FatallyInjured.

Orangeburg, Aug. 16.-Mr. J. Rob
ert O'Cain, of this county was fatally
injured here Wednesday when he fell
from a Southern passenger train
near the station. From what could
be learned Mr.. O'Cain had gone to
the station with relative who was
leaving on one of the early morning
trains. It seems that he boarded the
train, said to have been No. Is for
Columbia, and attempted to get off
after it had started and was going at
considerable speed. In some way
he fell under the car and was terri
bly, mangled.
Mr.. O'Cain was about 40 years old,
He was we'll known and highly re-
spected citizen and had many friends
throughout this section who regret
very much to learn Of his untimely
death.

my Dear Mr.. Presidents:

band of wf be not reelected to the Senate and the
House of Representatives because of their obstruconst
tactics on matters of vital Importance in the conduct Of the
Whie feel confident Of the defeat Of Cole L. Blease
for the Senate to succeed the late Senator an feel
that expression from yo for the benefit of the people
of South Carolina would help to make his defeat overwhe
ming You doubtless familiar with the savage attacks
made by Blease upon you and upon the administration
several months after America entered the in which,
among other things he declared that the blood of every
American soldier killed foreign soil would be unwar
ranted sacrifice Of American manhood chargeable to you
He is now telling his followers that he is in favor Of third
term for you and he will Loyalty support you he is elect

lutte variance with his whole and his whole record
and out of Office Even late June of this year, in
public speech he dared the federal government to take the
bride off during the months Of July and August and allow
free discussion of the and it's causes should be
very glad if Nou could find it consistent to favor with
an expression for publication to the desrabity OF the
defeat of Blease His opponent Mr. Dal is loyal and

INDIANA'S LARGEST TREE.
Seven Hundred Dollars Paid for Pop
lar Near Salem.

A huge poplar tree which has
stood for centuries on the farm known
as the Cary Morris farm in Washing,
ton county, Indiana, near Salem, be-
lieved to be the largest tree in 1ndl'
ana, has been sold. A lumber com
pany at Orleans is the purchaser and
the price paid was 500.
The tree is 80 feet in circumfer-
ence at the base and measures 13 IL
feet just below the first limb, which
is 70 feet from the ground. The tree
is one of the landmarks of Indiana
and thousands of people in the years
gone by have gone to see it.
When the tree is felled it will be
necessary to procure special saws and
other equipment such as is used in
the redwood forests in California.
There is no mill in Indiana which
has the capacity to saw the butt log
which will be ten feet in diameter at
the base. Experienced lumbermen
estimate that $4,000 to $4,000 feet
of lumber can be cut from the tree.

s. G.. BEHIND.
Only Fifth of w. S. S. Quota Yet
Bought.

Charleston. - Neglect on the
part of those who signed pledges dur
ing the June w. S. S. campaign may
result in South Carolina making a
discreditable showing in the w. s..
S. campaign, and R. G. Rhett, state
director of War Savings, has called
upon the men and women of the
Palmetto State to keep faith with
sthe government by promptly re-
deeming the pledges which they made
and on which the government is con-
fidently relying. While the sales
reports for June and July were fair,
the reports so far for August indi-
cate that the people are not buying
as many war savings stamps as they
should.
The Palmetto State is. not doing it's
share in the w. S. S. campaign. AL
though over half the year has gone
by, the State has not purchased
over one-ffth of it's quota, and it is
of great Importance that the people
buy stamps intensively from now on.
Those who can do so, and it is >believ-
ed that >fke majority can, are asked
to buy more stamps than they pledg-
ed. and the hundreds of thousands
who were not reached in the pledge
campaign are asked to buy the
stamps anyway. The other Southern
States-the entire country. in fact
are making progress that should spur
the Palmetto State to better efforts.

Bethea and Richards in Fisticuff.

Charleston, August 18.-The at
tacks Lieutenant Governor Andrew
J. Bethea, candidate for Governor,
has been making from practically
every stump" in the State since the
Walhalla and Greenville meetings on
the connection of Maj. John G. Rich
ards, his Reform opponent, with
Cole L. Blease eliminated here
yesterday in tisticuff between the
two candidates. Several blows were
passed by each of the belligerents,
but no casualties resulted.
The audience which had dwindled
from about $50 to approximately Is
was not very excited over the Incl
dent. Several Of the crowd, includ-
ing police officer and Sheriff Martin,
rushed on the stage of the Hibern-
ian Hall, where the meeting was
held, and assisted Acting Chairman
Thos. P. Stoney to separate the two
fighters. Although the audience
was exceptionally small, due to the
day meeting, it was demonstrative,
particularly when any one of the
candidates spoke disparagingly Of
the candidacy of Blease. Robert A.
Cooper, candidate for Governor, was
given an ovation when he commenc-
ed his address and the other candi-
dates also were literally applauded.

FALLS TO AMERICANS.
Considerable German Salient Wiped
Out.-Move Begins as Raid.

