"He saw Cham Wrlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Bsmedy advertised In ths Phillppl Re? publican and decided to try It.

Bradley, of Raton Rspils, is making a whirlwind cam? paign for ths nomination for governor of Michigan. The matter In '<> be net? tled at a general primary the first of feeptember. Im Falrne** Another British Delusion? For generations the English have prided themselves on their reputation as the "fairest sportsmen in the world." They have pointed to the ath? letic fields of Et ?n and Harrow, to their great football teams, thvlr i tick? et players, golfer* and oarsmen as thorough sportsmen who did not {day merely to win, but enjoyed the rigor Jot the game. They havv le and again denounced the Fre* n and Americans for letting "professional? ism" creep Into athletics. So that when It was decided to hold the Olympic games In London the ter, American, crossed 'the tape first, and far outran the IBriton, Halswelle. Tet the Judges called It "no race," on the ground that the American had "bored" or "pocketed" the English? man. The Americans declare there could have been no foul and that the English officials and announcers did everything In their power to Interfere with Carpenter. * *vm*.,?. In the great Marathon race, In or? der to de* *>t the American runner, English officials actually lifted his exhausted Italian competitor across the line. Whether they are mistaken or not, the American athletes are convinced that the Englishmen have dore ev? erything they could to deprive other nations of athletic honors. They as? sert that they have resorted to every means, fair or foul, to win each con? test. This la In marked contrast with the cordial welcome Americans afford British athletes, and the enthusiasm with which we receive so thorough a sportsman as Sir Thomas Upton. Appearances are against the Brit? ish, and unless they can support their rulings by convincing evidence, their reputation for fairness and sportsman? ship will suffer.?Baltimore Sun. athletes of other nations confidently expected an opoYi field and fair play. The American athletes, however, as? sert that the British have not treated them with the generous fairness that should be accorded honorable adver? saries, Aecordlng to the dispatches from London, the drawings were secret and were so contrived that the best Amer? ican runners were "bunched" In the same heats, so that the Americans were contending against one another, giving them few chances In the finals; while the English were numerous enough to enter In every heat, giving tgem a great advantage. In the "tug of war" ths British. It fx alleged, won by a bold trick. When the team of giant Liverpool policemen s tlked on the grounds it was seen that Instead of the light shoes worn by the other contestants the English? men had on Immense boots, with Iron heels. The other nations refused to pull, and only the Americans remain* ed in the contest, though they stood no chance of winning. But the decision that has aroused the indignation of Americans Is that In the 400-meter race. J. C. Carpen plained most Interestingly. The closing part of his address he devoted to a discussion of the winter legumes ?clovers and vetches?and the meth? ods to be followed to secure the best results from these forage plants In connection with the ordinary farm crops of this section and the ordinary grains and that old stand-by, the cow pea. Prof. Daniel, who spoke on the ?ubj ?ct of Industrial Education, made a mo.<t Interesting talk. He Is a speaker of remarkab'e force and earnestness and he made a lasting Im? pression. Col. Watson was the last speaker at the morning sessslon. He made a plain, straightforward talk on the present day conditions in farming In this State and emphasised the need of Immediate and radical changes. He had a rrtass of facts and figures that he quoted to prove that the farmers are sending more money out of the State each year for things that they could produce themselves than the net val? ue of all the crops produced In this State. It was a most interesting pre? sentation of a vital question and in? cidentally showed very clearly why the farmers of South Carolina remain poor Instead of growing richer each year. At the conclusion of Col. Watson's address the institute was adjourned until 3 p. m. Col. Newman, Prof. Conrad! and Mr. Stewart will speak this aternoon. Newberry's New President. Columbia.

