NO OPPOSITION
Secures Enough Votes to Eiect-sen-
tar Scott After ~5eekeisy's Del
esates This Time.

Washington, June lot Is all over
but the shouting The primaries held
yesterday in Barbour. Pendleton and
Randolph counties have made sure the
nomination OF Congressman Sturgiss
TO succeed himself and have made
sure enough delegates to reelect Sen.
ator Scott.
From this time On both these rep
resentatlves in Congress win have
easy sailing The overwhelming en-
|dorsement of Mr.. Sturgiss in Berkeley
on last Saturday started the Forman
toboggan and when the state senator's
home county was heard from that
gentleman decided that It was about
time TO get out OF the rae He has
communicated with his friends in the
several counties and told them that he
has withdrawn from the race and that
they need not work for him any long
.er. This will give the nomination 10
Mr.. Sturgiss without opposition and
the convention in Keyser OF July 6
will be a ratification meeting.
AAt uihCAPE1I NhAoA atAANA& Vi 2NA
ator Scott in Berkeley county was s.
surprise to the politicians here. The
Senator has never yet gotten the dele
gates from that county. but It Is be-
lieved that this time Scott delegates
will be elected. Berkeley county poll
|~ticians who have been In Washington
the past few days seem to be agreed
that Cd Berkeley will come up hand
|somely this fall.
A movement is being made to line
up the forces in the eastern end Of
the Second district and a concerted eff
fort, 1t Is believed will accomplish
much. The gospel of Scott and Stur-
giss will be spread all over the East
ern Panhandle and when the Demo
Gratis come up In November to wrest
the plums from the Republicans they
will be surprised to find that there has
been a cleaner picking than ever be-
fore.
Congressman Sturgiss and his sup
porters will let time pass until they
get their '"get-together" plans NOV
ing and it is expected that what little
opposition has so far shown itself
! against the Congressman will be elm
mated before election day. ,~sp

those who gathered in the halls last

The P~Iuneers."

In every line OF business conducted in
this wide awake country there pops up
every now and then a daring. man who
performs seemingly impossible acnleVe'
ments. Men like Prick and Schwabi in the
manufacture Of steel; Hartman in corral
ing various railroads; Letter in wheat
Morgan in financing great corporations; al
are known as plungers; this because wher
either Of them thinks an enterprise worthy
Of attention he puts all his energy and
fabulous amount Of capital into it at once,
not waiting for developments but pushing
the venture to success from the start.
In the show world Ernest Haag is known
as the most daring plunger, being sole
owero Of the mighty Haag shows. When
this far famed amusement perveyor began
to bid for pubic favor, he launched a mod
est affair, yet he put into it every dollar ne
possessed, believing the public would pat
ronise the show which was most worthy.
Instead of sending forth a poorly equip
ped show, he organized the greatest tent
boat show ever afloat. His list Of perfor-
mers was small, being a first-class all
round performer himself, he was princi-
pally, the whole show, but ever trying to
please the public and give them their
moneys worth d. more; the result was
his first venture was an overwhelming sue
cess. After a few seasons on boat he Or

be the biggest and best overland show Of
those days; then came the railroad show
and once more Plunger Haag startled the
the world with his magnitude and daring
to the last degree. Every year he has
been raising the standard of his attractions
until today they heralded a. the best
equipped most complete and pleasing upon
the road.
Many instances OF his lavish eXpendi-
lures are to be found in the display of his
rare and curious species of animal life in
his menageries. The countless number
OF handsome hol ses and cute little ponies
the priceless herds of elephants, droves OF
camels and handsome trains OF double
Length sixty-foot sars, his massive cages
dens, chafiots and tableaux cars, together
with the great array of high priced talent
upon his pay rolls. Rival managers have
declared that he will go broke, because of
the prodigious amount interested, but the
mighty Haag shows have made q vast
amount of money for Ernest Haag who
had the nerve to provide the public SO
mamouth and invaluable an amusement

Mrs. Emma Shillito Link, wife Of Ell
Link departed this life Sept. 9Th after q
very briefillness, being sick only five days.
She leaves a husband and two SONS and one
sister, Mrs. Amanda Link to mourn her
She was a kind neighbor and friend q
thoughtful. considerable, and faithful wife,
and q consistent and useful member OF the
Bethia Presbyterian Church. She was
ever ready to lend a helping hand to any.
one in distress on sickness or In trouble OF
any kind.
She was a woman of sound Judgment
and christian spirit and the approach OF
death did not shake her faith or disturb
her peace Of mind she was conscious until
the very last moment.
She said she was ready and willing to
die, which Is q great consolation to her
family and many friends. She was held in
high esteem by the people among whom
she lived, which was strongly attested by
the great crowd that attended the funeral
service which which was preached by her
pastor Rev. j. B. Hillhouse at Upper Long
Cane and the interment was in the ceme-
terry near by. Blessed are the dead which
die in the Lord.

BLAZING The WAY.
Capt. Shaw's Suggestions to Legislators,

L~owndesville, S. C., Sept. %. 1910.
Editor Press and Banner:
" The political battle is over and the
smoke has cleared away, and we have
elected a delegation that we can expect
something from.-and I think that their
first act should be an endeavor to make q
law to throw more restriction aroand our
primary elections. The day has fully
come when it is badly needed. When boys
from the Q of sixteen to twenty years
old. and men from other States become the
balance Of powerlin our primary elections
it is timefor something to be done, so that
every man who is a candidate can have q
fair ballot and q fair count, and whoever
gets the majority of legal votes, cast, then
let them have the nomination, and every
body will be satisfied. But as long as boys
under age and. men from other States are
allowed to vote in u primary elections,
there will always be dissatisfaction. A
fair thing is a fair thing, and let's have
equal rights to all and special privileges TO
none in our primary elections.
elected legislators go in session that they
will make such laws as will be for the ben
eft OF the whole people, and that they
will make some much-needed changes In
some Of our laws. Amend the jury law
Amend the pension law. Amend the fer
tilizer law. Some change Is needed In the
county government law. Change the dog
tax approximation to Clemson College and
let that 60 to the public schools of the
county so that those who pay the tax can
get the benefit Of it. 1t will be well, too,
to look into the Della Howe Estate and
|seeif some of the surplus money could be
used to accommodate more children at the
ILethe School. There is an income from
the Lethe farm of something like twenty
bales of cotton per year, besides a surplus
of about twenty thousand dollars that is
out on interest. 1t will be well II possible
to use some Of that surplus money to edu'
cate more poor children at that institu'
ltion.
We are not debating to the Legislature
but Just blazing q few trees along. for g
path. VIC. SHAW.
