THE RECALL.

Last w>ek, in Beaufort, after q
great deal of noise and considerably
r.ore Of bitterness, an election was
had on the question of recalling the
mayor and councilman of that city.
Each side accused the other of un-
fair methods, and of trying to carry
the election by means of the negro
vote.
The result was in favor of the
present ofice-holders and by the
vote of the white men, as it should
have been. We say that without
reference to the men or the issues
involved, because we know nothing of
either. We only know that the re-
call is nostrum prepared by some
Of our latter day political saints, who
live by agitation, and who can only
live in that way.
We have enough of politics and
elections without referendums and re-
calls. We got along something like
hundred years pretty well. But
Bryan and Roosevelt seem to think
that the whole thing has been fail
ure, and they have been busy with
remedies for the diseases of the body
polite for these twenty years, and
with what results?
When man is elected to Office, he
is entitled to serve for the term
fixed by law; if he may be recalled
for any or every vote. or act, upon a
public measure, his independence is
gone and he becomes a political
weather-vane. The right to recall
encourages men to vote for poor
men, believing that they may be got
ten rid of if they prove unworthy.
1t hampers good men in their efforts
10 promote the public interest, which
oftentimes is not what the public at
the time wants. If community
elects poor man to Office, or a bad
man, it should be forced to put up
with him until the end of the term
in order that another such officer may
not be elected. If good man is
elected, he is entitled to be let alone.

A BROADSIDE.

In discussion of the rights and
wrongs of the war a few days ago
between Col. w. w. Bradley and Col.
J. D. Kerr, we thought that the for.
mer was about to get the better of
the argument, Ito our satisfaction, }
until the latter delivered himselg of
these few thoughts:-"Well, I was
for Germany first, but I have gone
over to the Allies, but I tell you now
have no great love for the English
didn't they make war on this country
tax US without representation, and
throw our tea over-board?"
We must admit that we have some
cause for complaint against count.
try which throws the tea overheard.

WE AGREE.

In his speech in Greenville, on Sat-
urday last, Ex-Governor Cole L.
Rlease paid his respects to the Tax
Commission of this state. Without
recalling just what he said, and the
manner in which he said it, we agree
with the substance of it. The Tax
Commission has been a dead failure
SC far, and it is to be hoped that the
next Legislature will have the good
sense to repeal the Act.
That there are great inequalities in
The assessment of property, snd un-
just burdens carried by some. while
others in measure are escaping their
share of the taxes, everybody knows.
And we believe that every thinking
man in the state would like to see
the burdens of government properly
distributed, and every man carrying
his share. For that reason a great
many of US welcomed the passage of
the present law, and looked for good
results.
The men appointed are undoubted-
~ men of ability. But all of them
aie politicians, and it seems that thew
are unable to forget the fact.
Governor Blease says that the acts
OF the commission are unjust towards
the corporations. This is a fact
which no man can deny. The cor
poratlons already are bearing their
share, and more than their share of
the taxes-some of them at least are.
and especially the banks, and vet
me banks are the first taxpayers to
1ecelve the attention of the Tax Com
mission. The truth is that the real
estate of the country is the property
Ehlch is not bearing its just proper
son OF the taxes, and the personal
property of individuals is the pro-
serty which is bearing practically
zone of the burdens.
We do not advocate the raising of
Talues on these species of property
end not on the corporations. but we
co advocate the putting of all prop
erty on the tax books on the same
basis Of assessment, and that no
tavors be shown either the bank or
lhe individual. Any other system
l.: wrong in principle, and will not be
spproyd by fair-minded people.
We suggest that if the law is not
repealed, that the next appointees
he men not connected with politics.
There is no place on tax commission
tor politics.

GUARDIANS NEEDED.

Some Of the bulls who thought co.
ton could not go down have received
a jolt. Some of the farmers who
stated in July that if cotton sold for
nine cents, the country could get
along, but who refused to sell at
twelve cents, looked little blue last
week.
Cotton has been and is still bring
ing good price, and when cotton is
bringing good price, a farmer, mer-
chant or landlord, as well as renter.
should sell. A man may be per-
fectly honest in advising the people
to put cotton in the warehouse and
hold for higher prices, but lie gives
bad advice in the opinion of this
paper.
Interest, storage charges, loss in
weight, and mental worry help to
lower the results, and often the re-
suits are anything but comforting.
Everybody is interested in cotton
bringing fair price. But when tn ?
Price may be obtained, it is foolish
to gamble on the future. Give the
ether fellow little chance. The
country will not prosper if you make
it all anyway. -

ARE THESE STATE
MENTS CORRECT:

From an old Confederate officer,
IN atterney-at-law, who for nearly
half century has been living close
10 the border of Mexico and been in
intimate touch with the Mexican con-
Gltions in Texas as we'll as in Mexico.
We are in receipt of letter in the
course of which it is said:
Well, Germany has virtually re
tognized the Carranza Government
cf Mexico. The Kaiser is nothing
unless intriguing. He holds out the
Give branch of>peace to US, while he
carries the knife of the assassin up
his sleeve. He yields, as perforce
of international law he must, in the
matter of submarine warfare for
which the United States contended,
hoping thereby to receive the United
States influence on England to
change her maritime blockade of
provisions to Germany, and at the
same time he stabs us in the back by
interfering with Mexican affairs, d.

policy toward Mexico and the Monroe
Doctrine applicable to all, Europe

bases and by England of his African

THE COUNTRY CHURCH.

