T. 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. Robinson.”

The use of temporary pastures for
sheep aids greatly in the prevention
of infection by stomach worms and
other internal parasites. 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. Older
sheep arc ss suscept ble than lambs
and may be allowed to use up feed
len in fields f:V>m which the lambs
have been removed.

Little Talk On Thrift
WATCH THE LITTLE THINGS
AND THE BIG ONES WILL
TAKE CARE OF THEM
SELVES
(By s. w. 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<

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.

The oats acreage is placed at 337,-

Of the 337,000 acres, correspondents

The Dorchester plan should be ex
tended to state political contests in
1930. The Richardites should nom

who are tired of silly government in

tickets; it stresses that they stand: u . . ...
for different policies in county af-
fa'rn, perhaps in stato affairs, and
that implies that the people will
think when they vote.
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.
