In view of the fact that the Nat- ipnpj Democratic Convention iat Hnaston this summer promises to bei a battle between the forces of A1 iSsmth and other aspirants for the Presidential nomir^ation, it would be well to jret an expression of the will •of the people of South Carolina on this very important matter a t th* rareting of the Democratic clubs ^>n thr 28th inst. This is really the only time that the rank and file of the Democracy in this State have an op portunity to express their desires in the choice of a candidate for the IVvsidcney. Let the members oT the various clubs have a full and free dis- eteuuon of the various aspirants and, rPthey see fit, instruct their dehigates to the county conventions, so that they in turn may instruct the dele- ipates to the State Convention, to the •anJ that that body may be in position ti> art in conformity with the will of the. people “back home.” e- An effort is also to be made at the 'State Convention to abrogate Rule 38, requiring all who vote in the pri- mnrips to support the National as well :as the State nominees of the party. A meeting was held ir, Columbia a *hnrt time ago by those opposed to thr nomination of a “wot” candidate acml apparently they favored the abro- xafcion of this rule, which many con trad >s the backborp of the Demo 'cn&ic party in South Carolina. It might he well for the members of the 'various clubs to express themselves «>» this matter also. -y -in the Sky -at the Speedway -on the Road The famous Buick Valve-in-Head En gine has given conclusive proof of leadership in all elements of perform- anceovetaperiodoftwenty-four years. Lindbergh, Maitland, Chamberlin, Byrd—the famous fliers of theday— use engines employing the Vafve-in- Head principle in thfir record- breaking flights. Practically every racing car entered in all the major speed classics of the past twelve years, has been Valve-in* Head equipped.

He vetoed an ap IMTipriaf ion of $10,000 to pay the salary of the President of the Univer sity of South Carolina, thereby saving at the expense of the State’s Ximm? name. Rigid economists vigor- otudy applauded this action. He has fastllyhooed considerably about various «?WTH>mic reforms to relieve the firavy burdens of the over-taxed “deer inrapul.'” v; ^ And now The Columbia Record is heartless a nd malicious as to direct atti ntlon to the fact that there has * 4>W!n purchased for the Governor’s use ai rxty costing $l,16f>. ’ Sr me w’ho are xnatbematically inclined have figured that this represents the maximum production of twenty acres of land planted in cotton—10 ha-les at approxi- matcK $100 each, with an extra $25 for the seed. Allowing for taxcis, ex- pvntes, etc., on the average two-horse farm under boll weevil condition;, it wroM bi‘ more, they figure, than the awrUia! net profit for four years. Aj^d -thwrv a re still others who are charita ble enough to assume that, in view «>f. Governor Richards’ fervent appeals to Ins constituency to use cotton "goods ir| every possible way, that most as suredly the rug is made from South Carolina grown cotton and was spun mml woven by native lab^iff the mills i/f the State. Consistency, of course, is a jewel, but it doesn’t necessarily follow as the night the day that a “good” man always makes a good goveVnor. around eight cents. Next year the Sully comer advanced the market to sixteen ednts ^nd after that there was “easing off” and “adding on” until 1919 when the price went almost to forty-four cents. ^ ^ y GASES ONCE WASTED TURNED INTO MONEY Endurance Queen! 0 Aged Bale of Cotton Sells at Greenwood J. Hir/ton sold Thursday to J. T. McLees a hale of cotton ginned twrnty-five years ago and got 19 9-16 vents a pound for it. Although it had ■bifen warehoused in a shed for *a vvoarttir of a century, the bale showed few marks of age, the bagging and beirig almost perfectly preserved oand ft was strict middling. -Mr. Hinton dates the bale’s age tn>m the fact that he planted and vr'mnul it a year before the famous Year,” and the records in J. 3. Oliver’s office show that famous year wtcr 1904. Mr. Hinton hag three more hales of the same age, but has decided to hold them awhflq longer. The old cotton has seen the mar- j Ret Tis<i and fall many times since it twbs placed in the shed at the Hin ton home. In 1903, the year it was SSsred, Mr. Hinton lays the price was Industry and Public Benefited by Chemistry. East Pittsburgh, Pa.—Modern chem istry is demonstrating that even odors can be turned into dollars and cents. Gases that have polluted the atmos- phere are now being captured and con verted into file liquids fnpLiu which they originated, to the profit of both industry and the public. Experts of therniateriaIs and process engineering department of fhe West- Inghpuse Electric and Manufacturing company decided that too many smells were going up .the chimney in the process of treating insulation with resinous materials. So they trapped the gases as fast as they were gen erated, mixed them with water and then distilled this liquid, recovering from'80 to 90 per ct*nt of the solvents used in the formula. How far chemical engineers can go in eliniiuaiing and using fumes hy liquefying them before they are dis charged into the air has not yet been determined, but experiments now un der way‘suggest that far-reaching re sults are possible. The saving already effected by the capture of used vents is said to l>e considerable.— Chemists point out, however, that recovery methods might be.too well perfected, for it is possible that some of the agents recovered from gases would themselves he difficult to de al roy.
