LTAMiM" IN IRELAND. 4 ? rleans ere not alone In their OvsAr ttlon of recent British pro ; ntdAn irrl.ird. There are critics '? 'n edl^ti and governmental position* In KnBkd whoae utterances are as . Co?4*tflh>ry a.> any In this country Alfred ^fcoardtner In the London l*ni'y Ne^^speak? In scathing terms of ths foamof ' employing a great Mini ir, r< MfliMf r? eoiintrv thnt de mands freedom as her own right," | and adds: "We have shown we can rival the Mashi-liazouks of the Hultan and tho Black Hundreds of the Csar. We have done In Ireland things the Germans . nover did In Posen and the Russians | never did in Poland. We have set up .y government by slaughter and arson. We have organized gangs of hooligans to run amucl: through tho land, an* swering crime with tenfold crime, murdering Indiscriminately and burning indlscrlrntnaiely. We have heard these things defended and en couragecV by the British premier. We have heard a buffoon get up in the House of Commons and talk about raking Ireland east, west, north and south." He calls the policy "satanism in gov- ' ernmwt.v There is no question that i Indefensible crimes are being commit- j tsd in Ireland by British troops by j the order or with the assent of tho British government. The Irish problom Is admittedly one of the fhost perplexing in the world. Precisely how it shall be settled Is strictly none of this country's business, but common humanity as ?well as com? mon sense Justifies the demand, from this or any other quarter of the world, that Ireland be treated with less se? verity. HOUSING TEACHERS. Not better salaries alone, but homes In which to live, furnish tho induce? ment to stay tn the profession which many Texas communities are holding out to teachers, it -is reported that In 1,000 school districts in tho state the ritlsens have voted bonds or oth? erwise raised funds for the erection of ' twit herages" in connection with rural I schools. Frequently the teacherage is located on s tract cf several acres. Part of this land is then used for gar? dening and agriculiur.ti experiments and instruction. In some other states teacherages ore no longer a new Idea. It is likely that their place In the rural school stem will become more firmly estab? lished as time goes on. This solves only tho rural problem, however, and tne teachers In the larger cities are still suffering from the housing prob? lem. In one community a special ap? peal was issued to citizens just before ?hool opened in September to open their homes to teacher roomers. The response was not very prompt or generous. Many persons seemed to fear'?.hat teachers, were too much trouble snd required more attention than other roomers.' Teachors, like any othor human be? ings, need pl.ua* to..live in. And if I they are to keen in good condition for .their work, mentally physlaally ana spiritually, they need comfortable und pleasant surroundings, with leisure and quiet for study ane* rest. It would be a big undor'aklru for any large urban community to Hi end to the housing of all Its teachers by means of ? Axe teacherage. But certainly\ any ' community ought to make It possible. I by paying salaries iarge enough to cover a 1 needs, for the teachers to attend to their rwn housing without having to live in small, cramped or .otherwise unploassnt quarters. ARMIKTICK DAY. Tho second anniversary of Armis? tice Day will occur on Thursday, the tlth of November. Two years since, the world went mad with joy because a trgce had been arranged and th< hostilities of the great war ended. It is a day for rejoicing, trub I enough, but not for rejoicing alone, it Is s day for memory. Precious lives were paid to bring thst day to pass. It Is a day for serious contemplation. There acn bo no celebration of the closing of that blocdy war without some thought being given to its be? ginnings, to the evils ?n!ch brought it about. Are *V.ey sulalued forever, among all- nations, or are they merely lying in wait to start the whole thing over again ? These boys who died, did they die just for a single day or for an eternal cause? And If it was the let? ter, what has this natron done definite? ly to advance it? Armistice Dp* should be celebrated as the anniversary of a glorious mo? ment in the past, but it should also be celebrated with a full understand? ing of Its deep future significance and the responsibility which It Imposes upon this nation to Join the otner na? tions In a peace that shall be Just, bioad and lastlrg. a true prevention of any repetition of the war which Ar? mistice Day brought to a close. 1 I ?! 