bin is drawn for the benefit Of the

pany, and of the Union Carbide Com
pany, of Sault Ste Marie which Is
owned by wall Street interests which
| controls the Peoples Gas Light and
Coke Company and are heavily inter

said, TO give to the Lake Superior Power

OUR HARPERS SCRIBE
VISITS THE COUNTY SEAT.
STRUCK With COURT HOUSE SQUARE I'M
PROYEMENT-TOBACC0 and TRUCK
SOME SENSIBLE SUGGESTIONS.

-SUMf 0ENSlDlE OUuuLOllUNos
Harpers, June 14:--Your scribe
visited the county seat last Monday,
the 9TH inst. and I must say that
the improvement made around onr
court house yard is wonderful.
The good ladies Of Kingstree de-
serve lasting credit tor the beautiful
lawn now growing green around our
court house grounds. | have been
Informed that this good work was
accomplished by the good ladies of
that progressive town.
The farmers of this community
are complaining of dry weather and
we are now suffering one of the
hottest spells ever experienced in
June. But one consolation is, 1t
it takes that sun to make King Cot
ton.
Mr. D W Avant, of this place,
brought to the store of the writer
one day last week a stalk pulled up
from a large field of cotton fully
waist high, which had several doz-
ems shapes or forms on 1t. Several
other farmers have fine cotton and
some fields of corn in and around
town are as fine as has ever been
grown in this community.
The bean patches are now growing
in corn, the bean vines having been
ploughed under as humus for the
land.
The writer believes that Harpers
and Rosemary will in the next few
years be one of the largest trucking
sections of South Carolina. We
have the finest truck lands in the
South, also tobacco crops flourish
nicely in this community. If there
be a market established in Kingstree
this year there will be hundreds of
acres of tobacco planted here in 1910.
(The Kingstree market is certain
ty-Editor The Record.) We hear
farmers daily expressing themselves
in reference to planting tobacco,
n. ng they could raise this crop If
Gney had near market for its sale.
The writer intends to use all the
influence he can exert to get the far
mers to diversity their crops more
and more every year. We have as
good lands as the world contains
and our people will come to the
front. The lower part of Williams
burg and Georgetown counties must
and by right ought to develop into
one of the finest farming sections
of the State. Our farmers each
year are cultivating better, fertlliz-
ing higher and diversifyiug their
crops, also increasing the size of
their farms every year. This low
country is bound to come into its
own. The advance in the price of
lands shows the fruit of the
development which is being made.
Anyone seeking a home in this Sec
tion can buy real estate cheaper now
than it will ever be again. We
only lack capital and plenty of
thrift and determination to make
this county grow as it should.

Amend Primary Law.

SPRING. I'D. III. Jan. 26.--Attorney
General Stead in his biennial report
made to Governor Deneen recon-
mended that the primary election law
be amended so as to provide for the
registration OF voters within thirty
days of the primary.
He says: "A voter who failed but
who was not removed, would seem to
be denied the privilege Of voting at a
primary. On the other hand voter
who failed to register at the last gen.
eral registration, but WHO removed
from his precinct since that time
would be permitted to vote"
No provision is made for that
class of persons who became OF age
since the last registration or the
date OF the last election, unless II
can be said that by becoming OF age
they moved into the precinct.
Some provision must therefore
be made either FOR a revision of the
register within thirty days of the
primary. or for a primary reglstra-
ton within that time"

POOL Is
LAWFUL BUT DOES
NOT SAVE TRUSTS

Frankfort. KY, Jan. 26.-(Spe-
cial.)-The appellate court in affirm
ing the commonwealth VS.. the Inter-
national Harvester company from
Hardin county, did so on account of
a defect in the indictment, which
failed to state that the trust had en-
HANGED the value of its machinery
above the real value: but the court
denied that the act of 1890, known
as antitrust act of 1890, was re.
pealed by the act of 1906, which per-
mitted farmers to pool products. The
effect of the decision is that the
farmers can combine to get better
prices, but trusts OF combines cannot
unite to enhance the price of an
article above its real value.

Senatorial situation.

Springfield. III. Jan. 26.-Senator
Hopkins had a conference with
about thirty OF his friends at the
Hotel Silas last night and urged them
to stand by the results of the pri.
mary. He expects a number of &C.
|cess.ons tomorrow including the two
Republicans from the First districe
|of Cook county.
Foss arrived late and opened head
quarters i'm parlor c. at the St. Mich
olas hotel. He says he has kept out
of the fight heretofore because Il
would be said that he was ignoring
the primary election law. That now
Senator Hopkins had had a fair
chance in the legislature and had fail
ed of reelection and he did not now
feel any delicacy in entering the list
in person.
Senator Hopkins said that the
country press were urging their MEM
beers to vote for him because he had
carried the state at the primaries.
Talk OF the Democrats again electing
a Republican other than Hopkins was
vigorously denied by the Democrats.
Governor Deneen and Senator Hop
kins had long conference late last
night.
