SELLING GOVERNMENT PLANTS.

Some surprise is expressed that noth- ing larger than bid of four and a quar- ter million dollars was received for the immense shipbuilding plant at Hog isl and and apparently no great desire to take it at that figure This is one of the shipysras dilt for meeting the war demand for ships. It has cost the gov ernment aoout s7O 0oo, 900 and naturally In view Of such large outlay and the excellence of the plant larger price for itashould be expected
 But in view of the manner in which the government had disposed of other var-estsblishments has it reason to ex- pct a larger return from this shipyard ? Itris to be remembered that the govern nnent tAbuilt the town of Nitro. West vir- ginfa- , for the purpose of manufacturing explosives at a cost of more than s7o,- eee 900. It sold the entire town after turning down the first bids for about yaigbtsand- a half million.

sRANDEGEE DESERVES YoUR
 SUPPORT.

Long ago it was made known that President Wilson wanted Senator Rran- degee defeated in the coming election be- cuase he had dared to oppose so strong the Wilson league of nations. In keen ing with this desire there have been sent into Connecticut cabinet members and Candidate Cox, while the suffrage organ ization of the state is using it's efforts. whether guided by democratic influence or not to send democratic senator to Washington, who has been a rubber stamp for the present administration.
 Unjust attacks are being made upon Senator Brandegee in relation to his votes on child labor legislation. Efforts are being made to bring about his defeat because he refused to break his oath to support the Constitution and claims are being made through political advertise ments that he never supported legislation in behalf of children when as a matter of fact such is not the case as his ac- ton in supporting the establishment of the children's bureau and his protest and vote against the elimination of an aopro- priation for Investigating child welfare clearly show.
 
 Pomerene amendment of the revenue law dealing with child labor. Such an amend ment, it is believed was never adopted but on the revenue act which contains a provision dealing with taxation of child labor products his vote is recorded as ir the affirmative.
 The efforts to poison the voters re. gsrding Conneticut's senior senator has been directed to the women voters. whc cannot fau even though 1t is their first election to vote that Connecticut need: just the influential and do-something rep resentatfve in the senate that Senato, Brandegee is for the proper support t, republican administration and tn, proper protection of the labor and in dustrial interests of the state. No rnal or woman voter can do his duty and ia vor representation in the senate that vii tend tO tie the hands of a republican president in dealing with domestic an, foreign questions.
 Senator Brandegee 4s entitled to ree1ec tion- Connecticut needs him in the Unit ed States senate and women as we'll a men should see that they have a part i thus strengthening congress and Connec h4Oul NOiCe ana inHuenCc therein.
 Brandegee doesn't duck when it come 10 voting on legislation. He takes frank and courageous stand on what for the best interests of all withou waiting for instructions from the whit house, and without coming to Connect cut as Mir. Lonergan did in order { avoid voting on the passage of the vo stead act over the presidents veto an even today tt is impossible to find ot from MT.

THE INDICATIONS.

From all the forecasts that have been made outside of the leaders of the H- spective parties it is conceded that the republican ticket will sweep the ccsntry, that there win be sHbstantial major tcral college and that the republican principles and platform will thereby be endorsed. Political experts who are sup posed to be unbiased by partisan feeling are predicting republican victory. This is the. result of feeling the pulse of the different sections of the country and get ting close to political sentiment It is in keeping with the disclosure made by the Maine election and it indicates that the people generally are demandiag | change and, in the selection of a new president, that sentiment turns much more strongly toward Senator Hardins than to Governor Cox whose tour of mud singing and wild improved assertions has created distrfst
 Likewise it indicates that the methods which have been advanced by Senator Harding for dealing with domestic prob. lems as well as the course which he has urged in bringing about an association ei nations that will preserve our Censtitu. tion, eliminate foreign entanglenents and serve to keep us out of war has appeal ed to the common sense of the nation
 Desperate efforts are being made by the democrats through attacks upon thu ancestry of the republican candidate te lessen his chances. Such deliberate ane gross falsehoods cannot fail to prove jus the same sort of boomerang that tn, Cox claim regarding the republican cam paign fund did
 Victory for the republican ticket |, which all signs point is in accord witi the demands of the people. It is wha the country needs to offset the extfaga gance, negligence and the one man gov ernment of the present administration.

