cussed and adopted; a very interest
ing meeting was held, nOtwithstand-
ing the small attendance of delegates
on account Of the pressure of farm
work.
After a bountiful dinner had been
served by the good ladies, who were
out in force, President Perritt deliv-
cred we'll prepared address from
the school house piazza to a fine
audience.
President James Reeves of the
Clarendon county union was a well
come guest of the Sumter County
union today.
Rev. w. II. Workman made a most
interesting talk before the county
union on alfalfa and It's Uses in a
Better System of Farming and Stock
Raising" His remarks were so well
received that by request the matter
will be discussed again at the next
meeting of the county union, which
will convene with Concord union on
the first Friday in August This talk
is a new feature that has been
adopted by Salem union and Mr..
Workman's remarks on alfalfa were
prepared for delivery to the local
union.
ecretary-Treasurer Hugh Wither-
spoon, j. K. McElveen and L. I. Par
rott were elected delegates to the
State meeting of the union in Colum-
bia July 27-29. President E. W.
Dabbs Of Sumter county union will be
a member Of the State union by rea-
son Of his being State vice president.
1t is very busy season. Too much
rain, crops grassy. corn needing to
be laid by, but soil too wet; oats and
wheat not yet in the barns; but in
spite of it all the farmers of this Sec
ton had a most delightful picnic and
the county meeting that started out
with no prospects of interest devel-
oped into one of it's best meetings.
And q. matter was started that will
The watchman and southron. [volume] (Sumter, S.C.) 1881-1930, 1910-06-29

he worth thousands of dollars annual
ly to the cotton growers.
j. II. Warren has been critically i'll
from heat prostratiOn on Tuesday
last. He is secretary-treasurer of
Salem union and but for the encour-
aging news Of his condition today the
meeting and picnic would have been
overshadowed by his illness.
G. w. Mcbride had two of his
ploughhands prostrated by the heat
yesterday. One of them was all
right in a shot while, but the other
had something like congestion and is
under the doctors care.
President Perritt was a very well
come guest at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. w. Dabbs while on his visit
to the Sumter county meeting.
John K. McElveen has several acres
OF fine wheat, planted January rs. 1t
is not yet ripe. but he has proved that
wheat can be sown late and yet make
a good yield.
Henry Johnson threshed SO bushels
Of wheat from two acres. . Yields Of
Is to 80 bushels are reported on all
sides. The grains are finer than the
seed sown, and it is safe to say this
section is Independent of the flour
market for the next six months. Some
farmers have full years supply. The
Trinity flour mill is prepared to make
the finest flour by the most improved
roller process.
Members of the Salem union are
determined to have a phone line to
Sumter by September.

The consciousness of doing right
should be full reward to a commu-
nifty. as well as an individual. but a
well established reputation for obed-
ience TO law and the enforcement Of
law has a practical value. The fact
that Sumter Is making an honest ef-
fort to enforce the law against the
nquor traffic Is known from one end
Of South Carolina to the other. and
that II Is endorsed by all right think

The contest for the governorship
will be decided. we believe. on the
personality and popularity OF the
candidates. Their platforms are
identical, save In the unimportant de-
tail OF the variation in verbiage to be
expected when FIVE men try TO reduce
10 writing the same ideas. They
all favor the same things and all op-
pose the liquor traffic. Three Of them
are state-widers and advocate the en-
actment OF a general prohibition law
oy the legislature. while two are local
optionists and believe in the demo-
cratic doctrine OF leaving 20 the peo-
pie OF the respective counties the
settlement CT the liquor question.
That Is the only shade OF difference
to be detected In their platforms.
But granting that there Is a differ
snce sufficient TO be taken into ac-
count. the discussion OF the point OF
difference is purely academic and
when all Is said we come straight back
TO the county in the end. for as the
counties vote for members Of the
legislature so will the liquor issue he
determined. III We elect a Statewide
Governor and a local option Legisla-
ture no prohibition law will be
enacted and IL local option
governor should be the choice OF the
people and a Statewide legislature. a
prohibition law will be enacted and
the local option governor will sign 1t.
As we view the solution there Is no
use TO fret and fume over the views
on liquor entertained by the guber-
national candidates. 1t is the leglsla-
ture that should concern us. The
governor. whoever he may be. will
do that which ne finds the people
demand. ana II he finds that his views
do not accord with the wishes OF the
majority OF the people. as reflected
by the legislature. he will quickly fall
into line Does anyone imagine that
Mr. Featherstone would veto local
option bin. that had been enacted by
rhe legislature. or that Mcleod would
veto Statewide prohibition bill un-
der similar circumstances? We do
not. Therefore. We repeat that the
contest for the gOvcrnorshlp Is mar
rowcd down O. the personality of the
candidates. The people. as individu-
ais. will vote for the man whom they
believe best fitted % nll the ofnc
or the man whom they know and lik,
best. That Is all there Is TO il, and
there ls mo- occasion 60 grow excited
over the liquor issue which Is beinp
maguincd ani made much Of foi
campaign purposes. Just vote rol
the mlu you believe 10 be- the b,s
for governor. elect tho best men you
can get % the legislature. and the ol.
