Cold wavss and Dear Turkey.

From time immemOrial there has
been saying thai a cold Thanksgiving
eve meant dear turkey. Just what ef,
feet cold weather has on turkey prices
has never been explained. but of recent
years the superstition has been con-
drmed at least half the time. for prices
have been high all the time. so that if
THANKSGIVING eve happened to be
cold believers in the saying could join
the Il told you SO chorus But if the
weather was warm and prices were
still high-well. the less said the better.
It was bad enough 10 pay the prices

promoting hygiene and sanitation ever
given in this country.
Although more than $4,000 square

New Graft i'm Gotham.

New York, Aug. 2S.-Searching
along the train OF police blackmail
that led to the murder of Rosenthal,
the States attorney now reports a
form Of social evil from which colOs-
sal graft was collected.
This blackmail. he says. was OBJ
tanned from about dozen houses in
this city. each of which paid from
$1,000 to $4,000 dollars monthly Cor
police protection to inspectors in
whose districts the houses were To-
Gated. Whitman has learned that
these houses paid high blackmail not
becaues of the great income but be-
cause of the protection essential tp
their existence.
The lists of girls i'm these houses
showed that their ages ranged from
Is to IS. An investigation is expected
to produce a sensation.

Cancer Due to Lack OF Potash.

London, Aug. 27.-"The treatment
for cancer is easy for any doctor who
is qualified to administer castor oil
and to perform a surgical operation"
said DR.. Forbes Ross, lecturing on
Cancer-Is the Problem SOlved?"
He argued that the disease was due
to the deficiency Of potassium salts
in the body, owing to the popular
custom Of pouring away the juices of
cooked vegetables which contain pot
ash and other valuable natural salts.
while lime, magnesium and So
dunn" he said, "are to be found in
practically every form of food, pOtas-
sum was often absent, and the Eng
Iish fashion of cOking results in peo-
pie eating much minus mintrals.'
Fifty years ago 500 women and
200 men per million died of cancer,
and today the figures are 1 900 and
500 respectively.
THE savage never suffers from the
disease. nor did the negro and other
native races until they began to cook
i'm white man fashion. Food ought
to be cooked conservatively and eaten
with natural juices"

CROWD SLOWLY THINS OUT.
Interest Gradually Dying Down as
Certainty OF jones' Defeat Is Real
lied.

The interest In the election bulletins
gradually died out Wednesday even
ing and Thursday morning as the
news Of Judge Jones defeat became
known. There were few Blease
men who remained around the bulle-
tins until late Wednesday evening.
The Jones men waited until the de-
feat Of their man seemed certain and
then departed for home, unwilling to
remain longer on the streets.
Thursday morning few bulletins
were coming in but they in no wise
changed the results already received
and were received with comparatively
little interest. The Blease men SEEM
ed triumphant over their victory and
the Jones men were correspondingly
downcast.
Many persons have remarked up
on the orderliness Of the crowds on
the streets. despite the intense inter-
est displayed in the election and the
results.

majority in Greenville was not as
great as that of Mr.. Feateherstone's in
1910.
In Chester the two candidates got
an even break, the vote being ex-
actly the same.
On the face of the returns now in
hand, the second primary for State
Offices will be one of the lightest in
years. Apparently, only two offices
viii be carried into the second pri-
niary-railroad commissioner and at
torney general. This clearing up Of
the situation does not by any means
extend to the county offices, as these
have in the main. been sought by
more than two contestants, and q
great number of second races is ex-
pected to result.

MEETING OF CONTESTANTS.
Prize OF $50 Offered by City National
Bank in Oat and Vetch Hay Con-
test.

The contestants in the City National
Bank four-acre prize contest met
Thursday morning in the directors
room of the~bank to discuss and plan
rules governing the harvesting Of
their prize crops. There was a good
attendance and rules were drawn :. o

days. President Lennon, for the
bank, offered a prize of $50 for the
largest yield Of oat and vetch hay
grown on one acre of land and stated
that his bank would offer at later
date from $500 to $500 in prizes for
next years crops. An oat and vetch
crop planted during September can
be harvested during the first week in
May, and will yield up to 5 tons Of dry
forage per acre, according to the at
tention given it. The contest is open

The governor said he could not
even estimate his pre-convention ex-
penses. He said most Of the money,
however, was raised from Princeton

Practically all the money was
spent for publicity" he said, "for
distributing news throuh the press.

did not volunteer it. We sent it out

The governor said that so far as
he knew, no campaign contributions
were declined. With reference to the
Thomas F. Ryan incident. which de-
veloped in connection with the Wat
Iterson-Harvey-W Wilson episode, the
governor was asked if he had not de-

RECORD IN RAISING TOMATOES
Miss Kate ROuntree Produced To-
matOes at Rate of $1,000 Per Acre
lis Member Of the Schultz Town
ship Tomato CIub-Work Was
Started by Mrs. Cecil Seigler.

Augusta Chronicle.
Miss Kate Rountree, a student in
the North Augusta school has achiey-
ed feat in the Industrial history Of
this section that is revelation to
older men and women and an in
spiration to children everywhere.
1t came about in this way: In the
spring Of 1912 Miss Marie Cromer,
now Mrs. Cecil H. Seigler, wife of
Aiken County's progressive and eff
cient superintendent of education,
visited the North Augusta schools
and made an enthusiastic and per-
snasive appeal to the girls to organize
Tomato Club. About twelve girls
who could get the necessary ONE
rcnth of an acre Joined the club and
started the work under the supervis-
ION and direction of the general to-
II alto and canning phases Of the State
and United States departments Of ag-
r.culture.
Miss Pauline Smith Of the sopho-
more class and Misses Seibelle Meyer
and Kate Rountree. who will be in
the senior. or fourth year in the
Schultz High school next term, have
been the most successful in the un-
dertaking.
The yield from Miss Rountree's
patch is particularly gratifying. She
has already canned from her one
tenth acre $50 quarts, which are safe
and secure; besides losing between
200 and 800 quarts because Of delay
in shipment Of cans. However, there
Is still a young top crop from which
she will easily can enough to raise her
net commercial product to 1000
quarts. Furthermore, Miss Roun-
trees cans are honest quarts of real
food. The tomatoes were peeled and
packed into the cans as long as they
would hold any part of tomato.
Miss Rountree has been offered II
cents a quart. but expects IL IL.
Even at 10 cents a quart she has
earned 800 from one-tenth of an
acre or the rate Of $1,000 per acre.
The young ladies who have had the
courage to plan and the faith and per-
severance to accomplish such results
deserve the highest commentator
and a generous reward at the hands
Of the people of this section and this
State. These young ladies are excel
lent students, cultured and refined,
and at the same time they have the
common sense and the will to do some
thing with their hands that is really
worth while.
These successful efforts not only
dignity toll and instill correct ideas
Of labor, industry, patience and stead
fastness Of purpose; but they reveal to
the leading men and women the un-
measured possibilities in the natural
agricultural resources of the South
when intensive methods are employed
At the above rate a ten-acre farm
would yield $4,000 annually, and
there are other crops that might be
even more profitable than tomatoes
with intensive management.
Much honor be to the girls who are
doing this work. and the highest
praise be given to Mrs. Seigler, who
Is honored in Aiken County, the State
Of South Carolina, and the United
States as the original, prime mover,
in the organization Of Girls Tomato
Clubs in America.
