A Statemei

Giving the Facts on Roll Calls
Issued By H.
There is being given circulation i
throughout the state to a pamphlet 1
purporting to come from one H. F. <
Scaife, of Washington, D. C., mak- <
ing an attack upon my record In i
the United States Senare. The <
burden of the publication ts that I
have neglected my duties as Senator
by not attending to some of
the roll-calls.
I have challenged comparison of
my record in this respect during
the campaign and since the issu- i
ance of this circular with the average
of those Senators who stand
high in the Senate and in tnelr respective
parties. The challenge was
not accepted and for the infermation
of my "friends throughout \the
Stete T wrote to the Hon. Charles
M. Galloway, former Civil Service 1
Commissioner and now practicing !
attorney in Washington, requesting
that he compile from the Congressional
Record the record in i
respect to roll-calls of the follow- 1
ing Senators: ' i
Senator Hitchcock, Democrat, 1
chairman of the Foreign Relations i
Committee when the Democrats 1
were in control of the Senate, and
Democratic leader in the Senate f

is was shot twice, once in the heau,
nd once in the abdonieu, the third
hot fired by Ashley going wijd of
he mark.
Eye witnesses, or rather persons
i'ho were at the speaking report that'
hey were unable to ted anything'
:bout the cause of the shooting, that!
10 one knew anything about it after'
t was over. One report was to tiiej
ffect that the two men differed over,
tolitics and were discussing tne mat-1
g '
er. Hughes is attributed with makng
some remark and Asiiley made
ome more. One of the men is said to
lave offered to bet $100 on his fav-'
rite, and the other replied:
"I haven't got a hundred dollars to
iet, but I'll bet what I have and my
noney is clean money. I worked for
t, and didn't make it selling whisky."
(
r The shooting is said to have followd
this immediately. (
Another report states that Hughes
vas fired on by Ashley :ast week
vhen he was near the Ashley home,
.nd that when the two men met to-j
lay, the altercation, which ended,
a the -shooting, was commenced. !
The real cause of the snooting Is
et quite a mystery.

REPORTS OF HEALTH!
!
!..!? FiV?f MnntK in Lone Time,"
Without Case | j
It will be noticed that the state j I
board of health in the following re- i I
port gives Abbeville a clean bill,11
not a single case of disease of any]j
nature being reported from the j |
county. The report goes on to say !
that not a single case of influenza I
was reported to the state health of- I
fice during the month of July, ac- j
cording to the summary of reports |
recently completed. Influenza has |
occupied a prominent place^ on the j
monthly reports since the fearful j
epidemic of 1918, but the number j
of cases has been gradually decreas- j
ing and during July not a single j
case was reported at the health of- ,
fice. j
une nunarea ana two cases ui ujr- .
phoid were reported during the J
month. Twelve of these cases were I
I
from Calhoun, ten from Chester, I
seven each from Newebrry, Orange- i
burg, Richland and Spartanburg j
and eight from York. All told, 21 j
counties reported one or more j
cases of typhoid. It is noted that the j
greater number of cases are re- j
ported from counties having health j
organizations, which means that the j
reporting is more accurate and com
plete than in some counties which
have no such organizations.
Fifty-eight cases of diphtheria J
were reported during July, 16 be- |
f I '
ing reported from Lexington and .
seven from Spartanburg. Thirty!,
cases of hookworm were reported
from Orangeburg and 12 from Lee 'j
counties. Total cases of malaria1
numbered 114; of these 24 were re-j
ported from Calhoun; 14 fromj
Chester, 12 from Lee and 25 from
Orangeburg. I
All told, 34 cases of smallpox were
reported during the month. Five of I
these were from Richland, five
from Charleston; six from Dorchester
and nine from Greenville.
During the month 54*cases of tuDerculosis
were reported to the f
lealth offices. ' jtl

a further tumble in sugar
rices. There were indications, offiials
