(Speclal Dispatch to The Journal.)
COLUMBIA. s. c.. Aug. 2s.-Tuesday
the voters OF South Carolina will de-
eide the controversy as to who shall be
governor OF South Carolina for the next
two years. Not since the days of re-
construction, when Gen Wade Hampton
and his followers redeemed South Caro-
lima from the Republican negro misrule
have the people been so aroused over a
gubernatorial election. The whole state
is wrought up to a high pitch Of ten
sion and everything is at a standstin
awaiting the decision at the ballot box.
The spectacular and bitter campaign
had scarcely closed and the people had
barely had time to draw their breath
when Senator B. r. Tillman broke his
silence and his neutrality and declared
for Judge Jones, and in a passionate ap-
peal called on South Carolina TO elect
Judge Jones governor.
The state has been disgraced in the
eyes OF the whole world, and It's good
name made a by-word. and nobody can
cleanse it and redeem it excep4 its own
people. l implore the people to take
care OF the states good name next Tues
day. said Senator TilEman in issuing his
statement. which caused political SEN
sation and started what many believe to
be stampede for Jones. Senator Till
man declared that Blease was morally
unit to be governor, and said that IL re-
elected he would make South Carolina
the worst governor since the days of
the reconstruction.
TILLMAN IS BQMBsHELL.
The appeal of Senator Tilman was
bombshell In the BIease camp and many
Biease supporters are now ready to ad-
init that Blease will be beaten. They
are bitter against Tillman and declare
that they win defeat him for what-they
term his ''meddling." Tillman is opposed
for reelection by w. Jasper Talbert, a
former congressman, and N. b. Dial.
banker and cotton mill man. However.
many of the hitherto bitter anti-Tillman-
ties have declared their intention &c
vote for his reelection since he came
out for Judge Jones and Mr.. TiIlman has
always been able to carry the farmer
vote practically solid. It is therefore
reasonable TO surmise that he will de

If the house is of a leanto pattern

exception being in houses with q wide

to let the bad air out.
A draft we must not forget, is caus-
ed By having two windows or outlets OF
some sort directly opposite to each 9TH

When the front is more OF less open
to the elements, see that the back and
sides have no holes or crevices for the
wind to blow through. In summer give
the fowls ample ventilation: In winter

the fowls to breathe pure air.

frequently poultry keepers complain
bitterly of the failure of their fowls
to show profit, when the whole fault
lies in defective housing.
Poultry lead an entirely artificial life
when they live penned in a run, or
even when at liberty and provided with
a sleeping house-that is to say they
have their food provided them and do
not sleep In the trees, as their natural
instinct would teach them.
1t is simply the difference between
sleeping in a house and sleeping in
trees that upsets them. When they
do the latter, they may not lay wen
but they keep their health. More than
half the diseases modern fowls suffer
are caused primarily by this defective
housing.
The chief requisites OF a house are
that 1t should be weather-proof. 81
