All present indications r that
there will be no county political
campaign conducted in Anderson
county this year. Even the candi-
dates, do not appear to favor the
idea of having a campaign, and the
voters are not loathe to state that
they do not favor the idea. The
general opinion appears to exist that
the voters can decide the question
of who they wish to cast their bal
lots for without hearing the candi-
dates do any mud-slinging on the
stump. 1t is possible that one meet
ing will be arranged to be held in
Anderson on some Saturday, but
with this exception, it is not proba-
BILE that any public meeting of the
candidates will take place.-Tribune

William Elliott, food administrator
i for South Carolina, dealers will not
be permitted to sell sugar, fol-

observed. Exception is made only
when sugar is desired for canning

All the old-tlmers who are cx-
perts in shutting off water are in
clined to be skeptical when told that
there Is a new and up-to-date
process OF cemenung wells. and es-
peciallv wells that are leaking be

man has the nerve 10 70 ahead and

sion his own ideas in regard 10 the
use Of cement IN oklahoma, Kansas
and Texas.
q. W. Mcpherson, formerly chief
Of the oil and gas division OF the
United States bureau OF mines, who
has recently opened offices in TULSA,
is achieving good results His
process is recommended 10y practl-
cal operators and oil men having
charge OF production in the Cushing
field. where Mr.. Mcpherson has
demonstrated what he can do
"By the application Of engineer
ing as well as practical methods,
not only are we saving the oil pro-
ducers thousands OF barrels OF oil in
the Cushing and Healdton districts,
but the production OF gasoline from
Casinghcdd gas has been more than
doubled and the lifting expenses
have been cut in half on wells
treated by this process" says Mr
Mcpherson.
The bureau OF mines in Wash
inCton has recently issued a bull
letin on the subject OF cementinG
wells and The chances are that the
bureau got its ideas entirely from
Mr.. McPherson's work in the fields
in the oklahoma district. He IS
practical man with many years eX-
perience and more than all is on
the Job and is always ready to take
on work where many OF the old
timers would pass 1t up.
