three prohibitionists whereas in the
second primary when a much larger
total vote was cast. Blease received
only 56.1S2 votes to 81 ,O49 for Feath-

In the first primary of 1910. which
was the real test of the persona,

received "a majority in only three
counties. Aiken. IL votes; Newberry,
176 votes; and Saluda, 16 votes. Nc
Leod received a majority in the six
counties of Beaufort, Charleston,

In the first primary Blease received

Charleston had cast only 3,124 fol-

rHE FARMERS INSTITUTE.
The Institute u SucccSs-roOk Mat.
terS to- the Farmers Interest
shown.

The Farmers Institute at the Ba-
kcr Schol last week as all know who
attended H. was a success, a great
success as an educa tional institute.
The motive for having this institute
in the country was that the farmers
who need the instruction most may
get ii easier. 1t is a matter of COM
mon observation that the real farmer
does not, as a rule, attend the insti-
tutes which the colleges send out for
his instruction. One reason for this
is that the institutes are too often
held in the towns and that the farm
er. even should he be in town the
same day, often has other things to
do which, in his opinion, are of more
Importance than the institute. So he
attends to them and gives the school
a gO-by. 1t was the idea of the plan
ners of this institute that if the farm
ers had the school brought right to
| their doors they would come out and
hear the speakers and find out what
the educational institutions are try
to be true. For while there was not
| very large attendance it was noticed
| that the most of the farmers in the
neighborhOod were there and seemed
intensely interested. When an apology
was offered Mr.. Long, the representa-
tive of the national department of
| agriculture, for the rather small at
| tendance, he replied, Your institute
| is a success. The size of the crowd
| institute right to the doors of the
men who need it has been amply
justified i'm your case and l hope you
will do the same thing next year and
the next. The department is with
you and will give you all the aid in
! its power" Mr.. Long also said in
an address which he made that he
had come six hundred miles, sent by
| the department to bring its sympathy
and wishes for the success of the
| movement. The managers of the af-
| fair appreciated this more than any
contribution the Government could
| could have made.
| The people from Clemson and Win
! throp who came as instructors re-
marked that the institute was very
different from those usually attended
by them in the great interest shown
| and the evident care and trouble
taken To entertain them. The build
| ing of the eating house and kitchen.
| the music, the provision to sleep" as
well eat the visitors were unusual
| evidences of the great appreciation
| felt by the people of the community
The Baker school has scored another
success and should feel amply repaid
for all that they did i'm the social.

OF the two leading candidates for

look back To the campaign of 1910
and in the light of the election figures
of'two years ago form some idea of
the chances this year. Judge Jones is
new factor personally in the pri-
mary, but the strength of Governor
Blease and of the opposition to him
Is pretty well known
Mr.. Blease was elected In the Sec
ond primary of 1910 by majority
of only little more than five thous-
and votes-to be exact. his majority
was S,l33. A change of less than o.
600 votes woud have defeated him.
In Charleston his majority was more
than that. IL was 2.743 and IL was
that at least fifteen hundred fraud
ulent votes were cast In Charleston
county. In Richland the majority for
Governor Blease was over one thous-
and. II was 1927. and a substantial
change in those two counties would
ordinarily be sufficient to bring about
the defeat OF the present governor.
In 1910 Mr., Biease had In the Sec

cally all factions In Charleston and
