The Primarr FIN Lanrens.

Commenting on the action of the
executive committee of Laurens coun-
ty. the Laurens Advertiser says:
THE action of the committee in
drawing up such resolutions was very
precipitate If the committee intended
to clear the county's skirts Of the
charges of fraud in it's election. Such
alertness, in the face of the many
rumors and charges going back and
forth tends more to incriminate us
than TO clear us. The committee puts
the county in the unfortunate attitude
Of crying innocent before charges
have been made. Such an attitude pre-
supposes guilt"
A rumor has already been heard
outside of Laurens county that at
three boxes, no poll lists were kept.
That some Of the county commit,
tees quietly assume that intention to
commit frauds was absent from the
primary, that while the primary was
free and easy the Irregularities were
no greater than usual and that the
public should let bygones be bygones
will not remove from the public mind
suspicion that the primary as now
conducted may not be relied upon as
a safe method Of obtaining true ex-
preston OF the popular will.
In eighteen years the vote in State
primaries increased from $1,000 to
lo7,0OO-the total increase being
about 19,50O from 1892 to 1910.
Then in two years, to 1912, the
total vote increased about 34OOO.--The

To Boys Corn Club.

Each year about time to gather corn,
quite number of the boys of the
hoys Corn Club write to this office for
information as to the method to be
used in measuring their land and corn
Many boys who do not write go ahead
and gather their corn but make very
inaccurate measurements of both corn
and land. The method used is as fol-
lows: Weigh every bit of the corn in
the shuck After the total weight is
found weigh two lots of 100 pounds
each from different parts of the total
Shuck and shell these two lots and
weigh the shelled corn in order to find
the average percentage of shelled
corn. Multiply the total weight by this
percentage and divide by 56 in order
to get the total number of bushels
ALI the above should be done by two
disinterested witnesses. 1t is not nee
essary to have the land surveyed by
regular surveyor, btu simply mea-
sured by the two witnesses, who may
use an ordinary tape. The acre should
contain only 4S4O square yards.
Where the yields goes above 100
bushels per acre an additional rule
will be necessary: On the day of
weighing 'oke fair sample of 1-2 gall
Ion of she ed corn and mail the same
in moisture-tight package to the
Farmer'd Cooperative Demonstration
office, Department of Agriculture,
Washington, D. c., together with a
certificate of the total weight and the
percentage of shelled corn. The de-
partment will have moisture test
made OF the sample and the weight
moisture test, and percentage of she'll
ed corn, determine the official yield
The moisture-tight package or vessel
will be furnished by applying to the
Extension Division of Clemson col
lege. They can be mailed under frank,
thus using no postage. Any yield of
100 bushels or more will non be recog-
nized unless the above rules are strict
ly carried out. Blanks for making
the report of the crop will be furnish
ed by boys. Any boy who has not
yet received the blank may obtain one

An Old Story.


In an editorial article demanding
that the race track at Havre de Grace
be closed, the Baltimore Sun says:
Under the guise of very simple
act to aid the Belair fair, the gates
were opened wide and the gamblers
flocked down upon Maryland like
harpies There is an atmosphere of
deceit and fraud around the whole
affair Members of the Hartford dele
CATION declare amendments were
smuggled through. Gov. Goldsbor-
ough says ne was grossly deceived as
to the effect of the bill, and had he
known the truth, would certainly have
vetoed the measure The first months S
racing made H2vre de Grace notorious
as gambling centre. Our citizens are
appalled, at the prospect of Maryland
becoming the biggest gambling state
in tine east.
The story from Maryland s an old
one. Experience in every state where
racing has been allowed in late years
has proved the impossibility of restor-
ing the turf as it was known half a
century ago. Racing by running
horses has come to be simply a
gambling game. Wherever it is per-
mitted ii demoralizes-Th State

In his two columns of words Col
onel Cannon made another re-
mark, namely, concerning The Adver-
tiser's desire to have a finger in the
ballot box. We wonder why he didn't
use the good old fashioned and appro-
pirate expression finger in the pie"
And it must have been d sweet morsel
to the Colonel's palate when he pro-
claimed to the worshipping multitude
with the Cock-Robin-Sp spirit
81 did it" And still sweeter when the
well done good and faithful servant"
came AS TO the Advertisers desire
to obtain a piece of the pie it might
be rather truthfully said that fifty dol
lar pies are somewhat expensive for
the mere pleasure of gazing upon, for
it would cost us that much at least
to print the club rolls of Laurens
county. Nay, nay, Pauline, you bolt
ed at an angle of seventy nine degrees

AS to the dear little joke about the
political soreness, SO brilliantly pa
raded by Colonel Cannon, The Adver-
tiser proudly endorses that statement
as eminently correct. We fought to
eliminate demagogues from the Of
ficialdom of South Carolina and los
ing, we very naturally became sore.
1t is enough to make anyone sore and
the Laurens county executive commit
tee has failed to offer any salve.

RAMBLING REMARKS.

A lengthy communication from
Chairman Cannon to The Laurens-
vile Herald is found on another page
of this paper. Col. Cannon need not
have run up to The Herald with a
reply to The Advertiser We would
have been very glad to publish what
he had TO say In fact it would have
saved The Herald some expense as
we publish it anyhow. Col. Cannon
just "let himself out" on this thing
too and he "showly" did puncture the
air. We will not enter into any lengthy
discussion about 1t. It's too long. We
will just ask the Colonel to make a
pass at this: Why does ne object to
having the polling lists published
when other county chairmen are
letting them get from under lock
and key" and into the papers where
the citizens may see for themselves
how the big vote was piled up?

Colonel Cannon's answer was
charmingly rendered and worthy of
Elliot's five foot shelf especially the
shelf part. We believe he did him
self great injustice in that article
for he is better fitted to obtain the
poisoning results desired in far
more lucid style, His reply didn't
come up to what we expected He
had an excellent opportunity to switch
of the track and really raise a racket.
But he did not And mind you we
would not for one instant think of
