PLANS OF THE BULL MOOSE.
B. s. Dunn Explains Why There Was
No State Ticket,

Just why the Progressive party is not
putting state ticket in the field In the
November national election seems to
be question which Is troubling a good
many Bull Moose converts. The fol-
lowing. letter which B. Sherwood Dunn,
provisional national committeeman of
the party In South Carolina, written to
a citizen Of Cowpens answers the ques-
tion.
The letter reads:
II beg to thank you for your favor
OF the 9TH inst, and for the interest
that you show in the launching Of the
Progressive party in this state. We had
very successful organization meet
ing with forty earnest, well-known
men present, each and every one a
working unit and not one Of them
present from motives Of curiosity or
idle interest. To my idea such a meet
Ing has far greater value than an at
tendance Of 400 men with none Of them
particularly In earnest. We receive
daily from every quarter Of the state
assurances Of adhesion and we are
glad to get this assurance from you.
I'VE did not place in the field a COM
plete state ticket for two reasons:
First, because in starting this new
Progressive movement We are deter

public as an example Of high ideals,
high purposes, and with the first chief
purpose that the people shall rule; to
do this we felt that 1t was primarily
necessary that the party should be
regular" in its methods Of procedure
and this would necessitate that we
should follow the primary law in this
state and hold a primary for the nomi-
nation Of candidates. This we did not
have the time to do, and any other
course would have been irregular and
we could properly have been charged
with being political pirates.
Second, the Democratic primary
has already been held and you and I
and almost every other white voter in
the state bound himself up by oath to
support the nominees Of that primary
and we could not properly, honestly or
other ticket than that Of the regular
Democratic party in this state, and in
putting out an Independent ticket e
would be offering bait to seduce the
voter from his proper allegiance and
legal duty and that Is not the class Of
voters with which we are seeking to
build up this new movement
"The electors for president and vice
president are nominated by the con-
vention and are not nominated by the
primary, and as the primary oath
pledges the voter only to support the
nominees Of the primary it follows
that every voter in the state is at lib
erty to vote for the electoral ticket of
his choice, as dictated by his consci-
ence, and we therefore decided to place
only an electoral ticket in the field for
this election and wait until the next
regular state election to try out our
strength pitted against the old Demo-
cratic political machine."-Columbia

SOUTH CAROLINA NEWS

Greenwood, October s: Will ci-
garettes be put under the ban abso-
lutely In Greenwood? II petition
which has been in circulation since
Saturday Is acted upon favorably by the
city council this question will be ans
wered in the affirmative. Since the
publication Of councils decision to
pass as q city ordinance the state law
making 1t misdemeanor to sell ci-
garettes or cigarette material to min
ors, a movement has been started to
put an end once and for all to the
sale Of this form Of tobacco to any
ion goes little further than the state
law and asks the council to pass a
law prohibiting the sale or the giving
away Of cigarettes or cigarette ma
terial in the city Of Greenwood. A
large number Of the leading citizens
Of the town have signed the petition,
and a number Of merchants, who keep
cigarettes for sale, have also signifled
their approval Of the movement by
indorsing 1t. The opinion has been
expressed by some that such law
would be unconstitutional, but 1t Is
pointed out by the anti-cigarette peo-
pie that other towns and cities now
have such an ordinance on their
out any trouble. Honea Path is said
to be one Of the places where 1t Is
against the law to purchase or give
away q cigarette. The petition now
In circulation here will doubtless con-
tain several hundred names when II
is presented to the city council at the
November meeting.
Columbia October 8: In accord
ance with law, the state superinten-
dent Of education has prepared and
published the 1919 edition Of the school
laws. The pamphlet contains 100
pages; 1t embraces Title 8, Code Of
Laws 1912 on public instruction, the
acts Of 1912 relating to education, the
rules and regulations Of the state board
Of education and the laws governing
state colleges. The last edition Of the
school law was printed in 1909. This
edition was exhausted several months
ago, but the new edition could not be
published until the legislature acted
on the 1912 Code ana until this Code
sioners and the Code committee Of the
general assembly. A supply Of the
pamphlets have been shipped to every
county superintendent Of education for
distribution to trustees, teachers, pa
irons and taxpayers. All desiring cop
les Of the pamphlet should apply to the
county superintendent Of education.
Some noteworthy improvements can
be found in the school law. The high
school act of 1907, the bond act Of 1907,
the term extension act Of 1910, ampli-
flying the similar act Of 1909; the
county and state school building laws;
the rural graded school act Of 1912;
the various acts providing four-year
s,ta 70 ", oil
but twelve counties, and the act Of
1912 making the county superinten-
dents tenure embrace the scholastic
rather than the fiscal year. Since, how
ever, the fiscal year in effect now runs
from July to June 80, because Of the
tax extension granted by the legisla-
ture, this Improvement in the school
law renders school bookkeeping much
more satisfactory than heretofore.

THE CANNING INDUSTRY.

