the advantage of a windward berth J
which Shamrock IV had taken at the
< start, the fleet defender held a lead
of four minutes and eight seconds at
the halfway stake of the 30-mile

her handicap of six minutes

In capturing.ihe series and retaining

Resolute had taken two races

her time allowance of seven minutes

with the challenger. Her other two
victories were won bbat for boat.'
; "Best Boat Won."
. Sir Thomas Lipton, owner of the
green challenger, voiced what appeared
to be the unanimous verdict
of yachtmfen who had seen the"five
races when he declared tonight that
/'the best boat won."
When Resolute flashed across the
golden finish line that the setting sun
J riDDlinsr _wa

ter, Shamrock was a mile or more behind,
her own great sails bellying
"broadly, when the signal ball of "the
committee boat dropped and the
screeching whistles and sirens from
the little fleet of spectators' craft
proclaimed Resolute's victory.
The beaten Shamrock swept quickly
down the course, striving to shorten
the intervening ^ip and salve as
much as she could the bitterness of
her defeat.
But as if to emphasize the great
difference in time between the two
finishes, the flaming sun dropped like
a plummet into the deepening: haze
and a pale moon, which had been but
dimly traced against the sky when
Resolute finished, stood out with increasing
radiance when Shamrock
finally got over the line.
Resolute by this time had described
a great circle and had come back
to the mark to see her rival finish.
As the challenger crossed the mark
' -i. n ? _ _i
ner crew lei; out inree ringing.cneers
and the victor and conquerors responded
with lusty cheers for Shamrock
and her crew.
Sir Thomas Lipton, who built the
challenger in his itfurth . effort'to lift
the bottomless old pewter mug that
is the America's cup and take it back
to its original home in England,
turned away from his hUmble sailing
beauty and sent his steam yacht Victoria
full speed ahead to overtake and
congratulate the Resolute's crew. He
returned just in time to gee shamrock
cross the line.
The aged sportsman's gameness as
he drew away from his own sloop to
congratulate the winner elicited a
salvo of cheers from those on board
the spectator craft, and Sir Thomas
responded as jauntily as if he had
not seen his own fondest hope once
73iore baffled.

THE NEWS OF WHITMIRE.
Two Pleasant Social Functions?
Good Music for the Church.
Birthday Celebration.
Whitmire, July 27.?One of the
most enjoyable social functions of
the week was the party given by Miss
Mary Metts to her% many trienas. j
Games, of different kinds and dancing i
were indulged in and enjoyed as only
boys and girls of' this age are capable.
The refreshments consisted of
delicious^ cake and ice cream. The
young people went home with enough
happy thoughts and day dreams to ,
last them a week. Whynot do more
to make life' pleasant for the young
folks?
Another pleasant occasion of the
week was the musical gotten up by
^
Miss Mary Lou Douglass in honor 01
Miss Annie Barnett of Paeolet. Each
of the fortunate young men escorted
his partner to the movies. After enjoying
a good picture they all assent'
bled at the home of Mrs. Elizabeth t
Douglass. Here Mr. Albright presid-j
ed at the piano and charmed a'll jyith
his music. The latest songs were
sung and some enjoyed tripping the
light fantastic toe. The young people
enjoyed .meeting Miss Barnett

The choir practice was held this
week at the home of Mr. E, E. Child.
Here the members prepared a beautiful
selection, which they rendered in
the Methodist church at the Sunday
morning service. Good music adds
much to the church service#and many
appreciate it quite as much as a good
sermon. Perhaps the congregation
would be larger if the music was
really inspiring.

GOVERNOR COX WRITES LETTER
TO JOE SPARKS.
Candidate for Presidency Says This
is Proper Idea and Will
Win.
The, St&te, 27th.
The "Dollar Democracy" campaign
In South Carolina has received the
rvf .TflniPS \T flftY of
Ohio, Democratic candidate for the j
presidency.
The Ohio governor, who was nomi- j
nated at the San Francisco conven- !
tion, has indorsed the movement in j
South Carolina in a letter to\ Joel
Sparks, financial director of the cam-!
paign to raise a great popular fund, j
Governor Cox in his letter congrat- i
ulates South Carolina Democracy up- j
on their start.
The Ietter^of Governor uox to ivir.<
Sparks follows:
"This is acknowledgment of your !
letter of July 19. I am glad to know j
that the Democrats of South Carolina i
have thus early started with the mil- !
itant spirit, which will tvin.
"Let me congratulate you upon |
your slogan of 'Dollar Democracy.' j
We want the public to know where i
every dollar of campaign fund comes j
from and where it goes, and later :
challenge comparison wfah the enemy j
with a result not to his advantage, j
"The use of a campaign fund j
which comes from sources unknown i
and in amounts so vast as to be un- j
believable, such as employed by our j
adversary, is not good for American j
institutions."
The campaign in South Carolina ;
to raise funds for the support of the !
national campaign is shaping up i
rapidly. Money is being received j
f/oni many sections of the state, j
The county Democratic chairmen j
Jiave begun to appoint solicitors and
it will not be many days before several
hundred dollars will be received
each day. It is the plan to secure
as much as $1 from each Democrat
in South Carolina.
"The dollar campaign/' said Mr.
Sparks, "meets with the Approval of
the national Democratic leader and
there should be no hesitancy m giving
\>n the part of the South Carolina
Democracy."

