C., July 19.—An active campa'gn looking te v carrying the South for Herbert Hoove.* Re publican nominee for tho presidency will be ca’.ried cn by the “Dry Anti- Smith Democrats.” an organization of prohibitionists formed at the con- clucVrg session of a twe-day confer- '■ncc here today. Election of dry D mocratic congressmen, state of ficials and county officials will be sought. The campaign will be carried on by an executive committee to be composed of a man and a woman from each of the states of Alabama. Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, Loui siana, Arkansas, Missouri, Oklaho-< mr«. F) ntucky, West Virginia, South Carolina and No:th Carolina. Head quarters probably will be establish ed at Richmond, Va., and the home of Bishop James E. Cannon,'' Jr., Methodist Episcopal. Church, South, prolate, who. with Dr. A. J. Barton of Atlanta, Baptist leaden called the irreting here. Aims And Principles The organization, at a n executive session this morning adopted a lengthy statement of aims and prin ciples. The statement attacked Chair man John J. Raskob on four points after explaining that every member of the conference was a Democrat, adding: “While declaring our un swerving allegiance to the pr’nclples of true democracy and iVur determ n- ation to labor to preserve the spirit, ideals and unity of our southern democracy we have ddiberately and finally (tedded that we cannot sup port Governor Alfred E. Smith, the nominee of the Houston convention for the presidency of the United States and we heaeby pledge our selves as ant’-Smith Democrats, to use all proper and honorable means to secure his defeat. This decision is basod on the fol lowing reasons: “First: Governor Smith's iTpudia- tlon of the Houston platform on pro hibition. “Second: Governor Smith’s selec tion ofi a wet Republican as chair man of the Democratic national committee. “Fourth: Governor Smith's rela tion to Tammany Hall.” Recalls Convention The statement then recalled the Houston convention activities, in cluding the fight jn the resolutions committee over the prohib'tion plank; how a plank finally was agreed upon and Smith nominated. It recalled the receipt and reading of Governor Smith’s telegram pledg ing enforcement cf the laws but stating that he favored modif’eatior of the national prohibition act, ac cusing the governor of “bolting” the party platform. “A courageous man,” it says would have followed the example of Judge Alton B. Parker in 1904 and .efused to accept the nomination on a platform from which had been de- Fberately and positively excluded all pioposcd wet repeal or modififea tion planks. But the belated serd- ‘ng cf Governor Smith’s two-lacec telegram was an actio n of brazen, political effrontery planned in ad vance, taken for the purpose of em phasizing in spectacular fashie. Governor Sm th’s opposition to pro hibition in order to secure wet Re publican votes especially i n the North and East. It was at the sam< ;im'o, open, inconsiderate defiance of pcsiticn of dry Democrats every where and espec'ally in the Seutl ,vho were thus publicly and insolent y notif ed that they must surrender their convictions on a great moral question and must vote to enable this wet Tammany sachem to secure a so-called’ Democratic victory by a combination of wet voters in the North and East, with dry voters in the South, with a positive declara tion that if elected the wet Tam many candidates would regard his election as a mandate to advocates to secure the adoption if possible, of drastic modification of the prohibi tion lav.. “Tammany Methods.” “Such shameless proposition of accord with Tammany methods and political double dealing is in full ideals l ut must indignantly be re jected i y honorable, self-respecting southern Democrats who will refuse to commit moral suicide to secure the spoils of a petty partisan politi cal victory.” The recond section declared that Gov. Smith is “aggressively ir- reconciliably wet.” It charges that he was an advocate of the saloon when it existed “for he repeatedly put his foot on the brass rail and blew the foam off the glass; for he has openly expressed his desire to help repeal the prohibition laws so that it can be doro again.” He is charged with opposing all itttriet:ve measures against saloons wren hw.' waa n the state Legis lature and W-th trying to remove rest: .et c’ r; f.ghting the ratifica tion of the 18th amendment, fought passage of the Mullin Gage enforce ment law in New York and aecur- mg its repeal and w.th responsibility for ineffective enforcement of the prohibition law in New York. “It i s unthinkable,” says the sec tion, that the moral religious leader- sh p of the South can be a party to the election of such a man as Gov. Smith, thus being guilty of an open betrayal to the gveat social, economic and moral reform which was won for our children and our homes after years cf ur selfish labor.” Selection Of Raskob. “The insulting conscienceless at- t tudo of the wet Tammany can didate toward the dry voters cf the Democratic party has now been emphasized eve n more strongly by Gov. Smith’s selecting as chairman of tlo Democratic national commit tee- of John J. Raskob, the vice- chairman fdr the Association. Aga nst the Prohibition Amend ment, a member of the Republican Union League club and a voter for Ccolidge in the election of 1924,” cays the third section. ‘Mr. Raskob promptly responded to tho call of the wet Tammany govemoi with a r.ite cc h which had been carefully pre pared in advance, reiterating as its outstanding feature the sent - ments cf the said wet Tammary governor in opposition to prohibi tion. This speech by Mr. Raskob was followed a day later by a state ment to the press that he had ac cepted the position of chairman of the Democratic national committee because he saw an opportunity of rrrformir.g some constructive se’v- ice by helping relieve the country of the ‘damnable affliction of pro hibition,’ and the following day Mr. Raskob gave to the press a state ment that ho favors a scheme of control of the manufacture, sale and transportation of ntoxicating