VOTE FOR THE MAN WHOSE PATRIOTISM HAS NEVER BEEN QUESTIONED The political waters were considerably muddied last Sunday when ExSenator McLaurin, candidate for Governor, published a letter charging Blease with having planned a bolt from the party in 1916. McLaurin has been classed until lately as a "uieasiie, ana so, on me taco oi it, things are getting not only rather warm, but a bit complicated. For the plain voter who wishes to vote right The State sums up the situation well; "The Democrats of South Carolina have the opportunity to support for all the public officers men against whose loyalty to the Demacrtic party no accusations have been brought by anybody; about whose loyalty to the Democratic party no questions have been asked by anybody." It is our duty at this time to pick the cleanest and most consistently loyal man for each office and vote for that man. THE WORLD WAR Under the above title Rev. Dr. H. C.Morrison, President of Asbury (Ky) University, writes for the Pentacostal Herald, one of the ablest and most conclusive editorials on the war thai has been published in any newspaper It is such an article as the readers of The Advertiser will appreciate and we present it to them with the hope that all who read it will be impressed as we have been with its truth and it eloquence. "People are asking on every side, when will the war close, and what will the issue be? Will final triumph come to the Central Powers, or to ?-? vnw iMiivo. i tvy ficiauiid wuuiu presume to answer the first question. When Earl Kitchner said the war will last three years, people generally, thought that his prophecy was incorrect; that it would end in a much shorter time. It will soon be four years since the first shot in this awful war was fired. There is every indication that five years will pass before we can hope to see peace. Of course, in these times of sudden and marvellous changes, no one can tell what a day will bring forth. "It is, and always will be, to the everlasting credit of the Allied nations that they were utterly unprepared for this war. They did not want war, and had made no preparation looking to such terrific strife. The French, the English, the Italians, and the United States were without armies, arms or ammunition of any sort in comparison with their stealthy and crafty foe who had been preparing for almost hulf a century for the present struggle. England had a sparse two hundred thousand trained soldier. She had to build the factories, and prather the raw material for manufacturing firearms, ammunition, and (rather from the ends of the earth means for land transportation. She had to prepare for war after the storm of war broke upon her. She is now (retting herself in condition to strike her heaviest blow. "When Germany commenced her slaughter of American citizens, and drove these United States to war apainst her, the timber to make stocks for her rifle puns was growing in preen trees in walnut proves. The (Treat pines, firs, and oaks, with which she is buildinp her ships were prowinp amidst the vast forests of the country far from our seaports. The iron to make our puns and ammunition was sleepinp silently in its crude state in mountain sides. The younp men out of which our preat army is beinp built, were followinp peaceful pursuits of industry, or seekinp mental development in our schools and collepes. Our Government has accomplished marvels durinp the few n.onths we have been at war. "A little more than a year apo our people were earnestly hopinp to keep out of this preat conflict. When it was forced upon us the task was BOmethinc nnnttllirwr ? n Kl "Ul- UIC llHllon has addressed herself to it with a splendid heroism and tireless perseverance. If the war should continue until the beginning of next summer it will find the United States splendidly prepared for the conflict. She will have a vast army on the battlefield of Europe, and another splendid army in this country well-advanced in preparation. She will have ships sufficient to well nigh bridge the ocean. She will have gathered up her forces, concentrated her powers, , and be prepared to deliver most terrific blows in the history of human conflict. "If the war lasts until the summer of 1919?and it now looks aa if it MMMHla would?? may expect that the Al- A lies will be prepared at last to meet their foe with masses of troops, numbers of heavy guns, and a multitude of airships hitherto entirely unknown in the history of this bloody con- c< tlict. We have not a doubt not a fear eI but that Anally victory will perch upon the banner of our Allies. We do not believe that there has ever gone ol to the field of battle an army superior in physical strength, moral and w mental equipment, the equal of the m mighty host of American manhood ?4 that has ever crossed, and is now A crossing the ocean to take their part on the sanguine fields of France. f? They are brave and true. They know al what they are fighting for Soon we bi may expect to get the reports of thou- aI sands of our American soldiers slain and wounded in battle. Let us gird dj and brace our selves for the worst. m Let us be calm and courageous, what- '3 ever comes. Let us pray to God for G His Divine mercy upon our poor suffering world, and look forward with C1 hope to the time when the war clouds n< shall have passed, and the sun shall ^ again shine in peace." tfc ________ tc There is not much difference in ^ actual effect between an American needlessly consuming materials needed by the Nation and a German sinking such materials at sea. al ? p!

COKER ? The Charleston News and Courier: There are few men whose death at <1 SI could cause the feeling of sub- a .- tantial loss which comes with the announcement that Major James Lide Coker, of Hartsville, has passed away. s< Before the War Between the States c Major Coker had started on his career and had mapped out his life ii work; having taken a special course " at Harvard University with a view to fitting himself for scientific farming- } The story of Major Coker's iifework is an epitome of the reconstruo- ^ lion of the South following the Civil War. A veteran of that struggle, he returned to his plantation at its close, e -o go for the rest of his life on . rutches and to find the foundations which he had laid at its beginning n swept away. By his ability, his for-itude, his industry he relaid those r foundations more broadly than ever, ind not only prospered greatly him- = self, but assisted all about him to do so also. For years the community c which he did so much to build has oeen the shining example of its kind .n the South. There are two striking things about Major Coker's business career. The v first is the scope on which he operated. He was always far in advance 8 of the procession. He owed his sue- *cess to his gift of seeing ahead and ^ .o his confidence in the vision which ? he saw. He and his sons have done " more than any others for the ad- u vancement of scientific agriculture in 1 ihis section. He was a big merchant *at a country cross roads. He was a J uanKer una Dunuer ana manuiactur- a er who did not wait for opportunity v Put made opportunity for himself.The = second thing is that he did all this in a time when the South was still bankrupt, building up a large fortune for ihe part of the country in which he lived, and yet with it all retained the confidence, the respect and the affection not only of his neighbors but of all with whom he did business, white and black. We do not believe that any one ever heard Major. Coker's integrity questioned. He was recognized far and wide as an honest and a just man. In his latter years a great part of Major Coker's thought and effort and means were devoted to the establishment and upbuilding of Coker College. In this institution he has left a noble monument to his memory. It was the pride and joy of his heart and he has Dla< d it on so secure a I footing that it .should grow and prosper with the years and become in steadily increasing measure an instrument for the advancement of culture and high ideals in Eastern Caro- = lina of the kind he designed it to prove. Major Coker loved his State with deep affection and he loved especially the Peedee. In such leisure as he was able to seize from a busy life he did much to rescue and preserve its history and traditions; and in his own useful activities on many lines he contributed splendidly to maintains the record of its great citizens. In his death South Carolina has lost her foremost philanthropist and a man whose worth and usefulness i should prove a lasting inspiration.
