Meet at peaCe'S Store IN
Whitley Last Week
Black Booked Down From His
Own Proposition
EVERYONE PRESENT
FOR SAMPSON
Special to the Advocate.

Speclai TO the Advocate.
One of the most interesting
debates that has been heard in
this meek of the woods" in a
long time was pulled off" here
last week between Judge Samp-
son and Judge Black. the two
candidates for Circuit Judge in
this District.
1t had been reported here that
Black was trying to overtake
Sampson in order to have =
chance to do him up" in debate.
SO when Judge Sampson arrived
at the Peace store where he was
billed to speak at 10 100 a. m, he
learned that w. K. Black was
billed to speak at 2 :00.p. M, so
he postponed his speaking until
that hour in order TO have q joint
speaking.
Black was late in arriving and
Sampson had begun before he
arrived, but when he came he
was cordially invited by Judge
Sampson to come in the house
and join in the discussion.
After Sampson had spoken
Black came forward and talked
for some time and said he stood
upon his record and accused
Sampson of all kinds Of unfair
tactics and accused him of dis
honesty in his dealings. Black
said the Knox county people
were lining up solidly for him
that they knew Judge Jampson
and would not vote for man of
his bad character.
When Sampson rose to reply,
the crowd was on the tiptoe Of
expectation. What would he
say to an opponent who had so
far forgotten the proprieties Of
decent debate and the dignity
of the high office he sought, as to
openly and publicly charge that
his opponent was a jackal and q
scoundrel.
Judge Sampson rose to the
dignity of the occasion. No per-
sonal abuse fell from his lips He
conducted himself like a gsntle-
man. but handled his opponent
without gloves.
To the charges that he was a
bad and immoral man, Judge
Sampson replied that he was not
here to preach his own self right
eousness; that true nodesty and
virtue never faunteth nor boast
eth itself; that it is content to
be rewarded by its own sense Of
being in the right aud that i,
was willing to wait the impartial
Judgment of those who had wit
messed its daily walks aud daily
talks the observers of its life.
y Judge Sampson said he wa
but human with the ordinar,
frailties AND weaknesses commul
to the mass of mankind al,
that he was now about to put
proposition to Judge Black whicI
would sound the depths of hi
own character and test the es
teen in which they both are hel
by those who know them best
their neighbors at home. "An

which l hardly deem is proper IT,

At this point Judge Sampson

so and Judge Sampson began t.
draw up the agreement in the
presence of Black and the whole
crowd who knew what the agree
ment was. Black got up and
left the house, in the midst 81

No SEPARATION OF RACES AT
WASHINGTON.

Although several times there have
been unpleasant indications of a very
antagonistic feeling between whites
and blacks in Washington, due to the
tendency of the latter to become up
pish,' and to force themselves Of
fensiyely upon the former, the com.
missioners in charge of the affairs OF
the capital district insist that there is
no need for any division of the races
cn TIC street cars,
Jim Crow cars in the district are
not received with favor by the commits.
sioners. The era of separate accom-.
modations for the white and black
races in Washington, in their opin-
ion, has not arrived In fact, the,
say they know of no demand or senti-
ment in the district for such legisla-
tiCn.
This is stated in the brief letter for
warded to congress recommending adj
verse action on the bill introduced by
Representative Clark, of Florida, tc
require the street railways companies
to provide separate cars or compart-
ments for white and colored passen-
gers. No hearings We're held on this
hlli. The commissioners simply say
that they do not believe any such leg
islation desirable.

FORM BOYS CORN CLUBS IN
SUMTER.

If the farmer boys of Sumter county
have not yet organized one or more
Boys Corn Clubs" they should do so
at once and begin their plans to show
that the boys of this vicinity are not
i'll the least behind the boys of other
Southern neighborhoods in progress
siyeness and the disposition to seize
upon new ideas.
Outside of the prize of the trip to
Washington, offered by Congressman
Hughes, there will be prizes offered
at the Sumter County Fair that will
be strong inducement for the mem
bers of such clubs to exert themselves
to show what their intelligence and
labor when applied to the fruitful soils
of Sumter county will do in the shape
of corn crop.
These corn clubs are now to be found
all over the South and are productive
in results that are, to put it mildly,
astonishing. The greatest record for
yield to the acre was made the
past year by boy over in South Caro-
lima, and in Georgia there were some
phenomenal developments. The same
will be true this year and the boys Of
Sumter county should be among the
leaders when the seasons results arc
canvassed and chronicled.
Speaking of these organizations of
boys who are intent on equipping
themselves to become the future agri,
cultural leaders of the South, DR..
Knapp, of the Department of Agricul-
ture, at Washington, who is directly il
charge of the farm demonstration
work, says:
believing in the tremendous and
wonderful resource of the South. the
Southern Commercial Congress is =ac-
lively cooperating with the United
States Department of Agriculture in
disseminating correct information, and
is watching very carefully the publica-
ton of bulletins which may be of value
to the Southern farmer, so that they
may be brought to his attention i'm
mediately upon publication The De-
partment has recently issued two val
liable bulletins, No Ais, Corn and
Corn Raising" and No. 416, "Seed
Corn which may be had upon appli-
cation to our Washington office"
DR.. Owens is now making trip
through the Southern states, visiting