(From the Columbia Record.)
One of the graduates of the COL
umbia Seminary, the Rev. W. H. Mills
If Clemson, is becoming quite spe-
cialist in the field of the country
church, its problems, their solution,
methods of advancing the interest of
the rural communities and serving
the community life. The United
States department of agriculture is
aiding him in his work.
Mr.. Mills has had overtures to give
his whole time to this field in the
employment of the United States bu-
reau of education. He is already
doing very valuable service in this
field in his native State Of South
Carolina. The Columbia Seminary
is very fortunate in securing him to
deliver series of lectures, during
The next year, covering this field of
The country church and rural sociol-
ogy.
There will be five lectures, which
will perhaps treat the subject under
the following general heads, with
such notifications as immediate pre-
paration may lead him to make: First
EThe Kingdom of God;" second, "The
Church as the Means of the Bringing
Ir of the Kingdom;" third, "The
Country Church and Its Problems" :"
fourth, "The Country Church and
It's Solution Of These Problems;" and
fifth, "The Country Minister as the
Centre of the Whole Question of the
Relation of the Country Church to
the Whole Community"
1t is very necessary that students
should hear from specialists in this
field this whole subject treated, in
order that they may be prepared
wisely to serve the rural churches
of which they themselves become
rastors. Perhaps the most important
ard practical ecclesiastical question
that is now confronting the Christian
people is the problem of the country
church and the preparation of wise
and effective ministers to fill these
fields.
Seventy-fve years ago there were
throughout South Carolina hundreds
Of country churches that were the
bedrock of the civilization cf this
country. Today their people are
Scattered, their influence waning.
They must be revived.

far exceed those of any, in fact, Of
all other European nations, and they
have for some time been openly STIR
ring up hostility against us, which has
brought about and urged on the bor-
der warfare we are having with Mexi-
can bandits all along the Rio Grande.
If continued, this will inevitably lead
to war between the United States
and Mexico, and that will be Ger
many's opportunity to step in to the
aid of Mexico and precipitate a war
with Germany. Events are leading
up to this, and the Kaiser will be free
to give Mexico all the aid she may
need in war with US.
Great, stirring and tragic events
loom up in the not distant future, but
I fear our people will not see it until
too late. We have become a nation
of shopkeepers, spectators and mil
lionaires, and can see nothing but the
almighty dollar. 1t behooves us to
vigorous prosecution of, prepared
ress, and hope Congress will be
equal to the emergency and rise with
the occasion. Our cause of COM
llaint against Germany for stirring
up this strife along the border and
melting the bandit raids is that these
acts are directly traceable to German
residents in Mexico, encouraged and
abetted by their home people, if not
by the Government directly, and
urged on by Carranza, who has the
confidence and secret cooperation of
the German Government.
Here are some remarkable state
ments made by an attorney accus-
toned to measure with great care
what he says. His letter, written
under date of September 2, comes
from close to the Mexican border. 1t
was not written for publication; it
was not written with any thought
that it would ever be seen by any ex-
|cept the relatives to whom it was
sent. 1t is, therefore, all the more
important, for it was not written with
the idea of affecting public senti-
ment. 1t is merely an expression of
the knowledge of the situation gained
by lawyer who was a Confederate
officer and who for nearly half a
century has lived in intimate touch
with Mexico and the Mexican people.
Are these statements correct?
Similar reports have been coming
to the Manufacturers Record from
others familiar with the situation.
If they are correct, do the officials of
the United States Government UNDER
stand the situition And if so, what
is this country going to do about it?

RELIEVES THE WORST
CASES OF CATARRH
Think "HyOmei the Most Wonderful
Treatment for Catarrh Ever
Discovered.

Do not try TO cure catarrh by using
sprays or lotions; il cannot be cured
in that manner. The only way in
which this too common disease can be
fully relieved is through a direct APP
plication to the affected parts that
will kill the bacilli of catarrh and pre-
vent their growth.
Breathing the air of Hyomei is the
only known method of treatment that
can really accomplish this. 1t is the
simplest, most pleasant and probably
the most reliable treatment for ca
tarrh that has ever been discovered.
Numerous unsolicited testimonials
have been received from prominent
men and women who have been help
ed by this remarkable remedy. Min
listers, bankers lawyers, even emf
nent physicians have given strong
testimony as to the powers of Hyo-
mel.
The complete Hyomei outfit is In
expensive and consists of an inhaler,
dropper and sufficient Hyomei TO last
several weeks. This will effect instant
relief in ordinary cases, but for chron-
ic and deep-seated cases of catarrh,
longer use may be necessary, and then
an extra bottle Of HyOmei can be OBJ
tanned for a trifling sum. 1t is not
alone the best Git might be called the
only method of treating catarrh.
but ii is also the most economical.
Wettick's Original Cut Rate Medi-
cine store has so much confidence in
the power of Hyomei that he will
for a limited time, sell this medicine
under his personal guarantee to re-
fund the money IL the purchaser can
say that it did not benefit.-Advt.

AT THE OLIVER.

"Kndling" is the unique title OF the
play that the Oliver Players are pre-

an appealing one. Hundreds of sug-

in desperation the author bethought
him Of the word used in his pla-- ss
applied TO the thousands OF children
born in the great east side of New
York city, the scene Of the play. The
word was "kindling" So the play
was launched bearing this odd title.

American play was at hand and ca
pacity houses were the rule during it's
