Th?1 visitors were amazed to lind Anderson as big. as substantial and as progr?'ssiv?' a ?'itv as il is. There is in the organization of i Klks the potentiality for doing great good in the way ol benevolence ami charity. Th?' Klks do a great deal of charily that is known only to them-i selves. The tenets of their order are not given to the world, but ll is ob served among other things that they arc tuughi to feel a deep reverence ror th? flag of their country, that they have a regard, approaching uffectlon for each other, ami for th?' world at large they have a consideration that is admirable, Anderson ls glad to have had the Klks of the State here, through their repres?'ntatlves. ami the people of An derson In saying ?rond-bye to these Jolly, good fellows, would suggest to them to keep ever forward their dec- | laratlon to make Hie world a better place in which to live; to make smoother the pathway of those whose lives are lacking in happiness and in cheer. There, ls much to be done to make this old world brighter and happier, and it must be done through organizations of one kind and an other. At the same time happiness is not merely pleasure, am. there 1B more in the world than merelv existing to get the phantom of frivolity when the sub stance of whole-souled Joy may he found In the contact and association with men of heart, of preceptlon, of breedth of idea and depth of senti ment. THE FARMER'S HL'RREN. There was once a belief that clay poisoned the land, freshly turned clay. Farmers wir now* eiripfoy scien tific means know that a little clay ad ded to the top soil every year ia the greatest kind of help to the soil. To plow too deeply might not actually in jure the soil but would not do lt good, they say. In using deep plowing methods, farmers add a little each year ?to the depth of the turning and this keeps the clay and the original top soil well mixed. There ls a great deal to be learned about farming. A few years ago when one wished to speak with con tempt of another he would Bay "that farmer," but today call a man a far mer ls to pay him a high compliment Indeed. This is the day when farming ls n science, and like the study of the stars aud like other great sciences, lt ia a simple story, but there ls much to be learned about farming every day, even by those who plume themselves on their wisdom. * The farmer of today ls the most In dependent man In the world, when he geta himself out of debt. The reason that the-funner of the south was for so many years oppressed is because when the war ended there were no farm animals; there was' no money; the planting season was on. there was no seed; there was no fertiliser; several ' planting seasons had gone by and thc land was untouched, and waa growing up in gullies and briar patch es and scrub pine. When we look around us today at the rise of the south from the ashes of poverty to the raiment of prosperity how marvelous is the change. It has come step by step and so many battles liave had to be fought, battles that j wrung the blood from the heart of many a high spirited man whom death and danger In battle could not affect. With the use of the negro and the mule, the Southern farmer has been able to stay the ad van ci of land de cay and the depression of/peverty. To day the south is the most beautiful land under the sun. Today her pos sibilit?s are unlimited. Today the men of the south are resting at thc top of the first steep asocnt from .thc foot of the hill and wiping their brows they ore looking forward down a vista of peace and plenty with a vis ion of the proudest people In the world. . . There ts a vast uncreated wealth in the soil of the south and the farmer of today with his common sense added to by the scientific in struction gained from years, of trial and the experience of others Is the man upon whose shoulders rests the destiny of the next several hundreds of years. Go forward and upward. Now would be a good time for the Postal Telegraph Company to estab lish an office here. The Western Union's business ls growing and ls In good bands. ?'IIE STATE CAMPAIGN Th*' campaign for ht ut? offices am] for thu United States senate ls on. Mut little id<*a of whut the drift will be can be gathered from the first iiieetliiga. Tlie candidates for the op ening meetings usually have set speeches, and after thut show great divergence. This paper, in an effort to give In formation to the publie, requested in advance of the leading candidates for odien sotiiH statement ?ts to their plat forms, etc., as set forth in their op ening speeches. We have them here In the office, some received too late for ?uhlication. an i we did not care to publish some ? thout the others. Another dr; whack to the publica tion has been the volume of text of the speeches. Governor Blease. for instance, has a speech covering about 14 columns in the paper. It is our intention to print lt in full when the campaigning party reaches this city, unless In the meantime lie has changed it material ly. Or, if we get an opportunity, we may publish it at un earlier date, along with those of the other candi dates for the same office. Cut the me chanical facilities of any office would bc taxed to print these addresses In full. We would have liked to have printed the speeches of Mr. Jennings and Mr. Pollock also, as these gen tlemen are new in the campaign and there has been much speculation UR to what they would have to say. This paper was one of the very few that printed in full the speech of Gov ernor idease at Walterboro when he unofficially opened his campaign and wc offered the columns to Senator Smith for one of his speeches. "We will try to give all of the candidates a fair showing, and that 1B all that we can do and all that they can wish. --?? 'The Orangemen ' Favored Smith ( Continued Trout page 1) getting $20 more a bale, but are av eraging .1. million more bales of cot ton each year " .Tho. ,$enutor read again a parallel atatemcit of the prices paid for cot ton during the last two decades and the .number of bales raised each year, . lty this he demonstrated thjit, cotton brought on an average of but 8 1-2 cents a pound from 1914 un til 1904 and an average of 12 1-2 from 1904 to 1914. In South Carolina alone, which averages one million bales a year, Senator Smith showed that $200,000, 000 had been brought to the cotton planters of South Carolina since his activities with tho cotton movement. Cotton Exhibit. "That exhibit," said he. "which is creating as much interest aa a new bird at the zoo is the block of bleach ed and unbleached samples of cotton, that by a provision tn one of my cot ton bills, will be placed on all thc cotton platforms of the South." This . will enable the producer to compare .his. own cotton with the government's standardization of grades and deter mine Just what grading lie is growing on the market." The samples are being handed out from the stand to the farmers for inspection, as the party passes from county to county, and they are proved to be excellent documentary evi dence. The party goes to St. George to night, where the candidates will speak to the Dorchester county vo ters tomorrow. SVVEEDISH SAILOR FREED BY COURT (Continued from Page 1.) bum of prisoners' portraits and asked if he could find anybody in it he re membered. As soon as he came on Rogers' protrait he said: "That's one of the men I drank with at Nagasaki." The real Rogers served ayear in San Quent! for forgery. When re leased he won the interest of Captain Robert Dollar, a merchant of San Francisco, who r,ent him to China aa a clerk. Soon Rogers was posing as Oe ptain Dollar's son. He began to pasn bad checks, was caught and con victed and sentenced to three years in San Quentin. An officer of the rourt was to have taken him to Naga saki where he was to be placed on the Sheridan. At that point the fact ends, and theory begins. The belief ot federal officers is that Rogers got his guardian drunk, poured a drug into Johansen's drink, personally delivered him late at night on board the Sheridan, turn ing over to a petty officer of the ship the papers ho had atolen from the drunken deputy and receiving in per son the acknowledgment for his own delivery. Peter A. Rogers, alias Grimes, con victed forger, who is believed to have drugged Johansen In Nagasaki and substituted tbe Norwegian sailor for himself before his transfer under guard to the transport Sheridan, has been apprehended near Nagasaki hy Japaneso a ithorlties and is in custody, according to information received from Washington by United States District Attorney John W. Preston late today. First In Canal. Panama.

Whllo the American delegates have not entirely lost hope.of the possibility of a change in sentiment at tomor row's meeting th? general feeling was dat mediation could not last. much longer because of the irreconciliable position now taken by the American and Huerta delegates in public state ments.
