NOTES OF THE
HOLLY SCHOOLS
Track

HOlly's team is in the best of
condition for an all round victory
over the other towns of the league.
Our team is not one man team
but has q real man for every job,
SO you may look for real victory
for Holly this season. She is en-
tering the best team she ever had
in the biggest literary contest of
her history by as good a declaimer
and as good an orator as she has
ever produced. So if we do not
have a real victory on all sides the
other towns are Going Some! We
expect to sce everyone tagged with
season tickets roofing for Holly
about 2 o'clock Saturday.

OUT Or THEIR OWN MOUTHS

The Nonpartisan party and it's gather
'ings as such have the same rights and
are allowed the same courtesies as any
other political party. The right Of
.peaceable assemblage is not only guar
anteed by the constitution Of the United
States but by common sense.
On the other hand il the speakers Of
any public meeting talk sedition they
should be arrested. Also when any
party by continued acts prove that they
are disloyal as whole, then its meet
ings should be suppressed.
\ In the treatment of speakers and
meetings OF the Nonpartisan party both
in Minnesota and in some localities in
this state, we think there has been too
much of the extreme. There should be
no prosecution until the evidence is
positive. There is no possible proof to
show what man or speaker is going to
say. To successfully prosecute the
evidence must be what the man d,d say.
That is, he must first be allowed to open
bis mouth. 10 stop the meeting or
arrest the speaker before or az the be-
ginning Of the meeting simply cuts out
the proof needed to convict.
And some Of these will sure convict
themselves-if they are allowed to talk.
A large number of them have already
furnished more or less evidence against
themselves. The more cautious, do very
little harm, though they go as far as
they dare.
So let them talk, let them have their
meetings. As long as they keep on the
right side of the loyal line, they are but
every day politicians; when they step
over that line they become traitors and
deserve the fate of all traitors.
Nobody believes that the great body
of farmers, of Nonpartisans, are disloyal,
but there is positive proof that the many
of the leaders are disloyal. Let these
leaders open their mouth and their fol-
lowers will have sense enough to leave
the ranks led by such traitors.
1t is fool proposition to make a
martyr out of traitor.

Barton, the candidate who is running
for congress against Congressman Steen-
erson across the river IN Klttson county,
positively refuses to buy Liberty Bond
according to reports. This is not strange
for it was Townley's doctrine until the

is evidently a deciple of the German

are already serving terms in penitenta-
ries while others are under Indictment.

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

A heavy German drive has been in
progress this week southwest Of the
former drives and has gained enough
ground towards Paris to make another
salient Of about six or eight miles depth.
This salient Is narrow at the point
though begun on q twenty mile front!
About twenty German divisions have
been: engaged. , &
While the Germans gained ground in
the center Of the drive they were unable
to widen the fanks. On the contrary
the British, French and American
troops report gains in counter-assaults
and as we write it appears 40 though
the fourth great attempt Of the Germans
has been definitely checked.
An testimony is the effect that the
Germans have attacked il heavy mess
formation and that wave after wave Of
troops have been STIMULATED and that
the total losses of the Germans have
been vsry great. On the other hand the
Germans claim that they have; taken
1000 prisoners and many guns. NJ.

