ditions now

The editor Of the Greenwood In
dex attended the opening meeting OF
the campaign at Spartanburg and to
tell who was the leading candidate
for governor actually took note by
the watch of the length of the ap-
plause given each of the candidates.
The editor concludes that Cooper
was the favorite. Others say that
Manning was the favorite and still
others say it was Blease. 1t all de-
pends largely upon the viewpoint and
the feeling of the man who takes note
of the applause and who is his fav-
orite. We call the attention of the
editor of the Press and Banner to the
fact that according to the Spartan
burg papers Gov. Manning carried
Spartanburg again.

seems 10 be a rather hard lick TO q.
least three members OF the NewberEy
delegation. He says he appointed
negroes not knowing they were ne
groes on tn recommendation of the
county legislative officers. The SEN
ator from NewDerry, under date OF
April, l sent long letter to num-
ber of gentlemen in Newberry ex-
planning that Sam Nance was ap-
pointed on the recommendation OF
himself AMI Representatives Mower
and Chapman. We cannot believe
that these gentlemen fooled the gov
ernor or even tried to fool him, and
there must be some mistake about his
not knowing the appointee was
negro. But he is just as worthy to-
day as he was when he was appoint
ed and has done nothing since to
make him unworthy that We have
heard, and yet the governor says ne
has revoked the commission OF all ne
gro notaries. Why?

The Anderson Daily Mail of Satur-
day carries the following paragraph
in reporting the speech of Gov Man
ming at the campaign meeting that
day:
Some one asked about his appoint
ment of negroes as notary public.
Appointed some, on recommendation
of county delegations not knowing
they were negroes. He has revoked
these commissions and will not ap-
point any more negroes to Office"
The Greenville News staff CORES
pondent on this pant of the speech
says:
when the governor concluded
there arose a chorus of shouts for
Blease, "Harrah for Coley," was
heard all about the stand. Mr. Man
ming smilingly took his seat, and then
in answer to question, explained
that there were no negro notaries in
the State today; that upon the rec
ommendation of Newberry legislative
officers he had appointed one, but
later finding that the notary was un-
worthy, had revoked his commission,
and also the commission of certain
other notaries he had issued"

1t is gratifying to see that all the
candidates for governor are placing
the campaign on a high plane and are
not indulging in personalities, but
are discussing issues, and of course
the records of those who have rec
ords to discuss. We hope it may
continue that way to the end.

Some Gsteen dreary years ago,

Twas some time in the fall.
My mother did not like it much,
Said times were hard and blue,
But papa thought it was the best,
And made Red Man true.
Now, just about one year ago,
When grain was in the head

And forced to stay in bed.

For nothing but regrets.
All gone to rack, with nothing left
To pay our honest debts.

VAN PELT ON
GOOD ROADS

There are those who know, or at least
who ought to know whether what they
say is true or not, who claim that Char
leyoix County, in many ways, is the
best county in the State of Michigan.
Surely, the possibilities are very great.
We have within the confines of our
county, Pine Lake, one of the finest
lakes in Michigan, and on account of
its irregular shape, with the South Arm
running to East Jordan, it is of unusual
beauty.
In order to intelligently study and
understand conditions and possibilities
of Charlevoix County, one should have
map of the State OF Michigan before
him as an aid to the thought and
answer to the question, What is the
cause for all this loud talk regarding
the best county in the state. We
have many other good counties and
why should Charlevoix County set it.
self up as being the best, or having
prospects greater and more far reach
ing than any others. II is because the
natural agricultural resources and
positively the best climate that make if
so. 1t can duplicate all of the most i'm
portant products of any state in the
Union, with the exception of cotton.
We have three flourishipg cities, all
having fine harbors with dock facilities
sufficient for any enterprise and low
freight rates, each city being well sup
piled with railroads and with good
prospects of having more when the
time comes for the revival of railroad
building. There is fine roadway all
around Pine Lake and all we need is
good roads to make it perfect and to
give it national reputation With
these good roads, the time is not far
distant when many Of the very beauti-
full building sites along this drive will
be occupied by large, substantial
houses; at least this is borne out by the
development of many other places that
have no such advantages as Charlevoix
County.
1t would be well TO remember that
two hundred million dollars worth Of
United States money has been spent
yearly by her tourists going abroad and
great deal of this money will be spent
in other places. Now, why not prepare
for these people, take a few of their
millions and profit thereby? They
want the goods we have to sell, but
they want them put up in nice pack
ages. Here endeth the second lesson.

