He* started'tttat tf had known be?
forehand of the disastrous storm
which was coming he would not have
entered the race. He again wont over
his educational i latform, favored a
rural credits system which would
make more land owners and fewer
tenants. He said common sense
should be the ruling spirit in making
I the laws, but now common sense was
a farce In the laws. A judge himself
had to look up the law In the books
before he would tell which lawyer
was advocating the proper side of a
case. He said tuxes were too high
and he wanted them lowered. He fa?
vored a four year term for all State
and county officers with biennial ses?
sions of the legislature, as a saving of
money to the State, and a means of
eliminating much of the politics, of
which there wore too much. He want?
ed to be on the ballot which was cast
by each of his hearers and was not
particular which two wero sent with
him.
Mr. A. K. Sanders thanked the peo?
ple for past support and stated that
In his connection of thirty years with
politics In the county, there had never
before been so few Issues'. He discuss?
ed the iAney-Odom Insurance law,
Mtutlng that he had favored It In the
legislature and sttll Was of the opin?
ion that b. had done right, that the
companies w?ro not compelled to
withdraw, but had done so arbitrarily
and without excuse, especlaly so as
the leitlalature met again before the
claunett of the law which gave most
dlftsutl.ifaction went Into effect, and
upon a proper showing these could
have been repealed. He did not know
much about Insurance and had an
open rdnd when the bill was first
brought up. It had been referred to
the eo'T?mlttee of which he wuh I
momher and the committee hud heard
the urituments on both sides, for and
against the measure. The committee,
after hearing these argumenta, hui
endorsed the bill and It hud passed
with ority three dissenting votes in the
senate and by r. two-thirds majority
In the house. He said thut the com?
mittee hud found at their hearing.*
that el:<ty-Hve insurance computes

should be abolished, as it was, under
the Luncy-Odoiri act. He had hoard
the arguments with an open mind
ami wus hoitcMt in his convictions and
sincere in his actions, believing him?
self light thon and now. However, he
wanted the people of Suniter county
to understand that he was not "bull

further and, if sent back to the leg?
islature, he Would study It still furth?
er W'th a view of settling all differ?
ence* with the insurance companies so
that amicable adjustment could be
made and tho companies would return
nr?d resume business In tho State. He
Was anxious to ggf the matter settled
to tha satisfaction of all parties con?
cerned and would do his best to ac?
complish this crrd on his return. In
conclusion he stated that he believed
that It 'was a matter of men and not
i^-tfcs in this campaign and' he asked
to he one of the three sent to the leg
felaturc. ?
?-'?Mr. C. E. Stubbs in a short and
straightforward talk outlined his
platform as favoring the State ware?
house system and its extension, a mod?
ification * the Laney-OdOni Insurance
law,1 rural schools, rural1 credit system,
Tour year term of office for all offi?
cers, biennial sessions; pensions for
Confederate soldiers, and a practical
T?rtens htnd registration system. In
seeking election his only object was
equal rights to air and special privil?
eges to none.
Mr. C. lu. Cuttino deplored the ab?
sence of ginger in the campaign,' say?
ing that if there were'more lawySra,
hi felt!-sure that they could get up a

offered himself as a candidate, as a
diity to his county, feeling that he
might be of service in helping some
One else, as he had been through the
seme trials they had been through and
therefore knew what they were and
fbit that he could help. He believed
In rural credits With a low rate of in?
terest under the federal reserve sys?
tem, so that farmers might own their
homes: He came out fia t footed against
lowering the State rate of interest,
saying that it was a direct thrust at
the interests of the poor man, whom
he sought to serve: If would not only
keep' money, Which had been coming
here for loans and investment, out Of
the State, but It would make it
harder for tho poor man to secure a
loan, saying that those who have
money would prefer to "make invest?
ments of it where they thought they
Could make more, rather than lend it
out at 6 per cent. He lauded the
banks for their part they had played
In helping the farmer and others in
the development of the county, saying
that they were the friends of the
farmers, as he was a farmer and a
j borrower and he knew. He stated
that there should be some equalization
Jof taxes, so that property holders
paid 1ft proportion to their property,
wlthoun injustice to anyone.

