Y. Times. One does not have to be pro-German in his sympathies to wish for the j Deutsehland a safe return. The pluck, j inventive genius and daring displayed in the building1 and operating of this sea" wonder, would exact from Germany's enemies merited praise. The public has been informed by almost all newspapers of the steady rise in the price of print paper. Just j how great is this additional tax can I be realized when we say that one year atro a dollar would buy as much as * . I two and a quarter dollars will buy i today, an increase of 125' 1. ???????????? Mr. Ilughes, Republican nominee for president, can see i ot one com- i mendable thing that the Democrats,! particularly Mr. Wilson and his cabinet, have done. A man that blind lias no business being chosen to the ' exalted position of president. He is too blind to see a point, r.o matter i how plain it is. We honestly believe that the coming election will strengthen the vision of Mr. Hughes. i Last week we published an incomplete list of the enrollment. Fourteen precincts enrolled 2,-171 names. To this must be added: Buffalo, .18(5; Santuc, 155; Adamsburg, 75; Carlisle, 78; Gibbs, 41; E. K. Mills, 225?a total of J,431. This is very little dif-1 ferent from the enrollment two years ago. In fact, if the people do not get i their choice of the candidates in thej running, they have no one to blame ; but themselves. The crop of candidates is complete with this issue of The Times. Friday, August 4th, was the last day for : entering the race Thee is a goodly' number, but not as many as we have j had on some former election. The opening of the campaign will take J place at Monarch Saturday afternoon j at 2 o'clock, August The indica-; iions are that we are to have a cam-j paign free from bitterness. The sensible people of the county hope that this condition may prevail. The degree to which the public has come to depend upon the newspapers has been demonstrated during the re-1 cent floods. The daily paper, coming regularly, and revealing the happenings throughout the world, was fdling ' its place in the life of the people, but like the sunshine and air, two of our greatest blessings, was seldom thought of until suddenly cut off. I'eople have come to need the papers. Just how much they do not realize until the papers suddenly stop. From reports throughout the country the evidence of the pood effects from the suppression of the liquor traffie are seen. The notable diminishing of crime is not to be disputed by even the most rabid liquor advocate. And that is the chief thing. , That it does not hurt business to suppress the traffic is also being demonstrated. An examination of the police court records here will convince any fair minded man that there is less lawlessness. In time the business interests will be able to discern that ' business has been helped by the going ' of the liquor business. ( ARE JUDGES TO BLAME? ! The Advocate has often called at- ] tention to the lenient treatment of blind tigers by the circuit courts. , It is naturally hard to secure evi dence sufficient to convict a liquor , seller, and when they are convicted, ( the effort to nunish them is often . nullified by the leniency of the solicitor and the judge. It has been ( the custom of judges, to let the con- , victed blind tigers off with the low- ( est fine allowed by law, which is | nothing more or less than a system of licensing the blind tigers. Num- ( hers of times we have known part , of the minimum fine to be suspended, thereby reducing the license to what ( the culprit could conveniently pay. It was on account of this condi- ( tion of affairs that the legislature, through pressure from the pcop'c of Si ate. nassed a law to 'he effect 'ha' no convicted liquor seller should! tie iei of" with a tine, but should serve time on the chaingang or in prison. Ilut the judges are evading and nul- 1 li'fying this law by "suspending" part J of the sentence. They are still letting the blind tigers off with a license fee, : or without any punishment at all. Read, in another column of this is- 1 sue of The Advocate, the article from : The Union Times, about a magistrate ' being savagely attacked by a notorious and habitual blind tiger. The Times says: Charles has previously figured | conspicuously in the city and county courts upon the charge of | violating the liquor law. He j pleaded guilty in the last crim- j inal court here to the charge of liquor selling and was given six months and $">00. THE SENTENCE WAS SUSPENDED EX- ! CEPT AS TO $200. and upon good behavior. In other words, he was allowed to continue his liquor selling business ; for the low license of $200, in de- | fiance of the law. ,1 After this, he was again indicted < for selling liquor, but the "good be- , Vi # VtS rt Vrttri or* woe of ill lint on_ forced. Then he brutally attacked the ] magistrate who issued the warrant; j hut this, too, is evidently considered ( "good behavior" by the court, for he ( has not yet been sent to serve the t six months sentence which was eondi- j tionally suspended during "good behavior." These "good behavior" con- ( ditions rarely aYnount to anything. They are merely put in the sentence as an excuse for nullifying the law and licensing the blind tigers. If Charles had been sent to serve ( his six months' sentence, as the law s plainly requires, he would not have ^ beer, selling liquor again so soon, and j lie would not have been assaulting the . magistrate and showing general car.- ' tempt for the law and its officers. What is the matter with the judges? Is it leniency of heart toward the blind tigers? They certainly do not fear the treatment which the crippled magistrate receive. Do they fear anything??Fee Dee Advocate. AFFOINTKI) ATTOKNKYS TO EXAMINE TITLES Messrs. T. II. Munro, S.