SUN BROS. CIRCUS
BEING BILLED FOR
|. SATURDAY, JULY p.

Possibly no better show will appear
here, than the Great Sun Brothers
Worlds Progressive Aggregation,
which is scheduled to exhibit at East
Jordan on Saturday, July 22nd.
The travelling tented show is today
Americas most popular form of out
door amusement and it is a perennial
favorite with all classes Of people. The
Sun Brothers Show for this season is a
great, big, first class exhibition, with
many stunning new features, fine hor-
ses, strange animals and host of for
eign and American novelty displays.
The largest tents ever erected in this
town are employed by this show.
Everything is done for the great COM
fort of all visitors and seats are pro-
vided for all patrons.
The newly added trained animal
tourney is this season a new attraction,
and includes a bunch of amazingly
trained lions, tigers, leopards, kan
geroos, elephants, babboons, etc.
Two complete performances will be
offered here, afternoon and evening.
The usual free outdoor exhibitions
will be given at noon-time, on the show
grounds, and are free to the public.

SPINACH

SPINACH-A proper noun, proper
fruit, and one that gives you health to
boot; you boil it, strain it, serve il hot
and put cover on the pot tho spin
ach may prolong your life, don't load it
in you with a knife; it makes you
healthy, makes you strong, it fills you
full of hope and song, it fills you full
of courage, and-it fills you full Of
grit and sand; with spinach you are
bound to win-be sure and have it on
your chin, for spinach is the mode this
year in presidential racing gear; don't
mind the cheap and common jokes of
bald-faced, boyish, beardless blokes; if
they quit shaving just for sport, their
.whiskers wouldn't hide a wart; the big
gest men are raising crops of spinach
served with mutton chops; if you aim
high, get in the game and grow some
grogans, wild or tame; you need your
razor not one bit, your wife will open
cans with it; take this advice and raise
brush and it will save you much in
cush; get busy, for twill pay, by gosh!
you've only half face to wash!

Camp Ferris, June Ex-Governor
Ferris was deeply touched by the sight
of so many men in uniform, and by the
reception which they gave him. He
referred repeatedly during the day and
evening to the fine physical condition
of the men and their evident courage
and good spirits.
81 haven't very much money with
me-" he said, but would give s25 for
a panorama picture of those men as
they clustered about the bandstand and
looked up into my face. | never talk
ed to a more responsive audience.
That gathering today was historic. Let
us hope and pray that this war will not
be a serious one, but if it is, the 9th
day of June, 1916, becomes historic,
for the men who are on this camp
grounds are the ones who did not wait
for urging or compulsion, but answer
ed their country's call instantly, cheer
fully and willingly.

because am not for war more strong

war when the sufferings of the women
and children left at home impressed me
very deeply. don't want to wish for
such suffering But this job which is
on our hands is necessary now, and
we must do it properly. So am with
YOU men body and soul"
Handling the rifle in offense con-
sumed the Wednesday morning drill
hour. The companies, as skirmi5hers,
threw themselves prone on the turf and
at the command of their officers fixed
their sights, aimed at an object some
where in the front and snapped them
at command.
For the reason that there is simply
no time for it, there has been no prac-
tice with ball ammunition. The com
pany commanders are so overcrowdeC

the mere rudiments of soldering, thai

for Tuesday nights made up of Privates
Roy Bergman, Max Brazil, Oris Car

The men who answered sick call
Tuesday morning were Private John

Tuesday morning the whole company
turned out and marched down to the

put around the hydrant, thus doing
away with muddy spot. The com

vaccine has not been vaccinated for

Camp Ferris, July 3.-It is probable
that the Michigan National Guard was
never buster than it is right now. There
are many things to do and little time in
which to do them. Typhoid inocula-
ton vaccination against smallpox, the
counting of all ordnance property that
is, rifles, haversacks, canteens, picks
and shovels, canteens and similar
articles of equipment, all are in full
swing. Thousands of new clothing
came in Sunday and this must be check
ed over, sorted and issued to the re-
cruits who are still clad in civilian
clothing and to the older soldiers whose
uniforms are worn out.
Other thousands of pieces of new
ordnance are also here, still in their
original boxes, are stacked up in the
cement hall and are ready for issue,
but it will take some time and lot OF
routine and receipting before they gel
into the hands OF the men. And on top
of all that, the physical examinations
are not over in fact, the entire 33rc

