No one expected that DR.. E. C. l..
Adams, president of Audubon society,
would be a suitable person in the
mind of Gov. Manning for appoint
ment as game warden. AS we un-
derstand it, DR.. Adams has not been
a supporter of the governor, and that
is essential to suitability" How
ever, it is little curious, this rea-
soning, or the statement in the letter
OF the governor returning the nomi-
nation of DR.. Adams. He says ne
wants the recommendation in the
regular and legal way from a meet
ing of the society. If our recollection
is not at fault a meeting was held
some time ago and a recommended
ton made. But it was not "suita-
Bile" to the governor 1t happened to
be the former game warden, Col. A.
A. Richardson. who was not a politi-
cal supporter of the governor.
This in the face Of all that We have
heard about the governor of all the
people and doing away with faction
alism in this State is actually nau-
seating. 1t is all right to do away
with factionalism, so they say, but it
is only one-sided. Do away with it,
yes, but appoint no one who was op-
posed to the dominant element,
even if only temporarily dominant.
So far as We are concerned we be-
lieve in sticking to your friends and
giving whatever plums you have to
distribute to them. That would be
our rule, so far as political jobs
might go, and we do not criticise any
one for doing the same thing, but We
do hate to see this rant about fac
tionalism and abuse of it by the fell
ews who are the most extreme ex-
ponents Of it. 1t is a aypocritical
ranting that is sickening.

Buy Land
York News.

YORK news. ~
With cotton selling at Csc. a pound
ard everything else that is raised on
a farm selling at record-breaklng
prices, it seems to us that now is the
time for everyone who is working rem
ted land to buy farm. The govern
ment will loan so per cent of the val
ue of the land at per cent interest,
and doubtless individual parties who
have land for sale would be willing to
take a second mortgage for the bal
ance OF the purchase price. The rent
at the present price Of cotton would
paw for small tract of land in few
years. The man who works one
horse farm now and pays thousand
pounds of lint cotton is paying $3.50
a wear rent, which in a few years
would buy a farm even at $40 or 500
an acre. It seems to us that our
real estate now practically by paying
with those who do not own land and
point out the advantage and oppor-
tunity for the tenant class to acquire
real estate now practically by paying
rent money. If this country devel-
ops rapidly, as it likely will at the
end of this war, and emigrants come
here, as they will, lands that are now
worth $50 an acre will likely be
worth $100 an acre. Now is the time
to buy real estate.

A PLEA FOR FACTORY PEOPLE.

Athens, Ca, Paper.
You may think we factory people are
ali unimpOrtant lot,
And the reason why God made US
was He simply just forgot;
And after He'd created us he thought
He'd let us stay
And ramble around on earth awhile to
pass the time away.
Well, I know we're unimportant in
one sense Of the wor6,
For to the triumph of earthly fame
Our names are seldom heard,
But many of US have hearts that are
noble, true and kind,
With sunny disposition, and gen.
tie, loving mind.
Well divide with those in need if We
only possess a dime
We know the Lord will give it back
to us some other TINT,
Our treasures are in heaven, not here
in gold and rank;
We'd rather trust it to the Lord than
put it in the bank.
And thus it is, while at our work, we
card, we spin, we weave;
We're happy and contented, with lit
tie time to grieve;
While the rattle of the spindle, the
slubber or the loom
Puts sorrow, care or pain to fight or
dispels a cloud of gloom.
We all forget our troubles and our
trials here below
While we listen to our shuttles as
they rattle to and fro;
Yes, We watch the busy shuttle as
back and forth it speeds,
And with pleasure watch the cut mark
a-winding through the reeds.
Oh, if l were a millionaire or 6nan-
cially so stout
could own the whole of Athens and
the country round about;
I could't then be satisfied unless 1
had to go
And send my looms to working when
l heard the whistles blow.
Say, you don't like factory people?
Well, that's sinful, declare;
If by chance YOU get to heaven, therell
be factory people there;
And when you meet us there please
don't elevate your nose;
Well not have black oil on our hands
nor cotton on our clothes.

It is proposed by congress, so dis
patch states, to list news print paper
as a nonessential in the conduct OF
the war. Mr.. McAdoo comes out in
government circular in which he
soys, in speaking of the success of
the sales of the liberty bonds: Their
(the newspapers) efforts greatly con-
tributed to making it a double sue
cess and in another paragraph:
''The influence and assistance of all
publications in making the loan a
success are simply incalculable." So
the paper may not be so much non
essential after all, because Mr.. Nc
Adoo is in position to know what he
Is talking about. 1t has some how
looked to US for some time that all
legislation and regulation and rule
in regard to the postofice department
and the regulation of newspapers was
against the newspaper, and trying to
make it harder to exist.