1.? ? ?? MOTORING GENIUS. "There is no doubt," says a tech? nical motor expert, "that real auto? mobile d'lvers are bom with natural talents, as are artists, musicians and other geniuses." The reader need not hasten to make a personal application for this re lie may belong to the gifted mentioned b'.t the chances er? that he dors no* Consider how few geniuses there sre among all the pur? ple who pulnt and plsy. "As a very small percentage have this reel talent." continues the exp it. "it behoove* the average man to sled: hard, as he dr\?-s carefully, an 1 gH bis experience ,n ?mall, Inevpousiw* dOSSS TT^ if no* nr ? y>f riorc ^r] flr'p - ?r until he has handled a car several yours under all cundilions, and h-. i only fooling himself if he believes the contrary." This-is just about the most sensible word yet spoken on the subject of au? tomobile driving, as candid and intel? ligent drivers will confess. Most driv ers aro getting their experiences in doses that are too bier, and to expen? sive for themselves and others. Th< number of automobile accidents is in? creasing alarmingly. The genius may learn quickly. The ordinary man or woman had better give up the no? tion that a car can be learned and mastered in a week or a month, and go slo'wly, carefully and observingly, with a mind alert and ready to learn some? thing about the art even after a year or two of experience. TRICE CONTROL. Tho "fair price committees" or-, gantzed under the direction of the fed? eral departmen4 of Justice have been disbanded. On the whole, they have done a useful work, for which they will be gratefully remembered. Their achievements have been for the most part Intangible. They have not put many profiteers out ot business by di? rect action, but they have done much to educate the public us to commodity values and the need of buying more carefully and thriftily, and in the long run this has accomplished the same purpose. It is this revived thriftlness on the part of the consuming public which, more than any other ractor, is respon? sible for lower price levels.: If people had remained v.illlng to pay the same ?!d war prices without question, prices would have remained up, regardless of big crops and increased factory out? put and dimbVshc] exports. Trade instinctively takes si! the profit the traffic will bear. The department of justice announce* Its Intention ot containing its war or. profiteers, using whatever legal means are in its powei N.'hatover it may do hereafter, the most effective work wll. still be that of the public itself, which holds In its hands a weapon more po? tent than law?the power to refralr. from buying when it is not satisfied with tho price. Living costs are going down; living conditions are growing a little caste; for the great mass o: clt'zens. The> will continuo to groiv easier prcclse!> in so far as tho purchasing public buys what it really needs instead of superfluities, and uishVs on sound quality rather than {ooiish frippery in what it buys Such a policy not only oaves the purchaser's money In any particular case, but it serves to discourage the production cf costly luxuries and en? courage the production of useful staples, and thus makes the real necef sarieM of life more plentiful and cheap. BAA KS MERIT CONFIDENCE. While the wave of glittering Invest? ments may have receded a little in the past few months, there are still onL\ too many fake and get-rlch-qulck schemes to tempt the unwary inves? tor. It Is well that, as a means for off? setting these seductions, the savings banks of the country be given all the publicity possible, as the best deposi? tories for the earning:! of tho average citizen. D.uring the past year the national bank capital of the country has been Increased more than 1118,000,000 and lbs earnings have Increased nearly $600.000,000. In the same period, failures of such Institutions have in I volved a capital of less than $20r>,000. Where is tho wild-cat company which can show a bal inoe sheet like that? John Skelton Williams, comptroller of the currency, In speaking of tie healthy condition of America's bank? ing system toda". says: MNo six yours in the history of the world have brought convulsions so momentous or intense. The manner in which our banks have endured these ordeals is an impressive Indication that they were not tempted from the ways of ?afety and honesty by the excitement of inflation. The policy of wisdom and of lldollty iJ trust und rosponsi ity that has kept us secure is generally uniform, and has guided the smallest and more remote banks as well as the largest at tho commercial centers," In the/face of fact': like these, the bank leaves little to be desired as a place wherein to deposit money or to which to appeal for advice or invest? ments or monetary matters of any kind. In a world seamed through with recklessness and dishonesty, the banks of America and tho men who direct their policies have Htood the test unshaken.

