There hrve been others who supported him. two years ago either because they did not know him or beernre they did not wish to vote for prohibition Having voted for him once, they believed that It would be Incorolst- ent in t'hem not to vote for him as often as he offered himself. Bnt Blease has out of his own mouth condemned himself. The men of South Carolina are above r-lT things proud of their reputation for chiv alry, their reverence for womer*. From the mouth of Blease, even In the presence of the gentle wo men of our State, there have flow ed such foul expressions and sug- gestlors as to make men rebel in disgust. Men who were formerly for him are now agatr^t him.

Mr. Price claimed T W Lott killed a huge rattle-, that this was his first c.ttempt at snake last week, which measured making a speech, but the opinion generally expressed was that if this was his first attempt, he would be an eloquent and finished orator by> the time he made his third speech. Mr. Price spoke in structively of the problems which the farmers of this county have to meet. He urged the Importance of preparation of seed bed before plEJitlr*g. In Mr. Prices' op inion it Is a sin not to plow deep. It is a mistaken idea to believe that the farm Is not the place to raise boys. The men who have charge of the world’s work today, said he, have been raised on the farm. One cause of so many fail ures in farm life is the fact that the fc-rmera do not work aa other people do, but for a few month* cause of one who, they thought, was ' n rnd n * ne inches around body.

Studebaker cars are built for honest everyday service, and will give you service —not excuses. You can start on the longest journey in full confidence that you will finish as strong as you began. Mechanical stability, beauty of design, simplicity of control, low price and low upkeep cost combine to make the Stude baker “20” an ideal car.
