HIGHLAND FAIR.

Owing to the lateness Of the season
and the inclement weather, the live
stock exhibit at Highland fair which
was held on Saturday was small, but
the stock shown made up In quality for
the scarcity Of animals.
Probably the most attractive feature
of the fair was the exhibit of the boys
and girls' clubs who had some excep-
tionally fine products on display. Their
exhibits which varied from needle work
to farm products. showed the great
enthusiasm Of our younger generation
in this vicinity and reflected great credit
on County Agent Mclaughlin and Mise
Ssville, who have had the clubs In
charge.

The Unit Rule to Govern.

The act Of the legislature creating
three additional judgeships for the
court of appeals has caused many to
inquire II the plurality vote would
elect or would the unit rule be ap-
piled, In order that everyone may be
clear on the proposition, the chairman
of the state Democratic executive
committee has ruled that the unit
rule will govern in the primary which
is provided for as set out in rule six
of the rules governing the approach-
ing primary.
Rule six reads as follows
Candidates for governor and other
statehouse offices. including justices
of the supreme court and appellate
court judges. who receive. respective
ly. the highest number OF votes in
each county shall be considered to
have carried that county and entitled
TO the full vote of such county ON the
county unit basis in the convention
hereafter prescribed"

An Era of Publicity.

Advance information is to the effect
that more publicity wiz be given mere
things during the coming fall and win
ter than ever before in the history
Of this country. In othe- words the
time has come when we have to turn
on the light and let things shine
in order to convince the public that
they are genuine, truly and wisely
says the Augusta Chronicle.
The merchant who proposes to pur-
sue a parsimonious plan is adopting
method that will keep him in the
background for all time to come. The
town merchant. or the town, that has
decided to curtail advertising is just
as sure to be marooned on a sort
of commercial desert as If they had
already failed.
We are not writing this with any
intention to brighten the timid or to
scare those who have heretofore been
bashful or afraid to let their names
be put into print. The American pub
lie is going to be given all the infor-
nation that is obtainable, about the
best goods that are to be offered for
sale and those who cannot tell about
the things they have for sale will not
sell many.
This Is essentially true of national
ly advertised goods and it is getting
merchant Putting it in another way.
we say In terse language that the
merchant who will derive the most
satisfactory results will be the mer-
chant who handles advertised goods
and who also advertises. No amount
of knocking and complaint about
town will Offset the delinquency of the
merchant who fails to advertise.
When you put it down in black
and white and tell the public just
exactly what to expect 1t is taken as
an indication that you have faith in
your store and believe in the goods
you have to offer. Unless you are
in position to manifest just such an
enthusiasm as this you can hardly
expect a cordial response to your APP
peal for trade.
The proper medium and judicious
use of advertising is going to be more
productive of results during the next
year than ever before in the history
of the south. The farmers and the
industrial workers of the south will
have more money to spend in the
next twelve months than they ever
had before and there is no doubt
but that those who plan to reap a har
vest will do SO largely through the
publicity work and other advertising
advantages which are at their dis
posal. This statement will so unchal-
lenged by anyone who is thoroughly
converssnt with the situation.

ASSAULTING THE STATES.

4
In nothing else has Mr.. Hughes
more fully disclosed himself as 100
per cent a candidate" than in his 20
sition that woman's suffrage should be
anee1ed by an amendment to the
Federal constitution permitting all OF
the women in all Of the states TO vote.
He said in his speech at Portland,
Oregon, we cannot deal with our
government successfully If we think
that a great centralized government
can take care OF what is essentially
local.; but Mr.. Hughes is attempt
ing TO do that very thing, because GER
tain women claim that they can de.
liver 100000 votes to him as a re-
suit of his position
Wisely the trainers of the constitu.
ton left the extension and regulation
of the franchise to states. If the
Federal government should be vested
with the power to extend and regulate
the franchise the entire structure of
American government would be chang
ed and the greatest Capitalization of
power would result.
The Federal government is one of
delegated and enumerated powers.
The constitution says THE powers
not delegated TO the United States
by the constitution. nor prohibited to
1t by the states, are reserved to the
states respectively, or to the people"
This undoubtedly means that politi-
cal authority Flows from the people
to the Federal government. and not
from the Federal government to the
people.
AS the New Yorw World points out,
''if the people of a state have any
fundamental right whatever, that
right is to prescribe the terms and
conditions of voting" Yet Mr., Hughes
would deprive the states of that right
and bestow it upon central govern
ment already too powerful and al
ready the usurper OF too many of the
rights of the states. II the state Is
striped Of the power to fix the qualifi-
cations for voting, the dread spectre
of negro suffrage in the south will
become an incarnate reality. The
south will never consent to a reversion
to the conditions which held Anglo
Saxon civilization by the throat in the
black days OF Reconstruction.
Does anybody believe that this for
mer member of the highest judicial
tribunal in the world is sincere in his
position in this matter? Is it not
the veriest political claptrap, designed
TO catch the votes OF the women in the
suffrage states?
In the United States. woman's suf
frage will be established by state
action and not by the mandate of the
government That Is the way
that Wilson advocates and that is the
way that win prevail.
