Don't forget to get a registration
certificate.
After all, it would seem to be a
very bad year for dark horses.
The national Democratic conven
tion was the occasion for as much
swapping as the old-time county fair.
We are reliably informed thai
there is now in progress in this State
a campaign for United States senator.
Mrs. Taft was at Baltimore during
the Democratic convention to get a
glimpse of the next president.
We know that Baltimore was lo
cated on the first page last week, but
where in thunder was Oyster Bay V
What a pity one of the candidate?
for governor is not an Abbeville man.
There would then be no speculation
alwnit the result.
Somebody asks what has bccoim
of the old-fashioned lady who put up
her own fruit. She'll be at the Ab
beville county fair this fall.
Mr. Joe Elgin, while at the fire
men's tournament, claimed to be tht
mau who put the Rock in Rock Hill.
These Abbeville boys will lead.
Gov. Had ley of Missouri could
have been the Republican nomine*
had Roosevelt consented, but it wa
noinination or bust with the colonel.
In Greenville county there are so
far only three announced candidate*
for the six representatives in the gen
eral assembly.
The Savannah Press asks the ques
tion "Is perpetual youth possible?"
It may be possible in Abbeville, but
in Savannah?never.
The State Firemen's Con vent ioi>
accepted the invitation of Abbevilh
to hold the annual tournament hen
in 1918. We are sure the convention
will be royally entertained.
In Milwaukee the doctors are at
tempting to substitute nose-rubbing
for kissing, which may just be anoth
er attempt to make Milwaukee fa
mous.
The startling inroads being made
by the dread pellagra should incite
our people to grow more corn and
watch its milling with the greatest
care.
Had Solicitor Bonham asked for a
special term of court to try Vaughan,
x as requested to do, the electric chair
might not have been robbed of its
just dues.

indebted to them.
THE BUILDING AND LOAN.
On July 20 the Building and Loan
Association will open its books of,
subscription to the 8th series ol
stock. The response should be both
immediate and liberal.
There is no institution which has
proved more beneficial to the people
of Southern towns than their build
ing and loan associations, which have ,
done so much to encourage thrift by ,
holding out inducements for system
atic savings by salaried men and by
providing means for the acquirement
of homes by those of limited means
upon terms which make property
owning a matter of comparative (
ease.
If it were possible to secure an ac
curate census of the homes built in
this State through building and loan
associations, it would show every
community in South Carolina large
ly indebted to these beneficent asso
ciations for much of their progress
and expansion.
But there is still another phase of
the building and loan associations?
the investment feature. The writer
knows of more than one young man
who, through his savings in this
way, accumulated sufficient capital
to engage in business for himself,
raising himself from a position
of obscurity to one of prominence
and influence in his community.
So we say, especially to the young
men of Abbeville, do not neglect this
opportunity of making provision for
your old age in a way that will make
the burden seem light. The chance
will not long be open to you. See'
that you take advantage of it!

IOONOCLASMj
Itsbemsthat both thti liepiiblicilii
and Democratic parties are makiug
records in image breaking. Roose
velt, the idol of the Republican par
ty, and Bryan, the idol of the Dem
ocratic party, have both met defeat
in their respective camps within the
9hort space of one week.
While the rank and file of the
American people are in full accord
with the principles for which both
Rooseveli and Bryan are contending;,
they are not willing to concede, that
in them or the men of their selection
alone, win be found leaders who have
the ability and the integrity to push'
those principles until they have be- 1
come law. Both Bryan and Roose
velt manifestly think themselves
mightier than their respective par
ties. The former is rebellious?the
latter has actually bolted. Great is
the danger of a continuation of high
tariff" and trust graft, but the danger
of one man power is itself a menace.
Cromwell was the idol of the Eng
lish common people, and his reforms
changed the trend of English history
lor the better, but he became no less
a tyrant than Charles I. whom he be
headed.
The Democratic party has not lost
its admiration for Mr. Bryau. It
realizes that almost every plank in
its-present platform lias been vital
ized by his untiring labors, but it
realizes as well that "discretion is of
ten the better part of valor." It is
all right to outvote Tammauy and
the so-called Ityau contingent, but to
o{H'uly insult them at a time when
every Democratic vote is needed is
to invite defeat. New York State
has a Democratic governor, and there
is no good reason why it should not
go Democratic in the presidential
election. If Roosevelt doesn't run,
the Democrats will find some need
for this vote if they hope to land. It
is good policy to coax or whip then. 1
into line, but it is very poor policy
to throw them out of the window.
FKLDKK'S TESTIMONY.
It. whs ? little beneath the diernitv
>f a Legislative investigating com
mittee to move its court to Chnrles
ion in order to round up the Grace
testimony of graft by the GovernorV
constables, but since a pretty clear
case was made out, and the expense
if bringing witnesses to Columbia
would have been very great, theii i
act is justified in the public eye.
But to move its court outside the 1
limits of the State is without excuse, '
and, whatever the testimony ad
vanced, it can not and will not I e
taken at its real value.

