get into the store, in the course OF his
remarks, which were very appropriate
throughout, congratulating the success

Meighen pleasantly alluded to the fact
that it was an "off year." and also re-
minded Mr. Pendleton that although
elected by 4 party, he would go to
Washington as the representative of the
whole people of this district.
In returning his thanks for the chair,
Mr.. Pendleton warmly complimented
the Installment Company for its mag

adequately express his qualification.
An appetizing little luncheon was
then spread by the Instalment Com

Speeches and Good Time

Hon. John O. PendletOn achieved

of voting had been given, and the mat
ter was conducted with the most Impair
tial fairness, from first TO last. The
people took big interest in this unique
idea of the Instalmcnt Company from
the start, and this was abundantly shown
by the fact that there was cast total OF
3,11s votes. The polls were closed Tues
day evening at 0 o'clock, ana ABOUT
seven o'clock last evening the ten
boxes containing the ballots were given
into the custody of the committee
selected to open the same and count the

III. Riley, Chairman of the Democratic
State Executive Committee, Hon. Au-
gustus Pollack, Il. +. Meighcn, Chair
man of the Republican State Executive
Committee, and Mr.. George j. Mathi-
son. This committee at once went to
work, and as fast rs the boxes were
cmptied bulletins were displayed in the
window of the Instalmcnt Company's
store, where they were eagerly read by
the crowd of several hundred people
congregated outside.
About quarter after nine o'clock the
committee concluded its labors, and at
once drew up and signed the following
certificate of the result
1--WE. the undersigned committee, APP

CHARLESTON, s. O., January
The grand jury in the United Statsssl \

be the widow of Richard Small who
served in the wa- of 1912. She Isl
about forty years cd The two
men made written agreement with
her by which tll. were to receive
two-thirds of the pension money
and the alleged widow the remains
ing third. The woman swore that
she was the wife of Joseph Lee, Of 4
Sumter Court House, and that she
was the widow of Richard Small
a soldier of the war of. 1912, In a
North Carolina regiment, and that
Small died in 1886, in Horny County,
in this State. The two other defend
ants swore to this affidavit and on it,
a pension was granted by Corporal
Tanner and the money divided be- 4
tween the conspirators. All the
parties arc negroes and as there
were no negro soldiers in the war Of
1912 and as Catharine Lee, the all
legged widow of private Small must
have reached the ripe old age Of
81 years, the fraud appears co be-
peculiar, particularly as Catharineg
Lee does not look over 40 years old.

The New Jersey State Board Of
Agriculture has sent a circular to-
the Department of Agriculture in
Columbia asking cooperation in Sc
curing action by Congress which
will allow reports of State agricnl-
tural departments, horticultural sos
cietics, &C., to be carried free i'm the
mails. Another circular from the
same source calls attention to
movement being inaugurated fortheI
establishment of q national board of
agriculture by congressional enact
ment. 1t is said that sixteen States
have already endorsed the plan, and
that Secretary Rusk is considering
its advisability. A preliminary
meeting of delegates from State de-
partments to be held in Washington
is talked of, and it is urged that
such board as is desired would con-
stitute an agricultural congress of
the United States.
