public-spirited as The Times perhaps
we would have better conditions.

irrigation projects were in prospect
that would have reclaimed nearly g.
100000 acres more of land. The
cost of all of these works had been
estimated at something more than
s1OO,OO0,000. Cotton was first of
the plantation crops, with an appar7
emily glowing future before it. Rice
was the principal grain export, being
sold abroad to value of about ST.
100000. Fresh eggs on the London
breakfast tables were. largely Egyp-

So far as we are able to learn only
few newspapers are worrying aoouI
the county-to-cOunty canvass "hlch
is to be pulled off this campaign year;
Some of them do not want It, ana
are saying pretty ugly things ABOUT
It. We are not worried in the least.
If the candidates and their TRENDS
want it. we see no reason why they
should not have it. If the neWspa-
rers do not care to attend and re-
mort the meetings itwillbe all rlght
for th'~-,o to remain at home and take
If easy while the fur ilics. y course
th;s privilege is accorded to every
body else. so why worry? Let us al
take it easy and make up our minds
to let it come if it wishes TO and quit
calling it ugly names such as cir
Gus, jawing match, wind Jammlng
contests, hot air tests, bull raging
meets. and so on.-GreenWood Jour-
nal.
Has anybody ever taken a poll OF
the candidates making the campaign
to see if they wanted the county-to-
county canvass? We don't oelleVe
thew want it. Some of them do, no
doubt. They would not get their
names in the newspapers near so
much. without it, and they would be
completely lost for campaign dope
unless they had their opponents on
the stand to pull off grand opera
stuff against. And there has never
been an expression of the people on
the matter. Judging from the tact
that out of 10000 voters, only
about one-sixth Of them ever attend
State campaign meetings, one would
be led to the conclusion that they
are not absolutely crazy about it.

The Democratic club meetings will
be held next Saturday, The Colum-
bia State suggests that every club
pass a resolution endorsing the ad-
ministration of Woodrow Wilson, and
instructing it's delegates to the coun-
ty convention to vote for delegates in
favor of his denomination. We feel
sure that every club in South Caro-
lima would pass such a resolution II
offered. Let every club chairman see
that a resolution of this kind is in
troduced. South Carolina was large
ly responsible for the nomination of
Wilson four years ago. There is GER
tainly no cause for regret regarding
the part this State had in bringing
forth Wilson. Let everybody now
stand firm and unanimously for the
continuance of the present admins
tration.

They say the people do not "send
in things" to the editors like they
used to do in the good old days; but
that is an error. Some of the people
continue to send in things-lots and
cords of 'em; such as they are. For
instance, the Observer got two pages
of movie plates and reading stuff the
other day from film company, with
the permission to use any, or all, of
it if we wished.
And there are just oodles of other
things sent in pretty much of the
same sort; which the editor can print
in his paper free.
The only trouble about that sort of
thing is it doesn't buy the baby any
new Shoes berry Observer.
Evidently the Observer is on the
same ''circuit'' for free matter as The
Herald. Despite the fact that we
have never been guilty of printing
the rot of this nature that is sent us
for gratuitous publication, it has not
served to diminish the volume of free
advertising matter that we continue
to receive.
