OFFICIAL DECLARATION RESULT
Of Second Primary Election Held in
OcOnee on Sept. ii.

The Oconee County Democratic
Executive Committee met Thursday
of last week and heard the various
questions that had been raised by
citizens concerning the conduct Of
the election. 1t was the decision of
the committee that the law does not
contemplate the numbering of the
ballots cast, this practice tending to
destroy the secrecy Of the ballot and
making 1t possible, should such be
undertaken, to show how each voter
voted in the election. For this reason
the entire vote cast at the Westmin-
ster precinct, where the used tickets
were numbered the same as the de-
tachable stubs, was eliminated from
the final count. This elimination,
however, did not change the result in
the county as a whole.
The total vote received by the sew
eral candidates, with the vote Of the
Westminster precinct eliminated, Is
given below, and these figures were
given as the official vote cast:

Cotton WareIlo Iso Meetings. 2

On Cotton Day" there assembled
at Walhalla about four hundred far.gs
mers, who voted Unanimously to hold
cotton for fair price.
The only means for holding cot
ton properly is by storing in ware.
houses where the cotton Is insured
up to its market valuo all the time
and where 1t is protected from the
weather, and whore the warehouse
receipt serves as security for obtain
ing needed loans to pay off debts. :.
Fortunately, since that meeting,
at least two communities and one
town have practically solved their
warehouse problems. The chairman
OF the warehouse committee at Cross
| Roads, f. P. Bruce, has made an ex-
cellent start toward getting ware
| house there; the chairman of the
| committee appointed at q recent
meeting at Keowee school, j. l.. Kell,
has made good start with his COM
mittee, which consists Of representa-
| tive farmers Of both Oconee Creek
and keowee sections, who are COM
bining to build a warehouse near tho
gin Of Charlie Owens.
And the town which has taken the
| steps toward getting warehouse space
is Walhalla. A committee composed
nf three farmers-A. l.. Ellison, ".
A. Moss and w. n. Alexander-ap-
pointed at the meeting in Walhalla
| on Friday night, have arranged with
Baylis w. Harrison to operate the
Werner tobacco factory building as a
| warehouse, which will be entered in
the State Warehouse System.
Several Meetings to be Held.
In accordance with a resolution
adopted at Walhalla on Cotton
! Day. Sept. goth, committee OF
three were to be appointed by the
County Cotton Association officials
at various places in the county where
1t is likely that warehouses would be
built, these committees to cooperate
with the agricultural agent in get
ting warehouses built.
In accordance with this resolution
meeting will be held for the COM
mittees of Oak Grove and .Coneross;
at the Oak Grove school house on
Wednesday night, Sep 29th, at 7.3O
o'clock. The committee appointed
for this meeting consists Of j. II.
Barnett, chairman; FIT. Petty, Clint
Barker and w. o. Alexander.
A meeting will be held at Fair
Play on Friday night, Oct. 1st, at
7.30 o'clock. Committee appointed
is w. r. Davis, chairman; l.. B. Mar
EFT and j. S. Glymph.
Committees and all others Of these
communities should urge a represent
tative gathering.

Store Seed Cotton.

Cotton should be stored in the
seed in small seed cotton houses on
the farm and ginning postponed for
severel weeks.
By storing seed cotton and ginning
several weeks later, the quality Of
ginning is better, giving better
sample and better grade, and the
staple increases in length and value.
The leading farmers Of the South
are advocating this system, and they
themselves are practicing It, They
find that 1t pays-and It will yay
! every farmer to do this.
And then, after the cotton Is GIN
ned, 1t should be properly ware
housed. If money is needed on cot
ton which 1T would prove sacrifice
to sell, it can be obtained upon the
warehouse receipt. A warehouse that
keeps the cotton insured up to it's
full market value, and at the same
time protects the cotton from wen-
ther damage, and then furnishes Sc
curity for loans, is exactly what is
| needed at this time particularly. 1t
| is necessity, not luxury.
Fortunately, few of these ware
houses are to be built in some COM
mnnities. Also, arrangements have
been made by committee Of farm
ers, through Mr.. Harrison, to take
over large building in Walhalla
for warehouse. Others will proba-
bly, be needed by farmers and should
be provided where needed.

CHAPTER w.

