That Democratic Dollar.

The clarion call comes to every
Democrat to contribute one dollar to
the national campaign fund. Can you
afford to turn a deaf ear to the ap-
peal? There are but few citizens in
this county who can not make con-
tribution of one dollar to this Dem
ocratic victory fund. With most of
those who fail to do so it is indiffer-
ence or a lack of loyalty. Surely
Edgefeld county will do its part. We
are an integral part of this great
commonwealth and we should be will
ing to bear our part of its burdens.
In making such contribution we
are contributing to the promotion
of our own interests. The past has
proven that beyond reasonable per-
adventure this part of the country
receives greater consideration at the
hands of a Democratic administra-
ton than at the hands of Repub-
lican administration. So it behooves
US, putting it on a selfish rather than
patriotic plane, to do our bit, that of
contributing one dollar to the ma
tional campaign fund.

Heavy Vote Should Be Cast.

The American people will ballot
next Tuesday for their chief execu-
tive, and every person of the more
than one hundred and five millions
of population who is qualified to vote
should go to the polls and vote. There
has been an Indifference in the mat
ter of voting in the general election
on the part of the people of Edge
field county heretofore that was in
excusable. Let US hope that a larger
per cent of our people will vote next
Tuesday than have voted in the past.
Unless we go to the polls and exer-
else our right of citizenship, we can
not really blame the Republicans OF
the North if they threaten to reduce
our representation in the national
congress. Our people are loyal and
active in the primary elections. Why
not take an active interest in the gen
eral election? Not to do so is mex
cusable.

Passing Worthless Checks.

With increasing frequency one
sees in the papers instances of per-
ions passing worthless checks with
fraudulet intent. 1t appears to be a
;avorite means of crooks in obtain
ing cash and merchandise from un-
suspecting persons. Just yesterday it
was reported that a man in Rock
Hill secured cash to the amount of
$500, and also a considerable guam
tity of merchandise, by passing
worthless checks. Such a criminal
should be punished severely. There
is now law upon the statute books
bearing upon the passing of worth
less checks but it is not drastic
enough, hasn't sufficient teeth in it
to be feared by evil doors. Bank
checks should be so safeguarded that
they will pass anywhere at their face
value, as so much "green-backs,"
without question.

Flagrantly Lawless.

Thus far not a gin has been burn
ed in this county this fall, but the
incendiary with his torch is coming
steadily nearer. This morning the
burning of gin, believed to be the
act of some lawless person or per-
sons, is reported from near Granite
vile, in Aiken county. This is to be
deplored. Scores of gins have been
burned in other parts of the cotton
belt this fall by lawless persons who
claimed to commit the dastardly deed
under cover of darkness in order to
promote the interests of cotton grow
ers. But you can just set it down as
a fact that can not be controverted
that nobody's interest is ever really
advanced through lawlessness.
"There is way that seemeth right
unto a man but the end thereof are
the ends of DEATH" says the Good
Book, or words to that effect. And
lawbreakers of this type especially
should be given to understand that
they will be shown no quarter under
the law. The shutting down of gins
will have no appreeiable effect upon
the cotton market, and persons who
would by violent means try to i'm
prove present conditions are render
ing no service to those whom they
profess to befriend.
Let there be no night-riding in
Edgefeld county.

The Aiken Municipal Club, two
weeks ago, refused atmittance to the
women of Aiken. The women voters
were championed by the best and
most representative men of Aiken,
led by Hon. D. S. Henderson. They
were defeated by a vote of 60 to 81.
Indignation among the women and
representative men ran so high that
the opposition was brought to terms
and the action of the first meeting
was rescinded by large majority.

Be it said to his credit, the Hon.
Thomas E. Watson has made a good
start by writing the Republican
chairman that he is 100 per cent

Not gin should be shut down un-

pared to house their cotton in the
seed, and furthermore the fire risk
is greater.

According to the Good Book,
there is Withholding that tendeth

That is just what the government
has done. 1t has withheld credit from
the cotton producers and there will
follow poverty of income tax re-

Sow Large Grain Acreage
Ruin stares large number of our
farmers in the face, if they persist
in planting cotton to the neglect of
food crops. The boil weevil is not
coming, it is already here, and has
wrought considerable damage to the
cotton crop of the present year. If
we are to judge from the experience
of others in other portions of the
cotton belt, the damage will be great
er next year. Then, too, in addition
to the boil weevil menace, the price
of cotton is too uncertain for farm
ers to depend so largely upon the
staple. During the past six weeks
cotton declined more than one hun
dred per cent, and the producers are
'powerless to remedy the situation.
They have met and adopted resolu-
tions and resolutions as to the price
but in the face of their earnest eff
forts to keep the price up it went
down, down, down.
There is but one safe and sane
course now left to farmers and that
is to reduce the acreage of cotton
and plant more food stuffs that have
heretofore been bought elsewhere
and shipped in. Live at home should
be the supreme effort of every far
mer. Begin now by sowing more
grain. Do not wait till next spring.
It will be too late then.

LEAD
 IN POINTS MADE
 AT OLYMPIC MEET
Have 43, While Fins Hold Second Place
 With 29.

Antwerp, Aug. 16.--America's pow erful and well balanced track and field team continued to gather hon. ors in the second day of the seventh Olympic. It outclassed all the oth- CT nations combinations but it's mem- hers were not strong enough indi- vidually to win all the first place honors, particularly in the classic an cient pentathron, in which the Fin nish star, E. Lethtonen, proved to be the best all-around athlete.
 In addition to the Americans SCOT ing the greatest number of points the only world record of the day was made by Frank Loomis of the Chi cago A. A. in the 400-meter hurdles with 54 seconds flat, a full second better than the time made by c Bacon in the London Olympics in 1908. In both the hurdles and the 100-meters dash, four of the six fi- nalists were American athletes o1 whom three ran first in the hurdles and two first in the 100 meters.
 A majority of the experts at the finish line of the 100 meter event, but not the officials, insisted that J. V. Scholz, of the University of Missouri was third instead of fifth as officially placed, but protest en- tered by the Americans was with drawn when it was realized that there was no going behind the off cial decision.
 In the other events, the heats be- fore the semi-f finals in the 800 meter run, all the Americans retained places, but it was generally conced- ed by the American runners that the South African, B. G. D. Rudd, has a sure first in the final.
 The Americans performances to- day netted them total of 43 points in the track and field events-17 in the hurdles, 15 in the 100-meter rash and Il in the pentantlon-ou of a possible 66 for the days events.
 Sweden, which gained only one fifth place today to add to yester- days one-sixth place, has only g three point track total, but Finland by the 19 points won in the jave- lin throw yesterday and the ten in today's penathalon, has 29, and is second to the Americans.
 France has six points, England five, Esthonia three and Norway one
