Judging by the lies that have been told, the prejudicial arguments that have been used, and the personaliiits that have beeu ir.dt'lged in during this campaign, politics continue to be rotten. Issues still count for uaueht. Supposedly intelligent citizens are op posed to one candidate because he parts his hair i:i the middle, contrary to time-honored custom; others re fuse to support one of the three guber natorial candidates because he hap pens to be a lawyer; some accuse a candidate of being a slacker because he refused to become a candidate for re-election to Congress a vear before war was declared; and not a few take pleasure in circulating a report, which they cannot verify, that so-and-so cannot obtain 25 cents worth of cred it in his home town. These are only a few of the standards by which hun dreds of people are measuring the three aspirants for the gubernatorial nomination, one of whom is certain to be the next Chief Executive of the State. No wonder the word "poli tics" has become od'us to clean thinking men! MR. MOORE ItAIN ttM'A COLA AMI t KiARETTES MonrtH' Minister, In AiMivm to ('In. ver (ir.iilu.ithm flas l'ige Clean Living. ' 1 would almost as leave a man should leach my buy to drink block ade liipior as to teach hh;i to smoke cigarettes or drink coca-col.!," declar ed Kcv. John W. Mooie, pastor of Central Methodist church, in ait ad dress which he deliveied Monday ev ening before the M'aduaiiug class of the Clover. S. C. high school. An ao coi;nt of his addrtss, as reported by the Clover corresiKiiident of the Yorkville Kniiiirer. follows: "1 v a it you bovs and g'rls and peo ple generally to stop looking o:i the world as a bia douuhnnt with a hole in it," declared Rev. Join V. Moore who was Introduced by Superintend ent Koon "as a real self made man well known to most of you." Before beginning his addrtss, lir. Moure re queued his laice audience to stand and sing n stanza of "America." which the ntiuiciic did with .:e-t and zeal. His address w:t n:i r'p".l to his young hei'.ivrs t'l.d ins ;m; ! i i.iv -erally to l-urn how to think. There are he said, some people win can't think and wh.i never told a thought. Learn to do something-, h advised. Get some power from somewhere to think. I heurd a'l editor one say and the statement va-' no' orlciual with him that the a tie ems have stolen all our best thoughts. The trouble with America tod.iy is not that we need more inon-y more people from other countries but we need more intelKi:nit thinking. The call for today i-- not the c,dl of the south but the c:ill for America. There Is a call-coming to you such as the world never heard before. What Is this ci.ll. do you us!;? It s a call to become a call to arrive. Have you arrived? The speaker maoe a plea for clean living physlcaMy and urged his audi ence not to do ihr.t which wrecked their physical bodies as well as their minds. The country today, he sa'd. is half drunk on soft drinks in this (lav of prohibition. Cigarettes and soft drinks are destroying the health and sapping the energy of the ptnple. I would almost as leave a man should leach tny boy to drink blockade liquor as to tench him to smoke cigarettes or drink coca-coPt. I wish they would put coca-cola u,t to So or even $1,000 a glass. He advised the youthful graduates to read good wholesome magazines and novels and advised them to ever be guilded by the class motto "Work for character rather than fame." He appealed to the graduates and the younger pupils to ever be obedient to their parents and warned gainst allowing their daughters to go on automobile rides at night utiae cori psnied. Calling the attention of his audi ence to the economic situstlon of the world at present, he predicted that within twelve months the country's food supply would be In a measure exhausted and he urged them to give mere attention to the cultivation of that which they could eat. He concluded his address with a plea for better educational facilities, closer co-operation of parents with teachers and the employment In the public schools only teachers of good Christian character. He closed his address amid hearty applause. "John. I wish Ethel would give that young man some encouragement. He'd make a splendid husband." "Have yott tried telling her he's a worthless vagabond and that she's never to speak to him again?" Tlx" Corso In International Politics. San Remo.

The high-heeled shoe has at last got what was coming to it. At a recent meeting of the Housekeepers' Alliance a crowded audience of three hundred women htard it receive a fearful excoriation at the hands (f one of the beet known surgeons In Washington. Animated with a holy leal for the perservaiion of both health and morality, he denounced the vile thing In every mood and tense. It was, he said. Impossible for the wearer of such a contraption to take proper exercire, end hence she prematurely lost her lissome and graceful figure by taking on undue accretions of adipose tissue. She alio lost her sweetness of disposition and developed an acidulous temper, and was therefore more likely to sue or be sued for divorce. Weakened arches, sprained ankles, corns, bunions, over lapping toes, awkwardness of gait, poor circulation, rheumatism, stomach- trouble and fatty degeneration were a few of the accusations brought In this philippic against the offend ing high-heeled rhoe. No wonder the assembled women. In a panic of re pentance, came to a unanimous reso lution decreeing the permanent aboli tion of so terrible an instrument of torture. Transferring his attack front the Inanimate object to Ita nicker, the distinguished surgeon went on record j.is be!:i5 v.l.h.'ul to Efiid to the peui trniiary ail manufacturers of-high 'iitcis on the ground of mayhem and iuu: XiUbii. 1 n this professional practice he had, he averred, been sometimes ollked to perform on oes m d even on whole feet ampttta : ;oiy cpt'.a'ione rendered necessary j by the prolonged tire cf high-hreled. ; narrow shoes. What a comment cn jfumlnlne vanity! All the testimony Is Co not !pm true. Any one who has ever walked behind a girl. or woman with high heels will . certainly corobqraie that part of It which refers to awkwardness of gait. I At every step the ankles wobble, the k!.."s kucck and the hips rcll, and if !the weartr be fonicwhat stout, the 'observer Is In constant dread lest she topple ever. A thing of beauty is-a ; Joy forever, but a female pedestrian struggling along In spiky high-heeled 'shoes by no means comes up to th specification. Thirty-Five IJovernors anil Thirty j j Two Senators Xext Fall ' A Chicago correspondent observes that 35 states will elect governors next fall at the time when the presi dent and vice-president are chosen. Thirty-two United States Senators to take office March 4, 1921, also are to bo elected. Of the Governors whose terms ex pire next year, 23 are Republican and 13 Democrats, while 17 of the 32 I Senators aro Democrats and 15 Re--j publicans. . The 35 Governorships to Le filled offer a wide range, both In terms and salaries. Among the State executives ,whose terms expire are Frank O. Low jden, of Illinois, the highest paid Gov ernor In the country, and S. R. McKel : vie, of Nebraska, the poorest paid. Mr. Lowden receives 12,000 yearly for a four-year term, and Mr. McKel- vie, $2,500 annually for two years. Only 12 of the 85 will receive over I $5,000 a year, and 5 will be paid $3, 000 or less. Governor Coolldge, of Massachu setts. Whose position carries a $10,000 salary Is the only Governor in the ! country elected for one year. All other States have either o 2 or 4-year term.' Territorial Governors are better paid than the average State executive and two of the four are appointed for ; Indefinite terms, with the result that j they remain In office as longr as a rale, as the president who named :them. I Francis Burton Harrison, governor, 'general of the Philippines, tops the , list of territorial executives with a definite term and a $20,000 yearly ; salary. Arthur Yater, Governor of ; Porto Rico, receives $10,000 and la , appointed for an indefinite term. Got. jThos. Riggs. Jr., of Alaska, and J. C. McCarthy, of Hawaii, each receive annual salaries or $7,0C0 during their four-year terms. 1
