() Prince of Peace!
<) Prince of Peace! to thee be fjiver.
The homape of the warrinj? world;
Let all the clouds of wrath be riven
And all the battleflajrs lie furled.
Let peace prevail where war enfolds
The millions of its blijrhtinjr breath.
Assort thy sway where hatred holds
Its awful carnival of death.
The village homes, where love and life
lid laugnter recently held sway,
Are desolated by the strife
And shattered in the fearful fray:
The harvest fields with blood run red,
Where sheaves of ripened strain
should he.
And Death, the Reaper, piles his dead
In furrows strewn with agony.
The widows and the orphans weep
For those they never more will se.>-.
The loved ones gone to their long
sleep,
The victims of this butchery.
Oh, pity the bruised hearts of those
and bid war's dreadful carnage
cease:
Make friends of them who now are
foes,
O Prince of Peace! O Prince of
Peace!
--J. E. P., in Now York Sun.
I Too much cotton; too little corn?
f that has been the trouble. Hut we
know better now.
Turkey has entered upon the war in
Europe. Other nations are almost
sure to be drawn in. Hut then, it
could not bo much worse than it is already.
The big ones are already in.
The small fry will not count to any
great extent.
From the almost complete returns
f>om the election Tuesday we are safe
in saying that. loss than half, probably
little more than one-third of the ei'.i*/.ens
voted n the election in this cu?v?ty.
The nrimary election is the whole
thine", but the condition may some
day lead to serious complications.
Condition-; are improving in the
world of trade. These conditions will,
in the next few weeks, show even
more marked improvement. Germany
and Kngland are now both buying
cotton. The price will, it seems,
be almost sure to rise. Here's hoping
that the whole situation in the South
will continue to improve.
To our way of thinking Governor
Blease did the right thing in refusing"
to sign the bond issue. We have honestly
tried to see how the bond issue
would help tin- distressed farmer. We
fail to see how. We also fail to setjust
how the scheme is fair to all the
citizens. Governor Blease has performed
a real service to the people in
that he allowed the measure to die.
Union county owes a debt to Miss
Alsie Smith and to Mr. F. W. C'arnell
for the splendid work they are doing.
Miss Smith, working in the interest of
the Girl-.' Tomato clubs and Mr. Carnell
with the farm demonstration
work and the Boys' Corn clubs. The
fact that both Mr. Carnell and Miss
Smith carried olF third prize at the
State fair shows the first class work
tiny arc.; doing in this county. The
erfeot of the work will continue to he
felf in this county for years to come.
Mexico has faded into insignificance
as a source of news, now that the European
war is raging. After all, news,
like human greatness, is very much
of a relative thing. But one wishes
that the pages of news from the war
in Europe would give a few facts?
one or two to the page, anyway. The
history of the who'e struggle, up to
ciate. could he written in one column,
we very much suspect, if the bald
facts alone were related.
WEST SPRINGS
West Springs, Nov, 3.?Furman
Fineher. a colored boy about 17 years
of age, was arrested Friday morning
by Sheriff Fant on the charge of entering
the residence of Mr. W. D.
Lancaster's safe. For some time Mr.
Lancaster has been missing monev
from his safe, which is sometimes left
unlocked in the day time. On Wednesday
he missed quite a large sum,
so he immediately took steps to catch
the thief. Friday morning Mr. W. T.
Harnett concealed himself in the
house and all Mr. Lancaster's family
left the building. In a few minutes the
negro came in and went to the safe at
once. Mr. Harnett placed him under
arrest as he was attempting to open
the safe which was locked. Sheriff
Fant was telephoned for and when he
came the negro confessed to having
entered the house and robbed the safe
on more than one occasion. When the
negro was arrested he turned over $55
to Mr. Lancaster which he acknowledged
taking from the safe some time
before this.
A temperance exercise was held at
Hogansville on last Sunday morning
and an excellent program was rendered.
Mrs. Fannie M. Lancaster and
Mrs. Y. E. Holcomb had charge of the
arrangement of the program and
mese lauics ui'scrvc i?? uv coimruiuiitied
for the success of the day.
The young people of the community
enjoyed a Halowe'en party at the
West Springs hotel on Friday evening.

JONES VILLE
Jonesville, Nov. ?I went to Columbia
last Wednesday while the fair
\v;is nn The exhibits :it the fair were
good hut tlie I?i<r crowd was not there
and it is very easy to understand the
reason why most everything is l>ein"curtailed.
Thursday morning I left
Columbia and ran over to Aujrusta
and I found the people of that town
very blue. They are certainly taking
the situation hard; but there was life
and hustle on the streets. Not as
much as usual for Augusta is a hustling
city in good times. Friday morning
I came back to Johnston where I
spent a day and night. I found the
crops about that place fine and in fact
all along the way from Leesville to
Thenton the crops and cotton are
good and the people have plenty and
are living well, but they are complaining
of hard times and I think this
grumbling and complaining is all
wrong. Really, hard times have not
struck us yet and perhaps never will.
Relief may come in time to save the
country. Just think how it is over in
Belgium. It is hard times over there
and in fact all the war zone. Let us
look on the bright side and he cheerful;
times are beginning to soften already.
Cotton is going to go up grad
ually till it reaches ten cents. Take
notice of my prediction!
The election is very quiet here today.
Mr. Glenn Harmon, who has been
quite sick for some time with fever,
has for some days been some better,
but he has suffered a relapse and is
seriously ill.
The services were very impressive
at the Presbyterian church on Sunday.
Rev. Mr. Porter preached a fine sermon:
then he received two boys into
the church, after which he administered
the sacrament of the Lord's Supper
to quite a number of communicants.
Miss Pearl Harris of Union spent
the week-end with Misses Jimmie
Hartley and Margaret Williamson at
Mr. Georjre Woods.
Miss Inez Spears, who is teaching
in the country spent Sunday at home
with her parents.
Mr. and Mrs. J. II. Herring and two
children and Mrs. M. M. I.awson and
little son all of Columbia, are visiting
Mr. and Mrs. .1. W. Bates. Mr. Bates
is quite sick.
Mr. and Mrs. W. B. May and little
son both spent Sunday in Jonesville
with the family of Mr. G. C. Wood.
Some of the younfr folk had a little
show party at Mr. G. C. Wood's Saturday
nifrht. Mr. T. A. Littlejohn
was master of ceremonies and he enjoyed
every detail of the proceedings
nuffely.
Mr. C. G. West has opened a five
and twenty-five cent store on Pacolet
street.

