III liz not matter susceptible of
proof, but citizens familiar with the
conditions which existed at that time
VIII generality agree that Mr. Eavns
aud Mr.. Smith each drew practically
his entire strength on the first ballot.
There were 47,2'l voters who in the
second primary had TO choose between
! candidates neither Of whom was as ac-
crptable TO them Us some third candi-
date would have been.
1t is some misadvcnture of this sort
which We fear in the governors race
this year unless the anti Blcasites vote
can be reasonably well concentrated
on some one OF the candidates avowed-
ly opposed to things which have made
the administration of the present gov
crnor notorious. 1t Is true that there
arc nearly as many Blense men in the
race as there arc anti-Elease men; but
there Is every reason to believe that
the Blease forces will concentrate up
Oh two of the Blcasc candidates and
let the rest go. They can do that.
l'leaso has lost strength but the ele-
mems which are for him are cohesive
and organized. They will vote as
their leaders say vote.
If this plan is followed and for our
own part we do not doubt but that it
will he follOwed-there is q possibility
that two of the Blease candidates may
each received upwards of better than
$4,000 votes In the first primary.
Is there any anti-Blease candidate
for whom that many votes can be fig
cured out In the first primary as things
look now? We don't believe 1t
There Is every chance for the anti
Blease forces-thc forces of reform
and progressAto name the next gov
ernor in the contest this summer, but
It will be an easy matter for them to
forfeit that chance II they continue to
proceed as they are now proceeding
upon the theory that an anti-Blease
man is sure Of election and that they
can afford to scatter their votes about

GRAZING BEEF CATTLE

We were very much Interested IN
q statement made here last Tuesday
by Paul ". Moore. secretary or the
Spartanburg chamber or commerce.
Mr.. Moore and J. L. Watt or Clemson
college. went to Northern Missouri
with $4,000 to buy beef cattle for the
farmers Of Anderson and Spartan
burg. Mr.. Moore's statement was tnat
the cattle raiser from wnom they
bought tho beef cattle declared his
dissatisfaction with that section or
the country.
Mr.. Moore stated that this Missou-
ri farmer realizes that the grazing
season Is all too short. 1t Is NIL right
while 1t lasts, hut the winters are
long and severe and the summers are
hotter than In South Caroilna.
Why should not Anderson make
an effort to induce such men 20 come
TO this county? They might start
merely a branch of the industry here.
and, II II succeeds. let the undertaking
become greater and greater all OF the
time
We read in the Bible, some OF us do,
OF the famlnes of the good old days,
and we do not appreciate that this
country Is now facing, not exactly q
famine. but n real shortage In beef
supply. The statistics show that the
number of beef cattle in the United
States has been reduced nearly $780,
00G in year. That nunuer IS al
most equivalent to the population of
South Carolina.
The boil weevil Is coming. That is
what the experts and the scientists
tell us. We are really NOT SO much
afraid Of the boil weevil as We were
a few years ago. but ho is on mis- way.
| The reason this section feels more
secure is because we are gradually
planting more grain, and IL other
ways varying the crops. Just one
thing more is needed to make all of
the hillsides green with Bermuda and
clovers and to cause tho meadows To
be filled with beef cattle.
The boll weevil may come. but II
he has no cotton hollis on which to
gorge himself. the farL,er will not
suffer. The country is beginning to
turn to the southeast for it's beef cat
tie and its grazing ranges.
What better breeding place could
be found than the sourneastr IN the
Southern states are millions OF ac-
res OF cheap, we'll watered lands that
are ideal for stock raising. There is
little Of the land that could not bo
utilized for that purpose.
There are; many factors that enter
into making this ssctioa sne future
stock growing zone Of America. Not
the least of these is the lons graz
ing season. In most f-sotions OF the
Southeast cattle can graze for nfne
months In tho year with no shelter at
all. Sheep can Craze throughout the
season without any othvr FOOD tiian
they can gather In the fields. In adj
