the finals would be repetition of
those Of 1913 when Mclaughlin found
Williams his only opponent for! the
title and defeated him.
The feature match today, that be-

disappointing. Behr proved upusu-

A CHANGE IS NEEDED

Now that the primary is In a great
measure over, and what we shall say
Will not be garbled, distorted or mis-
understood. we wish to call attention
10 one weakness OF the system. 1t
appears that just anybody can run
for office.
No matter how vile his character,
how deprayed his life, how morbid or
sordid mis- mentelity. No matter how
low his station in the scale OF respcc-
tibility, lie can run for office. And
some have been elected Men 10 whom
truth is nightmare and to whom
virtue is a horrid dream can get out
rs hireiings to injure men of honor
and probity.
We must have the primary rules
amended SO that no mar may offer
for Office unless iIe can secuse a pc
tition signed by certain percentage
OF the people qualified to vote for the
Office for which he seeks.
Men become candidates who seek
merely To blackguard and to defame
others. They seek nothing, they rep
resent nothing. But when the party
pei .nits them to become candidates.
they are given certain prestige which
as individuals they have not.
They are permitted to go out and
utter falsehoods about good men
These libels cannot be answered--fo
man with self respect cannot stoop
TO the level OF such creatures. But
the lie sticks and hurts. no matter
how vile the source whence It issues
We distinctly have no reference to
Massrs Jennings and Pollock, who
are honorable men, nor are we refer
ring 10 any particular person. Blu.

COMMERCIAL. SCHOOLS

A report issued by the Federal Blu
reau of Education shows that there
are three commercial schools and bus
mess colleges in South Carolina.

employed in South Carolina business
institutions.

business colleges and commercial
schools. and they accommodate 1so,557
students annually. This ia an average

Some OF the so-called commercial
schools are fakes. nothing but fakes.
but In Anderson the Cecil school Is
conducted by Christian gentlemen,
and the institution Is an asset to the
community.

I herewith enclose you copy OF our
letter OF instructions Co our rental
agents covering all cotton produced
by the Southern P,wer Co., and its af-
Inflated interests. We have given a
great deal OF thought to this matter
and can see no relief in sight except
by the united efforts on the part of
all and strict cooperation between ev-
eryone in order to keep our cotton
crop from being sold below cost.
We believe that If everyone will con-
tribute little to help In the situation,
1t will soon relieve the matter.

WHAT DEUTERONOMY SAYS

Senator Tillman might have shown
poor taste in twitting Governor Blease.
We do not admire the spirit that
would rnh salt In wounds, even
though that be done in reciprocal
manner. But the Senator's joke was
quite keen at that Here is Deuteron-
omy 2S:15, to which the senator refer
red:
But Jeshurun waxed fat and
wicked; thou are waxen fat, thou
art grown thick; thou are cover
ed with fatness; then he forsook
God, which made him and light
iy esteemed the Rock OF His SAL
vation"
The senator must have been hunt
ing for that passage quite awhile