With the American Army in Lor-
raine, Aug. 1.-THE Americans this
morning captured the village of
Frapelle and eradicated a consider
able German salient in the allied
lines. Prisoners were taken by the
Americans and the Germans evidently
suffered heavy casualties in killed
and wounded.
This sector has been regarded as a
quiet one and today's action began
merely as a raid into the enemy's
positions. The raid was preceded by
e. straight bombardment for few
minutes, followed by a box barrage
that penned the Germans off from
escape.
When the Americans went over the
top to attack at 4:30 o'clock they
succeeded in sweeping all enemy re-
sistance before them and the raid
became an organized attack. The
Germans replied heavily to the
American artillery fire and they also
shelled the entire neighborhood
throughout the day.
The enemy fire which included a
barrage, was Ineffective The Ameri-
cans have occupied the former Ger
man trenches and consolidated them
against counterattacks.

CHALLENGE TO THIS STATE.
Mississippi Goes Over in w. S. Drive
Up to This State Now.

Charleston, Aug. 20.-The State
of Mississippi has challenged South
Carolina. Mississippi has overpledg-
ed it's years quota in the war savings
campaign. Other States have also
oversubscribed their quotas, but Mis-
sissippi is the only other State in the
country which has a colored popula-
tion larger than it's white popula-
ton, as the Palmetto State. A re-
port reaching the South Carolina
War Savings committee shows that
with a quota of s36,230,9O0, Missis-
sippi pledged $36,475,317; whereas,
South Carolina, with a years quota
of $33,00O,O00, pledged only s15,-
100000.
Mississippi's sensational achieve
ment strikingly refutes the claims
of those who state that South Caro-:
lima could never invest s3S,O00,00O
in WIS. S. in one year. This State
is fully as prosperous as Mississippi,
and it's people are certainly as patri-
otic as those of the sister Southern
State. The difference is that the
people of Mississippi are convinced
of the serious Importance of the war
savings movement. That is proven
by the fact that fully IS per cent. Of
the population of Mississippi pledged
themselves to purchase w. S. S. Had
the same proportion of people in this
State pledged themselves, the Pal
metto States showing would have
been fully as good, is the view held
here.
1t is not too late for South Caro-
lima to equal Mississippi's record,
which is matter of pledges. If the
people of this State who signed pledg-
es during the June w. S. S. drive
will faithfully make their pledges
good, and buy even more w. S. S..
than they pledged, and if those who
did not pledge themselves will buy
freely, the Palmetto State maylequal
or exceed Mississippi's final showing
but for the present Mississippi's
feat stands a challenge to South
Carolina.

McLaurin Votes Against Blease.

John L. McLaurin in a letter to
Ashley G. Tobias, Jr., secretary of the
State Democratic committee asking
that his name be left off the official
ballot, expresses himself in respect to
the candidacy of Cole L. Blease, and
thinks that his opinion as private
citizen should have weight. He says:
1T would be a shame and a disgrace
to send man to the senate who has
bitterly attacked Mr.. Wilson person
ally, and who was utterly unable to
appreciate his wonderful breadth of
vision until an unholy desire for Office
caused the scales to fall from his
eyes,.

Purple Vetch Promising New Crop.

Washington, July 20,--Purple vetcn
gives promise of being d valuable adj
dition to the list of crops that can
be grown in the South and the Pa
cific Coast states, where winters are
not severe, according to Farmers
Bulletin 967, just published by the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture. This vetch, which is similar
to the common and hairy varieties
but is less hardy, was brought into
the United States by the Office of
Foreign Seed and Plant introduction
in 1899 from Italy. In California
where experimental work has been
conducted, it has proved one Of the
best, if not the best, crop for use
as green manure in orchards, and il
commercial paintings it has beea
thought well of by the farmers who
have used it. In western Oregon ana
Western Washington it can be grown
successfully as seed crop, the yields
averaging from y to Is bushels al
acre. II has not bee sufficiently test
ed in the Southern states to deter
mne definitely its value in localities
where common vetch is now being

IF KIDNEYS AND

Take Salts to Flush Kidneys and
neutralize Irritating
Acids.

/ Kidney and Bladder weakness result

der, where it often remains to irri-
tate and inflame, causing burning.
sCalding sensation, or setting up an
Irritation at the neck of the bladder,
cbliging you to seek relief two or
two times during the night. The suf-
ferrer Is in constant dread, the wa
ter passes sometimes with scalding
sensation and is very profuse; again,
there is difficulty in voiding it.
! Bladder weakness, most folks call
l., because they can't control urina-
ton. While it is extremely annoying
and sometimes very painful, this is
really one Of the most simple ailments
10 overcome. Get about four ounces
lot Jad Salts from your pharmacist
and take tablespoonful in glass Of
water before breakfast, continue this
for two or three days. This will neu-
Itrahze the acids in the urine so it no
longer is a source of irritation to the
.tladder and urinary organs which then
act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and is used by thousands of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caused
by uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is
splendid for kidneys and causes no
