NO LIQU IN EL The Law Is Specific and the Pun' ed Dropped Out of the Race. Early in the summer Governor Ulease offered u reward of $1,000 for evidonce to convict 10 persons of vio lations of the election laws. Thlfc proclamation was printed in The in telligencer. This paper has repeatedly called attontion to the fuel that one viola tion of theso laws is to bet on tho elections. This Is punishable by a fine of $600. . Another violation of the election laws is to une 1 lu nor in elections. We have hoard that there wus quite a lot of drinking here on the day that the candidates for stale offices spoke mid that lluor wa< given away Tho object of this publication is merely to put tho/people on notice as to what the law Is rather than to make complaint of what has happened. Tho election law of 1905 states In section 1: Section 1, Be It enacted by (he General Assembly of Mouth Care lluai At or before nny political primary election held by nny po litical party, organization or as sociation, for the purpose of choosing candidates for office, or the election of doicgatcH to con ventions, In (his State, any per? non; who Nhnll, by threat h or any . other form of Intimidation, or by ? t -. ? 6 O'O'O ooooooooooo o UNCLE DAVE'S LETTER, o O'vMy :; * ' .' , ' -, O .0 0000000000000300 improving ?ho County mir. "Uncle Jim" Wilson, who was once Cncl? o??i'? ti??? f?ri??r, HOW pfO poocB to ubo tho county fairs of tho country as the chiof disseminators of tho gOBTUd of tho new agriculture. Ho 1 has fcritton a booklet of about thirty Sages on tho subject of ''Agricultural air. Associations and Their utiliza tion In Agricultural Education and Improvement." .In his Introductory remarks, Mr. Wilson Boys: Now that a systematic effort is bo is ing made by tho agricultural coll?ge? and. experiment stations, as well as by tho state and national departments of agriculture to carry agricultural : instruction to the great body of rural : neople, tho importance of having ef ficient local agencies in eaoh commu nity through which to operate is be ing roalised as never before. There nro In this country today over 1,400 county fair associations With 250,000 members. Their groas re ceipts annually are about $6,500,000 .sud their expenditures tor premiums tre nearly $2,500,000. It Is estimated that 16,000.000 people attended the ex hibitions of those organisations last year. In addition there are twenty " ''Biete associations which held fairs 1. it year, having an aggregate at tendance of 1,700,000. While giving ';he fairs, credit for all the good it 'oos done,. Mr. Wilson thinks it could do a great deal more. He says that "Its" activities need to be redirected cm enlarged to'fit the fair associa tion .of today to take-advantage of the opportunities for rural betterment that He before it." He insists that, t. first of all, the fair must be loyal to its own constituency and the agrlcul .'. iura! public, and must not be severed from'serving them in the most effect ive, way, by .any influence promising great financial returns. He suggests these things as of fIrai Imnnrtannn. Th? basis of the fair should go ex - hlhlts from tho farm, tho garden, the household, forest products, agricultu ral ' implemon-ts, models of country homes and schools. Disinterested exports nominated by the' state acr(cultural colleges should Judgo all exhibits. Contests in .crop production, ani mal breeding and feeding and other agiaMltural operations should bo or ganised early In the year, tho results to be exhtbf'ed ai Ike fstr. Suitable entertainments uhould be provide', for patrons of the lair, but thoy .mould hot bo allowed to inter fe^j with the main exhibition and the More serious purposes of tho fair. All disreputable shows, gamblinr devices and loud, coarse fakers with monstrosities to exhibit should be rightly excluded from the grounds. Nothing that the. most refined and modest woman might not see and hear should be admitted. Mr. Wilson is full of things that should bo soon at the fairs. He sug gests: - ? Certain stated periods 'eaoh day should be devoted to demonstrations to be held at different places on the v,-' ; grounds. These demonstrations might ^ . h? the packing of fruit, th? use of the B?boock test; spraying operations, in cluding tho mixing of sprays as well . es their application: killing, dressing and packing poultry for market, sani tary;, handling of ro,(;k; transplanting, / budding and pruning trees; seed se lection; germination tests; laying ont Cand planting gardon plats; stock - fudging; canning, preserving and drying fruits; 'cheese making; butter making, testing agricultural. machin r:/>y-e>y; disinfecting rooms, stables and clothing; conducting cooking, dress v making and millinery schools; demon stration plat work; plowing matches And:similar contest". .Compliance with the recommenda ; Uon ?of Mr. Wilson , certainly would enhance . the Interestand usefulness . ofajali the county fairs. No other In stitution affords such an opportunity for . bringing together those engaged or'Interested In ' agricultural produc tion. As upon it la mainly based the OR ECT?ONS shment Is That a Candidate Must .