PALMETTO BULL MOOSE
MEETING IN COLUMBI3 FRIDAY
TO LAUNCH THIRD PARTY.
full Moosers" Looking to South
Carolina as Land Of Promise on
Strenth Of Factionalism.

The Bull Moose" will meet in Co.
Iumbia on Friday, OCTOBER 4, to or
ganize the Progressive party in South
Carolina, name the electoral ticket,
which will be placed In the field and
to consider the adyisaDility OF nom
mating a full State ticket to contest
with the Democratic nominees In the
genera. election in November, and to
do such other things as are necessary
to launch full grown Bull Moose"
movement for the Palmetto State.
B. Sherwood Dunn, Of Aiken, is
acting in the capacity Of CAN cher"
for the new party, and IS said % be
the national committeeman from this
State. He will preside over the ini-
tial gathering here on October 4, anu
see the Roosevelt party started on It's
efforts to capture the electoral votes
O. South Carolina. Mr.. Dunn is a
warm personal friend Of 'T. R." and
wont to New York to have a CONFER
ence with National Bull Moose"
Chairman Joseph NJ. Dixon and the
other dignataries OF the third party
before putting the final touches to his
plans.
It Is rumored here IN Columbia
that the "Buli Moosers" are looking
towards South Carolina as land OF
great promise, and tnat they are
banking strong on the factionalism
which reigns within the Democratic
ranks. One rumor has it that the
new party hopes that the State COM
mittee will throw out Blease and
they would then seek alliance with
him, but indications being that
Blease il going to be declared the
nominee next Tuesday the third par
ty will probably turn to dissatisfied
Democrats with the purpose In view
OF recruiting strength from their
ranks and placing a full State and
electoral ticket in the field.
It is accepted here that the Pro-
gessive party will certainly name an
electoral, ticket and go before the
people and ask them to vote for Col.
Roosevelt for President. This per-
sonnel Of this ticket and also the pos
sibility OF the Bull Moosers" max
ing overtures for alliance with some
one Of the factions in the Democratic
party, make the meeting called for
October 4 full Of interest.
It is said there that the personneI
of the third party will be white men,
and most of them hitherto unidenti-
fled with politics in the State. The
Jerome Hotel will be the headquar-
te1. for the meeting Of the Progress
siyes on October 4.

FARM IMPROVEMENT WORK.
Southern Organizes a Department to
Aid Farmers.

The department OF farm improve
ment work recently organized by the
lines Of the Southern Railway sys-
ten. will have two field agents IN
South Carolina, Mr.. A. H. Chapman
at Greenville and Mr.. J. H. Hen
dricks at Columbia. The WORK IN
South Carolina will INCLUDE the Blue
Ridge Railway, and farmers on 1t
as well as along the various lines OF
the Southern Railway will have the
services OF this department at their
disposal without charge OF any ma
ture.
III addition to the work to be done
by the field agents located at Green
Vile and Columbia, both Carolina
farmers will receive their share OF at
tention from Mr.. r. E. Grabel, assls-
tan. manager, with headquarters at
Charlotte, N c., and Mr.. T. o. Plum
kett, manager, with headquarters at
Atlanta, Ga.
In organizing this department the
Southern Railway is endeavoring to
aid farmers to increase their yields
per acre to follow the most approved
and profitable methods Of culture
ant for this work has employed a
corps Of agricultural experts VINO
have had both scientific training anc
practical experience.
President Finley feels that the IN
terests Of the Southern Railway and
these OF the farmers along ITS lines
are identical, as increased yields for
the farmers will mean greater traffic
fer the railway TO handle, and is,
therefore, undertaking the expendi-
tn, es necessary to carry on this work
which will have to prove Of direct
benefit to farmers before it can indi.
fectly benefit the railway.

REFUSED PAYMENT
or Account Rendered by the Colun'
bia Record.

