Columbia.?John Gary Evans, chairman of the state democratic executive committee issued an appeal to the people of South Carolina to contribute to the Woodrow Wilson campaign fund.

Wilie Jones, treasurer of the Democratic commltteee. The appeal is as follows: To the people of South Carolina: "The Democratic party enters the presidential campaign under the most favorable auspices in its history. The Republican party is hopelessly divided, one wing being supported by the Steel, Harvester and Sugar trusts and the other by the Standard Oil, Tobacco and other trusts not prosecuted. "The money trust hoped to control the Democratic convention at n-1.l TTDO fnmrilptftlv routed DO.111 illUi cr, uuv " iv? wa-, ?^ and expelled from the temple. "Governor Wilson, the nominee of the party for president, is a statesman, honest, clean and above reproach. He haa refused to receive the money of the privilege seeking millionaires and trusts. He Is without personal means to run his campaign and entirely dependent upon the contributions of the people for whom he is fighting for the necessary funds Incidental to all campaigns. Not a dollar of this money will be used for any save legitimate expenses and that under the direction of Governor Wilson. "The election of a Democratic president means a great deal to South Carolina. Will you not as Democrats individually and collectively contribute what you can to help win this flght. The newspapers are kindly doing what they can to collect a suitable fund. I call upon every county Democratic club to solicit subscriptions of one dollar each from the members thereof and send the same to Gen. Wille Jones, treasurer of the Democratic executive committee, Columbia. Let us 'rally around the Virginian' and show our loyalty by contributing what we can. South Carolina New Enterprises.

Last year this worm caused a lot or trouble around here, but its ravages are far worse this season. It is not the cotton crop alone that this pest is confining its activities to, for the corn, hay and potato crops are being seriously damaged also. Some of the leading planters report that whole fields of young corn are being lost on account of the worm and that the pea vine hay crop is practically ruined. For several years the farm, ers in this section have been reading about the army worm but until the last year they never knew what a terrible pest this little worm was. Florence County Campaign. The Florence county campaign opened up at Salem, in the extreme southeastern section of the county, and ended at Florence with two meetings before the general primary. Owing to the large number of citizens 1 of Florence who could not get to hear the candidates at the noonday meeting, the county executive committee arranged for a night meeting, and that meeting was always looked forward to as the meeting of the campaign. In fact. It was usually more largely attended than the state ' campaign meetings when held In Florence. Sixth District Master Printers. 1 The master printers of the Sixth 1 district are to meet in Florence about the second week in August for the in1 traduction of scientific estimate of costs in their shops as has been done in most of the other districts of the ' state.

LJFO IM1M 13 A LIVE ORGANIZATION?IS FOR THE UPBUILDING OF THE STATE. NEXT MEETING AUGUST 15 The Temporary Chairman Gives Reasons Why Everybody Should Take Interest In It.?Meeting of the Board of Director* Called. Columbia. ? R. G. BrueBchwielef, temporary secretary of the South Carolina chamber of commerce, recently organized In Columbia, Is active with the members of the organization and the press, calling attention to a letter JuBt Issued that interest must be maintained in order for the plans for upbuilding the state might be successful. It has been deemed wise to defer the next meeting of the board of directors of the South Carolina chamber of commerce from August 7, at Columbia, to August 15th, at Spartanburg. This latter date is the time for the big "Charleston-Panama" meeting in Spartanburg, which will undoubtedly attract a large number of business men from every section of the state. Among them will be many of the directors of the Btate chamber. Holding both the meetings of the board of directors of the state chamber and the "Charleston-Panama" meeting at the same date, will save many considerable railroad fares, and will also enlarge the attendance at both sessions. Some Note*. If you want to go ahead?say something?do something?be something. Peep once in a while. Many a peep has been heard around the world. Any state that expects to grow, has to work for that growth. Opportunities are not known unless you advertise them. Only adequate publicity ? 111 fKam lrnntvn T1 thp tfilth ; and build up a firm foundation. There is good enough in the truth without being compelled to misrepresent. ! Checks for $5 have been received j by the temporary secretary for the defraying of office expenses until a definite financial plan has been adopted, from the following cities: j Columbia, Branchvllle, Charleston, Bishopville, Chester, Greenville, Belton and Sun>ter. This amount will be credited to the respective organizations as a preliminary contribution to ; the state chamber. ! Politics In Darlington County. Darlington.?Time for filing pledges for county offices will expire on August 1 at 12 o'clock noon. This rule , in the past has been rigidly adhered j to. and this year will be no exception. There will be a number of contestants for almost every office in the county. There are few, if any, issues, outside of the legislative positions. One of the issues in the latter, doubtless will be whether or not the county is to have a dispensary. Aiken County Hospital Association..

Second Week Orangoburg Campaign. Orangeburg.-?The second week of the Orangeburg county Democratic campaign ended with the meeting at Cope. The meeting was well attended and was notable in some ways. Until recently the candidates ; for the legislature had not been catechized as to how they stood In regard to the candidates for governor. It was rumored some days ago that Cope was to be the "finding out point." Some candidates have been ready to speak out while others hoped the question would not be popped. Study Method of Tick Eradication. Spartanburg.?Members of the Australian tick commission, accompanied by Dr. K. M. N'eighbert of the United States department of agriculture, have spent a day in Spartanburg studying the methds of tick eradication apnliorl in this rruinfrv The visitinSf commission is composed of Percy Cowley of Sidney, supervisor inspector of agriculture of New South Wales; P.

Washington.?Reports from Topeka that supporters of Mr. Taft in Kansas, among them David W. Mulvane, plan to have the Supreme Court of the 1 United States review the decision of the Supreme Court of Kansas in the presidential primary case, have aroused interest of Republican political ! | leaders here of all factions. Friends of Colonel Roosevelt, particularly Senator Bristow of Kansas, are watching for developments in the case and keeping a keen lookout for i the arrival of legal representatives of the Taft champions in Kansas, who may be coming to seek an order directing that the case be reviewed. The Supreme Court of Kansas decided that it would not enjoin county clerks from printing on the primary ballots of August 6 under the name of "Republican party" the nameB of men who had declared they would J vote for Roosevelt. Any member of the court has the power to issue an order requiring the Kansas Supreme Court to send the unaw up ior review. ixigicany the application would be made cally the application would be made to Justice Van Devanter, but he is spending Ills vacation in the mountains of New Hampshire. Application might also be made to Justice Day, now at Mackinaw. While a justice might feel himself empowered to Issue an order for the review, members of the court lately have hesitated to take that responsibility, where momentous questions delicately balanced were involved. Chief Justice White referred the application to the entire court when an application for similar relief was made in the "beef trust" case last winter, j ' Such action would be equivalent to a i denial of the application in this case, it is pointed out, as the primary would 1 be over before the court could act in October, its next date of meeting. i | i j Aldermon Ask For Re-election, I Detroit, Mich.?The nine alder1 men under arrest on the charge of acs cepting money for their votes in a i street closing case will go before their 1 constituents for re-election according to the list of primary candidates when it was completed and time had expired for filling petitions.
