Hon. Oscar Lapham, prominent
business man of Providence, R. l., and
former member of the house of rep
resentatives from the Providence dis
trict, says:
Mr.. Underwood would poll just as
many votes in Rhode Island as any
other man the Democrats could nom
mate. Let the South send Under
wood delegates to the Baltimore con-
vention and the North will stand by
her, and November we will show to
the nation that the war is over.
q travel a great deal in the North
ern and Eastern states, in Maine,
Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Con
necticut and New York. Mr.. Under
wood has a large following, and they
would be glad Of an opportunity to
vote for Southern man of his abil-

NEW YORK ENDORSES

Neither party has ever elected a
president without the electoral vote
of the state of New York. While New
York will have an uninstructed dele
CATION, the New York state commit
tee has endorsed the record of Lead
er Underwood in the house, which in
dicates very strongly that they favor
his nomination and election.
With four Democratic candidates in
the field, no one of them will go into
the national convention with anything
like a majority of the vote. Under the
Democratic rule it takes two-thirds to
nominate. It will be seen, therefore,
that the nomination will be secured in
the convention and any candidate has
an opportunity of getting the nomina-
ton.
This is the first time in so years a
Southern Democrat has had such a
bright chance of getting the nomina-
ton. Georgia should, therefore, insist
upon her preference and do all in her
power to give the nomination to the
son Of her daughter state, Alabama.

The following lnformatlon
contained in a dispatch sent out
from Pendleton should attract
great and enthusiastic atten-
ton and consideration by the
citizens of Oconee, Anderson
and Pickens counties. The pro-
position is well worth the best
thought Of our best people:
The success of the old time
coantry fair held here October
s has stirred the people of this
section to greater efforts, and
plans were adopted by the Pen
dleton Farmers Society at its
annual meeting Yesterday (the
9th in its history looking to a
great tri-county fair in 1913, to
be followed by a centennial Gel
ebration in 1915.
AT the meeting yesterday,
after the election of officers for
ensuing year. a resolution was
adopted authorizing the presi-
dent of the association to ap-
point committe of five from
each county-Anderson, Pick
ems and Oconee the chairman
of each committee to constitute
an executive committee. These
committees are to have exclusive
charge of the formulating and
carrying out of plans for the
fair
Each of the counties men
toned could hold annually a
creditable fair, but somehow
(and unfortunately, we think,)
the county fair proposition does
not appeal to our people as it
did in years past. But certain
ly the three great counties OF
Oconee, Anderson and Pickens
could join hands and push to
success this tri-county fair pro-
position, giving an exhibition
from these preventative count
les of the Piedmont that would
prove rot only a source OF in
formation to the outside public
as to what we have and are do
ing. but would give our own
people a broader conception OF
what the Piedmont section Of
South Carolina is in reality.

(and more frequently to mis-
iudge) our whole section by the
daily exhibition that greet US
about our own homes. We can
all be materially benefited by
getting together and seeing
what the people Of other COM
munities, other counties and
other sections are doing.

ton is one that has within its
scope. great possibilities Tor the
future. Untold benefits would
accrue to >the three counties
directly concerned, and not
alone to them, but to every sec
ton of the State.
By all means let the citizens
of Oconee, Anderson and Pick
ems take hold of this PROPOSE
ton with energy, enthusiasm
and a determination to make a
grand success. We have the
country, the resources, the pro-
ducts of soil and manufac-
tories. All that is necessary is
that energy and determination
that must be put into ever en-
terprise that succeeds. If we
fail to carry out this proposed
tri-county fair, or if it is under
taken and proves a failure, it
will be simply because we have
not the enterprise, push and
ability that the citizens of a
section such as ours ought to
have. The will to do things is
all that needs to be shown to
