WANTED NEWS IN MANILA.
Former NeWberrian Cabled to New
berry to Learn RSult in Gov
ernOr's Race.

An indication of the intense inter-
est which the governors race in
South Carolina has created is shown
by a cablegram from Manila, sent by
a former Newberrian, to learn the re-
suit of the primary on Tuesday. There
are several Newberrians in Manila,
and they were naturally very much
interested.
The cablegram was as follows:
Harry w. Dominick, Newberry, S.
C.-Cable nomination governor.
Cooley"
This is Mr.. Joseph B. Cooley, for
merly of Newberry, now chief agent
of the Philippine constabulary.
Mr.. Dominick of course complied
with the request and announced to
Mr.. Cooley the nomination of Cover
nor Blease for a second term.

Congressman Wyatt Aiken is elect
ed from the Third Congressional dis
trict to succeed himself, having de-
feated Capt. F. S. Evans. Mr.. NJ. c..
Long. Congressman Aiken's other op-
ponent. had withdrawn from the race
as the result of failure to comply
with the Federal law in regard to Ill
ing matters with the Federal authori-
ties, as stated by Mr.. Long in state
ment which he issued.
Congressman Aiken carried every
county in the district, according to
the returns given Thursday. No

not exactly correct. In the reports
sent out by the News and Courier,
however, these totals had been cor
rected, The Herald and News having
carefully revised the figures in this
race on account of the fact that the
race in the State was so close. After
a careful revision, on the unofficial
returns received by The Herald and
News, the following totals for the
governors race in Newberry county
are given:
Blease, 1913.
Duncan, II.
Jones, 1927.
AS stated in the extra issued by
The Herald and News, Goggans and
Wheeler tie for clerk, according to the
returns received by this newspaper.
This race, of course, will be carefully
gone over by the county Democratic
executive committee, and where race
is so close the official figures may de-
eide it one way or the other.

Great Political Battle.


The political battle just brought to
a close, so far as the gubernatorlal
race is concerned, has been probably
the most remarkable in the history
of the Democratic primaries in South
Carolina. When Hampton and his
followers redeemed South Carolina
from negro domination in 1876
which was, of course, the greatest po-
litical battle and the greatest political
victory in the history of the State
that was the fight of a united Demo-
cracy, against scalawag and negro
rule The battle just fought was a
battle by opposing factions in the
Democratic party. There are those
who think' that the campaign of 1892
was more remarkable, and in some re->
spects it was. But Tillman did not
have such opposition as had Blease-
such united opposition. Even Tillman
himself had declared against Blease.
Returns Slow.
The returns were slow coming in,
owing to several reasons.
In the first place, the vote far sur
passed any vote recorded in a Demo-
cratic primary, going some $4,000
and possibly more beyond the high
water mark of the past.
In the second place, there were
long county tickets, some of these
being counted first.
There was, in addition, very slow
count in Charleston, owing to num-
tber of local conditions. Other big
counties were very slow in the count.
The Charleston vote did not begin
to make itself appreciably known un-
til some time Wednesday. There was
the intensest excitement in Charles
ton on the day of election, and the
News and Courier reported several
fights around and near the polls. and
a great deal of other disorde."".
There were a number Of alarming
rumors in circulation on Wednc sday
in regard to Charleston, il being re-
ported that riot had occurred d
that several people had been kl;ied.
,,,Oo rs boy
culation based on nothing more than
the fights which occurred in the city
on election day, and the further fact
that the militia of Charleston had
been ordered to be held in readiness
in case necessity should arise for it
to take hand. There proved to be
no occasion, however, for calling out
the militia.
- The County Races.
County returns from the various
counties have been slow in coming in,
and at an early hour on Thursday
morning it was impossible to give any
definite idea of the results in the va
rious county races throughout the
State 1t seemed likely that fair
idea of the results in the various coun-
ties could be gained during Thurs
day.
The Herald and News on Tuesday
night issued extras giving the results
in Newberry county. In the rush of
receiving reports over the telephone,
several errors have been discovered,
but it is hardly possible that the re-
suits announced by The Herald and
News can be changed by the official
tabulation Owing to two mistakes in
receiving reports, the totals for the
governors race in Newberry county as
given by The Herald and News were

