Robinson” was issued here today by Hoke Smith, former governor of the state, former United States sena tor and the last living member of the late president Grover Cleveland’s cabinet. “Almost a month has elapsed since the drmcfcratic convention at Houst on and yet the const'tuted authori ties of the democratic party of Geor gia has taken no steps toward the organization of a campaign for the democ: , atic nominees, although an aggressive and widespread campaign already has been inaugurated against the nominees,” said the formal call of the former senator. Declaring that he was not a “fif ty-fifty democrat” and that his ser- .viqo to the party went back to the time when “democrats were obliged to arm themselves to reach the ballot box,” the former senator’s call said “white sup:omacy was then re-es tablished by the democratic party in the face of federal bayonets and through the years has been main tained by the democratic party, and if the democratic party be new over thrown the n the overthrow of wh'te supremacy will inevitably follow.” Former Senator Smith said he had been honored by the pa:ty “far be yond niy just deserts” and there was no office to which he would aspire or accept adding “I owe the demo cratic party an obligation of grati tude for the honors it has bestowed upon me and likewise owe it a sacred duty, which is to defend it from its enemies from without and its mal contents within. In obedience to that duty and in response to requests w T hich have come to me from Georg ians from all over the state I re quest loyal democrats throughout Georgia who feel concerned over the present s’tuation to meet in the Forsyth theatre in Atlanta on the evening of Friday. July 27, at 8 O’clock for the purpose of organiz ing a statewide campaign, which wdl be aggressively in support of Gov ernor Alfred E. Smith and Senator Joseph T.

Most flocks have some degree of infection from stomach worms and in seasons of high temperature and excessive mois- tu:b these paras tes are most likely to spread. Yeung lambs are especial ly susceptible to injury from para sites and will be exposed to less danger if moved to fresh ground at intervals of about two weeks than if permitted to remain longer on the same fields. Two v.^eks is the long est t me that ore piece cf ground should be grazed by lambs during the warm part of the season.

Straus, President American Society For Thrift.) There are many definitions of thrift. This one may be added to the list: To be thrifty is to appre ciate the value of little things. This may seem trite yet it is one of the rules of progress. The tow ering office buildings in our great cities are made up of a countless number of small objects—brick, stone, steel, tile. The great rail roads that stretch their way across tha Continent ednsist of countless ties and rails. The mighty engines that drive man’s steamships across the sea must turn the propellers in numerable times. One tuih of the great screws means little but a suc cession of little revolutions accomp lishes the nrracle of ocean travel. The story recently was told how five British hospital beds are being endowed from the proceeds of the sale cf tin foil collected by the An cient Order of Druids. Last year over sixty tons of waste were col lected and sold for a sum app.'oxi mating $10,000. There is an old saying, “Savp the d'mes and the dollars will take care of themselves.” Conversely, it might be said, “Squander the dimes and the dollars will be wasted, too.” It is well to have ever in mind the great importance of the so-called little things of life. Little sums of money, continually saved, become fortu!Y\?. Little hah t~ of prudence and watchfulness, develop sturdy characters. It is rot easy to bring one’? seif 1 to a realization c*f these fundame truths. Put the d f "crercc between; happ nes" and miso.y, between pio-;^ s' and stagnation, between wealth \ aR< a"d "c’erty. b'tween go'd health; and <:irens r . b tween success and f lil- u”', is eften jurt a r. r.tt things. South Carolina Crops—July 1st The July preliminary estimate of crop acreages in South Caiolina in dicates a slightly greater total planted to crops this year than last. The most notable increaeos are cot ton, tobacco, and Ir’sh potatoes, with oats and wheat showing the greatest of decline. The acreages of rye, hay and sweet potatoes are slightly re duced, while corn peanuts, and sorg hum for syrup are the same as last year. Cotton in cultivation on July 1, is estimated at 2,577,000 acres, or 51 per cent more than on the same date ^ last year. The greatest increase is i found in the northwestern part of the State. The area picked last year was 2,356,000 acres, with an average yield of 148 pounds and a crop of 38 529 runn : ng bales. Corn acreage of 1,497 000 and con- Day-Night Phone No. 4697 W. W.

The wheat crop is estimated at 800,000 bushels, compared with 880...- 000 bushels harvested last year. The harvested acreage of 64,000 acres is 20 per cent less than that harvested last year, but this year’s yield of 12 1-2 buchcls per acre is 1.5 bushels better than the average for 1927. • The tobacco acreage is estimated at 127,000 acres, or 122 per cent of the 104,000 acres harvested last year. A condition of 65 per cent on July 1, indicates a total crop of around 76,- 000,000 peunds which compares with 76,618,000 pounds last year, 56,780,000 pounds in 1926, and 71,- 040,000 pounds in 1925.

X divis'on of this kind it must be based upon some principle or other.- and the campaign cannot be confined to skulduggery, handshaking and baby- kissing.

The News and Courier is not at this time concerning itself about the mer es had been filed and the entries closed. The party law in respect of factions is nonsensical and no one g'ves it attention. The Dorchester plan should be ex tended to state political contests in 1930. The Richardites should nom inate a ticket if they wish and these who are tired of silly government in South Carolina should hold a con vention and select candidates, es pecially for governor and Uhfted States senator.

The Demcciats of Dorchester, men and women, are on trial. They should not forget that. They owe to the people of South Carolina a demon stration that they can divide and set tle their political differences in a primary election df white people which shall be conducted fairly and courteously., whitout suspicion of fraud or intimidation. They are fur ther obligated to accept the result of the primary as final, and they should accept it cheerfully, in a sp r- it of good sportsmanship. The pri mary is a device which the people of this state the last 35 cr 40 years have by agreement used in choos'ng officers. By means of it they have decision of the state primary. The state ccaveniton in 1930 can repeal the provision about factional candid ates, but whether this is done or not it will remain a dead letter. No obstacle is in the way of main taining two white political parties in South Carolina subject to the pri mary. That it can be done has abundantly been proved.