Cox made considerable progress to-! i
day on his address for August 7 ac- I s
cepting the Democratic presidential! j
nomination. The governor found, i j
however, that he was Enable to carry I <
out his plan for "looking ' himself in J j
his library to work on the speech, j:
but between several visitors the can-.
didate DUt in some good licks in L
drafting- his address. v
The address, the governor said,
will be "just long enough to tell tha
story," but because of its embryonic :
stage he could make no definite pre- J
dictions as to length.* He is to send j
it in installments, as subjects are i
completed, to his newspaper office
here for composition and^ then he S
promised "to use the blue pencil vigorously"
on proofs to eliminate every

on his address the governor today
conferred with Judge J. G. Johnson,
of the Ohio supreme court, who made
the Cox nominating speech at the San
Francisco convention. It was their
first meeting since the convention,
and Governor Cox thanked the judge!
for the successful outcome of his ef-'
forts.
Refek- to Him as "Jimmy."
''The Western people seem to realize
that Governor Cox is one of them,
in their ideals and aspirations,"' said
Judge Johnson, who toured the West
en route to his home at Springfield.
"They'believe Governor Cox is for

'Jimmy' like Theodore Roosevelt was
called Teddy.' It indicates a feeling
of personal interest and regard; -as I
believe Cox 16 the first presidential
candidate since 'Teddy' whose first"
name is being popularly and generally
used."
Another caller of the governor's
was Oscar E. Bradfute of Xenla, 0., 1
of the Ohio farm bureau and a director

SOME STATES MAY |]
LOSE IN CONGRESS i
/
I
RESULTS OF CENSUS MAY CUT i
REPRESENTATIVES.
, i
Unless Membership or nouse is increased
Ten States May Lose One
or More Representatives.
Washington, July 28.?Unless the
membership of the house- is increased
from 435 to at least 500 to meet
the increased population shown by
the 1920 census, 10 states Will lose
3ne or more representatives, according:
to Representative Siegel of New
York, chairman of the census com-'
whirVi will frame the new ap- j
portionment bill. Those states are: j
Indiana, Iowa, and Missouri, which I
will lose two congressmen each; and j
Illinois, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland,
Nebraska, Vermont and Virginia,
which will lose one congressman
each.
Mr. Siegel explains that if the
house membership is retained at its
present figure it will be necessary 1*)
increase the population basis in each
nryrn?.smnjil district beyond the'
211,000 or major portion thereof
now fixed. If this is done, he says,
the 10 states named will lose one or
mtore of the present districts because
their populations have not increased
in proportion to those of oth-,
er states.
On the basis of the estimated population
of 106,000,000 for the whole ;
country in 1920, an increase of ap- j
proximately 14.000,000 in 10 years, j
Mr. Siesel says 65 or 66 new seats in j
the house must be created if the 1U j
states are to retain their present nu-}
merical representation. While pre- J
cdent warrants the increase, Mr. Sie- j
gel declares there is strong oppjosi- j
tion to it on the part of some of the;
present representatives, while others j
favor reduction to as few as 300 j
members.
Mr. $iegel expects the work of
framing the new apportionment bill
in accord with the new population to
begin with the reconvening of congress
in December and. he anticipates
that the measure will be passed early
in 1921.
- ??/% 'it (
Every decade since Jtv.yu, witn me,
single exception of 1840, the house!
membership hss been enlarged to!
keep pace with the growing popula-j
tion. Now the house floor is crowd-;
ed when all. members are present;:
seats nearly fill the chamber; the old
individual 'depks have been discarded
and an increase in membership probably
will have- to be solved by narrowing
the width of the seats.
Ten years ago the house membership
was increased from 391 to 435
on the basis, of a population of 91,972,266
and; the only exception fo
such a procedure occurred .in 1S4U "
when 10 congressmen were knocked
out by the apportionment, the membership
being-fixed at 232 after having
been 242 for 10 years.
The last apportionment kept intact
the numerical strength of all state
delegations besides providing for
certain increases, but even then several
congres.Vnal districts fell short
of the maximum basis vof 211,100
population.
T"?J DDAAn PTVFR BRIDGE.
1 nn 1 UIWrn/ ni V
Mr. Suber Seems to Think the Editor j
Does Not Ksow Much About |
Bridge Building.
Editor The Herald and News:
I note that you say the bridge
across Broad river should be built
where it would serve the greater
number of people. This is right and
exactly what we want.- But then you
go on and say it should not be the
purpose to build the bridge where it
can be built for the least money and
where the approaches to the river
are the best. Allow me to say that
in this you are lacking in the practical
part. If the banks are not considered
for the approaches and they
put on low land when the river is up
no one can get. to the approaches ana
the water would soon wash them (the
approaches) away and a bridge without
approaches would be no more
good to the people than a superintendent
of education would be without
schools or teachers. I am sure
you would make a good superintendent
of education, perhaps one of the
best, but t am equally sure now that
you would make a mighty poor bridge
builder. You made me say in my
letter that the people of Fairfield
could cross the river at Shelton and
reach the Columbia road within a
mile. I said they could cross at
Strother and reach it within a mile, j
No not Shelton. For no one can
hardly get to Shelton nor away from
there at any distance and some are
talking of putting the bridge at
Blairs. Impracticable, for there is
half mile ?f sand bar there 40 feet
deep and a long pond between the
hill and river that was once said to
have no bottom. Anyway we want
ki-Mtro in nr near the centre of
OliC UX iu^v *? ?- ?
the two counties. It can not be built |
below Strother on account of the
back water from Parr Shoals dam.
Therefore Strother is nearest center
point and Strother is the id^al place.
It has ail the advantages.

