Drainage.
The drainage of our swamps and
low lands IS one of more than ordl-

1t is estimated that there are IN
South Carolina 4,7SO square miles OF
overhown and swamp lands, much OF
which could be reclaimed and made
healthful and arabic.
Gentlemen, if South Carolina is to
continue in her great prosperity

act and the provisions You make Tor

1 beseech you, therefore, that you
bring to the consideration of all mat

composed mostly of farmers. Mr..
Byrns severely criticised the action of
the Congressional Executive Commit
tee in calling an early primary which
he said was against all previous Gus
tom He cited in proof of this state
ment the calling of primaries in other
Congressional districts which will be
held in August. Mr.. Byrns claimed
the action of the committee was based
on typewriter Instructions from Hon.
John Wesley Gaines.
He referred in strong terms to Con-
gresham Gaines failure to secure
appointments on several important
committees, also to his bill increasing
the salaries of Congressman from So
900 to $500, which he said was done
when there was not money in the
Treasury to make appropriations for
damming and building locks in the
rivers which would greatly benefit his
constituents. He made special refer
ence to his position on the tobacco
question, and spoke along lines fol

.M'MINN COUNTY
FOR CARMACK
FACTIONS ADJUST DIFFERENCES
AND ALSO ENDORSE 8RY-
AN AND MOON.

ATHENS, Tenn, April 19.-One OF
the most largely attended democratic
mass meetings in the history of this
county was held here today. For sew
eral years there have been two execu-
tive committees in this county, each
claiming to be the regular one. In a
spirit Of harmony the party, rank and
file, and the leaders adjusted all diff
ferences and made provision for an
entirely new comittee. w. T. Lane
was elected chairman of the county
executive committee, with authority
to appoint the new membership. Mr..
Lane is pronounced supporter Of
Carmack for governor.
Resolutions were adopted, without a
dissenting voice, endorsing Bryan for
the presidency, Moon for congress,
and Carmack for governor. The reso-
lutions also strongly condemned the
state executive committee for ordering
the bogus county unit primary.
About five hundred democrats were
in attendance on the mass meeting.

EAST TENNESSEE
FOR EX-SENATOR
CARMACk WILL CARRY EVERY
COUNTY BEYOND THE CUM
BERLAND MOUNTAINS.

BRISTOL, Tenn, April 13.-The
coming democratic gubernatorial con-
test in Tennessee is attracting much
attention in this part of the state.
While the masses of the people are
unquestionably for Carmack, it is now
evident that Patterson will develop a
considerable following, but by no
means enough to give him hope OF
carrying any of the counties. The
whisky element, which formerly cut a
figure in local politics, is strong for
Patterson, while the temperance peo-
pie are lined up solidly against him
and are advocating Carmack.
The Patterson people have already
begun to demonstrate the methods
they will employ in East Tennessee
conventions. Last week a meeting
was called at Jonesboro by the Car
mack people, to organize a Carmack
club. The Patterson forces organized
at Johnson City and carried several
hundred to Jonesboro on a special
train, capturing the convention and
forcing the Carmack men to abandon
the court house.

MUST REMOVE
MERRY WIDOWS
COUNCILMAN WOULD HAVE BIG
HATS TAKEN OFF AT THE
BALL PARKS.

CINCINNATI, April 13.-When
women get to vote not one of them
will vote for Councilman O'Brien
That was settled this afternoon by a
resolution O'Brien introduced in coun.
Gil. 1t provided that any woman
wearing a Merry Widow" hat at the
ball park must remove that when the
game of ball commences, in order
that those men who have paid to see
the game will be able to see it."
Council as a whole is wiser than in
dividual members are, so the other
councilmen bounced the resolution
back to O'Brien by referring it to the
law committee, of which he is chair
man. The resolution calls for a fine
of $50 for each violation of it.
Councilman O'Brien says that since
the new headgear has become so fash
ionable, men in back rows of the seats
in the grandstand are unable to see
the ballfield.

.MAURY COUNTY
FARMERS SOCIETY
EVERY EFFORT WILL BE MADE
TO GET ONE or STATE
PRIZES.

The Maury County Farmers So
ciety met in the Court House Monday
with a good attendance. The object
Of this meeting was TO devise ways
and means to get an agricultural ex-
hibit in the State Fair for Maury coun-
". The premium list just issued is
much more encouraging for making
collected county exhibits than ever
before. Last year only one premium
of $1,000 was offered for the best
county agricultural exhibit, and how
ever near the other exhibits APP
preached the best there was no chance
for a premium. but this year $4,000 is
allowed for premiums in this class and
every county making an exhibit as
county will secure a share of this
money, enough at least to pay the
expense of freight, arrangement and
attention So it is the plain duty OF
all patriotic, home loving farmers to
gladly contribute the very best speci-
mems they can produce of all farm
products towards making a creditable
exhibit for their home county.
Maury county has as good farm
lands and as good farmers as any
county in the state and il we will only
try our proud old county can take the
first premium, which is five hundred
dollars, with a chance at a further
pro rata for Middle Tennessee. The
farmers present were unanimous IN
the desire to make an exhibit and
many present pledged the best efforts.
It was plainly expressed that this
concentrated exhibit from the county
was not to hinder or interfere, but
rather to encourage individual agri-
cultural exhibits at our Maury county
fairs, the class of exhibits that we
were short on at our fair last fall.
A membership fee of one dollar was
asked for to defray the freight and
necessary expense of making the ex-
hibit and other patriotic farmers not
members of the Society are respect
fully asked to help us to make this
move SUCCESSION the honor and
good name Of our grand old county,
let it be a success.

PLAN TO BURN
WHOLE TOWN
STARTLING DISCOVERY is MADE
BY COUNTY JUDGE AT
MURRAY, KY.
OFFICIALS ACTIVITY SAVES CITY
Another Night Rider Makes Con-
fession Of outrases
Proposed.

MURRAY. Ky. April 1.-THE most
startling discovery yet unearthed by
County Judge Wells in connection
with his efforts to run down the men
implicated in the raids on the citizens
NJ Galloway county came today in the
=. IN of an affidavit and confession by
another of the alleged gang of might
riders. which will make the citizens
OF Murray shudder when it becomes
publicly known. While Judge Wells
refused tonight to allow the name Of
the man making the confession to be
made known until after the others
implicated by him have been placed
under arrest, he permitted the ain
davit to be read for publication, and
il reveals a state of affairs existing
in this and adjoining counties which
few people outside of the might rider"
order could possibly imagine existed.
The most important bit of evidence
contained in the signed confession
tells of the raid planned on the town
of Murray, and which was to have
been carried out on Monday night,
March 26 last, and had it not been for
the activity displayed by Judge Wells
inst before and about that time it is
likely that most of the Galloway coun-
tv capitol would now be in ashes.
