Quiet Election, Auction Sale OF
Land a Failure. B. Y. P. u.
Prospering. Will Pay
Church Debt.

The Augusta fair attracted
number of visitors from our town
this week. Mr.. J. w. Blackwell,
one of the visitors, reports the at
tendance good and the exhibits bet
ter than those of former years.
The election passed off quietly,
and failed to stimulate the interest
that the primary did, but all are re-
ioicing over the election of Wilson.
With the new Chinese republic
firmly established, with the proba,
bility that the Ottoman capital WILL
be forced beyond the Bosphorus,
with Woodrow Wilson in the White
House, do we not feel like exclalm-
ing, ''The world is marching to
better thingsp' and we can but hope
that South Carolina will soon get
in line.
These dull hard times struck the
big auction land sale hard as 1t has
everything else. They failed to sell
even a single tract of their land.
The band played, and the little ne
gro danced, but the auctioneer could
not get the people to dance.
Mr.. Jasper White is circulating
o petition for a railroad crossing on
the north end of town near the GIN
merry. 1t is badly needed, for just
one crossing for the entire town OF
Plum Branch is not sufficient.
The G. 6 W. G. railroad compa-
ny is treating its depot here to some
needed improvements. a new floor
and a new roof thus far, and l do
not know what else is to follow.
The friends of MIR. J.. B. Adams
will be glad to know that he has re-
covered from his recent sickness.
Mr.. Ellison Miller has been spend

ter, Mrs. 3. D. Kitchings.

i Prof. Fowler's mother stopped

GIVE US MEN!

~
A great writer has said
God give us menl time like this demands
Strong minds great hearts, true faith and ready
hands;
Men whom the lust of office does not kill;
Men whom the spoils of Office cannot buy;
Men who possess opinions and Will;
Men who have honor-and will not lie"
Under existing conditions the above words OF
Mr.. J. G. Holland timely For instance,
few years ago Mr. Albert A. Law became a can
didate for county attorney and secured the nomna-
ton over a gentleman who had served but one
term The nomination of Mr.. Law made unani-
nous and the defeated candidate went out in sup
port Of Mr. Law and assisted in his election. Later
on Governor John c. Cutler defeated by an
other gentleman after having served but one term,
but Mr.. Cutler likewise went out and supported the
ticket and assisted in the election Of the man who
had defeated him in the convention.
few days ago in Weber county Mr.. Alma
Chambers defeated in the nomination for Coun
ty Treasurer before the Weber county Republican
convention, and just few days after the Bull
Moose convention nominated this same Mr.. Cham
bers for the office, that of county treasurer
but what did Mr. Chambers do? To his everlast
ing credit he Immediately served notice upon the
Bull Moosers that he not candidate for any
thing within their realm. What is the conclusion
drawn from the action of such men, Hon. j. e.
Walters, whom A. A. defeated Hon. John c.
Cutler, whom governor Spry defeated, and Hon.
Alma Chambers, whom else defeated?
Are they not with strong minds great hearts,
true faith and ready hands" Are they not men
who possess opinions AND A WILL?" Are they
not men who have honor" are they not consistent
honest men, who credit to IA community?
Then what about the other side. In this en-
lightened county of Cache be 1t said to our shame
the reverse condition prevails. gentleman
who is now serving his first term was recently
defeated for denomination, and after moving to
make the nomination Of the victor unanimous, goes
out and seeks a nomination another ticket
Can it be said that such an is man Of Strong
mind, great heart true faith and ready hands?"
Can it be said that such man possesses opinions
AND A WILL Can It be said that such man
possesses honor" Or rather 1t not more truth
fully be said that under such conditions, Wrong
rules the land and waiting Justice sleeps"

TAFT'S GROWING
STRENGTH.

No with the power of intelligent observation
can fail TO note the strong undercurrent of senti-
ment in favor of the Republican candidate for pres.
ident. This movement is not detected in the har-
angues of the street corner orator. the street
politician or the STRAW vote" specialist. But it is
manifest among thoughtful people who feel
of responsibility in the exercise Of the elective fran
chse. Thinking not a rule the noisy
The thinking workngman is the man with
a job who consults his own best interests in polt-
les without reference the Socialist the agita-
tor. The thinking mechanic business man brings
his intelligence to bear the problems of the
day without being influenced by the clatter of those
who want change" every chance they get.
The thoughtful man knows that in the event of
Wilson's election there will be tarim revolution
Wilson has been outspoken favor of virtual free
trade The day after the election, II Wilson is sue
cessful the mills, factories and great Industrial in
situations of the country will begin a program OF
curtalment. They will retrench their output
and on their expenses until they find out exactly
what tariff changes to be made under Demo
cratic administration. And as these changes can
not be made for months, the of restricted in
dustrial operations will be prolonged indefinitely.
This would mean that millions OF men would be
thrown out of employment, that bank reserves would
be reduced by withdrawn deposits and that all bust
ness would be affected. The chief asset OF the
Republican party that in the sixteen consecutive
years OF its rule prosperity has steadily advanced
making allowance for Mr.. Roosevelt's panic in
1907 1t is idle for the opponents Of Republican
ism to attribute this uniform prosperity to good
crops and natural conditions. Even good crops
are OF advantage to the farmer without good
prices, and good prices are dependent upon home
consumption under tariff policy that gives EN-.
poyment and wages to American workngmen.
The American people do not want any change
that would mean less employment for the working
mel, less demand for the products OF the farm and
general industrial stagnetion. Let we'll enough
