Entering INTO Politics.

In 1912 Mr. Davis entered politics.
In 1914 he was chosen an cIector on
the presidential ticket Of Polk and
Dallas, and acquired considerable rep
utatlon as a popular speaker. In De
cesnber. 1S45. he took his seat as a
member of the House of Representa-
tives from the State of Mississippi.
In that capacity he took an active
part in the discussion OF the vital is
sues of the day, such as the tariff. an
nexation of Texas and the pending
difficulty with Great Britain growing
out of the Oregon question.
When the war with Mexico began.
he promptly resigned his seat in the
House of Representatives and &C
cepted the position of colonel OF the
First Volunteer Rifles to which he had
been unanimously chosen. on Sep
TENDER 81. 1916, he distinguished him
self in the battle of Monterey and
won fresh laurels in the battle of

HEMPHILL FOR SENATE.

The Southern division Of the Asso-
ciated Press, in convention assembled,
has unanimously endorsed Maj. Jas.
Calvin Hemphill for the United States
senate. This was at New York yester-
day, but echoes Of it are ringing in the
ears Of Washington. It happened in
this way: The Associated Press is di-
vided into the Eastern, the Western
and the Southern divisions. The
Southern division was presided over
at the New York meeting by Col.
Stahlman, Of the Nashville Banner.
II take great pleasure in announc-
ing to the Southern members Of the
Associated Press" began Col. Stahl-
man soon after the meeting opened,
that We have In our midst a man
who Is worthy to occupy the seat of
Calhoun, OF McDufie and Preston.
What is the will OF the assembly,"
II move sir" spoke up the one
who, out Of a dozen clamoring for
recognition, gained the floor, that
1t is the sense Of the Southern division
of the Associated Press that Lieut..
Col. James Calvin Hemphill, editor of
the Charleston News and Courier,
should occupy the exalted seat afore-
said and that it be the great pleasure
Of all newspapers belonging to the
Associated Press to promote the
Hemphill boom."
'All in favor. say ave. said the
chairman
With one accord, with one voice
and a ringing cheer from every throat
went up AYE"

man above the din.
The major is in Washington today
to get the hang Of things. He bought
his ticket to Washington this time
One fare for the round trip. This
morning he went over to have it ex-
tended. No trouble at ALL The clerk
was very obliging. All delegates to the
negro Baptist convention, he said, are
entitled to have their tickets EXTEND
ed. And the joke is on the editor OF
the News and Courier. He did not
know that the reason he was able to
buy a reduced ticket to Washington
was because OF this convention.--The

LATTA'S SCHOOL BURNED.

Loss viii Reach $4,000, With Insur-
ancc OF $2,3OO-Ffre Discovered al
Noon Hour.
Latta, Sept. 27.-Thursday at 12
o'clock the graded school building
was totally destroyed by fire with a
loss Of $4,000 or more, covered with
$4,000 insurance on the building and
furniture.
Fortunately the fire was discovered
while all the children were out of the
building during the noon hour and
all escaped injury.
If the fire had happened a few
months later it would not have fallen
so heavily on the town, for they have
already voted and sold $4,000 worth
or bonds to build a modern school.
1t is supposed that spark passing
out OF fiue lodged on top of the
building and was kindled by the wind
into blaze. The fire was on top Of
the building and with the wind to aid
it made rapid headway. In less than
40 minutes the building and most OF
its equipments were ashes.

Must be Careful While Travelling
Country Roads.
Columbia, Sept. 25.-The supreme
court has handed down decision,
laying down the principle that the
driver Of an automobile on a country
road must use every reasonable pre-
caution against frightening horses
and mules.
In cases Of danger, the court says,
the driver Of machine must not
only stop his machine, but cut out the
motor.
The case in which the principle was
announced was that of Thos. S. and
Caroline Rochester. Of GreenviIIe.
against J. A. Bull. manager of Chick
Springs Hotel. The plaintiffs alleged
that they were injured in runaway,
and that their horse was frightened by
Mr.. Bulls automobile. They sued and
Greenville jury gave them $3.50
damages, Mr.. Bull appealed and hence
the decision. which upholds the YER
dict OF the common plees court.

Further Strange Figures are shown I'm
the Transactions OF the Great Oil
Octopus.

New York, Sept. 27.-The Standard
investigation has developed that
there are credited to the operating
expense on the books Of the Southern
Pipe Line Company payments aggre-
eating four million yearly. All Of
the Standard oil is transmitted
through pipe lines named trainers. but
Comptroller George Chesbro could
not explain what these entries meant
and admitted that the legitimate ope-
rating expenses should be less than
four hundred thousand yearly. Also.
it was shown that the Buckeye Pipe
Line Company's cost exceeded nine
million in 1906, and it's earnings ex-
ceeded eleven millions, and it de-
posted all its surplus funds with the
National Transit Company.

This report covers six weeks. In
that time I have made 285 visits.
Have had three cases Of obstetrics
and assisted with three operations.
have treated several cases Of con-
tinued fever, but only two Of typhoid.
I have gone regularly twice weak ia
treat one old lady suffering with a
chronic trouble. For six weeks 7
have visited an aged person afflicted
with intestinal tuberculosis. She was
unfortunate enough to fall and break
her arm. This with the other trOu-
bic prostrated her.
Another old lady suffering, righ.
next door, with the same dread dis
ease rapidly succumbed. have still
another on my list, the one 7 con-
stantly refer to in my reports. Hers
is pulmonary tuberculosis. She Is
now walking about the house, but
feeble, of course. These patients are
much to be pitied.
1 was sent to assist q mother with
an extremely Ill baby. Nothing we
did helped in any way. and i'm three
days the little one had left us.
One patient have suffers excruciat-
ing agony every week or 80 with at
tacks caused from the presence of
gall stones. An operation in this
case is imperative. I can only re-
lieve the pain for the time.
The typhoid fever patient referred
to in my last report has been very
sick for the last six weeks with ma
larial fever and chills following the
typhoid. Now he is much better; ]
truly hope he will continue so.

The Southeastern Cotton Buyers
Association Is determined that no cot
ton bought by It's members shall be
loaded down with excess bagging and

adopted and circulars sent out to GIN
ners and cotton planters stating tina:
no bale must have over the regulation
wrapping, that Is. six yards Of bag
ging and six ties or bands. On all
bales having over this amount Of
wrapping there will be a. penalty
placed of fifty cents and this penalty
will be increased In proportion to the
amount Of excess wrapping used.
All farmers are urged to protect
their cotton from the weather as
much as possible. also. or the dam
aged cotton will have to be picked of
or a heavy allowance made for the
same.
Ginners are asked to be careful not
to allow the condensed steam to go
into the bale as this water-packs 1t
and the farmers will suffer the loss.
This action OF the association has
done much to stop the placing Of ex-
cess tare upon the bales and 1t As
