If this were not the ca.e thtre would he no danger whatever of his election to the United States Senate. It is the support of Stood but misguided men who make a demogogue dangerous in a democratic country. But we must confess we cannot see how anyone can be misguided as to Mr. Blease. We heard him only once, two years ago. That speech forever branded him as far as this editor is concerned, as an insincere and indecent man, unworthy of the trusi of decent men. He has not improved since then, but if possible has grown worse. Underestimating the quality cf South Carolinians, he has presumed to gain favor with them by denouncing his president and his country at a time and under circumstances as almost to merit the term treason What does it matte.* if he has found the people are not with him and turn about face and begins to spout patriotism? It is possible to vote .or a man for the United States Senate who,, record is clean and whose patriotism 's unquestioned. In tne name of our brave boys who are fignting for freedom we apt eal to our readers who have been in some manner misguided by the political tricks of Mr. Blease to take their cue for his conduct and right about face. Go to the polls and vote for Dial and decency; then go home with a clean conscience and a clean heart. THE LATEST BOLL WEEVIL REMEDY Experiments are bemg tnau? upon a new method for the extermination of the boll weevil in Louisiana, Arkansas and Mississippi and it ::s claimed that the control of the cotton boll weevil will soon be an actual a i? i > MVV. (M/KIUII nan ucuii prepared that when sprayed over the cotton will annihilate the boll weevil, kill him "dead as Hector." Hector, it will be remembered, has been dead a long time and if all the boll weevis can be sent to join him great will be the rejoicing in Dixie.. It is said the gentlemen whoarejconducting these experi^ _^^--JUU"ts"lTave not frrtisfiecT-their work, but after three years of exprimGnfing are satisfied that they have found the right method for controlling the pest. The fact that the Agricultural department at Washington is taking an interest in the matter would indicate that there is something in this remedy that will put a quietus upon the groat enemy of cotton. In behalf of the great army of cotton raisers The Advertiser earnestly hopes that this miserable bug that came over from Mexico in 1893 may be completely and eternally annihilated and that neither hi nor any of his kin may ever dare to invade the relm of King Cotton. SHfc 15 A FARMER ALL RIGHT The best crop of wheat raised in McDufFie county, Georgia, is credited to a woman farmer, and. by the way, she is very properly named, Mrs. Farmer. She has several farms of her own and this year has made a specialty of wheat, leading all the farmers in the county as a wheat raiser. WORRYING THE KAISER One of the encouraging features of the fighting in Europe is the tone of the German papers. They were quite boastful when the Kaiser's generals were preparing their late offensive. Their recent utterances as cabled to this country partake of the "Gloomy Gus" style. One of them said the Americans had brought more men and brought them faster than could have been expected. Another German paper says "France is still very strong and that the English army has been reconstructed and put into a perfect state." Still another paper blames German deserters for revealing the plans of the German military leaders, making use of their knowledge to betray their , country. All of which must he very sad reading for the Kaiser but cheer- , ing to the Allies. ., To add to the Kaiser's discomfort i Editor Maximilian Harden is calling ] A upon his government to give up Bel- 1 gium. He is quoted as saying: "In1 ternational law forbids Germany to retain even one pebble of Belgium | Streets and commands Germany to i restore Belgium to the conditions be- ] fore the invasion. This is a question i of decency, morality and honor of a I nation." Harden had better go slow ] ,? or he may share the fate of that other 1 Maximilian, who was shot in Mexico. < ? . i H?p. J. Thomas Heflin, of Alabama' <je delivered a speech at Birmingham at th the laying of the corner stone of the new federal building in that eity. Ha said a great many good things, as he cr always does, when he makes a public W1 address. , T. er Referring to th6 fact that the Kai- ha ser had ridiculed the Americans, saying they would not fight, Mr. Heflin told this story: re "Old Uncle Refus used to say. "De ev th rooster never could get no sense in de fox's hade until he looked way off yander and craned his neck. And 8 den de fox say, 'What are you look mg air ana ae rooster says, *1 ain't "" looking at nothing but a pack of dogs.' 'Which way is dey goin'.' said In de fox, and de rooster said, "Dey ain't er goin', dey are comin'.' " So it was with the Kaiser. We could not get cc any sense in his head until one day m he said, "At what are the British soldiers looking? They are gazing in- ei tently at the west." And the answer n' came, "It is the United States in arms." And then the Kaiser said, a "What means this renewed activity on the battle front in France and this J"' great enthusiasm among the French soldiers, and what is it that causes them to look so eagerly to the west?" Then with united voices the French ? soldiers said, "It is the United States ? in arms." "Which way are they going?" said the Kaiser, and then the n soldiers, descended from the men who v t fought with Washington at Valley Forge in achieving American liberty, s said, "They are not going, thank God: they are coming." v HOW OUR BOYS FEEL ABOUT IT f b The following communication with ^ the accompanying editorial from the g New York Herald has been received t hv Th?> Stnti?* To the Editor of The State: v Am inclosing an editorial clipped ^ from the New York Herald on "Cole ^ Blease." It makes us South Caro- t lina boys blush with shame to see the c proud name of our dear old State a dragged down in the dust by such a ^ man as Blease. We are going forth b to battle, and are willing to sacrifice 1 out lives if necessary in order that n the world might be safe for demo- r | cracy. We appeal to the voters of f South Carolina to turn out on election day and defeat Blease and save | the fair name of the greatest State in the Union. _ o South Carolina boys in Camp 3 Mills, N. Y. t "Cole Bleaie" l New York Herald: . ; Once more the nation faces the v possibility of the disgrace of having / Cole Blease in the senate. The for- _ mer governor of South Carolina, of notorious fame, is one of three candidates for the long term nomination at the Democratic primaries to be held August 26. Blease is the extreme type of the obnoxious demagogue which has come into power since Reconstruction days in various parts of the South. Ben Tillman said of him ; "Catiline among the Romans and Aaron Burr J among the Americans are the only i other men I have read of who were j equal to Blease^in bamboozling the people.*^"" TiUfnan's co'mp'ffrraOn does a serious injustice to these noted men. ? There is nothing in the careers of Catiline and Burr to indicate that had they been in Blease's place they would have sought to win votes by a wholesale pardoning of murderers, burglars and cutthroats, by appealing to the lowest passions of "nigger haters," by attacking the judicial and educational system of his State, by undermining the National Guard. We truest that the voters of South Carolina will bear in mind that the senate is a national body; and if this demagogue is elected the nation will share their disgrace. Surely there could be no greater folly than to select a man for the nation's service who has not hesitated to express in profane language his contempt for trie constitution: in mis nour ot 11 peril there is crying need at Washington for men of intellect and force. The people of the country will not lightly forgive South Carolina if at such time she gives us Cole Blcase. TRY IT SUBSTITUTE FOR NASTY CALOMEL Starts your liver without making you aick and cannot aalivate Every druggist in town?your druggist and everybody's druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason. Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place. "Calomel is dangerous <(nd people know it, while Dodson's Liver Tone it perfectly safe and give better re- i suits," said a prominent local drug- * gist. Dodson's Liver Tone is personallv onaranteed hv pvprv Hrncroriiif I ^ ? _ + ~ * ?- j "- -r?n who sells it. A large bottle costs but a few cents, and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask for your money back. Dodson's Liver Tone is a pleasanttasting, purely vegetable remedy, harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe or cause in- _ convenience all the next day like vio- J lent calomel. Take a dose of calomel today and tomorrow you will feel weak, sick and nauseated. Don't lose a day's work!

