The tirM fight came over the major

Mr. (iraydon, of Abbeville, said: "If
you want to kill the warehouse put It
in the primary and you will kill It so
effectlveley that even Mr. McLaurln,
with all his plausibility, won't he able
to resurrwvt It." Me vigorously as
sailed the resolution and belittled the
warehouse system.
, Senator Hanks, of Calhoun, said the
warehouse was worthy of everyone's
support and reviewed it and the' In
surance on cotton.
"If Mr. McLaurln wants to tackle
Andrew Jackson Hot bene lei him do
so." said 1 ?. S. Henderson. "We have
not forgotten' that the man who wanted
to put this system In fsdltlcs in lJMKJ
wanted t ? ? introduce commercial De

Hot forget the wa mini: voice of this
chief."
Th" "previous quest ion" was onlerod

after nearly two hours of sjx?ech-mnk

ry overwhelmingly killed.
The committee reports! at midnight
through ex-Governor Ansel.
The llrst part of the report com
.mends and endorses the national De
mocracy, and especially President Wll
nou and national preparedness.
i ?n State matters the platform says:
'Fully conscious of the fact that law

From Other Papers.
The trouble with most young men
Is that they do not understand the
dignity of manual labor. They do not
realize that honors and fortune may
I e more readily gained outalde of the
so called learned professions than in
them ; and that It Is Just as honorable
to swing a hammer or to bold a plow
as It is to make a sj>eech In court or
to amputate a limb. The lesson young
men should l>o taught as early as pos
sible is that It Is not so much what
a man does for a living as how he
does it, and that manual labor Is as
honorable as any other.? -.Hook Hill

A Stroke of Advertising.
Three pages of display advertising
In 'Hie Saturday Evening Post, tolling
why Theodore Roosevelt's friends be
lieve he should he elected President,
mark a distinctly new stride In the
domain of advertising. Mr. Roosevelt
has long Ik'oii known as the world's
most efficient sjwiv-getter. Even his
Detroit rival Is com pell e<l to admit
tluit for consistent every-day-ln-the
voar front page 'publicity, Theodore
has his number. Hut it is a singular
fact that whereas, on the fact of the
??use. a "straight article" would appear
to appeal mor,e i*>werfully to the puh
lic than display advertising there ar?'
many cases lu which this Is not true.
Especially Is this true if the free
publicity is overworked. Then the
public becomes suspicious and thinks
that anything which requires such la
borious effort to stir up Interest must
U* lacking iu merit, and it backs away,
whereas a formal display advertise
ment would have riveted attention.
This Important psychological business
fact is known to Mr. Roosevelt's
friettds. and they are making use of
the knowledge in a s|>eftacular man
ner. One reason the method Is effect
ive is iM'cause it is disingenlous. Then
is no firing from under cover, no at
tempt to mask what is being done. It
is a eleareut light in the o|hmi. Hence
its telling power. ? Charlotte Observer.
