Jackson Holds Batting Record

There continues to be nothing
to the race in the American
league for batting honors save
Joe Jackson. This boy leads in
just about every other end of
the game as we'll as the individual
hitting and unless he suffers a
slump or Cobb begins that ex-
pected squirt there is nothing to
it but a Jackson year.
Through the games on July 16
Jackson had an average of 412.
This included in 81 games 2S9
at bats, sc runs and 119 hits for
total of 1876 bases. This is
more hits and total of more
bags than any other American
Lacquer and at the present clip
jackson will improve upon these
figures within short time.

Extending the Parcel Post.
Charlotte Chronicle. !


The postoffice department has
begun to make good it's promise
to extend the parcel post service.
This service has proven popular
apd successful even beyond the
hopes of its advocates and the
announcement from Postmaster
General Burleson that the weight
limit will be increased to 20
pounds and the rates reduced
within the first two zones will be
heartily welcomed by merchants
and the people generally. And
while these charges are to apply
now, after August Is, only to
the first and second zones, they
are significant because they mark
the beginning of an extension of
the service in it's entirety.
1t is my expectation and be-
lief, said Postmaster General
Burleson, that eventually-and
it may be Is or 20 years-the
postal service will handle prac-
tically all of the small package
transportation business in the
United States. The maximum
weight limit, extended now from
III to 20 pounds, | expect to see
increased TO 100 pounds and ex-
perience may demonstrate the
practicability of handling the
parcel business at even lower
rates than we now propose"

TWO FARMERS INSTITUTES
FOR COUNTY OF YORK

Prof. w. w. Long, State agent
IN charge of farm demonstration
work, announces that there will
be no state farmers institute at
Clemson college this year, and
the county Institutes will be
greatly changed in form and
scope. The kitchen at Clemson
is undergoing needed repairs
and enlargement, and that is one
reason that there will! be no
farmers institute at the COLLEGE
The demonstration work in
the State has been divided into
three districts for the summer
institute work, and these insti-
tutes will not be held at the
court houses, but on the farms
where the demonstration work
is In progress.
You will notice. saws Mr.
Long, that wherever we could
we are holding these Institutes
on some farm. This is the first
time In the history of this work
that Institutes have been taken
to the very door of the farmer
There are several good reasons
for doing this. First, we can
utilize the farm animals in DEM
onstrating our talk on live stock
We can also utilize the growing
field crops to demonstrate our
field crop talks. Second. the
farmers that attend these meet
lngs Will be men who are deeply
interested and are seeking infor-
nation and they will not be dis
tracted by attractions usually
found in the towns. These in
stltutes are going to be made as
practical as possible.
w. H. Barton, of Simpsonville
will be in charge of the Pied
mont district Institutes, and will
be assisted by }. ID. w. Watts
who will talk on live stock, and
w. Z. Stewart, who will discuss
cover crops. Mr.. Barton's sub
Ject is soil building and he is un-
eXcelled in this.
Two faamers' institutes are 10
be held in York county, the first
on w. T. Wilkerson's farm on
Monday, July %, and the second
on Tuesday, July %, on the farm
of DR.. T N. Dulun.

PRIMARY ELECTION MlsdIVIEGs

y City Clerk David Kalauokalani has some mis-
givings i'm regard to the new direct primary law.
He fears that the county committee, by throwing
its weight to one favored candidate in the pri-
mary election may insure his nomination at the
expense of the others
Precisely this doubt has been expressed
Wherever the direct primary law has been put in
force, but the plan has, so far as can be learned,
failed in every instance. That the clique fails
intimately to elect its man, though it may help
his nomination. Whenever committees have al
lowed factionalism in the primagx elections, they
have aroused such resentment among the voters
that when the regular election came along, their
candidates we're badly dumped
AS la matter of party protection, the county
committees are forced to take neutral stand be-
tween candidates for their own party in the pri-
mary election. The county committee, as soon
as it begins to play fayortes, loses the control
of the precinct clubs" to which Mr.. Kalauokalani
refers, Just as the Republican campaign commit
tee lost control of the Kaimuki section last fall
when Kaimuki candidate was forced off the
convention slate. 49,
The primary law is an experiment here, and
undoubtedly defects will be found. 1t has not
been the experience of other communities, how
ever, that the law can be manipulated in the man
ner feared by the city clerk.

DEMOCRATS ON GUARD

The most salient fact in connection with the
news that a mainlander is the presidents choice
for d. S. district attorney here is the fact that
Democratic disputes and chickering's are likely to
deprive Hawaii Of one element of self-goyern-
ment
Hawaii is amply able to fill every office in the
territory, federal, territorial or municipal, with
good men The material is here
A bitter fractional dispute between rival Bour-
bon forces, each intent on securing the naming
of its choice for governor has evidently resulted
in Wilson's decision to name a man identified
with none of the factions, an outsider of whose
qualifications Hawaii knows absolutely nothing.
James l.. Coke has received Reimbursement OF
practically every attorney and law firm in the
territory and the question of his fitness has had
nothing to do with the presidents decision, SO
far as is known here However, he was sup
porter of Watson for governor, and the McCand-
lessites in.control Of the territorial committee,
led by the nationalI committeeman, engineered
the deal for the mainland appointment.
1t is probable thar Wilson expects to kill TIVE
birds with one stone BY naming Col Ball. of Mis-
souri,. He has, il is authoritatiyely reported, de
cided to nominate Watson for governor. BY
refusing to appoint Coke as federal attorney and
giving the patronage to Missouri, he can pay q
political debt for Champ Clark and simulta
neously throw sophie the McCandless element
! Of the local Democratic party
The situation is sufficient commentary on the

short time they have had to handle affairs undel