Just the sort of food that men living in
the open should have to keep them in
good health and to maintain their
strength.

esting and not hard. The men are
working all the time, but at something
they like to do. And they feel that
they are learning and accomplishing.
| enjoy it fine" Mrs. Nutson is also
pleased with camp.
The Fourth was observed, after a
fashion, after all. At reveille, there
was a sputter of firecrackers all over
the brigade, and consequent yells of
"Rockies" from the older men. During
the forenoon General Kirk sent out an
order that there would be no afternoon
drill, and this helped little. However,
as there was rifle practice administer
ing of typhoid serum, smallpox vaccin-
alton, the counting of property and
ordinance stores, and various other
little things, there little idling among
the officers. Many of the men were
busy, too. The day was warm and
sunny, and bathing in the lake was
very enjoyable.
In the "baby" company OF the 33rd,
referring now to length of service only,
Capt. Henry l.. Winters was compelled
to 90 on guard Sunday, and leave the
entertainment OF the many visitors to
the other officers and the men. Others
who were on guard were, Corp. Blaine
Harrington, and Privates, Miles and
Harvey Moore. The guard detail from
Company for Monday night are Sergt.
Holiday, Privates Frank Atkins and
Adolphus Allard.
The only man in Company on sick
report is Clyde Strong, whose back is
injured. He is doing finely, however,
There was battalion inspection Sunday;
otherwise the day was much ap-
preciated holiday. The quarters were
fairly inundated with welcome East
Jordan visitors. The excursion brought
scores, and there were about so cars
which made the drive. All told, there
were about 300, including the mayor
and commissioners of the city. Prac.
tically every man said: "If there is
anything we can do for the company al
any time, call on us, whether you are
here, on the border or in Mexico, and
we will do our best to come across"
The spirit manifested was so cordia
that everyone was pleased and touched
and there was a renewed determine
ton to deliver the goods, as the com
pany has been delivering in the past
to the satisfaction of Gen. Kirk and the
regimental commander.

later, as company commanders may
secure a reorganization where the men
involved are valued non-coms, with
slight defects. Generally speaking,
however, there is little chance unless
the defect is of the eyes and the man
habitually wears glasses. There is a
possibility he may get through on re-
examination, But if heart or lungs is
affected, or man has hernia, his case
is hopeless. Bad teeth are also suf-
ficient cause for rejecting him, especial
ly if he is shy molars, and the molars
that he has are not opposite.

''WETS" LOSE AGAIN
Three Federal Judges Refuse Injunc-
ton Against Prohibition Law.

Constitutionality of the statewide
prohibition law, as it applies to inter-
state commerce and the rights of citi-
zens, was fought out before Federal
Judges Cushman, Gilbert and Rud-
kin in the district court at Tacoma
Thursday. 1t ended in another vic
tory for the "drys."
The hearing was on the application
of the Seattle Brewing & Mailing
Co., filed last Friday before the law
became effective. for a temporary in
junction against Attorney General
Tanner, to prevent his enforcing the
law in stopping the manufacture Of
beer and requiring the expectation or
destruction by January II of more
than $4,000 worth of beer now in
the Seattle brewery. The injunction
was denied.
The petition also asked that the
injunction be made permanent, and
that the prohibition law and the state
initiative and referendum constitu-
tional amendment be declared null
and void. Now that an injunction was
refused, it is said appeal will be
taken directly to the United States
supreme court.
Meanwhile the "wets" have filed
with the state supreme court q petit
tion asking for a re-hearing Of the
case in which that tribunal recently
gave a unanimous decision upholding
the dry" law.
