JUNE 16, 1916 The Evening Herald of Rock Hill is urging the people of its community to "start something." It is a mighty good slogan, provided the right people take the hint The decision in regard to the vote for Board of County Commissioners of Wayne, In the primary of June 3rd, if correctly quoted in the esteemed Mt. Olive Tribune, fur nishes quite an interesting mathematical as well as polit ical problem. The Tribune in expressing its regrets that it is necessary to hold a second primary for the elimina tion of one candidate, states that tho board of elections has ruled that "six of the eight candidates received more than a majority." When it was not permissible to vote for but five we are at loss to understand how six can didates received a majority of the votes cast Perhaps exme of our contemporaneous mathematicians can figure this out" , It, is reported from St Louis that the (Commoner is displaying eigns of docility never before exhibited by him. In response to an inquiry, he is' quoted as stating that ho had no' planks to suggest to the resolutions com mittee, but it was his desire to "find out what the Presi dent wanted in order ithat he might go before the people in his behalf." Quito a contrast to the attitude, mani fested by the former Secretary of State -on his anti-ad- v ministration tours subsequent to hla leaving the cabinet Ills assistance in the campaign, provided his attitude is correctly reflected by the above referrl!! to report, '-will be of moment, for as a spellbinder Col. Bryan's ability is unquestionable. "' " ' . '.'.,' THANKS OF TIIE COMMUNITY, The thanks of the community are due to the tireless workers whose splendid efforts resulted In giving to Kin eton this year its third annual Chautauqua and doing so without the necessity of the guaranty;", 'making good any deficit ! - . , Chairman E. Y. Speed of the ticket selling committee has worked day and night; eo has'lMr. E. G. Barrett, whose interest and energy is manifested in every public undertaking for tho growth and benefit of Klnston. The young ladies on the ticket selling committee as well as the other? members deserve speciaj mention and thanks, and a number of guarantors who joined the ticket sell ing brigade in earnest after the Saturday night meeting in the OJty Hall, should be accredited with no mean share of the honor for the successful outcome. The Free Press would be more than glad to call the roll of each individual who has contributed to the occasion, but lack of space and for fear some deserving name might inadvertently be left out, suffice it to say that the guarantors as a whole appreciate sincerely the efforts of the ticket sell ing committee, the Individual guarantors, who partici pated in" various ways and all others, who lent assist ance. : ' The Klnston spirit manifested itself most splendidly ia the closing days of the work preparatory to tho Chau tauqua and Kinston, too, is to be congratulated upon having that splendid spirit which serves it so well on occasions' like this. MR. GLYNN'S SPEECH. The speech of Hon. Margin II. Glynn, former Governor of New York, delivered as temporary chairman of the Democratic National Convention now in session at Si. Louis and enunciating the keynote, of that gathering was a splendid epitome of the stewardship of the Democratic party. Mr. Glynn laid stress upon the great constructive leg islation enacted during the three years in which the Dem ocratic party has been in power. The enumeration of tho party's achievements very naturally and deservedly pro duced vociferous and unstinted applause -An approba tion, which we believe is but the reflection of the nation's sentiments. The essence of Mr. Glyn.i's address was un doubtedly his portrayal of Woodrow Wilson's successful avoidance of war and his masterful condue; of the af fairs of this nation during the most troublous era of its history. Mr. Glynn eloquently compared the record of President Wilson, his patience in handling by diplo macy s!tuatlons""which were capable of producing war, with those of some of his illustrious predecessors, who likewise settled flagrant violations of America's neutral ity by arbitration , and negotiation. Mr. Glynn sounded, the keynote of Americanism when he said that America was a nation of peace-loving people builded upon prin ciples, which did not smack -"itarism, and he very truly attributed to President Wilson the proper inter pretation and application of the great principles professed by this nation for more than a century. Mr. Glynn's address is good reading and can be pe rused with profit by every 'reader. LITTLE LOUISIANA TOP IS A MODEL Linville Five Years Ago Was Typi ral Backwoods Community and Couldn't Get Out of the Rut Bu reau of Education Tel l What the People Did and How They Did It THE PUBLIC ENTITLED TO CONSIDERATION. The conference between the representatives of the large (railroad systems of the country and employes Of tho oper ating departments, involving i50,000 men, now being held in New York is of vary great importance. The employes feci that they are entitled to a larger proportion of the proceeds of the prosperity that is now smiling upon the country. They demand shorter hours with the same pay, additional pay for over-time work, and make other demands which the employers feel are inconsistent Very naturally there is a difference of opinion. Tho railroad men no doubt are demanding more than they expect to get, and the counter propositions of the managers naturally make room for 4 compromise in the final outcome. The railroads contend that their train men are the best paid help in their employment and their wages are, as a rule, we believe, considerably in ex cess of any other class of labor. There is but little likelihood that the conference will result in an agreement without the good offices of a third party. Tho country is interested in the matter to the extent of hoping that an adjustment jyill be reached and that prosperity will not be interrupted by a gigantic strike and tho stagnation of business, which would result in the temporary Idleness of such an army of men. The employes and the railroad managements owe to the public to get together if possible. it Washington, June 15. The Ru reau of Education of the Interior Department is boosting. Linville, La. as an example of what live citiuer.s can do to a town that has begun to go to seed. In a bulletin today, tie bureau praised LinviUians for the way they improved school conditions, when the town itself couldn't Linville, the etatement five years ago had "all the marks of a backwoods community wit'i n'. idea's or growth." It bad a scho lnouse of a sort a discarded box-car hut A few citizens decided to improve conditions, and built first a two- room school and then a six-room building, with all modern improve' ments. Establishment of-a school farm and a plant nursery were the force ful factors in the improvement cam paign, the statement said. Agricul tural co-operation , which included the formation of a School District Fair Association, helped to bring about the renegeration of the term, the bureau said. DR. THOS. E. GREEN TO BE CHAUTAUQUA LECTURER (Continued from Page One) ian who sang in his native tongue furnished a delightful diversion. The audience enjoyed the singer's part of the program as much as anything during the evening. The national air was the final band number, of course. And the audience left for home in the midst of it, just as ia the cus tom locally, even in these patriotic days. WHAT OTHERS SAY QUITE A DIFFERENCE. Wilmington uispaicn: "in marked and therefore in calm contrast to four .years ago, the Democratic National 'Convention opens today in St. Louis. Before there were numerous presidential candidates and a broil was in sight from the very start There was a row at the -beginning over the temporary chairman and which resulted in the downfall, temporarily, of William Jennings Bryan, who threw himself into the breach to stop Judge Alton B. Parker from being selected. Bryan lost, but later turn ed the tables, with the Tammany crowd as the excuse, by leaving Champ Clark and assuring Woodrow Wilson's nomination. "Those days of turmoil and uncertainty, with conse quent anxiety, are well remembered. Yet the party won. "Today there is no pcmblance of this, signs even point ing to docility of Mr. Pryan. The party is united and should, consequently, be in better fighting trim, certainly it is better armed. It not only possesses munitions made up of Republican records, but it is strongly entrenched with Democratic deeds promises that were fulfilled and that have worked well even under exceptionally trying conditions, such as have never faced a Republican President" MISS ABERNATHY TOOK 3 BOTTLES GAINED 20 POUNDS Was Sick In Bed and Couldn't Bear Eggs or Milk Before Taking Tanlac ...V,. v.- "iMIWUl1ll)m llllllllftllHlMlllllllil llll niniT-s " " mm wmMMMk Contain no acid and thai keep the leather soft, protecting it against cracking.