liquors by which it may be had for home concumption without the re turn of the saloon in such communi ties as vote thereof under a local option law, which sc’i'ane if put in to effect would necessitate the repeal of the 18th amendment and the re turn tc state control of th* 1‘quor tiaffic with the substitution cf a kind of a state dispensary for the old saloon. Highest Moral Interes's. “Such a clear cut definite repudi ation of the action taken at Hous ton and such a vic’ous assault upon prohibition as a ‘damnable afflic tion’ demand a clear cut,, definite repudiation by all Democrats of the wet Tammany romince of the Hous ton convention. Gov. Alfred E Smith, and lo flatly and unquivocal- ly refused to accept or to follow such fa’thless. immoral leadc:ship; ard we affirm that wc are standing for the highect moral interests of the Democratic party in thus reject ing the irsolcnt dictatorship which has thus been ruthlessly assumed by Gov. Smith and by his quondam Un ion League club, Republ can Chair man John Jacob Raskob.” The fourth action, dealing with Gov. Smith’s relations to Tammany Hal!, reads: “Furthermore, this double-faced political tricke ‘y, this brazen ef- fortery, this shameless -betrayal o racial principles for the spo Is o office arc essentially charac «list’c of Tammany Hall and the all e< grafting groups or organizations in other cities which are held together by the cohos've power of public plunder a \d which were lined up solidly to foicc the nomination of Gov. Smith. The outstanding lead ers of the Smith forces at Houston were Olvaney, of New York; Hague of Jersey City, and Brennan, o:' Chicago, all aggressively wet and all leaders of city organization whose openly recogn’zod reason for existence is not to support or ad vance greatly principles, but to plunder and pillage in a variety of ways th.e people of the cities :n which thej are publicly acclaim-*‘1 ns bosses.” XX! What has become of the old fash ioned man who used to say that the business robins would all be vacant when the saloons were driven out? txt Once upon a time there was a mo tion picture film which did not an nounce everybody from the high mogul down to the office boy. txx Political differences formerly caused much worry, but today it is the political indifferences that i s the curse of the country. k -IX!

This was one of the largest numbers of peop’o reg istered on the entire trip, being ex ceeded by only s x places in the en tire state. Much interest was shown i n the exhibits of purebred livestock and poultry, and farm equipment shown on the train, and it is believed that the result of the runn'ng of this train will be a much greater inter est in the cow, hog and the hen in the state during the coming years. The Livcstcck Development Spec ial Train, a joint undertak'ng of the Atlantic Coast Line, the Charlestons and Western Carolina, the Col umbia, Newberry and Laurens Com panies ard the Clemson College Ex tension Service is carrying a message- of Livestock farming supplemental to the cotton crop. Its progi'anr calls for two to five grade cows with) a separator two cveam cans and a few milk pails so cream can be - shipped and to consume the skim m Ik a flock of at least 100 hens and 1 one or more sows producing two lit ters a year. This offers year-round income and extras at the “pinch:”’ times. Some of the poultry enhibits are' always studied. Two typical non layers that scarcely pay their board are to be found beside two typicali good hens that are laying two or thnee times as many eggs and re*- turning good profits, thus showing how to cull. A hen that laid 270’ eggs at Clemson last year is to be see n beside the cheap home-grown, home-mixed feed sl|3 was fed. Un der a record of two Barnwell Coun ty ftecks aro to be found a model of the Clemson type laying house in whch one of tha equal flocks laid $152 wclth more January eggs than the other in the leaky house shown; On the flat car is found a narrow section of- the full-sized Clemson type laying house and t!v» Clemson type brooder house, each fully equipped and inhabited by chickens. Passing through the train nearly everyone comments about two sheep exh bits. A thrcc-pcund clip cf woo! from a scrub ewe equivalent to half ol a blanket is shown beside a twelve pound clip from a purebred, the equivalent of two blankets. In one pen is found a $4 scrub ewe beside her $14 lamb which inherited its re markable improvement from a pure bred ram. On a chart is shown the occurence of two peak hog market^ yearly which farmers can sell on if they will breed their sews at the right time, at the same time making best use of home-grown crops. Pigs cn self-feeder illustrate one of the advocated pract’ces. Another chart shows that many South Carolina far- * mors are getting good prices for their cor n by turning it into pork the ClemsOn way of fqcding. Fine Guerrlsej;- Jersey and Hol stein milk cows, he'fers and bulls win the admiration of visiting hosts and cow judging demonstrations al ways draw crowds. Economical cqu p- nent rufficient for dai:y start is- Ircqut tly studied. A number of satisfactory pasture and feed crops for South Carol.mi 'arms are shc-.vn and all are remind ed that home-grown feeds arc es sential to livestock success. Typ’cal good animals carried on this trip are Icing “business as usual” in the- est, at the milk pail, and In the Vd lot despite unfavorable condit- ms. X Should green crops be turned un der, fed, cr sold? Many local '.'ac tors are involved in this question, but generally speaking, where a for age crop can be grazed cr advantage* uisly fed to livestock and the man- ire returned to the land, this will be" the most prof table. However, where a small number of livestock is kept, n- where the rdil is poor and in need of organic matter, it may be mere profitable in the end to turn under a green crop than to sell it. The turning under of a green-manure crop may affect the yield of follow ing crops even to the third year, and this fact should be taken into ac count when considering the questioti of selling a legume hay crop or turn ing it under.
