AT FAIR IN FLORENCE Hal ScArborough Loses Life Under Fast Driven Car in Pee Dee. Florence, Nov. 2.-Hal Scarborough, 21 years old, and son of the late Capt. Harry W. Scarborough, Atlantic Coast Line conductor, who died sud denly on his train at Rimini about six weeks ago, was killed, and five other young men more or less injured wben a big, high powered car overturned on the Darlington roid near the Pee Dee fair grounds late this afternoon. The young men were returning to Florence from a trip over a newly built-road and were driving at a high rate of speed. It is alleged that Lonnie Harris, owner and driver of the car, swerved too far to pass an approaching automobile with the re sult that the front wheels of his car straddled the dith. In the effort to jump back into the main road he put on all the power the car would stand with the result that it jumped the ditch and then turned over, possibly twice. Young Scarborough was caught underneath the automobile and crushed almost beyond recognition. Both of his legs were also broken. His death was instantaneous. Others ) injure dwere -Manning Saunders, Joe Lucas and Lonnie Harris of -Florence and C. A. Outlaw and Clarence Doyle of Darlington. All were taken to the Florence infirmary immediately after the accident where their wounds were dre:Ased. Harris, Saunders and Lucas. were stunned -and did not regain con aciousneps 1or a while. While none of them are seriously injured, all of the young men bear bruises and cuts about their faces and bodies. Doyle and Harris were on the front seat with Scarborough who was killed. Doyle was hurled through the wind shiel das was Ha(rris, the driver of the car. It is thought that Scarbor ough was caught under the car as it turned over. The coroner will hold - an inquest over Scarborough's body tom-orrow morning. It has been re moved to an undertaker. The funer al services will probably be held in Bishopville. The young man leaves a widowed mother, Mrs. N. W. Scar borough, and two sisters. SEARCH FOR RADIUM Utica, N. Y., Nov. 1.-In an effort to locate a milligram of radium valued at $13.000 carelessly dropped by a woman patient in the Faxton hospital here today, workmen began tonight to search sewers in the vic inity of the hospital. The radium was being used on the woman's breast in the hope of curing cancer. , Because it irritated her, the wo man who (lid not appreciate the value of the radium, went to a bath room, took the bandage off and threw it away.

In Eastern States---ate News From The West-Although Few Reports Come Fro mTerritory Beyond Allegheny Mountains Hard irig Was Assured of Enough Electorial Votes to Be come Next Occupant of White House. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-At 12:30 o'clock this morning with actual returns far from complete, Harding was certain of 275 votes in the electoral college from the following states. Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont Washington, Wisconsin and Wyoming. The states from which returns were too meagre to justify actually plac ing them in either the Harding or Cox column were Arizona, California, Colo rado, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New York, North Dakota, Utah, West Virginia-totaling 120. The states which were certain for Cox at that hour were Alabama, Ar kansas, Plorida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia, a total of 136 votes in the electoral college. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.-In the face of returns showing the growing land slide for Harding, Governor Cox's own newspaper, the Dayton Daily News, mnd Chairman White of the Democratis national committee, soon after 11 D'clock tonight conceded the election of Senator Harding. Without waiting for returns from the West, which four years ago elected Wilson in the face of pluralities for Hughes throughout the East, the Democratic candidate and his chief manager conceded that in the "solemn referendum" which President Wilson declared would decide the league of nations question, American voters had preferred Harding, ,who favoled "staying out." Governor Cox, who was in his newspaper office when the concession of Senator Harding's election was published, sa'i he would issue no statement. Senator Harding at his home in Marion said he was "more given to prayer to God to make me capable of playing my part" than he was to exultation. At 11:15 o'clock, Eastern time, with the West and Middle West still scarcely heard from, the Harding landslido in the East was continuing with gathering momentum. At the rate the Harding column was growing at that hour, the Republi nan plurality in the state of New York would be around the unprecedented ligure of more than a million. New York city, normally Democratic, was going for Harding by at least half a million. The governorship fight con tinued close with Republican ianagers claiming the defeat of Gov. Smith. Pennsylvania returns at- that hour showed Harding leading Cox three