URGES 25,000 WHO DIDN'T VOTE AUGUST 29 TO CAST BALLOT NEXT TUESDAY. A special from Columbia to the News and Courier Monday, says: "Woodrow Wilson will be re-elected President of the United States next November and Richard I Manning will be renominated Governor next Tuesdav." said Senator B R Tillman this afternoon as he was leaving for his home at Trenton, after spending the day in Columbia. The Senator says he is enjoying fine health and he appears to be in the best of spirits. He left Washington about two weeks ago and since that time has been resting on his farm at Trenton. He says that he does not expect to return to the National Capital until next Decerntber. While speaking of the South Carolina race for the Governorship, he was extremely emphatic and the old-time battle fire gleamed in his eye. He says that Blease will probbly get a small percentage of the Cooper vote, the remainder going tc Governor Manning. jtfeV > "There is not a bit of use to get '^5. stampeded." said Senator Tinman. "If the people do as I expect and *- JM^' think they will Blease will never be elected." He felt sure the people when once aroused would go to the fj* ballot box, and if they did he was satisfied Manning would be nomi R nated. He claims that there are fully 25, 000 enrolled voters that did not ge to the polls last Tuesday but that i1 they have the good of the State al ^ heart, they will vote against Blease in the next primary. And he is firmly of the opinion that they will "The good Lord has nothing against South Carolina," said the Senator, "and he will not let a mar like Blease again be Governor ol South Carolina. But the Lord helps those who help themselves, and it it up to the voters to get out and give an emphatic victory to Governoi ** J?? ?

However, we 1 were surprised to see Supt Gasque in town Monday, as he was overwhelmingly nominated last week. Suppose he is looking to 1920. c Not long since a young man of ^ this place lugged a ham in a suitcase ? nil nvpr thp unner nart of the State, f He told his mother he was going to see his married sister,so she sent the ham by him to her, as she supposed.

Dillon Team Wins Pennant. v At Dillon Tuesday in the nip-and- c tuck pennant series between the Dil- * Ion and Lamar teams for the cham- ^ pionship of the Pee Dee league, Dil- ] Ion captured the last game of the 1 series by a great streak of luck. Up c to Tuesday the teams were even, 1 each having won three games. At r the opening of the last half of the " ninth inning of the seventh and last ' game everything seemed to be in s Lamar's favor, when the Dillon boys 1 woke up and made four scores, de- 1 feating the Lamar team 4 to 3. J Each of the three games won by Lamar was pitched by Epting. Foster pitched Tuesday's game and his < team scored three runs in the third 1 inning. i I THE BEST WAY TO OWN A HOI ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY A HOM THE BEST WAY TO HAVE ENOl i y rank a part of WHAT YOU I SAVING YOUK MONEY WILL c DISCOURAGE YOU.