sion of those facts many months ago. <
If he has such facts, and has withheld
them to this late day, the revelation

soil. It looks too much like the act ;
of a coward to make grave charged \
against an official of ir'outh Carolina
and when counter charges are mad |
to dodge the laws of South Carolina J
rather than meet the counter charges
squarely. Why not cometoColum- ,
bia, submit to arrest, give bond and ,
meet all accusers lace to face.
There has already been every i>os- '
sible effort used to discredit Felder's 1
testimony, and when he slips off to a
corner of another State to deliver it, '
the act itself discredits it. (
There are thousands of men in i
South Carolina who are undecided, i
but who, by reason of the grave 1
charges that have been insinuated 1
against the Governor, have been dis- j
posed to turn from him. They have
anxiously awaited the facts, and
now, after the campaign has opened, .
the facts, if facts there be, must come (
from a dodirintr witness. The testi- i
mony will be more or less discred
ited as campaign fabrications, from
one who, it will be said, is himself
unwilling to face similar charges. ; ,
It is regrettable that Mr. Felder did
not give his testimony sooner, and
that he had not first faced a South
Carolina jury, and if innocent, been
wholly acquitted of guilt.
Few people of tins State have real
ly believed Mr. Felder guilty of any
criminal act in connection with the
dispensary, but Mr. Felder or his
advisers have certainly weakened
the force of his testimony. *
Great interest is manifested
throughout the United States in the
development of the phosphate depos
its in the Southern States. It is as
serted that many millions of dollars
worth of fertilizers have already
been extracted from the phosphate
rocks of Florida, the Carolinas and
Tennessee, and that prospecting is 1
proceeding in a number of other ,
states with excellent prospects of sue- \
cess. In the meantime the agricul- '
tural department has been advised 1
that a chemist in New York has per- '
fected a method of doubling the avail- j
able soluble phosphoric acid of every
ton of the rock now in sight and ,
which may hereafter be uncovered. ,
The department expects as a result I
of the experiments made with this
new process that the plant food of
the phosphate rock deposits will be 1
doubled in value and that the agri- ,
cultural interests of the country will
be benefitted thereby, because of the
consequent reduction in price of all ^
fertilizers of which "the component j
part of chief value" is extracted from ?
the southern deposits. . Il

