It is * simple device, but will do ^ood work if properly used. Now is t-?e time to put it in use. i The State published Hon. John Gary Evans reply to Senator Tillman's let. ter, but if it has published the senator's letter we failed to see it. Senator Tillman must have written that letter without consulting the State. \ It is a great loss to Newberry to nave SUCH a live ailU wiuc-arvaat; uuo>ness firm as Caldwell and Haltiwang^r leave the city and while we regret to see them leaye we can not but feel that it is a wise move for them. Columbia is a live and growing town and a fine opportunity for young m?n with energy and business ability, and we feel satisfied that these young business men will make good in the capital city. Then, too, they will keep a large part of their Newberry trade. If there were in 1910 more than 160,~ ~" 1- -!" uvu ma.it; uuacus m ouum ^aiuuuu over twenty-one years, why should a vote in 1912 of 140,000 be considered , an evidence of fraud? Will some of the probers answer that question. Of course if there is any evidence of fraud the people who committee the fraud the people who committed the understand the statement of Mr. Stevenson the committee has no evidence of fraud, but is simply going around trying to find if there was any fraud. If the plan outlined is carried out the committee will not be in position for many months to begin to work and to take evidence. It will take a long time to get all the club rolls and the poll lists. In fact the'general election will Vfc * /XfTAV Ut3 u ? Ci . aSir* We notice that'the mayor of Columbia ha? issued orders that the ordinance as to automobiles and other vehicles stopping at certain crossings is going to b? enforced strictly. We have an ordinance in Newberry requiring automobiles and autp-cycles to stop at the crossing at the corner of Gilder & Weeks drug store, but it #is more observed in the breach than in the observance. Wonder if we could not induce our city authorities to enforce it There is also an ordinance against hitching to shade trees in the city. Some of the prettiest trees in Newberry are almost ruined by hitching to them. But what's the use. There are more violations than observance of the city laws. Why not abolish the book of laws and try another book. The admission of Chairman Steveneon of the sub-committee on election Investigations, that the committee has ntohing tangible to work on, suggests the inquiry as to what it is all about anyway. There is absolutely no pro vision in the law of the Democratic party that warrants the holding up of an election except on specific charges. And here after a lapse of three full weeks there has developed nothing specific against the conduct of the election.?Yorkville Enquirer. It seems to us that the admission of .* ? i _ f I lynainiiaii oicvcusuu is suuittcui, iv^ < him to call the subcommittee togeth-j er at once and declare the result, because^. as he states, they have absolutely no evidence of fraud, and, therefore, as we see it, no ground upon which to hold up the election. DECLARE THE RESULT. We want to say that we have absoi ? ^ V? /IT 1 o f Arv 1UIC1J UU HI jJdvUj ITILU uiiulu? J tactics being pursued by the State executive committee through its subcommittee in reference to the declaration of the results of the primary of August 27. Members of the committee have disavowed all partisanship in the matter and certain newspapers, holding up the alleged non-partisanship of a majority of the sub-committee, have sought to imply partisanship on the part of the minority of the committee.! \ So far as this matter of partisanship is concerned, we do not care to make any charges one way or the other, but we do not hesitate to say that we have as much confidence in the disinterested fairness of the minority of the committee as we have in the majority of the committee, and we believe there are thousands of people on both sides of the question who will agree with us. We have never yet been able to comprehend the justifiability of the grounds upon which the declaration of the result of the election was held up, and nobody has even tried to explain why the second race between Messrs. f yon and Peeples was postponed, though all kinds of people are giving both circumstances all kinds of inter pretations. If it is fraud and irregularity orly that the State executive committee is : after, it seems to us that the best way < to have gone about the matter would | hav been to have declcred the election < on the face of the returns with the 1111 derstanding that there was to be a j thorough investigation, and if it appeared that there had been fraud and ] irregularity in behalf of one candidate ( and none in behalf of the other, the whole thing was to b* repudiated. 1 Such a thing as a fair and impartial investigation, as we see it, is impossi- ? ble under any other conditions. Claims of non-partisanship on the ] part of this committee is so absurd as to be lauglfible. Four Jones men and f V* DIaoca mol/a it o Trvn oo I L111 uc JLli^aog uiaa^ AV a u vuvo committee just as four Blease men < and three Jones men would have made s it a "Blease committee and the care of , Chairman Evans, a bitter personal and ; political enemy of Governor Blease, in seeing to it that the Jones men were ] in the majority, is all the evidence one ; would want as to his bias in the mat- ] ter.?Yorkville Enquirer. This is one of the most sensible articles we have seen on this question. It, is fair and non-partisan and states 1 the facts clearly and dispassionately. As The HeraTd and News has hereto- ( fore remarked, if the subcommittee " I carries out the plan it has laid down, j | before declaring, the result of the pri- . mary of August 27, the result of that i < primary will not be declared until af- j i ter the general election. What the,1 committee should have done is just : what fche Enquirer says, declare the . result and then investigate, and if < fraud was found, punish those respon- ! sible for the fraud.

Located in the extreme north end Df the Art Hall, the Atlantic Coast Line^Railroad company have come all the way from the southeast to show 3ur Michigan home-seekers the advantages of Southern soil. This exhibit i^ truly interesting to the prospective farmer. Not seeking to sell you land, the Atlantic Coast L^ie representatives are showing the possibilities of this territory through which they operate. Land in this section is sold at a very conservative cost. In nearly all cases, two or more crops ire raised annually. The soil is excelled in no part of the United States. Sugar cane plays a conspicuous part, yielding 30 to 60 tons per acre, at an iverage price of $3.50 to $5 per ton. Alfalfa, oats, watermelons, pineapples, peacnes, oaney, wneai ana an liu??3al fruits are shown in profusion. Especially interesting is the showing of :orn. Standing about 18 feet in leight, this is not by any means the east exaggerated. It is there for you :o see. Many interesting pamphlets are to 3e had for the asking, which explains n detail just what the respective ;rops yield per acre and the number j )f crops to be raised annually. The! vriter was much impressed with the | showing made, and wishes to speak! or the?n in calling the attention of he fair visitor to make a visit to this ixhibit wnose attendants are xuore han willing to go into details relaive to the territory that they repre;ent.

The small daughter of a practicing physician, who evidently has an eye ;o business, told her mother, in no mcertain terms, that she must call at mce on their new neighbor. "And why must I call on her?" ask?d the mother, amused at the child's jositiveness. "Well, in the first place," explained :he little lady, "they've got three of :he scranniest kids, and the mother lerself don't look very strong."
