Betting on Elections. Occasionally one hears here and there of a bet on a local or state elec tion, but in this part of the country the evil has not grown to any great proportions. However, in the large ?cities it is an increasing evil and .should be condemned not only be cause it is a transgression of moral and civil law but also because it tends to influence elections, thus subverting the cause of good 'govern ment. The State has the following to say editorially this morning concern ing the increasing evil of betting on elections : "Betting is generally called a vice. Clergymsn, teachers and all of the accredited moral agencies and agents condemn it. The laws everywhere, state and municipal, prohibit it. "Nevertheless, when an election is imminent the betting on elections is not only reported but given conspic uous place in newspapers .Conserva tive journals in great cities publish on front pages the odds for and against candidates and the custom has gained rapidly in late years. The names of brokers handling bets are printed and nothing is thought of it. "The betting, while the odds are often misplaced, to a degree influ ences the trend of elections. Publi cation of the news of it increases the betting and augments its weight as a political factor. It is coming to be recognized as legitimate and its insidious influence for corruption is increasing." . . . . Tolbert Totally Unworthy of Position He Holds. It will be shown from the follow ing editorial taken from the Spartan burg Journal, embodying a letter from Senator Dial, that Joe Tolbert is totally unworthy of the position of United States marshal of the Wes tern District, yet being under Repub lican domination we are powerless in htis state to help ourselves. Senator Dial has persistently fought Tolbert's confirmation in the senate but Presi dent Harding made a recess appoint ment which will give Tolbert the place at least until the senate con men es again. Senator Dial and Joe Tolbert. To the Editor of The Journal: I notice an editorial in your paper lOf Saturday, the 28fch, in reference to the confirmation of Joseph W. Tolbert as Marshal for the Western District of our State, where you speak of Judge Watkins swearing in Tolbert as follows: "We do not know what the facts are, but we have not the least doubt if Tolbert had been convicted, as Senator Dial is said to have charged, of embezzlement in the Western District of this State, he would not Iliave baen sworn into any office of the Federal Court of the Western ^District in a thousand years if the present judge could keep his health that long. This, we should think, ?would be a matter of much interest to the full senate, and the regular : readers of the Congressional Record, in the debate on the abuse of the ap pointing power by the President." ( Don't put any "ifs" in this proposi tion. It seems you question my , statement. I said the records show . he was guilty of embezzlement and I had a certified copy of the record from C. J. Hutson, Clerk of the Unit- ' ed States District Court at Charles ton, S. C., and attested by the seal of the Court, and I filed this record with the sub-committee of the Judi ciary Committee of the Senate. The trial was had at Greenville before ! tile Western District was established. If you or any one else want to see a copy of the record, it's a public matter, and if you will write to Mr. Hutson, in Charleston, you can get it, or if you will write to my office in Washington, we will send you a copy, or if you will write General Bonham, in Anderson, he will send you a copy, as I saw in the paper he Ind one. I do not make statements unless I have proof to verify them. Fur thermore, there's no harm of accus ing the Republican paity of any and everything. Almost c.aily I accuse them of wrongdoing on the floor of the senate. Of course, it's the best to have the proof, but you can make general charges, such as stealing, selling offices, buying votes, robbing the people by special laws, confiscat ing a large part of tho value of the crop and many other iniquitous mat ters whereby they plunder the people for the benefit of the classes. Anyway, the point I am making in this case your editorial seems to question the accuracy of the convic tion of Tolbert, and, as aforesaid, my information is a certified copy of the record of the Cou-t. Of course, I understand you did not mean to misrepresent anything I said, but I want to keep the records straight. Please give this any publicity you see fit. Kind regards, Yours truly, N. B. DIAL, Laurens, S. C., Oct. 30, 1922. This is a very inters ting letter, to be sure. It sets Senator Dial straight -nobody has ever said he was crook ed, and certainly we have not ques tioned any statement he has made in the Tolbert case or any other matter he has discussed in the Senate. Care ful reading of the paragraph quoted from The Journal by Senator Dial will show him that the "ifs" employ ed by us did not suggest any doubt of the accuracy of any statement he may have made in this case. "If" the Senator will "read, mark, learn and inwardly digest" the fourth para graph of his entertaining letter he will see that "if" he had sent the "record" in the Tolbert case to The Journal, that invaluable publication, devoted to preserving the truth of history and the welfare of the peo ple, would not have deemed it best to refrain, in the circumstances, from making a direct quotation from him. In the meantime, it ::s to be hoped that the Senator will b= so refreshed and strengthened by visiting around among his friends that he will re new his fight against Tolbert when Congress reassembles and keep it up until justice and decency triumph.

Clemson College ,Oct. 30.-'Tis the pullet that lays the profitable egg. Investigation has shown us that the pullet produces a greater num ber of eggs than does a yearling bird. Also, that the pullet consumes a smaller amount of food material. All of which shows that the pullet is more profitable than the hen. In a poultry flock, says N. R. Mehrhof, Extension Poultry Special ist, we find that the ratio of pullets to hens is two-thirds pullets and one third hens. However, we must con sider not only egg- production but also the breeding stock, and perhaps the yearling will make the best breeders. The reason for having two thirds pullets and one-third hens is that greater egg production results during the pullet year and also it gives the practical poultryman a bet ter chance to cull out his poor pul lets and keep only his best for breed ing birds the following year. In the poultry business, we find that when the hen becomes older she produces fewer and fewer eggs; she lays the largest number during her first year; fewer the second, and so on through her life; so birds should not be kept for egg production after they are two years of age. Mysterious Pains and Aches Make Life Hard to Bear for Many, Edgefield Women. Too many women mistake their pains and aches for troubles peculiar to their sex. More often disordered kidneys are causing the aching back, dizzy spells, headaches and irregular urination. Kidney weakness becomes dangerous if neglected. Use a time tried kidney remedy-Doan's Kidney Pills. Hosts of people testify to their merit. Read au Edgefield case: Mrs. D. A. Frick, Edgefield, says: "My kidneys gave me trouble and there was a small spot on my back that was as sore as a boil. My back was weak and I tired easily. It was an effort to do my housework. My kidneys acted irregularly and I felt run down. I used Doan's Kidney Pills and it wasn's long before I was feel ing a great deal better and was able to be about again." Price 60c at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that Mrs. Frick had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. Death of Faithful Old Colored Woman Announced.