Hundreds of field pieces and thousands of machine guns are falling into the hands of General Foch as the French and r Americans incessantly harry the Gar- v nans who are retiring toward the chord of the salient, which was like a bow bent as far as it would stretch ; when the Germans crossed the Mnrne ? in the fifth phase of their offensive. c That salient is now like a bow half re- ^ laxed. The Allies have crossed the Ourcq west of Fere-cn-Tardpnois and their van has penetrated that town, ( which was of so much strategic importance to the Germans. r Southeast of Fere the line of the Allies now runs through Courmont, j Champvoisy, and Passy to Chaumuzy, on the east side of the salient, where ^ French and British forces are operating in the direction of Fismes, mid- < way between Rheims and Soissons. , Within forty-eight hours, therefore, , the Allies in the south of the salient , have driven forward from three to seven miles. This is a notable , achievement, even if the enemy is fighting rearguard actions, for jnuch of the line of advance north of the Marne lay through dense forests ! adapted to the most stubborn defense, j In such terrain it is only intrepid I and well-led troops that gain ground. I But the French and Americans have done more than gain ground, they have kept the enemy on the move and allowed him no rest. Prisoners in great numbers have been taken, but we must be prepared to hear of heavy casualties in the ranks of the assailants. North of Fere there is bitter work to be done, as the country for some ! distance is well wooded. A railway leading to Fismes is behind the G.rmans as they retreat, and they have the use of two excellent highways, one running to Braisne and the other into Fismes. Also on the eastern side of the salient they are well serv ed, with one railway and at least three excellent highways. These conditions make it doubtful whether there is any truth in the report that the enemy is a prey to panic. It is more likely that his main body is fulling back in fairly good order, although' he seems to have no alternative but to give way before the advance of the .VIlieu If the Germans could have hold Fere-on-Tardonois they would never have budded from it, for roads radiate in every direction like the spokes of a wheel. General Foch is still beatin g them, and they know that his advance cannot be held until they take up a strong defensive position. The presumption is that they have decided to give battle on the line of the river Vesle. In that case, there will be heavy lighting in the neighborhood of Braisne and Fisntes when the Allies reach the river. Back of the i Vesle some seven miles flows the Aisne, a larger stream. No doubt the Germans are preparing positions for a more determined stand there. Unless new divisions from the north are thrown into the defensive fight they are making, further disaster seems to be in store for them. This may fairly be inferred from the speed with whfch the Allies are driving ahead. A late bulletin reports them threaten' ing Ville-en-Tardenois, or physically in possession of it.?New York Times.

S. Richardson, the widely known I ^ nsurance manager of 800 E. Water ^ >t., Elmira, N.

' Being interested in others, Mr. * Richardson recently told how he re- ' lewed his activity that had been im- ' paired by unusual' suffering. 1 "I believe," he said, "that I suf- '1 fered about as much as it is possible ^ for anyone to suffer with stomach trouble. I had it in the worst form. I . * would wake up every morning after J a restless night, and my stomach ] would feel as if something was knaw- J ing at it and actually trying to pull 1 it apart. "1 was hungry all the time with a ' peculiar feeling, but the minute any-! thing reached my stomach it turned into a sour lump. Then I was ?:c for nothing. I had to have a couch in ' my office and often during the day I ' would have to lie down when my ' spells of suffering came on. , "When Tanlac was introduced here I had confidence in it at once because I had confidence in the company that made it. A medicine they put out years ago added ten years to my mother's life. Now, I am confident Tanlac has done ihe same for me. I have gained eight pounds on four bottles of Tanlac and feel like living again. Stomach trouble is gone, of course, or I could not have built up. that way so quick."