* Si w. the payment, delivery or promise of money, or other urtlrle of value, procure or offer, promise or promise or endeavor to pro cure, another to vote for or ugain*t nny particular candidate in Mich election, or who shall, for Mich consideration, offer to Mo vote, (?hall be guilty of a misde meaner. Section 2 of the above act provkica that every candidate muat file pledge, and that failure to do ho will result In that candidate's name being I thrown out of the election. Tbu pledge which the candidate must sign Is as | follows, in part,? "I hereby pledge that I will not give nor spend money, or use Intoxicating Honors for the pur pose of obtaining or influencing votes and that I shall, at the con clusion of the campaign and be fore the primary elections, render to the Clerk of Court or (Secre tary of State as hereinbefore pro vided) under oath, an itemized statement or all money spent or provided by me during tho cam paign," etc. Section 3 of the act provides that the penalty for violation .of the pro visions of this act shall not be less I than $100 or more than $G00. There Ib | a special act with rcferenco to per jury. cost of living, every citizen of this | country 1b interested In It. Tho pros cnt prices of all farm commodities prove tho necessity for increased pro duction because it is the best place I to demonstrate the Innumerable ] ways in which the farmer may in crease his products with the mint mum of expense, the county fair I should^ be brought up to the standard aimed at by Mr. Wilson. Home, If all the words In the English lan guage, or any other language, or all tho languages, could be reflected upon one vast scroll to our wondering gaze, none would so aprc&l to our heart, sink into its dep'.Us and glvo us that glad, swoot fooling of rcfug* and rest as that little familiar word, Home. Around it ore associated the dearest memories of childhood, the sacred memorios of mother and fathers 8ome one has said, that to Adam-"Paradise was home," and to all. his good de scendants home has been popullse ever since.

[ BAKER REPLIES TO WYATT AIKEN (Political Advertisement.) Office of the Sccretury. United States Senate, James M. Baker. Secretary. Washington, D. C, Aug. 19. 1914. To the Editor of tho Anderson Intel ligencer, Anderson, S. C. Dear Sir: Mr. AI ken's labored reply to my ar ticle ot August 8th calls for a brief answer. All the assertions made in his t rtlclo about me personally and' my personal affairs were fought out here in the senate secretaryship contest. They were brought to the attention of Senator Tillman by other senators? I Mr. Alken ncvor mentioned them to the senator himself?and Senator Tillman investigated them to his en tiro satisfaction before my name was presented to tho caucus. I placed be t?re the Democratic caucus sworn statements from the .records to an swer Mr. Aikon's charges, and my election followed, which was a com plete'answer-to tjvevy one ?f them. His venomous ahuso ? wilt treat with contempt. He is un the: defensive be fore the voters, and not' I. His fight against me, based on, malice and false hood, was made and lost. Let him now defend his own record : Mr. Alken donles. in his article, that he made tho ,Martino statement. Why Is it, that he called <apott Senator (Martine of New - Jersey last Friday afternoon, in the room' of the senato committee on post offices and post ; roads, and appealed to the senator to give him a letter denying the state ment he made about me m the secre taryship contest? Senator Martine re fused to give him any suol letter, as I had previously read the utato ment to tho senator as published, and on this point I submit the following* af fidavit: ?, .. .? // City of Washington, District of Columbia. Personally appeared before me Thomas W. Keller, .Who, being duly sworn, says: That ho has read the lettor of James M. Baker, dated August 8, 1914, and published In the Her ald and News of Newberry, S. C, jj on August 11, 1914; that Mr. Alken not only made,, the stato i mont to . Senator Martine that "Baker went through, bankruptcy proceedings- in the courts d/iwn South and swindled hits creditors out t>f everything he owed them." hut tn other senators, , who mads inquiry of him about the truth of Mr. < Alken's statement,. THOMAS W. KELLER. Assistant Doorkeeper United States Senate. Sworn to before