He began to live magnificently. He had no idea until he came into his fortune how many friends he had. In a few years time he had spent his fortune and had accumulated considerable debts.

NOTES ON THE FIRST PRIMARY BR Frank King lucked only six votes "J of getting in the second race. er Did you note the vote polled by S. J. Sellers? Better keep your eye - on Sam. He looks like a winner. It is regretted that W. F. Stevenson, esq., failed of election to Conly * ^ gress. His home county did her duty *d by him by rolling up a heavy ma._ jority in his favor. >C Chernw's failure to give Odom and mm Hunley a larger vote was the subject of much comment by their friends. Tom Eddins received the heaviest < majority of any candidate in the county. Mr. Eddins is admittedly the most popular officer in the Courthouse. ^ County Chairman, M. J. Hough, ( esq., has done a lot of work during . the past few weeks getting out tick- j. ets, sending out boxes and instruc- ( tions and canvassing the votes. Mr. j Hough does not receive one cent for ( these services but perforins them, as ( do the primary election managers, as I. a service that a good Democrat owes ] to his party. ^ THE CROWNS MUST GO. 1 Henry Watterson, with his old-time vigor, writes of what will come to pass in Europe as the result of the ' present war: "It is the belief of the CourierJournal that there will not be a crowned head in Europe fifty years hence. The course of Democracy is onward and cannot be stayed. As surely as the Hohenzollern and the Hapsburg will be blown to atoms by the winds of a tempest of their own _ making, will autocracy in Russia and the remains of the right divine of ? kings in England be made to walk the plank into the waves of the Democratic ocean that already beat against the rotting old hulk of monarchy. The people of all lands will rise supreme. In the matter of personal sovereignty it may be said that, alike in kind, they differ only in degree. So, having stood aghast before murder done by the Germans in the Irish Sea, why should we not raise our voice in horror before murders done by the English in Ireland, premising I that "when Kaiserism is made to stand naked in Wilhelmstrasse before offended Deity, and royalty .stripped of crown and robes, is forced to kneel in the Tower of London to ask forgivenss of heaven, both may realize that the voice of the people is alone the voice of God?" President Wilson, with that farseeing gift of forecasting the future, says that "the United States will be the chief financial reliance of the J world after the war." His policy of , preparedness for what ever may hap- ; pen after the war is a most commendable policy and one that should be : ? adopted regardless of party politics. I THEY WERE BADLY SCARED r , When the bill to prevnt corrupt i practice in elections was introduced into Congress it caused fluttering ; . among Republican Senators. The bill passed the House and when introduc- i ed in the Senate, Mr. Owen, one of the Democratic leaders of that body, ! i said to the Republican Senators who < were trying to delay its passage, > "This matter can be disposed of in twi?nty-four hours, except a possible < : Republican filibuster, if they dare j 1 face the country with it." i Senator Owen, in further advocacy | of the bill said, "All that I want to i do is to put a stop to the buying of I elections in this country by private < citizens who are multimillionaires i I and who can spend millions of dol- i lars without feeling it." ^ THRIVING ALASKA Few people know much about Alaska, thinking of it only as Uncle Sam's ice house, but there's much to be said in favor of that country. Before Uncle Sam took Aalska, its main i inhabitants were the walrus and the < polar bear. But since Russia sold Alaska to us the commerce of the country hus wonderfully increased. Alaska's sales to the United States in the last fiscal year aggregated $50,000,000?double the annual average since 1912. The chief export was copper, which was valued at $20- , 500,(?00. Canned salmon amounted to $18,000,000; gold to $16,200,000. With the construction of the rail' road that Congress has authorized, it is likely that the trade with Alasku will be doubled. The building of this railroad is another of the great achievements of ^ the Democratic administration. Hetty Green was always looking ] out for Hetty. Kven as to her will she took the precaution to execute it in Vermont, where the inheritance 1 tax on her estate of $125,900,000 j wou) I be only $1,250. Had she p made the will at her home in New York the inheritance tax would have been $5,000,000. Up to the mouth of the grave Hetty was thrifty. But as was said of the millionaire, Russell Sage, she too, "wm a beggur at the gate of heaven."

