statements to be sent by the colleges

enormous attendance and the neces-

Spartanburg special Of August 13,
to News and Courier: The ordering
Of the dispensary election hangs fire.
The committee in charge Of the petit
tions sent the registration lists out to
the various precincts to have them cor
rected. The names OF dead men and
those who have changed residence are
on the list. After receiving the cor
rected lists they were handed over to
Supervisor Miles, who stated that he
could not act on them unless the COM
mittee could certify that they were
correct. In that he was no doubt

that the old lists are incorrect. Mr.. j.
j. Vernon Of Wexford, went over the
list Of that precinct carefully and
found more than fifty names Of men
who were dead or not living there.
The fact is revealed that registration
Of voters Is loosely managed. The
county commissioners and their clerk
have no way Of ascertaining how many
duly registered voters there are In the
county. When new names are added
they are put down on the old lists and
none are erased. The committee In
charge of the petitions are moving
carefully so that all legal requirements
may be complied with. The recent

AN OPEN LETTER
Mr.. Practical Farmer,
York County, S. G.

Mr.. Practical Farmer,
York County, S. C.
Dear Sir: You will soon be thinking Of
your fall plowing and while you are
thinking about 1t you will Of course
want the best Turn Plow obtainable
to turn up the soil. We want to re-
mind you that York County's best far
mers use and recommend the Oliver
Turn Plow and the oliver Middle
Busters. because there Is no longer
any doubt in the minds Of successful
farmers about the advantages Of deep
blowing, and they know by experience
that the oliver Is the best plow In the
world, it goes deeper and it's draft Is
lighter. We don't ask you to take our
statement on this point. Ask your
neighbor who uses an Oliver.
A gentleman who Is a successful
farmer, recently said to us: "One fall
/ started to turn big field with an
oliver plow, and after the work had
been partly done, something happened
that I had to quit for the time being.
Later on the balance Of the field was
plowed up with ordinary plows. The
field was planted in cotton and when
the crop came up anyone could see the
difference In the crop. Where the Oh
liver had gotten It's work In the crop
was decidedly the best, and another
thing the grass was not so bad on that
part of the field as 1t was where II was
lust plowed.'" The oliver Is little
higher in price than other turn plows,
but they are a great deal better and
will make good the difference in cost
during the first years crop. Every one
Is sold under a guarantee against de-
fects in material or workmanship.
Yours very truly,
CARROLL BROS.

some Of the coldest weather it has
had since 1855, if not the coolest
since settled by civilized man. The
official thermometer which is kept

Mary Best's ranch on the western
edge of the city, registered IS de-
grees below zero on Friday night
and 20 below on Saturday night.
The snow was nearly foot deep.
The freeze" !" however, was not as
severe as an ordinary Kansas biz
zard when the temperature is not
SO low. The spell was not ac-
companied by wind and hence did
not penetrate like billiards. do.
There was not a great loss OF live
stock and human suffering has been
kept down to minimum. But

ACCIDENTAL DEATH.
Charles Watson Dies From an Over.
dose Of Quinine, at Isabel.

Charles Watson, who works with
the Santa Fe carpenter force with
headquarters at Wellington, died
at Isabel in the north part Of this
county on Sunday night, from the
effects of all overdose of quinine.
Sunday evening he complained Of a
bad cold. He went to the drug store
and bought S cents worth OF quin-
Inc and took it, and at ten o'clock
that night he died. The dose con-
tained 90 grains. Ordinarily,
physicians say, this is not enough to
to kill a man but Mr.. Watson was
not in good health, his heart being
especially affected, and it proved
fatal.
Coroner Longenecker was noti-
lied early Monday morning and he
drove to Isabel and held an inquest
that afternoon. A post mortem
was held and the following jury i'm
paneled: LesterWhite, M. r. Bur
nett, w. .Tilden, D.H. Nossaman,J.
D. Stroll, J. M. Gibson. The jury
found that the deceased came to
his death through convulsions SUI
perinduced by an overdose OF quin-
inc, and heart disease.
DR.. Longenecker took the stom-
ach from the body and sent it to
the chemical department of the
State University for thorough an
alysis. This was done at the sug-
gestion of the citizens of Isabel SO
that there may be no doubt as to
the cause of death.
Mr.. Watson was an unmarried
man and so far no relatives could
be found. He was about 40 years
OF age and was always cheerful and
contented. There is no indication
that he contemplated suicide. The
remains were sent to Wellington
for burial.

A DEMOCRATIC BANQUET.

The publishers of the Index have
been invited several times by Col.
Bill Sapp, chairman of the demo-
cratic state central committee, to
attend banquet in Topeka on
Washington's birthday, Feb. aend,
and to send the price of a ticket
S2.oo-in advance. We would
very much like to comply with
both requests but as a rule an indi-
vIdual or individuals who have the
poor Judgment to engage in pub
fishing democratic newspaper in
western Kansas are afflicted with
the shorts, and the publishers oil
this paper are among the first TO
come under the rule. A democratic
state editorial association is to be
organized on this occasion wich we
doubt not will result beneficially to
the party, and we agree with the
chairman that every democratic
editor should be there, but right
here we want to predict that not
ten per cent. of them will be
present. 1t is lamentable fact,
and ii IS idle 10 try to conceal it,
that the democrats, and in fact all
the anti republican forces in Kan
sas, don't care a continental wheth-
er the newspapers of their political
faith survive or perish. There are,
of course, individuals who do more
than their part toward maintain
ing them but they are rare excep-
tions. Republicans everywhere
swear by their newspapers. They
support them loyalty and at all
times. They boost them incessant-
ly, both privately and publicly.
Whenever there is public patronage
to distribute the republican editors
get the cream, and herein lies one
of the secrets Of republican success.
However, we hope the banquet will
be Il success. Hon. Vim. J. BRYAN
is to be the orator which of itself
insures tremendous crowd, and
we hope everybody who is able to
do so will attend. The doors will be
open to all who hold tickets, and
if you want to be sure of a seat
write to Chairman Sapp today, en-
closing So.
