This North Carolina man is right

j. @. Stribling, Pendleton, s. c.,
Dear Sir: 1t seems that my inquiry
of Mr.. Brabham as to the way he
developed his COW pea so that it
would not shed it's leaves has de-
veloped some little interest in this
most important subject. 1t has sur
prised me no little that none of the
farmers in South Carolina took
enough interest in this subject to
ask about the matter. Why was
this; because they had also devel-
oped this pea, and, therefore, had no
need to askp and if this is the case
why did they not give this informa-
ton to their brother farmers as Mr..
Brabham has donep 1 fear that it
is because the majority of farmers do
not yet realize the value of this
plant, and, therefore, do not take the
interest in it that they should. The
same applies to many other advances
as we'll as to the subject of this letter.
The average farmer has not yet real
lied thatone crop (cotton) will not
as rule pay.
am glad, though, that we are be-
coming more and more diversified
and that we see the value of raising
everything on the farm for home
consumption that can possibly be
raised. This is the salvation of the
farmers of the South, diversifying
and raising cotton as surplus crop,

The Candidates ior Governor.

There are five candidates for Governor
announced thus far: Cole L. Blease, of
Newberry; Richard 1. Manning, of Sum-
ter; John T. Sloan, of Richland; Joel K.
Brunson, of Sumter, and Martin r.
Ansel, of Greenvi'le.
On the issue of the State dispensary
system they line up somewhat like this:
Blease for the 'dispensary right or
wrong.
Manning for the dispensary'as State
system, reformed and reconstructed ac-
cording to the scheme set forth in his
bill before the General Assembly at the
last session.
Sloan for the dispensary with details
of his platform yet to be announced.
Brunson for unqualified prohibition.
Ansol against tho State dispepsary and
for county option between local dispense
ries and absolute prohibition.
Obviously the field is not yet complete.
There is no representative of true local
option yet Offering. Mr.. Ansel comes
nearer the ideal than any of the other
candidates, but he fails to encompass the
situation, because he would restrict the
counties to choice between but two
systems Of liquor control. The true
principle of local option would leave it
to the counties to determine. each for
itself, the method of controlling the
liquor traffic bestsuited to its conditions,
restricted only by the terms of the State
constitution. This would naturally pre-
sent three options, county dispensary,
prohibition or the license to operate, of
course, under the limitations prescribed
by the constitution. That would give
each community in the State the oppor-
tunity to choose for itself the form of
liquor control best adapted to it's people.
1t ought to satisfy everybody who is un-
selfish or without fanaticism, and surely
the people ought to want at the head Of
their affairs man who has an eye single
to the welfare of the whole body polite
and is reasonable in his own dispositions.
There arc among the candidates who
have announced themselves men of very
fine personality. But this is not an
issue of personalities, though no man
should be voted for, whatever his plat
foim, who is untitled in personal charac-
ter to preside over the affairs of the COM
monwealth. But a great issue is before
the people and it should be decided upon
its merits. The issue is whether the
State shall continue its monopoly of the
liquor business, with all the attendant
corruption which it has been proved by
thirteen years. trial is incidental and
unavoidable to such a business, imposing
upon some communities conditions ut
terly repugnant to their people, or shall
leave it to the people of those communi-
ties to establish for themselves condi-
tions which they believe to be best
adapted to their good. OF the candi-
dates thus far announced none repre-
sents the true alternative to the first
proposition.
There is room in the field for a candi-
date who will make his liquor law plat
form of the options given in the consti-
| tuition, and we shall be disappointed if
such an one does not appear.

DON'T VOTE FOR GRAFT.

1t is just as honorable for a county
official to purchase tax certificate as
it is for an individual to buy enc, and
if Mrs. c. Cate committed crime, so
did John Thompson, the fusion candi-
date for auditor. The whole thing is
piece of blackmail hatcned up for
the purpose of prejudicing the voters
against Auditor Ramstedt. The News
makes no apology for the public acts
of Mr.. Ramstedt, for the very nature
Of the attack is more Of a compliment
than anything else. So we'll has he
conducted the Office that nowhere can
the opposition place finger on a sin
gle place and say, here is an arror.
And they would defeat Mr.. Ramstedt
and place in the auditors office man
who owns an abstract Office and who
wants the county to help run it. AS
auditor Mr.. Thompson could furnish
himself with an abstract of all records
at the expense of the tax payers and
enjoy graft that would make the howl
about tax titles look like nickle in a
fog. The extra help that Mr.. ThomD-
son employs to copy records at the
court house will, if the voters place
him in the court house, be done at
public expense and amount to rake
off for the abstract firm Of Thompson
Bros. of several hundred dollars each
year that John Thompson holds the Of
fee of auditor. How do you propose
to help pay the expense Of running an
abstract office that is not owned by
Latah county, Do you propose to
turn the most important Office in Latah
county over toa man who wants the po-
sition simply as a side issue for his
private business? You howl about
graft and then proceed deliberately to
consummate a graft that is an outrage.
Better retain tried and trusted official
whose only sin is that some other fell
lows mother-in-law purchased a few
tax titles than to deliberately elect a
man who wants the Office for the sole
purpose of building up his private bus

when he was introduced. A more elo-
ouent and forceful speech was never
delivered in Weiser, while his keen
wit and cutting sarcasm always brought
forth applause. His discourse on the
achievements Of the republican party
was strong, and his appeal to republic
cans to remain true to the Tarty was
Iogical. When he reached the Nor
mon question, he invited anyone in
the audience to ask any question upon
any point Of the controversy that he
did not make clear.
Many questions were asked by dem
ocratic leaders Of this city and when
the senator had finished he had made
Frank Hirris admit that the article OF
the constitution which relates to poly
gamv and illegal cohabitation was SELF
onerative md that it did not need any
law TO put it into effect. The senator

any cases Of polygamy he would prose-
cute them, to which Judge Harris re-
pheo that there were none in this
county. Mr.. Hepburn said that was
generally the way, that when he was in
Cassia county the Dub, isites said that
Ihngs were in horrible shape in