BROTHER HU X (i UBI > NOT! FICATION DAY PLANS. Backers of Notification Exercises Had to S<il Buttons to Eke Out the Requisite Fuml. Cincinnati Correspondence Philadel? phia Record. Taft's "surprise" party, notifying the candidate formally of his nomi? nation for the presidency, and giving him the opportunity to declare for a continuation of the Roosevelt poli? cies, had an outcome today of a very humiliating character for the hero of It all, and brought out so plataly as to be visible to the naked eye a great disaffection In the Republican organ? ization. There was too much "Broth? er Charlie" in it, and in the character of a marplot, at that, Not only were men upon whom Taft must rely to carry Ohio thrust into outward bit? terness and away from the glories! and pomp of today's event, but the occasion Itself was lowered to the dignity of a street vendor's fair by the peddling of Taft buttons to meet expenses when it was found "Broth? er Charlie" did not intend to "pay the freight." It had been known for some time that there was disaffection, but it was not kept on display. "Brother Char? lie," however, today drove too far his ambition to succeed George B. Cox as Cincinnati leader and to gain a seat in the United States senate, and bad feeling was shown without re? gard for consequences. There was a forerunner of today's demoraliza? tion yesterday when Judge Taft and Cox appeared simultaneously in the lobby of the Sinton, but didn't speak. Cox is conceded to have the power of delivering Hamilton county to whomsoever he pleases. But he hasn't forgotten what Taft, when still secretary of war, said about him in his speech at Akron two years ago. All this was supposed to have been smoothed over, but the minute Cox saw Taft approaching him with his hand outstretched he withdrew from the notification headquarters and was soon lost in the crowds In the street. Cox Is not the only leader angered by the Tafts, and because of that the button feature of today's exercises became a necessary Inspiration ? in order that the expenses of the cere? mony might be met. Had Garry Herr? mann. Rud Hynicka or any of the other local leaders been named as chairmen of some o^. the numerous committees appointed for the notifi? cation-day exercises, the local or? ganization would not have been placed in the embarrassing position of being obliged to confess that there Is deficit In the notification day fund. With Garry Herrmann chairman of the finance committee, or even only a member of it, the $25,000 asked to defray the expense of the surprise party would have been subscribed and paid over in less than half a day. But as It was, only $15,000 was raised after two weeks of hard work and begging. Many heretofore loyal Republicans when asked for a contribution re? plied: "What for? C. P. Taft seems to be running the whole thing. He's got plenty of money, so let him pay for his own thunder." The finance committee, as a last re? sort, hired several thousand men and Loys to sell buttons and badges' in an effort to make up the remaining $10. 000 needed. "It has come to a pretty pass when an organization like that, we have here, and m a city like Cincinnati, has to go out and sell buttons to raise the expenses of a presidential notifica? tion," said one of the prominent members of the Blaine club this after? noon. All the preliminary details of the notification-day ceremonies ?vere worked out In "Brother Charlie's" editorial sanctum sanctorlum, and when the list of committees for the day emerged therefrom not one of the names of men who have long been the recognized leaders in 11? publican politics In Hamilton county was found on it. The list of honorary vice pre* idents was so long that It might have been taken for a copy of the city di? rectory, but the copyists had managt 1 1 not to see any of the names of the real leaders in going through the big book. The result was that the really big men in the local organization were not much inevidence at the notifica? tion t^st. They ignored it as much as possible without laying themselves open to the criticism that they show? ed an utter lack of civic pride. A Faithful Friend. ?"I have used Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy since it was first Introduced to the public In 1872, and have never found one in? stance where a cure was speedily ef I ? feeted by its use. I have been a com ! merolal traveler for 18 years, and 1 never start on a trip without this, my faithful friend," says H. S. Nichols, of Oakland, Ind. Ter. When a man has used a remedy for 35 years he knows its value and is competent to -peak of it. For sale by all drug? gists. THE FARMERS' INSTITUTE. Instructive and Interesting Addresses Made In the Court House Today By Agricultural Exports. The Farmers* Institute which was held in the Court House today under the direction of Clemson College was not as large'y attended as it should have been, but the two hundred or more farmers who were present were fully repaid for the day. The ad? dresses were all practical and In? tensely interesting and gave the farm? ers the sort of information that the progressive land owners are seeking. Secretary E. I. Reardon of the Chamber of Commerce called the meeting to order in the absence of President R. I. Manning, and intro? duced Commissioner E. J. Watson, whom: he asked to preside over the meeting. The institute was under the direc? tion of Prof. J. N. Harper, director of the experiment station at Clemson College, and he was assisted by Prof. C. S, Goodrich, chief of the office of farm management, bureau of plant industry, department of agriculture; Prof. D. W. Daniel, of Clemson Col? lege; Col. J. S. Newman; Mr. Guy L. Stewart, of the department of agri? culture, Prof. Conrad!, entomologist, of C'emson College, and Col. E. J. Watson,* commissioner of agriculture and immigration. Col. Watson presided and intr ..ne? ed the speakers. Pro. Harper, the first speaker, made a general talk on the line of farm diversification and gave an in? structive outline of the work that the institute is designed to accomplish. He discussed the modern system of crop rotation and the great good that it has wrought where intelligent? ly and systematically carried out. Prof. Goodrich discussed crop rota? tion in detail. He said that crop ro? tation provides the needed fertiliza? tion for profitable crops at the mini? mum cost, aids materially in combat? ting Insects and other pests and goes a long way toward solving the labor problem. He discussed ferti? lizers and explained fury and clearly what fertilization is. Fertilization Is, he said, plant food, moisture, soil ven? tilation and the absence of Insect and other pests. Elaborating this propo? sition he explained the best methods for obtaining the proper fertilization of the soil by means of crop rotation and stock raising as an adjunct to farming. He had a number of charts that graphically Illustrated the practi? cal results that have been obtained from Intelligent rotation, which he WARSHIP TO VENEZUELA.
