Those who are sur? prised thereby show that they are un acqualned with Senator Lodge's poli? tical and ?o?c*lled historical writings. There has not lived during the period since the War Between the States a mors persistently malignant and consistently unfair enemy of ths South and all men nnd things South? ern. In his books, magaslne articles and public addresses he has garbled facts, misrepresented the motives and acts of the South und its represents. tlve men. and where it was necessary to arrive ut the conclusion he desired ban not scrupled to suppress well au? thenticated hlstorldal renords. Henry Cabot Lodge hss always been a bitter, malignant and unscrupulous enemy of the Democracy and the South, Its cradle and abiding pluce, and the fact that Wilson Is a Southerner by birth and that the Democrats rontnd the national government under his wise administration. Is all ths Incen? tive he needs t ? go any length to at? tempt to discredit Wilson and the I?emocratlc party In ths eves of the nation aud of the woild Lodge Is a Character und reputation sssusstn ami / for a life-time has used his venom tipped pen to slander and injure a people and a section he hates. As a purveyor of misrepresentation and slander Lodge is an adept from long practice and natural aptitude. Look ni the Figures. In the first primary. August 20, 1916, the total vote cast was 137,081. Two *eeks later the voto was 13S, 254, an increase of 453. In the llrst primary tho opposition vote to Mr. Please was 73,417. In tho second primary- the vote in oppo? sition to Mr. Blease, electing Mr. Man? ning, was 71,489, a decrease of 1, 928. The vote of Mr. Illeaso in the first primary was 84,384 and in tho sec? ond, 66,786. The increase was 2,401. Why that increase? Why the dropping oft in the oppo? sition vote? Had there been fraud, corruption or intimidation on the part of Mr. Manning's supporters, tho opposition vote to Mr. Blease would naturally havo been INCREASED in the sec? ond prlmury. In fact it was diminish? ed. On tho other hand, the vote of Mr. Blease was Increased. Everybody knows that the factional lines wero sharply drawn in the t\v.,i primary. The thing to be explained Is: How was the voto of the Bleaseite party increased? I, Granting, for the argument's sake, (that t .e increase in the total vote In kfce second primary, 463, went to Mr. blease, he received 1,94? of the votes ' fff the opposition as cast in the first primary. The opposition to Mr. Blease lost in the second primary 1. 928 votes. Yet there Is talk about "fraudcV* Whoever heard such rot? However, if any man wants an ex? cuse to violate the primary oath, he WILL. FIND IT. If any man wishes to beste** that there were frauds, he will have no trouble in believing it. ?The Henry Ford's Example. You can tell an up-to-date manu? facturer th*ee days by the way he keeps his factory property. Take a look at various factory premises. ?Note the. care in some; Pole the neg? ligence In others. Do you know that Henry Ford in his b^j Detroit auto MSstosttsMutoi i?ss his employees trill not spit in these white painted corners. The white paint makes it show up too plainly. This simple little device saves Mr. Ford hundreds of dollars In cleaning expense. It chocks an ugly, filthy practice that is intensely unsanitary- It leems a little thing; but It ? i U is a big one. It is an earne* in the direction of cleanliness ai.d healthfulness. This is but one item of care. Thero are many others. That is why his factory is a model of sanitation. All up-to date manufactures are realizing the value of this interior and exterior cleanliness. It is an economic loss to have employees staying home because of sickness. And, yet, much of this sickness Is due to the unsanitary con? ditions Inside the isctory Itself. No man deseryes a clean home who maintains of dirty factory.?Selected Lefloy Springs Licked. The Supreme Court on Saturday handed down a decision dismissing the case brought by Leroy Springs and others. This suit was brought by Springs, a minority stockholder In the Lancaster News .against the ma Jorlty stockholders to restrain {hem from electing Luther Ellison as edi? tor of the News. Springs does not like Ellison and did not want him aa editor of the puper. It was the opinion of newspaper men all over the State that Springs did not have a leg to stand on. What Springs will do now Is not known, but he had bet? ter sell his minority holdings and ?top a fight that is not doing Lancas? ter any good. ? Hock Hill Kecord. SUMTER COTTON MARKET.

Mutter Discussed und Plans Suggest? ed^?Will Have Surveyor Make Sur? vey and Recommend What He ridnks is Best. The meeting at Chamber of Com? merce yesterday, called to discuss the proposod Sumter-Columbia highway and crossing over Wateree swamp and river was attended by about fifteen Sumter citizens. The matter was discussed in va? rious forms as to the best kind of crossings from a low grade, low wa? ter mark embankment and ferry to a twenty-five foot embankment and bridge over the river. Ways and means of raising the funds were discussed. Some favor? ed the counties of Richland and Sumter being bonded for building a high water mark embankment and concrete and steel bridge, the road to be made a toll highway and the tolls demoted to paying off the bonds. Oth eri favored an ordinary fair weather, lov water mark causeway and a fer? ry. Others favored a public sub MtfJft^Jsg* K?tttleman suggest? ed eJTof tEeVa.ut^ part of the State'doing one dayV work with their cars and hands to build the roadway in a day. Finally it was decided to appoint a commit? tee of live to solicit funds to employ an engineer to make a survey and then make a report of cost with rec? ommendation as to what he thinks is the best plan. Messrs. L. D. Jennings, W. L. Lee, L A,. Prince, J. A. Warren and M. M. Platt were named as members of this committee. It was suggested by a gentleman present that the soliciting committee would doubtless find several hundred to one thousand enthusiastic automo? bil ids who ure very anxious for this cro;>.....g who will gladly fork over one dollar or more, per man, to pay the cost of the engineer's work and re? port. This would bo bcter than asking the usual small minority of about litty Sumter merchants and poofes sior.al men to pay tho whole cost, as Is usually dono for everything that money is wanted for of a public na? ture, In Sumter county, at least. ? MORE COTTON SOLD LAST YEAR. Nearly Four Thousndn Bales More Sold Last Year than This Season. Luring the months of August, Sep? tember and October there were 3, 770 more bales of cotton sold last sea*on than were sold this season dur? ing the same period. The total for last year up to the first of November was 17,329 against 13,559 for this sea? son up to November 1. The total by months was, last year: August, 1, 190, September 6,411; October 9, 728; for 1916, August and September 8,936; October 4,623. However, it must be taken into con? sideration that the sales for last year alsc Include those from the ware? house, If any wero made; while those given for 1916 are merely tor new coton. Last year moreover at the tlist of November something like 10,000 boles of cotton had been stored in the warehouse, while this year the amount stored does not near? ly come up to that figure.
