In publishing the appeal for $1.00
subscriptions to the Democratic campaign
fund yesterday we omitted the
signature of W. W. Johnson, chairman
for this county. We rpnuhlish t.hp lie*
- -r -- ? ?? ^yi
of canvassers today so that there will
w<
be no excuse for those who neglect to .
is
do their duty. Get up your subscrip- ^
tions and turn the money over to W.
W. Johnson, Union, S. C. Do it at
once. Every Democrat is asked to
contribute at least a dollar, and it is m
a poor Democrat that will refuse to
do so, it seems to us.
ADDITIONAL SUBSCRIPTIONS
Union township yesterday reported
through J. A. Wilburn, chairman, $1.- I
185.00 subscribed to the fund to secure
a cotton grader. Since that time Mr.
Wilburn reports another subscription
of $10.00 from ? ? ?, this
making a total of $1,195.00.
If the other townships will do anything
like as well we will go over the
$.'1,000 mark.
If it means nothing more, a cotton
grader will inspire confidence. The
guess work will end and real business
in the selling of cotton will have been 4
started. Confidence is a great thing
in any business transaction. Confi-|B
dence gives stability and increases the ^
volume of business.

The Tennessee senate yesterday rat- r
ificd the woman suffrage amendment, Q
the vote was 25 to 4 in favor of the
amendment. The house will vote upon
the question Monday, and there is
every likelihood that the majority will s]
vote for ratification. We may say to ^
the women. "Ladies, prepare your ballots.'
Whether you like it or not the ^
women will be given the ballot. We v
do not see all the horrible things in j
the movement that many profess to S
see in it. We do not believe that wo- "
men will lose their modesty nor degenerate
into Amazons. Fact is. we believe
the moral tone in politics will be
ir
decidedly improved. The women will
speak more strongly in favor of clean K
government than will the men.
================== T
The Times Correspondents' Club met
in the rooms of the Chamber of Commerce
yesterday afternoon, having set
that time to meet for the purpose of ^
cc
having a' group picture made. About ^
half of the correspondents were ai
present. The heavy rains prevented w
th
the others from coming. We decided
to go ahead, have each one present to
ait. for a photograph, then have the *o
w
individual photographs grouped. By ^
this means those who could not come w
yesterday may come any day during 01
the next ten days and get into the
to
group. We ask that every correspond- re
ent who was not here yesterday make g<
it convenient to come during the next
ten days and go to the photograph Df
gallery here and tell the photographer uf
you want to get into the Times Correspondents'
group picture. We want j)C
I
eryone in the picture. Even Moxy f
m absent yesterday. We cannot con)ive
of having a picture that leaves
oxy out. We hope you will, during
C1
ie next ten days, go to the photo- 0
rapher here and get into the group *
icture. i,

People sometimes feel considerable t(
isentment towards the government
nder which they live, even in a delocracy
like ours. Many conditions a
re not satisfactory, many injustices v
. . v
revail and wrong doing is much in i
ride nee. Viewing the unsatisfactory I1
t<
onditions one is prone to rail against ^
ie government. But when conditions J*
uch as prevail in Russia begin to be c,
nderstood, respect for government,
overnment that offers protection u> 0
fe and property, appreciation of our
lessings begin to be felt. It is easy
o find fault, for there are doubtless ^
lany real defects. But who in this
ountry would change places With ^
Russia? It is in the matter of the
istribution of wealth that much sup- ^
v
osed cause for complaint arises 'in
K
free country. The poor rail against ?
lis rich; sometimes, not often, the
ich become oppressors. Charges of ^
aving gathered riches dishonestly p
rise, and most of the charges are 10
ilse, yet serve to give color to the
larges. Perhaps the foolish flaunt- g
ig of wealth is most to be blamed for
g
ic attitude of the unfortunate toards
the fortunate. The man who
ids himself poor and past the hour of ^
ill production, finds it easy to blame el
tc
s more fortunate neighbor; blames re
ni, yet himself has lived a life of C<
astefulness and sloth. The truth is, ejj
a have a pretty good country, and it ^
or
m a fair way to develop into a bet- S(
r one, and it is some comfort to P*
rn to our government and rejoice in gt
and reconsecrate ourselves to its ^
terests after a view of Russia run B<
ad, starving, oppressing, destroying ^
fe and property. bi

