('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.

meeting last 'Phursday. It is said that

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.

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.