INTEREST 8REAT IN CAMPAIGN
Wyatt Aiken Taylor Tells of
Meetings Held in Several
Couutes.
In the Columbia Record of Thursday
Wyatt Aiken Taylor, representing Llmt
paper vriih the State campaign party,
(fives the following summary of the circus
to date:
Two meetings of the campaign this week
stand out as among the unusual of the
campaign of iK12, that at Florence on Tues
day and that at Dillon yesterday. The
former was marked by a large sentiment
in favor of Blease and the largest share of
the demonstration for him, while the meet
ing at Dillon marked by demonstration for
Judge Jones and by a strong Jones senti
ment. There were cheeiB and hurrahs for
paoh of these Candidates at both of these
meetings, but at one the Blease sentiment
was apparently in the majority and at the
other the Jones support appeared to be in
power.
The Florence meeting was marked by
the greatest disorder and the greatest num
ber of sensations of any yet of the cam
paign, and while the crowd at Dillon was
little less demonstrative there was lacking
the element of disorder and rowdyness
that so mailed the Florence gathering
There was applause at Dillon for Jones
and Bteasef but the applauso was confiued
i- -nil whilRlltFldl'
IU uumo OIIU uuuu-v.wj-,/i..0 ,
oncc there Were shouts of every deserlp
Lion, jeeis, hissings and all imaginable
forms of campaign uproarings.
? Ladies Pbesent.
One feature of the meeting at Dillon was
the large number of ladies present. There
were several scores of the fair ones of the
Pee Dee section present and they were not
wanting when it came time to shout for
one favored" candidate or another. Ladies
in the Dillon audience presented Judge
Jones and Attorney General Lyon with
flowers. ' *'
Fob Jonhs ob Blease?
There is a, question that is always ask
ed after one of the campaign meetings and
that Is, "Was it a Blease or a Jones crowd?"
This question can be partly answered by a
careful diagnosis of the applause and greet
ing accorded the candidates, through there
are sometimes elements to be considered
which are not portrayed in the demonstra
tions. For instance the crowd may be
gathered largely from one section of the
country, either a Jones or a Blease section,
and this may cause the applause to be one
sided. At the meeting there were evidenc
t53 of drunkenness and this likely added
to the noise of applause.
How They Stand.
If demonstration and applause were an
Index of the political sentiment in a county,
Lhe counties thus far visisted by the can
didates could bo lined up as follows:
Sumter is for Jones.
Lee county will go for Blease.
Marlboro county will vote for Jud^o
lones.
Florence will go for Governor Blea.se.
Dillon is aJones county.
Darlington and Chesterfield, jndged by
the campaign meeting applause, are al
most equally divided, with probably a
slight majority of the voters in the former
favoring Judge Jones' election and Gov
ernor Blease'holding Chesterfield county
by a slight majority.
However, such predictions are based
3olely ou the demonstration of the crowds
at the campaign meetings and their cor
rectness would likely seem refutable when
viewed in the light of "convictions" main
tained b? certain obdurate politicians in
several counties.
For instance, a citizen of Florence county
states that the crowd in the theatre there
sras almost the entire Blease strength of
the county and the demonstration was
therefore no indication of the county's
jolitical standing. Another citizen strong
y maintained that the sentiment mani
fested ther was a clear expression of the
sentiment of the voting population of
;ne county.
Blkasb the Campaigner.
A fact that must be considered in review
,ug the campaign is the masterfulness of
Sovernor Biease as a campaigner and as a
nan who can play upon the fancies of a
throng. In many of the meetings Gover
nor Biease has gotten the better hold on
the voters present and by his art of hand
ing a tense political situation has won for
tiimsolf theplaudits of hundrds of hearers.
However, Judge Jones has at several re
cent meetings gotton a better "holu" on
lis hearers and the expression is often,
heard, "Judge Joues is impioving as a
itump speaker as the campaign goes on."
Some one has said that for an opponeet
>r a hearer to answer a charge or an im
putation made by Governor Biease is like
& baseball player trying to answer the
rootings of a stand of fans. No matter
hoW reasonable the answer of a player to
the criticism of the bleachers, his reply
will be hooted and a criticism more bitter
t>e hurled at him. Governor Biease has
the art of always being ready with an
4-l?a /lnmnn/1
SiUBWUr, I1U lUttLLtJI JIUW JUOI/ ui-uiftiiu
made on hlra, and that answer usually is
if such nature as to gain for him the plau
iits of his followers to the confusion of his
opponents.
On Sepehate Coaoii Law
Judge Jones at Dillon advanced a new
inswer to the charge of Governor Blouse
that he had voted for social equality on the
separate coach law, this reply taking his
hearers by storm. This was that there
were others prominent in the state's affairs
that had voted with him on the measure,
iome of whom are Blease supporters now.
Mid he listed several who had voted as did
he on the law. Among those named by
Judge Jones wero D. Mclntyre, L. M. llog

Pee Dee Advocate Asserts Some
Interesting Tilings in Cor

The Pee Dee Advocate of last week had

who was upholding Governor Blease and
making some unfounded charges against
Judge Jones. The Advocate in the course
r\f i*a i-ot.iir mi l. cimip inf.ArnKt.ini/ fants
about the corporation support Governor
Blease is receiving. It says:
"Since he has presented absolutely noth
ing to sustain his assertion that Jones is
the corporation candidate and "represents
money and power," while "Blease repre
sents poverty and weakness," we deem it
unnecessary to add anything to the indis
putable evidence which we presented last
week. But to keep from getting out of
practice we give the following additional
facts, which are matters of record and com
mon knowledge.
1. Cole L. Blease was a railroad attorney
before his election as governor.

When I moved a little over two years

to do ail I possibly could to improve my
worn-out land by sowing eowpeas. To my
surprise, some of my neighbors told me
that if I did I would have to buy niy seed
every year, for they would not mature on
this old sandy land of mine.
Nevertheless, In 1910, after I had har- ,
vested my little crop of wheat and oats, I '
sowed and planted the same land in cow- i
peas, which made a yield of 35 bushels.

T1IH ESCAPE OF VAUGHN. H
Anderson Mail. I j
Mr. Jas. H. Craig, grand mast r of the ]
Independent Order of Odd Fellows in South ;1
Carolina, was very much disturbed when!
he learned of the escape of T. U. Vaughn 1
from the jail at Greenville. He declared j
that the public has no idea of the enormity
of the crime of this man, and that Vaughn's (
action iu flight is the surest proof of his
guilt. <
Vaughn sonic time ago mortgaged his I
piacc for $4,000 in cash and had an auto- j
mobile, so it is feared that ho will'make i
good his escape. Mr. Craig declares that
the Clarence Richeson case was nothing I
in comparison with this one and that in
stead of Vaughn ruining the life of just ^
one orphaned girl, entrusted to his fo6ter
ing care and protection, he actually ruined
five little girls under the lawful age and (
that they have made depositions telling J
how they had been forced and how they
hiul feared to tell of this man's enormous ?
crimes. 1
Every citizen of this or of any other ^
state who wishes to see a fiend in human
form get his deserts will aid the Odd Fel- *
lows of South Carolina to capture this man
Vaughn. Ilis flight is convincing proof i
of liie guilt.
