Columbia.?The folder descriptive of the "Capital to Coast Highway," Columbia to Charleston, has been issued by the state department of gariculture. A series of route books have been issued by the department giving detailed information concerning practically every highway of importance in , the state. The department has also erected indestructible steel markers along these highways, each marker having drilled lettering and always showing exact mileage distances to the three nearest important points. The route besides show the location of the motft essential markers, this being the explanatory key to the marking system. The route book contains carefully prepared charts of the road, each sectional chart connecting with another, are drawn to a uniform scale, and on opposite pages exact mileage readings and specific directions to be used in connection with each chart Hotels and srasoline stations aro also shown. "The time ban come when the automobile and the motor truck have made remote farms and isolated country Tillages more accessible and desirable and are playing their part in the working out of a great economic problem. With the steadily Increasing use of these vehicles for agricultural and commerical purposes has, therefore, come an ever-increasing use of the public highways of the commonwealth, a similar demand for improved highways, and a still more pressing demand for accurate information In regard to these highways. "Consequently, this route book and Its companions forming a series have been prepared and issued by this department for the benefit of the many who now constantly travel the main public highways of South Carolina." This statement is made in the pre-** face of the route book. Annexation to Saluda County. 4 For some time there has been more or less of talk ?o the effect that the citizens of Batesburg and immedi ate vicinity were in favor of votinj themselves into Saluda county. This rumor, it now appears, is taking such shape that it 1b highly probable that the preliminary steps for annexation to Saluda county of this proposed ter ' ritory will be taken at an early day. This is gratifying to the people of Sa luda county who will render all the aid in their power in this direction. Denying He Ordered Arrest. ' Gov. Blease has written a letter of some 1,500 words in length to Sheriff J. D. Gilreath, denying that he order ed his arrest in connection witty tht escape of T. U. Vaughan from the Greenville jail. The letter in part de clares: "I only ordered your arres' upon condition: which condition war that Mr. Rector was to consult with the solicitor, and if he (the solicitor thought the evidence sufficient to con vict, that the arrests then he made. Ii Mr. Rector consulted Solicitor Bon ham and Solicitor Bonham told hiir to proceed, then I presume it could be stated that I ordered the arrest." Dispensary Sales In Seven Counties.

THE I COLLETON FAIR IS CLOSED! Fourth Annual Session Proves a Decided Success?Crowds Are Good After First Two Days. Walterboro.?The fourth session of the Colleton county fair association has been a decided success In every particular. While the attendance for the first two days was somewhat dis appointing, still the crowd for educational day and the last day was very satisfactory. There was no speaker for the opening day. J. L. McLaurin of Bennettsvllle delivered the principal address on agricultural day. Mr. McLaurin is a forceful speaker and dwelt at length on the cotton situa tion. Mr. McLaurin advanced the idea that the rice industry in lower South Carolina should do protectee and built up to its former magnitude The speaker for the second day was Dr. S. C. Mitchell, president of the University of South Carolina, his theme being "Community Life." Dr. Mitchells' address was very helpful as well as eloquent. He urged the importance of building up the community in order that the people living in any section of the state might enjoy advantages such as are enjoyed by those living in towns or cities, wherr the community life is very highly de veloped. Dr. Mitchell discussed af 1 some length rural credit ideas, which are working doing much for education now. The address on the last day was by Richard Carroll, of Colum bia, and was considered by a large crowd of both white persons and ne groe8 to be one of the best speeches ever delivered in Walterboro. This was his first visit to Walterboro and a large number of people were piesen to hear him. He urged the people o' both laces to live together in har rnony with each other, stating that the keynote of successful settlement of race problems lies in serving each Other. A large crowd of blue ribbonr wero won by people of the county and every one seem satisfleld with the management of the fair. South Carolina Now Enterprises. The secretary or state nas lssuea a charter to the Farmers' and Merchants' bank of Holly Hill with r capital stock of $15,000. The officers are: S. J. McCoy, president and treas urer; L. A. Carson, viee president and W. A. Jeffers, secretary. A charter has been Issued to the Hornr Builders' Supply