Columbia, Aug. 3O-The votes in
the Democratic primary of Tuesday
conunued to pile up yesterday, the TO-
tails late last night reaching the pre-
dicted mark of 100000 for governor
with about five boxes still unreport-
ed. With those figures the three can
oldates for governor stood: Blease
I'525' Jones 66,466, Duncan 1855.
Ihls placed Blease's majority at Q
0'4 with practically all the returns in.
Interest in the primary, however.
yesterday began TO turn away from
the mere numbers and to trend to-
ward a possible investigation as to
whether this vast number of votes
was cast legally and regularly. Sem
ator &. r. Tillman, whose attention
was attracted by the great number
OF votes cast, wired John Gary Evans
OF Spartanburg, State chairman, that
the primary INST be safeguarded, and
he urged an inquiry should it develop
that the number of ballots cast was
unreasonable.
Mr.. Evans replied, announcing that
the executive committee would do it's
full duty in the matter.
Owing to the fact that the Spar
tanpurg county committee has not yet
canVassed the vote Of that county, the
State executive committee at its
meeting today will be unable to de-
clare the result, and will probably
have to adjourn until next week.
Other contests also will play their
part and the official result of the elec-
ton can not be promulgated for sew
eral days.
In several counties there were con-
tests of more or less serious nature.
In Greenville a recount was or
dered, and was carried through by
the executive committee without Sc
rious changes in the results. In Aiken
county Mr.. Cassels appeared before
the committee with a protest. 1t was
not formal, however, and Mr.. Cassells
did not press it. He announced, how
ever, that he would appeal to the
State executive committee, which
meets here today.
In York county there was a protest
Of the entire vote, and the executive
committee undertook to count it
again. The count did not begin until
late in the day and was not completed
at nightfall.
In Anderson county the committee
made new tabulation Of the returns
but did not go into the charges of
fraud, which will be taken up Satur-
day. The charges alleged illegal and
fraudulent voting, and every box in
the county is contested. Anderson's
vote this year was over 5000, some

France Produces Many Fewer Auto
mobiles. Having Lost Primacy.

New YOrg, Aug. 28.-The thousands
OF automobiles produced annually by
individual makers in this country
must seem fantastic to the French
men who has a chance to find out
how many cars are produced in the
factories Of his native land once the
leader Of the automobile industry Of
the world.
~ statistical expert here figures that
the 27 leading French makers pro-
duced a total of fewer than $4,000
cars in 1911. There were at least half
dozen concerns in this country
which individually produced more
cars than all Of France and a few
of them that produce more than twice
as many.

BIG KNOCKERS. TOO.

Recently a Baraboo lecturer urged
the local Commercial club to select 9
knocker committee to knock the
knockers. AS will be seen by the fol.
lowing from the New York Mail,
there are knockers in big cities as well
as in little ones. Read what the Mail
says:
"There are more knockers than
boosters In New York city. The sound
of the hammers of the knockers is
incessant. There is wonderful assort-
ment of them, ranging from the little
tack. hammer of Mr.. Nobody to the
forty-ton pile driver of Mr.. Somebody
and their combined clamor and CHATTER
is prodigious. And the sum total of
all the pounding is mighty hind
rance to the progress of the great
metropolis. The marked Roadway
that the city does make is in spite of
all this confusion of knocking. But
what waste of energy is dissipated
in this ceaseless pounding often unin-
formed, much of the time misin-
formed! Could public spirit transform
this energy to the boosting of the city,
what tremendous benefits might be
wrought! The Merchants association
represents an organized effort in this
direction. It has done much. It can
do more. Every hammer discarded,
every carping knocker turned into a
booster, is work Of merit and public
profit"

charges full me ,sure and then sends q
check to the physician who brought
the patient, or he may give him the
money on the quiet, or certain per
cent may have been agreed upon for
all who may be sent TO the one skilled
in surgery. DR.. G. S. Sheldon of
Madison, secretary of the State Medi-
cal society and former president of the
American Academy of Medicine, has
sent out circular letter to one thou
sand physicians which calls for a
remedy of the troublesome problL.n.
In letter he says in part:
The commission, or fee-splitting evil,
beginning in small way, and often
in an attempt to remedy a seeming
injustice, has now reached such pro-
portions that it has become absolutely
intolerable for all the parties concern.
ed. AS practice it is fraught with
evil, both to the doctor, the surgeon
and the patient and is indefensive
from any standpoint whatever. It is
matter involving personal integrity,
as we'll as the honor and good name of
our profession. 1t lowers medical
ethics beyond recognition and puts up
the innocent victim, doubly wronged,
to the highest bidder.
We need not imagine that the gen.
eral public is ignorant of this nefarious
traffic, nor wonder why the medical
profession fails to receive the conf
dence and recognition which we think
it deserves. A ratical reform is ur.
gently demanded by every right
thinking physician and this reform
must be effected within our own ranks
We favor the personal plan because:
1. 1t is an honest effort to abate an
acknowledged evil.
2. It's publicity. The patient knows
the whole financial transactions.
3. 1t recognizes more fully the
value of the services of the physician
and
4. 1t tends to lower surgical fees
which, under existing circumstances,
are higher than they should be for PEG
pie of moderate means.
