w>cond-cl**B roattei^n^^^P \ %? "" " Rt Chesterfield, South Carolina.) 1 PAt'L. II. 1IEARN ) Editor and Publlnher. < f. W? Tlannn, authorized representative. The Columbia State's paragraphs are short and sharp and sticks like pins. What has become of those muzzles the Chesterfield dogs 1 were to begiu wearing on October 1st? Here's a bitter dose for you. Quinine that usually sells at :!0 cents an ounce has gone up 500 per cent. You that have chills to shake prepare to shake tlieni now. f i If it is allowable to make a pun on the European war, permit us to say the Russians don't seem to rush; the Balkans do some balking and Greece needs greasing. Alabama has passed a compulsory education law requiring chil- < dren from 8 to 15 years of age to ' attend school at least s0 days in l year. That is not much, but one- ' fourth of a loaf, as in this case is ( better than no bread. The Augusta Chronicle is one of Georgia's biggest and best daily papers and it covers the news and politics of this State ] so completely that it is a good 1 South Carolina paper also. Its editorials ring true. As an ad- ! vocate of law and order it is firm 1 aud uncompromising. 1 There are three Democratic candidates in Tennessee for the United States Senate* Luke Lea, the present Senator; Congress- , man M. D. MeKollar and former Governor Malcomb R. Patterson. The latter is now an ardent pro ( liibitionist, luiviLg been couver- j ted from his love of ardent spirits i and whiskey polities. A Kentucky paper says that in ' some counties in that state they are manufacturing a drink called i VOld Hen". It is said to be so I strong it will make a Democrat I vote the Republican ticket. The j drink is not called ''Old lien" i for Marse Henry Watterson, you 1 may be sure of that. There is i no moonshine or other drink t that would make the great Ken- t tucky editor vote the Republican ' ticket. i Hie decision to retain the duty 2 on sugar is another one of the 1 wise things the Wilson adminis- ; tration has determine^ .upon. \ The tariff on sugar m a revenue measure and w. need the reve- t nue. Sugar duties bring in tif- 1 tv million dollars yearly. And ] 'then Louisiana sugar growers 1 will not leave the Democratic , party and go off after Toddy and his little Progressive Party. 1 Sugar growers are happy and ( contented. Everything is lovely and the goose hangs high. I We cannot see whv Mr < Hearst's papers are so violently opposing the Anglo-French loan. To our miud it is one of the greatest boons the war has brought to this country. 'Ihe loan of $500,000,000 is n?>t so much a benefit to the lenders of the money as it is to the v< untry at larg( . The loan is to enable England and France to buy our cotton, our moat, wheat and other articles. The money is to be spent in this country for these things. The loan is one of the gieatest helps to our farmers a and manufacturers that could be devised. As the St. Louis Up- j publican well says: "If tlie cred- t it of England and France are < permitted to be destroyed it will t mean the ruin of American agriculture-" The loan is about completed so there is not much s sense in kicking about it any- B way, but when we remember \ the vast amount of this loan re- | mains in this country it is hard I to conceive how any American f could o'oj^ct to it. Hut the ob t jectors says It makes us help ; keep the war going. All of ; which is absurb. The war will , go on until the nations dc- m cidetoquit and our refusal of vi the loan would only hurt us by 1 losing a great market for the /ale 5 of our products. / ^ i b^* i H\JBp Em & la jf h:J SI **- ?\^tf n xV tfl SUPERVISION OF ROAD VVORI Suggestion Made by American Higt way Association and National i Civil Service Reform League. A concerted movement for skllle supervision of road work throughou tlio United States has been launche by the American Highway assoeiatio and the National Civil Service Reforr league. These two great organization or the ^^^^^Witeone who does not Rpeud alone upon his own strength. Upon a recent occasion when there were questions to he decided by the President and his eabiuet he fell upon his knee i I led the cabinet in prayer, saying as he knelt iu their presence! "Let us pray and ask the help of God." Happy is the Country with such a leader. SOME LEGS American manufactories are great gainers by the European war along various lines, but who would have imagined that the manufacture of artificial legs in this country would get such a wonderful boom? It is stated that one hundred and fifty artificial legs per week a?*e being made for the British and French governments. This is line for manufacturers, but thinlc or the sufieriug of the poor fellow whose leg is shot ofT and whose loss is America's gain. The total pontract for artificial legs award 3d by the British and French governments amounts to fifteen million dollars. The "Man Factory" At Florence, S. 0. A "Man Factory" is beinp -nci'ossfuly run By the State ol South Carolina. This "in?- aeLory" takes boys who hu\ mitted crimes or who are livmg in had surroundings or who arc imiuly ana makes men out ol them as far as it is possible to lo s.) by education and training, llie State has provided this place to try to keep boys froti. becoming criminals and i'roni growing up into ignorant and vicious nion. The State's "man factory" is called the South (Jarilina Industrial School. It. is located just outside 'lie city limits of Florence. The school is located on a farm of over a hundred acres 1'h's farm is cultivated by the boys in the school when they are not in the classrooms or playing. Some of the boys are taught the tailoring trade, and plans are on foot to teach other trades. Kight now the school needs more land in order that it may raise more supplies to feed the boys and contribute to its support, buck jf money has prevented the development ol the "man lactory" Uoug these industrial lines. All the money appropriated by tin. Slate for it was needed to feed in*. ?);<m n. v o it .... i * - i i 1?U ? rv_? -ji/jo 111 II.
