HI.I NEWBERRY TO HAVE EFFICIENT COTTON GRADER Money Secured in Brief Time at Meeting Here Last Thursday. Great Help and Saving. At the meeting of the South Carolina division nf tho Artiprirnn Clot ton association, held in the court house, July 29, the large number of farmers and business men present decided to guarantee the salary of a cotton grader for Newberry. It was ? a. _j. _n A~ ~ -r??a ~-P I1U UOULUi ill Uii iu laisc a xuitu ua $3,600, after the advantages cf such action-had been fully explained. B. C. Matthews, president of the National bank of Newberry, started the good work by volunteering to be one of 40 men to guarantee $100 each toward the salary of a grader.. Within a few minutes, 32 men had' met the condition, and eight more had promised to stand good for $50 each. The raising of this fund assures an ef" 1- -- ^ i-P nciai graaer lor uus jest & nuy u Clemson college can find a man for the job. If a fee of a few cents per bale is charged for grading, probably it will not be necessary for the guarantors to put up any money. Thursday's meeting was presided over by Joseph L. Keitt, president of ceunty branch of the American Cotton association. The speakers were D. W. Watkins, assistant director of extension work of Clemson college; E. C. Seifert, supervisor of cotton traders of South Carolina; R. G. j Honeycutt, representing the state j cotton warehouse commission, and B. j Harris, state commissioner of agri- j culture, commerce and industries. T.; M. Mills, county agent, was present,! helping in various ways to start the movement to bring a cotton grader to Newberry. I ?r PICNIC AND LUNCHEON MT. BETHEL-GARMANY SUCCESS | The picnic and luncheon by the La dies Improvement association at Mt. Cethel-Garmany last Friday was a success. A good sum was realized and the ladies sold a good dinner at 50 cents. The only trouble wras that rhey had more dinners than they sold. Sorry we could not be there but two barbecues were about as much as we could endure in one day.

Democratic Nominee Stands for Two Hours in Exposed Spot to Review Parade. T)nvtr?rt. Ohio. Julv 30. Belief vv**7 "7 " ~~-%r that he would be elected president was expressed by Governor Cox today in an address at the ''home coming celebration" here over his nomination by the Democratic party. After he had stood hours under a burning sun, reviewing a parade of fraternal, industrial and other organ ' J 4-/\ /I AM izations variously esuniciLeu iu *.untain 8,000 and 12,000 marchers, crowds stormed the reviewing, stand and insisted upon a brief address from the guest of honor. Thanking his audience for the testimonial from the men, women and children with whom he had lived for 20 years, Governor Cox said: "I just said to a gentleman from Washington that it would appear to be poor judgment to desire to leave - > 1 Dayton and live in any omer piace. Yet somehow, I have a feeling that I am going to reside in the house which you yourselves own. As the future tenant of those. premises 1 promise to take good care of it." To another crowd of admirers who almost crushed the governor and Mrs. Cox as they left the reviewing stand and forced them to take shelter in the county jail building, Governor Cox said jocularly: "I invite you all to come to see me in Washington.*' The governor's brief addresses were not scheduled among the day's events. The governor left his Trail's End library to view the parade in the midst of completion of his address for August 7 accepting the Democratic nomination. The address, he said, would go to the printer tomorrow. The parade today was . the crowning event of the non-political, demonstration by the governor's home folk. It was "Jimmy Cox'' day in Dayton for the thousands who packed the parade route released by the half holiday declared generally to hail their citizen first honored with a presiden tial nomination. "Hello, Jimrnie," was the salutation shouted at the governor by hundreds of the parariers. "Three cheers for Jimmy/'.and "Hi, Jimmy, LUI see you in the White House,"' were other greetings. The governor, waving a soggy handkerchief and applauding each crowd and group, responded in kind. "Hello Buck" and "Hello there, Ike," and "How are you, Charley," were among the greetings the governor shouted back to the marchers as he pointed out many old time friends. "I have seen men* who have followed my standard for 12 years, who gave me confidence in 1908," said the governor in his brief address. "I am prouder to have held it thsji to have inspired it at the outset. It shall be my aim at all times to justify the confidence you have evidenced." "Jimmy Cox," also was the keynote of many banners on parade floats and marchers' banners. DAYLIGHT BAKERY FOR NEWBERRY A representative of a daylight system of bakeries was in the city this week consumating this deal and making final arrangements for the immediate opening of this, store.

TO SUPPORT COX TELLC NOMINEE HE WILL WORK FOR HIM. Massachusetts Man Declares He Had No Discussion of Ohio Gov ernor's Ir'oiicies. ....Dayton, Ohio, July 29.?Governor Cox, Democratic presidential stand ard bearer, today was pledged the vigorous and unqualified support oi Senator David L. Walsh of jlassa. Vmepfts. n leader amonc: senate Dem ocrats who differed widely from the administration on the league of nacions and who fought for reservations. Senator Walsh arrived here unexpectedly today and was Governor ' oxr? greet at dinner before leaving for the East. ''1 shall aid in every way possible to secure Governor Cox's election,'' said Mr. Walsh. "I voted for him from the first at San Francisco and shall continue my most loyal aid.'' Senator Walsh said had not learn ? ? 1: ed Governor Uox s position regarumg reservations and other details in the league controversy adding that he had not come here to discuss or advise with the candidate cn that or any subject. He called solely tc talk, over campaign affairs, he said, with D. J. Mahoney, Governor Cox's ?.on-in-law, and while here the governor insisted upon tonight's visit to Trail's End. Even should he and the governor differ on the league, Senator Walsh said, he still would support the governor enthusiastically. "He was the most progressive and 'iApml candidate in the field at San Francisco,"' Mn Walsh added. "The senator was the sole visitor oday at Trail's End.'. He arrived just when Governor Gox was finishing" the first rough draft of his acceptance address an4 preparing to be the guest of honor here tomorrow at the "home coming'- and non-partisan celebration. r Governor Cox dug in all day on hir 'pcech of acceptance for August 7 He aims to keep it within eight newspaper columns or 9,600, words and mic'ht be able to reduce It somewhat. - ?- ?--U ?-4. Hope that the league woum nut he campaign's paramount issue ws? exressed by Senator W?lsh, who led Ihe successful effort in the platform :it San Francisco for the words in 'he league plank stating that the ">arty dees not oppose reservation .linking America's obligations clear 2nd more specific. "I>hop? we can pay more attention i Lo American questions," said the I senator to friends here, asserting that opposition to profiteering snouic ce stressed. The senator declared! to visitors that he still favored league covenant reservations and would never vote for the league without reservation to Article 10. The, Republicans, he oi'edicted, wculd seek to make reservation of Article 10' their principal fight and he said Governor Cox should "be very careful" what position he took. Senator Walsh predicted Irish questions would not be campaign isi ^ues. "I don't think they will figure it all," he said. ''People of Irish blcod will vote just as t^ey always have?Republican or Democrat?as Americans. regardless of their views on Irish independence." Important Red Cross Meeting.
