Big Up-Country Counties Nave What'! They Want and IYould -Leave Others Alone. Cr Columbia, August 15.--The Pied IMont section is overwhelmingly pro-: hibition in sentiment. There is no question about that. This does noti mean, however, an overwhelming State-wide prohibition sentiment. I have just been in Anderson, Green ville and Spartanburg counties-the largest ard mfiost popilons in the; Piedmont section. and talked with representative men. They all tell me that they are satisfied with local con ditions. and that their people do not want to be disturbed. Some favor State-wide prohibition, others fear 1 'that forcing State-wide urohibition - will j'Opan:hze 7heir present conditioa bye-s- -Z S*,i.-up and gener'al m: up in poltes and others say that they have what they want and believe in letting others alone. The Piedmont section unfortunately is in closer e touc...h 1ih Aanta and Augusta thtn i: is with parts of South Carolina, and c they laugh at the utter and ridiculous c entorcement of S:ate-wide prohibition in i:rh iti-.s Sav.!anniah. llirmnig-,, hm A A nd Autus and prefc-, letting matters stand as they are c rather than spread the infection of c disregard for prohibition laws to this a State. They want to be left alone, t and to do so are willing to let the oth-;I er fellow alone. t Majority for Local Option. Anderson is a prohibiton county,! and one would suppose candidates for the legislature would all adopt the State-wide prohibition plank. Not so.: There are nine candidates for the five places in the house of representatives, t and of the nine candidates, two have come out for State-wide prohibition, five are outspoken for local option and two had not up to that time clearly; stated their position. I was further told that the State-wide advocates had used efforts to get out other can didates, but had failed. "Citizen" Joshua Ashley is one of the two State wide prohibition candidates in Ander-C son, and he is personally strong and the expectation is that he will be elected, but the situation is impressed when it is understood that in Ander son, a prohibition county, that only two of nine legislative candidates are outspoken for State-wide prohibition.) Mr. McLeod will receive a large vote .in the Piedmont section, because of,J his local option views, and so will Mr. Blease, because he has had a con siderable following there for some time. "Prosperity" Excursions. South Ca,rolina is prosperous. There are many tokens of this prosperity. It Automobiles, new homes, new cotton; mills, new industries. A new expres sion of this prosperity is to be found in the desire to travel. Some time ago a young man named Macfarlan, who gets up excursions in the East, thought he would try a Southern ex cursion to Niagara Falls. He ex pected to have 150 passengers, and thereby enter this field. The excur'sion left Spartanburg Friday not with' 150, but with 550, and hundreds disap pointed because they could not be ac commodated. It was a surprise to the railroad people. Long distance telephone messages and telegramst were received begging, in vain, for places on the Niagra excursion, and some folks went to Spartanburg hop ing to get places in the party, but they could find no delinquents. The trip was very cheap, $43.75 for rail road fare, hotels, excursions, sleep ers and all, but even at $50 per pas senger it meant over $25,000 on this: one excursion, and there have been many. Up-Country Crops Good. The up-country generally has ex cellent crops. During the week I took two long distance automobile rides in: Anderson county-one of 30 miles andi another 50 miles automobile trip in Spartanburg and Cherokee counties Business men in Anderson tell me that the crop conditions in that sec tion have never been better. This is all a hilly cou nry, and while lower Carolina and the fiat country general ly suffered from excessive rains, the biy up-country did not let the ra'n stand, but it helped the corn an d coi ton crops. - Spartanburg Greenville and Anider son are all growing very rapidly, "iot it is a great pleasure to see how -ap i-ily this entire Piedmont secLi yn is forging ahead. I VNeranis' Reunion. 1 Spartanburg is putting on its gaa attire for the Conafederate reunion.

There was 0 chance nor time to discuss issues his I wanted to do with Mr. Aiker nd then take him up on his record ;hile in congress, and then ask hiit a explain some of his votes whilE here. For I know some of the peo le will agree with me that they need xplaining.