ernor Glasscock, of West Virginia, and

THE WAY TO WIN SUCCESS IN
LIFE.

IA comparatively few years ago boy
left high school in order to make a liy-
ing. He found job in a shop at $3.50
a week and took it, much to the dis
gust of some of his associates, who at
present are earning SIS and $40 a week
la clerks and bookkeepers Young
Farrell didn't particularly like the job,
so he concluded to get a better one by
making himself so valuable that he
would be promoted In the meantime
he saved some of his salary Most of
his friends were spending little more
than they earned and were complain
ing OF too much work and too little
cash while they smoked cigarettes.
Young Farrell continued to be dis
satisfied and kept on working so hard
that he practically compelled his en-
ployers to give him better positions.
The other day he was elected presi-
dent of the largest corporation in the
World-United States Steel-at a sala-
ry of 100000 a year And he is
worth every cent of it, His predeces-
sors In office were men who began at
$3.50 per day. The man who succeeds
Farrell will not be the son of million
aire, but one who has made good by
hard work and intelligence. We men
ton these facts because there is such
an impression abroad that the young
man has no chance now. There are
many who think that before corpora
tons arose to power the young man
had a much better opportunity.
1t only needs to be pointed out that
in the days Of individual manufacture
ing success depended upon exceptional
ability or some patent and that the
man at the head of such an institu-
ton almost always put his sons or
sons-in-law into the business, so that
there was no chance for the hardWork-
ing young fellow outside the family
Nowadays the men who are going 10
be the future rulers of the great cor
porations of all kinds are poor young
boys. You cannot inherit executive
ability and experience. The latter
comes by years of patient toll such as
few rich mems sons will endure. The
boys of today can become the mag
mates Of the future if they are earnest
intelligent and have the ability.

But home is built with loving deeds

A house, though but a humble cot,

A home of priceless beauty, rich in
Loves eternal gold,
The men of earth build hOuses-halls

Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
"The intelligent efforts of a united
people"
That is what Americas needs, just as
much as Columbus, and that is what
Americas must have.
There is no small city in the entire
South that has a better backing or
greater opportunities than Americas.
There is not one that is centered in
a richer country. in a country that IS
developing more rapidly, or that holds
out a greater promise of future eX-
pansion in every line of agricultural
wealth.
Sumter county may Justly be de-
scribed as superb. No other word
really describes what it has to offer.
Here the finest class of farmers will
come, here the greatest crops of the
future will be made, here will be found
prosperity in abundance.
And all that is needed to make Amer
icus a complete sharer i'll this pros
nari+vy ond ,,pooro0C ;c t'+J,, ,,,,;+o1 80, I
intelligent effort of it's people"
That We must have if we are to
make the advance our natural oppor-
tunities justify us in expecting.
There is every evidence that we are
going to have it. The people of Amer
icus are drawing closer and closer to-
gether. OF that there is no doubt.
Past divisions give promise of passing
away and in their place will undoubt-
eddy be that spirit of harmony, that
spirit of union, that will make the
combined forces of the people an ir-
resistible impulse.
Columbus is seeking to encourage
and stimulate the same spirit Ameri-
Gus must also possess it. Without it
the richest opportunities must fall
dead to the ground. With it nothing
can stay the onward march of the city
Every citizen must help to bring this
about. Lay aside your personal feel
ings, lay aside the things that tend to
keep you from working in unison with
your fellow citizens. Bend all your
energies in common with them toward
the making of a greater city.
Then Americas will be a greater. a
more prosperous city, and the next ten
years will see growth that will sur
pass anything the city ever knew in
the boom days when railroad con-
struction was forcing it to the front.
