Mr. C. W. Wolfe, editorof the King

had been in ill health for several

was a Miss Hodge of this county.
If the country editor were to snap at
all the inducements held out he would
soon become a millinaire. If he ran a
paper according to the popular notion
he would be in the poor house. If be
published all the items that were sent
to him he would be in jail half the time
and in the hospital the other half.
It is astonishing how many business
men can be talked into taking space in
a chart, or frame, or register, or some
other thing that has no excuse for ex
istence. A schemer will get more for
his worthless card than a country pub
lisher would. It is people who have
been thus duped who complain that
advertising does not pay.
Mr. C. A. McFaddin, who for several

having thirteen counties under super

appointed for this county. Mr. McFad
din has worked hard and accomplished
much. therefore the government. ap
preciating his efforts, gave him this
deserved promotion.
The Manning flour mill is now read
for operation, and on Mondav, we ut

ever started in our town. The mi
will run the year round and those ba'
ing wbeat for sale can find marke
here for it. In opeoing up this ne'
market. there will be money circula
ing all the time. You can sell you
wheat as you need the cash. or dispos
of it at one time, which will give yo
money a month or six weeks before t<
bacco comes in. Mr. Ervin deserve
much credit for what he is doing, an
we hope Manning will not have anothe

patronize this home industry.

riage to Benjamine Terrell Kolb. The

der an arch of pink and green, the

groom with his best man, his brother,
Clinton Kolb of Privateer.
During the oeremonv music was
rendered by Miss Irma Smith on the
piano, accompanied by Miss Gladays

Farmers' Rally at Trbnity.
Alcolu July 17.-The following gentle
men addressed the Farmers' Field Day
meeting at Trinity, near here, on yes
terday:
Mr. John Madison DesChamps spoke
on the subject: "We and the Other
Fellow," and for more than an hour
entertained his audience on an interest
ing expose of the natural advantages
of South Carolina; during which he as
sured his audence that he would be a
candidate for governor in 1916. Many
complimented the address of Mr. Des
Champs, who by the way is a brother
of our ablo representative, Hon. R. S.
DesChamps. Mr. J. M. DesChamps has
travelled all over the United States and
into many foreign coentries, has had
much commercial experience, lias
written extensively and is all round in
formed on the topics of the day, and a
leasing and instructive platform ora
tor.
Hon. J. Arthur Banks, State Sena
tor from Caltioun county, next address
ed the meeting in re, the great advant
ages to be derived from housing and
storing cotton as per the State ware
house law in South Carolina, and re
cited the ease and facility with which
he, through the Instrumentality of the
Hon. John L. McLaurin had secured
money on his cotton in his State ware
house at St. Mitthews, through the
National City Bank of New York.
The next on the program was that
silver tongue orator and Southern de
bator and champion of the cause of the
farmers, the Hon. John L. McLaurin,
State- warehouse commissioner and
originator and effector of the State
warehouse law. who after a few intro
ductory remarks, explained that he
had just returned from Atlanta, where
he had been using his great endeavors
to get the legislature of the State of
Georgia and the great State of Ala
bama to pass just such a warehouse
law as he had by unt.iring efforts se
cnrep for 'Sotfth Carolina and that he
found that the great effort in Atlanta.
where the legislature of Georgia is in
session is to crease in the large cities
large warehouses to which the farmezr
would be expected to ship his cotton,
giving a raice-off to the railroads and
place the farmer's property where it
would be not only a collateral for the
large banks in the great cities, but
give to the stockholders of the la'ge
warehouses in these centers a large
margin in the storage and to the con
necting banks in said cities the loans
and deposits, or a certain reutentative
portion-of the peposits. Mr. McLaurin
made fervent and patriotic appeal to
the farmers to stand together and car
ry out the plan of the State warehouse
law and thereby save the South from
financial ruin and at the same time
bring themselves into the possession of
the profits that were justly theirs- by
the hardships incident to producing
and harvesting the cotton crop 'which
he said was the foundation of Southern
civilization and what prosperity the
South had made.
After the meeting was over, which
was presided over by that truly gen
erus representative, the Hon. "Bob"
White, Capt J. N. McKenzie, agricul
turist for the D. W. Alderman &'Sons'
Co., of Alcolu, in company with this
correspondent, motored to Sumter in
comnp any with Senators McLaurin and
Banks.
Great praise was heard on every
hand for the ,nmagnificient, sumptuous
repast that was served today by the
ladies of Trinity.

