NO PRIMARY AT WOODRUFF.
Senator Tillman Will Not Oppose
Congressman JOhnsOn's Choice.

Washington, July Ex-senator Till
son that he (Tillman) will no longer
insist on a primary for the selection
of postmaster at Woodruff, and will
not oppose the nomination of Bruce
Arnold, whom Mr.. Johnson has de-
cided to recommend.
Several weeks ago Mr.. Johnson
announced that Mr. Arnold would have
his recommendation which is prac-
tically equivalent to nomination
Some of the other candidates for the
place brought pressure to bear on
Senator Tillman and the latter ask
ed Mr.. Johnson to have the matter
decided by a primary. Mr.. Johnson,
of course. could not consent to do
this, which left the matter OF the pri-
mary up to Senator Tilman. The
senator has since made some inquiry
into the situation and has decided that
in all probability the primary would
not change matters and has therefore
decided not TO insist upon it, aud not
to oppose the nomination OF Mr.
Arnold
primary was ordered at Jones'
Vile upon Senator Tinmans sug-
gcsiion, and Capt Scott. who had

Freak Ear of Corn.

Mr.. l.. II. Willis, of Gray Court, has
sent to The Advertiser freak (,r
of corn that would puzzle thetauthoi l.
ties even at Clemson college. The
ear is in reality about thirty-fve ears
projecting from one stem. though none
of the small shoots are fully developed
or would likely have been fully de-
veloDed. The little shoots curl in a
downward direction, giving the appear
ance of an ostrich plume on ladies'
hats. Mr. Willis states that he has
about eight acres planted in corn and
that as "a rule the crop promises to be
very good.

City for the Purpose of Studying

Rapidly.
Washington, July Ex-senator Till
man and Congressman Johnson talked
with Surgeon General Blue of the
public health service yesterday on the
pellagra situation at Spartanburg.
Today General Blue sent the following
letter 10 Senator Tiiiman:
Washington, D. c., July 16, 1913.
my Dear Senator:
"In view of the urgent character
OF the outbreak of pellagra at Spar
tanbuFg, s. c., the necessity of advis-
Ing in respect to the prevention and
treatment Of the disease and the op-
portunity thus afforded to secure
patients for purposes of study in the
marine hospitals being used for pei
lagra investigations. it is expected
that receiving station or dispensary
VIII be established at Spartanburg
This dispensary will be maintained
for some time and will be in charge
of an experienced officer. The dis
pensary will be provided with neces-
sary Facilities for such care as Is rem
dered at our patient dispensaries.
Respectfully,
Rupert Blue,
Surgeon General"
\ This means that the publis health
service Of the national government
Will establish dispensary at Spar
tanburg for the purposes indicated
above. Senator Tillman believes that
this dispensary will relieve the situa-
tion at Spartanburg in some degree,
because all patients sick with pella-
gra will be sent at government ex-
pense, If they desire to go, to the hos
pital in Savannah for treatment. This
may result ultimately in the national
government being asked to establish
permanent hospital for the treat
ment OF pellagra and tuberculosis at
Spartanburg or some other town in
that vicinity.
Because most of the pellagra in
South Carolina is found among the
mill people, there are more cases in
Congressman Johnson's district than
In all the balance of the State. Con-
gressman Johnson has been very ac-
tive in this matter and his position on
the committee on appropriations OF
the house makes him potent factor
in getting the national government
to aid these people.-Greenvill News

his character He mentioned Abra-

character would live for genera

Dr.. Wilson thought that the
great men had not only left us
work to complete, but had, also,
left the secret of their greatness.
Sacrifice" he said, has been the
characteristic of these men; sacrifice
and faith go hand in hand"
IF a man does not have faith
why should he sacrifce?" he asked.

patience, the race that is o be-
