ENFORCE THE RULE.

One of the rules adopted by the

to the effect that no man who voted
against the nominees of the party
in the election last November may

This means that those persons who

ming was the nominee of his party.
He was the nominee in fact, but
there were those who pretended to
believe, and perhaps others who
were made to believe, that he was
not fairly nominated. There was a
remedy for any candidate who be-
lieved this both through the party
machinery and through the courts
That neither was resorted to shows
how empty were the charges.
The charges, however, were suff'
cient to induce some designing per-
sons and others who did not know
any better to nominate and vote
for Cole L. Blease for Governor
Notwithstanding Manning was de-
clared the party nominee. Those SC
voting for Blease can on longer vote

BUY WAR SAVINGS A

Those people who do nothing. to
help the government by buying Lib
erty Bonds and War Savings Stamps
need not think that the government
will always permit the loyal to be
the burden bearers of the commune
ty. while the disloyal engage only in
.profteering by reason of the advan-
tapes which have come to them
through the war. The men who run
the government r not fools; they
will not be deceived; every mar
must bear his part of the load
whether he will or not.
The men who give a little, OF
lend a little, when they should take
their place in the front ranks OF
those who assist the government are
not only slackers but h~ypocrites as
well. They are n thing and seek
to appear in another role by doing
less than their duty.
America expects every man to dc
his duty willingly. If he will not
do it willingly he is expected to dc
it anyway.
America expects every man to dc
his WHOLE duty.

BLACK-SCHROEDER. .

Last Tuesday night at the Bap-
fist parsonage, Miss Margaret Black
of Mt. Carmel. a charming young
lady, became the bride of Mr.. Lu-
Glen Schroeder, of this city, an en-
ployee of the Seaboard. DR.. Geo.
W. Swope read the marriage service
in a simple but impressive style.
After the marriage ceremony the
happy couple started on a trip north
visiting Norfolk, New York, and
other cities, before returning to
Abbeville, where they will make
their home.

having violated the pledge they have
lost their standing in the party.
THE RETIREMENT OF LEVER.

The decision of Representative
Lever to retire from the race for
the United States Senate and to Of
fer again for his present seat in
the House clears the political at
mosphere. A few poor politicians
were responsible for the blunder of
Mr.. Lever. He never had any real
chance to win against Senator Till
man. Had he waited until after
the Democratic Convention in Col
umbia, instead of following the
advice of over-zealous persons bent
on the defeat Of Tillman, he would
never have offered.
His, continuance in the race could
have accomplished but one thing,
and that was the creation of fric-
ton between his friends and those
of Senator Tillman out of which
Blease might have hoped to profit.
The request of the President that
re continue to hold the position
which he now holds for the good OF
the country, and especially in or
der that he may assist in the enact
ment of needed legislation offered
him an opportunity to step aside
gracefully. We are glad that he
showed no false pride by undertake
ing to ''back his Judgment"
The President is not slow to see
which way the wind is blowing in
politics. 1t is evident to him, as it
is daily growing evident to others
who have been doubtful, that Sena-
tor Tillman will succeed himself.
Those who have been undertaking
to discount the standing of the old
man by claiming that he is not ply
sically and mentally able to cope
with the situation are finding him
too much alive to handle easily.
This is no time to think up old
political grudges, nor to. talk about
what somebody said twenty years
ago, or longer. South Carolina
needs to send to the Senate the best
man we are able to send. The long
service and experience Of Senator
Tillman, his good standing in the
Senate and before the country at
large. and his pre-eminent ability
make him the only man to be con-
sidered in the present emergency.
Any thoughtful man who will sit
down , and commune. with himself
must conclude that this is true. Any
man who in this day and time does
not vote for the best man for this
office is not true either to himself
or his country. A man may be a
Stacker when he goes to the polls
as we'll as elsewhere.
It remains to be seen whether, in
the greatest crisis of the worlds
history, men in Abbeville and South
Carolina will vote according to old
prejudices which should long since
have been forgotten, or whether
they will vote to save the state n
country.
Patriotism today demands that
every mar do his duty.

OFFENSIVE PEACE TALK.

The German "peace offensive" is
indeed offensive in all senses of the
word. 1t smells to heaven. 1t is an
affront to sane human intelligence.
The proposal to England and the
United States that they buy a
shameful peace at the expense of
France would be merely silly and
not worthy any discussion if it were

FOR THE YOUNG GIRLS ROOM
Attractive Substitutes May Be Found
for Silver Toilet Sets That May
Be Found Too Expensive.

The little girls dressing table Is
often the cause of much perplexity.
Sister wants toilet articles like the
grown-ups of the family, but silver
brushes, combs, and powder boxes are
not for the extremely young. Mothers
often find the price is beyond what
can be spent on the younger members
of the famlly's extras" and more
often these mothers feel that the care
the silver articles would receive would
not justify their purpose.
However, interest In her own room
and possessions must be stimulates

stitute for the silver toilet set can be
found.
Possibly she already possesses an
imitation ivory set. II so. use that as
the foundation. If she does not pos.
sess one, they will be found at rea.
sonable prices in the shops. If sister
Is nimble with her fingers she may
paint on the back of the brush and on
the top of the powder box, etc, de
sign of fiowers--possibly copied from
the eretonne hangings. If the task Is
too much for little fingers, surely some
older member of the family could nc

be plenty of recompense for the trou-