There will be a community rally at

A well-planned program will be fii
endered. Miss Laura Bailey, assist- di

THIS COMMUNITY
The Times found out today how
toroughly the paper is read in this
immunity. An item appeared about
io cooking demonstration Saturday
id instead of saying Saturday, it
as "tomorrow" and mislead lots of
ie good ladies.
The phone was constantly ringing
i know when the model kitchen was
i be demonstrated and why the date
as changed and such like and the
imes man answered each inquiry
ith the acknowledgement that it was
lr mistake and the date had not
sen changed. It is very pleasant
know how thoroughly the paper is
ad and these little "call-downs" are
>od for one's health. Mistakes are
i easy to make when everybody is
inning to catch the mails, and this
flee hates to make one, but we own
>?we did it and now we apologize to
iss South, Miss Smith, the model
tchen and the good ladies who got L
fuddled.

Having written several letters for
The Times in the past, and, having on
two occasions been with The Times
party on their outing, I feel like I
am one of you and will, with your
permission, write occasionally.
We are rejoicing over the good
rains that have fallen in the past few
days and our crops are taking on new
life and give promise of "bread to
the eater and seed to the sower." Of
course, our cotton will shed a good
deal, but we will still have as much
as we can gather with such poor labor
conditions. It seems to me that if
our people would back up the cotton
association as they should, we would
get a good price for our cotton. I
want to tell you, Mr. Editor, that
some of my neighbors are not depending
on cotton altogether for their
money, but ai-e raising watermelons,
canteloupes, vegetables and fruit to
beat the band. Neighbor J. L. Brown
tells me he has sold $125 or $150
worth of melons and his good wife
showed me a fine lot of canned fruit
and vegetables that she had put up;
also a fine lot of onions she raised.
These people also have some fine
cows and sell a good deal of butter
and milk. Neighbor C. C. Fowler,
who is known far and wide, as a successful
melon raiser, while not trying
to sell near all of his, has perhaps
sold $125 worth. When it is melons
wheat and fine sweet potatoes, Coleman
is hard to beat. Neighbor Albert
Gossett is also another fine melon
man, and he has a very fine orchard,
and has fruit nearly every year
When I last talked with him he told
me he thought he had sold $."100 worth
of melons and fruit. Albert is a
hustler, always having something tc
sell.
And, now, Mr. Editor, I come tc
n w uruuu?i. ...u_
ilV.l^uwut MJ. TV , TT llltlUtA, WHO U1U
not plant a patch, but a field of eighl
acres to melons, and my! at the tint
melons he has! If any of you town
people, who enjoy a fine melon, fresli
from the vine, will run up to Mr
Whitlock's, you can get it at a reasonable
price too.
Mr. Whitlock is not ready yet tc
give me any figures on sales, but will
later on. Mr. Whitlock, having reac
in the Progressiev Farmer, where
some of the stations had made tests
in the spacing of cotton and founc
that when it was not thinned at al
but left as it came from the plantei
yielded more, decided to plant 7 acres
that way, and he is so far well pleased
and firmly believes it will yielc
more. I saw the cotton today and il
looks good to me.
Any one wishing to see this cottor
Mr. Whitlock will take pleasure ii
showing it to them and too, it is
righ* o;; the road to that big melor
patch.
Neighbor Fd Vinson is another om
who is always on the go with something
to sell, such as melons, cantelopes,
wood, etc.
I want to say that these good neighbors
have kept this scribe suppliec
abundantly, his patch being late.
Well I must stop for this time anc
get ready for the campaign meetinn
tomorrow. T. J. Bishop.

