This spring when / learned that
there was concerted effort all over
South Carolina to get me into the
race for governor as Blease candi-
date, l declined. I knew that could
not under any circumstances, allow
my name to he used in connection
with this man who was traitor to
his party and an outspoken enemy OF
the government in Washington.
The public will recall my corrres-
pondence with certain Blease mem
Eers of the Anderson county delega-
ton. in which I refused to ally NY
self with Blease
I knew I had great work ahead
of me-a work that was bigger than
factional politics-and refused to
ally myself with either the Blease or
anti-Blease faction, choosing rather
to enter the campaign as a free man
and a supporter Of principles rather
than 'isms.
This letter was probably put into
the hands of Cooper by Aull at the
request OF Blease. for secret use
against me.
Cooper doubtless thought that
BIease and AuH we're helping him;
but their real purpose was to get
Cooper to do their dirty work, as ha
has, knowing full we'll that when [
learned of it, 7 would expose Coop
er's sneaking treachery and destroy
him politically. They hoped by this
scheme to destroy me, and to use me
as a means of destroying Cooper,
leaving the field to Richards, their
only hope of power.
The scheme has failed. The treach-
cry has served only to unmask Coop
er, and has given me the opportunity
to expose Blease at an earlier date
than I expected.
What reward John Aull hoped for
do not know. feel sorry for
him, for he is good boy when away
from the malign influence of Bleass.
I expect to join the campaign on
Thursday.

Dear McLaurin: I was amazed a.

fairs for over 20 years and a very

its affairs in South Carolina. AS

are allowed to sprout in the cellars
and are ultimately thrown away. The
potato flour which can be made from
them keeps well. so by taking time by
the forelock and making the surplus
stock Of old potatoes into flour before
they spoil you avoid the waste Of valu-
able food material.
How to Make Potato Flour.
It is easy to make the potato flour
Wash the potatoes. boil until tender
and remove the skins. Force. while
still hot. through a potato ricer on to
drying trays. These trays may be
made of Stats of wood covered with
cloth or wire screening held In wooden
frames; indeed, any tray that will let
the air circulate freely from under
meath as we'll as around the tray may
be used. Clean cheesecloth should be
spread over 1t before ricing the pota.
toes on the tray. Place the loaded
trays in the blast Of air from an cleo
tric fan, If you have one, or in a warm
oven with the door ajar. When COM
pletely dry. grind to the desired fine
ness in hand mill such MS Is found in
many homes for grinding home grown
grain. A coffee mill may be used, or q
food chopper using the nut knife. II
these do not grind fine enough, rolling
with a rolling pin and sitting several
times will help.
1t takes three pounds of unpeeled
potatoes to make little over half q
pound Of potato flour, SO If you have
to buy potatoes you should reckon
costs carefully. If you have potatoes
that will go to waste otherwise, save
them in the form of potato flour
You can use either the commercial
, potato -four or the homemade product
to greatly reduce the use Of wheat
flour In cakes. cookies and breads.
A few recipes for the use Of potato
flour are given below.
