CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN
AT WHITMIRL"
There were two meetings appoint
eel for Newberry county for :.u can
didates for congress and soliciioi.
one at Newberry and one at V. hit
mire. The meetings were hel: 1 t;:
same day, last Wednesday. The:\
are two candidates for con<nvss
Congressman Dominick anil ??ir. \V.
W. Bradley of Abbeville. There :.i\
three for solicitor, Sclieito" II. S
Blackwell, J. Howard 31 core cf A.bKovilio
F T. McCord of Green
wood. I did not get to hear :hc
speeches at Newberry except n por
^ tion of the speech of Mr. Bradley, j
; went over to Whitmire for tiie ev:n
ing meeting.
I went in the car of $Ir. J. V.'uitc:
I Richardson with Mr. G. T. Wert.driving,
and besides these there wlt,

for the legislature, and Mr

time for the meeting. It was iic
in the Y. 31. C. A. auditorium an<
? the attendance was very good, though
I Mr. W. M. Sherard, who preside:!.
I said that it was not generally knowf'
that the meeting1 was to be held unti.
k the afternoon and he had very little
I time to let it be known that i. was
that niorht. Good attention wa:
? given all the speaker.- and each v.-a'
& given a little applause though jus'
t as at otherjplaces there is not nuv.-l
f demonstration this year at any o'
the political meetings. The people
| . listen attentively and I "believe are
. . going to vote this time according t<
their own judgment. This shcuk
v . always govern, but unfortunately foi
many years most of the votes ever; oJ
Ry.tfto .fntcllige-ir. have Vcn ens'
& out of prejudice or partisanship

I or against some one else v.*hd wns ::
^ the running for some other office
? and there has been very litt'.e eno"1.
K . to fit the man to the office or the of
E fice to the man. The consideratioi

Dominick reviewed his record i?i con

his opponent had challenged and sai:
it was a very remarkable record he
thought when out- of some SOC or OCX
roll calls only five could be criticized

events had net made him regret c; -t
ing any of them. 21 r. Donvrid
made about the best speech we navi
ever heard him make and seemed tc
be decidedly the favorite with th:
audience. Mr. Bradley discussed t:iv

This is an interesting place and!
fdion to many Xev.*berry people and!
:-r.io of oar best and most substan-1
:;;1 citizens of the town of Xew- j
erry are native of this section and ?
a me from here to Xewberry. The j
' "..if !

ve> was the original home of the I
ummer brothers. Charles E.. George I
V.. and J. H. Summer, and they j
a me from this farm to Xewberry;
:here ihey have made their 'for-i
1
unes ar.fi are now am one: our sue- j
ersful and substantial citizens. Xot!
>nlv so, in sicrht of the same place i
the home from which .came Mr. J
rus T. Summer and Mr. Fink Sum- j
.er also amonsr the substantial and;
uccescful business men of New- j
erry. And the late Boyd Eptincr
ame from right in this neighbor-j
ood also. I had never been in this i
- il
oction before and it was a privi-ji
ego and a pleasure to have the op-j|
>ortunity to visit here. ??Ir. Iluff-il
mn has improved the old home and ;
i
lade it modern in many respects and J
e is a fine and successful farmer'
nd has a fine crop this year. Not!
*?.r away is the home of the Eptingsj
nd others who are substantial farmn.
After a line barbecue dinner with
ill the accessories which Mr. IIufT-;
ian had, the bavbeueins: having been
'i>ne bv himself from among- his own 1 j
cikers of wh'ch ho has a lot of as!
ne ones as you could find on anyj
arm, we drove around the' common-!
:y and on down to Peal: -so thatf/ I J
.light see some cf the country ami j
fiCfet. the people in their homes. Un-!
. rtu&ntely for our trip there was aj
armors meeting at Chapin that aft- j
'neon and many of the farmers had J
one out there and we did not get'
j :.ec them but T had opportunity!
o see some of the country. The m
ofids had been worked by Mr. Tom fj
, league with the gang and J must say j !
hat as a whole they are the best!
cads that I have seen in Xewberrv:
i
ounty. They arc too narrow hut!
!,.ey are smoothe and the driving was;
i ?h*asant. Some o'f the bridges need ?
c\v er.es and ail the reads need to ;

tvai.crhtcned just a little.
~?~ I

rated found that many of the farm vs
were absent at the meeting in 1
'hi-pin. At Peak I met Mr. J. C. j
nvvi*ert who said he was a frequent j
- i
Icilor to my father's mill just alter i
he war when it was at the old hills, i
i.nd that he went there as a govern- j
lent representative to check up the j
vhf-at and the flour and the corn and j

operated as a government mill as I \

well but at the time I was there
1 '* ? ~i.
rain was needed in many piticc^ auu
the corn especially was showing1 the
want of water. 1 did not hear of the
appearance of the boli weevil or any
other pest that was likely to destroy
the crop.

GIRL SEEN AS CREATURE
FULL OF WHIMS IN NEW
CORINNE GRIFFITH FILM
A trirl is a creature full of whims,
according to Vitagraph's latest production.
* "Human Collateral," in
which Corinne Griffith is the star.
This production is scheduled as the
feature attraction to be shown at the
opera house Wednesday.
Miss Griffith appears in the role of
Patricia Langdon, daughter of a
wealthy Wall street operator. Her
parent, Stephen Langdon, suddenly
becomes enmeshed in financial disaster
and is compelled to negotiate
an enormous loan from Roderick
Duncan, the young banker who is engaged
to be married to Patricia.
Patricia, who up to that time has
- ' ' " ^ 1 ? +V.O

the mistaken idea-that she is virtually
being transferred by her father to
her fiance in lieu of collateral for the