FIGHT ENLIVENS STATE CAMPAIGN ADAMS AND DESCHAMPS CLASH AT MANNING. Some Blood Spilled?Gubernatori I Candidate Suffers Somewhat in Encounter Near Speaking. Manning, Aug. 2.?A person encounter between Dr. E. C. L. Adams of Columbia, candidate for lieutenant governor, and John M. DesChamps of Columbia, candidate for governor, look place on the hotel porch here this afternoon. Mr. DesChamps was struck above the temple on the right side and considerably blooded. Solicitor Robert A. Cooper and Charles Verner, with some others, pulled the contestants apart. Mr. DesChamps was bleeding profusely but a physician stanched the flow of blood. The combatants were put under bonds of $15 each by Acting Mayor Barron. The row took place on the porch of the hotel just as the last speaker was addressing the campaign crowd on the court house square several blocks away. Dr. Adams, asked about the matter, stated that he was conversing with Mr. DesChamps on the hotel porch and made a pleasant reference to some incident on the train the other day going to Sumter. Mr. Des''humps, said Dr. Adams, replied with wnii' show of heat and in the ensuing o.ivci.sation told Dr. Adams that he :.s tin d of his "following him up." Dr. Adams gave the lie to this charge, whereupon, he said, Mr. DesCha"mps reached in his pocket, he supposed for a knife, and he then hit out, knocking Mr. DesChamps down. He struck with his left hand. Before any more blows were struck bystanders trot hold of each one. Dr. Adams said that he tried to avoid a difficulty Init when he thought Mr. DesChamps was going to draw a knife he struck. Mr. DesChamps said that he was sitting on one side of the hotel porch ivhen Dr. Adams came and sat down jeside him. There was some conversation between them, he said, and he irose to walk away and Dr. Adams lit him when his side was turned, fie said he stumbled and fell over some chairs and before he could rise id get back at him he was caught mil held. He said Dr. Adatns had ieen "following him up" for several lays and he had tried in every way to avoid him. Eye witnesses to the affair say that after the blow was struck and Mr. DesChamps was down he arose and nad drawn his knife out when he was :aught by Mr. Cooper and atiothec man, and that Mr. Verner had already Lx. 1 1 J - * I"\?

Beware of stagnant water around >r near your premises, for it may result in serious illness, or worse, in ,'our home. In view of the frequent rains that lave fallen for so many days, causng the ground to become thoroughly saturated with water, too great care annot be observed by every family o see that their premises are well trained, and that no stagnant water scapes unnoticed. Look around at once, exercising ^articular care as to cans, buckets ,'nd tubs, which may be partially or ompletely tilled with water. See that hcse are emptied immediately, for here are no better breeding places Y?i* mnsriiiitYWK. which hpincr troublesome posts, tormenting one vith their irritating stings, are con/eyors of disease germs, especially malaria, than which there is no trouble, which while not desperate, makes one feel worse. If there are grass and weeds growing rank around you, let the sunshine in. At any rate be prepared ror the sunshine, by having all he&Vy growth removed. See that poultry houses, stables, ind other outhouses where rubbish >r filth of all kinds accumulate, are thoroughly cleaned up, for these are tnown to be the very best breeding daces for flies, and flies are not recognized as one of the most dangerous transmitters of diseases. Everywhere put plenty of lime or other good disinfectant, such as well liluted creolin, or diluted carbolic icid, wl.Uli will not only destroy disease germs, but correct any offensive odors. II there should he a pool, or pi&ce ivhere stagnant water stands, and hich it is impossible to drain, then >our kerosene oil on the water, as hat prevents the breeding of mosquitoes, and the place becoming a terminating hole for other pests. If you have not already done so, u-reen the doors and windows of your nome. Do it even if you have to do j without some other things, for keepng out flies and mosquitoes may mean the difference between health ind comfort, or a long tedious and expensive illness, and may be death. Don't leave all these things to be lone tomorrow, or some more convenient, but for the sake of your family and your community, attend to them immediately. L. C. Wharton, Mayor. J. E.
