WEATHER HAS INJURED CROrs.
Gol. J. C. Striming Says that All Rot
fom Corn was Rained.
?
(Greenville News, 30th.)
Col. J. C. Stribling, of Pendleton,
was in Greenville yesterday. He
talked interestingly, as usual, to a
News reporter on crops, the recent
freshets and politics.
The floods, he said, didn't do near
as much damage to crops and prop
erty iu his immediate neighborhood
as they did further down. Nearly all
bottom corn was rulued. Tho dam
age to the cotton crop by the freshet
itself did not amount to a great deal,
but the unfavorable weather of the
past two or three weeks has been
greatly against it. The few exces
sively hot days, followed by a period
of moisture, and then by cool wea
ther, without sunshine, made the
worst combination possible against
the plant.
Col. Stribling was talking to Prof.
Harper, head of the Agricultural De
partment at Clemson College, yester
day about the condition of the cotton
crop, and Prof. Harper told him that
he had never caen as many insects
on cotton as he has found in the past
few days. The insects are of several
varieties and they are killing the
fruit.
The condition which prevails in
this section of South Carolina Is also
prevalent in North Carolina, all over
this State, In Georgia and as far to
the West as alabama, because the
weather conditions have been about
tho same In there States. C?>?. Strib
ling doesn't think the Piedmont re
gion of South Carolina will make
more than half a ( rop pf cotton.

0R.KINO1 NEW DISCOVERY
WU! Sursly Stop Thal Cough.
VOTE FOR E. D. SMITH FOR U. 8.
SENATE.
Why You Should Vote for E. <>.
Smith for United States Senator.
Because your prosperity and the
development of the resources of the
State depend upon the price ot cot
ton. Because he bas devoted the
prime of his life, in conjunction with
others, to secure a profitably price to
the producers cf cotton. Because he
has spoken from one end of the South
to the other, arousing people on the
question of the value of cotton. He
has demonstrated to all classes, pro
fessions and vocations, their utter
and complete dependency on the
price secured for cotton. He has
convinced the merchant, the doctor,
the lawyer and the preacher that the
fight for high priced cotton was as
much their light as the fight of the
producers. He has e wakened the
people to the right of the producer
to a voice in fixing the price of cot
ton. He has denied and disputed the
right of the New York and Liverpool
Cotton Exchanges to place a price on
the cotton of Southern farmers. He
has attacked and exposed the outra
geous methods of Cotton Exchange
and Bucket Shops. He has been the
eloquent spokesman of ten raillionr
of poople in the South dependent
upon the price of cotton, pleading for
them, for un equal opportunity in
life for a fair share of the product
of their labors and self-denial. He
has convinced them that the South
has a practical monopoly of cotton.
He has given the best thought of his
life to the agricultural interest of the
South. By virtue of his earnest
study of this great interest and his
ability to express himself forcibly
and eloquently, he ls better equipped
than any one of his opponents to
place before the people of the United
States the claims and rights of the
Southern people. He began his fight
on behalf of higher priced cotton, at
Shreveport, La., December, 1904.
Take the price of cotton for the four
years before 1904 and see how much
better the prices have been since
1904. It is conceded by all that no
cause has ever had a more persistent,
untiring and eloquent champion than
E. D. Smith has been in the cause of
higher priced cotton. As a result of
higher priced cotton, the farmers
have become more Independent, the
homes more comfortable, the mer
chants more prosperous, the banks
more numerous and stronger, the
school houses larger and more at
ti active, the lawyer has collected his
fees, tho doctor his bills and the
preacher his subscription. For this
work he has practically received no
compensation. Show your apprecia
tion of the work of E. D. Smith by
casting your vote for him on Sep
tember 8th. With the salary of a
United States Senator and the pres
tige of the position he will be in a
better position than ever to fight this
great battle for the people of the
South.
Read the estimation of represen
tative Southern men on the work of
E. D. Smith in their respective
States:
"I consider E. D. Smith's power and
Influence in organizing Southern Cot
ton Association in this State as su
perb. (Signed) W. L. Foster.
"United States Senator from Louisi
ana, and member of the Executive

ciation."
"The help of E. D. Smith to the
cotton growers of North Carolina
can't be over-estimated. He did a
great work for us and we appreciate
his efforts. (Signed) C. C. Moore,
"Presider' North" Carolina Division
of the hern Cotton Associa
tion."
"The three years' work of E. D.
Smith of education along the llne of
organization of the cotton growers
of Alabama has been of inestimable
value. (Signed. Chas. L. Gay,
"Member Executive Committee Ala
bama Division Southern Cotton As

"I regard tho work of E. D. Smith,
that has been carried on through the
Cotton Association for the past four
years, as worth millions of dollars to
the people of Louisiana and the
South. (Signed) Paul M. Potts,
"Member House of Representatives
and President Louisiana Division
Southern Cotton As?ociation."
"The work of E. L?. Smith in be
half of the cotton growers of Texas
has been brilliant and most effective.
No one has presented the question of
handling and selling cotton of the
South with as much effect and elo
quence as Mr. Smith. Signed)
"R. T. Milner,

"E. D. Smith's services to cotton
growers in Texas were of exceeding
great value. Would like to have him
In Texas for the next ten years.
"(Signed) J. C. Rickey,
"Member Executive Committee of
Southern Cotton Association."
Don't be mislead by those who at
the last hour circulate false reports.
They had their opportunity to make
their charge at each campaign meet
ing where Smith spoke. Such meth
ods are utterly unworthy of honora
ble men and should influence no one.

