S27O Note Held in Trust.

A warrant has been sworn out
for Jno. T. Duncan, candidate for

complaint was made by J.. W. Wes-
singer. The warrant reads as fol-
lows:
"Whereas, complaint has been
made by J. W. Wessinger that at

Duncan did commit breach of trust
by converting to his W use the
greater part of $500 in cash in

a result of the meeting a campaign
has been made in the city for men,
bers of the Limit Club. A goodly
number have been added to those
who had already subscribed for the
full amount allowed one subscriber,
and a considerable sum has been
added to the sales already made.
The present campaign comes to a
close on 28th. There is still time
for some of those who have not
done what they should to come for
ward and do their full duty. Five
hundred and eighty thousand dol
lars is a considerable sum of money
to be raised in Abbeville County,
but the amount can be raised If ev-
ery man and every women who is
able to invest in the government
securities does what he is able. Will

This town held a War Savings

raise four thousand dollars. Things
didn't move fast at the beginning
and a negro named G.. S. MINI

buy a. thousuand dollars worth.
Then his wife stood up and said
she would take the same amount,

STILES NJ. BRUNSON
WINS DECORATION
South Carolina. Boy Does Daring
Deed on Italian Front and is
Honored.

The following taken from the
Roanoke, Va, Times tells of the
deed of a South Carolina boy, Stiles
Mellichamp Brunson, a native of
Orangeburg:
"When Stiles Mellichamp Brun-
son-"Slim," as we called him-quit
the news desk of The Times Is
months ago and departed for the
other side to drive a Red Cross am
bulance at the Western front this
newspaper editorially predicted that
good things would be heard of him
in time. The prediction, like some
others that this newspaper has had
occasion to make, has been verified.
Word has been received that Brun-
son, who is now a lieutenant and
commands a Red Cross section on
the Italian front, has been decorat-
ed by the Italian government for
conspicuous gallantry in action. The
specific achievement which won him
his decoration was that of going in
under heavy fire and bringing back
safely. % wounded soldiers. The
news, by the way, did not come
from Brunson, but from a mutual
friend cover there" A letter from
Brunson himself contains a small
kodak picture with only his refer
ence. Enclosed picture shows the

ARE THEY SINCERE?

There are some people in all the
counties who are against war, they
say. They shed copious tears in
their talk about the men who are
to lose their lives overseas. 1t is
the lament of their lives that so
many men must 60 never to return.
The fact is that there is but one
way to cut down the casualty list,
and that is to subscribe to the gov
eminent loans. The sooner the
government has the money to prose-
cute the war, the o vigorously
it will be prosecuted, the sooner it
viii. end, and the smaller will be the
casualty list.
But the men who cry about the
blood that is to be shed have sub
scribed but little to the government
loans. The fact that they do so
little to cut down the number of
men who must make the supreme
sacrifice causes us to suspect that
they are not. sincere. ....

HOW MUcH DID HE WANT?

Speaking. again about cutting
down taxes, we note that candidate
McLaurin is in favor of lower taxes.
But in order to have lower taxes
it is necessary that some of the Of
fees now existing be abolished, and
that some of the appropriations now
made be discontinued. Our re~collec-
ton is that Mr.. McLaurin held one
of the newest of the created offices,
and that the amount of %appropria-
lions which he asked from the legis-
to run his Office, had they
been granted, would have added
like another mill to state
taxes.

USELESS OFFICES.

Candidate Richards is one of the
men who is making a great cry in
this campaign about high taxes. He
thinks that taxes may be reduced by
cutting out some of the useless Of
fees. What about the office of Rail
road Commissioner? In our judg-
ment it has done as little for the
public as any office ever. created by
the legislature considering the
money which the railroads have
contributed to it, maintenance,
which money, in the end, the people
have paid. /

HIGH TAXES.

