Serious economic loss is brought about be cause of this iacl. Dr. Thomas E. Harrington of Boston, a noted scien tist, estimates that f? per cent of tho people have no control whatever over their wording powers because of ex cessive fatigue. We have government bureaus for th?; conservai lon of waler powers, of the coll of the forests, bul when will the government try to save the great est of all assets-human energy? The Buttering which comes through muscu lar und nerve exhaustion is most ex cruciating. The person who is "as tough as a pine knot" can never ap preciate the real agony of the peruon who ls debilitated by fevers, depleted by overwork, strain and worry ami prostrated by the energy consuming heat of a torrid sun until petty earea become great and almost insufferable burdens. Such exhaustion is not followed by repose, but on the contrary by haunt ing dreads which still further prey upon the small Blore of nervous en ergy. Man's relation to society causes such exhaustion and fatigue on the part of the Individual to become a menace at times. Therefore thc leg islature passed a bill forbidding rail way employes from being kept on duty longer than a certain number of hours. Humanity luis also demanded a limited number ot hours for work for children and for young women employed In stores. Needless fatiguo, lt is said, may be averted or counteracted. This ls of Interest to all mankind as well as to the tollers. Men who huve made a study of industrial conditions report that accidents in manufacturing plants occur with startling regularity at certain periods of the day. Fatigue roduces the vitality of the body and leaves lt open to attack from disease. A man may carry in his body for months ' the germ of malaria and it may make no manifestation, but once lils vitality and resisting power is re duced by fatigue, the malaria germ marshals all its forces und breaks ?Ipwacthe feeble resistance. That is an illustration to show that it ls neces sary to keep ono's body In "condition." Along this lino wc quote from tho writings of ti scientist in thc New York Sun who says thut "instead of lounging in the shops or badly ven tilated rooms of factories during the dinner"" hour the toiler would moro wisely eat bis frugal midday meal in the open air and spend his remaining minutes in gentle walking or any oth er mild exercise that differs from that of his occupation. The employer would gain in efficiency of hts work men if he would furnish rooms in which they could divest themselves ot their clothing and take K shower bath with warm water, followed by a cold dash, befrro returning home." High authorities have proved by laboratory experiments that there ls no better method of restoring fatigued muscular tissue to its highest efficien cy than a bath under strong pressure. Personal experience of refreshment ls in accord with thin f.ndlijr nr.d the time thus npoht after work may be come the most pleasurable of thc day. Tho city toilers aro fortunate In op portunities for euch refreshment in thu splendid public baths of New York. Tho increased oftlcloncy thus gained may produce far more In finan cial result thon tho cost of mainten ance of such baths. Every factory in town and country should be provided with thom to counteract tin/-economic loss from fatigue. CREDIT TO THE T. P. A. Our attention has been called to the fact that wo may have overlooked Post D bf tho Travellers Protective as sociation In not giving credit for its shore lu the securing of the gas-elec tric service for tho Blue Ridge weat of Anderson.

AX EPOCHAL OCCASION. Next Tuesday will he a day of great importance in Anderson. This will br thc first annual mid-summer grain festival. All fanners in. the third congressional district are or should bo Interested as there will bu $250 in cash prizes to be distributed. The grain''?festival was planned by Forman Smith, wholesale seedsman, and he has hud thc active co-operation of J. It. Vandiver, president of the Anderson Oil & Phosphate Co.. and tho Chamber of Commerce. The public excercises, addresses by Congressman Lever, and others will be delivered at the Chamber of Com merce. J. S. Fowler will preside. The meeting will be culled to order ut 10:HO promptly. Thc object of this undertaking is to encourage thc growing of small grain in this county and in this whole section. We trust that 500 farmers will compete for these priz es. FOOLISH QUESTIONS. Ry thc way, did that lobby probe ever find any wrong with this na tion's liver? Did Huerta ever salute thc flag? What are wc going to do with that Mexican . high cockalorum who "cussed" the flag at Vera Cruz? Will a man ever be greeted pleasant ly by his wife if he comes home in a highly boisterous condition ut 4 a. m? Will u waiter ever become insulted by the offer of a tip? Will the landlord ever say: "Oh, never mind about the rent. It Is only a few mouths overdue. Let it run on1 a year or two?" Will candidates for office in South Carolina over say "My opponent ts a much nicer man than I, and nec?s tho olllcc more than I?" We never eaw a finer opportunity for unsightly poles to come down than is presented on Anderson's public square. The kind of fishing wc found most enjoyable as a boy waa to ungle a cold watermelon out of a cool spring somebody else's spring. oooooooooooooo 0 Events of the Day o oooooooooooooo Observations Gathered 'From the News Field Upton Sinclair has Informed The Tribune that at present he's busy with a new book, but that ho'll con tinuo to stand up for "free Bpecch" while (as heretofore) earnestly dep recating the use of bombs.

