We print to-day how the guberna-
torial vote stood two years ago, after
the balloting. AS will be seen from
comparison of the facts Blease car
ried twenty-seven counties, while

Spartanburg counties, all giving him
over six hundred leads. For Jones,
Charleston, Orangeburg and Edgfeld

Chester county gave both Blease
and Jones the same number. In all
figures above Duncan's vote is not
counted in at all, and the majorities
are simply those against the other
principal contestant. The exact vote
by counties was as follows:

ART OF BOMB DROPPING.
How a Zeppelin Dirigible Handles
Death Shells Aloft.

How a Zeppelin airship drops
bombs is thus described by refu-
gee from Belgium: THE diriglble
hoyers over it's objective at an alti-
tude out of the range of the enemy's
guns and lowers a steel cage attach
ed to asteel wire rope 1000 or 5000
feet long. This cage carried one
man whose duty it is to throw down
the bombs. The cage is sufficiently
strong to make rifle fire against it in
effective and because of its small
size and the fact that it is kept con-
stantly in motion it is very difficult
for heavy guns to hit it,

lateral, on which a certain percentage
OF the value could be demanded of
the national banks If the law were
now in effect. this would enable far
mers to hold their cotton, without
other necessary provisions.
Another bill which Senator Smith
fathered is to regulate cotton ex-
charges, and compel cotton brokers
10 fill contracts with grades "con-
tracted' for. without the alternative
OF substituting other grades, or t:'a
privilege OF :ns.king up the differe ice
in rc;cc adjustment.
Two other resolutions in far ners'
interests, originated by Senator
Smith. were to have the cotton tie
and bagging and the nitrate and am
moniate trusts investigated. In coz
sequence of the former. the cos; OF
bagging and ties has been cut par
tically in two. Nitrate OF soda was
reduced s13 a tor within eight weeks
after the investigation began.

THANKFUL FOR HIS VOTE
FOR THE FARMERS.
Senator Says He Believes Facticnal-
ism Does Not Stand a Ghost Of
Show Any Longer.

In an interview with Senator
E. D. Smith at Bishopville Thursday
Were he addressed about five hum
d-ed farmers in the Court House. and
urged them to orsanize and get ready
to hold their cotton, he sal! regard.
ing the recent &c, ton, in which it
appears that he S returnel to the
United States Senate by handsome
| majority, that he would wait until
the official count and announcement
to make full statement, but that he
did not wish at this time to thank
the people of he State generally who
suppored him for reelection, and
especially the farmers of the State
for their support.
Mr.. Smith said that he has talked
and planned and dreamed for the
farmers of South Carolina and the
South, and has endeavored to in
every way look after and protect
them, and that he is deeply grateful
to them for the confidence displayed
by their returning him to represent
them in the Senate.
He said that as his opponents
charge that he has done nothing but
talk cotton and work for cotton for
the FIVE and one-half years he had
been in the Senate, he pleads guilty
to the charge and serves notice now
that he is going back to do just as
he has always done, and that having
more experience than during his first
term, expects to be able to accom-
plish more for the farmers, and thus
for the whole people Of the State and
the South.
He said that cotton being the basis
of their wealth, that which raised
the price of cotton and raised the
standard of living of the Southern
people as a whole would benefit not
only the farmers of South Carolina
and of the South, but that it would
benefit the whole nation, in that the
uOllcy COWiuS llOul DoAN w Po'
for cotton kept the balance of trade
in our favor.
The senator declared that this is
not Smiths victory, but the farmers
victory, and that he believed this will
demonstrate to the people generally,
and to politicians in particular, that
factionalism does not stand a ghost
of a show any longer, especially the
factionalism that depends upon the
support of farmers to keep going. He
said that by this election the farmers,
all of them. rich and poor, high and
low, had served notice to all selfish
and scheming politicians that they
were no longer a bunch Of "rubes"
to be caught by the nose and led to
any trough that suited the politician
and made to drink whether they
wanted to or not.
He stated that the farmers, who
all had agreed for many years are
the foundation and backbone Of the
nation. have arisen and asserted that
they have manhood enough to pre-
scribe for themselves and take their
own medicine and not the concoc-
tions Of some schemer. He believes
that factionalism is dead forever in
South Carolina.

TO TURN THEM LOOSE.
Mexicans Interned at Fort Bliss Are
Soon to be Released.

Negotiations are about completed
for the release of the 5000 Megi-
can soldiers and camp-followers who
for many months have been interned
at Forts Wingate, New Mexiso, and
Rosecrans. Provisional President
Carranza has guaranteed the refugees
safety, and it is expected in a few
davs American soil will be rid of
these visitors, whose presence has
cost something like $4,000 a day.
Most of the refugees are former
Federal soldiers, who, with camp
followers, crossed over in Texas after
Gen. Villas victory at Ojinaga. More
than 5000 Of these first were intern
ed at Fort Bliss, Texas.

WILL HELP MANNING
CLNKSCALES READY TO PUT HIS
SHOULDER TO WHEEL.
Finds No Sting in Defeat-Is Ready
to Talk Compulsory Education
Whenever Opportunity Offers.