to one and Senator Penrose elected. Massachusetts was promisihg Harding the greatest plurality ever given a presidential candidate in that state. Bos ton had gone for a Republican for the second time in its history, and had given Harding a greater lead over Cox than it gave McKinley over Bryan in 1896. Returns from half of Vermont gave Hlarding a three to one lead over Cox. Hughes beat Wilson two to one there in 1916, In the, home district of Charles F. Murphy, leader of Tammany Hall, larding beat Cox 2 to 1. Maine reported Harding leading Cox by the larg est plurality ever given to a presidential candidate. Ohio, one-fifth com plete, showed a growing vote for. Harding. - Harding carried two wards in the city of Atlanta, Ga., and two parishes in the Louisiana sugar bLit, both Democratic territories. In the New York senatorial race, Senator Wadsworth was leading his D)emocratic opponent, Lieutenant Governor Walker. Senators Brandegee of Connecticut and Moses of New Hampshire, opponents of the league of na tions, both seemed certain of reelection. The late closing of polls in the Westerii states, the difference in time, long ballots and a greatly increased vote, were the cause of the late returns from thle West. DAYTON 01110, Nov. 2.--Governor Cox's newspaper, The Dayton News, issued an extra edition shortly before 11 o'clock tonight conceding the elec tion of Senator Harding, the Republican candidate, as president. The governor himself said he would make no statement tonight. His newspaper, however, carried the election returns under the caption, "Repub lican Landslide; Hfrding Wins." Governor Cox himself did not formally concede his defeat regardless of the statements made in his newspaper. le said: "I will make no statement tonight, and whatever my paper says is pure ly inersonal." Announcement that the extra woulu be issued was made at the gover nor's newspaper office at 10:15 and soon afterward word came from New York that Chairman White also had conceded Senator Harding's election. At that time the governor wias in his private oflice at his newspaper plant where he spent the evening with members of his family, watching the returns. Reporters, who called, found the governor smiling, and smoking ii cigar. IIe showed no emotion, an attitude he had maintained throughout the even ing, following a day spent quietly at his home near here. Friends who visit Ad him during the evening said the candidate realized his defeat long before the appearance of the newspaper extra. Mrs. Cox also seemed unaffected as did the governor's daughter, Mrs. 1). II. Mahoney. Apparently,. the most consoling news of the evening for the candidate was unlofficial returns, showing in 33 of the 265 precincts in Montgomery younty including Dayton that Governor Cox led his opponent, 5,218 votes to >,000. The county Democratic headquarters, however, reported that Ilard ing carried Carrimonte, the governor's own precinct, by 12 votes. NEW YORK, Nov. 2.--George White, chairman of the Democratic na tional committee, conceded the election of Senator Harding at A1 o'clock tonight. Mr. White also cenceded the election of a Republican congress. Tite following statement was issued by Mr. White: "'The abandonment by some of the most prominent Republican leaders )f the V'ery league of nations which they helped to construct has been suc essful. The people have succumbed to th confusion wrought by these dis tinguished men, and to the misrepresentati , i of those who would not and lid not understand the league of nations. I hope it may yet be rescued from Lhe political morass and be saved to mankind. "No one has any occasion for bitterness or of recrimination. What the whole people dkeeilde the whole people must accept. The Democratic national party abides the result cheerfully if with foreboding. Senator Harding is Lhe people's president. "In this election Republican propIaganda has been shrewdly directed to induce the descendants of six European nations to vote as six European na Lions instead of as one American nation. They have inveigled these Ameri :ans to vote with their thoughts across the sea instead of on this country. Dur common task must be to coalesce these groups again. "The fate of Irish freedom has been settled adversely. Men and wo men of Irish blood have voted for the candidate who has declared the Irish juestion to be a d(fmestic problem of Great Britain, in which he canl have no >flicial concern. With their support the American people have returned the [rish problem to Downing street. They have indorsed, I am sad to say, a separate peace with Germany. "For the first time i neight years a Republican party is face to face with the task of constructive legislation, and more than that, the measures if re Jenstructioin for wvhich the country has been asking of congress for two years in vain. 'lhey must change a negative recordl into a positive. And in this task they have the best wishes oif all who love their country.