Company of Camden with a capital stock of $5,000. The officers are: F. E. Brooks, president and treasurer; Jas DeLoache, vice president, and C. W. Burr, secretary Florence County Corn Show. The corn show closed and the prize lists are being prepared. It Is said by many who have seen such shows in all parts of the country that this show In Florence would compare te vorably with the very best anywhere and was far and away ahead of the average county fair. There Is no doub< about its being a permanent institution in this county. The mulo show which was an especial feature of the show, was one of the best displays o country raised stock that has evei been given in the state. There were 50 county raised muleB and mule ; colts in the competition, and they would compare favorably tflth any mules brought here from Kentucky, and the owners say they get better returns from their work than they do from the Western raised stock. Nothing Definite F.'om Election. Except for the fact that this county showed Itself averse to voting for bond issues and constitutional amendments. nothing definite has been given out as to the vote at the election. It has been pretty definitely learned that the proposition to issue bonds for the asylum did not meet with favor on the part of the majority, and the proposition to give 520,000 additional to aid in the construction of a court house and Jail was decidedly declined by the electors. This means that Calhoun will have to proceed to solve the problem of public buildings with the $20,000 already in hand, contributed by the town of St. Matthews. Executive Clemency For One. The governor has granted a parole to RufuB Moseley who was convicted at Kershaw in July of this year on the charge of breach of peace and sentenced to pay a fine of $60 or serve three mouths. Work of Committee Soon Completed. J. J Evans, secretary of the committee of the general assembly which was appointed to investigate the charges by the governor in a specia' message with reference to the statdispensary, who was among the visi tors in Columbia recently said tha the work of the committee would b completed at an early date. Secretan Evans said that before completing thf work that the committee desired tc give the public opportunity to girt r.nv further information and their lists of investigation. The Baptist State Convention. Abbeville Baptists and the town generally are making preparations for the entertainment of the Baptist state 1 convention, which meets here in lest ; than a month, is expected that there will be between 350 and 400 deiegater present. But the homes of the town are being thrown open to them. The Baptist church in Abbeville has made great strides in the last two years and has become one of the foremosi congregations. The new house ot worship would be a credit to a plact much larger than Abbeville. Feature of National Corn Show. The longest painting ever execute in the United States or abroad, accorc ing to authentic statements, will for. a striking feature of the decoration i for the educational building at th , Fifth National Corn exposition her next January. The canvas for tbit immense painting will be nearly : sixth of a mile in length by nine fee' wide. It will extend entirely around the big steel building which will hous , the exhibits from the department u ; agriculture and the 80 or more /:ate which will enter the exposition. * \ 4 FOF DJlClVEMj: ENDS SESSION AT CLEMSON COLLEGE.?HAVE BRILLIANT RECEPTION. i 1 ^ v MANY ATTENDED MEETING 8 . j c There Was Much Business Attended c to by the Daughters of the American t ) Revolution.?The Election of Offit . cert and Other Work. t , k I Clemton College.?The state con* v mention of the D. A. R. came to a close with a brilliant reception given by the .ocal chapter, Andrew Pickens, in the ? gymnasium, in honor of the delegates md officers composing the convention. The gymnasium was decorated in patriotic colors, consisting largely of t national and state Sags with an abun- | ! Jance of pot plants and cut dowers. One of the noteworthy achievements pf the last session of the convention e was the pledging of $600 for the WIN 1 lard school near Landrum. The mon- 1 ey will likely be used in employing a 0 mountain boy who recently graduated 1 i from Clemson and who feels that he r has a mission to perform for his people, to teach better methods of agri- 1 culture in that Bectlon. Important regular business trans- * acted was the election of several offl- 1 : cers, chief of which were the follow- 1 ' ing: Mrs. Howard B. Carlisle of Spar- 1 j tanburg, second vice regent, re-elect- 1 1 ed; Mrs. F. H. H. Calhoun of Clemson 1 College, third vice regent, re-elected; < Miss Xenia Evans of Cheraw, assist- < ant historian, and Mrs. S. C. Baker ? | of Greenwood, auditor. , 1 I The convention expressed their ap- < : preciation or too many countries i j shown them by the college and the ! ' community, in highly complimentary ' ; resolutions, as well as by word of nwuth In social Intercourse. To say '; that the coming of these represen- i tative women of