has been figuring in the limelight dur

all kinds Of charges as to ineff1ciency
of the American army in that wonder
full operation. There were too few
airplanes for the proper protection OF
the men. There was not enough artii-
lery and too few horses to handle what
there was Because of the airplane
shortage and inability to properly d.
rect the fire, many American soldiers
were killed by their own guns. There
were not nearly enough ssretchers for
carrying off the wounded and many OF
the wounded lay on the ground for
from "a to SO hours before they could
be removed, and at times the soldiers
were fighting without ammunition.
The losses were much greater than
they should have been and would have

HERE AND THERE

There have been statements in some
of the papers to the effect that as
many as eighteen thousand Of the au-
tomobiles that were registered last
year still remain without registration
tags. Maybe this Is so, and maybe II
is not; but even If 1t is so we are still
left to wonder If the situation Is really
as 1t would seem. Not long ago atten-
tion was called to a certain car in this
section that was still running a 1918
tag. The owner, when asked about 1t,
promptly produced check that he
had mailed to the state highway COM
mission some time ago, which check
had been paid by the bank before De-

WANTS REPUBLICAN PARTY.
Rock Hill Man Writes Remarkable
Letter to New York World.

Rock Hill Man Writes Remarkable
Letter to New York World.
The following from the New York
World of last Sunday will prove OF
more or less local interest, not only be-
cause the writer is resident OF YORK
county; but because he Is more or less
we'll known throughout the state:
To me it is a source of genuine pleas
ure to note the interest you take In the
south.
The south needs a well organized,
practical and active Republican party
over and above every other need. Our
southland Is too-one sided. Diversity
of opinion it too scarce. Our papers are
practically all Democratic; hence the
south, like a split log, is too one sided
to turn over. To advance is practically
impossible. 1.-THE solid south" Is the
curse of the south. Take this, my own
state-it Is hopelessly In the ruts.
The remedy for our Ills Is IN the
hands of the newspapers of the north
Come down and establish papers mere
right among us that will truly voice
the sentiment of the Republican party,
and thus open to us your columns
for free interchange of thought, for
at present it Is well-nigh impossible
to get into the papers here unless our
views coincide with their political SEN
timent. All of them are Democratic
to degree and as antediluvian as
they are Democratic.
The time for a change here In the
south has come. The people are ready
to advance A wide-awake Republican
daily paper here will help us to ad-
vance as nothing else will. I sincerely
hope you will think seriously of this
and that you may at least be instru-
mental in getting a wide-awake daily
paper, thoroughly Republican in poll
tical sentiment but with open columns
to the masses for free expression Of
opinion, set up in our state at COL
umbia, our capital.
This would be a godsend for South
Carolina. The time is ripe for It; be-
lieve the paper would succeed. The
opportunity is fine. You would have a
tremendous field for rendering a last
ing and beneficial service.

The house Of representatives spent
three hours chasing the yellow dog last
Friday night, caught him and then
turned him loose. The proposition was
to require all dogs to wear collars at

passage Of the bill, several counties
asked for and secured exemption, and
then the friends Of the measure, be-
coming disgusted, jumped on 1t and
killed it. The yellow dog will not be
required yet awhile to wear collar

The most terribly dangerous tenden

The most terribly dangerous tenden-
cy of this day is wasteful extraH agance,
which undermines the character of the
individual and threatens the future of
the country. Waste is moral, as well
as an economic crime, and the most
pitiful and hopeless people we have
are those who are unable to appreci-
ate, or even believe, that there is al
most as much virtue in the proper con-
servation Of material resources as
there is in the conservation Of physi-
cal resources.
