Mr. Reid is doing fairly well. From the account in the Greenwood Journal it seems that Mr. Reid and Messrs. E. M. Martin, W. R. Keith, Leo Hamilton and Fred Summers of Chappells were enroute to Anderson in Mr. Martin's Ford to attend the night performance of Robinson's circus, when the car turned turtfe. Besides the injury to Mr. Reid, Mr. Martin sustained a broken rib while \Mesrs. Keith and Hamilton got oft with slight bruises. Mr. Summers jumped and escaped injury. The accident was due to the fact that Mr. Martin, who v^as driving, attempted to cut off the throttle at the railroad crossing When^ his heavy glove caught on the throttle and gave more gasoline. The brakes were applied and the machine turned com-1 pieteiy over, pinning me ioui men underneath. Seabrook-Whitman.'' iMr. and Mrs. ^William L.

Yes, the sunshine of the past few days has been . ' ! : glorious, real autumnal days. These j beautiful days remind the Campaign' Manager when he used to roam around i ond listen to the blue birds whistle "Annie Laurie" and then lie, too, bet gan thinking some queer thinks, that is they were queer to him.

Of course that should not be held against the farm. Just somehow, these balmy i days make him feel a longing to get i out and patter around with a spade or a plow, or go "a-fisbing." ( Do you know something about that; feeling? Perhaps it is just a sort of; call of .the wild, rather to the wild, but i he sits and plods along, trying to ex-; i j plain to the numerous readers of The j Herald and News wfcat a great oppor} tunity is being presented to them and j that's how he happened to think of that | farm thing today.

The seed time in this Campaign is here. i Lying about every candidate and | prospective candidate In this capaign 1 ! are great fertile fields, waiting the j j proper cultivation to produce bountiful1 crops of votes. It all depends on the ! i candidates. Some believe they can ! ; sort of scratch over the surface, plant { at fandom and expect a good crop, but ! the succeshful ''vote farmers" in this j campaign are going to be the ladies | who see that the soil is properly pre- j ; pared before the seed is sown. What. f j the campaign manager is trying I to get -at is. that the candidates wfto .make a systematic campaign will reap I the greatest harvest of votes. ! This is just the beginning of this : [campaign; it is therefore, likewise.,1 also seed tiihe for thos-^ who havb entered, or those who have been think-1 ing of entering and who will take ad-. vant.iee nf the largest Extra Vote offer , that will tie made during the remain- i f ( der of the Campaign. fUp to this time no score is so high that an hour or two , each day will not overtake any leader! ! in the campaign, or at leaht pi nee any 1 late entrance on su) equal footing with the leaders. iA Busy Day.
