MUCH INTEREST IS SHOWN Corn Club Boys Are Showing How to Make Corn Crops at Low Cost.?Tick Eradication Work is to Be Pushed Forward. 8h&ron.?On the many acres which are being cultivated in York county along the lines of United States demonstration plan, the increase of yield In corn will be several thousand bushels. When it is considered further that this corn has been produced at a cost of about 30 cents a bushel, with a saving of 50 cents a bushel on what It would cost next year if Imported from the West, it can readily be seen what the demonstration work and the boys' corn clubs have done for this county. It means, too, that there are at least a hundred boys in this county who will never again be content to pursue the old slip-shop unprofitable methods that yielded an average crop of less than 15 bushels to the acre. A successful and observant business man said recently that success in these plans carried with it the assurance that the cause of good roads, good schools and gc-*i churches, and that all other community interests win De mvestea witn new me. The membership of the boys' corn clubs in this community Is very much encouraged over the prospect this year for a fine yield and it is believed that Sharon and vicinity will again carry off the best prizes that have offered in this county. Perhaps nowhere elBe in South; Carolina has greater Interest been taken in the question of eradication,, now such a vital one throughout this section, as that manifested in this part of York county. Dr. P. E. Qui nil, district superintendent of the work, is stationed at Sharon and he has had the aid and co-operation of the farmers and cattle growers in this section to such an extent that be has been able to release the quarantine on a part of his territory, but he has in force a strict and stringent tick law In regard to bringing in and shipping stock out of the county.

LEO FC BjpiF PROBLEMS OF MARKETING COTTON AGAIN PRESENTED TO THE FARMER8. THIS WORK HILL BE PUSHED Planteni, Bankers and Other Business Men Interested Urged to Meet to Adopt Fixed Policy of Marketing the 1912 Cotton Crop. / Columbia?The following report will be of Interest to the whole country: To the Farmers, the Merchants, the Bankers and the Press o' the South? Beginning with last September the South, with dire disaster threatening the nation's greatest money crop, has been engaged in one of tfie greatest economic struggles in her history. The last year enaea wun commercial ?iw tory that perhaps saved millions of dollars to the growers of cotton and to those whose business Interests are absolutely dependent upon cotton and a fair price for that commodity. The South is now facing another cotton crop year and already the influences that have heretofore been at play, at will to manipulate the marketing of this commodity, which brings back from Europe to this country a half-million dollars annually and upon which the stability of American finance and the balance of the world's trade in favor of the nation depend, are again at work, as is evidenced by the depression of the prices of cotton to the extent of $10 per bale In the last ten days. The real fight for proper marketing and greater stability of prices must now be fought ,and it rests with the projjucing, banking and commercial interests of the South to push that fight upon sound economic lines based upon business principles applicable to changing international commercial relations.

SDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1( SOUTH CAROLINA ELECTION NEWS THERE ARE OVER 135,000 VOTES RECORDED FOR GOVERNOR IN THIS STATE. 0 TELLS CHAIRMAN OF STATUS Tillman Seems Sure of Speedy Election?From Present Outlook There Will Be a Second Primary?Largest Vote Ever Recorded In State. Columbia?With the vote cast bo large to arouse protests of illegal voting, the total balot for governor having, the total ballot for governor hav138,314, with inany precincts yet to hear from at last report, Cole. L. Blease, governor of South Carolina, on the face of the returns has a majority of 2,296 for renomlnation over his opponent, Ira B. Jones It was a veritable flood of votes. When the first report ran heavy it was first ascribed to unusually fast work on the part of the managers, but as the ballots continued to pile in .the conclusion began to force Itself upon the observer that South Carolina had broken its own record by some 15,000 otes in the race for governor. Allegations of illegal methods were not wanting to stire up citizens. Into the office of the state chairman, John Gary Evans, in Spartanburg, there poured, according to dispatches from that city, numbers of telegrams and telephone calls from the up-country. In Spartanburg, when the executive committee meets to tabulate the vote, protest on the result will be presented. It will be pointed out that the increase in the vote since the last election is out of all proportion to the increase in population, i In Anderson county, which polled a tremendous vote, there were rumors that the executive committee will probably order a recount. The vote for governor, which alone showed any remarkable Increase, stood as follows, there being about 30 more precincts to hear from: Blease 70,300, Jones 68,004, Duncan 2,018. Blease's majority stood at 2,296. TABLE SHOWING VOTE FC | ' i * V I ? County U ? B ? 1 2 8 | * " ? S ? 5 Abbeville 26 26 1,316 Aiken 34 30 2,016 Anderson 83 83 5,074 !

