Lew 10 :
With nine counties to hear from
In the Third congressional district
Neil Mclean of Lamar is in the lead
by majority of nearly 500 with
Fred Stanley of Alamosa crowding
him for the nomination for con-
gressman. The counties missing are
for the most part favorable SO far
as indicated to Stanley, which means
at this time Il close race, between
these two men. .. Hf,.H
Stanley claims the San Luis valley
counties of Mineral. Saguacnc. Rio
Grande. Conejos. Costello and Ala
mosa and last night over the tcle-
phone said he would come out of the
valley with not less than 800 to the
good over his nearest opponent. Out
side of the above the missing coun-
ties are Kiowa. which is Mclean
county hut with small vote. Teller
which is a Bousllton county, Custer
and Fremont. Custer cast but a
small vote while II is believed by
those who canvasscd the situation
before the primaries. that Fremont
will give Mclean a fair majority.
The total vote practically all Off
cial of the counties in the district on
congressman is as follows:

Denver. Colo. Sept. 12.--Although
complete official returns have not as
yet been received from a large num-
Der OF outside counties, little doubt
remains as to the successful candi-
do nt N mo al TIL
is especially true of the Republican
ticket.
For the state auditor MulniX now
leads Catren by plurality of only
1875 and 1t will require the official
count from all the counties to decide
this contest. Next in order of close
ness is the contest between Stocker
and Greenlec for the state treasurer.
Stocker now has the advantage by
$50 votes and seems likely to in
crease rather than to diminish his
number when the remaining pre-
cincts and county are heard from.
Goblin has an apparently safe lead
for attorney general over his nearest
rival of 7S5 votes. Carlson seems to
be sure winner over Nicholson with
I ,749 votes to spare.
On the Democratic side there Is a
close contest between Hunter and
Brake for the nomination for secre-
tary OF state with the present bal
ance in favor of Hunter by 1856
votes. Brakes friends have not yet
given up the fight and claim that the
final returns will reverse the present
position.

FEARFUL FOR COTTON.
The Low Price Resulting From War
Win Harm Our Sountry Greatly.

: With the outbreak Of actual war
the price of cotton broke also. Buy
ers don't know where they are at.
Mills are in doubt, and a condition
Of bewildeFment seems to have set
tied upon trade. No one realizes
exactly what will be the effect Of the
war upon cotton, except every one is
Informed expects it to cause lower
prices. This will result badly for
the people of this county, the pres
perity of which depends upon the
price o. Gotten.
No other part Of the nation will
feel the war as the South will. The
price of foodstuffs will go up, due
to the necessity of the nations to be
fed, but when the mills shut down
there will be no outlet for cotton.
There is a big difference between
buying food and buying clothing.
There is scarcely family that could
not run year or so if forced to do so
without buying more clothes, but not
so with eating.
II the price of cotton reduces
largely it will probably curtail busi-
ness in our section to great extent.
Preparations had been made by most
business houses for a large holiday
trade this fall.

FIGHTING THE CATTLE TICK.
His Enemies Entered Five New Coun-
ties Last Month.

ties Last Month.
The are hard times in South Caro-.
lima for cattle ticks. They are re.
ceiving very rude treatment-beine
killed in large numbers, in fact. Rap.
i'd progress in the work Of Statewide
tick eradication is reported by DR.
W. K. Lewis, inspector in charge
preliminary work begun July in
Edgefeld, Saluda, Lexington, Aiken
and Calhoun counties. This work
consists of locating infested premises
in order to have them ready for the
actual work of eradication in these
counties, which will begin next
spring. The work is under veteri-
marian and a group of field agents.
DR.. Lewis said that many people
in these five counties who are inter
ested and willing to cooperate will
clean their premises individually be-
fore next year, which will make the
work of eradication in these counties
simpler and more rapid.
Eradication work IS going forward
excellently in Charleston county, es-
pecially in the construction of dip
ping vats. Twelve or fifteen watts
have been built in that county already
and there is an expert on the ground
who is devoting his time solely to
this work 1t is expected that by
September 1 Charleston will have be-
tween so and Is dipping watts.
The interstate shipping station vat
in Richland county was finished re-
Gently and lively movement of
stock through Columbia will prob
ably begin as soon as the railroads
have built the necessary free or unin-
tested pens. DR.. Lewis said he knew
OF some shippers in other states who
are waiting for these pens to be COM
pleted to begin moving stock through
Columbia.

War and the Price of Cotton.
Render All Possible Aid.

