UncleAdsays: "Advertising Appeals to the C o m i n g Gen erat ion" If you are building a business you can.. not afford to over look the youngsters. To olc er folks Ihep seem to grow up over night. Oioinvn have long memories. If they are slighted in your store they wil go esewhere when they can. And it is your privilege to advertise die fact that in your place children way buy as safely as their parents. Tere's many a prosperous business that owes its success to treating -de kids like grown-ups. 7re children of today are the eeMV and women of, tomorrow We are sure that the pepie of this :ity and county are profou'ndly grat iiled because of the many couipliuen wry expressions in regard to, Lau teas and the two Lautrens citizens who have been so signally honored by teir fellow citizens of Sbuth Caro Una. TAturens is not only lroud of ,ing so honored. .but she is prolud be Sca she was able to.ftrnish two such .able men 'or service to the state. *' * * "According to a iniiber of people who claim to have accurate knowledge Ur. Nicholis last Tuesday east his bal lat. for M.t B. Dial" said a report to The News and Courier from Sprtanhurg. That was to be expect ed. It was again characteristic of Mr. Nicholls and on a par with his vote on the conscription bill. Mr. Nicholls' voticy is to catch votes "con' and a gwinie'. Anybody can coime out for Dial new and feel preltty safe, when, as the same article reported "Hardly a fleoseit coul h be found on the streels today vho would adillit itat he voted for the t'orm11er governoir." A CAMIPAIGN CANAlID. re most contemptible maneuver -That a politician can be guilty of is the circulation of a report that ,vaaot be answered befor election time- If anything can be worse it is in hI:str a warning against such a re Wirt avid all the while be a1ssutlously 6t-r'ing one yourself. On. -u. h ri gtiart was plut. out iln the' fi rst race '0r .Con~gress in this districi. About Fri day before the election on Tuesday, long after the iregular camlpaign itin, strary.

'We do n1o1 'ion enoiudi of tile merits of thle case 40 pass 01n thleml, but Mr. Nicholls was in possession of whjatever' supp~losed facts heO hadi before~ he re(achted feqltm on 'the regular itinerary.

Then .fuel administrator' Issued a call ist week for a reduction in the con sinrp~on of gasoline by the discon tinuauce of Sunday ridIng In auto 1sebes. We believe that the ealt did no". :al c:1 daf eais, for the r'educ tien in Sunday riding was not teable. to a eensiderable extent at least here. Stinar repuorts come from lse5where. As the call came in the shape of a reement and not an order It was to be expected that some people would dis regant it and some did, but there was a 1arge oaving ini gasoline Sunday aby those arbo took the request to heart as all others should have. The re quest 'was. not for' a total dinnontinn ance of automobile traffic, reasonable ral'uiremtents for transportation be Ing revognized by the fuel administra (tol so that tno unec s:iry inconven. lence would be suffered by thost wh< depend upon this mode of travel in going from place to place and attend Ing to every-day dutles. The reluest wxas generally Complied with and we elleve will be more generally coim p1ied with as its importance is lin ipressed upon the public mind and con science as other similar sacrifices ha:"ve! beent and will be Iade. Pubili oidemnttitont i will tall upjion those who are so negligent of the armies in I .rance and the safety of their country as to wilfully refuse to co-operate with he government in this comparatively small way. The request of the fuel administration only called for a small sacrifice of pleasure on Sundays, but consideration of the great sacrifices being made by the soldiers in France should so awaken our consciences that all unnecessary automobiling be dis continued every day ini the week for there is no limit to the demand for Aasoline in K1urope. The time for heering and waving of flags has pass ed long ago, and we must now get down to realities. We cannot enjoy .e as we have before and support our armies abroad at the sane time. * * e T'ill ILI0ASON WIlY. After all else has been said about he reason for the outcome of the pri mary election for senator and gov ernor last week, only one more thing aced be said and that is "'lhe two best ien won". In the senatorial and gubernatorial races Dial and Cooper stood for outspoken and unquestioned Americanism, not only in regard to the war but in regard to every other phase of American life. There was no qiuestion of their own loyalty nor no (tIestion as to the loyalty of those with vhom they associated. Their record,; as public and p ,ate citizens com mtended them to the wisdom anid in telligence of the ! ctorate while thvi:' personalities appealed to the senses of friendship and cordiality. Neither one of them are of the firebrand order of politician, yet both of them are aggressive enough to create Coi fidence itt their integrity and stability. Therwar was the issue, and with sat sfactory assurantces of character and ability, tite battle was fouglht out otn !ltat issumie. The attempt to line lii) tle old illease and Tillinan following rut .r the title of "Reformtirs" failed. l'he people thiemiselv es saw that the oig plank itt the "Reforitt" phtform, a Platform built by illease and >c 'harleston American, was to tc.et bit the .socatied "ieformters" were not fooled. While standing by no principes that they have stood by .*rt years, principles which to tus have 1 ways appeared indefinite,' they pass ed up the candidates who sought to ride into office on them and voted for men who they considered better fitted for the places.

No Worrns in a Healthy Child All children troubled with worms have an un healthy color, whicht indicates poor blood, and as a rule, there Ia more or less stomach disturbance. GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC given regolarly for twoor three weeks will enrich the blood, im. prove the digestion, and act as a General Strength enIng TonIc to the whole system. Nature will then throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be in perfect health. Pleasant to take. 60e ver bottle. Mrs. Addle H~ellanm Dead. Mrs. Addie Hlellams, wife of Mr. N. P.

Seven full ripe tomatoes were in the cluster and all of then were so close together that they touch ed each other, making a picture that the garden seed houses might well have been proud to have In their catalogue. Mr. Reid said that lie had had many more clusters just as pretty and tha't his toniato crop was unusually good. W. . NASH SU VEYOR rerracing Leveling Drainage NOTARY PUBLIC Gray Court, S. C.
