FRIDAY, DECEI ELECTION BY PRIMARIES President Wilson further urpes in his messape the nomination of presiflpntinl nonrli/lnlAr. :? 1 * vuuuiuoics uy primaries, DUl would retain conventions for the purpose of framing platforms. He expresses the view that there is a wide tendency towards the direct vote. In this he is certainly correct. The age of true democracy is at hand. In the next few years this will be seen by the blind politicians as it is now seen hy the seers of the nation. PRESIDENT WILSON WOULD HELP THE FARMER President Wilson in his recent message to Congress, urges measure of currency reform that will prove of lasting benefit to the farmers of the country. He urges that special provision be made for facilitating the credits needed by the farmers. He sees in the currency bill, now before Congress, a measure which puts the farmer upon an equal footing with other business men. The exact dey'Is of t^e plans to help the agricul [ 4 I1 Will- ^ 'J*-' T w"* need for suca legislation is ^^H^^H^^strongly emphasized is a signifiPRESIDENT WILSON'S PHILIPPINE POLICY President Wilson's Philippine policy is in line with his other utterances going to emphasize the principles of democracy. He would lead the people of the Philippines upward to self government. He urges that they be given more and more control of their affairs and ultimately that they be given complete self government. This also is democracy. Then too. this policy will not keep us in constant turmoil with the other nations. The land-grabbing policy is the policy that leads to wars and rumors of wars. Our country is so great in area that we have no need of adding new territory. Development of our vast resources, not new conquests, should be our aim. \ NATIONAL HONOR AND OBLIGATIONS President Wilson in his first annual message, says: "There is only I one possible standard by which to de termine controversies between the A United States and other nations, and V that is compounded of these two eleI ments?our own honor and our obligations to the peace of the world." This utterance is the utterance of a statesman far removed from the plane of the demagogue. It is just this high idealism in President Wilson that is so confounding to his enemies and harsh critics. The general lack of sincerity and the presence of no little hypocritical cant are too often the chief elements in the utterances of our public leaders. The straightforward utterances of President Wilson are so astounding that they utterly disarm the carping critics, and carry conviction to the hearts of the people. Honesty, not falsehood, is and will always he the foundation upon which a nation can build permanently. I > N TIMES THE UNION TIMES COMPANY BELL PHONE NO. 1 Editoi n, S.

Roland Coleman is a brother of Harry Coleman, who now lingers in jail pending an appeal before the Supreme Court, which is familiar to all the readers of The Times. A tree peddler was here the other day delivering a lot of fruit trees and strawberry plants. Quite a num ber of people were getting strawberry plants and paying four dollars per hundred for them?a little bunch that would not more than fill a hall gallon cup. The tree man claimed they were everlasting strawberries and some of them had blossoms or them. Well, here is my experience with ever lasting strawberry plants I bought a hundred plants a few years ago and I found out they hac he wrong name, instead of beinp ever bearing they were never bearing for they never bore a pint of fruil during their whole existence. Mj berry plants have plenty of bloom: on them now and I would have eiver all who bought plants from the ped dler, more than they bought anc charged them nothing, but people wil be humbugged in spite of all thai can be said or done. My berries ar< the sharpless and are good enougl for me. Miss Woodie Brown, 01 Woodruff spent Thanksgiving day with her sis tcr, Mrs. Dr. Southard.

An Operator. NEW HOPE NEW HOPE, Dec. 12.?As I have been absent so long I will come again but hope not to get blown off the track, as I did before.

Miss Pardue is principal, her assistants are the Misses Engle and Holman. These teachers are very attractive looking young ladies and the old bachelors and widowers will want to join the old maid club, I guess. One has already said he wanted to be a member of it. There was a very large crowd to witness the play and the patrons all appeared to enjoy seeing their children act their parts so well, and to know they had been trained b^ fully experienced hands. Have another play young ladies and Moxy and I will come again if you will let us know. Mr. and Mrs. Walter Palmer are visiting Mr. J. G. Bishop's family.

LAURENS PRISONERS LEAVE COUNTY JAIL r ' LAURENS, Dec. 1.?Six negro r ' prisoners at the county jail cut their [ way to liberty this morning some } rtime after midnight, and made good ' their escaDe. Tonicht thev ?ro still 1 at large but efforts are being made j to recapture^ them by the officers and I it is probable that the entire bunch (will soon be back behind the bars. One of the fugitives is Sam Price, convicted at the summer term of court of murder and given a life sentence, the jury having recommended ' mercy. The other five were in jail on minor charges. They* are: John French, John Hill, John Jacks, Leumas Allison and Ben Wardlaw. Thev effected their escjine hv oouj. t , ,? -J ?.. } ing out a couple of bars in the steel cages in which they were confined and let themselves down to the ground from an upper story window ^ by the use of blankets. The exit j through the window was made by ret moving the sash and prying apart the heavy outside iron bars. Evidently a hack saw was used in cutting i) >ut the bars in the steel cages, but i it is a mystery to the jailer how they secured the saw or file. 1 Something New In Vaudeville The management of the Edisonia Theatre has completed arrangements with one of the largest vaudeville booking agencies in the South for a place on their circuit.