J. J. M'SWAIN REVIEW
VIEWS OF PI
When shown the political advertucment
in "The Greenville Daily News"
of Aug. 10th, containing an interview
by D. B. Traxler. J. J. McSwain said:
"I have not usea Mr. Traxler's name
in any speech, nor in any published
statement signed by me. I have been
discussing issues, and issues alone,
and if my view of the public issues
has crowded Mr. Traxler and made
him uncomfortable it is because of the
ridiculous situation he has placed
L himself in by advocating a National
1 System of Education, whereby he
i proposed to turn over our schools to
[ the United States government, and
; he says that Uncle Sara is the
' "Daddy" of us all, and, therefore, let
Uncle Sam "look carefully after the
1 education of all of our children", in>
eluding tuition, books, clothes and
board, a proposition that would cost
the Federal government at least five
. billion dollars a year.
; "Mr. Traxler says that he is
, "amused" that I am boasting of hav,
ing five supporters in Union County.
However, he will find that NINE dis]
interested citizens in Union County
' have stated in the first place that I
' will carry the county, and'that not a
1 single man in Union County except
: L. C. Wharton, approves of Traxler's
educational scheme. Of course, it is
not "amusing" to Mr. Traxler when
only one man in Union County has
. said a good word for 'fraxTbr, and
that man is admittedly in his employ.
"Mr. Traxler admits that "some1
| people are inclined to fear the negro j
element in his educational proposition
but says that when it is explained and i
understood there is no question where!
' a man stands on it. Mr. Traxler is
absolutely right on that proposition.
Every man to whom the proposition
is explained stands squarely against
it. Mr. Traxler has told us in his
advertisements and stated it to be a
fact, that his proposed educational
system has "the endorsement of the
Nation's foremost thinkers, including
economists,- sociologists and educators."
Since he has stated this to
be fact, the people have a right to
kknow th names of the persons who
nedorse "Traxler's universal, free educational
system by the United States
government. Does a single member
of congress from this State, or will
a single other candidate for congress
in this State, endorse his proposition ?
Will a single candidate for, the legislature
in Greenville County, or in any
county in South Carloina, endorse
Traxler's educational proposition contained
in his interview published in
The Greenville News Sunday morning,
Jun? 27, 19207 Let them read
it and note that he proposes for the
United States government to put up
three-fourths (3-4) of the money, and
he says that just as the United States
government operates the postoffices,
and just as it operated he railroads,
the express companies, and the telegraph
companies during the war, so
it can operate a national school system.
He says this: 'Operation of a
school system by the government in
co-operation of the States is a simple
matter.' Of course, it would be simple.
The United States government
would do the operating and the little
States putting up one-fourth (1-4) of
the money would do the co-operating,
and it would be a case of where the
lion and the lamb lay down together.
The federal government would soon
swallow up the State government.
"Will a single candidate for the
' United States senate in this State eni
dorse Traxler's educational proposi1
tion? Will E. D. Smith, with whoin
i Traxler claims to have a "great drag"
1 endorse Traxlter's educational propo1
sition? If Traxler will within Ave
> days obtain an unqualified endorsement,
and if Senator E. D. Smith will
promise, if re-elected to introduce the
! same national system of education
' contemplated by Traxler in his plati
fo. m, published on June 27, 1920, and
if E. D. Smith will explain why he
f never thought of such a plan before,
i during the 12 years he has been in
> ollice, then I will pay to the Bruner
Home for Orphan Children at Green
ville, S. C., the sum of $500.00.
"If nobody else will endorse Trax'
ler's universal, national, centralized
: system of education, then are all oth'
cr officers and candidates fools? Let
1 me remind those who have been here1
tofore disposed to encourage Mr.
' Traxler in his over-weening and consuming
ambition to be a member of
> congress that the proposition i3
1 wholly undemocratic, is contrary to
; the traditions and platform of the
s Democratic party for 100 years, as
i is expressly and in/.>qUivoicalJy adI
m'tted in the acceptance speech of
. uove.nor uox, our present standaid
bearer, and we hope our next president.
Let all such persons remember
, that in the future* candidates for of[
fice in Greenville city, and in Green[
ville County and in the Fourth Con.
gressional District will be questioned
i on the stump as to whether or not in
1 1920 they favored Traxler's proposi1
tion to turn the schools over to the
- national government, to be operated
5 by it as it operates the postoffices, and
. as it did operate the railroads. That
j question will be the test question as
t
i the French rejoinder was received to'
day and the full text will follow soon.
' In the opinion of administration officials
as expressed today the answer
5 of the Allies will spring a desire to
. reach a common policy on a question
regarded as the gravest with which
the world has to deal.
