The ; trip from Now York to San Francisco can now bo made In fourteen tlays wheras it formerly took, twenty-four days under the most favorable conditions. Wutcr and rail competition' in this way ineanB In creased opportunity and econe y In transportation, effecting tne it sta of .eyery, American citizen, but par ticularly the people of this section. . This achievement is tne culmina tion of four centuries of dreaming? over ehico Charles V of Spain nad a survey made across tho Isthmus in 1520. The United States Is to pay $375, 000,000 for this work an engineers say that It is ^ip cheapest piece of good worfc,,pnjl'record. Three vital ele ments; entered into the successful buildings 'of this canal?elements which-could hardly have been found in an'^'iCjtHer nutlon. "The financial resources of a very rich nation, the constructive and administrative ge nius of Americans, and the ability to cope with the distress of the Trop ics." 'ik brief, money, brains, and health.' It'is'generally conceded then that,th,c, building of this canal is the most Btupcndoua engineering achieve ment'lu. the history of l|e world, and its opening will bo a notable event, Innue'ncinp! trade conditions m the re motest, (cpi;ner8 of tho earth. As a consequence of changing routes of ocean.-travel,- new migrations of men wilt take >pl?ce and now financial and " tr?de conditions will develop.

Tbc opening of the canal t>rr< rx to the South tin- grcatcBt opportunit) It will ever have to develop a foreign trade. Because of its advantageous situ ation, and excellent HUppon atiou and its excellent seaport, South Carolina should Immediately and per inaiiently enjoy these Ihmic.Uh most iibiiiidanlly. Out arc we alive to our opportunity?

You know, of eourse, of 111 ? - magnitude of this exposition. In which thlrly-slx foreign nattons will participate, and most or our own States. Forty-three states have al ready accepted Uli? in vital Ion to erect buildings ami exhibits. Among all the slates of importance, should South Carolina alone he conspicuous by her absence? Since our legislature failed to make an appropriation to erect a stale building and semi an extilhlt, is It not our duty, as individuals, to see that wo are creditably reprcnrnfi-d (here? Ignoring the matter ot stnifl pride, would It not he poor business policy to neglect the opportunity or exploiting our resources und natural advanta ges? We cannot afford to sit still, de luding ourselves with the fallacious notion that the trade or the world will come unsought. Our advantages will never be known unless wo pro claim them. About llfty of the most prominent men throughout the Stale have been Invited to form a c ommis? Ion for the purpose of raising the necessary funds for n South Carolina building and exhibits at the exposition, and it Is our duty to help them. They do not ask for Innre sums from a few rich people, but prefer small amounts from everybody, so that we may all feel a proprietary Interest in the building and In the buccms or the un dertaking. While the commissioners nave not entirely completed their pians, tnoy are working hard and we reel qonri dent that such of us wuo find It pos sible to go to 'Frisco nurtng the ex position, will find pleasant headquar ters ut the South Carolina nuildiug on the exposition grounds. GRAZING BEEF CATTLE *-y We were very much interested in a statement made here last Tuesday .by Paul. V.. Moore,. secretary of the Spartanburg chamber of commerce. Mr. Moor? and J. L. Watt of Clem s on coHcgo, went to r-?orthorn Missouri with $5,000 to buy beef cattle for the farmers of Anderson and Spartan burg. Mr. Mooro's statement was mat tho cattle raiser from wnom they bought the beef cattle aecinrod his dissatisfaction with that section or the country. Mr. Mobro stated that this Missou ri farmer realizes that the grazing season Is all too short. It is alt right while it lasts, but the winters arc long and sovero and the summers are hotter than In South Carolina. Why should not Anderson make an offort to induce such mon to come to this county? They might start merely a branch of the Industry here, and, if it succeeds, let the undertaking become greater nnd greater all of the time. Wo read in the Bible, some of us do, of tho famines of the good old days, and we do not appreciate that this country Is now facing, not exactly a famine, but a real shortage In beef supply. The statistics snow that the number of beef cattle in the United States has been reduced nearly 1,260, 000 in u ycur. That uutnucr is al most equivalent to tho population of South Carolina. The boll weevil is comme. That is what the experts and tne scientists tell us. Wn arc really not so much afraid of the boll weevil as wo were a few years ago, but ho Is on nis way. The reason this section feels more secure is because we are gradually planting more grain, und It. other ways varying the crops. Just one thing more is needed to make all of the hillsides green with ?ermuoa and clovers and to cause tne meadows to be filled with beef catti?. The boll weevil may come, but it bo has no cotton bolls on which to gorge himself, the farmer will not ? uffer. The country Is beginning to ..urn to the southeast for its beef cat tle and its grazing ranges. What better breeding place could be found than tho soutneastT In rne Southern states aro millions of ac res of cheap, well watered lands that are ideal for stock raising. There is tittle of the land that could not bo utilized for that purpose. There are many factors that enter into making this sectioa ?no future stock growing zone of America. Not the least of these is' the tone graz ing Heason. In most ructions ot the southeast cattle can graze for ntne months in tho year with no shelter at all. 'Sheep can graze throughout the season-without any othsr rood than they can gather In the fields. . In ad THE COVER Editorial In the Char Because the opinion ia everywhere Strong I hut GOV. IIIt'ilHC is losing heavily in support ami is sur?* ol de feat it seems to have been taken for grunted, by nnti-HIeuscitca, at least, thai the election of anti-lileasite as governor is certain also. \Vc wish that il wen?, but unfortunately as mat ters now stand, 11 is not. It Is en trieiy possible for Oov. BIcasc to lose by a Kiihstantial majority In his race for the senate and at the same time for a Ulease candidate for governor to he assnr?'d of election to that office. Moreover, as the situation appears to lie shaping up al present, there is ser ious danger, we think, that this very Illing may happen. The risk lies In the fact that It looks now as if the anli-Hlease vote is likely to he split all to pieces while there; is a strong probability that tho Please support will he centered upon two of the IDeasc candidates. If this should happen, the result would be that while the antl-Mlease people might outnum ber the Ulcnscltes very considerably Hie second race for governor might not he between a Hleaselto and an an il lib asite but between two Blcusttcs say Richards and Irby or Richards and Similis. Il would not bo the first timo in South Carolina politics that such a sad mischance had wrecked the hopes of a seemingly triumphant majority. Indeed, it is scarcely overstating tho case to say that under the primary system this sort of thing has been tho rule rather than the exception. Take the senatorial contest of 1902 as an ex ample. In that year there were four candidates from one faction und two from the other.. The vote stood as follows: Elliott . 1.1.358 Kvuns. 17,893 Ilemphill .13.2K1 Henderson . 13.771 .Tohnstone .13,556 Latimer. 22,971 Tho four candidates from the so called Conservative wing of the dem ocratic party polled a total of 54,246 votes, or 13.382 votes more than both Latirnor and Evans, the Reform fac tion candidates; but because the Con servative vote was pretty evenly di vided nmong four candidates vforty thousand votcrB out of nlnetyslx thou sand were enabled to namo the United States senator. Tho illust rat Ion was not quite 80 dltion the Southeast growB~Hiore vol untary grusses, like lespczeda and moil Hot us. which mako excellent graz ing and which require no attention or cultivation by man. There :s intie of tho land in the Southeast mat Is not well watered, and mum or tne land is of limestone formation, wnlch precedent shows la best adapted tc breeding cattle of large proportion?. The soils of tho Southeast are adapted to raising good crops or corn and lc gumes which are suitable for winter feeding during tho few mouths .mat the cattle cannot rustle for tbt-m uelvcs. Dr. C. M. Rommel, chtcr of the Di vision of Animal industry of the Uni ted States Department of Agriculture, recently said that the South cau pror duce cuttle beef as low as three | cents a pound. Statistics show that | the cattle will bring about eight cunts per pound in any market. NATIONAL PRESIDENT NAMED Ancient Order ?f 2,'berul hjh Elect j Joseph McLaughlin.