The Flood n?U\ UH F.ffeets,
Columbia, Aug. 29.-The raiiorad
situation has only slightly improved
Lo-day, and the Southern's line to
Charlotte ls the only line In and out
nf Columbia which ls operating wlth
aut a break.
The flood crest had to-day reached
Ringville, where the Southern's long
bridge crosses the Congaree to Fort
Motte, and at this point the waters
af the Congaree and Wateree, only a
cw miles away, are piled up for miles
aver the fertile fields and tho tracks,
reaching to the second stories of
dwelling houses and Btores in the vii.
ages and on tho farms of that usually
rich and prospeours section. The
damage to the railroad tracks is
jomething tremendous In that vicin
ity and it ls not unlikely that the
Southern will bo unable for several
lays, perhaps a week, to operate Itu
trains over the Ringville trestles, but
the loss which falls on tho farmers
?ind stock raisers of the lower Rich
land, Calhoun, Orangeburg and Sum
ter counties In the confluence of the
two rivers is relatively much larger
lt is appallingly tremendous.
MR. BONHAM FOR SOLICITOR.
To the Democratic Voters o? the
Tenth Circuit:
Through the kindness o? the voters
throughout this Circuit in the first
primary election, I am in the second
race for Solicitor. I desire to express
my thanks for this generous support,
and shall always be profoundly grate
ful for lt.
It has been suggested that I am too
young for this office. T am twenty
five years old. At that age Hon. W.
A. Barber was elected Attorney Gen
eral of this State, and so distinguish
ed himself that he was re-elected
without opposition. Hon. Thos. 8.
Sc,iso. of Spartanburg, was elected
Solicitor of the Second Circuit when
he was younger than I am, and he is
recognized as one of the ablest prose
cuting officers In the State. Hon.
Geo. Bell Timmerman was elected So
licitor of the Fifth Circuit at the age
of twenty-three, and so well ha? he
performed his duties that he has just
been re-elected without opposition.
I feel myself fully competent to
discharge the duties of the office with
credit to myself and with full regard
to the public interest. That I am
thus judged by the people who know
me best is demonstrated by the fact
that I led the ticket in my old home
county of Anderson, and in the city
of Anderson, where I formerly lived,
a.\d in the city of Greenville, where
I now live.
I not only read law in the office of
lawyers of vide reputation for legal
learning.and who are among the lead
ing lawyers of the State, but I took
a course in the Law School of the
University of North Carolina, and
have for several years been in the ac
tive practice of my profession in
Greenville.
Again expressing my appreciation
of the handsome vote given me, and
assuring you of my gratefulness for
your vote and influence at the com
ing election, 1 am,
Yours very truly,
Proctor A. Bonham.
Solicitor I ion lia m.
(From the Greenville News.)
The following editorial from the
Anderson Intelligencer will be read
with Interest by the people of Green
ville who know Mr. Bonham:
"Proctor A. Bonham, Esq., who
will be In the second race for Solici
tor from i li is Circuit, has an address
in this issue which will be of interest
to tho voters of this county.
"The splendid race which Mr. Bon
ham made in the entire district is an
excellent tribute to his ability and 1
was something of a surprise to some
of the older politicians, who were
tearful lest his youth should militate
against his chancer. There seems
to be, however, a growing demand
for active, energetic nnd vigorous
prosecuting officers all over the State,
and the result ls no surprise to those
who know Mr. Bonham's ability, and
who are acquainted with his fearless
integrity. j
"The hundsome vote given kim in
this county, in spite of the fae that
Anderson had two able and tho? >ugh
ly competent candidates in the race,
will doubtless be an indication of an
almost solid vote for him In the sec- j
ond primary.
"Reports from all over the district
point to an overwhelming victory for
him, and his mother county can be
depended upon to do her part loyally
by him."-(adv.
Gruesome Sight at Pelzer.
Anderson, Aug. 28.-People In the
city this morning from Pelzer say
that a crowd stood on the river bank
Wednesday morning, watching the
flood water pour over the dam. The
river was filled with trees and debris j
of every description. As the people
watched they saw a pair of mules
hitched to a buggy float dowji stream,
go over the dam and disappear into
the rapid current below. A little
later a horse hitched to a buggy came
along. A trunk was tied on the rear
of the buggy. A little later the body
of a little white child floated down,
went over the dam and disappeared.
The water was so high and turbulent
that nothing could be done to rescue
the body of the child, and lt disap
peared Immediately after going over
the dam. No other human body was
seen in the river. It is not known
to whom the buggies and mules be
longed, but the supposition ls that
they were caught when some of the
bridges above Pelzer went down. It
Ia not known whether any lives other
than that of the child were lost and
the identity of the child has not yet
been discovered.
SEND E. D. SMITH TO SENATE.
Some GOQd Bensons Why He Should
Represent South Carollsu in that
Body.
Some of the politicians have charg
ed that Hon. E. D. Smith has used
the Southern Cotton Association asa
means of riding into office, but the