COMPARISON OF HARDING AND COX
fNew York Herald. }


 Whether Governor Cox set 26s elee- toral votes next Tuesday or passes out of the immediate interest of his fellow citizens with only 12e, he will have suc- ceeded in doing something which we be- heye no seother candidate for president has ever done so completely in so short time In less than four months the tireless larynx of this exergetic policician previously almost unknown to ninety-nin per cent. of Americans beyond a radius us of one hundred and fifty miles or SC from Columbus, Ohio, has projected upon and inte the public understanding such picture of his moral and intellectual personality as many years of intimate acquaintance often fail to produce.
 The achievement. we believe, is without parallel in our political history. The por- trait is master piece of industrital art. It is composite of superimposed aspects of character and mind. laid and overiaid with undaHnfed self-revelations. It as

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Treat League as Any Contract You Can
 not Understand.

Mir Editor: To the man and voter who says he cannot and does not understand the covenant and contract styled the league of nations, bear this in mind You would net, in your business or private af- fairs, sign or bind yourself to a contract that you did not understand, or that you found was subject to many interpreta- tions You would say as a prudent man, I will have none of it and pitch it in the waste basket, or at least try to make it positive and unequivocable Moreover a contract must be interpreted as it is written, and is not subject to your idea of an interpretation or to out side explanation.
 Therefore. if you care for your coun- try. your liberties and your prosperity and your children's happiness, see to ii on Tuesday that you vote against this iniquitous thing (that you say that you do not or cannot understant) and b. on the safe side.

Peanuts Important Southern
Money Crop.

Few crops have experienced such
rapid growth in acreage and pro-
duction as has the peanut during re-
cent years. And the South is the
greatest gamer. Unknown CONNER
cially before 1870, the Agricultural
Department reports the yield reach
ed $45,SS6,00O bushels raised on
1 1861, 600 acres in 1918.
A decided slump in both produc-
ton and acreage occurred in the past
season, with only 1,251,0O0 acres
planted, resulting in a yield Of about
33,26O,0OO bushels. The price of pea
nuts was so much greater in 1919
than in the preceding year, however,
that, according to the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, the total farm value
on December 1, 1919 was $685.
600, or only 100000 less than the TO-
tai value in 1913.
The peanut market this year thus
far has been steady, having neither
sudden drops nor abrupt advances
as experienced in former years.
The rapid growth of the peanut
industry has caused brisk increase
in the development of peanut oil,
peanut meal, peanut 'hulls and peanut
flour.
A national advertising campaign
to explain the methods of preparing
raw peanuts should result in new out
lets and should greatly increase the
demand for the raw nuts.-Manufac-
turers Record.

all the distress cotton, and both the

to get all advances needed to hold
his 1920 crop for a profitable price.
"The most thorough and systemat-
ic campaign ever conducted in the
state was arranged to start on July
Is for warehouses, graders and mem
bership of the American Cotton asso-
citation. Under this plan, it is the con-
census of opinion that warehouses
will be erected in each and every
county in the state sufficient to ware
house the cotton and other agricul-
tural products produced therein. I'm
der these plans the state warehouse
commissioner reports over 100 al
ready in course of erection. That
graders will be secured for cotton
markets in every county and organi-
cations formed to market cotton and
other agricultural crops in time to
open, cooperative marketing in all of
the counties of the state and the
membership of the American Cotton
association in this state will be in
creased by 10000 members.
"It was shown that mutual fire in
surance companies were no longer
experiments but wonderfully benef-
cial, safe and sound and it was decid-
ed to take steps for the oganization
ofthe same in the various counties of
the state. Special attention of the
business was called to the advantage
of organizing such companies. The
organization of a statewide mutual
fire insurance company is now under
consideration to obtain low rate of
insurance.
Save Farmers Money.
Orangeburg county is a concrete
example of what is now being done
in many counties in SouthC carolina.
The American Cotton Association of
Orangeburg county, along with the
Farmers Union and Cotton Market
ing association, has established mar
ket at Orangeburg that has brought |
that market from being the poorest
in lower South Carolina to one of the
best. 1t brought more cotton to that
market the first seven months of its
operation than had been handled
there for the ~ months previous and
saved to the farmers who patronized
it from SIS to $50 per bale at cost
of 80 cents per bale. Already Aiken
Calhoun and many other counties are
ready to follow Orangeburg's exam
pie with the 1920 cotton crop.
"We earnestly call on every repre-
ent member of the association to get
active and enlist the sympathy and
enroll as many members every fellow

and professional man and all the
