Dead Fall School.

The Dead Fall school taught the
past session by Miss Dorothy Bush
ardt had its closing exercises Tues
dav afternoon. Miss Miss Bushardt is a
fine teacher and had carried some OF
fhe nupiIs through the 7th grade and
they showed careful and painstak-
ing raining And at meeting OF
tie patrons Tuesday afternoon they
recommended to the trustees that
they reflect Miss Bushardt for an
other school year at an increase in
salary.
And they also recommended that a
tax be voted of four mills in addi-
ton % the two mills now levied.
The following program was carried
out and at the request of the teacher

One of the best things we have seen
on the war discussion is a paragraph
from Frank Stanton's column in the
Atlanta Constitution It reads:
''We hear a lot of talk about how
to win the war The best thing we
know of to win it is to get you q
good repeating gun, get on the front
line and use the gun. That beats
all your cheap talk. We know, be-
cause We have tried it,
And here is another chunk Of good
stuff in the same connection:
When the Lord made man He
made him out of clay. set him up by
The wall to dry and was to- come back
later and put brains in him; but when
He returned, a lot of them had gone
off without any brains. And darn
sight of them are loose here with us
yet-those that walked off without
brains

Mr. w. p. Pollock who was elected
president of the State convention is
evidently one of those get together
and lay aside factionalism statesmen
Of whom the editor of the Yorkville
Enquirer wrote: Let's get together.
You give up all your aspirations for
political preferment, surrender your
judgment and conscience to me. and
let me do your thinking for you. III
hold the office, control the patronage,
represent the prestige and leave you
to come when when you are sent for.
Yes, it's up to you only. Let's get
together" And it is ''the other fell
low who is the demagogue. I'm the
statesman. It's my privilege to cuss
and abuse You must be meek and
humble and lowly and come only
when you are sent for" Unless we
are badly mistaken there will be
trouble in the Old land if Mr.. Pollock
continues the kind of undignifed use
of the English language during the
summer that he induldeg himself II
at the State convention.
This is time when we want to see
the people get together, and when
there should be unity of purpose and
action, but we utterly fail to see how
you are going to get the people to-
gether by abusing every one who may
not agree with you.

THE AMERICANS CREED:

Il believe in the United States
of America as a government of
the people, by the people, for the
people; whose just powers are
derived from the consent of the
governed; democracy in a re-
public; a. sovereign nation of
many sovereign states; perfect
Union, one and inseparable; es-
tablished upon those principles
of freedom, equality, justice
and humanity for which Ameri-
can patriots sacrificed their
lives and fortunes.
"I therefore believe it is my
duty to my country to love it,
to support its constitution, to
obey it's laws, to respect its flag
and to defend it against all
enemies"

CLOSING EXERCISES
SILVERSTREET SCHOOL

Somehow l have felt a personal in
terest and a personal pride in the
school at Silverstreet. l had some
thing to do with the building of the
school house and its location and thu
purchase Of the lot and the voting
of the tax for the maintenance and
the establishment of the school anl
l can not but help feel personal in
trest in seeing the school succeed.
And somehow the teachers who have
been there have been little partial
and | have been invited to take part
in nearly all of the closing exercises
of the school.
At the time became county su-
perintendent OF education there was
no school building in the district.
though the trustees did own lot the
title to which was somewhat condi-
toned upon the building of school
house on it, The people had been
very much divided in their school
matters and during the short time
that I held the Office we managed 10
buy "a lot and erect a $4,000 school

( G0UD RULE.


One of the rules adopted by the
Democratic convention in Columbia
should have the endorsement OF all
true democrats We refer to the
new rule which will require all vot-
ers to swear that they did not vote
against the nominees Of the parts
in the General Election in November
1917. Q916 we suppose it means.)
The men declared nominated by
the party machinery were the demo-
cratic candidates. Any candidate
aggrieved at the decision of the Of
ficers of the party so decreeing had
right to contest their decisionn be-
fore the courts Failing to do so,
it was the duty Of all democrats to
accept the verdict No man had a
right to try the case before him
self, and give his own decision on
whether or not the nominations had
been regularly made, anG still claim
to be a part of the democratic
party.
We think we clipped the above from
the Spartanburg Journal, or it may
have been the Greenwood Journal
Sorry we can not give the proper
credit.
The rule may be a good one, but
we would be inclined to invite the
stray sheep back into the fold even
if they were temporarily lost. You
recall how the good Book talks about
the one sheep that had gone astray
and was lost and then the ninety and
nine that had not gone away but
were already saved and so no. But, we
were wondering why the convention
made the rule apply only to 1915.
How about those democrats who
strayed off and voted for Palmer and
Buckner in 1896, and those who voted
for DR.. Sampson Pope in 1894, and
those good democrats who voted
for General A. C. Haskell in
1890 Some of the are still
liviling and some of them had
something to do with the max
ing of this rule and applying it
to the 1916 election. In fact some OF
those who are now taking up the
fight for Senator Tillman were among
those who bolted his nomination il
1890 and voted for Haskell. We
this was time when we
wanted all our people to get together,
and to undertake to drive some Of
them out of the party is not good
ctort We thinl, we saw where one
paper wanted to exclude every one
who was ~nt in fcvnr Of this country
geing into war. Well, politics not only
makes queer bed fellows. but causes
some people to take queer positions,
The whirligig of time brings Tillmau
back, not into the house of his old
friends. but right into the arms and
caresses of those who when he began
his career fought him to the extent
of bringing out ticket against him.
And then some of his one time friends
and those he made what they have in
politics are now gone astray and
fondling Mr.. Lever into the notion
that he could be elected and they
never loved Lever much before, that

So far as we are concerned we have
always stuck to the nominees and
have eaten our crow like a nice little
man should do.

Holland with an Increase of seven
ty per cent. showed the smallest in

Denmark next with the increase of
about eighty per cent.
Sweden, England. France. Spain

The people of the district and the
