Formerly Imported From Denmark, Supply Now Found in America. Pulverizing by pebbles in rotating cylinders or grinders is practiced in the United States in the manufacture of cement, in the metallurgy of ?ol&. and silver ores and in preparing for industrial use feldspar, quartz and certain mineral pigments. For this grinding nearly $500,000 worth cf small stones was imported in 1914. Well rounded pebbles from 1 1-2 to 1 inches in diameter are preferred; and nearly half of the supply has been flint pebbles from Denmark, though small quantities have been furnished by many parts of Europe and British America. Since the Danish imports have been threatened by the war. some search has been made for a home supply. The geological survey reports suitable pebbles of flint in the Gulf States, of quartz from Amador county, California, of quartzite and granite from Lake Superior, of rhyolite and basalt from the Rocky mountains and of rhyolite and felsite from Massachusetts and Maine, and some of these have been successfully tried. Artificially prepared pebbles also have given good results. Balls of cast iron and of porcelain have proved unsuitable, but at Manhattan, Nev., angular blocks of dense rhyolite have been roughly rounded in a revolving chamber into pebbles as efficient as the Danish. An Oregon gold mine and a cement mill -it Arrowrock dam have satisfactorily used angular blocks of basalt. SIMPLIFIED PHOTOGRAPH. _i New Method Has Several Advantages, Among Them Economy. In the novel method of enlarging photographs lately patented by A. J. Lotka, the view is widened out first in one direction and then at an angle of 90 degrees to that direction. The negative is made to slide past an illuminated slit, and at the same time a sensitive plate under the negative is moved in the same direction at some multiple of the rate of speed. When the sensitive plate is developed, the positive transparency obtained is found to have unaltered all lines parallel to the slit during exposure, while all lines at right angles to the slit are magnified in the ratio of the speed of the sensitive plate to that of the negative. This positive then takes the place of the negative in the second stage of the process. Another sensitive plate is placed under it, and these two plates are moved across the slit in the same ratio of speed maintained before, but at right angles to the former direction. The result is a negative enlarged both ways. It is free from distortion and is claimed as uniform illumination, simplicity of the process and ^ ^^o rvno no t-nc rAriinroH 1UYY tuot KJl appaiatuo i STATE PRIMARY RESULTS1: n STATE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE CANVASSES RETURNS.

I wish in this way to convey to you my heartfelt appreciation for the support you gave me on the 29th of August, and to ask a continuance of your support on the 12th of September. You know that I have always left it with you to say whether or not I should continue to serve you as County Auditor. Now, after years of faithful service, I have faith and confidence enough in you to believe that you will not lay me aside now, because God has seen fit* to lay his hand of affliction upon me. If I ever needed your support now is the time, when I am unable to do anything else, and I believe that you are going to stand by me. "A friend indeed is a friend in need." I have always looked after your interest in seeing that your property was not assesse<T~any higher than that of other counties. I have not forgotten your schools, no, not even during my illness, and the school fund of the county is better off by $1,000 or more by my thinking than when you had forgotten them yourselves, and as long as I remain in the office I shall continue to take care of your interests. I regret very much tljat I was unable to attend all of the county campaign meetings *nd shake hands with you as usual, but I have had the pleasure of seeing a great many of you here. My condition is so much better than it has been that I believe God in his goodness is going to restore me to health again. What I need now is absolute rest of both body and mind, neither of which I have had since I came home from the hospital. Scarcely a day has passed that I have not done work of some kind, and some of it very strenuous work, ? enough to tire a well man, to say * iu! A iiouimg ui a SIUK uiau. Therefore, should any of you have cast your ballot against me on account of my health, I hope you will reconsider the matter and vote for me this time. Again thanking you for your past support, and asking a continuance of the same on the 12th inst., I am, Your servant, *R. W. D. ROWELL. Sept. 5, 1916. TO THE VOTERS OF BAMBERG COUNTY. I want to thank you for the nice vote you gave me in the first race and to assure you I appreciate same very highly. I am to make the second race by a very close margin. Rumors are always started to injure a person, and I am sorry to say there are already rumors afloat that I have used money and whiskey to influence votes and that I am a heavy -rrlriclrciv Hrinlror " 111UXVVJ Ui I will pay a nice reward for any one to prove the charges before a committee of five responsible, reliable men. I had no connection in any way with the use of whiskey in the last election. There may be and doubtless are other false and malicious reports being circulated against me, which shows to what extent my enemies will go to to try to defeat me. I only ask that any report be thoroughly investigated before it is believed. I am in no combination with any one, and am running this race as a gentleman, and will appreciate any help you can lend me in my coming election. This notice may not reach everyone, so would appreciate it very much if this news will be passed on. Yours very respectfully,J. D. COPELAXD, JR. card of thanks. - - JLl~ ? I wish to express to tne voters ui Bamberg County who cast their ballots for me in the first primary, and those friends who labored so zealously in my behalf, my sincere thanks for their generous support, and, assure them that their kindness will not be forgotten; and I ask the continuation of their loyal support in the coming primary.