.1 nlv 28.?An all day

stretch dictating to his secretary his
address for August 7 accepting the
Democratic presidential npmination
was the exclusive formidable affair
today before Governor Cox. It was
the first day since his nomination
that his engagement list was blank.
Installments of the address were
to begin going to the governor's
*- -1 -I- ? J ?" "T'fVl 0?l<OTM?fl1Y10r>ft

for strict secrecy. The governor has
stated that he desires to have his
address "live copy" in its news features
as delivered August 7, without
being discounted by advance statements.
While some of his main subjects,
like the league of nations, industrial
affairs, campaign contributions and
others are patent, the governor is
keeping close counsel regarding their
details. Also he has yet given no
intimation \xfrether he would discuss
prohibition Questions in the address.
With the party platform silent on
prohibition, friends of the governor .
who have been associated with him v
for years express the belief that he
will not mention it in the speech of
acceptance, but that, with what they
say is characteristic fearlessness, he
will have no hesitation in discussing
the subject in his campaign speeches.
Z^ecause of his newspaper training,
the governor was reported today to ,
be making fast work of his address.
But he is exercisiijg great care, as
indicated by composition of a few of
the main subjects in pencil. Length
of the address was today said to be
still problematical.

specially, prepared and hitherto unpublished
memorandum on the "Dangers
of Bolshevism," ;written last
month and received here today in ot fipinl
cirplps
"Polands'fall will entail the iall
of Germany and Czecho-Slovalria,"
Gen. Ludendorff- says. "Their neighbors
to the north and south willlollow.
"Fate steps along steadily. Let
no one believe it will come to stand.1:11

and England in its coils. Not even
the seven seas can stop it." v *
Addressing himself to the *civilized
nations as a man who knows
war," Gen. Ludendorff pleads that
his message not fall on deaf ears.
"Then it will be too late/' he declares,
and the present civilization
will crumble as did that of Greece
and Rome. And the cause will be
the o-btuseness of government and
the lethargy of vthe burgeoise, as the
latter always and everywhere liked to
stay quietly at home en days of decisive
events.
"Bolshevism is a monster that
must advance to exist It is advancing
now and in a gradual progress
from East to West and is crushing
everything between the Mediterranean
sea and the Atlantic ocean. *";
j "The world at large must,, therej
fore, figure with a Bolshevist. ad- ,
j vance in Poland towards Prague. The
Itime will come when the Bolshevists
'will menace Germany and Czechoi
Slovakia directly.
t "I described the impending menace
i of Bolshevism in my interview with
j the press early in February. My
warnings were a cry in the wilder1
ness. These- menaces are now a realj
ity. Lenine has advanced his lines to
the frontiers of China, Afghanistan*
