POLITICS IN EOGEF|ELO
TILLMAN. SMITH AND LEVER
MAKE SPEECHES.
Tillman Remarks That He Can Not
Say That He Will be a Candidate
For Reelection.

Edgefield, Oct. Ex-senator Smith
Congressman Lever and Senator Till
man, in the order named, spoke at the
fair grounds to a large audience here
today.
Mr.. Smith first made a strong plea
for an intelligent education, an edu-
cation that would go to the root of
matters and for a strict observance Of
law. He declared that the farmers
held the point of vantage for correct
ing the troubles from which they had
been so long suffering and could con-
troll the price Of cotton by putting
brains into their business. especially
In the way of scientific farming. He
told Of the burdensome tariff and how
he had In the senate tried to reduce
1t, standing for the Democratic prin-
ciple Of protection for revenue only.
He closed his eloquent remarks by
congratrlating the county on having
80 creuitdDle d Ialr.
Congressman Lever was at his best
and made a ringing speech, full Of
practical advice along the line Of rails
ing the necessities at home and
having cotton as a surplus crop. He
said that the Giving" question was
hard. The farmers can control the
price of cotton In the future, and the
solution Of the matter was for them
to produce everything at home that
was consumed in the making Of cot
ton.
Mr.. Lever declared himself a friend
Of Clemson College, but thought there
was lack Of real sympathy on its
part to the farmers Of the State and
that 1t was not meeting their needs
as 1t should along the lines of scien-
tific education.
Senator Tillman spoke with all his
old-time fire. He briefly reviewed his
political experience of the last 25
years and declared that he had given
his best brain to the service Of the
State, that he had three more years to
serve in the senate and could not now
say that he would offer for reelection.
He defended Clemson and said that
the trustees were doing all in their
power to find one who could fill the
presidents chair with satisfaction and
meet the different conditions and du-
ties demanded by the position. He de-
clared that If it was obstructed by
other members Of the board In carry
ing out what he thought was for the
good OF the college, he would then ap-
peal to the legislature. He defended
his position for voting to place a duty
on coal and raw iron, and said that
no one could question his Democracy.
He gave the editor Of The State q rap
for criticising his recent votes on the
tariff. He called upon the farmers to
| arrange for their own protection and
closed by complimenting the fair
managers on the splendid showing
| made.
The day has been a red-letter one
In Edgefield's history.

"John d, Rockefeller"
The reply. signed by all the men,
bers Of the commission. was as fol-
lows:
"New York, Oct. 26, 1909.
'Mr. John d. Rockefeller, New York
City.
Dear Sir: Your generous offer to
pay such sums as may be needed dur
ing the next five years up to a total Of
$1,000. 900. purely on scientific and
popular campaign for the eradicating
Of hookworm disease, has our hearth
est appreciation and we accept your
invitation to administer this trust with
keen appreciation Of the opportuni-
ty that you give us to do a great pub
lie good.
I'VE have today taken steps for or
ganizatisn and incorporated for prac-
tical work and have named this board
the Rockefeller Commission for the
Eradication OF Hookworm Disease"
'The hookworm parasites often so
lower the vitality Of those who are
affected as to retard their physical
and mental development. render them
more susceptible to other diseases,
make labor less efficient, and in the
sections where the malady Is most
prevalent greatly increase the death
rate from consumption, pneumonia,
TYPHOID fever and malaria. 1t has been
shown that the lower vitality of null
titudes long attributed to malaria and
climate. and seriously affecting econo-
mic development, is, In fact, largely
due In some districts to this parasite.
"The disease is by no means con-
fined to any one class; 1t takes its toll
of suffering and death from the high
ly intelligent and well-to-do as well as
from the less unfortunate. 1t is a con-
servative estimate that 100000 of
our people are infected by this para
site. This disease is more common
and more serious In children of school
age than in other persons.
Widespread and serious as the in
fection is. there is a most encouraging
outlook. The disease can be easily
recognized, readily and effectively
treated. and by siraple and ! proper
sanitary precautions successfully pre-
vented.
"The undertaking proposed by you
is therefore not only full Of promise
OF great beneft but is emientIy defi-
mite and practicable. q
1--WE desire, individually as we'll as
collectively. to thank you for this op-
portunity to be Of service to our fell
low men: and we enter upon our task
with deep sense Of the responsibility
laid upon u.s."

FLIES.

God bless the man who first invent
ed screens and God pity the man who
is too indolent or Indifferent to place
them between his family and the
spreaders of deadly disease. There is
absolutely no excuse for the nan or
woman whose place of habitation
swarms with flies and whines with the
voices of mosquitoes. They can be
kept out, and Csc spent in keeping
them is equivalent to keeping out
a doctor who would cost S25 or posi-
bly, to keeping out a much less well
come visitor.
While to screen a room is an easy
and cheap task to perform, there are
other means of keeping the insects
out. Cleanliness has much to do with
1t. Then there are the usual stick-pa-
per and lotions. A way to kill flies is
found in the following prescriptions:
It is important that the agency used
to kill flies that get into you home be
non-poisonous or not dangerous to hui
man beings. Especially is this true
in homes where here are children. A
z per cent solution Of Fbichromate OF
potassium made UP with water and
sweetened with sugar, and placed in
shallow dishes throughout the house,
will kill the flies and will not harm
the children should they get hold of it
This Is cheap and may be obtained at
any drug store. A 2 e cent solution
OF cobalt chloride may be used. 1t IS
non~-poisonous, but Is more expensive
and hard to obtain.
Spraying ponds OF water with kero-
sene will destroy the larvae Of mos
quities and used in the same way in
garbage boxes will destroy h larvae
Of flies.
The one task is to protect the health
and save the lives of those dependent
upon one for such protection. This
duty Is the more imperative seeing
that the means of defense are so cheap
and so easily applied.

New York, May 2O.-The closing

ORANGE TO MEET
GERMANTOWN
Another Fast Football Game
Promised Local Fans For
Saturday

The Germantown Club will be the
Orange teams opponents next Satur-
day afternoon at the Union street
grounds. This will be Germantown
first appearance here in football dur
ing the last five years. The visitors
have been entered in many athletic
meets held during the past summer,
and have always Won many points.
The Germantown club fosters every
branch of sport, and their football
team is considered one of the best
elevens in Philadelphia and vicinity.
While Orange is slightly heavier than
the visitors, the Pennsylvanians claim
they will more than make up Tor the
loss by their speed. Coach Johnson,
a former University of Pennsylvania
player, has charge Of the visitors
squad. and he expects that his eleven
viii give Orange one of the hardest
games Of the season.
An Of the Orange players came out
of the Fort DUPONT game last sat
urday in good physical shape. In this
game the Orange linemen played the
best game that they have played this
season, and the playing of Haggerty
Neese. Snitcher and Draper frequently
brought rounds Of applause from the
sidelines Ridgway was tower OF
strength to the locals and his work
was good. considering that his leg IL
yet in bad shape from the Maryland
A. c. game in Baltimore.
All the players except Captain Nc
Clure are now in the practices, anC
Mcclure Will. in all probability. be il
the lineup on Saturday for part of th'
game. Orange has been using the new
style football and the forward pas
considerably and this is in way re
sponsble for the large an enthusiastic
crowds that have been attending tn
games so far this season. Captain
Mcclure will have the squad out 70
practice tomorrow, and he will thei
pick the team that will line UP agains
Germantown on Saturday