When the Democratic executive committee for Aiken county was called to order by County Chairman B. H. Wise to tabulate officially the votes cast at the various boxes in this county and to declare the results, the committee faced the same proposition that the state oxceutive committee goes up against when it meets in Columbia, H. M. Cassels of Ellenton appeared to protest the election in this 4? J r? onmnluf o ro. county tt.HU Iivniaiiuvu a count. He based his protest upon indisputable irregularities. Protests Vote in Five Precincts. The Union county Democratic executive committee met to tabulate the election returns and declare the election. L. G. Southard of Jonesville filed notice of a contest in the vote for governor and demanded that the committee count all the votes cast in that race. He contested the votes polled in the following boxes: Ward 4. BufTalo, Monarch, Lockhart, Kelton and Bibbs, all but the last two being mill precincts. An interesting situation seems to exist in the race for sheriff. To Preserve the Primary. State Chairman John Gary Evans arrived in Columbia, and being asked or a statement regarding the telegram Senator Tillman sent him several days ago dictated the following: "The primary election in South Carolina, while limited to the nomination of candidates of the Democratic part", yet the person receiving 6uch nomination is practically elected, there being but one party in the state. We have thrown every safeguard around our general election in November. / . TI )1Z In the race for the United States ' Benate B. R. Tillman, the Incumbent, continued to run strongly, with the indications that he would go on in the first ballot. He more than doubled N. B. Dial's votes and lacked but little of gaining a similar -decisive advantage over W. J. Talbert, his other opponent. The vote: Tillman 61,700, Talbert 31,176, Dial 23,563. Tillman's majority. 6,961. For attorney general, J. Fraser Lyon, the incumbent, was running well in front, but lacked the necessary majority, and It was apparent that he ( would have to make a second race with Thos. J. Peeples of Barnwell. Mr. Lyon was nearly 13,000 votes ahead of Mr. Peeples, but the voting of the other two candidates more than made this up. The vote stood: Lyon 52,411, Peeples 38,791, John R. Earle 12,200, B. B. Evans 10,823. For State treasurer, S. T. Carter kept up his remarkable run, bringing his vote up to 72,557, to 41,376 for his opponent, D. W. McLaurln. John O. Richards, Jr., seems likely to go Into office for another term as railroad commissioner without having the trouble of going into a- second race. At a late hour Mr. Richards was leading the race by a big margin, and had enough lead, if held, to do away wjth the necessity of a second race. Mr. Richards' majority over both his opponents is 1,166. Later returns, however, may cut this away. Aside from the large vote cast, a feature of the primary was the overturn in many counties that went to Blease in the last primary. Notable among these were Orangeburg and Charleston, especially the later. Orange burg, which went to Blease by a small majority in 1910, gave Jones a majority of almost 1,000. Richland county, where the fight raged hot all the time, gave a majority to Blease, but It was far less than that by which the county went to the governor In the last primary. Dorchester went for Jones by a small majority, as did Calhoun, but DHlon swung into the Blease column, along with Marion. Darlington was about the same as Marlon. In Florence the race was close, with Jones finally getting the advantage Anderson's vast majority was what really turned the Bcale, on the face of the returns, In favor of Blease. Aiken, which last time went to the governor strongly, this time gave him a comparatively small majority.
