der the political fortunes of several
of Anderson's "old liners who,
through long tenure of Office against
all comers had come to be looked
upon as office olders "till they die"
The second outstanding feature of
carnival of political slaughter was
the triumphant advance of veterans
of the World War who mopped up
in every contest in which they
figured Perhaps the greatest sur
prise of the daw was the manner in
which Clerk of Court James N.
Pearman, long recognized as politi-
cal boss in Anderson county and
leader of the Ashley-Blease forces
in this section, together with anoth
er contestant for the Office. Rufus
FAINT, Jr., was buried under land
slide knocked loose by former
'shave-tail" of the Honea Path Sec
ton named Clarence F. Taylor. He
beat both of his opponents by $500
votes.
Leon w. Harris, formerly a buck
private in the World War, landed
on the political fortune of Kurtz
Smith, incumbent, in the race for
Solicitor. Harris has apparently
beaten both Smith and Leon L. Rice
in the first race, although complete
returns from Oconee county are
lacking. Both Smith and Rice were
Y. NJ. C. A. entertainers overseas,
but if the voters were moved by
consideration of this kind in voting,
they preferred to support the buck
who saw services in the fighting
arm of the service.
Perhaps the most hotly contested
race was that of Sheriff, which re-
suited in the incumbent, C. Guerdon
King, and Oss Marett, a husky
young farmer, heading the ticket
and matching for the second race,
two weeks hence. King was mess
sergeant in the 11sth Infantry and
wears the Distinguished Service
Cross for gallantry under fire. He is
an appointee of Governor Cooper
having been placed in the office
when J. Olin Sanders was ousted
everal months ago. Sanders was a
contestant in the race for sheriff,
but is running too far in the offing
to DC recognized.
The fact that Sanders was chief
deputy under former Sheriff Joe M.
H. Ashley and was recognized as the
candidate of the Ashley faction in
the present race, coupled with the
defeat of Clerk of Court Pearman,
leader of the Ashley wing, is caus-
ng some of the political wiseacres
to see in it the complete collapse of
the machine of this once powerful
element in Anderson couty politics.

Waltz was of the opinion that this did not indicate a serious subterranean

Twenty-two Permanent Hospitals in the United States Operated by
 the Navy Department.

Caring for the sick has always been considered of paramount importance in the Navy. Aside from twenty-two hospitals in the United States, the Navy has four others in foreign coun- tries. During the World War the Navy established eighteen temporary hospitals in France, England, Scot land, Greece and Italy.
 On board every ship in the Navy provisions are made for the sick. No matter how small the vessel or. how large, men will be stationed on board to care and comfort the sailors. No private hospital or sanitarium is bet ter fitted for this work than are the hospitals of our own proud Navy.
 It would take pages of space to tell of the great deeds accomplished by our surgeons and their co-workers in the Medical Corps; it would likewise take pages of space to tell of the all most unbelievable operations, and the kindness shown at these institutions. Perhaps the best known hospital in

the Navy is the Naval Hospital, Brooklyn. N. Y. From a little one story, building it has kept pace with the times and demands of our fast growing Navy, and at present has within its grounds some thirty build ings.
 The Brooklyn Hospital, like all oth- CT Navy Hospitals, has it's own post office, laundry, power plant and every modern facility for the care and com fort of our officers and enlisted men. Spacious rooms devoted entirely to op- erations, great white wards, rest rooms and recreation halls, sun- porches and countless easy chairs are features of this enterprise which is dedicated to humanity.
 There are forty officers attached to the Brooklyn Hospital ranking from Captain, (M. O. U. s. N., to Lieuten- ant (j. g.) also six pharmacists mates, one hundred and fifty appren- tices and sixty-six female nurses.
 During the War, from April 6 1917 to II November 1918, there were admitted to this hospital alone, 26,- 5S7 patients, all of them in the ser vice of their country. During the year 1916, which is considered a ty- pical peace-time year, there were ad-

STATE HIGHWAY DEPT. CALLING FOR BIDS FOR
 THE BENSON-VAIL ROAD

The State Highway is calling for bids for the construction of sections "A, B and E" of the lBenson-Vail Highway. Section ID" has already been constructed and a contract has been awarded for the construction of Section "C". A contract has also executed and work is now starting on the construction of section "F'' which is a reinforced concrete bridge cross ing Cienega Creek and the Southern Pacific Railroad tracks with an over head crossing near Irene, Arizona.
 The construction of these sections will mean the completion of the high way from Vail to Benson and will pro- vide a highly improved road from Douglas to Tucson. Bids are also be- ing asked for the construction of sec tions "E" and "F" of the Florence Superior Highway, section "E' being a reinforced concrete bridge 144 feet in length, crossing Queen Creek, and section "F'' being the highway from Queen Creek. to Superior.
 Work is now in progress on section "B" and will be started on section "A" and section "C'' in the immediate fu- ture. Sections "A" and "B" will ex- tend from the bridge at Florence to a junction with the Mesa-Superior Highway and will complete the high way from Florence to junction with the Apache Trail, distance of about forty miles.
 Work is almost completed on the highway between Tempe and Mesa and when the Benson-Vail Highway and sections "A" and "B" of the Flor ence-Superior are completed, first class highway, extending from a point about fifteen miles east of Douglas to Phoenix will be available with the ex- ception >of about thirty miles of un- improved road between Tucson and Florence and about fourteen miles on the Apache Trail east of Mesa.
 A portion of the road east of Mesa is on the program of the Maricopa County Highway Commission leaving only about nine miles of highway to be improved between Mesa and Flor ence. The unimproved portion of the highway between Tucson and Flor ence will be improved using Pinal County 75@o money, and the remaining portion of the highway in Cochise County between Douglas and Rodeo will be improved using Cochise Coun- ty 75fo money and Federal Aid thus completing the highway from the New Mexico line at Rodeo to Phoenix.
 It is confidently expected that this work will be virtually completed dur ing the present year.

 It is not in keeping with Naval tra- dition to boast of exploits or services, but it is on record that the percentage of deaths in Naval Hospitals is far below that in civil institutions. This fact may be attributed to the follow ing: Men must pass strict physi- cal examination before entering the Navy, that are admitted to the hospi- tals before they become seriously ill, they have special nurses, very latest facilities are supplied by the govern ment, no matter what, if their cases so warrant and the cost.

THEY DON'T CALL FEM COMRADE OUT
 IN FRISCO NOW

San Francisco, Calif.-The term "comrade" will no longer be used by Daylight Post, American Legion, here. On account of the abuse of the old term by the I. w. w. and other radi- calls, and also on account of the use of a similar-sounding term by the Ger mans in the World War, the board of governors of this post has eliminated the objectionable designation and adopted the term "buddies."