We are among. those who believe
in lower taxes. But those people
who believe in lower taxes should
be able to show us how we may
have lower taxes, and they should
not seek to make capital out of the
fact that it now takes a great deal
of money to run the state and it's
affairs without offering a remedy
for the state of things. It is evil
dent that in order to reduce taxes
we must do away with some of the
offices which we now have and that
some of the appropriations now
made by the legislature must be dis
continued We have in the past adj
vocated certain measures which we
believe would help in some respects
along this line.
Some of the candidates for Gov
ernor are making spread-eagle
speeches on lower taxes. What we
would like to hear from these lower
tax advocates, at this time, is the
measures which they propose in or
der to accomplish the desired re-
suit. Do they propose to discon-
;tinue appropriations for Clemson
College, or for Winthrop, or for
the University? Do they propose
to discontinue the High School ap-
preparations, or the appropriations
for the country schools? They do
not propose to discontinue the ap-
preparations for the old soldiers,
they say that themselves, rather
they propose to increase the appro-
priations for this purpose (and why
may they not, do the old soldiers
not vote?) Do they propose to pay
themselves, if elected to Office, a
smaller salary than the salary now,
provided by law? Where will they
apply the pruning knife?
They do not propose to lower
taxes at all. A man who complains
of taxes, and is unable to say where
he expects to remedy conditions,
and what taxes he proposes to dis
continue, and at the same time ad-
vocates an increase in pensions and
higher salaries for school teachers,
and money for other things he
thinks pleases the people, is not
really in favor of lowering taxes.
He takes the people to be fools, and
hopes to deceive them by specious
talk. He does not believe what he
himself says. There are many things
which might be done to lower
taxes. The legislature is making
appropriations year after year for
this and the other purpose which
might be discontinued in our judg-
ment, but what the people would
like to know is which of these APP
preparations these lower tax candi-
dates are in favor of di~scontinuing.
Unless they can specify, the peo-
pie may be sure that they are not
in favor of lower taxes. What they
r after is office. When they get
in they will blame the legislature
for not lowering the taxes. And
taxes will not be lowered. We have
lived long enough to know that
taxes never get any lower. They
will get higher from year to year,
if the people still demand that the
government provide all the things
for the public it has been providing.
You must either be against some of
the things the government is pro-
viding, OF you are in favor of higher
taxes.

PEACE BY NEGOTIATIONS.

Fletcher w. Sites contributes the following TO the
North American Reviews War Weekly:
Peace by negotiations? Do not disturb me. I am

OF flaming Louyain and its bloody shameless
Of the Ss7 civilians shot bayoneted in the
of Brabant, Belgium;
OF Dnant, France. and its sos inhabitants ranging
from weeks to - murdered by the gentle ex
ponents of Kultur.
Peace by negotiations? thinking:
OF the Canadian officers and turned into manacs
by the first gas attack Ypres in 1915;
OF the young Italian officers with threats cut and
hanging hooks in the butchers shops in venetia.
Peace by negotiations? I thinking:
OF Belgian babes skewered bayonets midst the
cheers of marching Germans;
OF the homes of murdered little ones whitening the
plains of Poland There children in Poland

OF Italian boys and girls forced TO march before the
German troops in allies would not dare
fire
Peace by negotiations? I thinking
OF gentleeyed Edith Cavell facing superb
Prussian firing squad in the light of early dawn
OF sturdy Captain Fryatt, dared resist a sub
marine, murdered edition Of frightfulness;
Of the bomb dropped from the Hun arplane into the
English school and the twenty-five mangled little
forms scattered amidst the ruins
Peace by negotiations? am thinking:
OF the bodies of whiterobed American women and
babes from the stricken Lusitania washing up the
OF peaceful neutrals wetering in their blood on the
deck of the cross-channel steamer Sussex;
OF the captured crews set adrf perish with
water.
Peace by negotiations I thinking:
OF Red Cross hospitals bombarded from the air;
OF dozen hospital ships torpedoed the dark and
the cries of drowning Red Cross nurses;
OF the Russian prisoner who had tuberculosis placed
with other prisoners affected with troubles in
order that the latter might contract the plague
Peace by negotiations? l thinking:

There is only one law and that is my law"
