CAMPAIGN BEGINS TO LIVEN UP A BIT Kace For Governor Promises to Be Warm. LIST OF THE STATE CANDIDATES. - Executive Committee Appoints Managers?Abbeville Coun ty Candidates?Sched ule Deferred. ( With the Democratic primary election more than two months away interest in the contests is beginning to be quite spir ited. The all-absorbing topic so far as State politics Is concerned is the race between the present governor and Hon. Ira B. Jones, former chief justice of the supreme" - court. Both'candidates have been making a spirited campaign, speaking at many points in different sections of the state. On Saturday afternoon last Governor Blease spoke to a large I crowd at Green wood and addressed a meeting at Ninety Six the same evening. The most interesting development of the week is the publication in The Augusta Chronicle of a letter from its Columbia correspondent, Joe Sparks, in which the writer advances the suggestion that Gov ernor Blease may withdraw from the race for governor and enter the lists for the senate against Senator Tillman. Here is the paragraph referring to this phase of the situation: "It would not surprise many South Caro linians if Cole L. Bleose should withdraw from the race for governor and enter the race.for the United States senate. He is known to have contemplated that action at one time, at least his conversation in Spartanburg would lead to that inference. He could more gracefully retire from the situation by retiring in that manner, for he would not stand a ghost of a chance to defeat SenatorfTillman." The iannounced candidates for State nflflpps t/> flute are as follows: ANNOUNCED CANDIDATES. For Governor the candidates are: Judge Ira B. Jones, Cole L. Blease, the incum bent; John T. Duncan and L. S. Connor, of Orangeburg, i ' For United States Senator the candi dates are: Senator B. R. Tillman, W. Jas per Talbert, of Edgelield, Jand N. B. Dial, of Laurens. For Attorney General J. Fraser Lyon is being opposed for re-election by "Hub". Evans, of Newberry; T. H. Peeples, of Blackville, and J. R. Earle, of Oconee. For State Treasurer the candidates are: S. T. Carter, the present chief clerk under Treasurer Jennings, and D. W. McLaurin. the present State land agent. John G. Richuds is opposed for railroad commissioner by J. H. 'Wharton, of Lau rens, and James Cansler, of Tirzah. The State campaign will probably open in Sumter about June 18th and all indica tions point to a live contest, especially in the race for governor.

LAID WITH MASONIC CEREMONIES Some Notable Addresses?Prof. Hand Compliments Com munity?Splendid Din ner.' \ On last Thursday, May 20, 1912, the cor nerstone of the McCormick High School was laid with interesting ceremonies and instructive speeches. The day was ideal and a large number of people were out to witness the ceremonies and hear the talks. The building is the best in the county outside of Abbeville. It has eight large rooms, each connected with a cloak room and well ventilated, an important requisite to all school rooms. It is situated in the grove where the former wooden structure stood, which, in its time, was considered a model of architecture as a school building. The former building was presented to the town by Mrs. McCormick together with the lot on which it stood. Grand Master of South Carolina Masons, the Hon. George S. Mower of Newberry, was expected to take charge of ceremonies in the layiDg of the stone. He was not present, and in his absence Solicitor R. A. Cooper officiated. For a while there was some doubt as to whether the ceremonies could go on owincr to the fact that the stone was to be laid In the wall instead of a corner. Mr. Cooper, after sending several telegrams to men high in authority in tho Masonic fraternity was finally advised that if the stone was to be a part of the wall it would be all right to proceed. , Owing to the delay Mr. Hand, of the 8. C. University, matte his speech before the ceremonies of laying the stone were be gun. All are acquainted with Prof. Hand. He is a most pleasant speaker, full of wit, rAnni^oa arwl r>r>mmnn CAncr* nnrl It la nap/1 less to say that his speech was closely lis tened to by all present. It contained words of rich commendation, congratulation and advice for the people of McCormick and especially for the patrons of the sohools. The speakers were introduced -by Mr. Frank Robinson, who after the laying of the stone, announced dinner for all on th<L school grounds. And such u dinner woulcT have made Epicurus to know that he had not lived but had simply existed. It was a oaroecue ana picnic ainner in one, ana enough to feed as many more. The good women of McCormick have the thanks of a host of visitors, candidates included, for a most enjoyable feast. While in McCormick many visited the gold mine which is boing worked there. A large number of hands are busy with im proved machinery excavating and getting out ore preparatory to milling. PROF WATKINS TO BELTON Prof. J. B. Watkins, who was Su perintendent of the Honea Path Graded school for a number of years, has accepted the Superintendency of the Belton High and Graded schools.