John G. Clinkscales put his first
official utterance since the campaign
in the form of the following letter
to the editor Of the Spartanburg Her
aid:
Editor of The Herald:
Permit me to speak a few words
to the Democratic voters of South
Carolina. First, wish to thank you,
my dear sir, and your entire staff for
that splendid support and perfectly
square deal you gave me during the
strenuous campaign just ended. Your
fidelity to me and to the cause
represented was a challenge to the
best that was in me. Be assured that
I am profoundly grateful. And to
tn e13, 200 fellow citizens. who stood
by me and fought with me to the
last ditch, know not how to express
my appreciation. God bless them
every one. go down in defeat, but
the principles for which they and I
fought can never die.
find no sting in this defeat. At
the bar of my own conscience I stand
acquitted Of any unmanly word OF
deed during the whole campaign; and
to-day I feel stronger for the further
prosecution Of the fight for the chill
dren OF my beloved State. In the
language of Paul Jones, eve have
just begun to fight" Whatever
powers I have I reconsecrate and re-
dedicate to-day to the neglected boys
and girls of South Carolina. With
me it's not a question of political Of
fee, but the question Of a square
deal to the thousands Of innocent
children whose cry for light shall yet
be heard.
To the thousands of friends, who
believe in me and who believe in the
righteousness of the cause for which
I fought, but allowed themselves to
be stampeded at the critical moment,
I wish to say that have nothing but
the kindiest feeling. We disagreed
in judgment, but I give them full
credit for being just as patriotic as
I claim to be. I have for many OF
them the deepest affection and shall
endeavor to prove myself worthy OF
the confidence many of them assured
me they had in me and the cause |
represented.
The people Of my city and county
could not be shaken from me. They
who know me best followed me to the
last ditch and went in with me. God
bless them Here language fails me
to express my thought and feelings.
shall show them.
And now. Mr.. Editor, I'm not
sulker or gutter. I am ready to put
my shoulder to the wheel and help
roll up a big majority for Cooper or
Manning. They are both my friends.
At this writing it is not known
whether Cooper or Manning will be
in the second race with Richards.
After rest of two days, shall be
ready to talk compulsory education
wherever and whenever opportunity
offers. With full confidence in the
integrity of the people of my native
State, and unshaken faith in the ulti-
mate triumph of the cause for which
I fight and to which I have re6edi-
Gated all my powers, beg to remain
Sincerely yours,

TO HAVE PLENTY CASH
McADOO SAYS COOPERATION
WILL RELIEVE STRAIN.
Receipts for Warehouse Cotton Will
be Accepted-Bales Must be Prop
erly Insured.

Notes with maturity of not long
er than four months, secured by
warehouse receipts for cotton or
tobacco, will be accepted by the
Treasury department from national
banks as basis for the issue Of addi-
tional currency which may be used
to help farmers pick and market their
cotton and tobacco crops.
These notes, according to an an
nouncement from the department
Thursday night, will be accepted at
lis per ceAt. of their face value and
must be presented through currency
associations provided under the Al
drich-Vreeland law. In making this
announcement Secretary McAdoo
said there is adequate power under
existing law to issue enough currency
through national banks to meet any
reasonable demand and reiterated
his statement that cit is not neces-
sary to extend the note issuing priyi-
lege to State banks" He pointed out
that he has power to issue one bill
lion dollars of additional currency if
required.
It was explained that since the law
gives discretion to the Secretary Of
the Treasury this currency will not
be issued unless officials are con-
vinced it is not to be used for specuA
lative purposes, but for harvesting
and carrying crops. Banks, it was
said, will be relied upon to see that
the warehouse receipts are accepted
which are issued by reliable ware
house men and that cotton and to-
bacco stored there are protected by
insurance and from injury by the
elements.
'The banks and the assets of all
banks belonging to the currency as
sociation," said Mr.. McAdoo, "will be
jointly liable to the United States for
the redemption of such additional
circulation and lien will extend to
and cover the assets of all banks be-
longing to the association and to the
securities deposited by the banks
with the association, pursuant to the
provisions Of law, but each bank COM
posing such association will be liable
only in proportion that its capital
and surplus to the aggregate capital
and surplus of all such banks.
"This plan ought to enable the
farmers to pick and market the cot
ton crop if the bankers, merchants,
and cotton manufacturers will CO.
operate with each other and with the
farmers and will avail themselves OF
the relief offered by the Treasury
within reasonable limits. Such CO.
operation is earnestly urged upon all
these interests. The farmer can not
expect as high price for cotton this
year because of the European war,
vet he should not be forced to sacri-
fee his crop.
"The banker and the merchant
should not exact excessive rates of
interest and the manufacturers
should replenish their stocks as much
as possible and pay reasonable prices
for the product. II this is done, and
it can be done if every one displays
a helpful spirit, normal condition
can be restored and there ought to
be no serious difficulty III taking care
of the cotton problem"
