sidious species of German propogan-

the American people as an effort to
bolster kaiserism:

Mr.. Cooper said tina the consider
ed it unnecessary for him to make a
statement as to his attitude in this
war, but he reiterated his position
of undivided and answering sup
port of the government in the pros
ecution of the war. He said that it
was the first duty of every patriotic
citizen to lend his entire energies to
the government that victory to Am
erican arms may be the conclusion
of the pomentous conflict in which
America and her allies are now en-
gagged.
Mr.. Cooper was emphatic in his
condemnation of those sinister fore
es which are making for the under
mining of the American peoples

however, he has secured, in addition
to these, two rooms, one of large
size, which would easily swallow
three or four of the others, this new
one being handsolemly equipped with
bevel adge mirrors, chandeliers that
fairly sparkle with brilliance, and
furniture, the equal of which no
committee room in congress can
boast. In a word, the new addition
to the senator's quarters is most
magnificent in appointment.
Proud as he is, however, of the
bevel mirrors, the sparkling chan
deliers or the magnificent furniture
that 60 to make up the equipment of
this new committee room, Senator
Tillman's real new pleasure comes
when he makes his visitors ac-
quainted with two young ladies from
South Carolina. Miss Rembert and
Miss Weikert. These young ladies,
the senator explained today, will not
supplant the man power force al
ready in his Office, but they will fill
much needed want in helping to
work off the big daily mail that
accumulates on the senator's desk.
eyes, sir" Senator Tillman said
today with all of his old time fire,
"these young ladies just insisted
that they had to have all these new
things if they were to work for me,
so knowing they would get them in
the end I set about to have more
room and now you see all these fine
new things, the girls have put in.
I reckon it will be a small sized
palace when they get done fixing it
up, and then it would be none too
good for them. They are fine girls
and need fine things"
All of these evidences of renewed
activity on Senator Tillman's part
leave no room to doubt that in his
own mind he has settled the ques-
ton as to whether or not he will
retire from the political arena of
South Carolina. He who runs may

Mr.. Cooper said that he would en-

adoption of ar. educational program
which would enlarge the field of op-
erations and usefulness of all Of the

COOPER. ON THE SITUATION.
No Middle Ground Says the Next
Governor.

"There is no middle ground for
an American citizen in this war; he
is either for or against the govern
ment," is the emphatic way in which
Robert A. Cooper, of Laurens, cam
didate for governor, described yes
terday the attitude of every citizen
toward the government in this war
when discussing political conditions
in South Carolina.
Mr.. Cooper, who is spending a
few days in Columbia, said that
South Carolina should not, even dur
ing the period of the war, submerge
the cause of education, as it is para
mount above all other issues. Mr..
Cooper at this time did not discuss
the political phases of any other
problem confronting the State, mere
ly saying that these problems would
be developed during the, course of
the political campaign next summer.
When asked if he had any views
to give to the people of South Caro-
lima, Mr.. Cooper said that he had no
especial statement to make at this
time. "The one paramount issue
not only in South Carolina but in
America until the end Of the war is
the undertaking direction of our
energies, our resources and our man
power to the successful termination
of the war. Even in a political
campaign, we should keep this matter
prominently before our people to
the: end that we may have a more
thorough Understanding of the issues
involved, and while we are making
the world safe for democracy we
must make democracy safe for the
world"

SENIOR SENATOR

Tillman Moves Into Magnificent
Quarters With Bevel Edge Mirror
and Shining Chandelier.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Benjamin
Ryan Tillman, the "pitchfork" sena-
tor from South Carolina, is not to
retire from the senate. He has been
''ere for more than 20 years and is
likely to be here many more years,
from present indications, despite
that the woods of the Palmetto
State are full of candidates chewing
on their political bits.

State both as governor and as sena-
tor, in the latter place for almost
a quarter ia century, he might
qquiet the hurly-buruly of politics
and retire to his big arces of cotton
and his asparagus fields at home,
there were many who were specu-
lating who would succeed him. They
reckoned that this big South Caro-
line senator would have big hole
to fill and that it would take a
mighty big man to do it, But they
believed he had seen enough of pub
lie life and would be satisfied with
what he had already done since
taking up the governorship Of South
Carolina many years ago.
From present indications the SEN

not going to retire any time soon.
The best indication that there. will

THE PRICE OF WOOD.

Someone told us few days ago
that the price of wood was around
twelve dollars per cord on the Alb
beville market. The fuel admins
tration has seen fit to limit the pro-
fits on coal. The profits now being
made on coal are not all that the
law allows but they are reasonable.
If the price of coal is to be fixed
by the fuel administrator and coal
dealers are to be indicted for ex-
tortion, we do not see why the or
der should not extend to those SELL
ing wood.
A great many people burn wood
entirely and are dependent on the
amount brought to the market by
those who make a business Of sell
ing it. These people should not be
allowed to rob these needy people
because the supply of wood and coal
are so low that the people are COM
PEELED to buy from them.
The fuel administration should
get in behind these wood-sellers and
make them toe the mark.
