Many years ago we had a very poor rtar.d of cotton until very late rains brought a good stand after the first few stalks of the'late.cotton in each hill. By thus crowding the late cot ton in the drill, the late cotton opened about the same time, the thin cotton opened. ^ . We plowed all our cotton that year I until lt commenced to open and sowed j rod oate ahead of tbe last plowing which gaye jua a fair crop of oats thc next year. The intelligent application of a little common horse sense, pluck energy and faith sometimes knocks a black looking calamity into a cocked hal by brightening- things pp at the right time. ..?"?.'.'

I am glad of it; with the Tillman following, tho Blease fol lowing, and the Gonzales following all working in unison and harmony as a unit it insures Blouse's election to the senate. Well, we need infusion of new blood and gray matter In our del egation. So why not This also proves me to be a prog nosticator of the first water, and jus tillos the old adage that " a prophet is not without honor save in his own country." , * Months ago I foreshadowed this deal. When Governor Hlease and his close advisory friends, accepted tho homage of flopper John . Richards, an eleventh hour convert, and the Joint perronal candidate of Senator Till man and Gonzales, that proved it. Then later John Gary's eloquent sil ence, and the "State's" endorsement, sufficiently corroborated it. But old Ben, as usual, now puts on the cap stone, and says to the people, fear not, they are all my boys, obey your master; vote the ticket. Thia is a nice adjustment of all the "huns;" no longer..can we be re proached with '"BleaeelBra." It 1B now Tillman-Hlease-Gonzalesism, a lit tle difficult'lo handle orally but. none the lees effective politically. This sensible combine if successful is going to do good. . Jt, will eloct Blouse, and maybe Sam Nicholls and Fred Dominick, to congress. Later It can serve to make John Gary Evans federal judge, "Pussy-foot Bill" Thur mond district attorney and Henry Tillman or C. C. Wyche assistant. Al so Sheriff Gideon Long, of Union, can get thc marshatship, and appoint E. II. Aull his deputy, and another form er Blea8ltc his clerk and elect Swcar ingen to succeed Tillman. Let Smith ask Tillman's help on the second ju dicial district In time to make the ap pointments before 'the tirimary de cides who thc next senator will be. He can't get it, Tillman is obliged to stand pat. Smith corrall the federal patron age and appointed his i "Haskelllte" friends'and now Benjamin no longer loves Woodrow. Since he threatened to "read me out of the party," old Ben has progressed. He recently, with the aid of tho ever-useful May convention straddled on . Wilson's re pudiation of the platform and tdroit ly dodged the vote on the tolla repeal bill. I now welcome him into the Bleuselte fold, and if thc new iniquit ous rules do work and cut out 15,000 or 20,000 votes I expect to give him the glad hand in the "Bull Moose" herd later. It la but a short distance to go now, and the water la fine. The senator artfully ht Bes his "come out" On . the fear of a party split. Well his fears aro well found ed and be knows the signs, having waited patiently once for a "light in the west." . -1 don't think bis nigger photographs wl? altcgethoi-Nii&lr&cl people's .at tention, from the real object of-his legerdermain f .a; however at least until he explains ?< why^he voted to confirm tho appointment of a nigger to a judgeship by a southern demo cratic administration. Just watch the. jointed .snake get together; no one should be surprised for When two men have somethirrg- to exchange that thc other wants, lt is no trouble to trade. So when Mtv Laurin refused to betray his friends to defekt Blease, there was nothing to do but trade or fall. Ben never falls altogether. - ' John G. Richards ia the keystone of thin political arch; .knock the key stone out and the arch will fall. Rich ards can't be elected, nor a Blease man either; his reception into the fold hopelessly divided the host. That Is all right. The "State" boast ed that because Richards will vote for Blease that don't make bim a Blease ite, - or prove that he will carry out Blease'8 policies or reward his friends if elected. . The "State" la. eminently correct But we Bl?aslt?s have this' confutation to offset that. Because Governor Blease ls temporarily, allied with Evans, Tillman and . Gonzales does not carry assurance that after election he will carry out their poli cies, or reward, their friends either.