Scott Uked Work-Pressure.
Scott, who was poet, novelist, law
yer, too, would have been greatest of
all as journalist. Listen to this from
his Journal for February 15, 1826:
"Yesterday I did not write a line .of
'Woodstock.' Partly, I was a little out
of spirits . . . Partly, I wanted to
wait for some new ideas. . . . Partly,
I was a little too far beyond the press.
I cannot pull well in long traces, when
the draught Is too far behind me. I
love to have the press thumping, clat
tering and banging in my rear; It cre
ates the necessity which almost makes
me work best. Needs must when the
devil drives. . . . There Is the very
spirit of journalism; and that devil,
surely, Is the printer's -devil!"
The Actor's Mistake.
Toole, the English actor, used to get
ff a good thing occasionally. At din
ner at a country hotel he was sitting
next to a gentleman who had helped
himself to an extravagantly large piece
f bread. Toole took It up and began
to cut a slice from It. "Sir," said the
indignant gentleman, "that Is my
bread." "I beg a thousand pardons,
sir," replied the actor, "I mistook It for
the loaf.*

Summerton.
Your correspondent received last
Wednesday afternoon the following let
ter, post marked Summerton, S. C.,
July-14, 1915. -Whoa Take The Bits"
The Heathens rage, let the people i e
joice, signed, Guess Who. Most like
ly the words of the above were gotten
from the telegrams of Senator B R.
Tillman and Mr. W. P. Pollock, after
the defeat of the former Governor to
the United States Senate last summer,
and shows no originality of M r. Guess
Who. The above of course is a jab at
me for voting for my friend and neigh
bor, Mr. John R. Dingle. But before
attempting to guess who, I would say
that I have no apologies to make to
men who sign their name to what they
write. much less to those who from
over joy or cowardice do not sign their
names to what they write. However
there is no occasion for the beathen to
rage in this instance, as I felt sure
that the men who voted for Mr. Din
gle,have a high regard for Mr.DuRant
and will shear with their fellow cit
izens, the pride we will all have in our
new Senator. And I feel sure had Mr.
DuRant been asked the question if he
wanted the vote of as an unmanly a
man. as would write a letter to another
as tlie above without signing it I am
sure he would have declined his vote.
I will not bother myself to guess who
it was, that would write anonymous let
ter,but will satisfy myself with the state
ment that it is possible that Mr. Din
gle may have gotten a vote or two from
heathens, but the above note to me is
positive proof that Mr. DuRant got
one yote from a voter who is less than
a
In January of this year, a few men in
this community determing that tobac
co planting in the Summerton section
should be thoroughly tested, at the
first of the year there were a large
number who planted tobacco beds but
the trying weather conditions of the
spring caused the greater number who
had planted beds to abandon the enter
prise. However about 12 or 15 men
have persevered, and although their
acreage is reduced, they are now in
sight of victory. Several barns are
now curing, and the growing tobacco
looks good, and is of a good quality.
This means that for the first time in
the history of Summerton, from six to.
ten thousand dollars of ready cash will
be put in circulation between now and
September the 1st. And all those who
planted tobacco this year are going to
increase their acreage next year, and
with the addition of many more plant
ing we are assured that Summerton
will have a tobacco warehouse next
season, and hard times then will be -a
tbing of the past after July 15th.
Mr. J. H. T. Coulliette who lives in
the Ponola section has five acres of
what is known as the Coulliette strain
ed long staple cotton, which is said to
be the best cotton in this section of the
county, and when Mr. Coulliette was
seen by your correspondent and asked,
about this cotton he said "unless some
disaster should take place he. was cer
tain of as much as a bale to the acre,
and if it kept un growth a little longer
and held the fruit it is now taking on,
it would perhaps make six bales on the
five acres. And that in 1912 he sold
some of this same cotton as high as 23
cents, and that even last year when
you could hardly sell cotton at any
price that he found ready sales for this
cotton at prices from 14 to 15 1-2 cents"
This undoubtedly is a fine variety of
staple cotton and if many more farm
ers planted this cotton money would
be more plentiful.

Magistrate A. J. Richbourg had
Eev. Henry Felder, colored, arrested
one day last week Felder was charg
d with working a horse withouta feed
