Perhaps that's the trouble. You have
youth. And youth is essentially selfish,
unconSciouSIy So And you can't see
what YOU are doing 10 her.
You are slowly asphyxiating her. You
are making il so that she cares less and
less to live. She is not getting bitter
She couldn't. But her soul is growing
grayer and duler and drier every day
What she's starving for is apprecia-

Every one must have his pay. And
the pay Of love is appreciation. Money

You never bring her a flower. You

Give her more of your time, George.
Put forth some of that minute careful

And you will be glad to see the sparkle

Wake up, George, and make love to

is for a public officer TO meet the full
duty Of his Office when there are nc

He has demonstrated just how easy II
is for a police department to get results
when it is FREE to GO AFTER results.
The people make the laws.
The laws, therefore, must represent, in
every instance, a majority sentiment on
the part of the people.
These laws are put in writing and
printed.
Then the people go down into their
pockets and engage officers to see that
these laws are obeyed.
These officers in Detroit are called pa
trolmen
Sergeants are placed over the patrol
men to see that they do their duty and
meet their part in the police organiza-
ton.
Lieutenants keep tab on the sergeants.
Captains are responsible for the lieu
tenants.
Inspectors have supervision over cap
tains.
A superintendent sits in authority over
all of these men and is responsible TO the
police commissioner for shortcomings or
for inefficiency that may exist at any
spot in the line.

Connolly's charges against the Marx

reason why Judge Connolly should be

He diagnosed the case exactly as Sur

MARRIAGES MADE IN
LONDON, NOT HEAVEN

London.-Women now outnumber
men by more than 1,250,000 in the
British Isles, while in some Of the
empires oversee dominions men
are in a large majority. To redistri-
butte these women, who are war wild
ows, when the conflict is over, the
Salvation army has scheme to send
them to the dominions to remarry
and is raising a fund Of $1,000,000
to defray the expense of their emf
grafton and that Of their children.
It is estimated that the cost of en-
igration would average about $75
for single woman and 5000 for a
family of three, and that by means
of the $1,00O,000 fund, at least s.
900 widows, with 10000 children
would be emigrated.

EVER SALIVATED BY
CALOMEL? HORRIBLE! !!
Calomel is Quicksilver and Acts Like
Dynamite On Your Liver.

| dynamic III AouI AlSGfs
Calomel loses you day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick
silver. Calomel is dangerous. 1t
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish,
constipated and all knocked out and
believe you need dose of dangerous
calomel just remember that your
druggist sells for so cents a large
bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone, which
is entirely vegetable and pleasant to
take and is a perfect substitute for
calomel. It is guaranteed to start
your liver without stirring you up in
side, and can not salivate.
. Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you days
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straight
ems you right up and you feel great.
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and doesn't grippe.

of granting favors is unfit for the
place."
Mr.. Cooper stated that the great
est question before the people Of the
State is the education of the boys
and girls of South Carolina. If he
is elected governor, he said the first
man he wanted to see is the Super
intendent of Education. Said 80
per cent of the children in this
State must receive their education
in the neighborhood schools. He
proposes to do everything to develop
the educational system so that the
high schools will give the children
the same training that can be secur-
ed in the first two years in college.
Said the principle of free scholar
ship is wrong; that only per cent
are being benefited at the expense
of all taxpayers. He said the State
should open the doors of its colleges
to every poor boy and girl, the ex-
penses to be paid after completing
their education. Favors teaching
agriculture in the rural schools, say
ing that only two and one-half out
of every one hundred boys in the
State could enter Clemson College.
Mr.. Cooper discussed at length
the State warehouse system, and
thinks it should be divorced from
politics and conducted along the
same lines as our national banks.
Said the State need not put one dol
lar in the system.
Discussing the rural credit sys-
tenn, Mr.. Cooper said every white
farmer can become a land owner.
That 40 per cent of our white farm
ers now live on rented land. Mr..
Cooper said he had no quarrel to
make with large land owners, but
The Abbeville press and banner. [volume] (Abbeville, S.C.) 1869-1924, 1916-08-02

that every man should be land
and home owner. Believes the tax
payers of the State should do more
for our old soldiers. He thinks we
should be as loyal now as they were
in 1861.
The speaker did not think it pos
sib1e or wise to reduce taxes. He
said he would not promise to do so.
That all candidates in years past
have promised "tax reduction" and
that taxes have only been reduced,
since the war, from eight hundred
thousand dollars to two and a half
million dollars. He would not prom:
Use to lower taxes, but said he would
treat the peoples money as his own
and use it as a trust fund.
Discussing law enforcement, the
speaker said " the chief duty of your
governor is to impartially enforce
the laws of the State. He favors
one measure Of punishment to rich
and poor alike. Said it is unfair to
a poor man to make him serve SEN
tence, when his more fortunate
neighbor can buy immunity by pay
inc his fine. He promised to use
every possible means to enforce the
law. but said the law breakers and
strife will remain in our State, to
a certain extent, until driven out by
education. .....,
Tf elected I promise the full pow
er of the governors office In ad-
vancing the progress in education
and agriculture, and will look after
the welfare of our people to the best
of nv ability" said Mr.. Cooper IN
closing. His remarks were gener-
ously and loudly applauded.- -.
