HOW 1MB YOU j . \ MntlwW* Asks Ml citizens to Avlike to What They arc Doing? Utilise Lies with Officers. Mltor The Dally item. I would like to say a few words to the \oters of South Carolina. You men, who voted for whiskey, did you pray (Sod for it, and ask him to bloss It? Have you ever stopped to think what yo? have done, when you voted for it? It Is a grand privilege to be able to have a "say so" in our government, yet the responsibility, when you think of it, is go great. Have you studied the questions as a Christian should, did you ask God to guide you, and show you how to vote f How many times have you heard that the dispensary is better than prohibition? And that it benefits the town and schools and keeps the mon? ey at home? How many things the devil can think of to use to keep prohibition away. Hut does the dis? pensary solve the problem? Did you ever think of the number of boys it takes every year to take the place of the men who die drunkards and go to hell? Yet who is responsible, if your or my boy is drunken? Are you y >ur brother's keeper? You men, who sit quietly by while the devil works for whiskey, are responsible. How many shirked your duty by fading to register? You didn't notice the devil laughing up his sleeve, did you? The man who voted for whiskey does not care a rap who's boy goes next and is just as much of a menace to society as the blind tiger is. How many of you would be proud of the fact that you voted for the dis? pensary and the devil? If the lists of names and how you voted was published, would you care for the public to know? And how about your mother, wife, daughters and especially your boys; would they be proud of you? Some say, God save the boys. But God helps thoso who help themselves. Now, why cant' we have prohibit? ion In every sense the word? It Is simply because too many of you men are asleep to the fact that the trou? ble lies with the men who hold re? sponsible offices. They swear to up? hold the law and then fail to do so, because they are more benelited by not doing so. And they know we are asleep be? cause we sit quietly by and see our boys vuined. A man who governs should be a Christian, a God-fearing man, not one who merely has his name on the church roll. That doesn't make him a Christian. We want men who feel their re? sponsibility and uphold the laws be? cause of duty. 1 have two little bo. s and God know* I had rather bury them than see them drunkards. ?engagement Announced.

Bicycle Trip Taken by Nine Boys Thursday?F.njoyahle Outing' A bicycle hike was taken by nine of the Boy Scouts of the Game Cock Troop Thursday in charge of Secre? tary Birchard, the outing proving a most enjoyable one.