South Carolina has , been of great value to Clemson Col* ( lege, and that their presence has been a source of great happiness to the citizens of the community, is but giving the frequently expressed opinion . of the people. Considerable Interest Shown, Bennettsville.?Considerable inter* . est is shown in Bennettsville and other points in this county in regard to a successor to the office made vacant by the death of the late Senator John B. Green. In addition to the name of John L. McLaurln, several others have been mentioned, and indications are that a Democratic primary will be ' necessary unless by agreement all candidates can enter the general election. The Idea of x convention to nominate, as was done when Judge Hudson filled out the unexpired term of Col. C. S. McCall, is meeting with some objections and the opponents are arguing that it Is a bad precedent to follow. Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Lexington.?The second session of the ninety-second annual convention of the Evangelical Lutheran Tennessee Svnod.embracing the three states of Virginia. North Carolina and South Carolina, meld at St. Jacob's church, was a most interesting one. At 11 rC/*inrV- n Rtrnne and impressive ser mon was preached by the Rev. M. A. Ashby, who used for bis theme, "The Spiritual Priesthood of Believers." At the afternoon session two subjects were discussed by the speak erB. The first, '"What the( Church Owes to Itself," was ably set forth by the Rev. TV. A. Dpaton, D. D? of North Carolina; the second, "What the Church Owes to the World Around it," by the Rev. J. H. Wannamaker. Cropping Out For Federal Offices. Charleston.?Candidates are report' ed to be cropping out for federal offices in South Carolina, for appoint ments under the administration of President Wilson, although the Incumbents generally have some time yet to serve out the usually allotted term of four years, and It is not generally thought that President Wilson will be very precipitate in filling offices, immediately following his inauguration.

I The new Illinois Legislature will be , made up on olnt ballot of 97 Democrats, 78 Republicans, 26 Progressives and 3 Socialists. These figures are based upon complete returns from the entire State. The House will have ( 73 Democrats, 53 Republicans, 24 Progressives and 3 Socialists; the Senate, 25 Republicans, 24 Democrats and 2 Progressives.

Practically every * i Democratic Senator and Representai tive now here agTees that an extra t session of Congress is inevitable, and ? that it will be called shortly after , Woodrow Wilson takes the Presiden. tial oath. They are convinced that for . the Democratic party, now that it is in ) power, to delay even for a few months , the work of revising the tariff would , be a very bad start. would call for an Increased total by 25,000. Instead, the total vote cast was less. In 1908 the Republicans and Democrats cast 447,80 votes. This year the combined vote of the Democrats, Republicans and t rogressives is 398,000 in round figures. That enormous loss was divided by the Taft and Roosevelt vote, which, if combined, shows a greater slump than the Democratic. The Democrats have elected the Presidential electors and all the State officers in Delaware with the exception of Monaghan, for Governor. They also definitely control the Legislature that will elect a United States Senator to succeed Senator Richardson. Everett, Wash., fourth largest city in the State, adopted the Henry George single-tax. This is the first city in the United States to do so. All public revenues will be raised by land taxes solely and unimproved land will pay higher taxes than property that has been improved. Illinois, the great State which the Progressives all along felt surest of carrying, swung over to Wilson. The Republicans got a crumb of comfort from Massachusetts, where the counting of the ballots for minor State officers showed that, although the Democrats had elected the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and Secrei VDTF FOR PRESIDENT.

Republican candidates for State Treasurer, Auditor, and Attorney General had been saved from the wreckage by pluralities of 2,000 to 5,000. The Legislature Is Republican also, so that the expectation of a Democratic gain in the filling of W. Murray Crane's seat will not be realized. In Wisconsin, which was carried by Wilson for President, Gov. McGovern, Republican candidate for Governor, was re-elected. He was the Roosevelt candidate for Chairman of the Republican National Convention and supported the Colonel in the campaign, thereby incurring the displeasureof Senator La Follette, who, however, advocated his election. Returns confirmed Wilson's victory in West Virginia, although the Legis-1 lature is Republican. In Iowa the j Democratic candidate's plurality reached 20,000. , New Hampshire shows a Republican majority in the Legislature of sixteen, and that body will elect the Govnwnnn o a u-nll q a q ^tiTiQfnr nnnn r if iti HVJl , t*0 ncu h0 u ijvuuivi , mviiv. t/i the candidates having received a majority at the polls.