The trustees of :he Burrough High School of this ,'ity are planning the construction of i four-room addition to the present >uilding in order to meet the demands jf the increased enrollment and to furnish physical accommodations for :he teacher-training class which was established in eonnertion with this school some weeks ago by the State Board of Education. The addition will consist of a brick extension of the presnt building and will be erectx'd at a cost of approximately $4,000. To finance this proposition the district to-day voted an additional levey of three mills to liquidate the debt within the next three or four years. The issue was carried overwhelmingly, the vote being 00 to 4 in favor of the levy. This was the largest vote ever polled on a school issue in the district, which shows that the patrons of the school are intensely intersted in its material prepress and that they 3tand as a unit when it comes to school matters. The contract for the addition ' will he let within a few days. j The establishment of a teachertraining course in conjunction with the Conway school will mean much, both for the school and the community, since it means that the Bur- 1 roughs school graduates will he within easy access of such a course and , that the teachers of this and adjoin- I inpr counties may have the opportun- ' it.v of better preparing themselves for their profession. The establishment of such a school at Conway will mean that all persons above the age of 17 in Horry, Georgetown, Marion, Dillon, Florence, Williamsburg and nearby counties who intend to teach can avail themselves of this school free of charge. They will not only be per nutted to pursue this course but any I other of the courses offered by the { Conway school. It is understood that more than 40 teachers have signified their intention of attending the teacher-training course this year. The Burroughs High School will i open Monday, September 18, at 'J u. m. for the fall session. Quite a I number of pupils from the rural schools in the county have signified their intention of attending this school and it is expected that the opening will be a record-breaker. The fact that the taxpayers of this district have voted and carried almost unanimously three successive levies, aggregating seven mills, within the past two years not only shows their determination to make the Burroughs High School second to none in the State, but also shows the popularity of the school in the community. Conway is a town about the size of Chesterfield, with similiar needs and resources. Their school enrollment is a little smaller. The New Teacher-Training Department, it is estimated, will bring into the town about $9,000 from the stulents enrolled. Good business is it ! not to spend $4,000 for one year and I i*et in return $9,000 a year for many years to come, besides giving the rising generation advantages that cannot be measured in money? The only thing that prevnts Chesterfield from applying to the State for a similar school is lack of room. Can the progressive and intelligent people of Chesterfield afford to let their children fall behind in the advantages offered to their children? W. P. Coker, Supt. Chesterfield High School.

The relief Tanlac pave Mrs. Benton was remarkable, Mrs. Knowles said. Her statement, describing Mrs. Benton's ailments and the results Tanlae gave her, follows: "My daughter, Mrs. Bessie Benton, suffered from what was said to be a severe case of pellagra. She was treated by specialists here, and had taken pellagra treatments, but she got no better while doing so. She did not eat anything at all, and 1 do not see how she lived, she at so little. Her stomach was in very bad shape, and nu\ny a day she did not eat over three or four bites during the day. "She was run down terribly, had no strength and felt badly all the time. Her head hurt all the time, and she was never easy, her head ached so much. Her nerves were sc bad that you could see her shake. "We read about Tanlac, and she decided to buy it.

"I am glad to recommend Tanlac and so is she, for she told me sht intended writing a testimonial anc sending it to the Stnte agent. 1 know it is tine, for I know what ii did for Bessie.

I was not able to do any thing for nearly six months," writes Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, "and was down in bed for three months. 1 cannot tell you how I suffered with my head, and with nervousness and womanly troubles. Our family doctor told my husband he could not do me any good, and he trad to give it up. We tried another doctor, but he did not help me. At last, my mother advised me to take Lardui, the woman's tonic. I thought it was no use for I was nearly dead and nothing seemed to do me any good. But f took eleven bottles, and now I am able to do all of my work and my own washing. I think Cardui is the best medicine io the world. My weight has increased, and I look the picture of health.
