when Senator Dial says that he is
informed that under previous admins
trations the referee in this state sold
patronage, / suppose he means Re-
publican administrations and If he
does, the Republican administrations
were represented in South Carolina by
other Republicans than myself. The
last referees in this state were the late
John G.. Capers and A. d. Webster.
These Republicans will have to answer
Senator Diars charges. | had no say
Whatsoever in the matter of patronage
when these two men were in charge or
this state. have had the power to
make recommendations only since the
18th day of last March and deny any
charges that l have accepted any
money or any promise from any ap-
plicant for office If any county chair
man has been guilty of taking even
one dollar FOR his recommendation to
me, it has been without my knowledge
or consent and would not counten-
ancc any such thing if l knew it.
No Such Thing Happened. .
81 deny any instance of where any
man paid $1,000 to get an office and
then had to use threats to get his
money back when he failed to get the
office. No. such thing ever happened
in the state in any office l had any
thing to do with.
81 am not party to any office buy
ing and il is very unfair to me fo'
Senator Dial to- rush into the papers
with such charges with no facts to
base his charges on.
"As to George d. Shore of Sumter,
there is no such organization as the
Sumter Republican club. He is the
club and he is sore because l would
not recommend him 10 be postmaster
at Sumter I recommended Demo-
crat first and Shore tried to go over
my head and get it anyhow, because
he had influential relatives in Wash

"He tried to haves his sci, George
d. Shore; named as district attorney
for the Eastern district and l named
Mai. j. D. E. Meyer, veteran of the
World war. That is why Mr.. Shore
is trying to discredit me. He is the
Republican club of Sumter. L have
letters today telling me what Mr..
Shore is up to all by himself.
81 do not need the office Of United
States marshal for the Western dist
rict of South Carolina. President
Harding gave me the appointment
without my asking for it. l feel that
| owe it to him as well as myself that
| defend myself against such charges
as have been made against me. The
attacks being made on me are being
inspired by Republicans who have lost
out in this state.
Their faction is the one which put
out mixed electoral ticket in the last
election. The Tolbert ticket was COM
posed of white men exclusively. The
DrmocTatic~ papers of South CaEollInaa a
persistcntly overlook this fact. All l
want is to be fair. 1 can take care of
myself in court or otherwise.

Moscow school children, making
plays, have adapted Tom Sawyer in an
uproarious manner. Rather raggedy
themselves they make a hero out of
raggedy Tom. Other plays adapted
were Mowgli adapted from the best
story of all in Kipling's Jungle Book;
The Nightingale, made from the story
in Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy

Nine. Henriette Paskar-Lieberman
of Petrograd, founded the child thea

best in a world where all is simple
but the sky the limit in imagination.
Nothing is impossible to children"

Nine. Paskar believes that children

to be real center of education it
must throw all lights on the world

VIII The British Empire Survive!

This question is being asked by
Englishmen and also being answered.
In our opinion British policy shows 2
remarkable ability to fall down, re-
bound and land in standing position.
Mahatma Ghandi seems to be settled
in India along with his non-resistance
policy English policy ahead Of
French policy seems to be slowly
caring for the German situation. Eng
land lost in Turkey but avoided war.
After civil war and assassination in
Ireland, the situation there is Clarity
ing. AS time goes on England is gath
ering strength and it seems as though
the empire will survive.

Let Them Keep Out.

At banquet in Brussels the other
night, at which rare vintages flowed
like water world wide fight on pro-

was staged. The object is to bring
dry peoples back into the wet fold.
That interests hoping to renew good
markets now cut off were behind the
love FEAST, goes without saying.
In our opinion America is dry but
not "bone dry" We believe the peo-
| pie here favor temperance and a more
liberal Interpretation of the 18th
amendment. The present situation
| causes deep dissatisfaction.

that we are able to settle our domes-
tic affairs without the aid of wealthy

sire to make money smacks of imper.

ious, but because the case has not
been stated plainly to the voter.
One amendment refers in few
words to sheriff's succeeding them
selves. This is clear enough and
stands on its merits. The other
amendments relate, one to an affirma-
tive vote of ten out of twelve jurors in
a civil case carrying a verdict, and the
other to allowing municipalities to
raise their maximum bonded indebted
ness to ten per cent of the valuation
instead of five as at present.
All constitutional amendments not
stated in clear and certain terms upon
the ballot what the voter wants TIC
know should be voted down.
Whoever frames the wording on
these ballots is either, ignorant, stupid
or altogether too crafty. In any case
the trainers of constitutional ballots
deserve repeated rebukes until they
learn to be fair and open.

FRIENDLINESS

Ask any man, who has made sue
cess, what are the best tools of &C
complishment He will tell you
Study and Hard Work.
Yet one of the most effective tools
of accomplishment is at the same time
of the most agreeable to namely,
Friendliness.
In the final analysis most of the big
successes in life are through opera
ton with human nature-through CO.
operation, since, with the possible ex-
ception of invention, most progress
and production are group PROPOSE
tions.
And the greatest mover of group
is friendliness.
Friendliness would cure the world
of its troubles.
Friendliness is reciprocating tool
when you use it with another there
is a reaction in your own favor.
F'riendliness is easier to use, once
you catch the idea Of it, than to dis
card, to get along without.
Friendliness is a method of inspired
thinking-it comes from the soul.
1t can be expressed by the voice,
but this is by no means sure proof.
Friendliness can best be cultivated
by getting the you" point of view
and forgetting the "T' as dominant
factor.
In short, "the other fellow" is the
principal figure in friendliness.
Friendliness is the begetter of SER
vice. 1t is a seeker after opportunity
to help.

A Certain Wise Rich Man.

John d. Rockefeller Jr., in pro-

Pennsylvania, when he chided the
operators for their unsympathetic and

County Board Problems.

The Grant County Board holds it's
annual meeting next week with the
usual budget work and few matters
of policy to dispose of. One is an en-
dorsement of the state highway COM
missions plan to greatly increase the
tax on motor vehicles to make up for
federal aid not obtainable. The board
should consider this very carefully
and as to whether or not the plan
would prove popular with the citizens
most of whom drive motor cars or
trucks. Another matter will be the
unemployment of a county agent and
possibly of a county nurse. The board
should consider these carefully also
and decide whether or not dropping
the offices would be a step backward
rather than a step forward. To our
mind county board member should
keep his ear close to his constituency
and be governed in his vote by what
he thinks the people of his bailiwick
want rather than what the state CAPT
tai wants. Discussion of home affairs
may be less weighty than foreign
politics but from a local standpoint it
is infinitely more important
