Vlce-PreBldent i W. T. Walker, secretary ana mauagci Wednesday, Aug. 28, 1912 Well, it's over at last. Business has waited on polities; Many were called, but few "shoved in." Everybody declared for the split log drag. The returns show that Good Roads have been elected. Have you contributed that dollar; to the cause of Democracy ? The congestion of the anxious ' bench is considerably relieved. Somehow the country fails to en- [ thuse over the Roosevelt party. The belting was even that the County Fair this year would be the best ever. Don't let your politic* or your re ligion interfere with your coming to the county fair. Everybody is willing to vote for the split-log drag, no matter if he is in the middle of the road. Just when we were hoping for a little quietude, along comes news of a revolution in iMcaragua. The county fair will present a splendid opportunity for everybody to become acquainted with the split log drag. Good roads and good schools were favored by every candidate. The thing to do is to find some practical way to get them. Now that a Harvard professor has claimed to have succeeded in making hot; ice, it only remains for some one discover a method of making cold fire. The state of Georgia has actually ; held an election for governor when 1 we scarcely knew there was a cam- ' paign in progress. Too much "pussy-footing" over there, we are afraid. It is a source of gratification to the people of Abbeville that they will be able to furnish the people of the be nighted communities of Anderson and Greenwood with some first-class amusement during the coming the atrical season. According to a statement by David Clark, editor of the Southern Textile Bulletin, when orders now placed have been filled, the South will have in operation in cotton mills 13,500,000 cotton spiudles, as against 16,500,000 in the North. John D. Archbold, head of the Standard Oil Company, has testified that his company contributed $125,000 to Mr. Roosevelt's campaign fund in 1004, and that the contribu tion was accepted with Mr. Roose velt's knowledge and consent. Without a careful study of the question, it seems ridiculous to ex pect that the United States would ex pend so much time and money ou < the Panama canal and then fail to i give her own people, who will pay j for the canal, some advantage over I foreigners who will reap almost as < great an advantage. i Says the Augusta Chronicle with ' reference to the Democratic cam paign, just closed in Georgia: "Pol iticians have ascertained that the 1 best way in which to reach the peo- ; pie is through the newspapers, and that touring the country in efforts to < meet the voter face to face is far < more expensive and far less effec- i > tive." Reads like a tale front the < Arabian Nights. i How Paint The lirst cost of a good job of paint? 1 Devoe? is $50 (average size, of course), j The llrst cost of a second or third or fourth , rate job, J55 to $100. The wear is likewise. The better you paint, of course, the longer it wears. And the more you pay for your job, tho shorter it wears ! Devoe is one of a dozen good paints. There are hundreds of bad ones. As like ly ;as not, Devoe is the only good one in i this town. DEVOE 1 P. B. Speed sells it. For fteut.

Buseell. / ^SSSSSSBI^SBSBSsSSSBSBBSSSSS FOR A BETTER CAMPAIGN, t At the closing meeting of the State c ?ampaign in Greenville Thursday j Fraser Lyon took occasion to point nut to the |>eople of South Carolina the danger to the State which will * underlie it failure to adopt some measure for the purification oi our primary system as at present con ducted. Mr. Lvon correctly showed i' that if some means were not adopted 1 for conducting the canvass upon a ^ different plan it will be next to im- ( possible for the State to secure the ( services of her best sons, localise a * man of character and attainment will ' be unwilling to place himself upon * the level of such a campaign and to ( subject himself to the abuse and de nunciation of one who may be an unworthy and unscrupulous oppo- 1 nent. While there are some voters 1 who delight to hear the stuff, that j usually passes current for "hot stuff," while some may find themselves < tuiiused in listening to two opponents ' for high offices borate one another, < we believe that Ihere is in tne Dreasis ? of the majority of the people of the ( State an abhorrence of a campaign 1 inch as the one through which we 1 have just passed, and that, left to 1 themselves, they will demand that the men who aspire to lead them 1 shall be worthy of leadership by rca- l son of character and ability and that j those who seek their suffrage shall < address them in terms that must be i nt'least respectful to the audience. \ The present campaign 1ms been an 1 unusual one, but if it has demon- \ jtrated one thing more than another 1 it has proved that the minority of t the people of this State are peace- i loving, because with feeling wrought \ to a higher pitch than in any cam- a paign in 20 years, th?re has been no *+ious disorder, and, with the ex ception of one or two counties, the campaign meetings have been re markably free from serious disturb- t inces, and every candidate has had ( tils day in court before the bar of i public opinion. i But, nevertheless, some of the j campaigners themselves have been lefcs respectful than their audiences j *nd the general level of the cam -- ?--? iL. I_ | ..f 5 paign nas oeen oeiow me ievei in mr iverage voter. It is mow too late b> attempt to lay the blame for this, because the peo ple will have expressed themselves n'hen this is read. > The thing to lo is for patriotic men, regardless of the outcome of this election, to re flect deeply upon the indignities of the campaign just close*I and to for mulate some plan which will prevent i recurrence of like conditions. In theory there is no fault with the jounty-to-county canvass. Rightly used, it can he made a useful instru ment for the enlightenment of tho !>eopleand would accomplish all that its most ardent champions had hoped, but, as conducted this year, it ' in calculated only to chea|ien the re- j >pect which our people have goner-.