The entire world is closely and de-
nendently linked together. The mis-
fortunes of one nation are reflected
in various ways upon the progress OF
another. Still there are those VINO
believe that general European war
won't affect our United States very
much. but they are wrong, decidedly
wrong.
England is a great manufacturing
country, and much c. the Southern
cotton crop is exported to her shores
# England becomes engaged in de-
cisive conflict mills will be curtailed
seriously, if not totally shut down.
This will mean fall in the cotton
market, which is even now dropping
rapidly from fear of war.
And then even if the mills are not
stopped, there will be falling on IN
the buying Of manufactured cotton
goods, because of the war and strin-
sency of money which will follow,
which will act disastrously upon the
price of our staple.
The question of war and peace,
therefore, is one of many dollars and
cents to Southern farmers.

from the secretary of states Office
read by the governor
Eomebody asked the governor:
How about the race track in Charles
TOM" "How much did you lose on it,
sucker?" asked the governor, in re-
ply.
The governor said it was right and
proper to call cotton conference in
the present crisis, telling the crowd,
however, not to be fooled into helieV-
ing that such conference raised the
price of cotton; that when England
called upon her mill operatives to
fight, closing down the mills, the de-
mand for American cotton goods
would greatly increas,. He said the
cotton conference was nothing in
the world but to fool somebody He
urged the farmers to hold their cot
ton.
L. D. Jennings, the last speaker,
was greeted with applause. Refer
ring to the Blease procession leaving
the stand in the wage of Gov. Blease.
who descended Immediately after his
speech was over, the speaker stated
that he had witnessed "a funeral pro-
cession like that in moving nlrfnro
last night; that the governor can
fool that bunch that's leaving W..
him, nobody wants their votes, any
how"
Referring to the figures submitted
by the governor and given above, Mr..
Jennings said the governor failed to
take into consideration the natural
increase in values, ETC., in this State.
adding that it was hard to say where
the figures would have gone had the
State different governor.
Mr.. Jennings said that if Bieas-
ite is elected governor, he would ad-
wise the people to tear down the jails
and use the brick on the streets. or
sell them and get money "to protect
your wives and children" He related
what he charged were fragrant abuses
of the pardon power by the governor.
Mr.. Jennings said that the excursion
referred to by the governor was filed
with Bleasites. there being few anti
Bleasites aboard; that most of the
Bleasites we're from Clarendon county
and not twenty passengers from Sum-
ter. Reverting to the governors par
don record, the speaker said the
crowd knew that practically every
Bleasite felt secure should he come
in conflict with the law.
Mr.. Jennings declared tfat Gov
Blease has as much chance to be-
come United States senator as Huerta
has to again become president OF
Mexico Referring to the R. A.
Richey case, Mr.. Jennings said the
governor had gotten into such hole
in trying to explain this matter that
he had not again attempted to ex-
plain anything. The speaker declared
that nobody's life is safe in South
Carolina under present conditions. re-
ferring specifically to the shooting of
Dr.. James H. Mcintosh.

SEES NO FACTIONS.
Wilson Says He Will Not Fight Re
election of Democratic Members.

President Wilson has decided not
to interpose any obstacles to the re-
nomination and reelection Of Demo
cratic members of congress who have
supported the party's policies, no
matter what their local and State af-
fliations may be.
This policy, which is to be applied
generally during the coming cam
paigns, the president made known
Thursday during his conference with
Representative Fitzgerald and other
Democratic members of the House
from New York city, who called at
the White House to complain that
some of the federal appointees In
their State have been claiming they
had the support of the administration
in fighting them.
The president made it clear, while
his attitude did not necessarily mean
that he would not accept the indorse-
ments of particular members Of con-
gress for federal positions, the men
whom he does appoint will not be al
lowed to fight loyal Democrats with
the influence of the administration.
Although the New York congress
men did not mention any names, they
bluntly told the president they had
been with the party since he came
into Office and they did not think it
proper for his appointees to attack
them in his lame.
Some of the New Workers went
into the conference agitated over the
telegram sent by Dudley Field Ma
lone, collector of the port of New
York, to Representative Fitzgerald,
ascking that Mr.. Malone be admitted
to the meeting Mr.. Malone did not
ask the president for an appointment
and was not present.
The members of the delegation left
the White House somewhat disap-
pointed because they had not been
promised any appointments. but de-
lighted over Mr.. Wilson's attitude re-
sarding their candidates for re-elec-
ton.

WAR CALLS ARE SENT
AUSTRIA AND SERVIA WANT
THEIR NATIVE SONS.
The Natives of Those Countries Clash

Los Angeles, Cal.
A proclamation calling upon all
patriotic Austrians, Hungarians and
Coatians to forward their addresses
at once to their nearest consulate has
been forwarded for publication to all
pro-Austro-Hungarian newspapers
throughout the United States by
Charles Winter, who is in charge Of
the Austro-Hungarian consulate in
New York city.
The proclamation contains the am
nesty proposal announced Tuesday.
At the consulate it was said returns
were expected from all Austrian sub
jects who had received special or in
dividual calls to arms. These reserv-
lists, it was said, would be the first to
be sent over, then will come the 9TH
ers who have answered the general
mobilization call.
No official word has as yet been re-
ceived at the Seryian consulate at
New York concerning mobilization
calls. This was accounted for by the
fact that all cable messages from
IServia must come through Italy and
Austria and therefore may have been
stopped in transit.

ing Europe have not greatly affected
bookings for European ports. About

One War Affects Us All.