NOR'S RACE I leston Kcws and Courier clear in the senatorial election of l'JOS for factional lines ?vre nut drawn ho closely in that year; yet a study of the ligures reveals very much the same results as hi tin contest of 1DU2. There were seven candidates. The vote stood as follows: Kvans . 27,584 Grace . 1,499 Johnntonc . 1.1,650 - Lunipkln . 4,361 Martin . 5,802 Itliett . . 22,122 Smith .(. :to,oi2 It Is not a mailer susceptible of proof, hut citizens familiar with the renditions which existed at that time will generality acne that. Mr ESavns and Mr. Smith card drew practically his entire strength ou the first ballot. There were 47,2::I voters who in the second primary had to choose between candidates neither of whom was as ac ceptable to them :us some third candi date would have been. It is some misadventure of this sort which we fear in the governor's race this year unless the anti-llleasiles vote can be reasonably well ^concentrated on some one of the candidates avowed ly opposed to things which have made the administration of the present gov ernor notorious. It Is true that there [are nearly as many Mease men in the race ?s there are unti-Bleaso men; but I there Is every reason to believe that I the Blouse forces will concentrate up ! on two of the Blease candidates and I let the rest go. They can do that. Mease has lost strength but the Cle mens which are for hhu urc cohesive and organized; They will vote as i their leaders say vote. If this plan is followed?and for our ! own part we do not doubt but that it will he followed?there is a possibility I that two of tho Mease candidates may each received upwards of better than 25,000 votes in the first primary. Is there any unti-Bleaso candidate for whom that many votes can he flg gured out In the first primary as things look now? "We don't believe it There Is every chance for the antl Blease forces?the forces of reform and progress-^to name the next gov i ernor In the contest this summer, but 1 it will be an easy matter for them to forfeit that chance If they continue to proceed as they are now proceeding upon the theory that an antl-Blease man Is sure of election and that they can afford to scatter their votes about as they pleaso in the firstjirimary DELIGHTFUL DAY " TOR ORR ITERATIVES PICNIC AT JOLLY SPRINGS WAS* A SUCCESS [OVER 100 WENT Bond Cos?ert?, Several Address?", Alheim Events and Baseball Game Make Day Intresting (Prom ' Sunday's Daily.) Leaving on a'special train over the Blue Ridge ralliroad yesterday morn ing , a large number of the operatives of the Orr Mills went to Jolly Springs for the annual picnic which the work ers of this mill hold every year and always, look forward to with the greatest Interest and pleasure. The special train conslted of four passenger coaches and a box car and the entire train was heavily loaded, especially the box car. This portion of the train was by far the most in teresting and well it might be, because it would be a difficult matter to think of any choico delicacy not carried for the dinner. About 6Cd of the mill people were on hand when "the train left the city at D o'clock yesterday morning. Jolly Springs was reached about 10 o'clocV and after unloading barrel after bar rel of free lemonade, tbe festivities, of the day began. James D. Hammen was on hand and entered into the spirit of the occasion in a hearty man ner. ' t ' One of tlic features of the day was the program of events opened to con testants. Tho following Is the ordet In which they came: Human Burden Race, open to men and boys, Band Concert, Tug of';. War, Weave room versus card room; won by tho card room, Pie race, open to boys between 10 and 15 years of age, won by Omar Conwoll, Bund Concert and recrea tion. Potato race, open to girls ovei 16 and a second, race for those undoT 16, won by Paulino Hayes and Nellie Sue ?onwell.

