Conway, Aug. 14.--In the light OF
recent political history. Horny coun.
ty was not its former self today when
without word of cautions warming
1t gave the chief executive the coolest
reception Of the entire campaign. Pos.
sibly after all there is something more
In name than vowels and conso-
nants. Horny being the independent
republic"
When the governor was introduced
to the 1900 on 1000 voters who had
come here today to hear the quar-.
tette OF senatorial candidates there
was not ripple Of applause to greet
him as he advanced to the front OF
the stage. Talk as he would, the crow d
refused to swing, and 1t was not unit!
near hte conclusion of his speech that
he had wrenched his limited follow
Ing from its lethargic mooring and
swept 1t to the customary pitch OF
ecstacy.
On the other hand, the anti-admin-
istration sentiment was the most pos
tive that has yet been encountered.
Partisans Of opposite factions kent
up a rattling exchange Of acrid re.
torts with the governor, these getting
the full benefit of the chief executives
caustic replies. One of these was de-
nOunced as a liar and challenged to
come up town after the speaking for
settlement. He was urged not to stand
back on the fact that the man drop
ping the glove was governor.
This was all the more surprising
when viewed in the light of recent
political history of Horny county. Two
years ago Horny gave the governor
the largest majority in the Pee Dee,
ne carrying this county by 662. Four
years before 1t was in the same COL
umn by majority of 447. Yesterday
at Marion, where the governors fol-
lowing was by no means in predomi-
nance, the governor in a moment of
Irritation bOasted that the loss of Ma
rion county was Of no consequence, as
he would get enough in Horny to blot
Marion off the map.
There was another striking depart
ure In the meeting when the governor
read the reasons for the pardon M
>. Allen Emerson Of Anderson coun-
ty for the murder of Tom Drake. The
reasons assigned were those set forth
IN the governors pardon document.
This, the governor explained, was not
In answer to anything that had been
said on the stand. neither was it to be
construed In this connection. 1t was
done to comply with the suggestion
OF friends. the chief executive en-
piained.
The only other feature of the meet
Ing was the caustic arraignment of
the governor as 'the pretended pro-
tector of woman's virtue" by l.. d.
Jennings. who pictures the governor
as always OH the side of the despoil.
ers OF women and young girls, as
exemplified by the Richey and Emer-
son cases. No other utterance OF the
campaign has so seized interest of the
voters of the various counties as this
verbal picture-drawn day by day-ol
the governor as the professed friend
or those who would destroy woman
hood.
The meeting today was held i'm q
grove. with approximately 1000 per-
sons In attendance. Sheriff T. A

banks of this State here on Wedncs-
DAY next. At preliminary confer.
ence held here today at the jefferson
Hotel there were represented FORTY
one Of the fifty-three national banks
In this State. 1t was the unanimous
vote OF the banks actually represented
that 1t was best and proper to organ
ize the State association, which would
secure the benefits Of the Vreeland-
Aldrich emergency currency"
The meeting was called by w. A.
Clark, who presided as temporary
anu permanent chairman. Il. f..
Leaphart was made temporary secre-
tary.
The federal treasury department
requires that certain formal rcsolu-
lions must first be adopted by the
respective boards of directors before
banks can join the currency associa-
ton. and while many of the banks
mad adopted these resolutions others
did not and it was decided that time
would be saved by all banks TO he

with the proper credentials and repre-
sentation. Most of the eleven banks
that were not represented have indi-
Gated that they will join the associa
ton.
Three of the four national banks
In Charleston were represented at to-
days meeting.
r. Goodwin Rhett, Of Charleston
who came directly to the meeting from
washington, where he had been call
ed. and where he had seen the treas
ury officials. was called upon for a
statement. He said that while the
treasury department was anxious and
willing to do all it could, that it was
made pdlain that tho department
wanted such State currency associa-
tions formed and prepared to issu,
emergency currency" under govern
ment regulations and that those who
showed that they would help them
selves in this way would be given
what help the government had to
lend. The government is not inclined
to stretch the crop-moving fund, but
prefers to see the States organize and
avail themselves of the Vreeland-Al-
drich currency
There were number of progress
sive State banks represented at to-
days meeting. 1t was, however, de-
cided that in view of the Feder; tdx
of 10 per cent on issues by State
banks that the time was not propi
tiOus for State banks to avail them
selves Of the emergency currency. Az
effort Is now being made in Washing
ton to repeal this 10 per cent tax when
applied to State banks that have
joined the reserve system. and when
the repeal Of the tax is had the State
banks can join the system.
The State Association will be Or
ganized on Wednesday, more than
enough banks at today's preliminary
having signified the purpose of join
ing.
All the plans for the meeting to-
day were made by local committee
consisting OF Mcssrs. Gilbert M. Ber-