BURNING ITCH WAS CURED

II deem 1t my duty to tell about a
cure that the Cuticura Soap and Oint-

BILE began in splotches breaking out
right in the edge of my hair on the
forehead, and spread over the front
part Of the top of my head from ear to
ear, and over my ears which caused a
most fearful burning itch, or eczema.
For three years had this terrible
breaking out on my forehead and
scalp. / tried our family doctor and
he failed to cure it. Then 1 tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment and used
them for two months with the result
of a complete cure. Cuticura Soap

II will say that have been suffer
ing with an itching on my scalp for
the past few years. My hair fell out
in spots all over my head. My scalp
started to trouble me with sores, then
the sores healed up, and crusts
formed on the top. Then the hair fell
out and left me three bald spots the
shape of half dollar. l went to more
than one doctor, but could not get any
relief, so / started to use the Cuticura
Remedies. tried one bar of Cuticura
Soap and some Cuticura Ointment,

Unwritten Law.

According to the Standard Diction-
airy, 1.-The unwritten law is rule or
custom established by general usage,
etc" The unwritten law, as the term
recently has come into use, is the as
sumed or supposed right of person
to punish even with death the author
of gross wrong committed against a
member of his family. Courts do not
countenance it, but justices frequently
act upon it, and several instances have
occurred within recent years in which
persons accused of homicide have
been acquitted.

LEThBRIDGE, ALBERTA,
SECURES DRY FARM
ING CONGRESS
FOR 1912.

Inc TERM, dry farming does not
indicate all that might be implied. 1t
does not mean a system of irrigation.
but one where all the rain fall and
precipitation is stored up and con-
served in the soil, to be drawn upon
by scientific and sane processes when
it may be required to forward and in
crease the growth of grain.
In certain sections of the Canadian
West as well as in the American
West, there is a portion of the coun-
try in which the soil is the very best
for the growing of cereals. but the
geographical locations and relative
position to the rain avenues, do not
give the advantage that other parts
possess in the matter of precipitation.
Agricultural science, however, has
been making rapid progress during
the past few years, and it is now as
certained that it is not altogether the
number of inches of rain that is es-
sential to the growing of crops, but
its conservation, and that is the
meaning of DRY farming" DRY
Farming may well be applied to dis
tricts where there is a heavy rain fall
and better results will follow. The
education of the public into these new
methods, not new exactly, but such
as have had satisfactory demonstra-
ton, is not alone the purpose of these
dry-farming Congresses. One idea is
to bring into life and into operation
the great areas of splendid land lying
within what might be termed semi
arid, without placing them under the
restrictive and expansive process of
irrigation.
The Congresses are attended by
thousands and they bring representa-
tives from all parts of the world. The
Province of Alberta, and also of Sas-
katchewan, has taken vital interest
in the Congresses which have been
held in the past two or three years.
The Province of Alberta has made
provincial exhibits, districts have
shown their products, and last year,
several hundred dollars we're taken in
prizes; this year the Province of Al
berta took prizes ten to one In excess
of any state in the Union. Alberta
has won eight out of twenty special
cups, that province taking one, Leth-
bridge one, Arthur Perry six, and
John Baxter, Edmonton, carrying on
one sweepstakes. When 1t came to
a matter of location for the Congress
for 1912, the City Of Lethbridse.
which had put up splendid fight for
it, secured the Congress by unani-
nous vote. It is expected that the
Lethbridge Congress will be the larg-
est yet held and will be the biggest
convention In the history of Western
Canada. In emphasizing his invita-
ton to Lethbridge, one Of the speak
ers said he had just received tele-
gram from Magrath (neaF Lethbridge)
stating that of one thousand acres Of
wheat just thrashed Hethershaw and
Bradshaw had thrashed $4,000 BUSH
els.
Literature sent out recently by the
Canadian Government Agents, which
will be sent postage free on applica-
ton, tells of hundreds of splendid
yields in all parts of Western Canada.
