Al :i. - ??? i j oiio has heard of the Appalachian Forest Reserve sol <?tne which Speaker Cannon pi-fMsi ?utly declines to allow to come to a vote in the U. S. /JO f Representatives, but few understand the vital inc p.- rtauce of the measure to the en I in* country. Jtgoes without Saying that a well wooded sec lion is never overflowed to an appreciably damaging extcut, and the prevention of a damaging overflow is largely the object of tho forestry bill no v pending in House of Representatives. Hii* is a just bill, and when the Almighty has sufficiently pun ished tne Democratic parly He .vill allow the election of u Democratic house and Senate, and the Appalachian Parle bill a-ill become a law, A good roads system is how ?v>?r equally as important as a Joiertry reserve system, and happily this is within our reach without our being compelled to await the whim of the Speaker oi the National House of Repre sentatives. We were promised during the political campaign just closed thift a convention of our citizens would bG called iin - mediately after tho election to suggest ways and means look ing to the betterment of our present road system. Lot that meeting of citizens be called at an early date. We canuot just pee but one system that will prove efficacious, and that is a system of taxation with road working by contract, each con tractor being bonded, and di rectly under tho supervision of a compotont road enguieer. It is possible that other plans may bo better than this, but this is tho plan usually followed throughout tho country. I ? ATTENTION. DEMOCRATS. We have been requested to open books oT subscription to tho National Democratic Cam paign Fund, and comply wtill ihe request with pleasure. There should rest in tho mind of no dune, disinterested citizen any doubt tis to tho importance to the country at large of Bryan and Kern and a Democratic Con gress tli!s year. Tho dire possi bilities to tho welfare of the Nation by the defeat of the De mociacy this $oar cannot bo estimated. A defoat will mean increased tariif robbery through the continued protection of trusts and combines of every nature, tt will mean tne continued op pression of tho many for the benefit of tho few. It will fur ther mean tho further per ver sion of the fundamental princi ples of our government with the almost certain alternative of radical and harmful changes in tho conduct of National affairs. In ordor to obviuto aud pre vent this poruioious result, the National Democratic Commit tee requests a small contribution in money from all, eaoh and every patriotic citizen for the provision of funds with which to defray legitimate campaign or penset whioh are naturally to be expeu:1ed in the defraying of the costs of speakers of National re nown, tho renting of halls, <fcc., and not for the pnrfJbso of pur chasing votes Not one cent or vour money will bo used to de. ?:i<-!( rs, or be diverted in to any other than legitimate clitinuu!*. ??

W. A. Sohrock-, Editor THE PEOPLE. Camden, S. C. COMPLETE ELECTION. RE TURNS. The complete returnes from the election as tubulated ond de clared by tlie Btate executive committee shows I he tremendous figure of 110,000 voles as cast in the State. The record is phe nomenal and will probably not be eqtialed in many years. E. D. Smith for United States Senator won out over John Gary Evans by a majority of about 30,000, the actual figures being, Smith, 09,318, Evans, 39,055. This was a la iJ slide which we do not >n the least regret Mr. John E. Swearingen <fb feated his oppouent., Mr. S. 11. Mellichamp by a vote of 01,286 to 48,291, the majority being 12,999. The most exciting race was that of Cansler of Tirzah aud Banks L. Caughman for Railroad Commissioner; Caugh uian winning by the narrow mar gin of 797 votes, In the election for county offi cials; I. J. McKeipie defeated W. B. Turner for Superintendent of Education, J. S. Tranlhatn is re elected Sheriff over G. Arthur Moseley, and G. Lucas Dixon is nominated for Coronor over M. G. Huckabeo. We congratulate the wholt people that,the result of the two primaries has left so few heart burnings. Naturally we, per sonally are not exactly satisfied as we lost out on several votes, but we have the satisfaction of knowing that old Kershaw coun ty will be served by as honest aud capable a set of officers us those who were retired tempo rarily. What Can Be Done In This State. Speaking of the efforts of the Department of Agriculture to stimulato interest in live stock raising in South Carolina, Hon. E. W. Dabbs, of Goodwill, Sum ter County, said Yesterday that eight years ago his little boy had been made a present of a pair of sheep. Sinco that time the increase from those two sheep had been over 25 head and they had sold $200 worth of wool and six had been killed for mutton. In addition to this many wool blan kets had been made. The value of cattle raising upon the farm was touched upon by Mr. Dabbs, too. In addition to the receipts for beef and hide, I Mr. Dabbs asserts that from every $25 worth of ootton seed meal or hulls fed tho cows, $20 is returned in manures for the farm. Then again there is tho good valuo of butter, choeso and milk.?The State, September 5. DOING THEIR DUTY Scores of Camden Readers Are Learning the Duty of the Kidneys.
