare, in stead of factionalisn. Soldiers' Testaments No more appropriate gift could be made to a soldier than a New Testa ment, and believing that many Pickens county parents would like to make suc a present to their boys, ''he Sentinel has secured a number of copies of the New Testament which will make par ticularly pleasing presents for the boys. These testaments are emphasized with the words of Christ printed in bold face typo. Strongly and neatly bound in khaki colored Morocco grained water. roof Keratol-flexible limp cover, em bossed back bands, round corners, khaki edges, gold title, beautiful em bossed American flag in colors on th< )utside cover. Printed on specially strong Bible paper. Only 3xl. inches and half an inch thick. Type is plain and clear-self-pronouncing. 'T'he four great American hymns are printed and hound with this sailors and soldiers testament. These testaments are made especially for boys in the military ser vice. As we have only a limited supply we can only let subscribers of The Sentinel have them at present. The price is 13 cents each. When ordering by mail add 5 cents extra for each Testament. Why Birth Registration is Nec essary The only way of keeping an oflicia record of a person's birth is by birth registration. It is probably the mos important record in a person's life, be cause it is a proof of his or her legitim acy, his or her descent, his or her righ to inherit property belonging to the family, and his or her age for schooling, voting and marriage. It will not he long before a birth certificate is requir ed for almost every kind of service and occupation. It is really not safe to travel in any country without the legal authority of one's citizenship, wvhich is supplied by a birth certificate. Soldier Likes Home Paper lDear Editor: Find enclosed money order for your paper another year. I don't feel like I could do without the dear old Sentinel. It is just like a let ter from home.

NO) ' Bron W ithdraws To the Democratic Voters of Pickena County: Since announcing my candidacy for theofice of probate judge I have given the matter a thorough study and find ] cannot make the race without neglect ing another matter that I am under obligations to carry out. In order that my friends may understand my situa tion I will explain. First, I wish to say that as I am en gaged on a star mail route and have no other means of making a support, I haven't the time to can'vass the county. Second, as I am the contractor on said route and would lack one year and six months of my time being out when I would have to take charge of the of lice in case I was elected, and as my bondsmen would still be responsible for the other fellow's acts on the route in case I put on a substitute or sub-let the I route, I conceive it to be my duty to first look to the interest of the service and to the interest of my bondsmen as well as to my own interest. With this in view I have decided t( withdraw. I sincerely thank my friend: for the interest they have taken in m. behalf and assure them it will never be forgotten. I shall always stand read. and willing to do anything that lies ii my power to serve my friends. Most respectfully, J. ALONZo BROWN. (Advertisement.)
