~ Why Not?
An interesting bit of information
i* that the J. C. 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.

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.
Contests.
We hear a lot about flagpole sitters
and other "long distance" endurance
contests. Perhaps if we could popularize
long-distance- working contests.

FACTH AM) PIGURffiS. |
In the present senatorial campaign
Senator Blease has boasted repeatedly
of hi* numerouh elections to offlce
atf evidence of the strong hold he haa
held with the voting public. 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.

AdulU Contract Children'*
Disease*
Adults can, and do, contract many
children's diseases. And usually, they
fronr* them much more than
children do. For instance, many adults
contract worms, an ailment usually
associated with children. Sometimes
they suffer intensely and take expensive
medical treatments, withoui
realizing that worms are the cause
of their troubles. \ et, the symptom;
are the same as in children, loss of
appetite and weight. grinding the
teeth and restless sleep, itching oi
the nose and anus, and abdomina
pains. And, the same medicine thai

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.