The Columbia correspondent OF
The News and Courier says Governor
Cole L. Blease inserted in the Co
lunlbia Record before the primary g.
political advertisement, for which he
was rendered a bill by the Record
fo- sS.40. He drew a warrant on
his contingent fund, sent it to the
Comptroller General with the Dill
approved, and ordered paid. The
Comptroller General declined to pay
tbs item in the following letter,
which he sent to the Record:
"The Record Publishing Company,
Co!umbia, S. C.-Gentfemen: have
OF file your bill for advertisement
inserted in your paper by the Hon.
Cole L. Blease, which has been ap-
proved by him for payment out OF
his contingent fund as Governor.
This appropriation rs for scontin-
gent fund for rewards and other pur-
poses. This was intended to cover
disbursements incidental to the ad-
ministration Of the Governors Office
which could not well be foreseen.
'"The bill handed me does not ap-
pear to be tor any expense incidental

nor's Office, but to be a personal

burg, and that 15S names were OF
persons absolutely unknown.
In reply to cross examination from
Mr.. Dominick, Mr.. Patton stated that
his citizens committee made no
charges of fraud, but reported con-
ditions as it found them. He declar-
ed it as his opinion that Of the three
managers of the Central box, Mr..
Poole was a Blease supporter and
Messrs. McGhee and Davis were
Jones men.
The trend Of counsel's questions,
was to show that the machinery at
Spartanburg wa 8 entirely in the
hands of Jones men. Mr.. Dominick
again called for specific charges and
Mr.. Shand stated that his compila-
ton Of the figures in the hands OF
the committee, would constitute the
charges upon which Judge Jones
would base his contest, provided they
proved sufficient. The scope OF the
committte work was thereby some
what more clearly defined.
In short, it is a Court of Inquiry
into the methods ana praitices OF the
recent primary, and whether or not
there is a. contest by any candidate
or candidates is left with those In
terested. The Greenville session OF
the committee was brief and quiet,
no large crowd having assembled
Moving on to Anderson, the commit
tee will adjourn to meet in Columbia

committee, which has been called by

He Breaks Down and Tells How Ho
Ruined Innocent Young Girls In

~ am guilty Of the charges against
me. I must have been tempted by
th& devil. II ever a man has repent
Ell for his sins that man is me. EY-
cry night since I resigned as super
intendent Of the orphan asylum
have prayed to my Maker to forgive
me. My wife and child are living
near Greenville and it Is breaking
my heart to think what my child
will have to face when she grows
older"
Such was the confession Of Thurs
tor U. Vaughn, former superinten-
dent Of the Odd FeIlows Orphan
Home near Greenville S. c., made
just before departing for South Car
olina from Baltimore with Sheriff
Poole.
Pathos marked every faltering ut
terance Of the broken man. Tears
coursed down his cheeks and his
frame shook with emotion. Sup
ported by the strong arm Of the kind
officer the prisoner talked to a group
OF newspaper men for some time be-
fore leaving the city prison.
"I regret it all, regret 1t all, re-
peated Vaughn in depths OF despair.
"If it could only be undone," he
walled.
Vaughn seemed to mink more OF
the sorrow that has come to his wife
and daughter than Of his own aw-
full plight.
Since early Wednesday he has
been a changed man. He broke
down completely and has been in
high state Of nervousness since.
Wednesday afternoon he voluntarily
confessed to his guilt and appeared
mere composed when he had unbur-
deLed his soul.
Sheriff J. Perry Poole, Of Green
vile, left Wednesday afternoon with
Vaughn and will proceed direct to
the State penitenttary at Columbia.

THE COTTON OUTLOOK
FIFTEEN CENTS A POUND Is HOP.
ED Fer THIS YEAR.
Glow Marketing Of the Crop Is Being
Urged in This State by Those Who
Have Given the Subject Study.

By a proper marketing Of the cot
the price Of the staple will reach Is
cents, according to experts who have
given the matter much thought.
Among the expression recently CIV
en out Is one from President Dabbs
of the State Farmers Union, in
which he says: Never before can l
recall that we have had better pros
poets of good prices for cotton"
Others share the opinion and some
are forecasting a fifteen cent price
for cotton. In this county the crop
is short, as has been stated and this
is generally true throughout the
State. Mr.. r. NJ. Mixson Of Willis
ton, S. c., urges the holding OF cot
ton in the following statement:
The season is sufficiently advanced
to enable us to mako a reasonably
correct estimate Of yield Of cotton for
the season Of 1928.
My information from every section
Of every State in the cotton belt indi-
Gates a yield from the cotton crop
g1own this year Of 1z,181,294 bales
OF 500 pounds each. The crop by
States is in my opinion, as follows:
