governor will speak at Toxaway mill
tonight at z o'clock and at Anderson

member OF the Legislature from I'm

ability even in the most trying circum-

Mr.. Browning is man of the
keenest sense OF honor. OF the highest
integrity and Of comprehensive grasp
upon the conditions OF this state, and
his address this evening will be well
worth hearing. The limited time CIV

they should vote. We have our
choice and have a good reason for 1t,
but If any reader chooses different
man, he has our respect and best
wishes. We will not favor q solid

to be remembered is that we are all

we may fall out about the things tho

THINKING FOR THEMSELVES.

A noble cid Carolinian who was
about to leave the state he loved and
the people wEom he loved, man who
had received every honor that his
state cousd confer. man who fought
to uphold tie law. and In three wars
had shed his blood and had risked his
life on many OF his courtry's battle
helds. man who had nothing to ask
of the people, said with his face
turned to the setting sun. "The peo-
pie are right at heart. At times they
may be led Astray by faise Ideals anu
fictitious appeals. but four. times out
OF five they are right. and alway.
they are right when left to think for
themselves"
This was big and sound philoso-
ply. The peoples hearts are right
They want that which is good for
their homes, for their lovec ones. In
the election which we are facing next
Tuesday. we are willing to submit the
issues to the people. We believe that
they are thinking. There have been
few demonstrations of excitement.
There seems to be little definite idea
OF the sentimen. of the people, be-
cause the silent. honest. thinking ele-
ment. the farming class especially,
seems to be figuring the situation for
Itself and not being pulled around
by the nose by the leaders of any
clique or faction.
We believe that the people of the
state resent dictntion and the claim
that they are easily led around by the
nose. and It appears that the people
in this election are doing their own
seeing and observing and thinking,
Partisan appeals aud the harangue OF
the demagogue are not falling upon
willing ears.
The people realize that there is
such a thing as herding them and
riding them into offlce--and leaving
them hitched outside, The people are
not stirred now as .thoy have been al
times. They are in receptive. think

will command the highest market
price in competition with western pro-
ducts, and to finance by advances of
supplies and money those farmers who
curtail cotton acreage and substitute
food crops. The committee will take
up, also, the work of securing the &C

bankers to this end.
The Southeastern Food Crops con-
ference, besides favoring the reduc-
ton of cotton acreage by law and the
Lee County Plan" for legalizing all
agreements between the members Of
farmers associations, passed resolu-
tons asking the secretary of agricul-
ture to instruct all farm demonstration
agents in the cotton states to concen-
trate their work on other crops than
cotton, and asking the trustees of the
state college of agriculture to devote
all funds, including the $4,000 APP

Lever bill, at their disposal in 1915, to
organization instruction and direct
aid of farmers toward the production
of other crops than cotton.

AVERAGE AGE OF BRAVES and MACKMEN
SHOWS STALLING HAS YOUNGEST TEAM

NEW YORK, Oct. When the Phil
adelphia Athletics and the Boston
Braves go into action in the twenty
third series for the worlds champion
ship baseball honors, the diamond cam
jaign will be fought out by teams
which represent the old and new in ma
tional sport Although the average age
of the leading players of the two COM
binations is not widely separated, the
Athletics machine is so famous and it's
success so striking that it appears old
by comparison with the squad that
George Stallings whipped in shape in
midsummer, and thus won a pennant
for Boston. Taking twenty-odd play
ers of the two teams as basis, it will
be found the average age of the Ath-
letics is 26 IL years and the Braves "a
ga years.
While less than two years in aver
age separates the teams the extremes
are more marked in the Athletics than
the Braves, Plank, Bender, Coombs,
Gliding, Lapp and Thomas are past
thirty, but the majority of those who
will figure in the daily line up are sew
eral years under this age. The three
youngest players in the squad are the
pitchers, Bush, Pennock and Wyckoff
The American League Representatives
have the advantage in years of base
ball experience for the Philadelphia
club players average fully year more
fl time spent upon the professional than
the Boston players. The Braves aver
age is approximate. five years, with
Johnny Evers heading the list with
twelve years of play. The point of
professional service, Plank leads the
Athletics with thirteen years of base
ball play and experience at his back.

RAINY WEATHER PUTS
QU|ETUS ON COTTON
STOCKING ASSOCIATION
Especial to Times Recorder.)

ATLANTA, Ca, Oct. members of
women's clubs in Georgia and all over
the South are expected to follow the
example set by the womens club of
Decatur, Ala. The members there have
pledged themselves to wear white cot
ton stockings for one year to aid in
solving the cotton problem.
Atlanta cynics, however, are confident
that as long as the trolley car steps
are as high as at present the Atlanta
women will not give up their rainy
day silk hose, cotton or no cotton.

Bender is but one year behind, and sew
eral others just fall short of double
figures in their diamond career. AS a
result, the Athletics average is six
years, Notwithstanding the fact that
number OF comparative youngsters are
marshaled under the Philadelphia flag.
The team which will act as the
standard bearers of the National
League, is an interesting combination
of the youth and the age of the dia-
mond. In some cases extremes have
been blended by Manager Stallings in
artful manner to make of the Braves a
winning team. This fact is illustrated
in two noticeable cases. Principal fig
tense which enabled the Braves to win
to the front of the stirring race in the
National Lacquer. Johnny Evers, vet
eran of nearly 1000 games, a figure
prominent in the recent history of the
sport, has worked in effective colabor-
alton about second base with Rabbit"
Meanwhile, barely more than a boy,
playing his second season with a ma
jor league club. The same combination
of old and young is found in the rec
ords of the men of the outfields, and of
the pitching staff. These figures show
the oldest member of the team to be
Otto Hess, with 33 years behind him.
Almost boy, Paul Strand, at 10 years,
is the baby of the team.

VERA CRUZ, Mex, Oct 7-One re-
turns from Mexico City saddened by
the changes which revolution has pro-
duced in the life and appearance of
that beautiful and alluring capital. To
one who has known the city in better
days, and grown to love it, the capital,
in it's present aspect, suggests those
fair, unfortunate bellesdames of the

terror, stripped of their silks and
satins, disheveled, smudged with mud
hurled at them by sonsculottes, as they
iolted over the cobbles in tumbrels
scornful-eyed and still beautiful, de-
spite their stress and misery
Up to the present the city has not
been given over to sack. Already the
soldiery which streamed after Car
rama into the city, are grumbling be-
cause the three days pillage which
they say was promised them for their
support of the cause, has been with

capital, money, jewels, sump:uous ap-

Officers Do The LOOting.
The generals, colonies, majors,

Angry Over Huerta's Coup.

Dilligent search was set afoot for
large numbers of houses which Huerta
was said to have purchased with por-
ton of treasury loot. Deep curses
were heard when investigation showed
that the canny Huerta, who had indeed
bought much property at his own price,
had, before leaving Mexico, sold it all
to the government at inflated figures
and collected in cash.
Every railway station is a fortress,
