Sinister Plan
To Beat Wood
Politicians Seek to Wipe
Slate Clean at Chicago
and Name Dark Horse.
Declares Princeton Man
Cites Generals Record
Speaks at Drawing Room
Rally Given at the Home
of Mrs. Whitelaw Reid

Warning against dark horse" for
the Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency was sounded yesterday after
noon by Professor Robert Z. McElroy,
of Princeton University. He addressed
a Leonard Wood rally at the home of
Mrs, Whitelaw Reid
There seems to be sinister project
IN the minds of some politicians to
wipe the slate clean of all names of
candidates whose records have been
studied by the people and to nominate
some dark horse at Chicago" said Pro
fessor McElroy
IF the Republican convention cannot
select candidate from the six whose
regulations are brilliant and whose
records are clear, then the American
people Will insist on an accounting and
an expose of the mysteries of the dark
room and the green baise curtains'
Cites Cuban Record
Professor McElroyv spoke for more
than an hour. emphasizing the fact
that General Wood was u prophet Of
preparedness. not only IN military af-
fairs but in education, finance and
science, as was proved by the conduct
of the affairs Of Cuba while he was
Governor.
People say we must have a business
man for President" he said. "and
agree with them. What better ex-
ample of business ability has been
presented to us than General Woods
financial methods in Cuba, when he
took over devastated. country with
empty treasures and so stimulated ma,
tive industries that $58,0O0 900 passed
through his hands in two years and
half
"When the Democratic opposition in
Congress demanded an Investigation
General Wood had his books in sucn
perfect order that he was able to send
back on return boat a complete finan-
cial statement which satisfied even his
enemies.'
General Wood was able to curb the
food protiteers in Cuba. according to
Professor McElroy He found that
artificial icefXing the deal
ers were charging IS cents a pound for
beefsteak that cost them only "a cents.
Immediately he issued decree that
beefsteak would be sold for so cents
and no more
The only other speaker was Miss
Alice Hill Chittenden, who urged the
women to write to their delegates to
the Chicago convention in behalf of
General Wood
The meeting was the 1l5th in the
series Of drawing room rallies being
conducted for the Leonard Wood Cam
paign Committee by Mrs. Mary Hatch
Willard.

reflected in rates. He declared that
the utilities under state or municipal
regulation were allowed so narrow =
margin of profit that they could not
absorb the increase.
Chairman Robinson Indicated ,hr
trend Of the commissions efforts TO
solve the fuel problcm by asking il
the utilities would be willing, to store

SOME VIEWS ON OUR
TOBACCO MARKET

TO grade tobacco before they can sell
It get the difference over me for their
trouble. l cannot see where we could
grade tobacco for SIS per hundred in
this State now the way labor is, and
loo the average man knows nothing
about grading it.
Some fellow may say that I take
my position because l want to make
this market and Virginia market,
Goo. This is isn't true. l am willing to
stay open in South Carolina as long
as the companies that buy our tobacco
think best to stay open. I think we
should stay open until the middle of
September or the first of October. I
find that the majority of farmers want
TO get through reasonably early and
then give their attention to the gath
ering of cotton and hay crops.
You will pardon me for writing at
length, as / never know when to quit
when writing about tobacco. One
thing neglected to mention about
last years crop of tobacco: The wet
season in July knocked hundreds of
thousands of dollars orr Of the South
Carolina crop, not onlS the growing
crop, but the tobacco was brought to
market wet. bought more than two
hundred thousand pounds of this kind,
and today l have as result of this
high order more than one hundred
thousand pounds that spoiled. This
would not likely have happened in
North Carolina, as the farmers are
we'll up on how much order to let the
weather put into the tobacco.-Mon-
days News and Courier.

COUNTY FARMERS

The first Cooperative shipment of
hogs made from Clarendon County
was shipped last Tuesday from Pine
wood. Messrs. j. j. Broughton, j. e.
Broughton and George Tindal made
up the car. 106 hogs were loaded.
Although this is the first cooperative
shipment from Clarendon we do not
want it to be the last, this coming fall
and winter should see larger num-
Der of cars shipped. This method pro
vides the farmers with a market for
their surplus stock and market on
which you will get the prevailing mar
ket price for the grade of hogs ship

In occupying Cilicia the French
troops frequently took over American
mission property and schools, which
were the best buildings and the easiest
to defend. Consequently, the Ameri-
cans were regarded by the Turks as
Frenchmen. There have been many
conflicts between the French occupy
ine the district and the Turks. The
French are using Armenian and Sene-

excited great hostility among the
Moslem tribes.

from Angora, told the correspondent
that James Perry and Frank S. John
son, representatives Of the American
