JEWISH HOLIDAYS.
New Year Commenced at Sun Down
Wednesday and Day Of Atonement is
10 Days Later.

Jews throughout the world will OBJ
serve the New Year which commenced
Wednesday evening at sun down. By
some two days are observed, and by
others only one day. Ten days after
the first day of the new year is the
Day of Atonement, or Fast day,
which falls this year on Saturday,
September %. All Jewish holidays
commence at sun down and last until
sun down, so that Fast day also is OBJ
served from the evening before.
The Jewish places Of business in
Newberry will be closed for the New
Year and for the Day of Atonement.
The Jewish New Year, or Rosh
Hashonah, falls this year on Thurs
day, September 18th. Like all Jew
ish holidays it is reckoned from even
ing to evening and its initial service
will be held on the evening of the
eleventh. While, owing to the vari-
ance between the solar and lunar sys-
TENS of calendation, it may appear
to occur irregularly it is definitely
set in the Jewish calender as the first
day of the seventh month, ,Tishri
1t is not known scripturally as the
New Year In the Scriptures it is
termed the "Day of the Memorial OF
the Blowing of the trumpet Levitt
Gus XXIII-24 or simply, the "Day
of the Blowing of the trumpet
t(Numbers XXIX-1.)
The nature of the festival is what
its name signifies, i. E., marking OF
the passage of time and monition
of the uncertain tenure Of human
life. It does not commemorate any
historical incident Nor does it make
it's appeal to the radical conscious
ness of the Jews. It's anDeal is en-
tirely to the present and to the ia-
dividual conscience. 1t lis thorough
lv universalistir md can be respond
ed to by all religionists of whatever
creed.
The day is observed seriously and
.solemnly. II embassies the sense OF
divine guidance, and, at the same
tine, of human responsibility. The
blowing of the trumpet, the Shofar
or rams horn, is the peculiar service
Of the day. 1t is the bugle-call OF
the spirit, arousing the conscience
in the contemplation of misspent
hours, and awakening the Impulse
to make the new, coming year more
fruitful of noble and ~unselfish ac-
ton.
The observance. of the day is COM
Dlete alike Dy Doth the reform ana
orthodox wings of the Synagogue. Of
fices and, business houses are closed
and the houses of PRAYER in the larger
cities are thronged with worshippers.
Ten days from the BEGINNING of the
New Year CONES the Day of Atone
ment. This day is. too. just what its
name signifies. It is observed gen
rallv by abstinence from all food and
drink, and by prayer. The Day OF
Atonement is the hottest day in the
Jewish calendar. 1t is the culmina-
ton of the days OF penance a"d &c
marked by an atoning for the sins Of
the past year. In all lands, in every
cline, this day is observed by Jews
who are united in a universal prayer
for forgiveness.

THINKS PRIMARY WAS FAIR.
W. o. Guy, of Chester, Quotes Some
Figures to Justify His Claim of
Cleanness.
To the Editor of The State:

i " luC IUlIOl VI ! uS SIdIC
am 10th to believe the wholesale
charges of fraud that are being her
aided abroad about the primary of
August 27. l have used the figures
furnished by the State of August 81
to do little figuring. I take Ches-
ter county first, because there is no
suspicion of any fraud being prac-
ticed here, and I am conversant with
the facts, being member Of the
executive committee. There was no
protest or contest filed with the CON-
mittee when they met and tabulated
the returns and declared the. results.
I find Chester's increase over 1910 to
be 80 per cent. I next take Anderson,
one of the strongest Blease counties
and find an increase of 26 per cent.
Then Orangeburg, strong for Jones,
81 per cent. Greenville, for Jones,
the unprecedented increase of 76 per
cent. Spartanburg, for Biease, in
crease % per cent. Charleston, strong
for. Jones, increase 40 per cent. The
increase for the State is about 81 per
cent.
So we see the counties which I
have taken, and believe to be fair
average, with the exception of Green
vile, do not differ greatly from the
general average.
I have gone to the trouble to do
little more figuring. You say that we
should have one voter to every five
inhabitants (white)., / take ter
ritory between the Southern railway
and the Charleston & Northwestern
railway, beginning at Chester and ex-
tending for ten miles On each rail-
way, and being about seven miles
apart at the upper end, and by actual
count | have found to contain 81
white families consisting Of 127 per-
sons, among whom were 81 voters.
The other extreme was one family
with two members and one voter, and
they lived within sight of each other.
I believe that you will agree with
me, that, owing to the factional lines
being drawn so taut, that the can
vass for voters was unprecedented in
South Carolina. We noticed from the
press reports, especially one instance
where there was about 15z voters on
one train returning from the noun
tains, during the hot weather, in or
der to cast their vote for their favor
ties I, myself, saw the friends of
Judge Jones convey, practically in
their arms, a man just recovering
from severe attack of typhoid fever,
to the polls in order that he might
cast his vote.
Considering the above facts, and
you will admit that they are facts, I
believe with thousands and tens of
thousands of voters in South Caro-
lima, that our last primary was just
and fair, and l sincerely trust that
the State executive committee will
submit to the will of the majority of
the voters of the State of South Caro-
lima. W. O. Guy.

INSISTS ELECTION WAS HONEST.
Florence Citizen HoOts at the Charges
of Fraud.

To the Editor of the News and Cou-
rier:: 1 seldom ask any favor of the
newspapers, but the political condl-
tions are such that an honest man
must think if he does not speak. l
have witnessed many elections, and
must say the last primary was the
most honest We have ever had in
Florence county. The executive COM
mitteemen are, with few exceptions,
Jones men. They were given the pow
er to appoint the managers, and near
ly all were Jones men. A few sore
heads tried to find clue, but could
not.
| am not surprised at Jones alleging
that the managers were so corrupt or
allowed fraud practiced at the polls.
I don't think it would be very healthy
for Jones to come in this county and
tell the managers that they permitted
fraud. 1t is a crime to lay at the door
of your friends fraud. But,sMr. Editor,
it seems that the Taft steam roller is
working in the State executive COM
mittee with, an intent to rob Cole. L.
Blease of the nomination as governor.
What can be the next step? 1t is talk
ed to bolt, like they did in 1894. The
action of the State executive commit
tee on Wednesday has violated every
principle of the rules and constitution
of the Democratic party, but, behold,
those political aspirants who have
trampled justice will be remembered.
The decent people who supported
Jones, some of them, are surprised
and disgusted The people have spok-
en- and demand that their will shall
De done. Jones's first protest was
aeainst those counties that gave
elesee large 'najorities, (in hopes to
>rt his vote down to declare him the
nominee.) but when that was too
thin, then he contests every box in
South Carolina, just to try to find
some way to get decision in his
favor. He (Jones) and his friends
can cry fraud; 'tis easy to do, but they
know it is false-at least they know
this has been the most honest cleo
ton we have had since '76. I want
you to remember these words: Ira B.
Jones will never be governor of South
Carolina. He has repudiated the hon.
esty of our citizenship. A majority
of the white people of South Caro-
lima has branded the charges and
slush against Blease as false (for the
negroes that voted voted for Jones).
The time has passed to fool the far
mer and other laboring people They
are now watching AFFAIRS with Keen
interest, and just rs sure they will
control this government as they live.
An enemy in pos't:on that requires
an honest man is less appreciated
than if he was loose in the street, for
what he does is doHoted, ane what
ae does not is mistrns'"l. Hence. it
is we'll known that the majority Of
that most disintereste1 executive
committee are enemies, botl! personal
I'D political, and to pour ol- the pu e
-trff seems to be impossible. Bur, MIR.
-Sitcr. please men ere waiting, and
.ov will some day perhaps tell you

est without the press.

