approved During the Campaign.
Governor Blease issued the follow
ing statement Thursday:
Columbia, S. c.. August 29th, 1912.
To the Democratic Voters of South
Carolina:
On Tuesday, the Demcratc of this
State decided in behalf of an honest
clean campaign.
Two years before, in an interview
(on September 14th), speaking of the
primary election in the race for gov
ernor, Senator B. r. Tillman said:
This is a remarkable illustratiin of
what little influence our newspapers
have They have been so unfair and
unjust that they are deserted by the
people"
What he said then has been more
than emphasized in this election, but
l do not care to re-hash the bitterness
and the filth which South Carolina has
passed through for the past three
months, and / hope that it may be
possible for me to forget and to for
give. God, in His all-wise Providence.
has protected me, and though the
voice of the people, which is the voice
of God, has given me the greatest
victory ever known in the world.
1t would be impossible for human
tongue to speak or hand to write what
| feel and what would love to saw to
my friends in South Carolna-to say
that l thank them is indeed so little
and insignificant that / feel ashamed
almost to use that word. I thank
them and from the bottom of my heart
l say, praise God from whom all bles-
sings flow and may His choisest bles-
sings rest upon my friends and our
proud commonwealth; that He may
give to me the power and wisdom
to sedVe my State and my people bet
ter than | have ever served them be-
fore, and to serve them with a heart
devoted to the cause of humanity and
Christianity. My friends, / thank you
may God bless you, and If / can ever
serve you, command, and / will obey.
And, to the many hundreds of good
ladies', who have added their words of
encouragement and their prayers for
success, l say to them, | thank you
and may Gods richest blessings ever
rest upon you.
If have said one word or done one
single thing which you disapprove of. /
beg your forgiveness and that you re-
member the circumstances under
which l labored were most trying.

WILSON CAMPAIGN FUND.
with the state Campaign mt an End
the Wilson Fund Should Begin to
"LOOk TD,o

With the close of the State cam
paign, it seems that now the attcn-
ton of the people should be directed
to the national campaign. A very
handsime subscription was collected
for the Wilson-Marshall fund several
weeks ago by individual parties in
the city. Although this sum was a
fairly large one, there are many who
did not subscribe to it. The Advcr-
tiser started subscription list scv-
eral weeks ago. but the state cam
paign was so enggrossing that Wilson
and Marshall were forced to the back
ground. Now that this state cam
paign is apparently over, this Wilson
campaign fund should begin to climb
agan. There are many others in
the city who ought to contribute. The
Advertiser would be glad to receive
funds from either place. The total
on hand now is $500. Let the money
begin to flow.

VACATION DAYS
ARE NEARING END
City Schools to Open on September
10th. Mr.. Jones to be at Building
Few Days Before.

16th. Mr.. Jones to be mt Building
Few Days Before.
School days are fast approaching.
The period Of rest and recreation for
the young folks will end after next
week. Supt Jones was in the CITY
several days last week making prep
arations for the opening of school
on Monday, Sept. 10th. He will be at
the building Thursday and Friday of
the week before, where he expects to
see all new scholars and those schol-
ars who failed to meet the require
ments during the past session. All
such are requested to be at the school
building to see him during the two
days.
Mr.. Jones states that he has been
working diligently upon the courses
of study and that several long felt
changes will be made. 1t will be
particularly gratifying to those who
wish to see the school put upon the
very highest plane, to know that a
course of German has been introduced
into the high school. 1t is a matter
or common knowledge that the graded
and high schools of this state do not
prepare the students to enter upon
full courses in the Freshman classes
of the higher institutions of learning.
There Is a small breech between the
high schools and the colleges that
TENDS to place great many students
at disadvantage when they enter
college. This breech is being filled
up by many schools and the intro
duction of German in the Laurens
school is a step in this direction.
Mr.. Jones announces that Miss An
nette Stover, a raduate of Winthrop
college and teacher with high rec
omendations, has been secured to
NIL the vacancy made by the rcsigna-
tion of Miss Laura Cromer. Miss
Cromer will pesue further studies in
art in New York city. The resignation
was accepted with regret here as
she was very popular with patrons.
pupils and teachers alike and took
the greatest interest in he individual
work and the work of the school.
With the exception OF Miss Cromer
and Mr.. Barton, pricipal of the high
school, the faculty will be the same
as that of last year. 1t will be re-
membercd tht at the close of the ses-
sion in June, Mr., Jones made point
to state that the year just past had
been one particularly noted for the
splendid cooperation on the part of
the pupils and teachers with the
superintendent and that the best of
work had been done and that the
kindcst of feeling existed as a result
of it. This is matter of the pa
irons of the school are doubtless proud
of. because it denotes progress. Mr..
Jones is expecting the same spirit to
prevail this year

THE FIRST COTTON BALE .

MIR. w. III. Hamilton, Who Also
Brought in the First Cotton Bloom.
Sold the First Laurcns County Cot
ton Saturday.
MIR. w. II. Hamilton of the EXON
section brought the first bale of cot
ton to the Laurens Market. 1t weigh
ed 525 pounds. The market price now
is about IL cents. Mr.. Hamilton. il
VIII be remembered, also brought the
first open boil to The Advertiser office
on the Both of July. The bale of cot
ton was full sized and of good fibre.
MI X. G. Franks bought it for Messrs.
Cooper & Griffin, of Greenville, pay-
ing 13 cents per pound for it. The
seed and lent brought a total of SIG. 90.
Though it is quite natural for cotton
that produces ear.y bolls to produce
an early bale, 1t is very seldom that
the finder of the first boil brings in
the first bale. So it is quite a dis
tinction for Mr.. Hamilton to win this
double honor.
The first bale brought in last year
was by MIR. u. r. Trayhnam on the
18th of August. On that same day
Mr.. j. w. A. Boyd brought in two
bales All of this brought around 12
cents, The first bale the year be-
fore 1910 brought in by Mr.. It. L.

lent and seed bringing total of $1OO

that he had sent out $4,000 tickets
to the various counties. After some

about the domestic unhappiness of an

woman had much money, although no
beauty. Naturally. after the wedding
ceremony and the acquisition of the
brides financial resources. the hus-
band was never very attentive to her
Another member Of the company in
which the couple were appearing was,
however, far more appreciative of the
lady's charms. and proceeded to make
love to her in an ardent but stealthy
manner. The grand finale came one
evening when the actor discovered
the other man kissing his wife. The
fond lover stood petritied with fear,
and expected to be shot down the
next moment.
No such thing happened. The out
ragged husband only lifted his hands
toward the ceiling with gesture Of
intense surprise, and exclaimed:

LANDS USUALLY
NEEDING LIME
When Soil Is Sour It VIII Turn
Blue Litnus Paper Placed
An Contact with
It Red.

(By DR. w. p. BROOKS. Massachusetts,
Those soils on which. when seed
ed, timothy and clovers fail, and
where sorrel comes in largely togeth-
er with red top, usually need lining.
1t should be pointed out, however,
that the presence of sorrel is not a
proof that lime is needed. This weed
will flourish even in soils which have
been heavily lined; but on such soils
the grasses and clovers are likely to
crowd it out. while on soils which are
in need of lime, they are unable to do
so.
When soil is sour 1t will turn blue
litmus paper placed in contact with
1t red. To carry out the test, make
about tablespoonful of the soil into
thin mud with pure water and after
It has stood for short time lay a