me. this the 16th day of August, 1914. . , R. B. NIXON. (Seal) Noury Public: I My commission expires Decem r her 18th. 1915." There 1b ample data on Mr! ^Alken's personal and private record, bat I havo refrained from discussing his personal affairs, as* it would tend to divert the attention of the voters from the issue, namely; his public record. Which Is a proper abject for discus sion, and ho cannot escape answering for. his !n co m potency and neglect ot public duty. The lettei that he secured from tho members of the ways and means com mittee of the 62d congress, and pub lished by him shows that'he declined the chairmanship of the committee on the District of Columbia,' which honor um. was entitled to. i no hate or this letter, which was April 24, 1913, shows that It was'secured by'him : for the purpose of whitewashing h la record. I He said, In his soeech at Newberry. that ho voted for the pure food bill when It came back to tho house from 'the senate. After I proved from tho ! record that ho did not vote .for it, ho now says that ho was abstint Mr. Alken also charged me With I quoting the record inaccurately. Hero Is the statement of an officer of the government, who has ho .Interest in these controversies, that; the record Is correct as published by rue in . the Herald and News on August 11: City of Washington, District of Columbia. Person Ry appeared before mo W. C. Llcuallen, who being duly sworn, says: g . That he has read th? letter of James M. Baker, dated August 8. 1914. and published in the ljerald and News of Newberry, 8. C, on August .tl, 1914; that he has ex amined th? Congressional 'Hecord and compared all the: ?aotaMons cited in said statement thei^from, '.jr'.Ma?lSUl?r..< and flndB them to be correct as published. W. G. LIEUALLEN. j Acting Librarian, United Status ! Seuato. Sworn to before me, this the 15th day of August, 1914. It. B. NIXON, (Seal) Notary Public. My commission expires Decem ber 18th. 1916." Mr. Alken states, in his article, that "liaker was elected secretary of the > senate as a sort of consolation prize to Senator Tillman. Senator Tlllmau wanted to be chairman of the com mittee on appropriations, and his col leagues were not willing for him to have It." By reference to The Wash ington Post of March 9, 1913, It ap pears that the Democratic caucus nominated me for secretary of the senate on. March 8, 1913. The caucus committee did not begin considering the chairmanships of committees un ! til March 10. 1913, and tho announce ment of the selections for the chair manships of the committees was not 1 made until March 15, 1913, which was 1 a week after my election. Sco Tho Washington Post of March 15. 1913. page 1, column 1. These facts and dates from the record prove that Mr. Alken has made another false state ment. In conclusion, let tue voters of the Third District take the words of 1 Speaker Champ Clark, as quoted by Mr. Aiken: "Men should not ho sent i to congress simply to gratify their own personal ambition, but because they can be of service. Having proved that they are of service, wisdom dic tates that they continue to bo of ser vice." Apply hlB language to Mr. Aiken's proven record of incompo tency and neglect of public d*ty, and wlrdom dictates that he should be defeated. B"^pectfully, JAS. M. BAKER. ooooooooooooooonoo** o n 0 JENNINGS ON ANDREWS o n p oooooooonoonoooonoo .Manning, Aug. 12.?Upon rejoining thd campaign party here Wednesday, j Hon. Lang D. Jennings, mayor of Sumter, made a scathing denuncia tion of the treatment he had received at .the '.sands of tho mayor of a sister city, Georgetown, when W. H. An drews, manager of a corporation con trolling the Umber of Interests of nearly the entire section of the state, had permitted Mr. Jennings to be treated outrageously by employes of th? company. Mr. Jennings' Introduction was de layed a few minutes by the daily ex odus Incident to the governor's de parture from tho stand. Ho called at-: tention to the largo number of ne groes in the crowd - - f eRowteg the governor, saying, perhaps they were a "part 'of tho 900 he's turned out." There were more tban 100 negroes in the audience during the day. In expressing his resentment of the discourtesy shown him in Georgetown Monday and in denouncing Mayor An drews, Mr. Jennings declared .that some years ago whc. Georgetown was threatened with an uprising of tho negroes, the mayor of that city called on the.may or of Sumter for as sistance but said the speaker, . when the mayor of Sumter tried to make a speech in Georgetown, the mayor tho city and the chief of police sat on the stand and smlltd at the howling down of .Sumter's mayor. Mr. Jennings Bald he had heard of Governor Blcase's machine, but had never seen it in