Passing Of the Vulgar Rich.

than we can possibly make any use
Of. We hear far more often than we
used to Of men declaring themselves
satisfied with moderate fortune
which they can really enjoy. The nou-
veau richie is a disappearing genus
at least on this side OF the water. /

"and agree upon a plan" The
Bolsheviki will ~disapprove, no doubt,
but are we to murder Russia to
avoid offending the B~olsheviki? Are
we to give up the future of the
world-and it's past, the democratic
past it has slowly created out of
the centuries-to protect the sacred
Bolsheviki from annoyance? Is his
tory to say that the democratic
hope of the ages was slain by Ger
many and the Allies; by Germany
with a sword in her hand, and by
the Allies with a fat, Micawberesque
c%omplacency that ~eternally hoped
something would turn up and there
to kill democracy with the sword
fore did nothing at all? Is Germany
and the Allies to kill with watchful
waiting?-The New York Times.

located in Argyle, N. Y, where
many of his descendants still live.
The brothers who came to South
Carolina all married and the rela-
tionship became numerous. They
mostly remained in South Carolina
until 1914, when some went to
Ohio. Between 1880 and 1910 large
colonies of Fosters went north to
Ohio, Indi+na and Illinois.
James C. Foster married Jane
Morrow in 1880 in Abbevile county.
He was known as "Old Master Fos-
ter" His children were six boys and
two girls, namely James, Samuel,
John, Isabel, Alexander, Mary Fos-
ter, Thomas and William.
Desired, any information of this
family, especially Revolutionary
service of any of the Foster names"
These young men settled around
Cedar Springs Church, some of them
among the founders of that church.
Many of their descendants r liv-
ing in the families of McCaslans,
McLanes, McMillans, McKissicks,
Bradleys, Morrows, Widemans, Mar
shalls, Morris, McCombs, Presslys,
Barnwells and many others.
Tradition tells US the first settlers
named this part of the county Long
Cane on account of the tall luxuri-
ant growth of the long canes to be
found on the streams nearby.
This is a mistake, I read a letter
not long ago-w1;tten by John and
Mary Foster from their home in
Ireland to their sons in America.
This letter was directed to the care
of Maj. Andrew Hamilton, Granville
Province, in which they requested
their sons to name their new home
in America for thu old home in
Ireland, where they were born, the
name was Lounge Keine, which
has for years drifted into Long
Cane.
And nov the stately canes that
have so long claimed the honor of
naming the "garden spot" of Able
Vile County, must bow their heads
and yield this honor to the "Old
Country" +. ). M.

county war savings committees are
being prepared to conduct the forth
coming intensive campaign during
the two weeks from June IA to
June 20. As the official proclama-
tons Of President Wilson and the
Governor have served to bring be-
fore the people the grave import
ance of the war savings movement.
it is believed that the men and wo-
men will respond in a way that will
justify the most sangdine expecta-
lions of the state officials.
Through ~curtailing needless pur-
chases, and lending the money in
stead to the government, the ma
tons purchasing powers are trans
ferred to the government, who will
thus be able to buy whatever is
needed for the army and navy; and
it is believed that the people of the
state will sign the wal savings
pledge c~heerfully, owillingly-and
gratefully.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETS

:. The Democratic Executive Cow
mittee met in the Office Of the
County Chairman, on Monday 10th,
inst, to make preparations for the
approaching primary elections. En-
rolling committees we're appointed
for all the clubs in the different
precincts. Voters under the law
will enroll with these committees or
they will not be allowed to vote. A
notice will appear shortly fully out
lining the duties of the committee
and of those people who hope to
participate in the elections.
1t was decided to, hold campaign
meetings at the following points, the
dates o be fixed later: Due West,
Lowndesville, Antreville, Calhoun
Falls and Abbeville.
The assessments against candi-
dates were fixed as follows:
For state senator, $1,000. ...
For House of Representatives,
$3.50. 49,.
For Judge of Probate, Auditor
and Treasurer, each, $500.
For Magistrates, when salary is
less than $4,000, assessment is
$1.0O, when salary $4,000 and
not more than 5000, the assessment
is $500. When the salary is more

GETTING READY.

The elections are a long way off
and the people are busy with other
matters. Unless there is a change
in the way people are looking at
things the people r going to give
elections less thought this year than
they have in years past.
That does not mean that people
should be unmindful of their duties,
however. The people owe it to the
country to vote as well as to fight.
The one duty is as imperative as the
other if the country is to be kept
safe for the people.
The Democratic Party has pro-
vided for the enrolment of all vot-
ers. Indeed, the State of South
Carolina has provided that no man
may vote in the primary elections
of his party unless he is duly en-
rolled. The enrolment books are
now open. The officers of the club
to which each voter belongs will be
able. to direct him to the place for
registration. Unless a voter is reg
istered by the last Tuesday in July
he cannot vote.
Those persons who are interested
in matters should register now and
have others do so. There is never a
doubt but that unworthy men will
be registered. Our task is to see
that every patriot, be he rich or
poor, is regarded and entitled to
vote, in order that the men who
have the interest Of the country at
heart may rule, So register today.