Fear comes and goes, but mans
love lives with him.-Eastern Prov
erb.
STEAMBOAT was disillusionment--a
city Of rain and plaques and stinks!
The food in barracks was mag
goty. We breathed foul air and
yearned for the streets; yet, once
in the streets, we yearned to be
back in the barracks. Aye, sahib,
we saw more in one day Of the
streets than we thought good for
us, none yet understanding the
breadth OF Ranjoor Singh's wake
fulness. He seemed to US like q
man asleep in good opinion Of him
self-that being doubtless the opin-
ion he wished the German officers
to have Of him.
Part of the German plan became
evident at once, for, noticing our
great enthusiasm at the prospect
OF being sent to Gallipoli, Tugend-
helm. in the hope Of winning praise,
told a German officer we ought to
be paraded through the streets as
evidence that Indian troops really
were fighting with the central pow
ers. The German officer agreed in
stantly, Tusendheim making faces
thus and brushing his mustache
more fiercely upward.
So the first morning after our
arrival we were paraded early and
sent out with a negro band, to
tramp back and forth through the
streets until nearly too weary to
desire life. Ranjoor Singh march
ed at our head looking perfectly
contented, for which the men all
hated him, and beside him went a
Turk who knew English and who
told him the names of streets and
places.
1t did not escape my observation
that Ranjoor Singh was interested
more than a little in the water
front. But we all tramped like
dumb men, splashed to the waist
with street dirt, aware we were be-
ing used to make a mental i'm
preston on the Turks. but afraid
to refuse obedience lest we be not
sent to Gallipoli after all. One
thought obsessed every single man
but me: To get to Gallipoli, and
escape to the British trenches dur
ing some dark night, or perish in
the effort.
As for me, I kept open-minded
and watched. 1t is the non-com-
missioned officers affair to herd
the men for his officer to lead. To
have argued with them or have
suggested alternative possibilities
would have been only to enrage
them and make them deaf to wise
counsels when the proper time
should come. And, besides, l knew
no more what Ranjoor Singh had
in mind than q dead man knows of
the weather. We marched through
the streets, and marched, stared at
silently, neither cheered nor mock
ed by the Inhabitants; and Ranjoor
Singh arrived at his own conclu-
sions. Several times during
that one day he halted us in the

Why Be Skinny?
IT'S Easy to Be Plump,
Popular and Attractive

It's easy to be plump, popular and at
tractive instead of being thin, angular
aud scrawny. Almost invariably the
trouble is due to weak nerves and con-
sequent failure to assimilate your food.
You may eat heartily, but owing to the
lack of nervous energy and Impoverished
blood you don't get the benefit from the
food you eat. All of this can be remedied
very quickly by taking with each meal
a five grain tablet of Blood Iron Phos-
phate. This quickly strengthens the ner-
vols system, enrlches the blood and in
creases its oxygen carrying power, and
in a remarkably short time the average
thin, weak, nervous man or woman be-
gins not only to put on flesh, but also
begins to look and feel better. Sleep,
appetite strength and endurance are i'm
proved, dun eyes become bright, and,
unless afflicted with some organic COM
plant, there is no reason why, If you
take Blood-Iron Phosphate regularly,
you should not soon look and feel much
better and many years younger. Deposit
81 so today with Haag, Hook, Huder or
any other druggist for enough Blood
Iron Phosphate for three weeks treat
ment.- Use as directed and If at the end
of three weeks you aren't delighted go
back and get your money Your drug

ASK REOPENING
OF PHONE CASE
Fl. Wayne Company Says
Boost in Rates Must Come.

Permission to submit further evidence
in support Of it's plea for increased rates
was asked of the Indiana public service
commission today by the Home Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company of FIT.
Wayne.
Hearing in the case was held by the
commission at Fl. Wayne Sept. Is, 1919.
Since that time, the petitioner asserts,
conditions have arisen that will increase
the operating costs of the company con-
siderably.
Expansion of service, made necessary
by the building of new factories In South
Bend, has caused a need for a 100000
bond issue by the municipal water de-
partment of that city, according to
petition filed with the commission today.
Permission to issue that amount of bonds
is asked. About sos, 900 of the issue would
be used to pay Indebtedness of the de-
partment, the petition says.
