Compliments County Officers.

Comptroller General Sawyer spent
Tuesday in the city making settle
ment with the county officers. Mr..
Sawyer said the county affairs were
in excellent shape and he was profuse
in his praises of the treasurer, audi
tor, commissioners and other officials
who handle the county affairs. Mr..
Sawyer said there had been a vast
Improvement in the methods of hand
ling the county affairs and that Dill
lon had good cause to congratulate
herself on her present officers. There
are no outstanding claims against
the county and the county is out of
debt, with the exception of the mon
ey owing on bonds, and good begin
ming has been made in creating a
sinking fund to retire the bonds when
they become due. All claims against
the county have been paid up to date
and the commissioners have a good
balance in the treasury Mr.. Sawyer
left on the afternoon train for Flor
ence.

STATEMENT BY McLAURIN.
Returns from Hospital But Goes
With Daughter to New York.

Pee Dee Advocate
Senator John L. McLaurin return
ed to Bennettsville Saturday in good
physical condition. He finds it ne
cessary to go to New York with his
daughter, Mrs. Charles Sigh, who
has received a message from her
husband, Capt. Sigh. who is at Camp
Mills and who expects to leave for
France shortly. A reporter asked
Senator McLaurin for a statement
in regard to his campaign for Cover
nor and he said: II am leaving my
name on the official ballot SO as to
give an opportunity to tie voters
who are opposed to the kind Of fac
tional politics which makes South
Carolina the laughing stock of the
nation. II I was elected, 1 would at
tempt to end factiodal strife in the
only way that it can be done, the de-
struction OF both factions by the sub
stitution of industrial and economic
issues. believe that the whole pow

will take the crop to pay the debts
incurred in its production. When
the war is over cotton will bring
fabulous prices but those who do
not produce it will reap the profits.

of the hands Of the farmers. This

the campaign and know that 1 am

equipped with the knowledge and

do So"

Rev. Mr.. Chandler offered a yery elo-
quent prayer.
The speeches of the candidates did
not vary from those that have been
made at other places. The candidates
for the minor offices had only eight
minutes and only few of them at
tempted to discuss issues in that short
length of time. The candidates for
governor were given 1S minutes and
they launched into discussion of the
issues of the day.
Hon. Junius T. Lilies, candidate
for lieutenant governor, received an
ovation while Lieut.. Gov. Bethea was
round'y applauded at the beginning

washington, Aug. 5-With an ur-
gent recommendation from Provost

100000 men throughout the coun-
try the administration's man power

Weekly Registrations.
Unless immediate steps are taken

100000. of the 1918 registrants will
be available.
Upon the introduction of the bill.
Chairman Chamberlain, announced
the Senate military committee would
meet tomorrow to consider the bill.
He said he did not think hearings
-FOUR days should be required to re-
port the bill. Chairman Dent, of the
House committee. said since only
members of his committee are in
washington, it was doubtful whether
the bill could be acted upon before
the House reconvenes on August 10.
Would Cut Recess.
Suggestions made on the States
floor by Senator Curtis, of Kansas,
that the Senate abandon its program
OF re-cesses and perfunctory sessions
until August "a if the bill can be
favorably reported by the committee
within few days were endorsed by
Senator Chamberlain. However. Sen
ate leaders now in the city said any
plans to this effect would be held
in allegiance until the committee could
determine just how much time would
be necessary for a thorough discus
sion of the bill.
To Amend Present Bill.
The bill would amend the present
selective service act so as to REQUIRE
the registration of all men between
1S and 20 years and % and As in
elusive. While the total number of
men in the latter classes would total
1O,O2S,973. Gen. Crowder estimates
the total number who would be eligi-

es show that 3,171,771 would regis

was about as good as the average
mans. At this point Mr.. Lane launch
/ ed an attack upon the Senatorial
candidates opposing DR.. David. He
read the correspondence which appear
ed in the Dillon Herald over the sig
natures of r. S. Rogers. L. NJ. Rogers,
and P. L. Bethea; and explained in
detail the conversation that he had
with these gentlemen. He asked the
people If those letters were not alb
solute and unqualified on the part of
their authors to keep out of the SEN
atorial race. He said that he SO con-
strued 1t and they were treating their
agreement as scrap of paper" to be
torn up when it failed to suit their
purpose. He said that he was not
running for Joe P. Lane, that he
cared nothing for the damned little
Office" but that he was running to
show up certain set of men, and
that he was going to do il II il was
IL. his power. He stated that. in ar
ness to L. NJ. Rogers, he would say
that he did try to leave a small loop
hole through which he might ex-
tricate himself and that r. S. Rogers
and P. L. Bethea were depending on
Roy Rogers to get in the race SO they
might have an excuse; but it SEEM
ed that they were afraid Roy might
fall down on them so they got Frank
Page to file his pledge, and then
they all tumbled in. He closed his
speech by stating that he would ap-
preciate every vote given him, but
that he would not be in the race If
the others had stood by their agree
ment.
E. L. Moore, candidate for the
House. was absent. Chairman Fort
read letter from him stating that
he had just undergone an operation
on his ears, and for such reason
could not be at the meeting. He
stated that he had no political ambi-
tions, but he thought that he could
be of assistance to the farmers; he
believes that he can remedy the fer
tilizer conditions by preventing the
mixing of sand and other substances
with the valuable ingredients; and
If he is able to accomplish this one
thing, the saving to the farmer would
be immense.
The first candidate for the Senate,
P. L. Bethea, was next introduced.
He stated that had never been able
to get many votes at Fork, as he was
usually opposed in his races by Roy
Rogers, who received the lions share
at that precinct. He said that he had
no apoligy to make for being in the
race for the Senate and that he was
willing ior the people to judge as to
his rectitude. That the only an
swer he would make to his young
friend Lane was that of st. Paul to
his jailor; do thyself no harm, We
are all here" and he added that he
thought, honestly so. That he yield
ed to no man i'm patriotism but he
did not think all who remained at
home were slackers. The home indus
tries were as essential as those of
the battlefield i'm the winning of a
war, and that the Government had a
