the views of the candidate. And SO
it might be in this state. The peo-
ple of the state should be more inter
ested in the matters advocated by the
candidates and less interested in the
candidates themselves and they
would be except for the mud-slinging
campaigns of every two years.
But we will never make progress
if we are to legislate in the councils
of the party for this or the other
man, nor will we if the convention
is to be a Manning or Blease, or a
Cooper convention. The delegates to
the state convention should know
nothing about candidates. But they
should legislate for discontinuance
of present methods of debate be-
tween candidates, and to promote the
intelligent discussion of all real is
Sues.

WHY YOUR STAND?

We are invited by our esteemed
fellow-sufferer, the editor of the
Spartanburg Journal to tell him just
why we are not supporting Governor
Manning for reelection, in which
invitation is the statement that when
one refuses to support a candidate
for this Office for second term "he
usually has some good reason there
for"
We have no objection to telling the
good brother our reasons, or some OF
them, which we deem sufficient for
the present, for not supporting the
Governor in his race for reelection.
First. We have been advised by
the daily press of the state that one
should always support the best man
running for an office. We believe
that R. A. Cooper, of Laurens, S. c.,
is the best man offering for the office
of governor in this race, and so be-
lieving, we should not allow the Sc
cond term argument to supplant such
meritorious and sound advice.
Second. We learned through the
daily press as far back as 1912 that
there was nothing in the'second term
argument, and that if a man in office
had nothing to fall back on but that,
he should be defeated, and a better
man put in the Office. And when we
hear a man talking about the second
term we always feel like he is want,
ing in real argument in favor Of the
election of his candidate.
And having fully answered, we
would like to ask the good brother
whether he is supporting the COVER
nor for reelection, and if so, "Why
your stand?"

POINTED PARAGRAPHS.

Wise infants look before they creep.
Most people who say but little talk
too much.
Ambition is the thing that boosts
a man up the ladder.
Men who think they know it all
are never able to prove it.
Everything comes to the man who
advertises while he is waiting.
Some men are born liars, and the
rest speak the truth occasionally.
It's the bill for a woman's stun
ming gown that shocks her husband.
How a pretty woman does love to
walk down the street with homely
one!
When man quarrels with his wife
he seldom gets a chance to say any
thing.
Isn't it shame that the highest
praise man ever gets comes out at
his funeral?
When a man tells another that he
understands women he is then classed
as an easy mark.
Of course you are entitled to think
what you please, but it isn't always
safe to infict your thoughts on 9TH
erS.
After a man has posed as cynic
for q few years he begins to think
too little of his neighbors and too
much of himself.

KERR FOR COLONEL.

We are supporting Mr.. Cooper fol
governor in the race this summer
and if he is elected we expect to pre-
sent Col. Kerr, of Greenville street
as a candidate for Colonel on his
staff. We shall exact no promises IN
advance as we fully believe that an
inspection of our candidate will con.
vince a man of Mr.. Cooper's dis
cernment that he would fill a colo
nel's uniform to full capacity.
Another point is his favor is that
our neighbor already has fine sad
die horse, named Sebastian Cabot,
Lately he has been driving him to his
installment furniture wagon; but
Sebastian is no wagon-horse, as resi-
dents of Greenville street can testify,
having seen him under the saddle in
the early spring with our candidate
doing the riding. Joe Wheeler never
rode a horse with more pomp and
ceremony than his Abbeville kinsman'
And then if the latter should fall off,
he would hit the ground "soft," and
not break anything. He is also
active in a fall and always manages
to light on his side.
Being a friend of the poor man he
would be a great drawing card in a
race for reelection, if Cooper should
run again, and should it be necessary
to take trip off, he would ornament
his position and uniform as few men
in like position could.

AT THE THEATERS
Washburn Play.


The Washburn College Dramatic
club has always maintained in its pro-
auctions a high standard for amateur
acting. A visitor here recently OBJ
served that he knew of no similar or
ganization whose standards are higher
in the selection of material for pre-
sentation During the past two years
the Dramatic club has presented the
masterpieces of Clyde Fitch, J. NJ.
Synge, the great Irishman. and of
Oscar Wilde, the leader of the Aes-
thetic school in English drama, as
well as the annual Shakespearian pro-
duction.
You Never Can Tell" by George
Bernard Shaw, matinee and night next
Saturday, April s, maintains well the
traditions of the Dramatic club.
Shaw's pre-eminence among contem-
porary English dramatists is unques-
toned, and his characteristic qualities
are such as appeal strongly to a pop
ular audience. His wit and fun are
Irresistible and the action of the play
goes with snap.
The casting Of You Never Can Tell
is fully up to standard. Miss Ruth
Rooster and Mr.. Donald Welty will
handle the leads. Both have appeared
before Topeka audiences in leading
roles on other occasions, and their
acting is remembered with pleasure
by their many friends. Maje1 Lang
hart and HARDWOOD Benton as the
Terrible Twins" ought to score a dis
tinct hit in two delightfully."- funny
roles. Frank Rip1y as William b.

cellent comedy part. Mary Weight

IN THE OLD HOME TOWN
Ona May Miller VIII Give a Concert
in Topeka Friday Evening.

Under direction of the Ladies' Aid
society of the First Methodist church,
Miss Ona May Miller, well known in
Topeka as a musician and elocutionist
of unusual ability, will appear at the
church in a concert Friday night.
Miss Miller, who is now making her
home in Kansas City, began her career
in Topeka. She first learned to play
on little banjo when she was six
years old. A few years later she began
the study of dramatic art. Then it
was discovered that Miss Miller had
a voice of unusual ability and she add
ed, to the work already carried, voice
study.
Miss Miller was called on frequent
ly to assist in entertainments over the
state. One day she conceived the idea
of playing her own accompaniment on
the harp. Several months of diligent
work made her ambition possible and
since that time she has furnished her
own accompaniment.
Following two seasons spent in New
York, where she continued her studies
with Oscar Saenger. Miss Miller To-
Gated in Kansas City. She is rapidly
gaining wide clientele there and has
also made a number of concert tours

SIMPLE WAY TO GET

There is one simple, safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads
and that is 20 dissolve them.
To do his get about two ounces of plain
powdered neroxin from any drug store
sprinkle a little on a hot. wet sponge-rub
over the blaekheads briskly-wash the parts
and you will be surprised how he black
heads have disappeared. Big blackheads
little blackheads, no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
heads are simply a mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores of the skin. Pinching and
squeezing only cause irritation, make large
pores and do not get them out after they
become hard. The powdered neroxin and
the water simply dissolves the blackheads so
they wash right out. leaving the pores free
and clean and in their natural condition
