Plum Branch, South Carolina, May
20th, 1912.-Gentlemen: The citi-
Zens Of Plum Branch Town
ship or District turned out in full
force last Saturday to elect school
trustees for the next two years, and
elected B. d. Kitchings, w r.. Free
land and j. w. Miller, and under the
management Of these men we expect
to have a school equal to any, if not
the best Of it's kind, in the county.
At the winding up it led little
off into politics. We have in our
county two able men and good citi-
zens as any In the State, both run
ming for the same Office. and the
citizens Of this community believe
they have right to run for the
same, or any other Office that they
may choose, and, therefore, the fol-
lowing resolution was passed by
solid vote:

to- get to the Convention on account
OF rain, high water, bad roads and
other unavoidable causes, said Con-
venton voted down motion to
elect him as a delegate to the State

present voted solidly for Senator
Tillman as a delegate to the State
effort on their part to defeat Sen

fore be 1t resolved:
/. That we hereby resent this un-
fair and uncalled for treatment Of
Col. Talbert, and hereby endorse his
candidacy for election to the United

Good roads was next discussed by
him, and he is in favor Of State and

CONTRACTS FOR SIX
 NEW DESTROYERS
Seven Bidders Will Get POr- tiOns of Work on
 Vessels

Washington, November 1S-Contracts for the construction of six new torpedo boat destroyers, bids on which were opened at the navy department today, probably will be divided among several of the seven bidders. No company of- fered to build all of the destroyers and the Cramp company of Philadelphia. whose bid of sSf6,O00 each for three yes sells was the lowest on the department g designs, was the only builder to seek con tracts for more than two.
 The Cramp company also submitted the lowest bid for the two boats, sS55, 900 each, and the Fore River Shipbuilding com pany of Quincy, Mass. submitted the lowest for a single contract under de- partment plans, ss5i,5OO. The Bath Iron Works offered to build single vessel for Ss10,0O0 on the plans of two destroyers now under construction at it's plant, but asked Ss62, 900 for one on the department $ designs.
 These destroyers may be constructed with turbine primary engines for high speeds with reciprocating engine attach ments for low cruising speeds, or may use reduction gear between the high speed turbin@ and the propellers when the vessel is cruising. Except in the case of the collier Neptune, now being tried out these combinations are unknown in American naval construction.