thinking man, the farmer-the real
producer of wealth-and even the
business man, must admit that the
work done by E. D. Smith through
out the South and in South Carolina
particularly, has brought more
money to the farmer, the merchant,
the doctor, lawyer and to every other
class than that of any other man who
has espoused the cause of the South,
ills work has brought results in the
increased price of cotton which Mr.
Smith and his nsosclates are largely
responsible for bringing about, has
made the people of South Carolina
all of them-more prosperous than
they havv" ever been before.
Mr. Smith attended the University
of South Carolina and 1H an alum
nus of Wofford College. He received
his master's degree at Vanderbilt
University, the great Methodist In
stitution of the South.
He comes of distinguished ances
tors, being a brother of the lamont
ed Bishop A. Coke Smith.
Mr. Smith is an orator of national
repute, and would be able to hold
his own with the "giants" of the
Senate.
With Mr. Smith in the United
States Senate, South Carolina would
again come into her own and be
heard from by the rest of thecountry.
Mr. Smith has a world of energy; ho
would not only hold his own on the
floor of the Senate, but his energetic
work In the committee room would
count for South Carolina.-(adv.
CA HI) FROM MR. McSWAIN.
Greenville, Aug. 31, 1908.
Editora Keowee Courier: Please
permit me to use your columns to
thank the pei; >le of your city and sur
rounding country for the magnificent
vote given me In the first primary. I
am in the second primary, and have
no excuses or explanations to make
for my candidacy. I am neither too
old, nor too young. YouV readers
know that 1 have practiced law many
years. I have tried a large number
and great variety of cases. If I have
succeeded, lt was without a father's
"pull," or tho "push" of wealthy
friends. I am my own candidate. No
man, nor set of men is "fathering"
me in this race. I stand alone on
my own record and character.
I am anxious to win, not for the
salary, or the honor alone, but for the
splendid opportunity the office gives
for service for the uplifting of the
country. By my public addresses for
years, by my speeches in this cam
paign, and by printed articles, I have
been seeking to form public opinion
in favor of reverence of, and observ
ance of, law. Having scattered the
?seed, shall I not be permitted to reap?
I now ask the people to help me
in the second primary. I know the
people wish the laws Impartially en
forced. I certainly am fixed in my
determination to cafry out the law,
without fear of the powerful, with
out favor toward friends, with malice
toward none, for the protection of
the weak and innocent.
Yours, J. J. McSwain.
HOME REASONS WHY
J. J. McSWAIN
SHOULD BE ELECTED SOLICITOR.
First-Because he stands squarely
tc the enforcement of all the law,
all the time, among all classes.
Second-Because he has boldly de
clared his determination to prosecute
vigorously cases where those laws
! made to protect the morals of the
j people, have been wilfully violated,
i such as "blind tigers," professional
I gamblers, etc.
j Third-Because the gamblers and
? "blind tigers" nre fighting J. J. Mc
Swain, and should his opponent be
elected, his election will be due in
part to this lawless element.
Fourth-Because he ls a lawyer of
wide experience, of settled and sober
habits, and stands for and supports,
in private and in public, and in Court,
j thc principles of truth and rlghteous
I ness, taught in our churches and
i schools.
Fifth-Because he is a self-made
man, was reared and worked for
wages on the farm, paid for his own
education, and has succeeded at the
bar by his own unaided efforts,
j Sixth - Because he advocates
I prompt trials,to clear jail and docket,
thus saving expense, nnd a sentence
! of "hard labor," and not a money
I fine, which is in effect a legal license
I upon habitual and professional vio
j lators of the law.
We respectfully ask you to vote
for him, work for him, and you will
not be disappointed.-adv.
A Traveling Man's Kx|K*rience.
"I must tell you of my experience
j on an east bound O. R. & N. R. R.
train from Pendleton to Le Grande,
I Oregon," writes Sam A. Garber, a
. well known traveling man. "I was
In the smoking department with some
other traveling men when one of
i them went out into the coach and
I came back and said, 'There is a wo
man sick unto death In the car.' I at
once got up and went out, found her
very 111 with cramp colic, her hands
and arms .were drawn up so you
could not straighten them, and with
a death-like look on her face. Two
or three ladles were working with
her and giving her whiskey. I went
to my suit case and got my bottle of
Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Di
arrhoea Remedy (I never travel with
out it), ran to the water tank, puta
double dose of the medicine In tho
?lass, poured some water Into lt and
stirred it with a pencil; then I had
quite a time to get the ladies to let
me give lt to hrr, but I succeeded. I
could at once see the effect and I
worked with her, rubbing her hands,
and in twenty minutes I gave her
another dose. By this time we were
almost Into Le Grande, where I was
to leave the train. I gave the bottle
to the husband to be used In case
another dofe should be needed, but
by the time the train ran Into Le
Grande she was all right, and ? re
ceived the thanks of every passenger
In the car." For sale by J. W. Bell,