There is no possibility Of foretell-
ing the effect of general European
war upon the United States. Already

A news-dispatch tells of the effect

COTTON WILT SPREADS
GOING INTO NEW PARTS OF THE
PALMETTO STATE.
Specimens of Cotton Wilt Disease
Have Been Sent to Clemson From
Piedmont Section Lately.

Cotton wilt is pushing it's way with
certainty into parts of South Caro-
lima in which it was never experience
ed before and, from reports which
are coming to the botany division of
the South Carolina Experiment Sta
ton, the disease is more widespread
and more destructive this season than
it has { r been before. This in
formation was obtained from H. W.
Barre, botanist and plant pathologist
at Clemson college. who says that this
destructive disease seems to be
spreading gradually into the Pied
mont section of the State. Within
the past few weeks the college has
received specimens of diseased plants
sent in from Honea Path, Greenwood
and Silver Street Wilt seems now
to occur on the majority of the farms
in the coastal plain.
Cotton wilt" says Prof. Barre,
"is recognized by blackened tissues
found on the inside of the whiting or
dead plants. Where cotton is dying,
split the stem open and if there are
dark streaks in the wood or just be-
meath the bark, the disease is wilt.
The fungus which causes cotton
wilt will live in the soil indefinitely
and anything which carries soil from
the infected areas to other parts of
the farm will spread the disease.
Plaws and other implements used in
blowing a field where the dieease oc-
ours should be thoroughly cleaned
before being carried to field where
the disease does not occur. The dis
ease may also be carried in drainage
water.
"If wilt is occurring for the first
time on your farm and is confined to
small areas. put up and destroy the
diseased plants. Guard against its
further spread by making sure that
no soil or drainage water is carried
from the diseased areas to other
parts of the farm. If you want to
plant cotton again on land where the
disease occurs, ask your county dem
onstration agent or write to the bot
any division of Clemson college about
wilt resistant seed. The Dixie and
the Dillon varieties of cotton are
immune to wilt and we are cooper
ating with a number of breeders In
improving these varieties and keep
ling them pure"
Splendid results have been obtain
ed from the cotton wilt work being
done by Clemson college. L. %. Wat,
son, who has charge of this work
under the direction of Prof. Barre
made much progress during the last
year in breeding wilt-resistant
strains. AS result Of this work
thousands of acres which would 9th
erwise be unproductive are now be-
ling put in cotton In 1910 farmer
! in Barnwell county made bales oi
! cotton on IS acres with non-resist
ant varieties. His land was badly
Infested with wilt. During the last
two years, using wilt-resistant varie
les, he has produced As bales each
year on the same As acres, having
Increased his yield fYe-fold.

WHY IS THE DELAY?
GERMAN TROOPS SEEM TO BE
SLOW IN MOVING.
War Experts Surprised at Delay of
German Army in Getting Into
French Territory

Army strategists are eagerly scan
ming news reports Of the stirring
events that were taking place in Ger
many, Russia and France. There was
a complete lack of official information
in Washington as American military
attaches at European embassies and
legations are out of touch with the
war department.
Experts expressed some surprise at
the comparatively slow beginning OF
the German campaign. The Ameri-
can war college had understood that
so perfectly had every detail of an
offensive campaign against both
France and Russia been worked out
that within "a hours after the decla.
ration of war or after order for mobil'
ization, the first German battalions
would be many miles advanced across
both eastern and western boundaries
into the enemys country.
There have been no reports of bat
tie on any large scale, and the belief
is expressed among military men il
Washington that invisible wires are
holding back the dogs of war, an6
that the full strength Of the mill
tary forces on all sides Is being with
held while statesmen and diplomats
are playing the last cards in the des
perate game of diplomacy, not with
the hope of averting general war bu
of obtaining individually such ad"an
tages as they can through delayed
action.
After looking over available data
the strategists unanimously were o.
the opinion that the plans of cam
paign had not so far unfolded as tt
admit of a guess as to the real pur
poses of the great military leaders
What has been done by the German
army in the reported invasion of Bel
gium is regarded as precautionar!
md calculated rather to prevent
possible quick dash by the French in
to the fatherland than the begirnint
deliberate campaign toward Paris
Movement on the border of Lor
raine are looked upon as feints tt

There appears to be no less thar
three army divisions within strikin,
distance of the French frontier on ;
line less than 100 miles in length. /
a general campaign had been Initial
ed, there was sufficient German force
in the opinion of the experts in Wash
ington, to have broken through
French lines at any point where ther'
were no great fortresses.
According to these same calcula
tions, this German advance might b.
only temporary, as it is known tn
French army is gathered in grea
strength in the fortified towns and a
is would be only question of tim
before they would fall upon the Ger
man fanks in an effort to isolate ant
destroy or capture the invading arm!
before it could bring up it reserves
So far as can be discerned in Wash
ington, the German campaigns in tn
east at this stage at least are rathe
defensive then offensive.
Reports have come from BerliJ
that German troops actually have
crossed the Russian frontier south o
Danzic, but this movement is believ
ed to be calculated simply to harss
the Russians and to retard organiza
ton of the great army Of the car.
