BAD FOR BABY COUNTY. | Sensational Charges of Bribery fa Reeent Election. Dillon, April 9:?The news that the conditions which existed in'the N primary election here had reached the Attorney General has created a sensation in Dillon. There are many speculations as to whether the Attorney General will investigate and if he does what the result will be. There are some who believe that an investigation would lead to convictions, while others think that it would be a fruitless effort. There are many who assert that they know of irregularities which could fce proved beyond a doubt and that the evidence would not be hard to obtain. This has reference to the fraudulent use of whiskey, money, beer and alcohol. This, the arguments produced indicate, would apply to some of the officers elected and to some of the candidates defeated. All the candidates who were in the field had . many enthusiastic friends and when it came to the last primary there can be littte question but that extreme measures were used by both candidates and friends to elect their choice. To say that this kind of work met with the approval of the people would create a wrong impression. It is deplored by many citizens who believe that an election so full of corrupt practices will never again be tolerated in Dillon. Charges have been made that within 50 yards of the Dillon poring place there was liquor, and aj plenty of it, and that it was used by political aspirants in getting votes. It is charged again that money was niaced in the hands of certain individuals with the understanding that certain precincts .were to be carried for certain parties. The election as a whole is looked upon by many of Dillon's best citizens as a shame and disgrace. It is alleged that one individual received as much as $400 for his services at one precinct. It is alleged that certain politicians offered definite sums to individuals provided that they carried certain precincts. * There is one member of the court house commission whose conduct in the last primary election is now J \ being investigated. The charge is that - he accepted bribes from certain aspirants for office for his vote and influence. The commission prefers at present withholding the name, notwithstanding it is being generally talked. In the case above named there has been no final action, as the case is in the hands of a committee who will make a report at the next meeting. TRUCK GROWERS ASK RELIEF. Want Express Rates on Strawberries Reduced at Once. The State Bureau, 12 Post Building, Washington, April 8:?Following the suggestion of the secretary to the interstate commerce commission, the Lake City truck growers' representatives have now made a special request of the Atlantic Uoast Line company and of the Southern Express company to make an immediate reduction in the r$tes on truck and on strawberries, without the thirty days' notice which is allowed by law. The complaint filed with the interstate commission was to-day forwarded to Traffic Manager Brand at Wilmington and Mr Loop, vice president of the express com VT pany, at ^natianoojja. uu unci uc, who represents the Lake City district in Congress, got up a letter which. after being signed by all the South Carolina delegation in Congress, was sent to-day to these officials. It is represented that if the rates and regulations should be changed with the usual thirty days' notice it would be too late to affect. this year's crop, which is now already on the market. What the truck growers want is an immediate change. Foley's Kidney Remedy will cure any case of kidney and bladder trouble not beyond the reach of medicine. No medicine can do more. D C Scott.

Certainly it seem* like carrying I coals to Newcastle to speak of exporting oatmeal to Scotland and yet, every year the Quaker Oats Company sends hundreds of thousands of cases of Quaker Oats to Great Britian and Europe. The reason is simple; while the English and Scotch have for centuries eaten oatmeal in quantities and with a regularity that has made them the most rugged physically, and active mentally of all people, the American has been eating oatmeal and trying all the time to improve the methods of manufacture so that he might get that desirable foreign trade. *. How well he has succeeded yrould be seen at a glance at the export reports on Quaker Oats. This brand is without a rival; is packed in regular packages, and in hermetically sealed tins for hot climates. 51 t Our Clubbing Bates ? -i we oner eneup uuuuiu^ mn? with a number of popular news| papers and periodicals.