Again the stars contend for good

Saturn is not friendly to the old

MONDAY. DECEMBER :. 1914.

Astrologers interpret the stars to-
day as OF doubtful influence, for
Uranus is in a place strongly malefic,
friendly.
Uranus is read as giving warning
that the madness Of men who slaugh-
ter one another will not subside for
some time. The planet which tends
toward the unexpected. and extremes
foreshadows a surprise that Will
startle the world.
As the aspect operates TO increase
the activity of the mind, making it
restless and impatient, the rule is not
fortunate one for peace or serenity;
it is supposed to affect domestic con-
ditions.
1t is not lucky time for entering
into contracts or partnerships, as the
aspect is believed to cause action
without proper premeditation.
The government is held to be ex-
ceedingly unlucky for inventions, es-
pecially for those concerned with cleo
tricity or explosives.
Women should benefit today, where
business is concerned. They have the
auglfry of success in many new voca-
tions, especially those that require
executive ability. A girl will win fame
in the field of experimental chem
istry, it is predicted, and she will do

WORLDS LANGUAGES.

There are over 1900 languages
spoken by mankind, while the num-
Der of dialects exceeds this, There
are more than 90 vocabularies in
Brazil, and in Mexico the Nahua is
broken up into some 700 dialects.
There are hundreds in Borneo. while
in Australia there is no classifying
the complexities. Let us assume that
Sc dialects, on an average. belong
to each language. and We have the
colossal total Of 25O.00O linguistic
abilities.
A century hence the probability Is
that there viii only be four languages
of Importance in the world. Central
Europe may produce a newer and
more straightforward German Ian
guage. Imperial English may reign
alone over the North American con-
tinent. while a more husiness-like
Spanish will be used in South Amer
lean States. while Russia may take
on some more rich Slavonic dialect,
which win blend the races of Eastern
Europe and Central Asia into a har-
monious federation. So that in future
these four languages will enter into
what may be a never-cnding compe-
tition.--Answers.

Irrigation District Will
Press Condemnation Suit
Aided by Southern Pacific

President Walter Hamilton and At
torney M. w. Conkling Of the irri-
cation district have returned from San
Francisco, where they went to con-
suit with representatives Of the salt
works after the conference with Presi-
dent Sproule of the Southern Pacific
in Los Angeles. They report that they
found it impossible to obtain any con-
cessions from the salt works people,
and it has been found necessary to
proceed at once with the condemna-
ton proceedings, which will be a
friendly action, so far as the railroad
company is concerned. 1t is believed by
this action the district will be able
to shake off, the salt works judgment.
But, whatever the outcome may be,
the claim will not interfere with the
district obtaining possession of the
plant, which, it is thought, can be
consummated within three or four
months.
One of the important steps to be
taken at once is to secure the consent
of Mexico to a transfer Of the con-
cession in that country to the dis

and Attorney Ives of the Southern

While the concession is being ar
ranged, petitions will be circulated for
submitting to the people of the dis
trio the proposal to issue bonds in the
sum of Sc, 100000, this sum being de-
sired to purchase the plant, take up
the California Development Company
bonds held by others than the rail-
road company, make desired improve
ments to the canals, and to hold as a
reserve fund in case of an emergency
requiring special and sudden use.
1t is believed the concession trans
fer will be obtainable by the time the
bonds can be voted and issued, when
the actual transfer of the property to
the district can be made
The directors of the irrigation dis
