Contrast a community where it thrives, where everybody are neighbors with one where it is a negligible quantitiy. Consider how gregarious a creature is man, and how his nature demands intercourse with his fellows. Did you ever stop to reckon up your per centage of happiness and comfort?just what it would amount to without your neighbors? About nine-tenths of all the enjoyment one gets out of life comes either directly or indirectly from our neighbors, our friends. Without these we would be hermits, or Robinson Crusoe's brought up to date. Are you doing your part as a neighbor? Do you realize that your neighbor needs a neighbor just as bad as you do? Are you doing your full * * -1 -.1- - pail 10 pass aiong uie nvue acis ui kindness, neighborliness that makes life more worth while, or are you like the sponge, absorbing until you are full and never giving up until you are squeezed. HUNTING HORNETS The Baltimore American, leading Republican newspaper of Maryland, says: "If there is any one so short in memory as to forget the immense satisfaction that the nation experienced un having the president it did at the head of the nation during the war era?a man with clarity of mind and with inspiration of utterance, and with soundness of judgment, and with set and grim purpose to win the war, irrespective of the formidability of the foe, the exhaustion of the Allies of the dull traditions of old world warfare?that one should be made ashamed in reading the war instructions of Mr. Wilson to the Atlantic fleet, given in person on the flagship Pennsylvania, August 11, ^ 1917. There is called for a truce in the political campaign, in which men and positions are placed in the exaggerated light of censure and abuse, to pay tribute to the head of the nation during the war without whom the issue of that strife might have been different. He was the American president, and no particle of the glory of the war epoch will be subtracted from the luster of the Wilson patriotism by anything that may be said as to the Wilson partisanship during the months of the peace treaty fight. Even here an honest and admiring tribute is paid by an inveterate op- i ponent, Senator Borah"; who expresses i his deep sense of respect for the firm j stand of the president upon his con- j victions as to the peace treaty. "No expression of Mr. Wilson j among the many things of vital preg- ; nancy that he has uttered will last longer than his vivid simile of the i hornet's nest: 'We are hunting hor- j nets all over the farm and letting the ; nest alone. None of us know how to go to the nest and crush it, and yet I dispair of hunting for hornets all I over the sea when 1 know wnere tne nest is and know that the nest is breeding hornets as fast as I can find them. I am willing, for my part, and I know that you are willing, because I know the stuff you are made of?I am willing to sacrifice half the navy that Great Britain and we have to crush that nest, if necessary*. If we crush it, the war is won.' Not less pregnant is the statement that traditions must be cast to the winds. A very strange word for the old war-experienced and war-tradi?tions-ridden Allies of the old world! A very remarkable attitude in the view of the great Baval power, Great Britain! 'Every time we have sug jested anything to the British admirality the reply has come back that virtually amounted to this, that it had never been done that way, and I felt like saying, Well, nothing was ever done so systematically as nothing is being done now. Therefore, 1 should like to see something unusual happen.' Another of the wonderful bits of forceful inspiration was the adjuration, 'Please leave out of youi vocabulary altogether the word 'prudence,' ' And yet the United States has beer condescended to by our British cousin; when the testimony is that upon lane and sea the war was won after this country went into it, casting prudence to the winds and smashing the idols of European traditions. Ger many lost the war because of doing things the way they had been done before and relying upon maundering; of an old-school war boAd. The Al/ i n lies were in process 01 losing tne wai upon the same account. The -Vnitec States entered into it with the splendid ameteurishness of which Mr. Wilson spoke, and beset with the on? idea, to win at all hazards. The matter. therefore, was speedily closed up The North Sea barrage, a feat of tremendous genius, was the great contribution of this country upon the seas in addition to the feat of getting 3,000,000 of men over the ocean thai had been in the state of a farm overrun with hornets. The rnagnificenl dash and valor of the men of the nav> and of the army of the United States responded to the magnificent daring and audacity of the one who was the responsible head of the army anc navy of the country. It is a pleasure for all Americans to pause in the midst of the campaign fight that is of the genius oi American party politics, to give salute to the man who more than anj other made the winning of the wai possible?by breaking loose from the old world traditions and giving tc every man in America his chance tc contribute ideas and service. The picture would be tarnished by anj discussion of the exceedingly painfui and generally deplored and illbasec strictures of Admiral Sims upon the American navy, although gratitude will be felt that the < ontroversy has borne this fruit of testimony to the actual state of mind of Mr. Wilsor toward the principal ally and the unity of all the common cause. Senator Smith was in Columbia Monday and filed his campaign pledge and paid his assessment to Gen. Willie Jones, treasurer of the state Demo cratic executive committee. He statec that he would be absent when the campaign opens at Sumter, June 22, a* he will be on the way to the national convention at that time. However he wishes to go before the people al home whenever he can do so, and talk over some situations in national affairs. "I feel sure that the inquiring people of the state know my record and Vnftur that T havp endeavored tc serve them in these trying years through which we are passing," said Senator Smith, "and it has been very gratifying to me to receive so many personal expressions of confidence and esteem as have come to me, especially of late." ???o New Candidates.

Smith announces himself a candidate for appointment tc the office of Magistrate at Hebron. HYMAN SUPF I ATTENTION, MI H Now is the time to place yc |i fall use.
