S. Deneen. In the past, before Gov
ernor Deneen was elected to office,
the board of trade grain inspectors
of Chicago had performed the duty
of sampling all grain arriving and
leaving Chicago. Everybody then
was satisfied, as the work was ad-
mirably done, and a square deal was
had all around.
The board of trade inspection Office
which did such good work foP Csc per
car was abolished when Mr.. Deneen
was elected governor, and the most
inefficient and careless system at soc
per car was instituted. Numerous
complaints have been made against
this nefarious system, all of which
have been turned down and ignored.
Who gets the worst of this? The Illi-
nois farmer, the grain dealer and the
people, of course; and who gets the
revenue out of this? It's a very soft
thing for someone; but must not the
political machinery of Governor
Deneen be well creased?
Have you ever noticed the prompt
ness with which the Chicago board
Of trade samplers bring in their re-
samples? The rule is, of course, that
they must be on board before 100
o'clock in the morning; but the states
samples, how about them? They are
allowed TO drag along from 800 in
the morning until 100 O'Clock in the
afternoon. Can you comprehend the
amount of time lost by the hundreds
of traders that have to wait until
the last basket is up?
Have you noticed of late, how the
grain, especially the oats, is being
graded? The state of Illinois produces
the best and largest kernels in the
world; but the state inspection takes
no notice of that fact whatever AS
soon as the grain shows up a trifie
stained, ii is promptly Telegated to
the third or fourth grade. Why!
Because it comes from the farmer
or the poor country shipper; but let
the elevator trust load car or boat
will small dirty, cheap Iowa or Min
nesota oats, and see how promptly il
will be graded standard oats. Did you
! ever notice how the elevator trust
| buys all cheap, no grade oats, sends il
| to their private elevators, unloadE
/ and reloads it the next day? This is
done so they may be graded as stand
ard oats.
Now, this is not fair to the Illinois
| farmer and is an imposition on the
/ intelligent grain dealers in the state
| The hard working Illinois farmer, be
| cause the state inspector does no
honesty grade his product, is miser
| ably cheated, to the advantage of the
elevator trust who makes the money
( Why does Governor Deneen prefer the
| elevator trust to the Illinois farmer
The proper time for protesting
against this kind of treatment is Nov

to Receive Message.
LAST WORD TO WORKERS
Forty-two States Have Indicated In.
tentlon Of Observing the
Occasion.

Especial Correspondence OF The Argus)
New York. Oct l9.-The most dis
tinctive and inspiring feature Of the
presidential campaign Of 1912 will be
the nationwide celebration Of Wilson
and Marshall day on the afternoon Of
Saturday. Nov. 2, when oval demo
Gratis in every city, town and hamlet
will assemble TO listen 10 the reading
OF an original and special message
from Governor Woodrow Wilson.
What this message will be no one
knows, except that II is 10 carry 10
the country a final word from he
democratic leader. and will give the
voters OF the nation something 10
think about before they 20 TO the polls
three days later.
The idea OF the Wilson and Mar
shall day originated with William G.
McAdoo, vice chairman, and Josephus
Daniels, chairman OF the publicity
committee of the national, democratic
committee. and in the first announce
ment sent out II was suggested that
Oct. 81 would be designated as the day
for the national celebration. For
various reasons il was subsequently
decided 20 hold the &C. ebration at a
later date, and last night the follow.
ing telegram was sent by Mr.. McAdoo
TO every national committeeman and
state chairman in the union:
DATE CHANGED.
Referring TO my previous telegram
about Wilson day, the democratic ma.
tional committee has decided 10 des
ignate Nov instead OF Oct 81 as
Wilson and Marshall day. and 10 re
quest the democratic organization in
each state Of the union TO hold as
many meetings as possible I'm each
state on the afternoon and evening Of
that day, at which an original anC
special message from our great leader
Governor Woodrow Wilson. will b,
read. All arrangements without you
states are left entirely in hands o
state committee. National committee
men are requested TO cooperate witt
state chairmen. Whatever reguia
meetings you are arranging for ai
ternoon and night OF Nov. shout
proceed Just the same. and Governor
Wilson's message can be read at sucl
meetings. but the committee suggests
that you have the democrats assemb.,

