'Governor Harvey yesterday revoked the parole of Andrew Adams, of York county, and directed the county officials to recommit Adams to the county chain gang to complete his sentence. Adams was paroled during good behavior on Nov. 1, 19pl, by Governor Cooper. He was convicted in l York county in July of 1920 of grand larceny and sentenced to serve two years. Governor Harvey recently began to check up the paroles. An investigation revealed that Adams had violated his parole, and yesterday the chief executive revoked it. The governor was advised that Adams has been convicted of another crime since he was paroled.?The State. DEMANDS SUM OF $2,000. __ I Widow of Lynched Negro Serves No- J tice on County.

New Texas Senator From Carolina Stock Dallas, Aug. 26.?Incomplete returns from 180 out of 245 counties voting in today's Democratic primary indicated the nomination of Earle B. Mayfield for United States senator over James E. Ferguson. The figures compiled by the Texas election bureau were: Mayfield 218,223; Ferguson 157,780. The reports were from all over the state and showed Mayfield to be leading consistently. Mr. Mayfield comes directly from Carolina stock on both paternal and j Ar?

C., and Melissa Blythe Mayfield, the daughter of Rev. David Blythe, a Baptist minister residing at Blythe Bridge on the South Saluda, Greenville county, was a sister of Judge Absolom Blythe and Lillian Blythe, the wife of William Mayfield, of Greenville county, d r% D. U. Thomas Mayfield was a soldier of the Mexican war and settled at Tyler, Texas. His father, Jesse MayBeld married Nancy, the youngest daughter of Samuel McJunkins. Samuel was the son of Maj. Jos. McJunkins, who took part in the battle of Kings Mountain, and to whom Gen. McCrady in his history of South Carolina gives more credit for the Winning of the battle of Kings Mountain than to any other officer. Major Joseph McJunkins was*the son of Captain Samuel McJunkins, who had taken part in the French and Indian wars and with John Mayfield ran the blockade of the French and Indians ind bore messages to the settlements which sent relief to the Fort Schuyler, which was then besieged and iriroin nrcoooH On return nf aid sent >V1 V1J VCWVV*.

On the maternal side David 31ythe was a soldier of the war of L 812; with Benjamine Hagood and )thers defended Georgetown while t was besieged by Admiral Joseph 31ythe, of the British navy, who was ater killed off the coast of Maine in ;he battle between the Boxer and ;lie Wasp, uavia jBiyme s iaiuer i iad taken part in the Revolutionary var as had Dr. McClure,. whose laughter Rev.

There are many kindred in South Carolina of Earl Blythe Mayfield, imong them, Judge Absolom Blythe, )f Greenville, is a great-uncle; the children of William Mayfield, to wit: Ex-superintendent or education w. D. Mayfield; Ex-seifator S. G. May3eld, of Bamberg, S. C.; Mrs. .Kate Ponder, of Dacusville, and George R. Mayfleld, of Marietta, S. C., are cousins on both mother's and father's jide, their fathers, Thomas and Willam, being brothers, and Melissa and Lillian being sisters. It will be seen that Earl Mayfield's ancestors have taken part in the wars in the defense of their coun try. Earl Blythe Mayfield is under fifty rears of age. He was elected to the legislature from Rusk county, Texas, and became the champion of the prohibition bill, introduced the bill and fought it to a successful conclusion. He served three terms in the legislature and was then elected to the railroad commission to which place he has been three times elected. Allison Blythe Mayfield has been - - - ' * J! J chairman or me rauiudu wiuajisoiun for more than twenty years. For the past ten years the two Mayfields have 3erved on the railroad commission of Texas. Allison was re-nominated in the first run off of the recent primary in Texas. Earl Blythe Mayfield, the nominee, is a man of fine address, eloquent, [earned and adaptable. He has pitched his campaign on a high plain. He made the fight for the U. S. senate advocating lower rates of freight and that the several states should have the control of rate making on intrastate business as against the interstate commerce rates being fixed in Washington ror all lines 01 transportation. SENATOR CAPPER SAYS: Los? the First Battle for Muscle 1 Shoals. c The first battle for the Henry Ford f Development of Muscle Shoals has s been lost. The senate committee on i agriculture declined by a vote of 7 to i 9 to report the Ford plan favorably. 1 The final battle will have to be fought t out on the floor of the senate. Sena- c tor Ladd and myself and five Demo- a cratic members of the committee were I the seven who stood by the Ford r Proposition. A hard fight is ahead t of the senators who wish to see Ford ^ win, the one man who c&n transform c this stupendous wreck on which the t government,has spent nearly 100 mil- c lions, into great national benefit and u at the same time free the farmers of ^ the United States from the grip of the fertilizer trust. But they are in this p fight to a finish. It may take 'an- d other session of congress but victory 1: will come in the end. , a As I see it, it is Ford and the peo- t pie on one side, and the fertilizer G trusts and the private waterpower a interests on the other. In the end a Ford and the people will win. Either c this great project will be developed f: by Henry Ford or by the government i< under direction of Secretary Week9 h of the war department. I think the a farmers believe Henry Ford, an in- h tensely practical industrial genius, will come nearer to smashing the < 1.M2 x x XI ill TTT 1. ? ieruuzer irusi. man win vveexw?, whose close affiliation with big business is a matter of common knowl- tl edge. The farmers haven't forgotten c that Secretary Weeks has on a num- A erous occasions publicly expressed his opposition to the farm bloc and has shown no sympathy or interest in the Iproblems of tfhe farmer. * Ford wishes to give the farmers a chance.

