And I went in and waked him up, and Will got up and <*ame in the stove room, and came in - mad, as usual. He got up in a bad temper every morning. He said something, some kind of a slur at his pa about his doing nothing, and he, Will, having to work so hard. Then Bess ? threw it.up at Will about his staying in the guardhouse Saturday night. Will jumped up and had a biscuit in his hand, and said, 'I am going to prove by Mr. Hogg I stayed with him;' and the next thing I heard was ?^ TX7C11 nrv wifli +V?o ilCIi II ill uy nxwa v?av biscuit in his hand he came on out here on the porch.

SENATE CANDIDATES I SPOKE HERE SATURDAY/ The Meeting Very Well Attended. Respectful Attention Given All the Speakers?About 300 Present. s The candidates for the United States senate spoke in Newberry on Saturday forenoon. The court room was about filled with some 300 voters who gave a respectful hearing to all the candidates. All of them were given some applause but there was no demonstration for any speaker. Mr. W. C. Irby spoke of the high r?rkc* r?f livinor anr} +Vip "nicr nrnfit.S VVk/W WX <#^ * W r made by many of the industries and the merchants and said that some legislation was needed. Mr. W. P. Pollock thanked the people of Newberry for the vote they gave him when he was a candidate . before and said he would .like to have the privilege of a full term in the senate to see what he could do. Mr. George Warren spoke next and said that the-tendency of the government was to federalize evervthinsr and he wanted to hark back to the olod constitutional principles, and the government founded by the fathers, believed in maintaining some of the rights of the state. While he was against tHe Volstead act he desired j it understood that he was no liquor i man or against prohibition but he j wanted the right of the state to ; handle its own affairs to remain un-i i x. l i moiesieu. Senator E. D. Smith was the last' of the speakers and he told of the j accomplishments of the Democratic ! party during the seven years of! Democratic rule and said that more j constructive legislation had been j passed during that time than in all j the years of the Republican rule. <r Things We Don't Understand? <3> <S> V V V V V V V V V V -v V -V -V -v V One of the thin?? we do not under- j stand is why a man, alone in his au-j tomobile can pass a fellow gt>ing the same way and pretend ^not to! see him. It would be more cour- j ageous, or, rather, less cowardly, to j speak and go on attending to your! own business. Williams-Pitts. Miss Helen F.

