Just Occurred To Her

A child's prayer has long been cell
ebrated in song and story. Prayers
from the youthful lips of faith have
ever appealed to mankind. There are
few so hardened as not to be moved
by such prayers, or remember with
awe their own lisping of Now I lay
me down to sleep"
Children also, in their innocence.
sometimes say prayers which are not
without their humorous side. and
these. too. have been handed down to
posterity. In this latter class be-
longs the following true account of
the prayer of n little girl who lives
just on the other side of the District
line in Maryland.
Little Lois was completing her
evening prayer at her mothers knee.
Amen finished Lois, and then,
without a pause:
Mamma. has the Lord got a bald
head like daddy ?"-Washington Star.

IN A CITADEL OF PROHIBITION

The voting in the contest for Unit
Cd. States senator discloses that
charges and counter-charges about
the roll calls to which Senator
Smith answered or did not answer
and the criticisms of Mr.. Warren's
course in the General Assembly were
brushed aside as of no Importance
when the ballots were prepared.
Everybody knows that in the SEN
ate Mr.. Smith has truly represented
overwhelming opinion of the people
Of South Carolina, that he 'toed the
mark" invariably in supporting the
Wilson administration and it's policies
in war and peace and that no sub
stantial ground of complaint, none
touching any question of large i'm
port, was found against him.
In the same way, everybody knows
that as a member of the lower house

THE PRIMARY.

AS long as we hold to the primary
as means of selecting our public
officers, it should be the desire of all
people to see that the rules adopted
for it's conduct are followed. There
is a disposition on the part of all of
US, at times, to relax the rules adopt
ed by the party. This should not be
the case.
In this connection, we call atten-
tion to the fact that the booths not
only provided for by the rules of the
party, but required by the law ap-
plicable to all primaries, were not
erected in Abbeville Tuesday for the
convenience of the voters.
We believe this provision of the
law is most salutary. 1t was adopted
for the purpose of allowing every
voter to go to place of privacy to
prepare his ballot. 1t also makes it
impossible for the voter to get a
ticket and then allow it to be prepar-
ed by someone else. 1t thus promotes
Individual choice in the selection of
candidates. 1t discourages all at
tempts to purchase elections.
Another requirement of the law
which is not carried out always is
the provision for the sealing of the
Eoxes Immediately after the votes
":e counted, and the keeping of these
boxes under seal until the county ex-
ecutive committee meets. Frequently
the managers of election pay no at
tention to this requirement., and as
frequently unauthorized persons
open the boxes seeking information.
1t is easy to see that were some
one disposed to stuff ballot box this
would furnish an easy means of do
ing so. Not many people desire to
do this. But often there are close
races, few votes telling the tale one
way or the other. When anybody is
allowed to look into the boxes and
&c through them seeking information
vote may be lost or misplaced here
and there which might cause the re-
suit to be in doubt in many cases.
At some places the people will not
Meet to organize their clubs, and in
others the officers do not give elec-
tion matters any concern. Sometimes
the managers of election fail to send
in the boxes containing the votes as
they are required to do. There are
other irregularities which might be
mentioned.
These irregularities are not pecu-
liar to this year. They have been 60
ing on long time. AS matter of
experience we know that if they are
not stopped other irregularities will
creep in and after awhile the integ-
rity of the primary will be in serious
question.
There is no way to save this unfor-
tunate condition except to obey the
rules. The County Chairman cannot
look after everything. The managers
of election should see that the booths
are prepared for all elections. They
should see that the boxes are sealed,
and the votes forwarded. AS far as
they are able all officers should un.
dertake to see that all laws and rules
pertaining to the primary are strict
ly enforced.

To Whom 1t May Concern:
For IS years l have suffered with
constipation, kidney and bladder trou-

many noted physicians, tried numbers
of patent medicines; received little or
no relief. l had almost given up in
despair for a cure. But by chance
one day two years ago a sample bot
tie of Moore's Vigorine was handed
me. l tried it and found great i'm
provement from the first few doses.
l then bought a bottle and took it with
still more marked improvement, until
now l feel that l am entirely well. l
suffer from neither of the three all
ments. Instead of that sluggish,

Financial Loss Due to Colds

1t is estimated that the average man
looses three days time each year from
inability to work on account of having
a cold. Much of this loss can be avoid
ed by treating every cold as soon as
the first symptoms of the disease ap.
pear. Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
has won wide reputation and i'm
mense sale by its cures of this dis
ease. Try it. You are certain to be
pleased with its pleasant taste and the
prompt relief which it affords.

Grip

Grip usually starts just the same as
a cold with watery discharge from
the nose. You are much more likely
to contract the grip when you have
cold. For that reason when grip is
prevalent you should go to bed as
soon as you feel that you are taking
cold and stay in bed until fully re-
covered which should not be long if
you take Chamberlain's Cough REM
edy. Three days in bed now is better
than three weeks later on.