Miss Edith Parrott, state organizer
of the Girls Canning and Poultry move
ment, was in Yorkville Wednesday
seeing some of the business men of the
town in the interest of her work, which
looks to the organization of Canning
and Poultry clubs in the various
schools throughout the state.
Mention was made some time ago of
the visit of Miss Garrison, who has
particular oversight of the work in
York county. From Miss PARROT, how
ever, it was learned, that while Miss
Garrison is doing what she can to pro-
mote the undertaking, it Is necessary to
secure more general interest in order
to conserve the establishment of the
work on a firmer foundation.
From what Miss Parrott said, the
general purpose of her propaganda Is
to teach girls a practical knowledge of
the canning industry along scientific
lines to the end that our surplus pro-
duction Of fruits and vegetables may
be conserved for domestic purposes,
and also be made available as an in
come yielding commercial commodity.
The work also has in view the idea of
developing interest in and spreading
raising. But these are only leading
features. AS the work progresses, it is
expected that it will extend to every de-
tail of domestic economy and spread to
all the homes Of all the people the ap-
proved methods Of house keeping that
are being developed and taught in
Winthrop college and in other similar
institutions.
In brief it is a matter of disseminat-
ing valuable knowledge that will show
people better methods Of doing things;
that will help every home to realize
all the benefits and conveniences that
come from knowledge and skill in any
home. The people who are promoting
the movement believe that this county
like all other counties in this state and
in other states, is suffering great loss
through lack of knowledge as to how
to do many very simple things to the
best advantage, and they are convinc-
ed that with expert assistance this sit
uation can be very much improved.
The work Is new in this section. 1t
is not very old work anywhere; but
enough has been accomplished along
this line to give very considerable
encouragement as to what can be ac-
complished The main difficulties in
the way are those that always appear
at the beginning-the difficulty Of ex-
planning to the people exactly what Is
sought to be accomplished and how 1t
is to be accomplished, and the Difficult
ty of raising the means.
The general plan Is to put in each
county an expert from Winthrop who
understands the things she
proposes to teach. This expert will
proceed to organize the most apt and
girls at the schools or In the
different neighborhoods into clubs, and

If Governor Blease had sent troops
to the Horse Creek Valley, Sunday, as
he was requested to do, the probable
ity is that there would be trouble and
lots of it by now. He managed better
than that, however. He told the sher-
iff to swear out warrants against law
breakers and arrest them, advised the
railroad people to cease the operation
of their cars until normal conditions
were restored and gave everybody to
understand that destruction of prop
erty would not be tolerated. Because
there is usually feeling and lack Of
reason on both sides, labor troubles
like this are always difficult to ham
die, and it is necessary to proceed
with great caution. There is no ques-
tion of the fact that Governor Brown
made a great mistake in sending
troops to Augusta. The shooting up
of disinterested citizens is sufficient
evidence of that, and If troops had
been sent to the Horse Creek Valley,
IL is quite poSSluIe lildl liie ieSuit
would have been even more disastrous
than at Augusta. The trouble has not
been fully settled yet, and it may
break out again at any moment; but
if the governor continues to handle
the situation as he has handled it up
to this time we are inclined to think
that there will be left but little ground
for just criticism. In the meantime,
however, let it not be forgotten that
crises of this particular kind are cal
culated to try the capacity of any gov
ernor to the limit. Many a brilliant
chief executive has had promising
career blasted in the handling of just
such a situation, and more often than

No, We are not predicting what the
voters Of York county are going to do
about the court house bond question.
We never attempt to predict what the
voters of York county are going to do
about anything. In this case we only
know what We would like to see them
do-authorize the bond issue by prac-
tically unanimous vote. And we hope
that when that vote is analyzed, it will
not show any signs Of sectionalism.

Bennettsville, October 8: Tom {

- Bennettsville, October 8: Tom c.
Hamer seems to be nominated for
clerk Of court for Marlboro county.
The returns so far received give Ham,
er 1856 and McLaurin 1,152. This is
the fourth primary for this office,
Hamer having received a majority of
three in the second and two in the third,
according to the face Of the returns,
but recounts by the executive COM
mittee showed ties in each instance.
The ballots cast in today's primary
are more than either the second or
third. Both candidates were recog-
niZed as competent, clever gentlemen,
and the remarkable races show the
loyalty of friends and the popularity
of both contestants.

You are charged with the very i'm

and J. w. Bankhead were arrested by
you, or members Of the police force, on
the first Of September, 1911, for violat-
Ing city ordinances against maintain

the illegal sale Of whisky, and paid
money into the city court for such vio-
lations Of the city ordinances and are

ly, under the injunction issued by
Judge Gage against the working

There Is no need for comment on
these matters. These are In my mind
sufficient reasons for my asking for
your resignation as chief Of the police
force. If you do not see fit to hand
your resignation to Mr.. ]: A. Hafner
Immediately, you may consider yourself
discharged from the force. I direct
that you turn over all property and
records Of the city Of Chester to Mr.. II.
w. Grant and have him receipt you for
same"
Rather than resign under the circum-
stances Mr.. Sanders exchanged his
uniform for citizens clothes and de-
livered up such city property as he had
in his possession as requested.
The Lantern comments on the de-
velopment in a way that fails to give
the reader a great deal Of inside infor-
nation. It Is satisfied that Mayor
Wise is doing exactly what he thinks
right and it pays a high tribute to Mr..
Sanders as the best police officer 1t has
ever known.
Peace Restored.
The. Chester Reporter of yesterday
had the following, the sum and sub
stance Of which Is that the difference
between Mayor Wise and Chief San
ders has been adjusted:
Peace and quiet reign again in Ches-
ter's official family, the breach between
Mayor Wise and Chief Of Police ]. L.
Sanders, eliminating yesterday morn
ing in a letter from the mayor to the
chief asking the latter to send in his
resignation or else consider himself
dismissed from the force, having been
happily healed at gathering OF the
members Of the city council yesterday
afternoon. The members met in exc
cutive session, with the understanding
that no account Of the proceedings,
which were regarded as not Of an Of
fetal nature, but purely private. was
to be given out, and 1t Is difficult for
that reason to state just what hap
pened at the meeting. However. 1t
may be stated that Mr.. Sanders Is
again in charge Of the police force,
and. harmony has been restored be-
tween the head of the police force and
the city's chief executive.