Present, Dr. S. H. Edmunds, President; VV. M. Levi, Secretary; Dr. D. W. Green, and I. K. Nash. Scouts Louis Lyons, Jr., and Carleton Whilden appeared be? fore the board and passed their exam? ination for merit badges In scholar? ship, swimming and first aid. At a recent meeting of tho troup scout Chas. L. Cuttino was elected Cheer Leader, vice Frank Clarke re? signed. The troup has been working very hard under Scout Master Levi prepar? ing for tho trip for Columbia In which the Sumter scouts were to have test? ed their skill in a number of ways with the scouts of Columbia. All Sumter scouts are heartily disappoint? ed that this trip has fallen through. Scouts have been busy passing cer? tain tests the past week. Scout Chas. Cuttino has passed hi* tests for a sec? ond class scout. The Flying Eagle patrol represent? ed the scout troop at the Sunday school services held at tho Presby? terian church Sunday afternoon and recited the scout oath and law. FAIR WEEK NOTES. Every automobile owner who will have decorated car in the big automo? bile and trades display parade will kindly notify Sumter Chamber of Commerce. Mr. W. T. Harmon at the Chandlor-Harmon Motor company. This is important in order to know about how many cars will participate. State whether your car will be in the private owned car section or in the commercial owned car section. Every business concern in Sumter is requested bv the executive com mitteo to use their advertising space in local and out of town papers this week In advertising the merchants' bargain and gahwweek, and the Great? er Gamecock County fair. Advertise your own business and bargains and invite your friends and customers to visit Sumter November 16th, to 19th, and tell about our big bargain and gala week and Greater Gamecock County fair. The more peo? ple you convince through widespread advertising that your firm and other Sumter concerns are giving bargains well worth whilo coming to Sumter for the more business you will get. Me?TS. J. Frank Williams, A. E. Gregg and E. I. Krardon did some pretty good work last week advertis? ing the bargain and gala week and county fair. They Visited Lynchburg, Cartersville, Timrrionsvllle, Florence ind intermediate points, and returned via Hudson's bridge and through Shi toh, Maycsvllle and Concord town? ships tackmg flag's and signs, ahd .a'.K UK up our coming combinat'.pn events of, ne:tt Week. Messrs. Williams and Keardon put in last Saturday dec? orating automobiles with county fair .signs. Fifteen papers arc carrying hall vage advertisements In seven or eiglu counties telling about Sumter's bargain nd^galu week, and every one of these papers aro carrying spicy and inter? esting news stories about the events in the same issues with the display ad? vert lsouunta. Sumter's merchants can help out a great deal by simply turning their reg? ular advertising space Into bargain week and county fair advertisements and by taking additional space for these events. Those who do not ad? vertise at all will find this a fine op? portunity to get into the habit of tell? ing what they have to offer, if they aro really offering bargains. Let's all pull together for a suc? cessful gala week, more business, ad? vertising Sumter and Sumter's t: excelled bargains and up to date bus? iness establishments. If we don't sell clean out of goods during bargain snd gala week we will show what Sumter has to offer, we will advertise Sumter over much territory, and Sumter will surely reap the benefits of widespread advertising later on. Show tho "Sum tor spirit" and the Sumter grit to stand ^up under adverse conditions, weather the temporary storm and come out .liko victorious gamecocks flapping f their wings and crowing. _ THREATENED UPRISING IN NORTHERN CHINA. Mukden. Nov. 5.? Major General Chu Chu-hslang, commanding Chi? nese troops in Urga. in an urgent tele? gram to General Chang Tso-lin, com? missioner for the three northern Chi? nese provinces, reports unrest in Crga, Kobdo and among a few tribos in Outer Mongolia. He alleges that the Mongolians, with foreign aid and encouragement, are plotting to recover their autonomy, and that unless ar? rears of pay to the troops and rein? forcements are forthcoming serious disturbances are likely to occur. General Chang is. accordingly, dis? patching a brigade of troops. ARMISTICE DAY. Mr. Editor: Ca.n I trespass upon your time tn ask if Sumter has completely forgot? ten what tills day means? 