N. C., is spending a month's

Excitement is rife in the Steel
Creek section over the announcement
of government experts
that eggs of the moths that
i i 1
later will breed worms nave Deen
found on the cotton. This is
taken to mean that the caterpillars
as soon as they are hatched
out will direct their attention
to the cotton plants as well as
corn and grasses.
It seems certain that Fort Mill
will have an "Ira B. Jones Club" j
at work between this and election
day. A petition for members
to the proposed club has
been circulated on the streets
and a score or more of voters
have attached their names thereto.
In signing the petition the
voter, it is said, pledges himself
to vote for Jones and use his influence
to get others to vote for
the Lancaster man.
The high plane upon which the
county campaign meetings are
* "? * A I* ]
being conducted is a iact ior
which every citizen who loves
the dignity and honor of his
community may well be thankful.
It is no time for mudslinging,
personal abuse and
vituperation. One of the distinguishing
marks of a good
citizen is self-control, and a
citizen unable to exercise that
virtue is an unsafe member of
the body politic, whether he be a
mere voter or an office-seeker.
Injured by Fall from Train.
Friends in this section of Mr.
J. C. Mc?lhaney, son of Mr. and
Mrs. J. VV. McElhaney, of Fort:
Mill, will regret to learn that the
young man is confined to a Chester
hospital as the result of a
fall from a freight train in that
city early Sunday morning.
Mr. McFlhaney has for several :
months filled a position on the
police force of Rock Hill. Upon
being excused from duty Satur-j
? -- ~ k 1- l>/\ a crr\ ti\
uay IliJ^UL UK UCtlUCU IV ft\j vv
Chester. On reaching that city
Mr. McEihaney misjudged the1
speed at which the train was
moving and in alighting therefrom
was thrown violently to
the ground sustaining an injury
to his back and a badly sprained
ankle.
The accident to Mr. McEihaney
happened about 1 o'clock Sunday
morning and, being rendered
helples by his injuries, the young
man lay beside the railroad track
for several hours, until discovered
by a passerby, when he was
removed in an ambulance to a
Chester hospital. It was at first
feared that Mr. McEihaney had
; been internally injured, but it
now seems that his most serious
injury was to his ankle and it is
expected that he will be able to
return to his home here in a
short time.
Happy Gathering of Old Men.
The home of Afr. D. G. Kimbrell,
two miles south of town,
was the scene of a happy gatherine
Tuesday, when seven of the
, oldest men of the township
gathered at the home to partake
. of a picnic dinner to which they
( had been invited. The total age
of Mr. Kimbrcll's seven guests
aggregated 533 years, or an
average of 76 years and a few
months, and is without doubt
the oldest set of men who have
joined together for a festive
occasion in this section in many
; years. Those composing the
; party, with their ages, were:
; Frank Powell, 81: A. S. White,
; 80: Jno. Kimbrell, 80; T. D.
1 Faulkner, 78: James Potts, 75;
R. B. Burns, 71; J. M. Arm*
strong, 68.
The old citizens enjoyed themselves
immensely and all wished
for their host many years of
[ prosperity and happiness.
i New Paper for Yorkville?
One of the Fort Mill men who
I visited Yorkville last Wednesday
? and attended the State campaign
1 meeting, reported upon his reJ
turn that a movement was on
r foot in that city to establish
another newspaper. It was said
i that several of the most wealthy
and influential men of Yorkville
; were pushing the project and
: that it was expected that a
, strong company would be organized
and the new paper
r probably would appear within
j the next two months.
Announcement comes from
* Washington City that the nation5
al congress will adjourn Saturr
day, after one of the longest
sessions on record.
Suspended From Soldieas' Home.
Fort Mill people generally will
read with interest the following
article taken from the Columbia
State of Thursday:
Samuel F. Massey, who, a
short time ago sent a communication
to The State referring to
an incident at the Confederate
Home in which he stated that
H. W. Richardson had forbidden
the use of his name in the columns
of a newspaper, has been
suspended for 30 days. The
charges preferred against Mr.
Massey are insubordination,
breach of rules, drunkenness and
insulting a member of the board
of commissioners. Mr. Massey
says that he was not cited to
appear before any members of
the board and that only two
members of the board were
present, Mr. Richardson and Dr.
F. W. P. Butler.
The trouble ending in the suspension
of Massey had its beginning
when Major Richardson
chairman of the board of commissioners
and a salaried officer,
appointed of Gov. Blease, told
Edward J. Jones, a Confederate
veteran, but not an inmate of
the Soldiers' Home, that he
could not hold his job as hospital
steward at the home if he did
not bestir himself in behalf of
Blease. Massey heard of the
threat, and understood that it
applied to all employes whether
inmates of the home or not, and
so reported it. Later, Maj.