ABBEVILLE AFTER NEXT MEETING Mayor Gambrell and Two Dele gates Will Attend?No Team From Here. All arrangements have been completed for the holding of the annual tournament and convention of the State Fireman's As sociation at Rock Hill, June 25, 26, 27. The railroads have granted reduced rates for delegates and contestants and free trans portation of apparatus to and from Rock Hill. The attendance will no doubt be large and a real good time is in store for those who may be fortunate enough to at tend. An attractive prize list is offered by the citizens of Rock Hill. The Abbeville Fire Company, having been only recently organized, will not send a team to take part in tournament, but some of the boys will go along to learn ! everything possible in order that they may i be in shape to make a try^for some of the' | honors at the next meet. I At the last regular meeting of the city I council Mayor Gambrell was authorized to appoint two delegates to the convention and to make an elTort to secure the next tournament for Abbeville. As Dr. Gam brell generally gets what he goes after we may reasonably expect to have the next tournament take place here. The firemen will find that Abbeville knows how to en tertain should they decide to accept the of fer of her hospitality. STUDY OF PELLEGRA BEGINS AT SPARTANBURG Thompson McFadden Commission Has Begun Investigations With Two Experts on the Ground Spartanburg, May 31.?No time has been lost by the Thompson-McFad den pellagra commission in beginning its work. Two of the physicians com posing the commission, Dr. Joseph E. Siler of the U. S. A., and Dr. Philip E. Garrison, U. S. N., arrived in Spar tanburg Thursday, and the third, Dr. Ward J. MacNeal of the New York Post-Graduate Hospital and Medical school, wi}l come tomorrow. Thirty five cases of pellagra have been lo cated in the county and three of them will be sent to New York next veek for treatment and study. Drs. Siler and Garrison spoke to the Spar tanburg county medical society today, outlining their plans, and were as sured of the local physicians' coop eration. Drs. Siler and Garrison will de vote most of their time to field work. They propose to make a thorough study of the conditions in the homes of pellagrins, their manner of life and diet. Their chief aim is to dis cover the cause of the baffling dis ease. None of the navy theories which have been proposed have bevn substantiated. The commission will inquire into the merits of all the suggestions as to the cause or the disease, une ci the most recent theories is that of Dr. Sanborn, of the London school of trophical medicine, who has sug gested that pellagra is caused by the bite of a genus of blood-sucking fiies, of which the buffalo gnat is a com mon species. Dr. L. 0. Howard, head of the bureau of entomology of the department of agriculture, has prom ised to send an entomologist to Spar tanburg to cooperate with the com mission in an investigation of this theory.

Aikeii County Officials Have Purchased and Chester About to Close Trade. After a trial of 10 days?during which the machine proved satisfactory?the county board has' decided to purchase a Titan tractor for use on the county's high ways. W. A. Stevenson, our efficient super visor, is determined that Abbeville county shall occupy first rank when It comes to good roads, and he proposes to leave nothing undone that will forward the Im provement of our highways. On Friday last the tractor worked over eight miles of road from 11 a. m. to 7 p. m., pulling two scrapers and a split-log drag, completing the road-grading and drainage of the entire distance within that time, using three hands. Supervisor Stevenson estimates that, in addition to performing the service requir ed in a more satisfactory and expeditious manner, this tractor will save the countv practically $4.50 a day over mule power rendering a like service. Two members of the Aiken county board of commissioners were In Abbeville last week to inspect the work of this machine and closed the trade for one before leav ing. From Chester county there were also two members of the county board, and they expected to complete arrangements for the purchase of a tractor immediately upon their return home.

These figures are, however, more than us ually interminate as considerable painting remains to be done over wide areas. Correspondents estimate on the condition of crop as compared to normal indicate a percentage of 80 to 83. The crop is later than Jast year in all States save the two Carolinas and Texas and over the whole belt the land preparation is less thorough and planting was begun at a later date than last year.