It takes money to feed any kind of a hog, but it takes less to feed a good one. This fact was easily demonstrat ed at the South Carolina State Fair at Columbia last week when the Duroc hogs belonging to the Bradham Duroc Farm of Manning, returned home with a bunch of prizes to their eyedit. Mr. J. I. Bradham, manager of the Farm, shipped thirteen head of these hogs and they were the following win ners: Grand Champion Senior Sow-First and Second. Champion Senior Sow Pig-First and Second. Junior Sow Pig-Second. Age Herd-First. Young Herd-First. Produce of Sow--First. Get of Sire-Second. Senior Boar-First. Senior Boar Pig-First. Grand Champion Boar-First. Junior Boar Pig-Second. Futurity Litter-Second. This is a wonderful record for a hog farm and the farmers of Claren (Ion County should be proud of the fact that Clarendon hogs make just as good showing (if not better) as any in the country. The Bradham Farm will offer Bome of these winners at their Winter Sale on December 28th and this will be a great opportunity for our farmers to improve their breeds by getting pure bred stock. - 0 RAISE HOGS AND GROW RICH Cotton farmers of Carolina are cer tainly awake to the fact that they are due -for a change and that change must be made now. Too much cotton even witi the boll weevil ravishing the crop, sounds the near danger sig nal that some of our "eggs must be put in another basket." Live stock farming is the way out, and there is no live stock growing into which planters can embark as cheaply and as quickly as hogs. Necessary pre parations in the way of fence and permanent pastures are cheaper than for cattle, breeding amounts come cheaper, and returns come quicker. The wise thing for the South Carolina farmer to do right now is to get in some pasture and make some hog pens with good fencing for as sure as the world he is going to buy hogs before spring. In this day of improved machinery and higher prigxl land it would be wasting good money to grow scrub hogs. Buy pure bred hogs. What is a pure bred ? An animal that has thorough succeeding generations, been improved by mating and care so that he gives more and quicker returns for the feed you give him. Records are kept simply so buyers will know they are getting pure breds. Right hero in your home town of Manning is a concern that has put out lots of money to bring the best hogs in the world right at your dloor. Every farmer aroundl Manning needls to growv hogs in 1921 and it will pay you to talk the matter over with Bradham Farms and the proprietors will give you the right adlvice as to what and wvhen to buy andl howv to feed. Thle D~uroc .Jersey is an established hog in South Carolina and there are as many D~uroes in the State as all other p)ure breds comt)Inedl andl they are making goodl. The D)uroc JTersey sowv will make you a profit with her litter, andl put fertilizer on your fields c~heaper than you can buy the com mercial prodluct. There is always a market for your pigs every day in the year andl you don't need a gin or a warehouse. These are providled for you at the great market centers of the rountry. Many hog raisers are mank ing money suppllying local markets with products. IDon't sendl good Caro l ina dlollars to Chicago for meat when you have better condlitions undler which to grow it than the Northern farmer. -------- Miss Tfheo Berger arrived in Mann-. ing yesterday from Austria to make her home with her sister, Mrs. Ben Ness.

VOTES EARLY IN DAY Governor Receives Returns at His Dayton Newspaper Office Great Crowd Gathers. Dayton, Ohio, Nov. 2.--Other than casting his vote early in thc day Governor Cox te Democratic presi dential candidate apparently took a passive interest in the election but tonight he went to his newspaper office to watch the returns. The governor )vas smiling when he reach ed. the office at 7:30 p. m., accom panied by Mrs. Cox, but made no cocm ment on the election. At that time, the newsboys were in the streets with the first extras, carrying news unfavorable to the candidate. Out side his pfice a big crowd had gath ered to await the record of the vote and it greeted the governor with a cheer. Simultaneously, a bulletin from his office showed that the gov ernor had carried 12 of the.265 pre mints my Montgomery county includ ing Dayton by 300 votes. During the day most of which was spent at his home, near here the gov ernor seemingly paid no attention to the early scattering returns. His first information came when he reached his office and then he offered no com ment. The governor remained at his oflice until shortly after midnight, but abandoned watching the returns. The last hour and a half were devoted to receiving disconsolate friends, and to al Ithe governor thanked them for their interest in him. He never lost his smile and took the result philo sophically. Mrs. Cox, like lier husband, seeiled in goo(l spirits. -0 GEORGE SMITH'S BIRTHDAY One of the prettiest children's par ties of the season was the one given on last Tuesday afternoon by Master George Malcolm Smith, Jr., in honor of his sixth birthday. Hallow'een, colors and decorations were carriedl out in the (ining room, where deli eious ee cream cones, pink and white patty cakes, bananas and candies were served. The little tots indeed made a lovely pi-ture gathered around the tables, decorated in jack o' lanterns, pumpkins etc., and a lovely white birthday cake with its six pink and white candles was the center of at traction. As the children left the table they were each given a hal low'een box filled with can( as a souvenir by the occasion. Mirs. It. C. Wells ti 'Mrs. J. W. Wheeler assisted Mrs. Smith in serv ing refreshments, and Miss Frances Dickson and Miss Mildred Smith kept the children busy with games. About fifty boys and girls enjoyed Master Smith's plarty.
