Ic the Democratic Voters of b Carolina. c ire to express to you b hest appreciation of the li mplimentary vote which 0 for me and for the prin d or which I stand in the v election last Tuesday, E esire to call your special v n to the following facts: the home county of Mr. tl ing, Sumter, he only led c: a very small vote. In his E ormer home county where the fh county seat is named in honor of n his grandfather, you will find a a handsome majority for me and T .. the case of the border coun- n d~es touching his home county- a iorence, Darlington, Lee, Ker- p Y-shaw, Richland and Clarendon, r ,t= will find that I have defeat ed him. In my former home county-Newberry, I have led as also in tie counties adjoining C Xt viz: Saluda, Greenwood, Lex n ,ngton, Fairfield. Union, and 1 genly lacked a few votes of equali a te vote of Mr. Gooper in his a dome county of Laurens. In my adopted .home-Ric gland. here I have lived for the past c six years and where I now vote' t the result was as follows: Blease 2,924, Manning 1,875, Cooper, t 1,013- c " 'Now, fellow citizens, take a these respective votes and com- a <pr them and see which of Ithe men stands best and has the friends where he was born reared and where he is best a . If it be by that criter iothat yon judge us, your con will dictate that you vote a for Blease. N> Now again, take the counties ~ thave the- largest primaryr ~ ote, for instance Anderson. Beeville, Spartanburg, York, (aerokee and Pickens and look d ~the heavy vote received by mthere and you will find that --*ieMr. Booper received a e ,1eycomplimentary vote, I led a luhe race and Governor Man was repudiated by receiv -a mere pittance. .-Ini very few counties of the -did Mr. Manning receive a plait. In the Pee Dee,where isfriends claimed he would . ~we he field, you will find W him in a minority. In Horry, ~ N . arion, Dillion, Marlboro, Ches r e terfield, Darlingtonl, Florence, ~ QGeorgetown, his friends are sore e ly disappointed and weigbe cause of the fact that his admin- e istration has proven distasteful tothe white people throughoutI "In his statement he says 'A $ majority of the votes were cast Magainst Blease.' I think, if you g Kw~i notice. you will find that a miuch larger majority was cast aganst the present governor. ~ "He farther says, He (Blease) ~ olls his full strength in the frst primary always- I presume be has forgotten the use of the English language, when he uses the word, always and he has a frgotten the truth when be says fullstrength. This is only the second time that I ha ze been in -second primary for a State ffice and in the second primary oft1910 my vote was materially a increased over the first and I -wselected governor. The same r ~tigwill happen in 1916. "He also says, 'A Cooper vote san anti-Blease vote.' If I may ~ 4dge, I think it could be more ruthfully said that a Cooper oto is an anti-Manning vote, ohe. not I, is the governor who is being repudiated by the , Cooper people. ."He further says, -Ih is the hsame situation as two years ago' r2gain he forgets the truth. T wo ears ago I was not in the guber natorial race. Had 1 been, the State would never have been hmiliated with the Manning ad miitration. "gihe says, "I started morning to win the fight Iam goinigto win it." lamn udto say that I did not start n ebeginning to fight. I a rted in to forgive and forget -to mntake my campaign as I did1 Supon a high plane and with the eniolmn promise to be governor] f all the people ef my State. his I expect to be and, and I o not expect to stand on the mu tate house steps as he did, and ba< old up my hands and swear to sel e governor of all the State, and feN aen turn around, as he did, and bei ick out every man who votes mt gainst me and put in only my da; eiends. I shall trully be gov- to rnor of all the people of my wa tate and let the past be the past an, nd by-gones be by-gones. and coi istead of trying to stir up bit- mc rness, as he and his supporters a 1 re now doing, I propose to try the a create among all the people th f the State a love for peace, for de, >r prosperity and for happiness as ud to have my friends and, so do< tr as I can, the whole people of of outh Carolina, turn to the up- gr uilding of our agriculture and tai mmerce, and all legitimate ion usiness industry, and to the up for ft of our people, and to service dal f their State and country and a our evotion to high ideals which is ill not only receive a proper re evE ard in this world but in the edi orid to come. qui "The people have endorsed Ke ie course taken by me in the en< impaign, by the following vote: pei lease over sixty thousand so an< tr reported, Cooper 28,867, Man the ing 38,463, and at the next pri- tat Lary I wild again be chosen the the 'emocratic nominee for gover- of or of South Carolina, and once ber gain the State will move on in rosperity end without inter option of progress." t:u REWARD THIS OFFICER. int Nearly a year and a half ago pe ol. D. E. McCarthy. quarter pri aster of the central department 1y f the United States Army, sent ag' letter to the army authorities in t Washington strongly recom- pr lending the creation of a Quart- Tb rmaster Reserve Corps, to be chi Dmposed of men of high execu- ev ve ability in the different lines the f business throughout the coun- ab y. Men thus selected would be exl m missioned by the president of s majors, captains and lieuten- A nts in the reserve corps, and ar rould be subject to call for mil- ne nary duty in -the quartermaster th Drps in time of war. Pr Congress has enacted Col. Mc- ly arthy's recommendation into We tw and many of the brightest do nd keenest business men of the do ountry are making application Do >r membership. They include ilroad men in the traffic. ac ounting, operating and mechan sal