Protest against Both State and Coun-
~ Political Campaigns.

Editor Kcowcc Courier: | believe
that voice the sentiment Of at least
two-thirds OF the voters OF Oconee
county when | raise my voice against
county-to-county political wrangle
and pulllng Of hot air. This is no
time for that. This Is a critical hour
in the worlds history through which
wo are now passing The time for
stump speaking, beating the air, and
saying ugly things has passed; and
for one to attempt it is unpatriotic
and un-Amcrican.
II Il man wants al Office, let him
de lare himself through the press,
put the 'Dco" in his hat and cast his
hat in the ring, aud "still-hunt" for
votes, and shake hands as much as
he plcaScs with tho dear people,; !;
but in the name OF all that is holy,
cut ont all political wrangle and
stump Spatte". State and county
campaigning breeds no good
The United States has gone into
this war to fight to the finish. 1t is
war for humanity, Christianity and
democracy, that the world might be
made free people, and we cannot
have peace with liberty for nothing.
IT must be paid for in blood and
treasure. And our boys-.( say our
boys, for such they are,) are now on
the firing line in France, and it Is our
imperative duty to stand back Of
them and the powers that be. Any
ono who fails to do that, let him be
'anathema maranatha.'
This is according to my thinking.
What say you, gentlemen Of Oconee
county? Am l right? ask your
opinion. J. Russell Wright

Besides the two soldier boys,
other bright boys are coming on,
who no doubt inherit the patriotic
traits and industrious habits of their
ancestors, and some sweet little
girls, whose beauty and Intelligence
bespeak their parentage and training.
Both parents are staunch Presbyte-
rians, believing most strongly in the
education OF the hand, mind and
heart Of their children; and they
have the sacred promise Of Heaven
that such parents will be rewarded
for all their labor and sacrifices, and
the children blessed by Him who
said: Suffer little children to come
unto me, and forbid them not, for of
such is the Kingdom of Heaven"
