was made few days since. There are
3S regular members OF the club and
five "honorary." The meetings are
generally very fully attended, but, like
most associations of the kind, there
are times of gloom and dependency as
well as OF cheer and prosperity. The
good resulting from the organization Of
clubs in this neighborhood is beyond
question, not only in an agricult-
ural point of view, but socially. An
idea may be formed of the interest
manifested by the farmers and citizens
from one simple fact, that they have
maintained it in full force and vigor
for thirty-six years. Even during the
war, when every form of organized So
ciety had to yield to its arbitrary de-
mand the meetings were suspended
for only three months. The club is on
q firm financial basis and employs rs
surplus cash in improving its proper
ty. Distinguished gentlemen from all
sections who have visited the club, both
before and since the war. have ex-
pressed themselves as highly pleased
with, as they term it, the admirable
constitution of the club, and did not
hesitate 20 attribute much of its success
to that instrument. W. II. Atkinson

THE MILBRooK FARMERS CLUB OF AIKEN

the Beech Island club, but L regret to
say that it is not now in successful op-
Grafton. Strong hopes of les revival
are, however expressed.
LIBsoN FARMERS CLUE OF LAURENs.
"This club was organized March,
1879. Fifty members on the roll with
regular attendance 30 to so. We have
from time to time tried to induce our
organize similar organizations and are
determined whether they do or not
that ours will be kept alive. The in
fuence of the club is being felt all over
the county. There is gro wing dis
position on the part of the me mbers to
use improved implements, improve the
stock, ETC., and are determined also to
make our farms self-sustaining. I'M
proved modes of culture are being
adopted. More attention is being paid
to food crops for man and beast. Have
never held a fair yes; think of doing
SO next year on small scale. The
social features are exceedingly pleas
mt, especially during the summer
months, when we have its ladies with
us.
"We feel that If our farmers all over
tho State would organize into similar
clubs we would then be better able to
assist the department of agriculture in
this great work now being accomplished
by it. j. N. Wright, secretary pro

IRBY WITHDRAwS.
He Will Not Stand for Re-EIeStion iu
the Senate.


The Laurens correspondent Of the
State, in q short interview with 'Sena-
tor Irby, asked the following questions:
"Will you be at Manning next Monday
senator?" To which the senator said !;
81 shall not attend that or any CAM.
paign meeting as q candidate for the
United States senate. I had intended
up to short time ago to ask for the
nomination at the ensuing; primary,
but have concluded not to enter, tho
contest. From advices received from.
different sections of the State con-
clude that my motives and my official
acts for the last year have been misun-
derstood by the faction of which was
charter member. 1t is apparent from
these advices that / must nntagopiza
those with whom [ have co-operated
politically since 1856. It seems that
the entire machinery of the party
government has been organized TO
humiliate, defeat and destroy me-
This would not have been done. but for
q misunderstanding of my motives in
opposing the equal division of delegates
to the Constitutional lconvention, the de-
fense Of the name Of Butler in the con-
vention, my opposition to the plan Of
suffrage as adopted and the uncom-
promising position taken by me in op-
position to bolt in the late State
Democratic convention. In addition,
if were to run with my old friends
organized against ME, I could only ex-'
pect support from those heretofore
my political opponents, which would
be distasteful to me, as they owe ms
no fayors.
''In arriving at this conclusion,
desire to say that cherish no spleen.
towards those who 1 believe miscon-,
strle my motives and political course
recently, and confidently anticipate
the future to vindicate these positions
and policies"

HOMICIDES IN AMERICA.
Judge Parker Discusses the Causes In
the North American Review.