BOYCOTT As q POLlTI-

p6ItlSUu mootluK ~ tue SlGy ualA IN
response to a direct and personal invita-
ton, after listening to the speaker, q
Mr.. Williams, we started to leave with
the rest Of the audience. AS we neared
the door two men from this locality de.
manded that the writer pay them slx
dollars as an monetary fee" for the use
OF the Nonpartiean party. When we
politely refused, these men said in sub
stance, IF you don't pay then We will
see that you lose all the farmer sub
scriptions to your paper" Mr.. Williams
in his isaddress had never mentioned the
word boycott" but he had said that
farmers should deal with their friends
and not with their enemies. The result
Of his remarks showed at the door as we
were leaving. Neither of the men we're
of average intelligence or education,
neither of them ever had taken the
Pioneer Express but they we're carrying
out Mr.. Williams teaching. As mat
ter OF fact there were but two SUBJ
scribers that followed Mr.. Williams
instructions, but those two were sufi-
cient to prove the impressions left by
the speaker.
This incident is but an illustration OF
the platform and principles of the Nom
partisan leaders. In fact the whole
basis Of the party is founded on the
principle Of the boycott. The one great
difference between this new party and
all other parties is the "close COM
munion" idea. 1t is, that nobody but
genuine farmers shall have any authori-
ty as members. Other people may vote
with them, other people may pay 'shon-
orary dues" but other people are barred
from the caucuses and conventions.
That is. that other people are boycotted
politically from the regular organiza-
ton, and boycotted from holding Office.
1t is also true that the Nonpartlsan
party practically blackmailed the mer-
chants of this city and of many other
cities under the threat of losing the
farmer trade. Unless they put up the
honorary fee" they would be boycotted.
The Nonpartlsan Leader has time and
again called on its readers to boycott
the local weeklies. and its only name for
the weekly press of this state is the
"kept press" with the implication that
every country editor in this state is a
paid agent of the "Big Biz" straw man
with which the Leader scares it's farmer
children to bed every night. Further,
they have gone into the business of
printing local papers with the expressed
intention of running the struggling pub
fishers Of the small towns. Is that
boycott?
And now they have come forward
with cooperative store scheme, with
the idea Of setting up farmer stores to
take the place of the present business
places. which they inferentially if not
positively designate as branches of said
''Blg-biz." All Of which is another form,
of boycott.
AS we said, the whole scheme is politi-
cal and business boycott. All classes of
people are practically declared as bust
ness and political enemies, and only
honest farmers should run things.
In Fargo the business mon have ac-
cepted the challenge and are themselves
applying the boycott on the Nonpartisan

in order to secure a proper educa-
ton. There is an institution at
their very doors which offers the
maximum of opportunity, a college
located in a town exceptionally free
from the temptations which beset
young men in larger places, a col
lege town with an unexcelled eli
mate, and having, too, a population
of the best people on earth.
Those people in Abbeville County
who have sons and daughters to edu-
cate and who seek the course taught
in the average UNCONVENTIONAL col
lege of the South, may we'll consider
the claims of this tried institution.
That the benefits to come to those
who do so will not be disappointing,
we feel sure.
Abbeville County and the city of
Abbeville might well take more in
terest in the college than has been
shown in recent years. 1t is a mat
tr of no small concern for a county
to have within its confines a. good
college town, with a college of
known merit and standing. It is and
should be one of the chief assets
of the county. AS such the county
and the county seat can do worse
than to show an interest in the pro-
gress of the work which it is doing.
More Abbeville boys should attend
Erskine College.

Sunday night, when one attendant

SOUTH CAROLINA CLIMBING.

Charleston.-No longer does
does South Carolina suffer the dis
tinction of being the last of the
states in the sales of War Savings
Stamps, and the improvement in
the Palmetto States standing dur
ing the last two months is encour-
aging to the South Carolina War
Savings Committee no less than to
the various county committees that
have worked so strenuously in the
W. S. S. campaign which ends Dec
ember 81.
The latest report received from
the Treasury Department at Wash
ington show that up to June 20 the
people of South Carolina had in
vested $1,s76,309.45 in W. S. S.
The per capita sales amounted to
$1.15. These figures do not convey
a full report of the sales, as they
represent. the actual cash invested,
and not the face value of the stamps
Furthermore, they are not complete
reports-not as complete as the
weekly reports issued by the COM
mittee.
For several months-through
state had made the worst
showing in the country, but during
May Alabama fell to last place, and
during June Georgia fell below
South Carolina, so that the Palmet-
to State is now third from last. For
the month of June, this State rank
ed A, tying North Carolina with
per capita sales of Acc. Alabama
ranked lowest for the month. The
State of Nebraska has already sold
it's years quota, and has sold more
than double per capita than the Sec
ond unit-the District of Columbia
has sold.
The entire nation, according to
report, had invested $360,151,175.-
20 in W. S. S., which is S3.49 per
capita.
