The Attorney-General's office
handed down the following opinion
this week:
In rural precincts the registra-

home or place designated by the
registration officer. To permit the
books to be carried from place to
place would probably result in bar
ring some who applied for registra-
tion from signing and if this were
done it would probably invalidate
the election. Therefore the books
must be kept at the place of regis
tration even though it may work
hardship on some voters"

PUTS COTTON CROP
AT 11,511,o00 BALES
Government Report Makes Another
Reduction in Estimated Yield
for tho Year.

Washington, Dec. 11-Another re-
duction in the estimated size of this
wears cotton crop was recorded to-
day in the Department of Agricul-
lures final report, putting the pro
duction at IL, 511, 900 equivalent 500
pound bales, exclusive of linters.
That is 10000 bales less than fore
cast after the lowest condition re-
port in October.
Indications at the beginning of the
growing season were that a crop OF
approximately 14,266,0oO bales
would be produced but storms and
insects wrought havoc with the
growing plants as the season pro-
gressed. The acreage planted was
the fourth largest on record.
The average price pound paid to
producers. of cotton on December,
was 1876 cents. At that price the
seasons crop is worth $1,079,351,6 SIG
exclusive of the value of Inter cotton
and seeds.
The record crop was grown in
1914 when 16,134,930 bales were
produced.

FOREcASTING THE ELECTION

When Mr.. Hughes was nominated
by the republicans for the presidency
the public instantly seemed disposed
to judge him by the good service he
did in 1905 in unearthening the cor
ruption existing in the big insurance
companies, a corruption by the way,
that had been turned to the benefit of
the republican party in national elec-
tions. His record as governor of
New York was also pointed out rs an
indication that the democrats had the
fight of their lives on their hands to
keep Mr.. Hughes out of the White
House. -.
The low partisan plane on which
the republican candidate pitched his
campaign came as a distinct surprise
and shock to the voters of the country
who had sufficient independence to
rise above it, and Hughes was reveal
ed in a light that the public at large
had never suspected.
But close political observers in
Washington, some of them at least,
knew the real Hughes, and they were
perhaps the only ones who were not
takn by surprise by developments
subsequent to the nomination.
During last June, just after the re-
publican national convention made
its nominations, Congressman Aiken
in an interview in The Intelligencer
called attention to the partisan dis
position of Mr.. Hughes and predicted
that Wilson would win. ... -
president Wilson will win," said
Mr.. Aiken, "because his administra-
ton has enacted more remedial legis-
lation for the masses of the people
than all the republican administra-
tions since the civil war. The repub-
|licans regularly declared that they
favored an income tax law, but their
party being favored by Wall street,
they never put such a law on the
statute books. The present demo-
cratic administration passed the law,
and the monied interests now pay
more than $100,00Q,000 into the
treasury every year. This country
never had q real currency law until
the administration passed one, and
nova panic is impossible. Farm pro-
ducts are bringing good prices and
will continue to do so. Before we ad-
journ this session splendid rural
credits law will be upon the statute
books" &.
Speaking of Mr.. Hughes, Mr.. Aiken
declared that he was "a partisan
judge and the whole country should
give thanks next Thanksgiving day
for the elimination of Hughes and
Roosevelt. Justice Hughes seems to
have discovered that the country de-
clared in favor of 'Americanism'
when the declaration of independence
was adopted" :,
Thanksgiving day has rolled around
and the prediction has come true, and
we are very, very thankful for the
permanent elimination of Hughes
and Roosevelt"

SOMETHING FROM
START TO FINISH

Col. G. P. Browne, Of the Ander-
SON Daily Mail, is nothing, II ne Is
not good editor and dead game
sport. In a letter to the editor OF
this paper he writes:
"I enjoyed the short stay IN your
city during the fair, and 80 did the
others. We started out for an out
ing and we had it. I am still holler-
ing for Cotton Patch, and if he, or
she as the case may be, runs an.
other race am going to be there II
I have to stop a plow to get off,"
It may be of interest to Col.
Browne and other readers of this
paper to know that the crop was
better in Union and other points than
in Abbeville, where the seasons were
not just right for good "yield."

