JACKSON TO RUN AGAIN For Governor of South Carolina Four Year* From No*. , I'' ' CBy Job. K. Aull) umbla, Sopt. 27^-4tThe king is (load, long Hvs the king/1 is oven more apt an expression to apply to South Carolina politic* than to a royal succession, for there i* no waiting here for the end of a political campaign before beginning a new one. Over in England and France they do wait for the final gasping breath to leave the body of the king. Not so with politics as the game bate is played. The governor-nominate has not yet been elected. The general election has not yet been held. It is more than a month off. And it will be iffur years until another governor is to be elected But a new gubernatorial campaign is already on, and has been on since the first primary. In his card of thanks to the people of the state for the vote which he received, Lieutenant-Governor E. B. Jackson took occasion to announce hi* candidacy for four years hence. He has not yet given his platform - in detail. Four years is a long way off, and there is no telling what might happen in that time. The bootleggers might decide to make voluntary contributions to the state treasury, and the manner of raising them, would not be an issue. Purchasers of boot>leg liquor might face about and henceforward turn over to the state the money they have been paying tp bootleggers^ Then and' in that event the state -treasury would be so overflowing that some of it would have to be expended in the erection of vaults?for probably the banks would not be able to care for, it.- Almost any old thing might happen in four years. New issues may present themselves, and probably will. The "new independcncCv might be one of them. Whether it is best to wear or not to wear two-dollar cotton breeches, both in the interest of economy and to boost the price of cotton, might be another. Even the state tax commis! si on might be relegated to the rear and no longer be exercising its mighty powers. In fact, the millenium might come before that time. So, over at \Vagener, in his bank, -with his broad acres spreading out before him?for Lieutenant-Governor Jackson is a farmer and a banker, and a good one at both, they say?Mr. Jackson, pondering over these things, possibly, may have thought it just as well before announcing a kletailed platform, to wait and see just what the next four years might bring fort h. Solicitor J. Lyles Glenn, Jr., of Chester, has also thrown his hat into the ring, with an announcement of his candidacy for governor four years ffpm now. And he also does not announce a definite platform of issues. It is a far horizon towaixl which he looks?just as far as that toward which the gaze of the lieutenant-governor is directed?far in space of time. But "distance lends enchantment to the view"?sometimes ?-.and for these two gentlemen who have announced, and for others who .1 y.-t in t ie ofting, that four-year,ff political horizon no doubt is a sea v>T liquid gold with summer ejouds of purple and orange and pink floating above, it, and whose shores are strung With gardens of roses?just as seems the eastern sky as one stanch? in Wflthalla and looks toward the rising sun as it sends, its first rays above SixMile Mountain. Mr. Glenn was appointed solicitor "I his circuit upon the election of Solicitor Henry to theX>eneh, and was elected to the position to succeed himself two years ago. He was a captain in the World war. There are others who already have the gubernatorial race "under advisement." It is pointed out that if two years can bring forth nine candidates, that four years might bring forth eighteen. Anyway, the start is already made. South Carolina now has a woman mayor. She is Mrs. J. M. Garret, who was chosen mayor of West Pelzer, in Anderson County, defeating W. L. Howe by a majority of four votes- -which is a pretty considerable majorit\ when it is taken into consideration that the vote was 27 to 2". Mrs. Garret is a mother, and has lived in Pelzer all her life. She is the first woman mayor in South Carolina. There are several women, huw\or. in county offices.

"Canada and the United Statea are joining hand* thia month in a united drive against one of childhood's moat deadly enemies, diphtheria. Tariffs and customs may be the G4U(se of differences of opinion among politicians, but the health'officers of the two countries recognise no boundary wail. Diphtheria ih just as ruthless whether Uncle Sam's children are concerned or those of his northern neighbor. The greater portion of the North American continent is proceeding this fall under a common understating to smoke out ignorance with respect to diphtheria. The incentive for this drive came from the Deputy Minister of Health of Saskatchewan, Dr. Maurice Macdonak) Seymour, who was also the president of the state and provincial health authorities of North America. Appreciating the value of team work on the part of the two countries, Dr. StfyWur proposed at the recent annual conference that concentrated effort be directed against diphtheria during September and October, smallpox during November and December and typhoid fever during January and February. What is now knowntaa the Seymour plan is already well under way in widely separated, portions of the continent. "Diphtheria cap easily be controlled," said Dr. Seymour, "if we only make use of the means which science has placed within our reach. The support of the public will make it possible to stamp out a disease that still continues ?o take a terrible toll of life among children." Dr. Seymour states that- 150,000 cases with 13,000 deaths resulted from diphtheria in North America during 1924. Sixty of these deaths were in South Carolina- of South Carolina children. By the use of diphtheria antitoxin, furnished free by the state board of health, the death rate has been reduced from 40 to 6. Thia rate is still too high. It is possible to wipe out this disease almost entirely. The treatment which has proven so effective in the anti-diphtheria campaign is the administration of toxinanttoxin to young children, especially during the ^irst of second year. The present experience indicates that life long protection