MHJMrHON TICKET DEFEATED
New Nominees i'rumiiH! To Moke
Chicago Safe Place To Live
William Haile Thompson, mayor of
| Chicago, and hia whole ticket, were
set down with a bang in the Republican
nominating primary in Chicago
and the state of Illinois on Tuesday.
The result of the election, on which
the ticket sponsored and backed by
U. S. Senator Dent-en, was the victor,
was a big surprise not only to Thompson
and the ticket he was backing,
but to the state of Illinois and the nation
as well. Up to the morning of
tne election it^was generally believed
that the Thompson ticket in the city
and state would have a sweeping
victory, but the silent and unorganized
vqte, men and women, went to the
polls and voiced their disapproval of
the lawless element of the wide-open
town that was believed to have the
backing of Thompson as mayor, Robert
E. Crowe, state's attorney, Frank
L. Smith, candidate for United States
senate, t\yice turned back and refused
a seat by the senate, and Len Small,
candidate for a third term as governor.
The vote was overwhelming and
the Thompson ticket was rolled out
I flatter than a pancake, while the
i ticket backed by Deneen received the
Republican nominations by a veritable
tidal wave of ballots. Thompsoa
.was not a candidate and neither was
Deneen. The new nominees are
promising that if elected in November
they will clean Chicago up andmake
it a safe place to live. Incidentally
the state gave Lowden 38 of
its 50 delegates to the Kansas City
presidential nominating convention.
Mrs. Ruth Hanna MoCormick, daughter
of the late Mark Hanna, on present
returns, appears to have gotten
the nomination for congressman at
large over, Richard Yates. The election
in Chicago was characterized
throughout the day by the wildest
kind of thuggery, kidnapings, etc.
A bomb explosion on the stairway
of a 17-story building in New York on
Saturday, wrecked three top floors
and threw the occupants of the building
into a panic. Five girls and three
men were more or less .injured.
j Charles Evans Hughes has declined
to be the keynoter at the Kansas City
| Republican convention and its temporary
chairman. He is going to
Europe.
Dr. Frank Crane Says
The Battle of The Bugs
In a pamphlet called The Forest
Primer, issued by the American Treo
Association, are some interesting
statistics about one of man's greatest
enemies.
It appears that there are some two
hundred thousand kinds of tre^-attacking
insects and that these little
I insects cause far greater losses to
forests than do fires.
If unhindered these insects would
: destroy thousands of acres of valuable
forests a year.
. In one section of Oregon these
pests have destroyed enough trees to
build eight thousand homes at $10,000
each.
Birds are one of the best preventives
of insects. In a way they are
our best friends. Some insects prey
upon others, thus protecting the Trees.
But man must be constantly vigilant.
He must fight the pine beetles,
(borers, timber worms. Bark beetles
attack the trees of the Adiron^acks.
The larch is the victim of the sawfly
worm. The pine beetle is well at
the top-of the list of insect enemies.
In addition to this trees have diseases,
although their powers of resistance
to disease ^are greater than
their resistance to insects.
Dr. L. O. Howard says that if man
does not succeed in combating insects
they will destroy man.
One of the greatest insect enemies
is the termite or white ant. It penetrates
the wood of floors, walls and
foundations. Hence we 4 must not
only fight to save the lumber, but to
save the buildings.
L - There must 'be no let-up in the
} fight against insects.
i W^must either pay out more money
| increasing prices for' lumber, and in
the end see the forests disappear.
Much has been done in forestry in
the last five decades, but much remains
to be done, and the care of the
trees should be taught in every public
school.
Who can fully describe the benefits
- of the tree ? It is not only a thing
of beauty that enhances the landscape,
but it is useful. We get from
it the material for our houses, for
many of our utensils, and for many
other useful thing*.
Charles Lathrop Pack, who has devoted
his life to the trees, and spent
nraofi money at this work, deserves
great credit.
I?Every town ought to have & municipal
forest in its environments and
ought to do something for the trees

THK GOVERNOR'S RUQ
Costly Footplece Now Decorates
Floor of Executive Office
Folks who follow affairs of stale
will be interested to learn the details
of the purchase out of the contingent
fund of last year of an expensive rug
for the governor's office, as now set
forth by The Abbeville Press and
Banner, whose editor, Senator Fred
D. West, was a member of the freecon
!efence committee of the state appropriation
bill this lust session.
The Abbeville senator-editor is
criticizing Governor Richards for his
veto of u $1,000 item for the SpanishAmerican
war veterans reunion.
"Under the present method of financing
the various departments," ho
says, "so long as the governor and
one tfiird of the house of representatives
take unto themselves the great
problems of running South Carulina,
ft might be just as well to appropriate
the total amount as a 'contingent
fund' and permit the chief executive
to pay all salaries of state." But
further:
"We are not so sure, however, that
such disposition of the affairs of state
would be wise. We hear much of
economy in this day and time. The
governor is an economist. He vetoes
the item of $1,000 for these soldiers
and buys $1,165 rugs for his office.
And the state of South Carolina buys
that rug on the installment plan.
The contingent fund committee pa'd
$900 of the total cost from the fund
last year, leaving $265 to be paid this
year. And still we speak of economy.
It's indeed a virtue, but the shoe!
I doesn't fit."
I We suppose it must have become an
emergency of the state during the
year 1927 that a new rug be put down
in the chief executive's office. Ordinarily
the legislature appropriates
specifically for furnishings and fixtures
of various state offices, and we
presume it wasn't foreseen during
the 1927 session that a new rug
would be needed. It may well be
that the governor received so many
callers during his first year in office
that they completely wore out the old
rug and made it necessary to replace
it right away. We don't know, of
1 course.
But now that it has become general
public knowledge that the floor of
the governor's office is decorated with
a $1,000 rug, no step should overlooked
to see that it is properly cared
for. There are lots of South Carolina
folks who have never seen a $1,000
rug, let alone walked on one, and His
Excellency is liable to have to entertain
hordes of folks, w?ho will want to
say they have seen and stepped on
I that famous bit of floor covering.
We think another couple of hundred
or so should be spent immediately for
a vacuum cleaner or whatever other
instrument is best suited for keeping
$1,000 rugs in the pink of condition.?

Map of Proposed New County
Mr. J. iW. Wingow, of Lexington,
S. C., was in The News office last
[week and showed a map of the proposed
Catawba county, having Great
Palls as the county seat. According
to the map it is proposed to take 92
square miles from Chester county;
205 miles from Fairfield county;
173 miles from Kershaw county; lc
miles from Lancaster county. The
i proposed new county would take in
Bascomville, Fort Lawn and the new
Catawba river bridge in Chester
county. .Liberty Hill is another
point it Is proposed to take in. Mr,
Wingo had a rough estimate of the
assessed property in the new county
but had not figured how much debt
the new. county would take with it
if created. He was expecting to get
this information at an early -date.-?