B Once or twice a week lately a homicide has been reported in South CaroTr* m AO + /\f +Viooq trQcroHioa I Ulla. XXI LUUOl U1 I.UOSV V1UQVU1VW white men have been parties and in q some cases they have been men of ^ more than ordinary intelligence. That is a wretched condition of affairs. Nevertheless it is certain tha: were ^ men who have it in their hearts to carry pistols and, upon provocation or without provocation, to slay their fellowmen reasonably assured that in the case of conviction and sentence g to death and imprisonment they would be pardoned after a few months by a governor, the number of homicides would be trebled or quadruDled. The shortest and surest- way to T make South Carolina uninhabitable by law-abiding citizens, especially defenseless women, would be to lodge the pardoning power in the hands of y a citizen who might pardon 425 criminals every year and possibly more. So much no man or woman will deny. It is all well enough to talk about ^ ''enforcement of law." Why not specify? Why not be definite? Why not say, "I shall not pardon convicts except in extraordinary circumstances, when the rigidity of the law requires to <be corrected lest injustice be done, and I can not conceive of circumstances in this state that would allow me-to issue in any one year more than 40 or 50 pardons and commutations?" A declaration of that kind would mean something. It would be candid dealing with the people. It would be the abandonment of all quibbles, double meaning and nonsense. ^ Why do not the voters require the candidates to come down to facts and honest talk? Do the voters know that candidates who refuse to use plain language that a child can understand are laughing at them and in their heart* calling the voters fools? Why is any candidate afraid to speak in words that will commit him- ? self to something? ^ Every candidate knows the difference between pardoning 200 men and 2,000 men in four years. m t9f S] Uncle Sam Saloon-Keeper at Sea. ^ v It is a scandalous and deplorable situation, it sems to me, to have this v government in the saloon business on IV its merchant ships at sea, as it is now v with the consent of the chairman of a the U. S. Shipping Board. With Uncle Sam a prohibitionist at home and a saloon-keeper on the seas, our European brethren can again wink the other eye when discussing American C ideals and tne world's greatest nyyu- ~ crite?because that is what we are C( if we permit this to continue. A gov- 7 ernment that breaks its own laws 0 need expect no one else to respect ri them or it. If it is lawful to run a tl saloon under the American flag on e ship board, it is lawful to run a sa- ci loon anywhere.

C., Aug. 26.?Eight important sales of tobacco, running into the millions of pounds and orders ' iwi miure aenvenes receivea dv tne Tobacco Growers' Cooperative association, were announced today by the leaf department of the big cooperative association. So successful has the association been in its first sales that South Carolina growers will receive cash advances on a revised valuation and the members who have already delivered their tobacco in South Carolina will receive the benefit of this revision and their share of increasing profits at the final settlement. The sales to leaf dealers and manufacturers have been so large that the second distribution of cash payments for deliveries will be made to the South Carolina members of the association just v as soon as a sufficient amount is collected to make another substantial cash advance in the near future. More than 3\000,000 pounds of tobacco were delivered again this week to the cooperative warehouses of the South Carolina belt. The growers' association is now urging a?1 its mem- * bers to make deliveries in view of the demand for their tobacco. Enthusiasm for the new method of marketing Is on the increase and many farmers who failed to join the association this year have expressed their wish to sign up next year's crop. Steady de- , liveries continue throughout eastern North Carolina, where general satisfaction with the new marketing method and the cash advances is being voiced by members of the cooperative association. Hundreds of hew members from western North Carolina signed the marketing contract this week following the opening of the association warehouses in the east and enthusiastic meetings were held at many points throughout the old belt.