(5Y ARTHUR 3. KROcK.)
d Columbus, Ohio, Oct 20.-During
the month that has elapsed since my
last visit to Ohio. the situation, from
a democratic standpoint, has not
changed All unprecedented and well
informed men here bring out the Ohio
blue book to prove conclusively that
Woodrow Wilson Will secure the "a
electoral votes of President Tafts
own state.
In this book are presented unan-
swerable figures to show that, If vii,
son holds the Bryan vote OF 1908, he
will sweep Ohio, the size of his plur-
ality depending merely on whether
the republicans come out and vote.
and IL they do come out, how closly
they split their support between Taft
and the third term aspirant. The
democratic nominee may have 100000
plurality, he may have 100000. he may
have almost anything higher or low
er. But that he will have a plurality
is generally conceded in Ohio today
! by all who have knowledge OF the
facts. This means that the Buckeye
state, the stronghold of republicanism,
the mother of presidents, is not even
in the doubtful class this year.
In the republican primaries before
the Chicago convention there was a
/ great stay-atrhome vote. These re-
/ publicans were Disguised both with
Taft and with Roosevelt. Now. the
effort to the republican managers is
to get out these voters TO the end that
| the president may run second in his
own state. They do not want the re-
! publican organization swallowed up
/ by the bull moosers, as II probably
would be IL Roosevelt were to get
more votes in Ohio than President
Taft. The republican stay-at-home
vote is what the Taft men fear this
year. AS for the Roosevelt followers
they are enthusiasts here as else
! where; they will come out anyway,
billiards will not keep a thousand OF
them at home. They may have to
come on crutches and in carryalls, but
they will come. 1t is easy to under
stand why there is no such enthusiasm
for Taft in his native state.
There will probably be 100000
votes cast IL Ohio this year (the Taft
men hope so and the democrats be-
; lieve so). Bryan polled $4,000 in
1908, and Taft $4,000, a majority OF
10000. If Wilson can poll 100000
votes this year-and there are no
surface reasons why he cannotSthat
will leave 100000 to be divided among
four other candidates-Taft, Roose-
welt, Debs and Chain. The probable
tiles are that Taft and Roosevelt will
run reasonably close and will poll
about 500, 900 votes between them. OF
this number neither will have 100000
which, according to all indications,
, will be the minimum of the democratic
, strength.
The straw ballots have shown that
Debs will have more votes In Ohio
| than ever before, perhaps $4,000 In
all. That accounts for all but 10000,
, Of which the prohibitionists will get
about 5000. All of this goes to show
that the democrats need only to get
| out their vote of 1908 in order to car
| ry the state and the probabilities are
that they will get considerably larg-
/ er vote than they did four years ago,

>xubI, WAS BROKEN by BRICK.
Assailant of Young Man Of Seneca
@ Still at Large.

Seneca, Jan. 29.--Leland Crooks,
y0ung saw mill laborer, living near
Scpeca, was hit on the head Satur-
( day night with brick thrown by
nngto named Buster" Harris, which
~ getured his skull. Crooks's condi-
.ttonEis serious. although it Is thought
tha9he is slightly better to-day. the
negro escaped and is still at large.
Crooks was carried to a drug store,
who're medical aid was secured. 1t
waa found that the frontal bone had
been hit by the brick, causing frac-
,hlre about two inches and leaving
0cnt an inch deep.
r'rom what can be learned, Crooks
and a companion named White were
liking along the west end Of Main
eet, when Harris collided with
White. A row followed between him
ana White. and the negro, it seems,
piaked up brick with the threat that
- would break his (White's) head.
After hitting Crooks, the missile
13unded off, breaking large plate
CLASS window. Before those who wit
messed the assault could recover from
,hor surprise the negro had taken
fNGht and they were unable to over
take him. He was located early
&nnday morning by the police, and
40 officers went to arrest him. He
jnmped from q window, clad only In
q autt Of underwear, and after fight
with the officers again escaped and
has not been captured. There Is no
nrDsual excitement over the deed.

BURIAL POLICE FOR OCONEE {?

House Bill No. $50 has been intro
duccd in the House Of Representa-
tiyes and received its first reading on
January 18TH.
The provisions Of tho bill are
lengthy, and we cannot reproduce
them here in full. The main fea-
lures, however. are the provision for
the appointment Of 1.-TWO able-bodied
men Of good habits" and
these men shall be known as county
provided for upon tho recommends
ton of the legislative delegation and
the sheriff OF Oconee. and the duties
enumerated in the bill constitute the
proposed new officers practically dep
uty Sheriffs. They are to work un-
der and report to tho sheriff, and
their duties are to enforce all crimi-
nal laws OF the State Of South Caro-
lima, patrolling the county in gene
raj. In the event Of the passage of
the bill to Provide Policemen for
Oconee County" tho position Of con-
stable under the Carey-Cothran law
will be abolished. The salary named
in the new bill Is 5000 for each of
two policemen, per annum, payable
monthly by the county treasurer OF
Oconee upon warrants by the super
visor. Each policeman is to furnish
himself with horse and two uni

1t is a hard matter to say just

general that the service contemplate
ed would prove invaluable to the
county as WnOle II the duties I'M

Our Representatives are probably
sufficiently familiar with conditions
existing in the country as to be the
best judges Of the wisdom OF passing
the bill. There is SO much to COM
mend it-so much opportunity for
efhcicnt work along the lines laid
down for the operations OF the pro

the only objection we see to the pro-
posed measure is the weighty Dues

chosen TO carry out the provisions Of
tho proposed law.
If our Representatives have sound
ed the people OF tho county, and have
found that conditions are such as to
warrant the measure that is pr0pos-

people Of the rural districts are cnti-