LIBERAL WAREHOUSE AID ' Lexington Man Hints That He Will 1 Run if No Other is Found to Lead Fight. The State, 18th. Asburv F. Lever, member of the | < federal farm loan board and forJ< many years representative in eon-ji gress from the Seventh district, hint- j. ed strongly last night that if a ; staunch lea<ier for the movement to j i establish cotton v/rehouses by lib- < oral state aid was not found, in the! next two years that he would feel j1 called upon to canvass South Caro- j lina in the gubernatorial race with this a^ his principal issue. Such a : . course would be a-great sacrifice to < himself, he said, but he added that.; he was determined to see to it that < the cotton farmer should be given the ] advantages of the warehouse act. Mr. i i Lever was in Columbia for a few, hours, cn route from Kershaw, where l.e spoke yesterday, to Lexington, to < spend Sunday at his home. \: Mr. Lever is speaking at a number of meetings in the state conducted ; by the South Carolina division of the;; American Cotton association, the extension service of Clemson college,; the United States department of ag- i riculturc for the construction of warehouses, the employment of cotton graders and for new members of!; the cotton association. i In these speeches Mr. Lever is ad-, vocating a system which will, he; thinks, remedy the situation in the! form of a warehousing arrangement1 whereby the state is to furnish atj least half the cost of the warehouse, and the community where it is built ' tfye other half. To raise these funds; he believes thgt the state should issue 20 year bonds. He says this will result in cotton being given credit value under Section 13 of the federal reserv^ act. "The problem of distribution of cotton so as to bring to the farmer its real intrinsic value is not alone the problem of the farmer," says Mr. Lever, "but likewise that of every man, woman and child in the state and of all classes, and, therefore, every one should be interested and* should help bear the burden of creatine such agencies of distribution as shall bring to the producer the real value of warehousing. Experts have said that storing capacity for 250,000 additional bales is necessary to give the -state a system which will care for 35 per cent, of the cotton produced. This would cost $500,000. This could not succeed by voluntary cooperation as the South has not learned this lesson, and can only do so if the state puts back of it its great resources, as it is a problem of the state." He advocates the state furnishing at least one-half of the necessary funds for the warehouse ^system to be raised' by the sale of 20 year bonds. The state, under the direction of the warehouse commission, would select the strategic points for the location of the warehouses, of which the public would be given n'otice. When ar\y community^ became able to provide one-half, the state should be able to furnish the other half, he says. "If the state through legislative ac tion should hold out . this inducement to the communities enough warhouses could be built in two or three years to meet the demand, and cotton will be ?iven credit value un der Section 13 o? the federal reserve act, which at present it does not and can not enjoy, and to make cotton good collateral," .says Mr. Lever. NITRATE OF SODA KILLS FOUR HOGS Newberry Farmer Has Unusual Experience?Animals Drank Water From Wash Tub. John Turner, a farmer living at Helena, has learned something about nitrate of soda that he thinks he ought to tell his fellow farmers. Two days the first of last week he was eneasred in cutting: the nitrate in his fields to make the crops grow. He was in his shirt sleeves while at work, wearing one shirt the first day and another shirt next day. Friday Mrs. Turner put the shirts in a tub containing about 15 gallons of water, left them to soak awhile, and then wrung them out. She turned the tub over to let the water run out. Some of it ran into a pen where there were four hogs?three of them shoats weighing about 150 pounds. They all drank of the water, and all were dead in 30 minutes. Mr. Turner says he would not have taken $75 for the SOW. J Tractor Demonstration. The tractor demonstration and as well the demonstration of other farm machinery will be held at the colored fair grounds in the eastern suburbs on Wednesday of next week and this ; will give opportunity to see tnese improved farm implements demon- i strated and you are invited to be i present. There will be no sales of machinery but this is to be a free demonstration of the machinery. ! .< SEVERE QUAKES .

Columbus, Ohio, July 16.?Members of the National Woman's party 3 <-/v nAITOVnAr were ussuieu luuu^ uy uu<^mui v_>Democratic candidate for president, that ne will do all in his power to bring about ratification of the federal suifrage amendment by Tennessee. His promise was given to a delegation from the woman's party, headed by Miss Alice Paul, chairman, late this afternoon, prior to his ' departure tonight for Washington, 1 where, with his running mate, Franklin D. Roosevelt, he will con- \ fer Sunday morning with President : Wilson. The suffrage leaders urged the ?- Jir? or* governor 10 use xiia nuiuciibc m ?***. effort to have the Tennessee legislature. ratify the amendment and some \ cf them intimated that unless he L came staunchly to their aid he might 1 expect little or no support from the - women voters in the November elec> tion. Mrs. Margaret Crahan Jones : cf Seattle, Wash., said "the women 5 are going to vote for the candidate who gives us the 36th state." Other 1 speakers voiced similar sentiments. 1 Not That Kind, Says Cox. To suggestions by women speak' ers that the governor might expect their votes in November if he should " be successful in efforts to obtain rati fication by Tennessee, Governor Cox " unreel them not to "preach the gos" pel that I should receive the votes of the women because I helped to give > them suffrage." He told them there - were things more vital "than rewarding a man for a service which he f has rendered in behalf of suffrage." 1 Governor Cox suggested to the wos man's party representatives that they 1 appoint a committee to confer with him on a definite plan to be followed 3 in handling the Tennessee situation. In giving his promise to help them 3 the governor said: i "I give to you without any reservation the assurance that my time, , my strength and my influence will be * i dedicated to your cause, with a view to procuring a favorable result in i Tennessee."