j It also was suggested officially that
the replies of Great Britain and
I France would offer an opportunity for
> those governments to smooth out
whatever differences have developed
between them since the dispatch of
' the American note and the reorganization
by France of General Wrangel
. as the head of the South Russian gov,
ernment.
5 The French reply as outlined in of\
ficiul summary received today was un3
derstood to be highly satisfactory to
f I administration officers.
S D. B. TRAXLER'S
OUTICAL CONDITIONS
to the soundness of their
democracy.
"Let the people remember that I
like David B. Traxler personally, and
he know8 well how he rushed to me
for assistance at a certain critical
point in his campaign four years ago,
and how I openly and publicly assisted
him, for which I have a letter of
thanks. It is not a personal matter.
It is a tremendous issue, and one in
which the white people of the South
are vitally concerned. The trouble
is that my friend, Mr. Traxler, has
simply stumbled and blundered into a
proposition that at first blush, and
superficially, seemed to him would be
a good vote getting proposition, ami
he did not turn the proposition over
in his mind to see what the effect
would be when the Republicans g>t
in power at Washington.
"Not only is Governor tJox of Ohio
opposed to interference and dependency
by the States upon the Federal
government in educational matters,
but Dr. Claxton, the United States
Commissioner of Education, is
against it. John E. Swearingen, our
Stata superintendent of education, is
against it, and A. F. Lever, former
member of congress, is against it.
<4Mnf nnlv /lirl Trovln* a
-iwv V..V WM AIMAIWi WJiVDC to
turn over the schools to the national
government, but later ho also
"launched his National Warehouse
System, whereby he proposes for the
United States government to buihl
warehouses throughout the nation,
and this national system of warehouses
is opposed by J. Skottowu
Wannamaker, president of the American
Cotton Association, John L. McLaurin,
our first state warehouso
commissioner, B. Harris, our present
commissioner of agriculture, and A.
F. Lever. Will anybody endorse Mr.
Traxler's system of warehouses? If
not, what is the matter? Why are
people afraid of his warehouse system,
as they are of his educational
system ?
"The answer is plain; we people of
the South cannot afford to put our
eggs in the national basket. We have
only 1-4 of the votes in congress, and
we have racial and economic conditions
that our States can protect us
in, but the Nation might dfestroy us.
It is the old story of the lion and the
lamb, with the lamb inside. Mr. Traxler
says that State's Rights is a
'dead issue.' He says 'this is Trot a day
for musty souls to look through the
darkened and cramped vision of the
dead past.' But he will find that this
State's Rights proposition, which he
says is 'dead', is the livest corpse he
ever saw and that some who think it
dead will be mortally wounded on
August 31, or crippled politically for
a life time
"Mr. Traxler tells the people in every
campaign speech I have heard
him make this year that he made mistakes
four years ago and two years
ago, but that he is now 'better and
wiser' and he seems to think that he
is at last the political companionship
that suits him, and seems happy with
his new political bed fellows.
"But respecting the soundness of
his *political prophesies.' the people
remember that four years ago he said
1 1 1 AL 11 -
TYtt.il iaikc icuvis anu iuuu muuvn mac
'Sam Nicholls is beat and he don't
know it,' but Nicholls beat Traxler
Fifteen Thousand Votes. Two years
ago Traxler said with the same large
letters and the same loud mouth that
Horace Bomnr is not considered in
the race, but Nicholls and Bomar
again beat Traxler fiften thousand
votes. Merely because Bomar was
only four hundred and twenty-two
votes ahead of Traxler, Traxler
claims tremendous gains. It is like
the case of, the boy who always stood
next to head in his class, but there
were only two in the class.
"If Traxler admits and apologizes
for the mistakes of his races of 1916
and 1918, how will he ever have time
to explain away the mistakes he has
made this year 1920 in suggesting a
national system of education and a
national warehouse system, whereby
white supremacy and Southern economic
independence would be endangered
and finally estroyed. I concede
that TraxleFs mistake of 1920
is one of the head and not of tho
heart. He has blindly blundered into
something that he is trying to escape
from. But I ask the people to go
back to his platform itself published
at huge expense in every newspaper
in the district and scattered broadcast
at every public gathering, some
of them religious, some of them fraternal,
and some of them social.
"If during his residence in Washington
for much of the time during
the past four years, and his intimate
association with 'national democratic
leaders,' as he himself tells us, he is
now not able to see the consequences
of such propositions which endanger
white supremacy, then how does he
expect the people of the district to
give him 4a chance to make good'
when here before he is electd, with
campaign managers and assistant
managers, millionaire plutocrats and
'the nation's foremost thinkers' to advise
him and keep him straight, he
has made the most monumental blunder
that any Democrat, North or
South, ever pulled off.?(Adv.)
