Henry Ford has new scheme to help
out his anti-preparedness ideas, and it
sounds better than his peace party epi-
sode. He says he intends to launch a
countrywide campaign of newspaper
and magazine advertising against the
program for huge naval and military
expenditures now before congress. Mr..
Ford says all of the people of the coun-
try will be reached by his plan. Henry
will find that it costs, about as much
money to run a one-page ad. in sonfe
newspapers and magazines as one of his
machines brings him. However, the
newspapers will welcome the auto king
as an advertiser on cash basis-he's
had his share of free advertising.

A PitifuI Sight
Tugaloo Tribune.

Tugaloo Tribune.
A rather uncommon and pitiful sight
was seen on Southern train No. IL one
day last week. A widow lady with IL
children got on Conductor Jim Rowland 8
train at Liberty and got off at Easley,
where it is understood they were to
work in the cotton mill. The oldest
child was not over 15. The lady was
the mother of all except two, whom she
said were adopted children. 1t is rather
uncommon to see so many so near the
same size in one family. Only two or
three were old enough to help this
woman make living.

When we read the proceedings of the
South Carolina Legislature we cannot
keep from thinking of little incident
which is said to have happened in
North Carolina not so very very
long ago. A member of the South
Carolina Legislature and North Caro-
linian were arguing about the greatness
of their respective states, when the S.
G.. solon said: "Well, how is it that
North Carolina has to maintain two
asylums for its mentally unbalanced
people, while South Carolina has only
one asylum?" ''Well, replied the Tar
heel, ''up here we send all our crazy
| people to the asylum, while down in
] South Carolina what the asylum won't
hold you send to the legislature.

Campaign Pea J.

This, year is what we call politica
4 year. Candidates for the different of.
fees VIII soon be announced and the
campaign will be in full blast.
Our state political campaigns for sew.
eral years past have been bitter and
have caused much hard feelings, some
times among good friends; and some
times good neighbors have fallen out
and become enemies.
Would it not be we'll for us as citi-
zens and voters to calmly make up our
minds to do better this time? Let US
make up our minds to try as best we
can to select the best men for the Of
fees, regardless of what faction they
may have belonged to in the past?
We are tired of extreme men and
extreme measures. Let us hunt for the
conservative men and put them in the
different Offices. We do not intend to
support man for Office when about the
only qualification he has for the office
is that he had always belonged to the
same faction that we have beloned to
or that we have generally voted with.
Prejudice is blind, and if we allow
ourselves to become prejudiced against
men or measures we can't see any good
in them.
The management of this paper does
not intend' to treat anybody unfair.
Personally we have our own views about
men and about certain measures, but
we do not intend to try to force our
views on others in any way that will be
offensive to those who do not believe as
we do. We would be 80 glad to see the
campaign without bitterness and strife,
and if we can lend helping hand in
that direction we will only be too glad
to do so.
While of course we will support GER
tain men for Office, we do not intend to
be unfair or unfriendly to the man or
men whom we do not support. We
have a right to our choice and we grant
to others the same right that we claim
! for ourselves

nations. Which is about as good a

as far as the countrys laws prove insufficient, to act by complemental orders.

 'The order has been carried out with all possible consideration and without harshness. If isolated mis- takes have happened in the selection of persons sent to Germany and if, especially, the measure has been ex- tended to persons where the condi- tions of the order of May, 15, 1916, are not fulfilled, the cause has been lythat the Belgian authorities fre- quently failed to cooperate in draw ing up a ist of the unemployed or reported in incorrect fashion.

The guarantee now may be stamped on the dealers invoice and since Nov. 1 has been forbidden .son labels except those printed before May 5, 1914.
 The object of the new system is to avoid creating the popular impression which grew out of the guaranty clause on the label. that the govern ment analyses and examines the con- tents. Printing the guaranty on the invoice transfers responsibility for the products purity from the dealer to the manufacturer.

ing for the life and future of our na- tion. Everybody can understand that at such. a mo ment as this German public opinion analyses very carefully the facts and compares our attitude with that of the enemy
 "Of course we are cut off from the greater part of the communications with the outer world, especially with the cables, the mails and the spoken word in order to plead their case be- for the whole world. But the other nations also ought to hear our voice, our grievances. I myself, with these words. only mean to explain the rea- sons for the present popular feeling in Germany, and feel sure that it will be appreciated everywhere by all fair-minded people.
 Fears Wrong Impression.
 The situation is, that Germany and her allies are surrounded by ene- mics and that Germany has victori- ously carried the war on all fronts beyond the limits of Germany. Popu- lar feeling in Germany is that our enemies, unable to win victory on the battlefield, will try to win by creating a wrong impression about Germany s intentions and Germans actions in the rest of the world where Germany $ voice can only seldom be heard.
 .sThey will try.to persuade the world that in the case of submarines and in other cases Germany will disregard her given word, while they themselves, in fact. have abrogated the laws of nations and do themselves what they charge against us, as in the case of hostile submarines attacking German vessels and in attacks on neutrals, as in the case of Greece.
 "But this respect for truth and jus tice cannot be suppressed forever. We are confident in our future military operations and are equally confident that the justice of our cause will tri- umph in the mind of the world. "