DEMOCRATS TO RETAIN
CONTROL OF CONGRESS
(Continued from page 1)
The senatorial fight in Kansas was
uncertain, according to early returns.
Charles Curtis, former Republican
senator, Congressman George a Neeley,
Democrat, and Representative
Victor Murdock, Progressive, engaged
in a spirited contest for the seat
of Joseph L. Bristow.
Senators reelected as the result of
hard battles were Frank B. Brandegee,
Republican, of Connecticut, opposed
by Gov. Simeon E. Baldwin; Albert
B. Cummins, Republican, of
Iowa, who defeated Representative
Maurice Connolly; John Walker
Smith, Democrat, of Maryland; William
J. Stone, Democrat, of Missouri;
Jacob H. Gallinger, Republican, New
Hampshire, who was opposed by Representative
E. B. Stevens.
Returns in Tennessee indicated that
Thomas C. Rye, Democratic candidate,
had been elected governor over
Ben W. Hooper, incumbent, the candidate
of the Fusion party.
Champ ClarK, speaKer 01 me nouse,
has been reelected by his home district
in Missouri.
William B. MeKinley, former chairman
of the Republican congressional
committee, apparently has been returned
to congress by his old district,
the Nineteenth Illinois, which rejected
him two years ago.
"Uncle Joe" Cannon, according to
early returns, has been reelected to
congress from Illinois.
Democratic senators in the South
were elected without difficulty, new
senators from Southern Statqf? chosen
being Representative Oscar W. I'nderwood
of Alabama and Representative
Thomas W. Hardwick of Georgia.
Former Gov. J. C. W. Beckham, Democrat.
of Kentucky was chosen for the
long term.
Francis E. McGovern, Republican,
was elected, according to early returns,
to succeed Eenator Stevenson.

The triumph of Former Speaker Joseph
G. Cannon, Republican, over
1_ m ?iT_: i.?A;
r raiiK i. u nair lur leprcsenvaxivc 111
the Eighteenth Illinois district seemed
certain on the early returns. (Idler
Illinois Republicans who were turned
out of the house in the last Democratic
landslide who will be returned
to congress are: William B. McKinley,
Charles E. Fuller and John A. Sterling.
Republicans also made pains in
New York, Oscar W. Swift defeating
Representatives James O'Brien in the
Ninth district; Rolin B. Sanford defeating
Representative Peter TenEyck;
Walter W. McGee succeeding
to the seat of Representative John R.
Clancy, while R. L. Haskell, Republican,
was elected in the Tenth district.
The defeat of Representative Cluis.
A. Korbley, Democrat, of Indiana by
Merril Moores also marked the general
trend of Republican gains in the
country.
Sereno E. Payne, Republican, of
New York, one of the oldest members
of the house in point of service, was
reelected without difficulty.
Election in State officers resulted
in a few turnovers. In 9New York
Gov. Glynn, the Democratic^suididatcj
for election, was defeated UWJlrnly
by District Attorney Whitman, Republican.
Frederick M. Favenport,
Progressive nominee, in support of
whose candidacy ex-President Roosevelt
devoted most of the campaign,
was left far in the rear, his vote being
exceeded by that of William Sulzer,
who was deposed as governor last
year.
In Tennessee also a change of party
control was indicated.
In Tennessee there also was a
change of party control, wlnn Gov.
Ben W. Hooper, the Republican incumbent,
was defeated by Thomas C.
Rvo. hnnincrat
In Pennsylvania, where occurred
one of the most spirited campaigns,
Martin G. Brumbaugh, Republican,
early took a long lead over Vance McCormick,
Democratic candidate, who
was indorsed by the Progressives.
In Ohio the race for governor between
James M. Cox, Democratic incumbent,
and Frank B. Willis, Republican,
was close with Gov. Cox in the
lead on early returns.
Defeat of woman suffrage in Missouri
and North Dakota was in iicated.
Meagre returns from California
showed Gov. Hiram W. Johnson, Progressive,
leading Fredericks, Republican,
and Curtin, Democrat, by slight
margin. The senatorial situation also
was in doubt, Representative Joseph
R. Knowland, Republican, James D.
Pholan, Democrat, and Francis J. Heney,
Progressive, all showing
strength.
In Ohio, the prohibition is i? was
uppermost. In Cleveland and Dayton
the "wets" were victorious by large
majorities.