JOSCLS J?8HW TO BUN - Prienda May Get Hhs Into Race for the House. - "Uncle'Josh" Aehley, who bas In the past represented Anderson many years in th? house of representatives, has about decided to enter tho race this summer. A delegation of friends waited upon him Sunday and practi cally secured his . permission to use NEGROES HAD THE USUAL CUTTING Scaring Another Negro With a j Rubber Snake Caused Esco Butler a Close Call It in a rare thing for a holiday of any kind to take place in thia part of the country without a negro cutting scrape turning up sonic time during the day. This was true yesterday and Esco Butler was painfully injured last night wheu Joe Blanton worked on him with a pocket knife. It seems thal the trouble started about one week ago while services were In progress at a negro church. Butler threw u rubber snake on Blan ton at that time, almost frightening hi mto death. Blanton has been grieving over the incident ever since and yesterday he came to town for the "fofe" of July and after becoming worked up over the sights of Hie city he happened to meet his pet enemy pn the street. Then the hostilities began. After cutting Butler's wind pipe almost off. Blanton took to his heels. Officer McClellan at once ar rested Butler and Chief Lee gave chase to Blanton. He caught up with the negro near B. E. Nicholson's place in Ccntervlllo township and hauled him back to jail. Meanwhile Dr. J. C. Harris had been summoned and at tended to the other negro's injuries. I Late last night Butler was given his freedom on $10 Lund while Blan ton is still helm;; held in the city jail in lieu of a ?G0 bond. TWO ACCIDENTS DURING THE DAY Negro Boy and White Boy Run Over tn Different Parts of Town by Autos (From Sunday's Dlaly.) So far as was known around town last night only two accidents occured tn Anderson yesterday. A negro boy was run over by an automobile near the Orr mills yesterday, the machine passing entirely over the boy's body, but fortunately he was not much in jured. The man driving the machine picked the boy up quickly and brought him to town whore medical attention was given and lt was discovered that he was not badly .hurt. A youngster riding a bicycle was run over on the public square yester day afternoon by. an automobile but he was struck a. glancing blow by the machine and he suffered bul little damage. His bicycle was considerab ly torn up but the man driving the car gave him $5 and doubtless the boy was<glad.that the accident occurred. With- ?.hese two. exceptions the police department had heard of no further accidents yesterday. This ls a remarkable record for the day, since, there were dozens of out of-town automobiles and hundreds of buggies here for the- day and. every Anderson man boasting ot a machine bad it out for airing during the day. .?TRAINING AT A GNAT ' SWALLOWING A CAMEL" ' Chemical analysts of coffee, tea and Qoca-Cola as served in the home, at restaurants and at soda fountains, shows that coffee and tea contain ap proximately twice as much caffeine as does Cora-Coin. In other words, two glai ses of Coca-Cola are approx imately equivalent to one cup of cof fee or tea BO far as the amount of caffeine ls concerned. ; Tho only other material difference in chemical composition is that both tea and coffee contain tannie acid, a r. ?bst ance, found quite generally In plants, whereas Coca-Cola does not. Coca-Cola may therefore be describ ed as an "Improved Caffeine-contain ing beverage" in which the tannie acid has been loft out, the caffeine re duced In quantity and a delightful combination of fruit flavors* added. ?Po use tea or coffee and eschew Coca Co fa ls therefore a case of "straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel." .Chamberlain's Colle, Cholera and .