against the disease cun be coreferred on about 95 per eeni of the children treated. Health officers in many cities- including New Haven, Conn., New York CHy, and Auburn, N. Y* who began this treatment as early as 1922 are reporting marked reductions the prevalence of the disease and in many instances the complete elimination of fatal ' cases. | Mrs. R. C. Murray is held in jail at Columbus, Ga., charged with having caused the death of her husband by scalding him to death while he lay in bed with his 13-year old son. The boy is in a serious condition. The husband died on Saturday, a week after the alleged scalding. stay the execution, is the opinion written by former Associate Justice J. Hardin Marion, who was a member of the court when the case was heard, which in effect places the question of commutation of sentence in the caso of the .younger Pittman squarely beforu the governor. The supreme court passes upon the law, and it has acted within its province. Rare is it that a justice of the court thus expresses an opinion, of the severity of the sentence which the law, under the jury's verdict, has imposed. Judge Marion is an able jurist, and his opinions, both judicial and otherwise, are always received with respect and attention. The course of the Pittmqn case will be watched with interest. In addition to the petitions for cfemency which will be sent down from Grenville, other legal steps will probably be sought to be taken. With regard to the younger Pittman, Justice Marion, in concluding his able opinion, ( says "the writer deems it not improper to say (as to the defendant Holland j Pittman, the son! that the record perj haps affords some ground for the view I that the ends of justice might be attained by the infliction of a less severe punishment than the death penalty. But that is a question for the consideration of another department of gov-1 ernment. ( ertamly, this record fur| nishes no substantial basis, in the j j writer's ..pinion, for a conclusion that! , ,1a judgment of :h? trial c"iirt was in 1 -iv.\ wise influenced by any error of1 j -r.v which, in the discharge of the sole ' , . u.'.i .ion ci.mm.ttod to ;t by the constii n. : a the duty of this court to j jcrrort by "ir granting of a new trial.) I Such a finely worded pronounce- i I ment keeps the idea in mind of the j separation of the three departments; of government, and yet U a suggestion which is splendid and timely, coming from the high source it does come from, based upon the facts in the case. < ONCRETE FENCE POETS o Easy To Make, Coot LUtle, mad Loot Two Huaired Years - \ Clemson College, Sept. 27.-?"Why not replace the rotten fen& posts this winter with concrete poets that wili cost little, require little -work, and will 'stay put' for two or five centuries?" This is the query of J. E. Hooker, extension agricultural engineer here. "Ordinary sapwood posts rot in about five years?or twenty years, if creospted?but - concrete posts - need not be removed within several life-times." The farmer, who uses his rainy days this winter to mix a little cement aud a little sand into posts, adds an improvement that will be visited upon his descendants unto the sixth and, yea, unto the fifteenth generation. And they shall rise up to bless him for his foresight. But only a few years will lapse before he witnesses the profit of such a permanent farm improvement. "Concrete posts are straight and easily lined," explains Mr. Hooker, in discussing their fine points. "They are uniform in appearance and are attractive. The weeds may be burned around them without injury. With posts of that kind most of the fence repairs will be stopped." A concrete post, seven feet long, three by four inches at the top and four by five inches at thp bottom,} contains seventy-seven hundredths of a cubic foot of materials and weighs around 110 pounds. The recommended formulas for reinforced concrete posts are 1:3 and 1:2:3. One and sixty-five hundredths sacks of cement and four and ninety-five hundredths cubic feet of sand will make six posts of the 1:3 formula. One and nineteen hundredths bags of cement, two and thirty-eight hundredths cubic feet of sand, and three and fifty-seven hundredths cubic feet of pebbles will make half a dozen of the 1:2:3 posts. Mr. Hooker . suggests that four round bars, three-sixteenths of an inch in diameter, be used. Concrete posts can be made during spare time on the farm. They fit well into the program for permanent farm improvements, and are a good investment for a little money and time, he declares. Among surnames in England the commonest are Smith, Jones, Brown, Taylor, Davies, Wilson, Walker aud Morris. r Acquaintance Tour Po?tp?ne4. Columbia, Pap*. 23.?'Tha South Carolina Acquaintance Tour haa boon poatponod until next year, possibly May or June. It was scheduled to tako place October 4-18. Decision waa reached to defer the trip at a meeting of the central committee and othera in teres tod in the tour held yeaterday at noon in the office of Governor McLeod. The postponement of the Southern Exposition in New York city until December and the fact that October is one of the busiest months in the year in South Carolina, prompted those sponsoring the trip to delay the journey. After a number of the men representing different parts of the state had urged that the tour be postponed until spring, no definite action was taken to raise the quorum needed to complete arrangements for the party to leave next month. In faet, it was the unanimous opinion of all preent that the journey should be postponed until next spring, even if the quorum was secured. Jack Kearna, a former manager of Jack- Dempsey, sued out an attach-: ment on Dempsey's share of the prize fight money for the fight pulled off in Philadelphia last Wednesday eveping,' on a claim that Dempsey owed him, Kearns, money. To secure Kearns the money that he alleges Dempsey owes him, the fighter's assets were placed under a 8600,000 bond. The. matter will be decided by the courts later. Kearns, it is reported, bet $160,000 that Dempsey would wip the fight 0 TRESPASS NOTICE. All persons are hereby warned not to trespass upon the J. B.
