The Whooping up Business

The whooping up and howhng
down of candidates at POLITICAL
meetings has become very COM
mon, more so this year than in
the SOS when such a tumuit
was raised. Indeed it has BE-
come professional. Men follow
the campaign from place 10
place to whoop up their favorite.
From newspaper accounts OF
the twenty FIVE or more State
campaign meetings thus 1ar
held one would get the idea thai
Gov. Blease was easily tne
favorite with the people for the
reason he received the most ap-
plause and hurrahs. But this
does not always show, in fact
very seldom indicates, the man
receiving it is the fayorite. Fifty
men in a crowd of FIVE hundred
yelling, whooping, hollering and
cheering would easily impress
one that the whole crowd or the
greater part Of it was engaged
in it. Three or four dozen men
can make enough noise in a
crowd to drown the voice OF zoe
strongest speaker.
This question has been raised
in the State campaign and is be-
ing iaag discussed by the candidates
and newspapers. It has beer
stated and not denied that the
whoopers fer Gov. Blease at the
campaign meetings are what l:
known in the latest politlca
parlance as ''rooters" that il
they are fond friends OF tn
governor scattered over the stat'
and go from place to place, iron
county to county to whoop EN-
up. At the Calhoun count,
meeting Judge Jones made
large crowd of Blease men ad
NIT they were from Orange
burg and Lexington, adjoinin'
counties. It is well known tina
the Columbia meeting which
whooped so long and loud TO
Blease had men, Blease men
from all over the state. The.
vent there to whoop 'em up an'
they whooped 'em up.
We were told by a gentleman
this week that already plan
were being laid and arrange
ments made to run special train
from every part of the state tt
the Greenville meeting. which
will be the last one. Watch ant
see if this is not true. Watct
and see if the Greenville meet
ing is not the most largely at
tended of any in all the cam
paign. Watch and see if th'
Blease whoopers are not ther'
in large numbers and that suci
whooping as they will do will b'
q caution. Watch and see i
they do not try to howl Jone
down and carry the meeting
by storm for Blease so as t
make the impression that be il
aeiaslese sweep the Piedmon
section. AS Fagun would say
watch.

Plan to Hold Cotton.

! noticed last winter that the
farmers were holding conven-
tions and adopting resolutions
with the view of obtaining
higher prices for cotton. These
conventions, resolutions and
pledges to reduce acreage are
all right as far as they 90, but
so far they have been inefect-
ual. They are deficient in
power, and consequently fail to
secure the relief that the farm
ers are entitled to. Resolutions
and pledges cannot compete
with capital. It takes capital
to compete with capital. Mon
ey is necessary to compete with
the money of the spectators
and bears of Wall street and the
European spinners.
How would the following
plan dol
Each county in the South es-
tablish a farmers cotton bank
and warehouse at a suitable
place in the county, the capital
stock amounting from 800, ,O0O,-
90 to $1,000, 900 dollars. or as
large amount as is necessary
for tho operation of the cotton
selling business of the respec-
tive counties. Stock shares to
be 500 with the privilege to any
and all persons to aid in sup
port of this plan to buy as many
shares as wanted.
All stockholders to share
equally; no preferred stock.
Loan this money on cotton de-
posted IN warehouse as collat-
eral, interest at five or six per
cent per annum. said interest

Word mChnren Not Slam

The word 'chore," generally used
in the plural, is not slang, but an Eng
lish word of highly respectable line
age. In this form it is found only in
America, in England the spelling and
pronunciation being char" though
this is rarely used except in combina-
ton with woman" char-woman."
But in some of the provincial dialects,
that of Cornwall for example, the
word chores" is used precisely as we
use chores. All these forms come
down to US from the Anglo-Saxon
word "oerr," or "oerran," to turn
over.