EXTENDING WAREHOUSE.
Mr. C. Q. Rowland Is enlarging his
cotton warehouse on the eastern edge
of the city, adding four partitions to
it, each one of which will hold be?
tween 1,000 and 1,600 bales of cotton.
With the addltlonn which are now well
under wav, the warehouse will be
capable of bidding about 7,500 bales
or cotton. With the additions which
are being mado and further additions
which are contemplated in the future,
the warehouse will gradually be en?
larged' to house 25,000 to 50,000 bales
of cotton.
Tho construction of this warehouse
and others in the city will no doubt
blini a largo amount of cotton for
storage to Sumtcr from surrounding
points Which heretofore has been go?
ing to neighboring towns.

Mr. K. W. Dabbs Tells of ltcsulls ur
*Um) Observation* 'um! In vewti ga?
llons. '' ? ? ? <"?'?? *????
Salem, - Black River, Aus. 3.?Yes?
terday I had the opportunity to Bee
the crops' from Suleih to Hurtsville,
and to make two side trips. I also
talked with some of the leading
farmers in l,ee and Darlington coun?
ties. My observation on this trip
and conversations confirm 'my own
Opinion thut crops of corn and cotton
are damaged 50 per cent.
Mr. 8am McCall told me that Flor?
ence cotton is damaged 60.per cent.
Mr. t>. It. Coker told me that from
information gathered by his cotton
expert-''and Mr; Bright Williamson,
who is one Of t;he most! careful men 1
know, in all Orbis statements, both of
whom had madfc extensive- surveys,
that the cotton- crop of Darlington is
ctit He said Mr. Williamson re?
ported- 15 to 20 per cent, completely
lost and the other damage makes up
the 50 per cent. Mr.-Coker estimates
the damage on his Oorn that fs the
least injured of any i havbseen, lit
35 per cent. We 'shucked back the
ears and it Is *?asy to see where the
loss is not counting the rot that is al?
most stire to fofldw.
His Cotton crop will need the best
of conditions from now On to make
2-3 oVk crop. He thinks that the
damage east of the Mississippi river
is so great that prices are bound to
be better, if farmers will markefc ju?
diciously. He advises that on thr first
Indication of weakness * that farmers
Warehouse their-'fcottoh Und borrow
nfongy Oh ?f ttt moef'their de:>ts. He
thintts ttie farmers"ougfht td compel
the bank* to J?rn th\* refleral rtserve
system^and explained that CottOn re
Ceitrts'are* glvfhg' the banks th'etr best
paper and the paper oh which they
get their cheapest money. That
bnnks get their cotton notes discount?
ed ftt: Richmond at * 1-2 per cent.
Wheli the Farmers' Union was
stronger it began on the 1st Friday in
Augtfst of each year a fight to secure
the cooperation of the farmers and
bankers and business men to protect
the price of cotton. It seems to me
that' this is an opportune time for us
to get together and once more make
the Farmers' Union a power in the
business life of the south. Every bus?
iness man and banker in the county is
interested in bringing relief out of the
fearful crop disaster. The only way
is to urge the farmers to get together
and with the banks use the federal
resferve banks to the limit. WIM they
do it? Will the farmers organise?
The lists are closed in politics so that
it cannot be charged that this letter
has any political significance.
I have quoted from Mr. Cokcr, be?
cause he is not Only a successful farm?
er, cotton" buyer and business man,
but is a director of the Richmond re?
serve bank and knows what he is talk?
ing about. He said to me yesterday
that the best thing the government
had eVer done for the people is the
establishment of this system by which
they can get cheap money on their
cotton and thus be able to market it
gradually. It is perfectly practical
for the patrons of the banks to force
them to consolidate where they are
too small to join the reserve .system,
but they are not going to do it us long
as they can charge a higher rate of
Interest, nor will Individual effort on
the part of the farmers make them
get Into the big system where they
can do so much more good and where
in the end it will be more profitable
too. But let the farmers come to?
gether and send their commitees to
wait on these bankers, and we will see
results, just as we have in the past.
1 suggested to Mr. Coker that the
small banks could discount through
the member bunks. His reply was
"They can, but they will have to pay
a 'rake off which they might as well
save."
I heard a man say on the lloor of
the tobacco warehouse that "many a
farmer had to sell his cotton In the
past and It will be so still." Is it not
probable that if all the banks were In
n position to use the reserve system at
first hand and our people were or?
ganized, that every farmer could ho
his cotton off a weak and declining
market? I think so and it is worth
trying.
Unless something tangible is done
to make this crop bring all it Is worth,
boosts rtrips will not do much good,
and l call upon the boosters to join
me in the slogan "Living prices for
all the farmer has to sell." And then
work to make that come true. Only
in this way, Mr. Booster, can you sell
the goods on your shelves at a profit.

Hard Times Dots.
Dark Corner, Aug.' 2.?Politics are
s?ll cool. Very few from here went
to Kumter yesterday to hear the can?
didates tell the "dear people" how
well ti?ey loved them and how hard
they would and had always tried to
serve them (the people).
But When they are elected that is
all they care. When they get the of?
fice, <lon't they riut on airs? Old "H.
T." stayed at home arid tried to save a
little fodder.
The storm on the 14th of July did
ttfl but little harm, but rains of last
week have nearly ruined cotton and
young corn. All the corn and cotton
on bottom lands are drowned out arid
are dead. So crops in this section are
sure to be short.
We had another heavy shower of
rain here this morning. The mulatto
gang (the yellow files) have about left
us, but, oh my! the grey legion (the
mosquitoes) are upon the job. Tho
woods are full of them. They have
not pestered us at night as yet.
Mrs. J. E. Johnston visited her
father, Mr. C. H. Johnston, at Tindal

Well, if the great war is to close
upon Seputember the 7th, as predict?

right in some of his predictions and
hope he is wrong in seme. Hope we
will not have the war with Japan that
he predicts. We are not needing
any more war just yet awhile.
For If I wore King of France,
Or better still, tho Pope of Rome,
I would have no fighting men abroad
Xor weeping maids at home.
But let us have:
Peace at home and friends abroad;
Love our wives and serve the Lord,
Which is the duty we owe to our coun?
try,
Our selves and to our God.

Little Decrease in ('lull Enrollment
Mm it'll
A comparison of the total club en
rollment for Sumte:- county for 1910
with that of 1 'J14 shows a decrease of
fifty names on the club rolls. In view
of the fact that it was generally re?
ported that the enrollment ibis year
Would not be as heavy as in 1914, this
shows a very small decrease for Sum
ter county.
In the city the enrollment in each
club was increased, while in the ru?
ral precincts fourteen clubs had a de?
creased enrollment, while seven clubs
had an enrollment larger than two
years ago. A comparison of the er
rollment of 1911 with that of 1914

NATURE TELLS YOU
As Many a Sumter Reader Knows Too
Well.
When the kidneys are weak,
Nature tells you about it.
The urine is nature's index.
Infrequent or too frequent passage.
Other disorders suggest kidney Ills.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for dil
ordered kidneys.
Sumter people testify to their
worth.
Mrs. L. F. Adams, 508 Oakland Ave.,
Sumter, says: "I had dull pains in
my back, along with headaches, dizzy
spells and other symptoms of kidney
trouble. When I heard about Doan's
Kidney Pills, I procured a supply at
Zemp's Pharmacy and they relieved
me. One of the younger members of
our family also complained of head?
aches and pains in the back and was
annoyed by the kidney secretions
passing too freely. Doan's Kidney
Pills were also used in that case and 1
relieve all the ailments."
Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy?get

Mrs. Adams had. Foster-Milburn Co.,
