THE BLUE RIBBON.
Sheriff CorIeY, of Lexington, Wins
the Prize.

Country newspaper editors are u.s.
ually considered "big folks'' in their
respective communities and this sea-
son of the year especially they are the
recipients of many generous gifts in
the way of farm produce from their
subscribers. Brother Smith of Green
Pond brings in "the finest melon OF
the season." Sister Harris sends in a
dozen fine eggs; "mess" of new
potatoes comes from Mr.. Bill John
Johnson; ham from good old sub
scriber across the creek; bushel Of
apples from esquire Wilkins" a gal
lon of cider from "our old FRIEND"
Joshua Jenkins; a hamper basket
filled with "mush'' melons from "Dear
Sister Robinson of Old Town." etc.,
etc. The editor is not unmindful of
these many favors and his papernev
fails to carry short local acknowledge
ment, telling how thankful "ye
editor" is for each contribution.
A lot of human nature is displayed
each week in the columns of these
weekly newspapers and "city fellers,"
trudging away on their daily grind for
the morning edition, often envy these
fellows who are the real lords of the
editorial sanctum-who get their
hands in the ink on press days and
feed their stomachs on the best of the
land every day and Sunday, too.
But-the city fellows who help to
make the big daily papers come in
for a share of the good things occa-
sionally. Now and then there is
man who remembers the hard-work
ing reporters and the men who grind
out copy at their desks night after
night. P. H. Corley, the sheriff of
Lexington county, is one of the men
who has thought now and then of

he dropped into The State Office and
left the very finest watermelon seen
here this season. 1t was "a beaut,"
as the urchins say and the reporters
did not lose great deal of time in
"getting next" to it's heart. 1t was a
large melon-some of the boys say it
weighed an even 100 pounds-but
then it probably did not weigh quite
that much. Everybody got slice
from the city editor down, and there
was some left over for the porter, who
remarked some minutes after he de-
voured his portion, II sho' does wants

STIRRING UP VOTERS.
Fifteen Thousand May Leave Wash

Washington, Oct. S.-One hundred
and sixty voters have left Washington
to take advantage of the first reslSls-

themselves 50 that they may be able
to cast their ballots for Taft and Slcr-
man in November The men obtained
return trip tickets at the price nf fare

agreed that all voters who desire to so
home on election Or registration day
may have the same rate.
Henry NJ. Champ, president of the
District Of Columbia League of tepnb-
lican Clubs, has established headquar-
tiers here under the direction Of the
Republican National committee for the
purpose of sending voters home on
Election day, and he predicts that at
least $1,000 men will leave the various
governmental departments.

will also go to New England. New 1er-
sew and Pennsylvania and we are max
ing a special effort this year TO se:id all
Southern Republicans home. Owing to
4 peculiar election law in Maryland,
enacted by the state Legislature al the
instance of the late Senator German,
no one can vote in that state unless he
is resident This law deprives the Re-
publican party in Maryland of at least
$500 votes.
EARLY last week more than 100 first
voters left Washington for various
places. in order that they might be en-
rolled 30 days before election. as many
states have this law. Practically all the
railroads have agreed to give voters
having our certificates a one-anu-a half
rate to their homes. This year is the
first in which systematic effort has
been made to corral all voters and in
view of the many So-called doubtful
states the men from Washington liay
cut a great deal of a figure. At "ny
rate, they will help to swell Mr.. Tart $
