Written Specially for The Chronicle' By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, John C. Calhoun^ John Quincy Adams and Glass Factory To Make Repairs Laurens Plant Closes For Installation Of Highly Modern Blow ing Apparatus. Laurens, August 8.—The Laurens Glass Works plant is undergoing many improvements while the em ployees are taking their annual vaca tion. For about six weeks in Hie middle of the summer the factory is closed. This vacation period will be a busy one for the management as TWICE-TOLD TESTIMONY William H. .Crawford, men whose __ names are on the tongue tip of every | is^to ’be “ove‘rhauT^d‘’and American schoolboy formed the qum-1 t ^ e ma i n cement floor lowered sev- tette that one hundred years ago era j inches. The most important im- started in the race for the Presidency of the United States, a fight which ended in four of the five going to the people with the result that the elect ion was thrown into the House of Representatives, the result many per sons fear will ensue from the coming voting in November. It is a significant fact that the century has rounded out only to put the country face to face with a poli tical situation analogous in many ways with that of 1824—just one hun dred years ago. The only fundamen- provement, however, will be the in stallation of two automatic bottling machines and two flows to match the new machines. These bottling machines weigh 6,500 pounds each and it is claimed that they do the work of several blowers, thus reducing the number of employees and at the same time get ting a better product. Only two other glass factories in the country have installed the new automatic bottle blower. The capacity of each mach ine is 600 to 700 bottles every eight tal difference is that one hundred h 0U rs. The Laurens plant is operated on the three shifta a day schedule and the fires in the furnace never go out yean ago all the candidates pretend ed at least to be of one political faith. U?! C nTtf.tb^nqing..p?ric^f^about the-State vf N c w Tofr, theirhow,^ ten anc | one7h a if months m the year. The Laurens glass factory is the only plant of its kind in the South east. R. R. Finkbeiner is superin tendent of the factory. The enter prise is owned by local citizens. and the territory about which ner vousness was felt was that of the Middle West. Also one of the' candi dates was from New England. Each of the candidates had a re markable record of public service, the life of each being filled with achieve ment which made the contest one of dramatic interest—perhaps the bit terest fight in the history of the na tion. Crawford a Great Man The man whose name is least known today entered the list with the advantage over all the others—Wil liam H. Crawford. Maligned, and brought down to the present genera tion as a political trickster, Crawford stood in life as a man of great in tegrity and of more than usual abil ity. Crucified on the cross of unscru pulous politics, the victim of outrage ous slanders at the hands of Adams, Crawford is seen today in a light so false that it will take generations to place him where he properly belongs. He was one of the foremost con structive thinkers when he served in the United States Senate. He made a profound impression on the think ing interests of the country as Sec retary of the Treasury in the cabinet of Monroe. As a diplomat in France he displayed unusual acumen and tact. Indeed, he was so beloved in the country in 1816 that he could have been elected over Monroe had he cared to express even the thought of such a thing. Devoid of political in trigue, however, he set the suggest ion firmly aside only to be blackened in character by his political enemies. Hie Other Candidates Then there was Adams, who had distinguished himself in lands, in the Senate and as Secretary of State—the man of courage, con viction and dominating personality. And Andrew Jackson, popular hero following, his great victory at New Orleans. They were powerful con tenders. Henry Clay, then speaker of the House, magnetic, popular, dig nified, broad-minded, a master at political manipulation with a host of youth behind him because of his ef fort to lead the nation to war with England. The record of John C. Cal houn made him also a dangerous con tender. Secretary of War in the cabi net with Adams and Crawford he had proved himself a statesman of out standing ability. No Election Such was the calibre of those who entered the race. They were with out party. Politics was reduced to personality. In the House, if Adams fought for an appropriation for the State Department, Crawford and Cal houn would lead their followers against the proposition. If Calhoun asked for^ an appropriation, Adams and Crawford would strangle it. When Crawford wanted to put his hand in the till, Calhoun and Adams were pitted against him to the death. The fight for the presidency pro ceeded, filled with intrigue, slander and dramatic episode. The story of slander and political back-biting is too long to be told here. It require* another chapter. It shows the inter vention of Providence -and is well worth re-telling. Kiwanis Clubs To Work For Vote Vigorous Campaign To Get All Vot era Out In November Elections. A vigorous campaign to get all vot ers to vote in the fall elections is being planned by all the Kiwanis clubs of the country, in accordance with policies which have been adopt ed by Kiwanis International at a meeting just concluded here. In 1896, 80 per cent of all those eligible voted in the presidential elec tions; in 1900, 73 per cent voted; in 1908 the percentage decreased to 66 per cent; in 1912 there was a further decrease to 62 pr cent; and in 1920 less than 50 per cent of the Voters exercised their franchise. “This campaign,” said Victor M. Johnson, newly elected president of Kiwanis International, “will be to urge all citizens to express the de sires of the entire people, and not less than half of them. A continua tion of the present low voting per centage would certainly lead to the impracticabilities and (finger of a radical minority. The work of the clubs will be part of our general cam paign to promote an intelligent, ag gressive and serviceable citizenship. ‘There is no partisanship in this campaign, and no fund is being raised f roionl* 0 carr y i* on - Members of each of _!! Pthe 1250 Kiwanis clubs will work in their communities, purely on a basis of developing this much needed citi zenship.” Clinton People Are Doing All They Can for Fellow Sufferers. Clinton testimony has been pub lished to pro/e the merit of Doan’s Pills to others in Clinton who suffer from bad backs and kidney ills. Lest any sufferer doubt this evidence of merit, we produce confirmed proof —statements from Clinton people who again endorse Doan’s Pills—confirm their former testimony. Here’s a Clinton case: Mrs. Joe Chandler, 61 Florida St., says: “The first symptom I had of kidney trouble was backache. When I swept, sharp pains shot down from the small of my back and fairly drove me wild. I was nervous and had pains in the back of my head. My kidneys didn’t act right at all. I also had dizzy spells and would near ly fall. I heard about Doan’s Pills and got a box. The first gave me relief and two boxes cured me.” (Statement given November 19, 1914). On January 21, 1922, Mrs. Chand ler said: “Time has not changed my opinion of Doan’s. They cured me of an attack of kidney trouble and 1 have not been bothered * since. I gladly confirm all I said before.” 60c., at all dealers. Foster-Milhurn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. , noon on the 9th day of August, 1924. The said W. D.
