ROSS I). YOPNO, County Treasurer. October 2, 1012.?td. PEEPLES NOMINEE FOR ATT'Y GENERAL Fr?ser Lyon, Terror to Grafters, Goes Down before New and Inexperienc ed Man. Columbia, Oct. 18.?The State dem ocratic executive committee met to day and declared Thomas H. Peeples the nominee for attorney general. The official count was: Peeples) 28,447; J. Fr?ser Lyon 22,107. Five counties did not make any report, and In many instances It was reported that no pro vision for voting was made. Lynn's Statement? Columbia, Oct. 18.?Attorney Gen eral Lyon tonight issued the follow ing statement: "I wish to thank the people of South Carolina for the honors they have given me during the past six years. I am deeply grateful for the confidence and trust they have repos ed in me, and to the press of the state I take this opportunity of say ing that when my labors for what I conceived for the public good seemed vain It was the encouragement of that great power, always exected for civic righteousness, that gave me strength and determination to press forward and attain whatever of good I may have accomplished. This Not Time to Despair. "J firmly believe that with the ef forts of such an incorrupt and in corruptible press as our state is now blessed with respect for law and a full appreciation of good government will (Inally prevail. I also admonish every lover of law and order that th is not the time to despair. We should press toward the goal with renewed energy. "To those who gave me their con iider.ee in tnis summer's pilmarios I extend my slnecrest thanks, and to those who were not my supporters I. with equal sincerity, say that 1 hope your actions will prove for the best interests of the state we all love." The state democratic executive committee refused to re-open the con test against the nomination of Sen ator TlMmon. which was brought by N. B. Dial and W. Jasper Talbert. the opposing candidates, on the grounds that he had not properly filed his expense account. Mr. Dial appeared before the committee and asked that the matter be reopened. It was brought out that the committee had already considered the merits of the case dnd had dismissed the petition at a meeting held several weeks ago. Mr. Dial explained to the committee that he had not been notified person ally of the meeting of the committee when the contest was considered, and that he thought that the contest had boon dismissed because of a lack of prosecution. John N. Drake, of Marlboro, was named as a presidential elector at large to take the place of Dr. K. C. Doyle, of Oconee, who was disquali fied because of a position of trust. On motion of John J. McMahan, the secretary of the committee was In structed to inform the president' electors of the requirements.

There Is an old saying that "al work and no pluy makes Jack a dull bay." Tho farmer who has been hard at work all year needfl his recrea tion, so doos the workmen and the morchant. By common consent tho time and place of rocreatlon Is at the State fair. It Is the opportunity where the farmer and merchant can get now Ideas as V?ll as have a rood time. This year the State fair will be held from October 28 to Novem ber 2. There Is no need to go Into tho detailed programme, suffice It to say that every day and every hour of the week will be occupied with varied attractions. If flne cattle and horses have no interest there will be football and theatres, and If pickles are of no moment then there will be flower* Md fruit displays. The people of v>e State appreciate and realize the efforts that president J. Arthur Banks and his coworkera are making to give a fair that will command State-wide Interest. The State Is prospering and that accounts for the unusual Interest being taken In the fair to be held October 28 to November 2. .

The Charlotte Dally Observer in commenting upon a recent editorial In The Dally Mall on the matter of circus history In South Carolina, mis understood one statement that we made. The Observer Inferred that AI | Field's conversion to democraiy was due to "The finest exhibition of horse manship he ever saw, given right in the ring by no less a personage than Gen. Wade Hampton." We may have got our comparatives and superlatives mixed, but the meaning that we in tended to convey was that Mr. Field had never seen In the ring?either In the old tan bark days or in the mod ern saw-dust days?any liner exhibi tion of horsemanship than that of Gen. Hampton. In the good old days before the large plantations were bared by the scythe of war, Gen. Hampton had as fine a stable of racing horses at ever was bred in this" country. He was a thoroughbred himself, and was in the saddle as soon as he could walk. It was natural for Hamilton to be a rider, for his grandfather before him was one of the most famous riders and masters of woodcraft In the then virgin country. And Col. Wade Hampton, the second of the name, rode all the way from New Orleans to Columbia, changing mounts frequently but taking no rest himself and brought the joyful tidings of the annihilation of Packenham's grand army by the forces commanded by that eminent South Carolinian, Andrew Jackson The ride of Col. Hampton is a suita ble and deserving subject for an epic. The Wade Hampton whose memory we revere most greatly, could, though maimed, sit a horse as gallantly at 8f> as most young troopers now can do In the prime of life. And there was never a more glorious sight, we have been told, than Wade Hampton riding at the head of his column going Into a charge. The most wonderful broad swordsman that this country has ever produced, he has hewed his way through a circle of valiant foes, and dashed away to safety. He was a beautiful rider and was always grandly mounted. He was as much a part of the movements of his steed as if he were a satyr. The horse, perhaps, too fiery for others of the bravest of riders, instinctively knew its master and curvetted proud ly to be mounted by such a man. Hut It was when the trumpeter had giv en the stirring notes of the Charge that Hampton was supermoral. lb' was a noble presence at all times, but in battle an orlfiamme. In his youth his father had had a race course east of Columbia, where the Epworth orphanage now Is, and some of the greatest horses in Amer ica have been there. No rider of the plains was more skillful than Wade Hampton, for witli the ease and grace of a grand dame of the ballroom he could ride a magnificent animal at full siieed, pick up a hat from the ground and never show signs of exertion. It was this great riding, not the broadswordsman of many sanguinary conflicts, not the dashing cavalier of the ante-bellum Columbia, but the calm, self contained, fearless, citizen, the man of all hearts In South Caro lina quietly riding to and from his home that won the admiration of our friend. And Hampton rides today. His glorious figure is perpetuated in broze upon the grounds of the capi tol of the state which he so much helped to save. And his spirit rides on, his great, noble spirit, of honor and candor, of Justness and fairness, and South Carolina will ever follow In the example that he has set. of kind ness and of forgiveness. Wade Hampton rides today. His great heart pulses no more, but his great life record is an Inspiration to cheer the hearts of all South Carolinians at the time when we feel depressed. His stout heart never failed.?Anderson Dally Mall. Conkey'8 Stock Remedies are not oods, but medicine?a separate remedy for each disease?made by the same people that make Conkey's Poultry Remedies.
