Penny chain stores are considering buying a large quantity of the products of the Gossett mills of Anderson -a cloth of light weight cotton material similar to Lorraine cords, to convert into men's suits for summer wear. The cloth is said to launder and tailor beautifully. Samples have been made into suits and submitted to buyers of the chain stores. It is stated that suits of this national can be made to sell for around five dollars. The production and tailoring of South Carolina products within the slate would he a move of far reaching influence to stimulate the demand for cotton goods.at home and abroad. One prime reason for the textile industry languishing in its present state is that those vitally interested and affected by it pass up the wear and use of cotton goods for silks anil rayon products. It is to be hoped that not only the Penny stores, hut other great chain organizations focus their attention on the possibilities of purchasing products of South Carolina mills and having the cloth made up for the trade in suits and garments. That would keep up a constant demand and insure operation of tin* mills and employment to.the workers. -Spartanburg Journal. Mr \V. M Barnwell, representing I In- slate highway department, has been in this county for the pust three days, trying t<> gel the right-of-way straightened out on the road between Camden and Sumter, so that work can proceed on this much needed stretch of state highway. Just what headway he has been making we have been unable to learn. There has been much needless delay occasioned on this stretch of paving, due to parties wanting the road to go one way and others wanting another route. Anyway the public wonts the road completed the nearest and straightest route, and one which will in> of the greatest benefit, as far as safety is concerned, regardless of the ones trying to block its progress.

One of ( his opponents, Mr. l^eon Harris of , Anderson, has challenged his state- , ment and has said repeatedly in the present campaign that Hlease haa been defeated oftener in South Carolina than any other candidate, except John T. Duncan of Columbia. The Charleston News and Courier has been moved to search the records , from which it produces the following facts and figures recalling more than thirty years of South Carolina political history in which Senator Hlease has been a conspicuous figure: In the year 11)00 Mr. Bhttse in a contest for lieutenant governor rgn fifth and last, receiving 9,5m votes in the first primary. In 1902 Mr. Hlease was again a ' candidate for lieutenant governor, receiving 19,420 votes. The late Mr. F. H. Gary received lid,370 and the late Colonel John T. Sloan, Jr., 39,309. In second primary Colonel Sloan was elected. In 1900 Mr. Hlease ran third for governor, receiving 10,801 votes. Mr. Munning received 23,008 and Governor Ansel 39,850, in the first primary. Mr. Ansel was elected in the second primary. In 1908 Mr. Hlease contested Governor Ansel's claims to a second term, receiving 38,010 to 54,570 for j Governor Ansel. The vote for governor in 1910 when j Mr, Hlease was elected in the second ! primary was 50,250 for him, against, 50,005 for C. C. Featherstone. His ' majority was 5,045. Mr. Hlease was reelected governor in 1912, receiving 72,043 to 00,548 for ( the late Judge Ira H. Jones. His plurality over Judge Jones was 5,193,; but John T. Duncan received 2,385,! so that his majority was but 3,148. In 1914 Mr. Hlease, then governor,! ran for United States senator. He re- ] ceived 50,913, to 72,200 for E. D. Smith, whose plurality was therefore 15,.353. L. I). Jennings and the late W. P. .Pollock received together 3,- j 022. so that the majority against Hlease was 18,975. In 1910 Governor Manning was a' candidate for reelection. Mr. Hlease ran against him. Mr. Hlease received i 00,785, Governor Manning 71,469, j and Governor Manning's majority was 4,084. In 1918 Mr. Hlease was a candidate for United States senator and re-! ceived 40,456, N. B. Dial received 65,-! 004 and Mr. Rice 5,317. Mr. Dial's ! plurality was 24,608 and the majority ' against Mr. Hlease was 29,925. In 1922 Mr. Hlease was again a | candidate fur governor, this time j against Thomas G. McLcod. He re- ' | ceived 15 to 100,114 for Mr. Mcj l.eod. Mr!.cod's majority was 11,169.* In 192 1 Mr. Hlease was elected United States senator. In the second primary he received 100,686 and j James F. Byrnes received 98,465. Mr. ' Blense's majority was 2,221. Byrnes | and Hlease each carried 23 counties. Mr. Bleaso's political career began with his candidacy for the house of , representatives in Newberry in 1888. The vote in the August primary was: J. M. Johnstone 1,450, George S. Mower 1,294, R. T. Hunter 1,144, E. P. Chalmers 907, C. L. Blease 906. In 1890 Mr. Blease was elected to the house, later to the senate. He was also mayor of Helena and of Newberry. Had he received 239 more votes in his first contest he would have been third man and elected. Rape For Hogs. The matter regarding the injury done hogs by pasturing rape has been considerably over-emphasized, as rape does very little injury to hogs -in South Carolina. However, ape is known to cause sores on white hogs. This is particularly true where the rape has reached considerable height. Do not hesitate to plant . rape on this account as the farmers vc y >eldom lot the rape get high' enough to even reach the knees of small pigs, so that the damage would be exceedingly limited. Rape re- 1 quires rich soil in order to make satisfactory and profitable growth. It is, ' however, an excellent grazing crop ' for pigs and they do exceedingly well while grazing on it. says Henry D. Green County Agent. Policeman Dies Suddenly. Columbia.?David W. Wooten, 39, for approximately eight years a member of the Columbia police force, died suddenly at his home Sunday morning. He was sick only an hour. When Your Farm Stock Is Sick, Look For Rats. Disease among farm animals don't just happen.

MINIATURE GOLF 00UREE8. There Are Now 25,000 That Coet $125,000,000. Washington, Aug. II.-?These baby; gulf courses sprouting around the United States now number 26,000 and represent the incredible value of $125,000,000 in investment. This is the estimate compiled by the commerce department, which! finds that 15,000 of them sprung into existence since last January, and that their total is still on the rise. Primarily the government's commercial sharps have been investigating the subject by reason of the demand the miniature golf establishments are creating for materials of various kinds, all during a period when demand for substances is a matter of general concern; The j courses promise to consume in the aggregate very respectable quantities of cotton, through their use of duck and canvas for enclosures. They use also the products of a dozen industries, and if they exhibit drawing power through winter weather, will require shelter and heat for the crowding players.