operation until he went to Georgetown. He declared that notwithstanding Governor Blcase's 1 constant abuse of corporations, one of the governor's greatest supporters Is in charge of tho biggest corporation In South Carolina that "has robbed more people" than any other, "I mean the Atlantic Coast Lumber Cor poration," said the speaker, who add ed that a "bunch of Western Yan kees," who have been here long enough to vote, can't run South Caro lina like they do Georgetown. Blease and Blind Tigers. The speaker said that blind tigers bnow they bave a friend in the gov ernor's office and, like the rabbit and .'the bull dog, are so bold that they do not hesitate "to spit in the law's face." Mr. Jennings declared he had never j heard records so misused as they have been by Governor Blease, proceeding to a discussion of the one mill school tax, for which Governor Blease claim ed credit. The speaker declared that, although the governor did recommend such a tax when tho l?gislature pass ed tho bill, the governor vetoed it, and tho measure was passed over the veto this, said Mr. Jennings, not be ing told by the governor. Mr. Jennings said the governor had been romping aJI over the state fool ing, the people, but that "his bluff is called now." Daring a discussit t or the govern or's pardon record, Mr. Jennings said the' Executive would make a good senator for "Andrews and that bunch down st Georgetown," Sulding, "I would Just as leave have Andrews rep sent mo In tho senate." ' '-'.Mr. Jennlbgb, to loud applause, closed by reading the following: Ohe night I laid me down to sleep. In peace and ease to dwell; And dreamed I saw a mighty horde . Go rushing on to hell. I stood and gazod upon the' scene, Bereft of peace and ease. And asked an Imp the leader's nomt; He told me?"Cole L. Blease." '.. I said to him, "Turn back turn back, And with good people dwell;" "No, no," said .he. "we're going down To torn loose all in hell. ?Our band is how twleve/ hundred strong) . V. We know our leader well;, Just get up a petition? He'll free the whole of hell."

BILLS BEFORE THE SENATE Washington, Aug. 19?Diversity of views as to the exemption of labor and agricultural organizations from the operations of anti-trust laws blocked j th? progress of the Clayton anti-trust bill In the Senato today. The. only I vote taken resulted in striking out the bill as it came from tho House, the provision exempting consumers' or ganisations. Senator McCumbor attacked the labor and' agriculture! exemptions as ; class legislation. Senators Hollls and Hughes replied,' the latter asserting {that the Republican party In;its pro I toctive tantrs had been noted for pass I tng class legislation. Senator Borah urged the folly of 1 j limiting the power of the courts to] grant injunctions In labor disputes. He cited the attempts made in West! Virginia and Colorado to sottie labor! disputes by bloodshed instead of by j the courts: Senator Cummins announced bel j would offer a substitute for the para-j graph exempting labor and agricultur al organizations. Baser Bes?ed? (By Associated Press.) Washington, August 19.?Jose. Cas tellot, who ' represented Provisional I President Carbajal In Washington | during'the latter's brief term of of fice in Mexico, Issued a statement to day denying, that Carbajal had, made overtures to ? the American govern ment to rend American troops to Mexico City. Government officials de* clin ed to discuss the report which was based on message? of a week ago from persons In Mexico who claimed to be speaking for Carbajal. o o -o FROM SEPTUS o o o oooooooooooooo Septus, Oug. 19.?We have in days gone by voted for coat-tail owingers but we have repented, our Bins have boon forgiven and never again are we going to vote for a man that bus to be pulled Into office by the other fel low. Wo are sick of coat-tall swinging, we arc sick of seeing candidates hav ing to declare themselves either for or against some other candidate be fore the voter can decide whom he wants for office. Regardless of polit ical affiliation we are going to try and vote for the best men for office and when we do this we will have ho remorse of conscience since we will have done bur duty as we eaw it. Of course we may make ?orne mis takes but it will be of the head and not of the heart. Let's vote for measures and not for men and in the meantime don't tie on to the fellow who makes too many promises. It seems that there were quite a number of men in front of tbe spealp ler's stand last Monday who expected [sooner or later to go to the penttcn ! tiary from tho way they tried to cry down Mendel L. Smith when he was giving them to understand that If elected governor he would be very careful with the pardoning power en trusted to him.