Richardson, in a ta'k at the
home, denied that he referred to
all employes.
Mr. Massey was not then allowed
a hearing, and made a
statement in the newspapers.
He did not regard Maj. Richard-1
son's admonition not to use his
name, and his suspension is the
final result.
Mr. Massey was a member of
Co. A, Second battalion, cavalry,
under Capt. Jas. P. Adams of
this county. He was afterwards
in Co. H, Fourth South Carolina
cavalry, commanded by Col.
Rutledge, and was under Capt.
J. C. Foster. He was wounded
at Trevillion station but went
through the battle anyhow. He
is from Lancaster county.
Commenting editorially on the
above The State says in conclusion:
"In our opinion the transgression
of Major Richardson is
a thousand times greater than
that of Private Massey."
A Day of Prayer for Jones.
The Ministerial Union of Columbia
has named Sunday, next,
August 18, as a day of prayer on
the political situation in this
State, asking that on that day
all the ministers in their sermons
invoke Divine aid to rid
South Carolina of Bleasism.
It is further asked that tomorrow
(Friday) afternoon at 5
o'clock the people of the State
gather in their homes and pray
for Divine deliverence from the
present political situation, and
to ask that only pure, clean and
honorable men be elected to office.
Who Will Win?
One week from next Tuesday,
which will be August 27, the
fr^nre r>f Rnntti Carolina will tro
V/A MVV?V?* S'V.. - w
to the polls and decide the issue
as to whether Ira B. Jones or
Cole L. Blease will be governor
for the next two years, for although
there is a third candidate,
John T. Duncan, in the
race, he is not liable to poll at
the outside over 5,000 and is not
a factor. The fight is between
Blease and Jones and one or the
other will be governor.
The campaign which is just on |
the eve of being brought to a 1
close, is one of the most spectacular
this State has witnessed
in many years, certainly since
the days when B. R. Tillman,
the rugged farmer of Edgefield,
was swept into the governor's office
on a wave of revolt against |
the Democracy which had ruled |
from the time the carpetbaggers
and radicals were turned out following
the upheaval in 1876.
Even that campaign pales into
insignificance wnen cumpai cu
with this of 1912. for the bitterness
and the language which has
been used on the stump has
passed all bounds of imagination
for invective. It's a campaign
which will go down in the history
as the most bitter of the age.
There will be 110,000 and probably
115,(JG0 ballots cast in the
election, for the former number
has been polled once or twice in
previous years and it is believed
that the figures will reach the
latter proportion this year. Two
years ago Blease was elected
governor in the second primary
over C. C. Featherstone. receiving
a total of about 56,000 to 51,000
for Featherstone. This year
the forces behind Blease and
Jones are claiming victory by
majorities ranging from 10,000
to 25,000, the Blease estimate
running from 10,000 to 18,000
and the Jones prediction from
10,000 to 25,000.
There are just six more meetings
to be held in the campaign,
those at Greenwood, Abbeville,
Anderson, Walhalla, Pickens,
and the closing meeting at Greenville
on the 22nd.
%
Flying Men Fall
victims to stomach, liver and kidney
troubles just like other people, with
like results in loss of appetite, backache,
nervousness, headache, and
tired, listless, run-down feeling. But
there's no need to feel like that as
T. D. Peebles, Henry, Term., proved.
"Six bottles of Electric Bitters," he
writes, "did more to give me new
strength and good appetite than all
other stomach remedies! used." So
they help everybody. Its folly to
suffer when this great remedy will
you from the first dose. Try it.

Senate Passes Postoffice Bill.
The postoffice appropriation
bill, which has been before the 1
United States Senate since May
2, passed that body Tuesday
night at the end of two days of
sharp fighting over provisions
relating to parcels post, good
roads improvement and the affiliation
of postal employes with
labor organizations. As it goes
back to the House, it contains
some restrictions upon the rights
of postal employes to join outside
organizations, and an entirely
new system of parcels post,
based on the "zone plan," with
varying rates for carying distances.
Indian Killed On Track
Near Kochelle, 111., an Indian went
to sleep on a railroad track and was
killed by the fast express. He paid for
his carelessness witn his life. Often j
its that way when people neglect :
coughs and colds. Don't risk your I
life when prompt use of Dr. King's j
New Discovery will cure them and so j
prevent a dangerous throat or lung
trouble. "It completely cured me, in
a short time, of a terrible cough that
followed a severe attack of Grip,"
writes J. R. Watts, Floydada, Tex.,
"and I regained 15 pounds in weight
that I had lost." Quick, safe, reliable
and guaranteed. 50c and $1.00.