Cheshire's Comments ? o Tells of Things He Hears o o and Sees o ooooooooooooooooo Editor Thc Intelligencer. America, from its first settlement, has been advertised to the world as ! the "home of the free, and the land of the brave." "It pays to advertise" and this advertisement has been the cause of bringing to this new country hundreds of thousands of liberty lov ing men and women-who hy their intelligence and labor have help ed to form an empire of freemen and whose descendants have proven most loyal and patriotic citizens. But of la'e years there have been many dissensions among our people and trivial at first, but canatantly growing-which have finally ass med a character that bodes no good for a liberty loving republic. Failing to de.feat Blease two years ago with all thc election machinor at his command. Sta".* '".-airman John Cary Evans hit upon a plan that will lose Blease thousands of votes in tile coming election. Not satisfied with new club lists, the voter Is re quired to sign hiB full name and give a complete account of himself from the day he Was born, lt is claimed that the new rule is as fair to ooc side as to thc other. Nobody belevcs this. The banker and thc merchant (as a rule anti-Blease), read the daily pa pers and are familiar witli all tho re quirements of the new-primary laws. Not so with tho farmer, laborer and mill operative. Many are not readers of papers and would not have thc time to read if they were subscribers. As a rule, the secretaries of the clubB over the state are antl-Bloa-e and I am told that when a Blease man calls to sign the club book and signs only his initials that some secretaries laugh In their sleeves and never tell the voter that he must sign his full name. It has bceri^charged that many secretaries keep their club books bid from Blease men and put them off with such excuses: "Oh. I left the book at home. I'll bring it up to mor row." And tomorrow never comes unless the Blease voter flatly de mands his rights. I heard one Blease voter say that it was necessary for 'him to threaten to do bodily harm to a certain secre tary in order to get his name on the club book, ({ow, thia bsn't right and If this method Is continued, will result in another Wade Hampton revolu tion. ' ? ? ' To show thc indifference voters are displaying in the matter of enrolling their names on club books, I was In Pelzer on the 4th and was told that al though that precinct'*voted several hundred-more ' than any other one point out side the city of Anderson, only about 60 voters futU enrolled their names, ' They have-on^y a few days nntl! the 25th' sf this month-in which to do so. This is only a! fair sample of conditions existing all over the state and thousands of good citizens will sleep over their rights and not get to vote on August 25th. When one views the absolute apathy -the colossal, sud consummate <ndif ferenco which the average voter ex hibits In the selection of public offic ials it ls distressingly astounding. The rural voter ia a busy man works nix day? in a week-goeB to church on Sunday, hears a sermon on temperance-returns home, feeds the stock, and goes to bcd. He bas no time to study politics and many leave that to the professional politician. While he, is plowing his land, or har vesting his crop the political slate maker is as busy ar a Jackass in ? hail storm, picking out the candidates to fill each office-trading one for an other, but always retaining some one friendly to his own plans and schemes. Every public official is elected hy the people, otherwise he would not hold the office. The trouble is, thc average man alts down and permits thc politicians to select the candidates and makes no protest until it ls too late to put in the man of his choice. It does no good to kick then. Just as long as thia prevails, the people are at the mercy of political schemers and slate-makers -and mon will be elect ed who will be the toola of the men who put them forward and secured thom the Job. This 1B natural and pe culiarly human-so it need not as tonish anyone. Already the woods are full of gub ernatorial timber. Some of it ls good -very good-and lots of it is not worth cutting. It is not wise for the average man to commit himself to vote for any curtain candidate until he "fooks over" the men and weighs the merits of each one'carefully. They permit themselves to become pledged to support either Major Teetotaler, a prohibitionist, or Colohel Twoo.uarts. an ant I-prohibit lon ist '(as tho voter happens to'prefer), when tn fact neither the major or the colonel hold the slightest claim to the office. Their sole qualification consista in the fact that the major has discontinued the use of whiskey because it makes him sick-and- lt makes the colonel sick when he falls'to get his booze. Whether -Smith or 'Blease goes 'to the senate, we want to see a success ful fight made on those negroes hold ing federal positions in the different government buildings as wall as a law enacted that will bar a negro from being 'an officer In the regular army. Don't macy people down this way know that there are many negro lieu tenants and captains in tho regular army and that when they pass a white private, it le necessary for' tho white man to salute thc negro officer,, wbioh ia nothing moro or loss than raising hts hat. tb .alegro man. When a white private, fallt? to salute his negro su perior officer, be ls orrcrted and re primanded. ' We