Heal Kfttagfi Transfer. C. L. Tlsdale to Florence Wiani Morgan, lot on Liberty Street, $2,760, TOBACCO MOVEMENT ENDORS? ED. I>. W. Brown Calls Attention to Xee<l of Securing Expert Advice foe Farmers Who Start out In New In? dustry. Editor Daily Item. I noticed in your paper the most ?trIking move to my mind that has been made for the betterment of the farmers and country, that of raising tobacco, on a small scale to com? mence with, and I notice the liberal spirit of the big hearted and broad minded men of Sumter offering prizes to induce farmers to try to? bacco as a money crop. This is all 'ight, but it strikes me that it would mean more for the farmers and the county, if this contribution with what the farmers would or could raise, bo spent in securing a compe? tent man whose business would be to direct and advise the farmers how to manage the tobacco from the hot bed to '.he warehouse. This may not strike the average, mind as the best way to start this new enter? prise, but to any mind it would mean more to the farmer than three times these prizes. As it is, the farmers would be offered prizes to do some? thing that few farmers know much about. The dispensary lovers seem not to specially want whiskey, but revenue. This will mean more, if carried out properly, than all the whiskey In Christendom, for it will be an honor? able and just game?not making poor poorer, but making the entire state of affairs better and bring about a tendency to lessen the credit habit that seems to prevail In our home city. Header, think of this change. Get at it right on a small scale, give it your attention and in a few years, with good management, farmers who have fallen behind, and who have mortgaged their farms possibly, will be free men. You cannot pay back debts raising cotton with the odds that exist against the farmer of today. Respectfully, D. W. Brown. Sumter, S. C, Aug. 27, 1913. Clenison Board Visits Kxperlmcnt Station. The Clemson College Board of Trustees spent Wednesday at the newly acquired experiment station near Florence. The board spent the day looking over the farm and buildings and neighboring farms and its members expressed themselves as being highly pleased with the work which had been done at tho experi? ment station ana the plans for future work to be done during the winter and next year or as the funds are re? ceived for extending the work. This experiment station is a branch of the Clemson College experiment station and was founded on the suggestion of Mr. U. [, Manning, who therefore is very much interested in it and anxious to see it made successful. As to Canvass of Election. Wedgefleld, Aug. 29.?The forces that stand for more whiskey, more drunkenness and more crime, it seems have triumphed for the time being. To the silent onlooker it must have been a sad sight during the re? cent canvassing of the vote, to see men high up in authority religions socially and politically fighting to force upon the citizenship of Sumter county that instigator of crime, the dispensary, when the majority of votes cast in the county were record? ed against it. The final outcome is not surprising, though when it Is known that on the day before the commis? sioners of election met to canvass the vote, when the returns indicated a majority against the dispensary, that applicants for position for the board of control wen? circulating petitions. (Signed) W. H. Ramsey. Tobacco cannot be grown profitably on all soils and it will be a mistake for any farmer to undertake to grow tobacco unless his land is adapted to the crop, The experience of success? ful tobacco growers in Sumter and ad? joining counties has demonstrated what soils are best adapted to tobac? co and the soil survey maps of Sum? ter and adjoining Counties show ex? actly the type of soil t ? be found in each community, therefore it will be comparatively easy for a farmer to ascertain whether or not he has the type of soil on Iiis farm that grows tob; vo. it will not be necesssary to go to the expense of planting a crop of tobacco to find out whether it will grow on a particular farm. The far? mers who have land exactly like or very similar to land that has produc? ed crops of tobacco In Sumter, Clar? endon. Florence or Darlington coun? ties would be safe In going Into tobac? co, Ian It he has not the tobacco type of land, he had better stick to cotton. There is plenty of tobacco land In Sumter county and there is no use in planting land thai will nol produce good lobaceo, for to do su would re suit in loss to the individual farmer ;ind a black eye to the tobacco grow Ing Industry, WILSON MAY MAKE CHOICE. THIman and Smith Dlaagreo on Die. trlct Attorney?Former Backing Thurmoml, Latter Wcston. Washington, Aug. 30.?Matters nre believed to bo rapidly approaching a crisis with regard to the Federal dis? trict attorneyship of South Carolina, for which Messrs J. Wm. Thurmond, of Edgefteld, and Prank H. Westen? of Columbia, have been avowed can? didates for sinne time, the former With the endorsement of Senator Till man and the latter with the endorse? ment of Senator. K. 1). Smith. Senator Smith has put forward no candidate for marshal against Mr. Jas. L. Sims, of Urangeburg, Senator Ttllman's choice for the post, but the junior senator refuses to give In as to the district attorneyship. The dis? agreement of the two senators as to this important piece of patronage is embarrassing to the administration, which does not desire to offend either Of them. If they continue at loggerheads it is possible that the president may con? sider himself Justified In making a se? lection on his own initiative. Definite developments are expected soon after the president's return from bis brief outing in New Hampshire. NEW PAPER FOR MANNING? Local Stock Company Said to He in Pnx-ess of Orgaiiiaztion. Manning, Aug. 30.?There is a definite movement on foot to organize a stock company for the purpose of establishing another newspaper in Manning. While no organization has as yet been perfected, it is said that the necessary capital is in sight and that the company Will be organized at an early date. It is understood that Prof. John K. Hreedin, who has re? cently resigned as dean of Anderson College, is to be the editor and man? ager of the new paper. It has been suggested that there Is] a possibility of the new company buying out the Manning Times, which has been published for many years by Maj. Louis Appelt, but it is not known that any steps have been taken look? ing to such a deal. The Times ha* had the field to itself for a good man? years, and it is problematical wheth? er two papers could be made to pay here now. . ? In the "Land of the Sky/' Asheville, N. C, Aug. 31.?As many of your readers have not visited this place, a bird's eye view of it and the surrounding country may not be al? together uninteresting to them. The city is a very pretty one, surrounded by high mountains, and the air is cool and crisp, like it is in October with us. It is a busy place, with very lit? tle muse except by cars. There are large hotels and many boarding houses which are tilled with people from all sections of the country, as far as Oklahoma, Texas, New York, Cali? fornia, etc. They say that Asheville has never had so many visitors, who come to get away from the heat of their homes and to be treated for lung trouble. I saw several who came here sick with lung ailments and are now pronounced well. Several large hotels are now being finished. One, the Grove Park Inn, Is one of the largest and finest 1 have ever seen. It is built of large and small rock of different kinds gotten from th<? mountains nearby. Some of the rock, I am satisfied, will weigh be? tween tWO and thee thousand pounds. Large fire places, ten feet wide, with heavy dog irons shoulder high. The furniture is line and conveniences all that could be desired. I was courte? ously shown all through the build? ing and judging from what 1 saw the cost when finished will be near a million of dollars. H Is now being used. The rate per day is seven dol? lars and upward. From the back piazza is a splendid view of the city and surrounding country. It is built at the foot of the mountain. I went to the top of Sunset Mountain yes? terday, the highest near Asheville. It made us all who went puff and blow to reach the top. It is neatly 4,000 feet above sea level so the postings say. The view is splendid. A gentle? man present pointed out mountains in Tennessee and Kentucky. Clouds were floating on a level with some of the tallest peaks. Vanderbllt has his club house on one of them, but 1 did not see it. The air was cold und made me feel like staying there until cold weather comes. Many people go there to wit? ness sunset. 1 witnessed it from the top of Battery Park hotel and it was splendid, giving the whole surround? ing country a rosy tint. 1 And the people lu re very nice and courteous as well as visitors. There are many Republicans here who are tolerant of one's opinions, as all w ?\\ bred and Intelligent people are. While this is a prohibition State l am told when you want whiskey it is near at band in quantities. I could tell you more, but this letter Is long enough for ibis time. M l Und anything further in this " Land of the Sk\" to write, will |e| you know. J. E. DuPl'C NEW FOOD PRODUCE. Parrott Milling: Co., Addf a New LU to Their PHkInets.

This analysis shows th it contains 19.1C per cent protein, 1.60 per cent fat, and 13.44 per cent cf bohydrai.es. Commissioner of Ag culture, Hon. E. J. Watson, in wr ing of this feed says in part. "In i gard to the quality of this feed I b to say that it is really an excedle feed." , The average user r.f feedstuffs dc not realize the importance of t chemical analysis end com quently pays little attention it. There are three essei.tial i gredients of all feelstuffs that t user should learn of.