HOW INDIANA PROTECTS
HER GRAVEL ROADS

The unusually extensive deposits
of good gravel for roadbulldlng
which occur in Indiana have led to
the construction of many miles OF
excellent gravel roads in that State.
A gravel, road is almost as quickly
destroyed by heavy hauling as IS an
earth road, when it is wet, and the
legislature has accordingly passed
= an unusual wet-weather law. AT
such times any person hauling more
than $500 pounds on tires less than
8 inches wide, more than 3,OOo
pounds on 5000 pounds on 3 to 4
inch tires, more than $500 pounds
on 4 to 5-inch tires, and more than
$500 pounds on tires inches or
over, is liable to a fine of $5. to
$50. for each load hauled.
: Such law in itself is not likely
to be very effective, so the statute
also gives the local road officials po-
lice power to arrest any offender
against this law, and to encourage
such arrests the: official must be paid
q fee of 81. for each person he ar
rests who: is convicted. This law is
directed against damage to the
roads through misuse, but many
roads are damaged by neglect as well
and so the Indiana lawgivers have
provided that any local road official
who does not maintain the bridges
and highways in his charge in as
good condition as the means at his
disposal permit, shall be fined from
SIS to $100. And in the interests Of
safety the Indiana law directs every
owner Of q horse and every rider Of
q horse taking part in horse race
on the public roads to be fined from
SIS to $50. Another law forbids any
Canada thistle to grow on the road
side to a greater height than 6 in
ches, and directs that any road Of
ficer who permits violation of this
act shall be fined not over on dol
lar for the first offense and not
over ten dollars for each subsequent
offense. .... '

memorate this day. May all Christen-
dom unite in mighty force to stop
this ungodly European conflict, and
say as the heavenly host sang, "Peace
on earth, good will toward men," for
we are sad indeed, at the thought OF
thy children who today are killing
each other in the terrible war that Is
being waged. In pity forgive them.
Oh, Heavenly Father, bring them and
their rulers to a full realization OF
the sinfulness Of war-that those who
have caused It may cry to thee for
peace. May they get glimpse Of the
cross In its full meaning, and profit
by the sacrifice made by thy Son for
the worlds redemption.
Our Father, may the world become
Christianized from all other religions
and philosophers, not merely in name,
but in the spirit Of true, Christian
brotherhood. Oh Lord, let us all who
fail to appreciate this great gift which
thou gavest to the world be 30 con-
science-sricken that they will at once
cease from their ingratitude, and ir-
reverence and depart from the error
Of their ways. May they become ad-
vocates Of the Loving Master, who, as
the perfect man, said to all mankind,
Except ye be converted and become
as little children, we shall not enter
the kingdom Of heaven"
Dear Father. we rejoice, with thee.
for the hearts that Christmas will
make glad, for the little children to
whom Christmas brings SO much Joy.
Also we pray thee for those bereft Of
loved ones on Christmas day to whom
this season brings painful remem-
brance. Console all that mourn the
loss Of loved ones. Comfort us, o
Lord, with q heavenly vision and pre-
pare US to meet them in the holy
city. Give grace to the dying, cheer
to the sick and lonely, encourage the
unfortunate and disheartened Take
all bitterness and hatred from our
hearts and plant within us q true
brotherhood. Give food to the hun
cry and raiment to the poorly clad.
Help us all to find thee as our Brother
and Friend, our Comforter and Sa-
vior, and the giver Of life everlasting.
We ask it all in thy holy name.

AFTER THE PRUNING IS DONE
Carefully Gather Up and Burn All
Branches and Twios - Cover
Wounds to Prevent Decay.

1t is best, after the pruning opera
tons are over, to-:
1. Gather up and remove from the
orchard all branches and twigs that
have been cut off. Burn them. They
afford homes for the diseases and the
insects that will attack your trees II
the rubbish is left on the ground.
2. Cover the wounds with q coat Of
good lead paint. This helps to keep
out the water and prevent disease and
decay.
3. Spray the trees with a solution Of
one gallon commercial lime-sulphur to
nine gallons of water. Spraying just
after pruning reduces the cost of ap-
plying the material, as there is less
brush to cover than at other times.
Moreover, it is just the right season
for the lime-sulphur spray.