ALL WILL BENEFIT FROM
1 BACK TO FARM MOVEMENT
Small Merchant In Conjunction With
Country Editor Could Make
Things Progress.

There are many country merchants
who see their trade gradually slipping
away from them, leaving the country
town and going to the great cities by
the channel 6f the mail ordar trade,
says Maxwell's Talisman.
There are many country editors who
see the prosperity of their towns de-
pleted and circulation and advertising
income reduced for the same reason.
There are very few, however. who
realize that their problem is national
one and that it is wrapped UP in and
part Of the great fundamental question
whether this nation shall be peNetu-
ated or shall be destroyed by the phys
ical degeneration Of humanity, the 20
cial unrest, industrial discomfort, moral
and political corruption and class ha-
tred bred In the city slums and tene-
ments and certain to eliminate In an
archistic crimes, riotous mobs and all
destroying social upheavals as the re-
suit Of some long continued period of
industrial and commercial depression.
The fact is that the upbuilding of
the country town md suburban village
as an antidote and safeguard against
the poisonous social, moral, physical
and political consequences Of herding
millions of our working people together
In the unnatural congested life Of the
tenements IL the one great question
that rises above all others In impor-
lance 40 problem that this nation
must solve. Unless It does solve II, It
VIII suffer death from human degener-
acy-the fate of 80 many nations and
civilizations that have risen in the past
only to be destroyed. Ours will be like
wise destroyed unless we take heed in
time.
Then comes the question Of the
growth OF towns and villages. There
Is where the country editors and mer-
chants can help themselves. Once get
1t into the minds Of the whole Ameri-
can people that the salvation Of the ma
ton depends on the upbuilding of the
country towns and suburban villages
get the idea planted and deeply rooted
80 it will grow itself-and thousand
influences will enter the field and enlist
for this great campaign for rural and
country town and village development
to check the overgrowrh of cities, with
all It's resultant evils.
Every country editor and country
merchant should be a leader in the
movement in his locality.

Milk Coolers.

Experiments with milk coolers at the
West Virginia station showed that
when the apparatus was merely. washed
and scalded it still contained great
many germs and helped to spoil the
milk in the process of cooling. The
only way to stop the trouble was found
in the use of live steam. After thor
oughly steaming the cooler and bot
ting machine the beneficial effects Of
cooling were found to be much greater.

dred shoots per square foot and found
them planted from nothing to four
inches deep. Those not covered did
not grow. Those covered four inches
deep came up late and weak and
were smothered out. Those too thick
did not stool out and grew very small
heads, and the bare places produced
nothing. Now I have been figuring
what we might raise If we could get
them perfectly even and all the right
depth. II we could plant one grain
on each two inch square 1t would
make thirty-six grains per square foot.
And II each threw out two shoots

square, and each head contained sixty
grains q have counted 225 per head,
1t would make AGO bushels per acre
and would only take two and one-half

seed per acre"
But not only is 1t impracticabe,
comments G. r. Barnes of the Min
nesota College of Agriculture. to Sc
cure, by any means now available,
such perfectly even distribution of
seed. so closely planted and at such
uniform depth as is necessary to the
achievement of results like those
pointed out by the above ..mathemati-
clans dream" but actual experiment
shows that such close planting would
probably defeat the object sought.
since the largest actual yields so far
have been obtained by a much more

When the pillow horses are

Never rush a horse on a down

causes of sprung knees and
strained tendons.
A famous veterinary surgeon
says that grass beats all the drugs
In creation as cure for sick
horses and mules. They should
have few quarts Of 1t daily
from spring to fall, for 1t is to
them what fresh vegetables and
fruit are to US. Their craving
for 1t proves their needs. When
they gnaw the bark of trees or
eat leaves it is because they
crave grass and can't get it. Mil
lions of bushels of grass go to
waste yearly by the wayside
which should be utilized for our
faithful, helpless dumb servants
and would help make them
healthy and happy.-Farm Jour,
