Governor Blease says that the
election was stolen from him.
That is manifestly not true. He
further says he could. if he had
money, contest the election. We
wish to know what has become
of the perfect organization the
Governor boaSted on the stump
throughout the whole latter half
OF his campaign? The truth of

abuse, the etfrontery and the
wholesale charges so often made
by Governor Blease.

in the unenviable position of be-
ing the source of pollution for
these counties. Love worketh
no i'll to ones neighbor," and it
is a certain fact this great prin-
ciple should cause us to ponder
well our present status. We
are the one ugly spot in the CEN
tre of this tier of counties, and
we should be ashamed of il.
The very argument the friends
of the dispensary advance in
favor of the dispensary is
enough to damn it, namely, that
it brings money to Union from
these outside communities. This
one thing should cause us to
pause. To be the source Of con-
tamination is an unenviable pos
ition. and that's a fact. Lets
Kill the thing and join in with

Reciprocity.

Mr.. Dock Owen, Confederate vet
eran who used to live in Anderson but
who now lives in Greenwood, tells
this one. 1t may be old but it is good:
When the city of Columbia was
burned, Mr.. Owen says, some of the
people there appealed for assistance
to Methodist minister in Chicago,
whom they knew very we'll. The min
lister sent them sixteen thousand dol
lars in Confederate.
A few years later the city of Chi
cago was burned, and the people of
Columbia, Mr.. Owen says, sent a bale
of hay for the cow that kicked over
the lamp that started the fire that de-
stroyed the city of Chicago.-Daily

ifested in the election, while some of
our people preferred Cooper to either
Manning or Richards, yet when the
people speak in the second primary,
let it go as it will, most of us will
take our medicine without murmur.
The price of cotton is matter that
is being discussed rather freely just
now and unless there can be some
plan of relief found both merchants
and farmers will be hard pressed.
Some of our thinking people are ad-
vocating as one plan of relief the
iod of at least thirty days and keep
all cotton off the market till October
or longer if necessary. There is one
hopeful sign-that is the situation is
a serious one, and all parties concern
ed are willing to cooperate to put
some plan in force that will relieve us.
There will be a series of meetings
at Cross Keys school house after the
second Sunday, conducted by Rev. w.
A. Lamar. The public generally is
cordially invited to attend these SER

OAKLAND

Oakland, Sept. 9.-As l never see
a letter in your valuable columns
from our neighborhood, will YOU
please allow me this privilege. AL
though it be not as interesting as if
it were from the pen of your older
correspondents, but nevertheless it
shows our desire to be represented
along with the other communities of
our county.
The farmers are busily engaged in
th'n farm work again, pulling fodder
and picking cotton. The weather has
been very favorable for the past two
weeks and if it continues they will
soon rid their stubble of its hay and
get it in condition for sowing oats
and other small grain. Pm sure this
line of farming should have the great
est attention this fall than ever be-
fore, for if we can realize fully what
the present prices of food stuf means
to us, what will be the condton of
prices with these same comBdities
next spring and summer? o:Ge the
present price of cotton aid also the
crisis of the war into consideration,
why then should we hare miscon-
ception of what 1915 will bring upon
the whole world? Probably the great
est problem confronting the South to-
day is what plans can and must be ex-
ecuted to advance the price of the
1914 cotton crop. But. as yet have
not seen any definite plans which will
favourably meet the conditions of the
whole people.

The Times wishes to thank
each and every friend who help
ed us to get the election returns

the county and the result placed
upon our bulletin board. Black

w. T. Nelson. He had to get
the count at Black Rock, ride
five miles to Whitmire and tele-
graph us the results. His re-
port was on our bulletin before
six o'clock. The next to the last
precinct to get in was Coleraine.
A good friend had to ride from
Coleraine to West Springs and
thence our ever faithful Thos. J.
West sent us the returns. This
report reached us here before
$50 o'clock. All others got in
so fast we could hardly get them

serve board began today, In the SEN
ate banking committee, but no formal
action was taken.
Friends Of the administration indi-
Gated they would press for early con-
firmation Of the nominees and several
senators seemed satisfied with Presi-
dent Wilson's explanation of how
Thomas ID. Jones. OF Chicago, came to
own one share OF stock I'm the Inter-
national Harvester company The pres
ident wrote to Senator Owen that Mr..
Jones owned the stock merely to quail
ify as director and that he entered

tions the government Is now fighting
through the department of justice.
Paul M. Warburg, Of New York, also
was discussed at today's meeting. Mr..
Jones will have an opportunity to ap-
pear before a committee. Several mem
bers want to hear from Mr.. Jones, him
self, just what his relations have been
with the Harvester company.
President Wilson expects a fight on
the confirmation Of nearly all the men
he nominated, but 1t was made clear
in circles close to the president today,
that he thinks the board the best it
was possible to get and will stand be-
hind It,