Suppose the exemption boards, as
charged by Mr.. Blease, are partisan
what more is there to it than he him
self would have done had he been
goverlor.-GreenwoodJ Journal.
Surely you would not justify par
tisan board on such ground or argu-
ment as that. Certainly not, since
YOU have condemned Blease so vi
gorously for sticking to his friends.
These boards are to pass on the life
and death OF the young manhood OF
this State. They are to say who is
to 20 TO the firing line and who is not
OF the young men who have register
ed. They should be above small poll
tics and little partisanship. They
may be. We do not know. But
IL there is any good reason except
70 get a partisan board to change the
regular order as applied to other
States in the appointment of these
boards then we would be glad to
have you say so. And is it not a lit
tie strange when the governor chan
ged the regular order that he could
uot find any but his followers for ap-
pointment. Wren they come to make
the selections under the law these
boards will scarcely confne their Sc
lections for the ranks alone to the
supporters of the governor. We re-
great the necessity Of bringing par
tisan politics in so serious matter
as the selection of our young men to
go the front.

be selected? Bring it home TO your
self That is the way to solve these
human problems If his purpose was
to be fair and impartial why should
he desire to change the rule adopted
for all the other States? That is the
question. Why want special privi-
leges for him in South Carolina? Let
the governor answer. We are not
bitter partisan and never have been.
We try always to be fair. But why
ask for special rule to govern in
South Carolina that does not govern
in other States? Why could not the
officers selected in the general rule
be acceptable to the people Of South
Carolina? Is Manning more compe-
tent to select men than the people? !?
AS We have said, we have NO objections
to the men appointed in Newberry,
but they are no better than hundreds
Of others, or the men elected by the
people who would have performed the
duties if the rule adopted for other
States had been in force in this State.
This is serious matter, and not some
little political game that is being
played.

We notice that one Of our exchang-
es speaks of corporation at or near
Columbia working on some construc-
ton on the Sabbath day, and says
that permission was granted to do
this work by the authorities. And
this paper asks what authority has
the right to grant this privilege. We
do not know that the work is neces-
sary, but if it is there is authority OF
a high order for doing the work. We
do not propose at this time to dis
cuss the merits or demerits of the
contention. In some places the blue

We notice that Mr.. John A: Law OF
Spartanburg, who was charged with
murder in that he ran his automobile
over citizen and killed him has beeu
acquitted. The statement is that the
accident was unavoidable because lit
was dark at the time of the accident
and another car was meeting Mr..
Law which blinded him with the
lights Then how about the man
who was driving with those binding
lights faring up in the heavens and
the face of every one near. There
should be some way to regulate or
abolish these terrible lights which
blind people. We have seen them
right here in Newberry. The wonder
is there are no more accidents.

the law to buy cigar or a gallon Of
gasoline or cold drink and so on.
We heard a gentleman remark the
other day that this war was getting
too far away from the church any
way. Now We do not know about
that either, but we do believe that
one of the causes Of the great up
heaval throughout the world today,
and all the wars, is that the people
are getting too far away from God
And we are not going to preach SER
mon either. The people have been
too constrained to worship idols OF
gold, and the money power has too
much influence on the minds and
hearts Of the people, and they have
gone astray from the right path
Otherise war would be impossible.
1t is nothing more or less than the
assertion of the brute that is in US
over coming the good and the human,
and the love of power swaying the
hearts and minds Of the people.

LIST OF TEXT BOOKS
FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS :
State Board of Education Makes Very
Important Changes, Affecting All
Public Schools and Thousands
OF Parents in South Carolina

Columbia, June 23.-The full list t
textbooks adopted by the state board
of education for use in the pubic
schools of South Carolina during the
next five years, shows that some i'm
portant changes have been made. A
number of new books have been ad-
ded to meet the requirements of the
courses of study.
The board was in continuous session
for two weeks. The matter is one OF
far-reaching importance, and every
book submitted was given thorough
consideration by the board. Many
thousand school children in South
Carolina are affected The parents of
these children are also directl-- af-
fected, in that a change involves an
additional outlay of money on their
part. "The board tried not to put any
unnecessary expense upon the people
in the purchase" it says in a state
ment which was issued today, "and
only such changes were mace as, In
the judgment of the board, were
clearly demanded by sound principles
Of educational practice"
Simms' History.
Among the severai important
changes made was the adoption OF
Simms' history Of South Carolina, as
revised by Mrs. A. D. Oliphant, which
will take the place of Whites "Mak-
ing of South Carolina; changes in
readers and arithmetics and in the
Latin text books, and the adoption OF
the Tate-Brown- -Withers works as
supplementary readers.
Simms' History of South Carolina
was written by William Gilmore
Simms in 1910, for the instruction CT
his only daughter. 1t gained a. wide
popularity and was used in the
schools. A second edition was neces-
sary in 1S43. Both these editions were
published in Charleston by S. Bah

cock, of this city. DR.. Babcock now
has the desk on which the book was
written-a present to his grandfather

the third edition, bringing the history
,, down to that year. 1t is this third
edition of which Mrs. A. D. Oliphant
, Of Columbia who was Miss Mary

of William Gilmore Simms, has made
