GERMANY WILL SIGN.

There is little left to be done to
complete the licking OF Germany, =
task we set upon April 6, 1917. It's
all over. over there The peace
treaty Will be signed; President
Wilson is on his way home, and the
job is finished.
The entry OF America into the war
is a matter that history will perhaps
record at lenath There will be a
diversion OF opinion as to whether
the entry was backed by selfish or
unseIash motives, but there will be
few to argue that it was unnecessary.
The existence of the people Of this
nation was at stake, and from this
view. the entry was selfish Some
newspapers argue that we went to
war from wholly unseliish motives;
others argue that We went to war
from wholly selfish motives in self
defense. President Wilson said on
June IA 1917:
1T is plain enough how we were
forced into the war The extraor-
binary insults and aggressions Of the
: Imperial German government left us
no sclf-respec'SSg choice but to take
up arms in defense of our rights as

statement Of the president, it would
seem we went to war for selfish rea-
sons, in defense of our rights as a

AS TO A SENATOR.

1t will be necessary to call an cleo
ti"n to fill the vacancy in the state
senate caused by the death Of Sena-
tor Hough, Of Lancaster county. 1t
will be the business Of the next gen.
eral assembly to ratify the suffrage
amendment and to provide for good
roads in South Carolina. In the
selection of successor to
the lamented Senator Hough,
these two issues should be upper
most in the minds of the voters. AS
to the latter practically every man
has come to be an advocate of good
roads and if this was the only quail
tication, the place might easily be
filed. The suffrage amendment will
be ratified by three-fourths of the
state. and the women of South Caro-
lima will be granted the right of suf-
fragc whether or not the gene al as
scmbly of South Carolina ratifes it.

Short Items OF Interest Gathered
Here, There and Everywhere.

Common and agricultural labor In
South Carolina is still short despite
an apparent decrease in the de-
mand. Men at Camp Jackson are
needed but not TO such an extent as
month ago. Farm laborers are
needed practically all over the state
and industrial plants are also calling
for men. John L. Davis, federal di-
rector Of labor for South Carolina,
says that the demand for all kinds
OF laborers was decreasing and he
looked for an equilibrium between
the supply and demand before the

while American people are COM

what it means to have high prices
