For a governor who is no busy with official duties that ho has no tltpo for politic*. Governor Sl.« ton seems to have paid the Georgia troops a poor compliment, In his of official Inspection** of the soldier boys at Camp Wheeler. We are glad that the governor was pleased with the camp site, for that was about all that he saw of the soldiers of the atats In bis official Inspection. HOKE ANd’hARDWICK. The state campaign Is fast drawing to a close, and we may expect a lit - tie more ginger from now on. with the claims and counter claims of the various candidates. *lt I* about time alao for the charges and counter charges to begin to get more frequent and more severe. However, we have faith In the elo gan "Hoke and Hardwick. ' as appeal ing to the progressive and aggreaslve democrat« of the state. We can't be lieve that Joe Brown, despite the hark ing of Watson, and hi* attacks upon the labor unions, t* going to defeat Hoke Smith for the senate. He cer tainly will not. If the people of the state taka enough Interest in the elec tion to go to the polls and vote Congressman lladrwlck has made a brilliant campaign of the state, and he la regarded in all sections as lead ing in the many-cornered, many can didate* short term race. It is undoubt edly true, If the race were confuted to Hardwick and Slaton, that Hard wick would easily defeat Slaton. What Is going to happen with so many ran - didatea In (his race, is uncertain, but the Hardwick strength Is growing, and he will go into the convention with more votes than any other candidate. Augusta and the Tenth district ought to give to Mr .Hardwick a rousing big majority. He has made a splendid record, and his old con stituent* can he counted upon to show their appreciation by a strong and overwhelming endorsement. "Hoke and Hardwick" seems to be the ticket.

Rev. 0. P. Gilbert’s Version cf War—"lt's Hell” BY O. P. GILBERT. What do the thousands of soldiers at ('amp Wheeler mean? What does It mean when a. man arms himself and ! trains himself to shoot men. If It doe* 'not mean that e*pe#iH to have the . opportunity to put his training into practice? I’ncle Ha is an individual, | a collective individual, of course, hut 'an Individual, (.'amp Wheeler Is on** tof a number of drill grounds where »rer» ar#* trained to shoot men. not tar gets. The meaning of the thousands I of soldiers here and elsewhere In this Uountry is that we expect war at | some time, and when the time comes |we shall he able to kill our fellows i with all the «rt and skill required to ■do such bloody work. A Giant Evil. i War is one of the giant evils handed ! f'own to us from reu otest history Not « nation of *ll history with its pages unstained by th<- inhumanities 'of war Like so many of the Iniquities |of the barbarians war has become a fixed Institution of » so called Chris tian civilisation The puppets of war have been petted and praised as the heroes of the ages Millions of moth ers have gone down Into the birth pangs of death to hear sons for the Insatiable mww of war. Nations have burdened t hcmsel ve:- with war bud get a arid pension rolls till many of then, are on the verge of financial I ankl upte.v. Ami today a thrill of fear lias shot through the world Iwause armed and trained soldiers ar#* about to i «• unleashed to see what victories, what conquests they may win. War Is noi ti < < hild of Christian civilization but of dissimilarity. Inequality, and Irregularity. War Must Dio. With the gradual uplift of the hu man race under Christian democracy war must die. It may have the ad vocacy of the statesman, the scholar, the clergyman, the philosopher, the business man and the artisan, but it Is doomed. The day will come when the voting man with the light of brother ly love before him will refuse to shoot or to he shot, aiul our armies are made up of young men. The day will f ori c when men will refuse to be mar shalled under any shibboleth to fight the battles of men who wish to make for themselves a throne built cm hu man skulls and drenched with human blood. We shall learn that outraged i atlonal honor may be redeemed b> doing good to those who despltefully use you War Is the most appalling of all national or International evils. It must die. "War la Hall.** War Is a red bander! usurper. What n onuments are bulldod to Its gener als!

I low long the roll call of nations destroyed by war! War has belted the world with the dying and (he dead; It has made impossible the perpetuity of the work of men's hands; it has laid Its heavy burden on the infant in Its mother's arms, and has touched with skeleton hand the un born child and reduced the atature of " unkind In the war torn nations or the world "War is Hell!"