* illy held for the men who have tilled ^ the high positions of honor and trust j tmong us, to lower the standard of , the men who offer themselves as leaders, and to inculcate in the minds >f our youth false ideals ami impress | upon their plastic minds the false | notion that it requires bravery to , stand up before an assembly and denounce an op]>ouent in terms al most unfit for decent ears, when, as , i matter of fact, it takes more real j bravery to maintain one's equipoise under damaging though false charges And refrain from a retort in kind, than it does to originate a vicious , Attack under circumstances where f conditions practically prevent per sonal encounter. The improvement of the campaign j in future presents a problem which ( aalls for the best thought of our most . patriotic men. Unless something is clone this paper will advocate the ab L>lition of the couuty-to-county can vass and the substitution of the Geor gia plan, under which each candidate * inducts his own campaign in his dwii way. . NEXT?THE FAIR. j Politics has absorbed the attention [)f everybody for the last few weeks, lo the exclusion of every other topic ' and to the practical stagnation of ] business. Now that the campaign is I Bnded, is it not high time to turn to ^ the practical constructive work which will prove of benefit in the up building and developing of Abbe- ' vilhs county? As a first means to that end there i occurs the county fair, which this i year will be held October 16,17,18. As an opportunity for the inter- ] change of ideas that will prove beneti- i cial to those who devote themselves to agriculture there is no instrument of more potency. Friendly rivalry in the production of the best specimens in all departments of agriculture is \ 3ure to lead to more thorough inves- ( ligation of the Ix^st methods for the J attainment or individual perfection i and the knowledge gained in at- j tempting, to produce a single exam- i pie for exhibition purposes will be of help in improving the. standard of the entire species. i Experience is the greatest of teach- ( ers, and when the individual has an - opportunity to hear the exi?erience of his neighbors in meeting the prob- ] lems with which he himself is con fronted he is apt to gain information that will prove of lasting beuetit. We presume that arrangements \ have been made with the authorities ' of Clemson College for an agricul ural expert to be present and dem >nstrate some of the advanced ideas >n agriculture which have resulted 'roin the study of the science at that iplendid institution. This feature ilone would amply repay for the ;ime and effort spent in attending he county fair. In addition to these, there is the social feature, which will add so nuch to the pleasure of the fair. Friends in different sections of the ,'ounty who may not have seen each it her for many years will be present id with an opportunity to renew ;heir acquaintance and spend some Lime in pleasant social intercourse, an )pportunity well worth taking ad vantage of. Amusements of all kinds will he provided, and no one will go away without having had a chance to en oy a pleasant and profitable time. As a feature that may be worthy of jonsideration, we would offer the suggestion to those in charge that an jffbrt be made to secure the attend mce of a good roads expert from the lepartinent of agriculture and that a practical demonstration be given of ;he method of construction and oper ition of the split-log drag. By all means let's have a large at endance at the county lair. The nen who are promoting the enter prise and working for its success are giving their time and energies with 10 hope of reward other than that vhich comes from a consciousness of laving contributed to'the general velfare. They are entitled to the learty cooperation of every citizen in heir work. Be sure they have ,'ours. 'Your presence at the fair vith an exhibit will best attest your ippreciation. THE WAREHOUSE HILL. ?-i., 1 Ti i lie rrew nuu uniiuci juhjh.^ih rj his week in full the proposed new x>tton warehouse act, prepared by Messrs. John L. McLaurin and K. ^V. Dabbs, acting under instructions roni the State Farmers' Union. It will be remembered that at the ast session of the General Assembly tn act providing: for a system of State varehouses was passed, but was de clared unconstitutional by the su >rt?me court, in a recent decision, by eason of the manner in which the ict was sought to be made effective. Yt the same time the court laid down he doctrine that the basic principle nvolved in the act was not repujj lant to the constitution, but came rlearly within the scope of the police lowers of the State. The decision, f we are correctly informed, laid lown a new principle of law, which nay he of far-reaching effect, and A'as the first pronouncement along iiinihir lines of any of our courts. Messrs. Meljiiurin and pabbs have jrepared a hill which, it is helieved, iyill meet the objections which stood |i the way of Inst year's act becom ng operative, while, at the same line they have broadened somewhat he scope of the act, endeavoring to nake provision for a uniform system )f packing and grading, so that the' ;ottou of South Carolina, when it en ;ers the markets of the world, will mve a well recognized standard of bailie. unquesuonamy,mere is lost 10 me; ;otton growers of the South each year a large sum by reason of the ilipshod manner in which their pro-l iuet is prepared for foreign markets, uid any measure that will give to mr cotton a fixed standard of quality A'ill in itself eliminate a large ele ment of Iosp. The act, as prepared by Messrs. Me-1 Laurin and Dabbs, is cast along t>road and general lines and the de-1 tails are left mainly to the commis j ion ere provided for. The act and the explanation offered t>y its authors is presented in full, :hat our readers may inform them selves, aW it is hoped all will avail themselves of the opportunity pre sented to become conversant with a topic which is of such vital import mce to the people of the cotton-grow ing States.
