Editor and P?bUfM* Publishod every Friday at No. llOU Broad Street and entered at the C?m? den, South Carolina j?o?tofTiee aa aecoiul class mail matter. Priee per annum 12.00,. payable in advance. Friday, October 14. 1032 We trust that our readers will par* don us fof again treating editorially the Ker?hitw county fair, but Chairman Walsh and his associates have labored ,*/> untiringly ti> make it a success that wo cannot resist the temptation to speak further in its behalf. Everything possible has been done to insure a most pleasant,, enjoyable and educational week for the people of the county and we express the hope that advantage will be taken of -the opportunities tfous afforded. The expense will be very slight and the rewards will be very great. Word comes to us that a great deal of interest is being manifested throughout the county in the occasion and wo feel sure that the attendance will bear out our prediction for the biggest and best fair that has ever been put on in Ker.4haw county. THE MAIN IDEA "Talk about going back to the farm," said ft country-raised town man some days ago, "misses, usually, the main idea it seems to me. The thing to strea* now is that a man should not think, of making money by going 'back to the farm but that in that way he can make a living, that he should not have to worryabout food. The wolf does not have] a chance to sit down before the door of a man who has corn and wheat, a hog or two, a cow or two and chickens and even turkeys and ducks and gcose if he or his folks care to bother with them." There are possibly fifty thousand acres of tillable land in Greenwood county not now Ix-ing cultivated. If ten acres of land would produce enough food for a family of five, think how many people this land would support?in food if not in other ways. And thcr.e are more than this mnny - acres lying in many other counties.? G recti wood Index-Journal. Congressman-Elect Speaker at Rotary ('ongt'es*man-eleet ).

Aged Fire Fighter Dies at Charleston Charleston. Oct. 12.?Chief Louis Rohjens, who spent 50 of his 72 years fighting fires in Charleston, died in iiis sleep early today in the little room at headquarters that was his home. Primamed, the dean of South Carolina fir emen . and president of the Suite Firemen's association lived simply)above the engines he had seen replace the horses after the horses had replaced the volunteer company with which he started his career. He had been chief of the department here since 1 DOT and had befen president of the State association since he and ten others founded it in Columbia May 30, 1905. Oconee Lyncher Confesses^ Guilt Walhalla, Oct. 11.?Having suffered a guilty conscience for more than two years, Laudy Harris, of Walhalla, today had "made peace with God" by confessing that he was one of the leaders of a mob that lynched Allen Green, negro, in April. 1920. Harris was one of more than twenty persons tried and acquitted on a charge of murder in connection ; with the negro's death. Under the ; law he cannot again !>e placed in [jeopardy of his life for the same I crime and unless lesser charges are j preferred against him the case is . history. Details of Harris' confession became known today when he returned J Ltu Sheriff John Thomas a pistol that was snatched from the officer's hand the night the mob stormed the Oconee county jail here where Green, charged i with assaulting a white woman, was a prisoner. Accompanied by a minister, Harris went to the jail Sunday and confessed i to Sheriff Thomas his part in the lynching. "An honest confession is good for the soul." he saTiT* "I have made my peace with you and my Ix>rd." Sheriff Thomas said he was "overwhelmed" by the -sudden turn in the nisc but that he "accepted the conI fe-sion in good faith."

(Special to The Chronicle.) Washington, D. C., Oct. 10.?The Fall is perhaps the most tJeHgirtful kousoii in Washington, with the crisp invigorating weather of approaching Winter. The Autumn flowers are resplendent jnpd the well kept 'public \l>ark.Hxare a beauty to behold. A, stream of visitors, equal to those in' the. Spring, constantly i>a*?es along, some tarrying a while, and some just taking a casual sight-seeing trip around the city. Confidence in the success of the National Democratic ticket thia year grows as the campaign progresses, The election of Roosevelt is now regarded as nearly certain as that of Hoover was four years ago. The reconciliation of A1 Smith and Roosevelt is believed to have made sure that New York will fall in line. In no quarter has any opinion been reliably expressed that the South \s ill not be solid again, and there are suf<ficient other states which are regarded as safe to make victory appear to be certain. To use a familiar expression all is considered to be over but the shouting. Many elements combine against the Republican party, the principal one perhaps being the failure of the Hoover admihistration to afford any relief in economic matters, after his vainly boasting before the election in ll>28 that Republican success meant continued and increased prosperity. All manner of preposterous predictions were made?-such as the abolition of the poor house, a chicken in every pot, two cars in every garage, where there had been but one, and the like?all of which has merely brought ridicule upon the present occupant of the White House. It is believed that the veteran vote j?quietly cast m most instances?will 1h- very largely against Hoover, because of the treatment of the so-called Bonus Kxpeditionary Force in Washington, where a few thousand veterans, unarmed, half-starved, and entirely defenseless, were driven by military force out of the city like so many wild beasts, it being feared that their continued presence here might be considered as a reflection upon the administration. As an example of the way the matter is looked upon by former soldiers, in a resolution adapted by the national convention of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, at Sacpimento, Cal., the use of troops to rout the "pitiful" bonus army from Washington was designated asi "unnec?6-? sary, criminal, brutal, uncalled for and morally indefensible." A significant fact in connection with the presidential election is the large number of negroes aligning themselves with the Democratic party throughout the country. The race is evidently awakening to a realization of the futility of figuring merely as Republican property. A good deal of literature has b- en produced during the past year or so regarding Hoover's affairs in foreign lands before his return to America. It is shown that his name is not r>nnected with any great engineering project, but that his activities insisted principally in the organiza; on of huge corporations, "\Yhich_fin ricned him and then mostly went bankrupt. However, from one source, punx.rtmg to be fairminded, it is contended that his engineering ability should not be discounted, as it is asserted that during the brief period of his presidency he has "ditc'hed, drained and dammed this entire country." Many of our wisest statesmen hold that a two party system is best for the country. If such is the case the "two" party feature would be lost if one power continued in power indefinitely. Perhaps that idea is working to the advantage of the Democrats?being akin to the general and prevailing belief that '.t is time t.?r a change in National politics.

Harvey Dies In Florida Tampa, Fla., October 7.?Wilson G. Harvey, 66, former governor of South Carolina, died at his home here tonii<ht of a heart attack. The bodyv Will be taken to Charleston, S. C., his fdvmer home, tomorrow. r./|fr, Harvey came here from Charleston last January to be state manager for the Carolina Life Insurance company.

I>ee Harvey, Miami, and t two sisters, Mrs. Frank M. Smith and 1 Miss Coralie Harvey, both of Char- j leston. f i ? -? 1 Wilson G. Harvey, a Charleston t business man and banker, was elected 1 lieutenant-governor in 11)18 and be-1lc came governor in 11)20 when Governor,j Robert A. Cooper resigned to accept j an appointment to the Federal Land.j Bank board. Harvey's administration lasted only a few months but * he made a reputation throughout the, state because of bis refusal to use his power of clemency to Interfere j with the sentences of the courts. He championed the cause of educa- c tion and in his farewell message to ^ the legislature he advocated that s "the bridle be taken of" in the mat- r tor of appropriations for the common t schools. J Harvey was the first 'Charlestonian ^ to be elected to a statewide office in t many years, lift did not seek re- ( election. J1 At one time charges of violating' the state banking Taws were preferred against him but he was acquitted. He was engaged in the insurance ^ business in Greenville and Columbia and was later transferred to Tampa. ji&~ Poor House Inmate Hoarded CasHl* Columbia, Oct. 6.?John M.
