Peace and prosperity prevail in Pick
ems. In that breeze-swept vale of con-
tentment, politics is cutting a very small
iigure in this year Of grace. 1t takes
lean years OF dullness to get the politi-
clan in the saddle anywhere. The State
campaign meeting yesterday amounted

citizens of the independent State"

Co!umbia State.

The sturdy yeomanry Of the county
which has the largest percentage of
white population iu South Carolina gave
the state campaigners good hearing
Some 500 people heard the candidates
and in the audience were many women,
their rosy cheeks and striking appear
ance bearing eloquent testimony to the
fine climate which blesses this favorite
section. Nesting in the foothills of
the Blue Ridge and surrounded by a
fine farming country, traversed by good
roads and boasting as fine type of cit
izenship as can be found anywhere,
Pickens today lived up to is reputation
as hospitable community which well
comes the stranger with outstretched
hand.
On the walls of the court house where
the meeting began were several glaring
posters telling of the evils of whiskey
and stretched above the judges stand
was large banner intertwinsd with
the stars and stripes, witnesses of the
prohibition sentiment and the patriot
ism of this county.

In the audience that gathered to hear
the caravan, were number of girls and
women, rosy checked and ruby-lipped,
as is usual with the women of this
beautiful and healthful section of the
state; this section where the white pop
ulation in greater predominance than
elsewhere; where there are small land
owners more frequent than in many
other parts of the commonwealth, and
where there is noticeable spirit of
agricultural progressiveness, and edu-
cational advancement.

FANS APATHETIc TOWARD CITY
SERIES-START TOMORROW
BY Mark Shields

title interest in the city series start
ing tomorrow on the South Side be-
tween White Sox and Cubs.
In former. days it was no uncom-
mon thing for the pop-eyed rooters
to- rouse themselves to the point of
mortal combat, and fights over the
merits of the clubs were frequent.
Several reasons are apparent for
this apathetic condition. White Sox
fans, until the last few days, have
been enthused over the possibility of
their prides coping a pennant in the
American league, and Cub fans since
the first of May have been reconciled
to a second division club.
Rooters from the South Side must
readjust their affairs and drop from
worlds series aspirations to the civil
strife. 1t is a dull thud, and many
followers of the Rowland, club feel
they are losing on something the
class of the team entitled them to.
But, beginning tomorrow, when
the games are under way, interest
will perk up and traditional enthu-
siasm will break out. 1t should, even
though the noble athletes are fight
ing for gOrgonzOla gonfalon.
Sportsmanship marks the negoti-
atoms of Weeghman and Comiskey
for the series. COmmy waived OBJ
lection to Steve Yerkes playing with
the Cubs. Steve was barred, &C
cording to national comm rules, but
COmmy did not ask that the ruling
be enforced after Weeghman had ex-
planned that Yerkes was needed in an
already crippled infeld.
No change will be made in the
scale of prices at the two parks, the
fee being the same as for regularly
games during the league
season. That is another proper move
and indicates the local magnates are

Butler. Such a fleet could not be
built in two years. he added. though
It might he constructed in four.

Rep. Butler said construction eX-
perts Of the navy had told the COM
mittee that the maximum number
Of capital ships that could be laid
down at one time in the United
States was p and that they could be
completed in two years if the skilled
labor could be found. Admiral
Badger thought the armOr output
would not permit such rapid con-
struction and Rep. Butler agreed
saying he had been told "by the man
who sells armOr TO the government"
that the maximum possible output
was $4,000 tons a year. or enough to
equip eight or nine heavy ships.
Chairman Padgett remarked that
the armor manufacturers had told
the investigating committee last year
that they could produce only $4,000
tons annually.

fleet Admiral Badger said he did not

Rep. Kelly questioned Admiral
Badger as to the net result Of the
five year building program advo-
Gated by Pres't Wilson. He asked if
it actually meant any increase what
ever over the old congressional
policy OF two capital ships year.
The admiral was inclined to think
not, but later agreed with a state
ment OF Rep. Galloway that under
the old two-ships-a-year program il
would take eight years to authorize
Is ships and az least II years TO
build them. as against eight years
under the five year plan. Chairman
Padgett said the net result OF the
capital ship program urged by the
administration was to add six battle
cruisers and maintain the old rate
OF building dreadnoughts
Admiral Badger urged. however.
that the arrangement Of the five
year program suggested by the gen
eral board would produce the ships
two or three years before the
administration schedule and without
going beyond the stipulated appro-
priation of S10O.OOO.OOO year for
new construction. Under the
boards plan congress would be ask
ed TO authorize four dreadnaughts
and three battle cruisers this year
instead OF two of each as proposed
by the president.
