The general opinion regard
ing the ticket named is that the
Republicans have made a better
choice of men for the coming
election as a whole. than ever in
This county. The general opin-
ion seems to be that the Republi-
cans did not make a mistake in
selecting their county commits

selected TO make the race on

STAMPING OUT POPPY PLANT.
Growth of Opium Weed Almost Com

The growth of the deadly poppy,
from which is made the opium that
has paralyzed the development Of
the Chinese race, has been almost
completely stopped in two provinces
Of Manchuria, Hei Lung Chan and
kirin. The imperial government
early last year forbade the cultiva-
ton Of the plant and American Con-
sui Greene, at Harbin. says that
there now exist only a few poppy
fields. These are in out Of the way
places where formerly thousands of
acres were cultivated.

smoking dives and a great increase

is PRESENT SYSTEM DOOMED (?
The Press LoOked Upon as Correct
Means to Reach Voters.

Columbia, Sept. 6.-The county-to-
county campaign which marked the
end Of the battle between candi-
dates during the first primary may
be the last that South Carolina will
have During that campaign criti-
cfsm was SO strong against this old
time custom and people were brought
face to face with the utter Obsoletism
of the mode Of trying for office that
1T is probable the next State Conven-
ton will abolish the system.
Chairman Willie Jones, of the State
Executive Committee, has not said
anything for publication about the
county-to-county campaign. during
the progress of that campaign, for
obvious reasons. But it is known that
the State Chairman has become I'M
pressed with the fact that the cam
paign has outlived it's day
Mr.. Jones gives as reasons for the
abolition of the county-to-county
canvass the changed conditions of the
politics and OF the people and the
general apathy toward this method
OF securing the attention of the vot-
ers.
Principally among the reasons that
the county-to-county canvass Is DOOM
ed is the fact that the press reaches
many times more people to-day than
1t did when the candidates for office
first started going the rounds of the
State to ask for votes. Where. 20
years ago, only few copies of a
paper went out, now several hundred
go to the furthest limits of the rural
routes, out to the farms in every sec
tion OF South Carolina. County pa
pers have increased in number and
their circulation Is so general in the
several counties that the people may
be reached.
There is objection also to the en-
penses candidate must incur to get
a $1,000 Il year job. He must spend
at least $500 for the race, If he has
any opposition and hopes to win. Five
hundred dollars would represent the
average expense accounts of the can
didates in the primary just closed
10 cause candidate to spend this
money when he does not often wish
TO is conceded to be good argu-
ment against the county-to-county
canvass.
1T is also generally conceded that
the few people who attend the cam
paign meetings are not always repre-
sentative of the voting strength of
the counties, and most often there
are few representative men present.
Those who usually have time to at
tend the meetings do not represent
4 large percentage OF the voting in
lluence. If the newspapers did not
report the speeches only about an
average of less than 200 men in each
county would know what the candi-
dates talked about.
The remedy Is proposed to let each
candidate conduct his own campaign
IN his own way, as 1t is done in near
~ all the other States.
The candidates in the present race,
when asked their opinion, for the
most part thought the time was not
yet ripe. But sentiment is crystalliz-
ing In favor Of abolishing the county
to-county campaign.

FELL BEFORE, SENTENCED.
Negro May Die of Fright and Cheat
the GaIIOWS.

Greenville, Sept. 9.-It is possible
that the negro Bunk Sherard, who
was yesterday convicted of killing
Officer Waldrop, at Piedmont, may
escape the gallows. When the ne
gro was brought in court to be SEN
fenced he fell in dead faint and his
groans caused spect ltors to believe
that the negro was H.. the throes of
death. He was carried from the
court room to his cell in the county
jail and physician has been in al
most constant attendance on him to-
day. 1t seems the negro was lite
rally almost scared to death. The
man Is still unconscious and the
court is in a quandary as to when he
shall be sentenced.
