CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN.
No Meeting Held Here Friday on
Account OF Weather.

The Congressional campaign of
the Sixth district opened at Florence
Monday of last week. Hon Julius S
McInnes of Darlington and James D
Evans, ESQ, of Florence, both of whom
are opposing Hon j Willard Rags
dale, the present incumbent. spoke to
good audiences. Mr. Ragsdale was
not present.
Mr. McInnes made only a short
talk. as he is still suffering from the
effects of his anti-typhoid treatment
administered at Camp Moore, he be-
ing a private in the Darlington
Guards Company E, Second South
Carolina Infantry. He made a clear
cut appeal to the voters for their
support strictly on his merits. and
not, as he stated, on the demerits of
any other man. He was given close
attention, and it was apparent that
he made a favorable impression upon
MS hearers.
Mr. Evans made a strong attack
on Mr. Ragsdale's official record, and
told the people he asked their sup
port because he would make them q
good and faithful representative in
the halls of Congress.
The second meeting was held at
Timmonsville Tuesday, where small
gathering gave respectful attention
to Messrs McInnes and Evans. They
spoke at Lake City Wednesday and
at Johnsonville Thursday. A meet
ing was scheduled for Kingstree Fri
day and Mr. Evans was in town. Mr.
McInnes was probably here also, but
on account of the very bad weather
that prevailed throughout the day,
no attempt was made at holding
meeting.

More Fine Cattle
Comes to Weakley.

Weakley county is making
rapid strides in the matter Of
blooded cattle, and there never
has been time in the history Of
this county when there was SO
much widespread interest IN this
particular branch Of farming.
Last week two Of the countY's
most ambitious breeders Messrs.
Shanklin and Donoho- attended
the big sale Of Shorthorns at
Union City, each making pur-
chases. Mr.. Shonklin brought a
nice Shorthorn COW for 5000,
while Mr.. Ed Donoho paid $500
for a fine COW of the same breed.
It is gratifying to note that these
bIooded animals will have their
homes in Weakley county. Both
these gentlemen already owned
fine herds, but were DESTROYS Of
adding new blood and better blood,
and they are to be commended
for their zeal in this particular.
The Enterprise applauds them.

Puts Up a Lot Of
Fine Corn in Cans.

Weakley county housewives are
preparing for plenty Of good
things to eat the coming winter.
Many have canned fruits and
vegetables in large quantities, and
the canning club girls will have
a fine lot of their canned pro.
ducts-beans and tomatoes and
corn, and so onto sell. In fact,
some have already sold large
quantities.
Mrs. Will Bailey, near Liberty
church, has q fine lot OF canned
corn, put up during the past
week. Mrs. Bailey has ninety
five cans Of corn, or twenty-tour
gallons, lacking just one quart,
Besides the canned corn, Mrs.
Bailey has her pantry pretty well
filled with canned and preserved
fruits and vegetables, all nicely
cared for and ready for the win
ter's consumption.
Under the direction OF Mrs.
Ellis many new varieties Of
canned and preserved fruits and
vegetables have been put up by
WeakIey county women during
the summer just closed. Many
fine specimens Of these will be
shown at the coming fair, and
this exhibit alone ought to be
we'll worth coming to see.

I'M III o q IlzeCS
lobe at County Fair.

A marvellous exhibition Of the
quadrumana branch Of the monkey
family will be on view during the
Weakley county fair. The exhibit
consists Of one large male Chin
panzee, two adult females and two
baby chimpanzees. Special interest
centered in the babies embraced
in this group, as baby chimpanzees
are regarded as a rarity among
geological collections and have
seldom if ever been exhibited in
this country. This groupis known
as the Balboa family. Their habl-
tation is the Congo country IN
Africa, but have been acclimated
to the regions OF North American
life by the jealous care and atten-
ton OF their owners. Experts and
scientists in the realm OF natural
history research all agree that
the chimpanzee bears the closest
sembelance to humanity possessed
by any type Of the monkev family.
Their diet, habits, facial express
ions, care Of their young and in all
matters pertaining to domestic
life all strongly suggest to the
beholder that perhaps Darwin
held the correct theory. This
family will be seen at the Weakley
county fair and the public will
have an opportunity to form their
own conclusions as to whether
Darwin or opposing scientists were
correct in the puzzling question Of
evolution.