departments; managers and epartment heads of the great no1 avigation companies; automo- wb2 ile and auto truck manufactur es and mauagers; warehouse nd terminal company men; ex- cr2 erts in the animal mndustry. all holesale feed and grain men; agon, machine, harness and ther men; expert men in the ar holesale grocery, clothing, sm hoe, hat and other industries, cluding men skilled in the ianufacture of such articles; .be fficials of large hotels and ma~ staurants; men skilled in thle be uilding trades; construction ngineers and managers; experts i civil, mechanical, sanitaryt lectrical and struactural engi- ta eering; bankers and heads of ju.1 anking departments, and skill d men in many other lines of usiness not herein mentioned. No army can operate success ally without an efficient quar- ~r ermaster corps, and no quar-ter- ea aster corps can ever be a suc ess unless it is composed of -a 2en of a high order of intelli- dr *ence and executive ability. Colonel McCarthy is a veteran uartermaster wvho looks ahead astead of musing upon the past, d the newly created Quarter aster Reserve Corps is the ulti- or 2ate product of his shrewd brain. thi There remains yet another th< bing to be done. When the >resident is called upon to select G new Quartermaster General of be Army it would. be a fitting Ev ecognition of his splendid serv te :es to reward this officer by ele- wi ating him to that highly r-e- co ponsible position. c He has earned it, he should at~ ae it, and the country needs ful ien is calibre in the high icl ositions of trust and respor'si ility. - --- - f01 A brother editor says that ap rhen a man has $1,000,000 he en as to be careful how he spends wn bor his brains may be investi- n rated.

No other territory in the British em pire has a more tragic significance to Englishmen today than the Orkney Is lands, off whose shores the most dis tinguished victim of the world war, Earl Kitchener, lost his life when the cruiser Hampshire was sunk. These islands, 90 in number, of which only 30 are inhabited, are sep arated from the mainland of Scotland by the Pentland Firth, from six and a half to eight miles wide. They were selected as England's North sea naval base not only on account of their proximity to the field of operations, but on account of their semi-isolation and the advantage of the superb har bor of Stromness, in the largest island of the group, Pomona, which has an area of 200 square miles.. While the original inhabitants of the Islands were Picts, whose round towers .n' chambered mounds are among the interesting ruins of this re gion, the Norse pirates secured a foothold here during the early centuries of the Christian era, and carried on their depredations against all naviga tors of the North sea. In the last quarter of the ninth century Harold Haarfagr put an end to the rule of the pirates, and added both the Ork neys and the Shetland islands to Nor way's domain. In 1468 the Orkneys came under the sway of the Scottish crown, Christian I of Denmark giving them as securify for his daughter's dowry when she became the bride of James mI. As the dowry was never paid the islands have remained a part of Scotland's domain ever since. The Orkneys, which are the Orcades of classic literature, furnished the set ting for many of the episodes In Sir Walter Scott's novel, "The Pirate," the character of that romance being John Gow, the notorious frebbooter born in Stromness and captured off the is lands in 1725. Another literary as sociation of the Orkneys and one of especial interest to. Americans centers in Shapinshay, the birthplace of Will 1am Irving, father of Washington Irv Navajo Therapeutics The Medical Council, a medical magazine of Philadelphia, in an article by Dr. Basil A. Warren, who is in charge of the United States govern ment hospital at Leupp, Ariz., de scribed some of the methods employed by the Navajo Indians In the treat ment of diseases. The Navajos have a strong belief in demons or evil spir its and think that when a body is bur ied care miust be taken to cover up all tracks of those who left the grave so that the demons attending the burial could not follow them to their hogan-the hogan is the rudIe hut of the Indians-and do them harm. The chief measures used in treating disease are singing, dancing and in vocations. The singing idea is much in favor and might perhaps be adopt ed by civilization in some cases to the exclusion of less palatable potions. Certain songs are specific for certain diseases, but the sonig to be effective must be sung without a single error. These songs are not to be sung by quacks or irregulars, and to keep out such practitioners the regular profes sion employs a language which is not understood by any but themselves, a - dead language which the Indians be- . lieve was spoken by "the ancient holy people." The Worm That Turned. g Just by looking at him as he sat in tl the witness chair In the courtroom, one s ould tell that he was harmless, but a it lose Inspection would also have re vealed that there lurked behind his u narrowed and apologetic orbs, a latent T ire indicative of a past when his life had been his own-a past now long ' distant. His general air was that of one having been detected by the min ister while hoeing his garden on Sun Counsel for the plaintiff in the ease proceeded to ask him the usual ques tions: "Please state your name to the "John Jones." "Your age?" "Fifty-eight." "Married?" Then it was that John slid lower into his chair as a flash of determina ion came into his eye, and he an em d in a voice that could be heard distinctly, "Yes, very." In the rear of tl:e room a woman of: 20 pounds glared at the timid little' witness as he was seen trying to con-: ca a half-worried smile beneath his sraggling mustache.