1 have scanned our local papers for the past week and have failed to notice a single line or Idea expressed com? memorating this day, which to m> mind, is the day of days In our year. Perhaps I am in error, and the dif? ferent churches intend having Ar? mistice l>ay services and eur city fathers intend calling it to the pub? lic's attention, this week. 1 certainly hope so. But I have noticed great publicity to the day after?some local celebra? tion In tho county. I earnestly hope ] am in error, as certainly Sumter's peo? ple are not unmindful of November 11th. What true American could for? get what it means. ?PATItlOT." Democratic Party To Keep Up Battle Will Make Itself Felt in Con? gress, Says Harrison Washington, Nov. 6.?Another move toward reorganization of tho Demo? cratic party was made here today, when Senator Harrison, of Mississippi, chairman of the speakers' bureau during the campaign issued a state? ment calling on his fellow Democrats to "bury all past differences and for? get about the recent campaign." "The Democratic party is not dead," he said, "it has only received a tem? porary setback and will make itself felt every day of every session of congress until fhe next election rolls, around. "Governor Cox made a gallant fight He impressed the country as measur- ! ing up in the fullest degree to the j important role to which he had been ! assigned. A grateful party will hold him in highest esteem for tho splen? did fight he has made and will con? tinue to look upon him as the real leader." As to party reorganization, Mr. Har? rison said: "I believe that' there should be a change in the permanent organization ! of the Democratic paity. 1 don't mean by that that Chairman George White j should not be retained as chairman of j the national committee. He showed ! marked ability in the management of j the recent campaign which was waged J against overwhelming odds. No one could have done better than ho did under the circumstances. "He has a very keen insight touch? ing future plans and I am sure that when they are put in force every ele? ment within the Democratic party will approve of them. "I want to see every Democrat in the country', no matter what his views in the past have been or what hia course was in the recent campaign, brought into line and a militant or? ganization maintained to fight united? ly tho reactionary policies the Re? publican party will at^uredly attempt to inaugurate.v "The results of tho recent election, while of course discouraging to t ' Democracy of the nation, should in- I fluenco Democrats to stand united as never before and werk together in a spirit of complete cooperation and ac? cord. I have no criticism to make of those Democrats who failed to aid i the party when the 'going was hard.' j I want to see complete harmony with? in our ranks."

Urges Co-operation in United States Must Forget Passions and Hat? reds, Says McAdoo To Restore Party Unity New York, Nov. 7.?Willima G. Mc? Adoo, former Secretary of the Treas? ury, in a statement tonight comment? ing on the result of the national elec? tion, declared that "what the country needs is subsidence of the passions and hatred engendered by the war and the partisan political appeals that have followed." "It is of no value to try to explain the causes of the Democratic defeat November 2," the statement said. "The overwhelming Republican victory has given that party the presidency and both houses of the cong ess. After March 4 next, it will have* entire re? sponsibility for the policies and ad? ministration of the government, and can not evade or excuse its failure to perform tho promises it ha? made to the country. Under our political system it is always better to have one party cont rol at Washington than to have divided authority. "What the country imperatively needs tow is subsidence of the pas? sions and hatreds engendered by the war and the partisan political appeals that have followed. The country is sick of political standards and con? troversies. It wants domestic as well as international peace and it wants restoration of that fine spirit of co? operation which made America in? vincible in war. We face domestic and. international problems of great grav? ity. The only way to solve them is through Cooperation. The highest duty of the leaders of both parties is therefore to promote better feeling among all classes of our people, to re? frain from unworthv appeals to class and racial prejudices and to brlngto bear upon our serious problems that dispassionate and intelligent consid? eration through which alone there is promise of genuine public service. "The Democratic party has suffered a severe but not a disastrous defeat. It is for frcm dead; it is not even seriously wounded. Throughout our history overwhelming political re? verses havo been followed by extra? ordinary political recoveries. So long as the Democratic party is true to its mission of service to the common peo? ple it will live. What we must do now is to bui'.d up and strengthen ths party organization, not in the interest i of individual Ol group or faction, but ; for the cause of Democracy itself, and ; above all for service of country'- It I will not be difficult, through proper } leadership and organization to rein spire party enthusiasm, to restore* ? party unity, to maintain party ideals I and principles and to regain popular j confidence. To this task Democratic I leaders must now drive themselves j with unselfish patriotism and cour i age." Samoa Governor Takes Own Life _ Washington Nov. 6.?Commander Warren J. Terhune. naval governor of Samoa, shot and killed himself at noon November 3. said a dispatch re? ceived today at the Navy Department Commander Terhune recently was ordered relieved from duty as com? mandant at Samoa and Capt.