Had we a man of less uncommon sense and Ohrtsttan peace ahlenesH mir country would now he at war with Mexico If the howling war 1 <b'ge had been unleashed we would have wasted life and fed vultures, hut we would have been no better than the Mexicans. If we had listened to | the foolish Jingoes who urged war i from the press and the platform, we ! might hove killed of them them, (the Jingoes), but we would have been in the position of the man who killed the j polecat but lost hi* coat. the na tions of Europe rage, thank heaven we I belong not to the triple alliance, nor the triple entente. We have taken the j lead In that which makes for the peace o* the world. We are translating, at governor, selected by the la wye re. or i elected by the elected by the legts- 1 lature. There urn more people in the | Augusta circuit, and they know better I than an> one else the kind of a Judge they want or don't want, aa the case may he. We prefer the Judgment of the people of Ibe Augusta circuit In this matter to the judgment of any one else. However the race for Judge of the Augusta circuit Is only one of many tl at is attracting I bo attention of the voters of this section. The only thin* unusual about It. la that It Is the first contested election over held In the matter of selecting a Judge of the Su perior Court. Batesburg, S. C. ( News Bateeburg, 8. C. Mre. W. N.

Miss Ruby (llover Is summering In ' thin time, those heavenly words: 4 On att.h peace, good will toward nen,” into national life and character. From thh advanced position let ;h not turn hack and make war on any nation. If so what better are we than the Gen tiles? Saved Thousands. The president’* pea policy lias raved uk thousands of dear lives*, and I has kept in the channels of Ghrlstlan ity and commerce millions of dollars. A half century since the close of our Civil War. and vet the nation as a whole mourns the loss of men and money that can never be replaced. Now and then you meet an old Rachel with withered frame and tailing sight who will not he comforted. The story of rtouthem poverty after the war has never been told. Suffice It to say that from the cabin to the mansion it pre vailed like a flood. What a blessing to uh that w« have been able to ride the storm of passion, save our lives and »oney for Hie larger things of nation al life Gur president has shown him self greater than he who takes a city as the head of an army. Who can tell what peace means to the morals of the nation? The graces vo much prized by Christian civiliza tion are destroyed by war. In war there is no humanity, charity, and a nice sense of the rights of others. These graces develop in a state, of i ogee and, as they determine the. char acter* of a people, they should l>e cul tivated. a nation may take its geo graphy from the point of the bayonet, but its development in ail that is worth while depends on a state of peace. Good inoPals are an essential to a good, well wearing mind; and mind Is stronger than muscle. The morals of thi* country suffered a per ceptible lapse following the Civil War end tiie Spanish-American War. If we may pursue the ways of peace an other generation it may mean for us a finer humanity than that dreamed of today. Art of Killing Men. \\ e should take from the army and navy of today the thousands who do nothing dally save to study the art of killing men. and give them a chance to study the art of saving men. Does not all nature attest the fart that he who takes the sword shall die by the sword? There is no doubt that our soldiers did more for humanity when they showed the Cubans how to kill mosquitoes than when they showed them how to kill Spaniards. How much better to dig ♦me Is as in Panama than t»* dig graves in Mexico! How much letter to use our engineers to build great civic and national enterprises than to tear down and destroy the work of ages! This nation has more to fear from those within than from a foreign foe It were a thousand times l etter to use our citizens in the pur suit* of peace than to flaunt them In the far® of a weaker people The mil lions [toured Into the army and navy should be turned into civic and na tional improvement. The plague cities of the country might be cleaned up; their "bums'* and "slums" given a chance to develop Into a clean life, ;;nd the next generation lifted to a higher plane. The Tax. All this would increase the wealth •»f the nation Every man of us is t axed today to pay the expenses of the army and navy. Each year the budget for the equipment and main tenance of the army and navy is in creased. and heaven alone knows vvhera it will stop. If we can keep out of war during the next BO years, it may he that the pension roll will be almost a tiling of the past. What will tlwt n can to our children? It might mean any number of things. It might mean more money for our schools and colleges. It might mean a reduction in taxation. It might mean the abo llition of tue liquor traffic in the whole iof the country; for revenue from the sale or liquor was a war measure. It \ might i ean the development of an j era of agriculture when the nations of earth "shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears Into pruning hooks;** when "Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." And in the language of ri more modern prophet. “Glad prophecy! to this at last, The Reader said, shall all things come. Forgotten be the bugle's blast. And battle music of the drum.
