The following extract is from t gpeeoh of Senator Laney at Camdi last Monday: George K. Laney also emphasiz that if he were elected he would < his utmost to see that all laws of tl state were enforced impartially. 1 would seek at all times to hold even the scales of justice between the hij and the low aVid the rich and tl poor. Mr. Laney said some one was to I elected governor within the next fe weeks. lie did not know whethi they wanted a man like him for go^ ernor, a man of the people, from tl people and a man for the people. Tl Chesterfield candidate spoke earnes ly of his efforts in the general assen bly 20 years, which he said were a ways with an eye single to servi for the masses of the people. H had always sought to be economica He had fought for lower approprif tions so zealously that he had bee often regarded as a crank. He woul fight for a reduction of a sum s small as $25.00. It was foolishness to tell the pec pie that the legislature had mad them bankrupt. The voters knew tha the legislators did not cause any rra to go hungry. At the last session o the general assembly the appropria tions of the state were cut from $5, 000,000 below 1921 and $2,000,00 would be raised by new tax measure ior wnicn ne nan taKen xne icaci i having1 created. These new measure hud cut the state levy five mills, thi amount being taken off real estat and personal property. Mr. Laney re ceiveu several bunches of flower when he had concluded. LANEY FIGHTS THE RING The Calhoun Times (St. Matthews has this to say of Mr. Laney: Geo. K. Laney, candidate for Gov ernor, pulled on his fighting clothe at Marion Tuesday. He says that hi saw the "political ring" at work dur ing the morning and urged the mei and women not be led to the poll "like sheep to the slaughter," aa< that "we will be governor." Tlv Times outlined the sly campaign o "The Columbia ring" last week aiw we are glad Laney has dragged then from the underbrush and forces then to fight in the open. They know tha Laney in the second race can bea Blease by a much bigger majorit; that McLeod but they have doubt: about putting a ring in Laney's nose. I. B. MERRIMAN UNAFRAID Mr. I. B. Merriman walked int< The Advertiser office several day; ago with a handful of fine long staph cotton, 1 \\ inch, that was opened this season. He has ninety acres of this cQtton planted on and around April 15th which began to open on the 26th o July. This cotton, which he calls 90 day long staple, he developed fron two varieties. He believes he is goinj to pick the largest yield of cotton this year that he had had in sevral years Mr. Merriman is by far the most op tiniistic farmer on the cotton outlool with whom we have conversed thi summer. He firmly believes he has th< solution of the boll weevil problem which is briefly: "The use of a quid producing variety; early and repeat ed use of sweet poisoning; prope fertilization and rapid cultivation." As to the results of his method e poisoning he cites the fact that las year he was eaten up with weevil am this year, though they were present ii his fields early, there are none t be found there now. He believes that if the weevil shouh suddenly appear in his fields now ii great numbers he would be too lat to do much harm as his crop is prac tieally made.

Eight or ten stomach-pumps were being operated at once in the Towsend Building at 1,123 Broadway and in nearby office buildings. Nearly all those who were suddenly taken ill reported that they had eaten pie in a restaurant in the Townsend Building. An inquiry was made to discover whether a line of poisonous pastry had . ? been sent out by any wholesale house, in which case similar stomach-ache panics might follow all over the city, but it was discovered that the restau rant in question advertised that all its pastry was made on the premises. The first victims of the ill-made pie sickened between 2 and 3 o'clock in the afternoon. Men and women employees in offices fell over on the floor or cried out in agony. Panic prevailed on some floors in the Townsend Building as one employe after another turned pale, then blue and began to complain of intense pain. At first private physiians were called. They administered emetics and sent for stomach pumps. The first physicians were helped by volunteer assistants, among the other employes. But the volunteer assistants began to grow qualmish and uneasy and the demand for stomach pumps outran the supply. Office after office was converted into an emergvncy hospital. Big buildings began to take on internal appearance of ocean liners after the first rough sea. It soon became apparent that there was some far-reaching common cause for all the agony. Never having heard of a stomach-ache epidemic, physicians began to crossexamine the least afflicted of their patients. The sick ones told where they had lunch and what they had eaten. Tho sick ones had all lunched at the restaurant nearby Tbev bad all had pie. Before the eight or ten private physicians had finished tracing the cause, the casualties had become so heavy mat employes were sent out for ambulances. Calls for help were repeated until ambulances from New York, Belevue and two other hospitals had arrived. All hands were orded to the pumps. Between fifty and sixty had been treated before the last of the victims discovered their plight. MIDDENDORF Crops are looking fine in this section. The boll weevil is very active. Mr. S. D. Hodges spent Saturday night at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Newton Hoffman. Mrs. C. D. Johnson and children have returned to their home in Gastonia, N.

Dynamite Used to De*troy Still Greenvile, S. C., July 29.?What is declared to be the largest and most complete distilling plant ever seized by raiding officers was captured near here by a group of Federal prohibition officers. The outfit was too large to be destroved with 4 *' ' aim iwo SUCKS Ot dynamite were set off under the apparatus, blowing it to bits. The plant consisted of a large brick furnace, over which was a steel riveted boiler having a capacity of approximately 400 gallons. Two copper condensing outfits were connected with the boiler, each having a capacity of ninety gallons. Five thousand gallons of rye beer was poured out by 1 the officers. No arrests wore made.
