AS the time for the next national
political campaign nears. 1t is the log
ical thing for the opposition to the
administration to begin TO give voice
TO lamentation over the failure of Will
son TO settle the hash Of the Mexicans,
his inability to stop the scrap in Eu-
rope and the general mess that he is
making OF the domestic affairs of the
nation 1t is safe TO predict that the
murmurings Of discomfort which his
partisan foes are generating will swell
into a mighty chorus before many
months and we shall be informed that
Wilson'S weakness is a shame to the
nation.
Il is all a part Of the great game Of

iion that may be waged against the

No man was ever more villified by

than Abraham Lincoln, but today few

as little over what his critics have to

form, the strongest kind that can be
presented, is found at the county fair
evidence that demonstrates beyond
question the greatness of Grady coun-
ty as an agricultural region
The variety and quality of the pro-
ducts shown-thc grains, grasses
fruits and vegetables testify in no
uncertain manner to the productive
ness and the possibilities OF the soil
of Grady county and tell the story
of what industry can accomplish.
The county fair is revelation TO
Grady county people themselves How
many Of us knew what the members
of the boys and girls clubs were ac-
complishing, to say nothing of the re-
suits achieved by progressive adult
farmers who are practicing up-to-date
methods? How many OF us realized
the splendid work that our county
schools are doing?
Fof the IlTst tliue, we are having
real county fair, thanks to the energy
of those who have promoted it and
the people who have co-operated with
them. AS gratifying as the exhibit is
this year, it ought to be much larger
and better next year
Mutual interests and county pride
should inspire us to form a firm reso-
luton to keep pushing forward till WI,
make Grady county famous through
out the southwest as an unsurpassed
agricultural section, land distin-
guished for the production of fine
crops and livestock, fine schools and
rural conditions that make for pros
perity and happiness.

1t sees fit where those affairs concern
itself alone, 1t cannot claim the right
to settle of itself those affairs which
also affects It's neighbor. The interests
of all the counties of the state being
bound together on this question, it
should be settled as whole.
There is no better argument for
statewide prohibition than the i'm
proved condition of those counties of
the state which already have prohibit
ton. 1t has been claimed time and
again in newspapers and elsewhere
that the moral life Of these communi-
ties has been greatly improved since
the voting out Of whiskey from them
and these claims have never been dis
putcd. The conditions speak for them
selves and no other argument is need
cd. If the moral life is better. the
mental life must be better and GER
tainly the money that has not been
spent for whiskey has been used to
better advantage.
The Advertiser does not believe
that a prohibition campaign conduct
ed along the lines of previous cam
paigns in which appeals to sentiment
and emotion predominated, will be
most effective. Facts as to the injury
which whiskcy does to the consumer
himself and to those in whom he is
interested are more impressive upon
the mind Of the man who is in doubt
The example being lead by noted ath-
letes has done more for the temper
ance cause in the last few years than
all other agencies combined Let
OF campaign arguments.

Sam j, Nichols.

Sam j. Nichols has apparently
defeated b. A. Morgan for congress.
The victory is due to the superior
game Of politics which Nr. Nichols
played He secured his former
vote, which is equivalent to saying
that he secured good part Of the
vote which the last state administra-
ton usually received; and such in
roads as were made upon this vote,
were compensated for by the ballots
OF many men who were willing to
bury the hatchct. Mr.. Morgan did
not force the issue, and Mr.. Nichols
had al to gain by letting the last lie
dormant
The congreSsman-nom is a
young man OF exceptional ability.
There are many Of his friends who
stoutly claim that he never was, at
heart, member Of the camp with
which he formerly affiliated himself.
He is man of attractive personality,
an excellent campaigner, and withal,
in this last campaign, he has con-
Quoted his fight in clean manner
1t was no factional race that he ran
His advocates, indeed, were very diff
ferent from the advocates which one
would have expected Of him had he
" llo lol llClHOuS. LNO"
he is stout supporter Of the presi-
dent, and now he is a constructionist
The News is delighted at this, and the
News believes that the district will
not have reason to be ashamed Of the
selection. Mr.. Nichols has it in him
to become power in politics. AL
though this paper advocated the
nomination Of Mr.. Morgan, and want
cd to see him nominated, it does not
regard the result as a disaster, for
either man is capable Of making a
representative.
Mr.. Nichols has an opportunity
before him for great service; not 50
much in the halls Of congress, as in
his district. He has a following
which many times and oft has not
been constructive He has a hold
upon this following, and because of
his personal attributes which cn-
dear him to hundreds of mon, and
because Of the hold which he now
has, he is in position TO turn many
a mans mind from destructive to
constructive channels If Mr.. Mich
oils will do this, if he will leave for
all time the disastrous destructive
policies of tho past, and devote his
heart and mind to the task of right
ing sitakcn ideas, he will have
served his district in most acccpta-
~ fashion. n.-Grccnvilc News.

THE FALL ADVERTISING.

Adjoining cities are making prepara-

tories which Laurens merchants have
a right to operate as competitors. 1t
is not long before fall business will
be in full swing. Our merchants
ought to be making some prepara-
tons to go after 1t. A trade excursion
is very good form OF advertising
and has the added benefit Of combin-
ing business with pleasure. Travel
slips have been successfully used to
draw trade and is being used in our
territory for competition with us now.
a great circularizing campaign is an
effective advertising scheme. Constant
advertising in the local papers and
papers in adjoining towns is effective
and cheap There arc numerous forms
Of effective advertising that could be
profitably utilized. a meeting Of mcr-
chants might we'll be held and an ad-
vouising campaign outlined for the