HAWAII GOES REPUBLICAN. Prince Kuhio Sent to Congress by 1,263 Majority Over Democrat. Honolulu.?Prince Kuhio was elected delegate to Congress over L. L. McCandless, Democrat, by a majority of 1,263. McCandless is now reported to be a candidate for appointment as Governor of the territory when Governor Prear resigns. G. J. Walter, who was a delegate to the Baltimore convention, was also a candidate for the governorship. The territorial Legislature will be made up of nine Republicans and six Democratic Senators and eighteen Republican and twelve Democratic Representatives. ASK ROOSEVELT TO QUIT. Ex-Senator Blair Wants Him to Support Anti-Third Term Movement. Washington.?Ex-United States Senator Henry W. Blair, of New Hampshire, made public a letter written by himself, as president of the Anti-Third Term League, to Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. The letter requests Colonel Roosevelt to "solemnly renounce" his future candidacy for the Presidency and to give his "powerful support" to the Anti-Third Term League. * $1 25 PKR Yi-.AK iiiiivrir J CONGRESS MAJORITY ' Next House Will Consist of 297 Democrats, 122 Republicans and 16 Progressives ciiminaticn OF CANNON k. UIIIMIf.. Washington?The practically complete returns of the general Coagressional elections show that the political classification of the next Housa of Representatives will be: Demo crats, 297; Republicans, 122; Pro gresBives, 16. This gives the Democrats a majority of 159 over Republicans and Progressives combined, and a plurality over the Republicans of 175. During the Congrees session which ended in August the Democrats had a majority of 66 over the Republicans. Many notable changes in the personnel of the House of Representatives will result from Tuesday's Congressional landslide. The most conspicuous figure that will disappear from public life in consequence of the great Democratic victory 1b ex-Speaker Joseph G. Cannon, familiarly known as "Uncle Joe," who has been defeated for re election from the Eighteenth District of Illinois by F. J. O'Hair. Until last evening the result in Mr. Cannon's district was in doubt, but the completed count shows that Mr. Cannon has lost by a narrow majority. This is Mr. Cannon's second defeat for Congress. He was out of the House of Representatives for one term, having been defeated for election in 1890. He was even then a veteran member of the House. Since 1809 "TTnHe Joe" has been sent back regularly to Washington, and for many years was the dominating figure in the lower branch of Congress. James R. Mann, the Republican floor leader in the House, has been re-elect? ^ ed from the Chicago district which ho has represented for many terms. But other Republican House leaders from Illinois shared the fate of Mr. Cannon. Representative William B. McKinley, Chairman of the Republican Congreesional Campaign Committee and Prosi* * dent Taft's manager in the pre convtntion campaign for the Republican Presidential nomination, shared the fate of many of his Republican associates in the House. Another Republican House leader from Illinois who suffered defeat is Representative William J. Roddenberg, one of ex-Speaker Cannon's lieutenants. Still another prominent House Republican to be buried under the Democratic victory is J. H, Davidson of the Sixth Wisconsin District. He has been a conspicuous member ofthe House for many years, but has shown decided Progressive leanings ; for several terms. The Democrats made a clean sweep of the Indiana Congressional districts and retired the veteran Crurapacker, 1 who had been foremost in the Repub| lican ranks in the House. Ropreeenta?. tive Edwin Ebenezer Hill of Connecticut suffered defeat also. His State, like Indiana, is sending a solid Democratic1 delegation to Congress, which politically is a remarkable overturn in a State that is strongly devoted to the protection policy. Representative Sereno E. Payne,, who was floor leader of the Republicans in the House during Mr. Cannon's incumbency of the Speakership, was returned from New York. Jo- f soph W. Fordney, another of Mr. Can- ^ non's lieutenants and firm friends, was elected from the Michigan district that has sent him back to Congress time and again. Representative Nicholas Longworth, son-in-law of Col. Roosevelt, did not escape defeat in the First Ohio District, which is located in the City of Cincinnati. \fr Long worth ran as a regular nepuonran. and his strength in the dietrict was weakened by the fact that he was opposed by a candidate of his father-Jolaw's new third party. Another conspicuous member of the House who was rejected by the voters of his district is Representative Cyru3 Sulloway of New Hampshire. Sulloway is a.giant in size and always attracted much attention from the galleries when the House was in session. The defeat of the two Republican candidates for Congress from his State was one of the great surprisea of the the election. >oocoo<xx>c<x>c<)ooooooooocx>o I HONEST BUSINESS MEN g NEED HAVE NO FEAR. 8 Woodroo* Wilson, President- Ci elect, issued this statement: (<(' There is absolutely nothing iji fcr the honest and enlightened ('| business men of the country to V fear.