have heard much about negroes- working in ' the wash ington government building* side by ilcr simps in th? regular ormv. Thc negro office* I?; a colossal misfit. Th<? average "egro soldier ha? as little re spect fur his hlach superior as his ancestors in the African Jungles huva for a hath. An editorial In The Detroit Free PresB says: "The amazing statement from the south that nine-tenths of the Federal employes there are negroes, because they are better educated than the whites, and thus more likely to gel through the civil service examina tions, furnishes a striking commen lary on the effect of the "grandfather lawr" which the whiten of the south ern states adopted to eave themselves from negro dom lim; ion by "he over whelming number of negroes. Hui it Is a result wb!;:h was predicted by many farsighted statesmen at the time thc?? laws were adopted." The above statement ls nol true. It is just one of those plain, barefaced iles, which originate in the degener ate brain of those nigger-hugging northern spite-writers, who lind ir impossible to rctnrd southern pro gr?s?-, and vent their spleen in at tempting to harass the south by agi tating the race question. Just keep on hugging the odoriferous coon to your bosom, and thc south will manage its own affairs. A copy of the Detroit Free Press contains a picture of a big back greasy buck negro, dressed in a foot ball costume. Underneath the picture it ir stated this is a picture of "(J. E. Smith, tackle of the great Michigan Agricultural College." The balance of tho team are white men-or sup pored to be To u man born und rais ed in the south-the home of the ne gro-the idea that a white football team would have a negro as a member seems Just as strange ae it would bo to find a pig in a parlor. Still, in Michigan, white men seem to enjoy (he delicate aroma peculiar to the Af rican, and he ls admitted to white so ciety on terms of social equality. What a pity wo can't ship a few car loads of good, nice, fat. Juicy coons to De'roit. and Introduce one into each white home to be used as a sachet bag for these very astute and aesthet ic Michiganders. One real good ripe southern com field coon (pulled about July or August) ought to be a strong card if introduced into a Michigan home, and kept In a warm place. I am B?rry for thc negro who lives in the north and ls compelled to asso ciate with such white Bcrubs. Of course a man can go to hell on foot, but he cart make the trip quicker in an automobile. It seems like an in po.<t;it?llty for tho white man to ever please the negro. Special cars have been rot aside for the exclusive use of the negro and making It a penalty for a white mau to ride in them. The negro Bays it ls a discrimination. The negro's sole ambition is to Jam himself right up against the white man, no matter whether his presence is agreeable or not. A white man would be to? *?roud to ' force himself on the negro, nut when nature made the negro, she left out pride, and flited the hole with Im pudence. Hov. John Balay, the negro preach er who performed the marriage cere mony for Jack Johnson, the negro pugilist, and his white wife, ls dead. Thank*-'. There are some Anderson county people who are anxious for Jack and his fair mud lark to visit this section; and they no doubt would receive a warm reception. He is promised an exciting time and we guarantee when he gets through with his vlplt, ho will quit the ring, get a divorce and travel as valet for Jere Lillis. Sam Nicholle, of dictagraph fame, who is running for congress in the 4th dlbtrict. is about the smoothest political banana peel on the whole sidewalk. South Carolina voters shouldn't get excited. No matter who I? elected governor or senator, you will have to woik Just as many hours to earn your six bits, as you did under each pre ceding administration. Don't get ex cited. Keep cool. Airo keep thc low er half of your shirt well under cover. No matter whether the next gover nor is pro or anti, you won't raise any more oats, corn or cotton. By pat ience and industry you may possibly raise more children, but that's all the raise you will get-except the usual raise In the tax rate. I wouldn't try to raise hell. South Carolina already hat? a surplus-and will continue to have it-BO long as the, people refuse to diversify their crops, and sow nothing but pro and anti Johnson Rim In the meantime remember what I told you about your Bhirt. A Greenville negro drank a quart of whiskey in six minutes on a wsgor and dropped dead instantly. I know a number of good old tomato-nosed booze busters who can drink twice that much every day and are still ablo to march up to the polls like gentle men and vote a straight prohibition ticket.. When a. little gang of Interested politicians can mr.?'. in council and select a governor for a state like South Carolina, I see no need for an election. That's tho way they play the game In Mexico; so. why not Huertatze South Carolina? When a ,nan signs a legal paper of any description he is not required to sign his full name-bis initials being sufficient. The political bosses cer tainly "put one over" on the common poeple In the new enrollment rules by Inducing them to place their bare aecks beneath the elimination guillo tine. That ls the rawest piece of po litical chicanery ever, pulled off In South Carolina. And will the people stand for lt? Not on your Ufo. Victor B. Cheshire. Anderson, S. C., July-6. 1*14.
