Cole l.. BiGase carried Union county
by majority of AZ votes. We have
felt for some time that BlcaSc would

supported him took every opportunity
to make it known. We oppose him
STILL We do not. believe the people Of
Union county would choose him over

joice that for one time the State and

REwARDING THE OLD SOLDIERS.

pleads that we "makc the old soldiers

on to show that they should be elected

more than we; there is no newspaper

1.-THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD" "


The Union Times directs the follow
ing query to The Advertiser: "What's $
the best thing in the world?" Already
The Times has put numerous difficult
questions to us, all of which have sorcIy
tested our mental capacity; but this
last is the limit. What is the best
thing in the world? Knows not The
Times that such question has ever
disturbed the mind of man? 1t is in
the category with "What is Il Demo
crat" and "What is Whiskcy," in so
far as its puzzling nature is concerned.
But, we will not be non n-plusscd.
Some years ago Elizabeth Barrett
Browning asked, "What is the best
thing in the world?" and answered her
own query with "Somcthing out of it,
| think" Her puZzlmg poem is com
mended to The Times for its pcrusal
whats the best thing in the world?
June roses by Maydcw impcarlcd;
Sweet south-wind that means no rain
Truth, not cruel to a friend;
Pleasure not in haste to end;
Beauty not self f-dcckcd and curlcd
Till it's pride is ovcr-plain
Light that never makes you wink
Memory, that gives no pain
Love, when, 50, you're loved again:
What's the best thing in the world;
Something out of it, think.
Will The Times accept the answer
contained in the above? Something out
of the world: those natural and spr-
itual forces that render life sweet, true
peasurable, enlightened, painless and
love-likc-thesc Mrs. Browning seems
to consider the total "forcc" that con-
stitutes "the best thing in the world. :"
And again, if our esteemed friend is
unsatisfied, we might sum up the
forces" of life in one something" "
There is a parallel of this in holy writ
where all the laws of life are combined
into one, namely: the command to love.
Then why not say Glove" is the great
est thing in the world? Know We of
aught that, in its last analysis, rests
not thereupon? Love set the myriad
of worlds in motion; love is the power
that keeps them in their spheres. Even
human love reaches to heights unat-
tainablc by the mind of man and to
depths his intellect cannot penetrate.
81 love thee, mark love thee!
In thy sight
| am transiigurcd, glorilicd Alright,
with conscience of the new rays that
proceed
Out of my face toward thine"
is an example of the wonderful power
of that matchlcss force" or "somc-
think" called love. And what is this
something" we call love? What about
this:
when a soul, by choice and conscience,
doth
Throw out her full force on another soul,
The conscience and the concentration
both
Make mere life, Love. For life in per
feet whole
And aim consummatcd, is Love in sooth,
AS natures magnet-hcat rounds pole
with pole
Love, then, is that force that blends
two souls into a perfect and sweet
whole, as a chord of music results in a
sweet and harmonious strain.
Then again, human love is the step
ping stone toward divine love. AS Mil
ton says: Love is the scale by
which to Heavenly Love thou mayst
ascend. " And Anne Proctor has this
along the same line
Love yours and mine,
Has been sent by Love more tender,
more complete, more Divine.
Ihat 1t leads our hearts to rest at last
The Laurens advertiser. (Laurens, S.C.) 1885-1973, 1908-09-09

have come under our observation where
the affairs of county and state have
suffered by this method Of rewarding
the Confederate soldiers valor. Office
holding is not fit recompense for the
deeds of the Southern soldiers, and the
practice of awarding them offices, re-
gardless of physical and mental ability,
has been detrimental to both the office
and the veteran. On the other hand
some of the most efficient officers in
recent years were wearers Of the gray;
we not only endorse but heartily advo-
cate the election of such. They prove
an honor to themselves and render val
liable service to the people.
But the practice Of electing men SIM
ply and solely on the grounds that they
bore arms in defense of the Southland
without regard to fitness and ability is
an erroneous conception of gratitude.
There are other methods of showing
our love for and appreciation of the
gallant men of the sixties, too much of
which cannot be demonstrated.

Mayor Wagnon, of Union, needs no
advice from us; but word of encour-
agement is not amiss. There is waging
in Union an unusual struggle between
the forces of lawlessness and adherence
to law; between corruption and civic
purity; between right and wrong. Mr..
Wagnon, fearless and energetic, is lead
ing the fight against crime and for the
uplift of his town. Are the people
standing by him? Are the public insti-
tutions endorsing his course; those who
are supposed to be on the side Of right?
The people of Union are facing a crisis
in their history. How are they meet
ing it? Regardless of support, other
than his inherent moral courage, Mayor
Wagnon has taken firm stand for
civic righteousness. His cause is right
and just; We earnestly wish him well.

"ESchew all conglomerations Of flatu-

is useless to use jaw breakers.

DO BETTER SEPARATED,
Teacher of Pedagogy Comes Out in Fa-
vor of Sex Segregation in
Glasses

MADISON, Wis. April l3.-l Special. ]
DR.. NJ. V. O'Shea, professor of science
and art of education in the state uni
versity advocated segregation of the
sexes in the current number of the Wis
consin Journal of Education. He de-
clares that in few years more the
public Will witness Il notable struggle
for Il change in the educational system.
lie says: without anticipating what
may be said later, it may be proper to
point out at this time, that there is II
rising tiue of criticism in this country
against our system of coeducation.
Physicians quite generally agree that
the girls should not be subjected to prac-
tically the same education as the boys,
at least after the high school period is
reached. Teachers beyond the ele-
mentary schools are beginning to feel
that they might succeed better with
their classes if there were not Il mixture
of sexes in them.
DIR. John Bascom of Boston. the vener-
able educator who was president of the
University of Wisconsin from 1874 10
1887. is opposed to the movement for sex
segregation in the classroom ut the uni
verslty. In Il letter to Il friend III Maul-
son the former president makes Il strong
plea against the proposed innovation. Il
feel sure" he says that tSose who in
their own experience have come fully
under coeducation, will not willingly
surrender any portion of its advantages