There had been u hrilliunt com pany at the home of a society leader -a woman whose husband, while a very worthy man, was noted rather for lils wealth than fur his mental at tainments. "Well.

"He was the man with the bandage round his neck, wasn't he?" "Yes. you heard him talk didn't you?" "Oh yes! I heard him." "What an astonishing vocabulary he has!" "Well, that may be what it is," said John doubtfully, "but from the way ho held his head I should judge it was a carbuncle." Sentiment. Discussing a popular novel of little worth, a well known critic said: "The pathos of the book ls really bathos, it reminds me of a man's widow. The good woman was about to sell her household furniture, her rugs, plated waru and what not.

HAND PRIMARY SHOWED AGAINST THE GOVERNOR (Continued from pago 1.) middling and then deliver "dog-tail" or any available "Junk." The Governor Spoke. The governor spoke directly after Scnntor Smith. He began by saying that arrangements had beea made yesterday for a loan of $350.000 to re pleaish a depleted state treasury- The rate to be paid was three and one-half per cent, Uie lowest, he said, at which the state had ever been able to borrow fu'ads. By this decreased rate, hiB vetoes of the appropriation bills had become an economic advantage. As soon as the governor had Ha lalled speaking he left the stage, but only a scattering few trailed after in the wake. As the chief executive stopped from thc stage, there were repeated calls, "Stay and take your medicine, governor!" This was an swered by, "He can't afford it!" which drew much applause. When it was remarked that so few were returning with the governor to the hotel, someone called out, " I bet all those came over from Anderson." Mayor L. I>. Jennings. Mr. Jennings said that Senator Smith had thought about what he had doue for the price of cotton so much and had talked about it so much that he actually believed that he had done these things. "But you are entitled to have someone in the senate who has more than one idea," he added. Ia discussing the governor's atti tude toward the Charleston situstino the mayor of Sumter said that he did itot expect to change one bllndtlger's or race track gambler's vote, but that he did expect to opea the eyes of the people to the fact that this class of people is trying to deceive them into believing that they represent the cause of the people. Mr. Jennings made sport of the governor's claims that he would turn out the negro mall clerks when he got to Washington. "He cannot do this," the speaker ex plained, "until he has repealed the civil service laws, and all the sena tors in the south can't do that," the speaker added. The only way he said these negroes could be deprived of these jobs woi ld be to repeal the fourteenth and fifteenth Amendments, thus depriving negroes of citizenship rights, "which is the most harmful," ho asked, "a few negro, mail clerks, passing through the state on tra?na, and earning an honest living, or OOO convicts turned leone ia your commu nity, criminals, of every , conceivable type?" ? Mr. Jennings drew a laugh v/?ien he reminded then that the governor hus repeatedly said that ho lad no?li ing to explain, yet came to Abbeville and consumed his entire time in ex plaining one casts In discrediting Richey's broken health idea, tho speaker said, "Charles P. Morse in the' federal prison In Atlanta con vinced the people tb ul he was nearly dead. Now he's In the north still robbing tho people." ' .. Mr. Pollock on the Press, .i Mr. Pollock henceforth will hold , a unique place in South Carolina poli tics. At this time when ner.spapers ore subjected to daily, ridicule and abuse, and when this s vituperation falls on willing oars, candidates are not p'/one to challenge tha cause of the uross, lest they offend a distrust? ful public.

"It ls through the newspapers that the people are informed of what ls going on. They turn on the white light of truth, and it is only the dem agogue that wishes his real self kept from the view of the people. It is he only who abuses and villifles the newspapers. But such abuse will not deter the newspapers in rendering a patriotic service to the people, be cause newspaper men love their state and are as fair and patriotic as any men, and they are doing their full share to bring about a better condi tion in South Carolina.

ABOUT CHARGES Denounce? the Yorkville En quirer For Charges Against Himself and Pollock As there has been much speculation as to why Messrs. Jennings and Pol lock entered the senatorial race, the following Statement, made by Mr. Jennings at the Abbeville meeting wi!! bo read with Interest: At this point, I desire to refer te an editorial appearing In the "Yorkville Enquirer," headed "The Plan of Bat tle." It ls stated therein-"The real race is between Smith and Blease one standing for conservatism and tho other for reform, with Jennings and Pollock helping Smith in accordance with a plan carefully pre-arrang ed* . **..?? lt ts further stated, "But Jennings and Pollock are not in this thing with out motive. There is no need for any body to deceive themselves on that score. As to Just what the selfish in terest behind the motive of these two politicians is, we do not know. Pos sibly, it ls monoy-expenses paid from some source,, sod a good bonus in addition." " As to tho statement that I am help ing Smith in accordance with a plan carefully prearranged. I desire to say that if the editor who wrote this piece ls a gentleman, he will either furnish the proof as to* the pro-ar rangement, or he will retract the statement with tho same publicity' as It was made, and if he does not do either, he is a contemptible, cowardly Uar.