Judge l. c. Parker. of the United States
District Court Of the Western district Of Ar
kansas, discusses in the current number OF
the North American Review the causes
and the remedy for the recent homicides In
the United States The facts are placed
before us in such way that we cannot
contradict them. During the last SIX
years there have been 43. 9O2 homicides IN
this country, and average of 1917 per year.
within the same period there have been
723 executions and 1lS lynch!aSs. In the
last year 10, 500 persons were killed. where
as in 1890 there were only 29O, or less than
half rs many. The figures prove that
homicdal crime is increasing ut an alarm
ing rate. The Ineffective administration OF
the criminal law is blamed for this state of
affairs. David Dudley Fold says so; Justice
Brewer, of the United States Supreme Court.
says SO, and Judge Elliott Anthony, OF ILL
nois, is of the same opini, II. Judge Parker
also agrees with the other exalted expounders
Of the law and dwels on the false sympathy
that il always awakened for tho criminal and
finds no tender expression for the victim
few days after the crime has been perpetrated.
Judge Parker notes the indifference OF the
community ut large TO the enforcement OF
the criminal law. and points 10 the corrupt
verdicts which are the outcome Of fraud and
perjury.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
RICHMOND, Va, September 4-The
democratic district convention to nomina: :e
a candidate for Congress broke I'D last
night without having elected a permanent
chairman. The scenes were of the most
exciting character. and fights between op-
posing delegates took place at more or
less regular intervals. The chairman of
the Manchester delegation charged the Ell
lett men with fraud and bribery, and
stated that three OF his delegation had
peen bought, and that they had been Of
Tered 500 each to desert the standard Of
captain John Lamb for Captain Elicit.
Ihese charges were backed up later in
the evening with affilapits before a no
tary. 4.-.
w: E. Smith. r. L. Roberts and A. L.,
faine fariey are the members of the Manchester
delegation who deserted Captain Lambs
carse,and are presumably the men referred
TO by the chairman of the delegation
1t Is thought the adjournment last night
was precipitated by the fear OF disgraceful
disclosures in open meeting, ana the con-
vention closed in chaos to meet at IL O'Clock
today.
Almost Immediately on meeting this
morning the convention again adjourned
for a conference, and dark horse it is
now thought, will be the outcome in the
person of Judge Clopton of Chesterfield.
The published affidavits this morning
charging bribery by the Elicit men created
deep feeling in the city, and the bitterest
feeling exists between the Lamb and Elicit
delegation, men on both sides declaring
they will not support the nominee II the op-
ponent OF their candidate wins.

HE MEETS HIS CLERKS
Secretary Francis at the Interior Department
Today.
He Spends the Day FamiiiarixinE
Himself With the Routine of
Business.

Secretary Francis was at his desk in the
Interior Department promptly this morn
fng and spent most Of the morning famil-
iarizing himself, through the assistance OF
Private Secretary Cobb and the secretary
clerk, Mr.. Mills, with the routine of the
Office. A number of the higher officials of
the department, who were unable to meet
him yesterday, called and were introduced.
Some time was spent with Capt Womach,
the chief clerk of the department, in con-
sideration of pending business, At II am,
by appointment the Secretary received the
entire rank and file Of the clerks of the
depa1 tment, each CT whom was introduced
to him by name. To all he gave a pleas
ant greeting, and quite evidently impressed
himself upon his subordinateS as kindly
and judicious chief.
Not few among the great throng of
clerks were old acquaintances, whom he
had known in the west or had met on pre-
Vious visits to Washington. Secretary
Francis was not inclined to talk politics

RECEIVED A MEDAL.
The Inventor of the LanstOn Type
setting Machine HOnOred.


In January last the committee on science
and art of the Franklin Institute, PhIadel-
phta, one Of the oldest and most respected
scientific organizations in this country, ap-
pointed subcommittee of six members to
investigate the Lanston monotype machine
This machine is the invention of Talbert
Lanston, an old resident Of Washington.
and Its development has been due to the
enterprise and means of some of the lead
ing business men of this city. The subcom-
mittee of the Franklin Institute included
such eminent men in the fields of machine
construction ana printing as Hugo Bilgram
and Edward Stern, and others of equal
prominence in the sciences and in patent
law. This committee, after an exhaustive
study OF the machine in prac teal operate
In the office of the Philadelphia Inquirer,
has pronounced it IAN invention of the
highest Importance" and awarded to its
inventor, Mr.. Lanston, the Elliott Cres-
son gold medal" The Franklin Institute,
by endowments from leading citizens of
Pennsylvania, has been provided with
awards of differing grades, among them
certificates of merit, bronze, silver and gold
medals the latter, the Elliott Cresson gold
medal, being the highest award they can
or do bestow. Great care is taken in these
bestowals, the reports of the subcommit-
tees being discussed both in the full COM
mittee and in the regular meetings of the
institute, and an award Is then advertised
three months in the journal of the instf-
tute before 1t becomes valid. Mr. Lanston,
who has firm belief in his invention. has
received the medal, inclosed in a beautiful
plush case.