Frayer Feels That Many Women In State Are Not Interested in the Work Maybe tho women in some other sections of South Carolina do not evince the proper Interest in the farm. <ts' Institutes held In their section, but this does not apply to Anderson coun ty. The women of the county have always taken an active Interest here when anything of tho kind is proposed and tlioy have been responsible in a large measure for "the successes at tained by these institutions. Misa Mary E. Frayser of Winthrop College, in charge of extension work in borne economics, wishes emphasiz ed the fact that women huve an equal share and Interest with the men in the stat>; farmers' Institut? now being held all over the state. Miss Frayser is again connected with the enterprise this summer and was in Columbia yesterday, at which time she gave out an interview. Somehow, says she, the women of the rural communities do not seem to realize that the insti tute Is for them as well as for their husbands. Usually they attend the meetings, but generally just for the sake of going somewhere or for the purpose of carrying along the dinner and they are surprised to find that a part of the program is for them?for tho discussion of questions of vital In terest to the home?such as economi cal methods, labor saving devices and appliances, the cure nndy feeding of babies and all allied topics. "The forces of Clemson and Win throp colleges are cooperating in this iilbtitU?c nuik uriuc: itiv ?ii'cCti?? Gl W. W. Ix>ng, state agent in charge of farm demonstration work, and I want 'o impress upon the women of the ru ral communities that Winthrop's part of the program is for the women as Clcmson's Is for the men," declares Miss Frayser. . The institutes arc being held by four parties, each traveling In a different section of the state, and giving threo days to each county. The women trav eling with these parties are Miss Frayser and Miss Caroline Bostick, a WjintliTop graduate^ who has made good nt the Berry Industrial School for Girls in Rome, Ga. In the 21 counties where there are county or ganizers for the girls' canning club vork, the women's interests In the ln jtitutes are being handled by these or ganizers. Miss FrayBer and Miss Bos tick look to them In the other 20 counties. . ' . .." Having a woman with a'party .of jf men conducting the Institute work was an experiment of a year ago, sug gested by Mis Frayser of Winthrop. Miss Frayser accompanied one party ast summer and the Interest on the tart of both men and women in what she had to offer soon proved the ad visability of giving a definite part to vom en on the program this year. Mr. jong had hoped to havo several wo nen on the program this summer for hlB work exclusively but the funds vere not available, so Miss Parrott, .t?te agent in charge of girls' clubs, vith her assistants in 24 counties, co >peratcd with Mr. Long and Miss ?"rayser to provldo a program for the women in each county. In this way he whole state 1b covered and the wo nen everywhere are being given the jeneflt of lectures and demonstrations m all phases of household work and >.U questions of home economics. The institute began July 14 and will ast through August 22. , CAMPAIGN DATE AT PENDLETON Big Picnic Dinner and Mafic Will Greet Candidates and Their Friends The first county campaign speaking 'or thli year will be held at Pendleton, ?Tuesd y.

At the request of some friends Prof. Clinkscales spoke a few minutes from the court house steps during the after noon to a crowd of about .200 people. Prof. Clinkscales was hoarse, haying caught cold the night - before. He spoke very encouragingly of his race and explained his recommendations in regard .to compulsory education. It. is his desire that the legislature pass'a law requiring all children between the ages of seven and twelve t oattend schools for at least three months dur ing each year. He showed how such a requirement would not interfere* with th? farmer who would need his chil dren .to help make his crop, as the children could attend school during the three winter months. He explain, ed further that such ? law could not Interfere with the man at the mill as children under 12 years of age-' are not allowed to work In the mill.
