We do not think there is very much
use in anybody sweating over the
question as to whether or not man
who voted in the primaries is bound
to support the Democratic candidates
for presidential electors. Very, very
few people who voted in the primaries
are going to do otherwise. But If the
party leaders are going to try to bind
primary voters to support party pres
idential electors We suggest that they
provide a preferential primary in
which these voters may start in on the
ground floor.

The ATTENDANCE of York county peo-
pie on the state fair Is about as large
as usual.
Cotton receipts throughout the coun-
ty generally have been light up to
date this year when compared with
the same date last year, and there are
those who. think that the aggregate
production of the county will be off
something like ten thousand bales. -
Voters in the general election next
Tuesday are reminded that they must
go to the polls with a registration GER
tificate issued In 1908 or later, and re-
ceipts showing all past due state and
county taxes paid. The tax receipts of
1911 will meet this last requirement.

Work for Grown Folks.

If there are any people in this part
of the country who have an idea that
the Boys Corn and Pig. clubs, and the
Girls Canning clubs have been insti-
tuted mainly for the purpose Of enter
tanning the young folks, it will be we'll
for all concerned If those people will
abandon such an idea
The purpose Of the Corn and Pig
clubs is to encourage the study OF
corn production and pig raising. The
things to be learned are how to pro-
duce the best corn most economically
and how to raise pigs the cheapest
The element of rivalry in the compe-
tion stimulates interest; but the bene-
fits derived from practical observation
and experience are worth a great deal
more than any prize that is likely to be
secured
The Canning club idea attacks one
Of the most important economic prop
ositions that confronts this country
and it would be difficult to conceive OF
more practical or effective way OF
attacking that proposition, If the peo-
pie will only give their hearty cooper
alton.
That there are hundreds of intelli-
gent, industrious women in all parts OF
the county who know how to can all
kinds Of fruits and vegetables, make
jellies and preserves and do many
things along this line, no one is going
to deny; but it is also fact that there
are other hundreds who have very lit
tie knowledge Of this art, and for va
rious reasons not difficult to enumer-
ate the art is on the decline rather
than the increase.
One of the reasons for the decline OF
the art of canning is the fact that the
commercial goods have become so COM
mon, and apparently so cheap, that
people have begun to fall out of the
way of putting up such goods them
selves. They find it more convenient to
run to the store and buy as needed
and often without thinking Of the cost
There are in York county hundreds of
homes where fruits and vegetables are
produced in such bounteous plenty
that the very waste, if taken care of
would be sufficient to supply those and
other homes during the following win
ter, and in these same homes there is
seldom a pretense at canning or pre-
serving.
The purpose of the Canning club Is
to show girls all about the business. To
show them how to produce vegetables
and how to take care Of them after
they are produced. The managers OF
the clubs have full information as to
how to procure cans, labels and other
materials to the best advantage and
they can also give information that will
be Of value in the marketing Of sur
plus products. Underlying the whole
plan are means not only of saving mon
ey for the home; but Of actually MAX
ing money.
Where York county brings in from
the north and elsewhere hundreds OF
thousands of dollars worth Of canned
goods every year, she should produce
most of these goods herself and have
as much more to send out elsewhere.
The Canning club has this very thing
in ultimate prospect, and II the people
will only show proper interest, they
can accomplish an economic revolution
in very short time There is nothing
lacking to bring this about except to
get the people to make up their minds
and get down to work.

= Hendrix Rector of Greenville, on
yesterday gave out the following state
ment In reply to criticism that had
been made Of him in connection with
his action in connection with the ar
rest Of Gilreath and others: "In JUS
tice to myself and to the people Of
made me the nominee Of the Demo-
cratic party for sheriff of Greenville
county, in the recent Democratic pri-
mary, I desire to make public state
ment Of my connection with the recent
prosecutions which have caused 80
much talk. In the first place did not
prosecute the actions, nor attempt to
have warrants issued until I had been
ordered to do so by the governor Of
South Carolina, upon information
which ! was informed he had In his
possession. The sheriff and deputy
sheriff could not be found, In fact
Sheriff Poole was not in the city, so 1t
became my duty to serve the warrants.
I was under the impression that none
of the accused persons would or could
be allowed to give bail. Consequently,
when arrested, I at once took them
to Jail, as authorized by law, doing no
more than my full duty. Magistrate
Stradley now admits that as to two of
the accused he did err In granting
them bail. they being officers of the
law at the time they were alleged to
have helped Vaughn to escape, and
their punishment, In the event Of con-
viction being the same as that meted
out to Vaughn. am conscious Of the
fact that am criticised for my actions
but the criticisms, In the main. are
coming from my personal and politi-
cal enemies, and from the Republican
element, as evidenced by the meeting
last night. Certain statements have
been made in the papers in regard to
my trip to Columbia and as to who
accompanied me on the trip. went
by myself and for the sole purpose Of
trying to see certain persons, includ-
ing the governor, about the prosecu-
ton Of Gilreath and others. 1t has
been stated that the treatment ac-
corded Mr.. Gilreath at the county jail
was brutal and rough. This I deny,
same treatment. Whether am the
next sheriff or not, I have done no
more than my duty, and have not at
tempted to exercise any personal or
political animosity."

Shall Take Their Medieine.-While
one may not lack sympathy with the
Indignation that citizens Of Greenville
feel on account of recent occurrences,
the proposal to run an independent
candidate for sheriff Is not to be ap-
proved. Granting, for the arguments
sake, that the conduct Of the nominee
Of the primary foreshadows unsatisfac-
tory administration Of the office Of
sheriff, he has done nothing that re-
leases Democrats who voted In the pri-
mary from the pledge that they took.
No one may safely consider the pri-
mary pledge lightly. Frequently cam
didates are nominated who, to one
man or another, seem utterly impos-
sible when measured by standards of
morality and integrity, but the voter
who does not expect to accept the re-
suit Of the primary should not enter II.
No voter Is compelled to enter 1t.
II Greenville has nominated. the
wrong man for sheriff, 80 much the
worse for Greenville, but bad case is
not to be remedied by q greater
wrong.-Columbia State.
