WALTER HOOK THANKS
HIS FRIENDS IN RACE
FOR PROBATE JUDGE

To My Democratic Friends OF LeXlng-
ton County:
wish to thank you for the vote you
gave me in my race for Probate Judge
on Yesterday. Although I lacked a
few votes of being elected on the first
ballot, l am very happy over the re-
suit. All 1 can do now is to express
my great appreciation of your inter-
est and confidence. 1 shall do my ut
most to merit both.
1 haven't anything to say against
any of my opponents. I went IN the
race with a good feeling toward all
of them, and I want to come out OF
it and live afterwards feeling the same
way.
1 am no politician. l am just one
who tries to live right and make
good citizen, whether in or out Of Of
fee. If am elected Probate Judge,
as it seems now will be with the con-
tinued support of my loyal and ap-
preciated friends, 1 expect to do my
very best to make a good and accept
able officer. That will be the best
way I will have of really and truly re-
paying those who are standing by me
Besides, all the people will have a
right to expect that Of me.
Again thanking my friends for their
support, and speaking for its con-
tinuance, I am, with kind feelings for
all,
WALTER F. HOOK.

AGAIN DEMANDS APOLOGY

Augusta, Ga, Sept. 4-Judgc
Henry V. Hammond Of the Augusta
circuit Of superior court, today joint
Nv addressed to Gov. r. A. Cooper OF
South Carolina and Governor Hard
wick Of Georgia a letter in which he
reiterated his stand on the matter OF
the alleged invasion of Georgia by a
South Carolina mob on August II last
The Augustan again declared that
the South Carolina executive should
formally apologize to Georgia.
The letter ridiculed suggestion
made by Governor Hardwick that
Judge Hammond identify one or more
members of the mob before South
Carolina be asked to deliver mob
members up for Georgia justice. why
not ask me to identify the angels in
heaven above or the demons down
under the sea % the jurist asked.
The letter was written in response
to a statement from Governor Cooper
made public several days ago, which
declared Judge Hammond's demand
"was absurd
The mob in question came to Au-
gusta in the early morning of August
II in the effort to procure C. O. Fox
and Jesse Gappins, confessed murder
ers of William c.. Brazell, 10 year old
youth of Columbia.

COPPER AND BRASS

(Wells' Outline of History
Perhaps 5000 or 1000 years ago
in Europe Neolithic people began to
use copper in certain centers, making
out of it implements Of much the
same pattern as their stone imple-
ments They cast the copper in
moulds made to the shape Of the
stone implements. Possibly they first
found native copper and hammered 1t
into shape. Later-we will not ven-
ture upon figures-men had found
out how to get copper from its ore.
Perhaps, as Lord Avebury suggested,
they discovered the secret Of smelt-
ing by the chance putting Jumps of
copper ore among the ordinary stones
with which they built the fire pits
they used for cooking. In China,
Hungary, Cornwall and elsewhere,
copper ore and tinstone occur in these
same veins; it is very common asso-
citation and so, rather through dirti-
ness than skill, the ancient smelters,
it may be, hit upon the harder and
better bronze, which is an alloy Of
copper and tin.
Bronze is not only harder than cop
per, but the mixture Of tin and cop
per is more fusible and easier to re-
duce. The so-called pure copper
implements usually contain a small
proportion of tin, and there are no
tin implements known, nor very much
evidence to show that early men
knew of tin as a separate metal. The
plant Of a prehistoric copper smelter
has been found in Spain, and the ma
terial of bronze foundries in various
localities. The method of smelling
revealed by these finds carries out
Lord Avebury's suggestion. In India
where zinc and copper ore occur to-
gether, brass, which is an alloy Of the
two metals, was similarly hit upon.
So slight was the change in fashions
and methods produced by the appear
ance Of bronze, that for long time
such bronze axes, etc., as were made
were cast in moulds to the shape of
the stone implements they were su-
perseding.

A RESPONSIBILITY

Seldom has a greater responsibility
rested upon community than that
which coAfronts Lexington county at
the approaching term Of court. Nu-
meroHs shocking crimes have been
cqaafnitted within the borders Of the
County. People have to some extent
overlooked the fact that some Of
these crimes were not committed by
Lexington county people but by out
siders, and they have given to Lex
>ington county a bad name for disor-
der. Upon the jurymen who will
serve at the coming term of court
rests a responsibility to clear the good
name of our coutny by showing the
world that we do not approve Of law
lessness, but. in justice. To be sure
nc innocent man should be convicted
merely to vindicate the good name
Of Lexington county, but the law and
evidence alone should determine the
verdicts rendered. For one we have
not lost faith in the intelligence and
integrity Of Lexington county juries.
We are sure that they will do their
duty according to their oath. Neither
Prosecution nor defense can ask more
less.

A PROBLEM

The problem of diversified agricul-
ture is more a problem of marketing
than farming.
This is particularly true of Lexing-
ton county. Our people already know
how to grow successfully every crop
to which the soil is adapted: And they
have learned something about mar
keting. For years Lexington county
has fed Columbia. But the Colum-
bia market, along certain lines, can
be glutted. We must look elsewhere
for markets, particularly if the truck
area be materially increased. Success
full marketing will depend largely
upon cooperation. 1--WE must all
hang together or we will all hang
separately said Benjamin Franklin
years ago. And it is true today Of our
present situation.
Take the matter Of sweet potatoes.
There is ready sale at good prices for
many more thousands Of bushels. but
in order to insure good prices and a
continuing market the potatoes must
be graded properly. They must be
cured. For this purpose a drying
house will be necessary.
Peanuts ought to bring better prices
next year. The scarcity Of cotton
seed from this years crop and the
increased tariff which will shut off
foreign competition ought to make
the peanut a worth while crop in a
small way for ready cash. But here
again we must have ready markets.
A great responsibility rests now
upon the men of means in South
Carolina. It is their high privilege to
help to establish proper markets for
such surplus food and feed crops as
are farmers grow. Chambers of COM
merce and other like bodies all over
the State should busy themselves
about clear cut program for market
ing. But whether they do or not we
can't afford to sit down and let George
do it. Who will ltake the initiative in
Lexington county?
It's bigger question than all Of
tho no1iticS we will have for the next
20 years.

and others in this county continue to
make such delightful syrup.

PRESIDENT HARDING
AT THE CROSS ROADS
IN Y. Journal of Commerce)

Corsress had adjourned. This re-
cess has nanifestly been the out
| growth of a serious difference of opin-
| ion and it's object is to give time for
a breathing period and a revision of
plans. The session thus far has, on
the whole, gone fairly we'll for the
party in power at Washington, but
there have been more than few riffs
within the political lutte, any one of
which, if allowed to widen, may turn
party music into discord. 1t is time
for REPAIRS
Clearly the outstanding question to
be dealt with is the tariff and tax is
sue. The party bosses and hangers-on
had nearly got into control of mat
ters and were riding for fall with
their special interest schemes when
the President found it needful to
check them. He has been able tenn
porarily to shelve the bonus bill and
to hold up the tariff. He has made
but little advance with the tax reform
measure, and his railroad refunding
plan has been "knifed." This is little
better than a draw" What some
call the honeymoon period" of the
administration is now about over and
the real business Of it's existence is
about to begin-stern business at that.
Can Mr.. Harding hold matters in
line for real federal constructive leg
islation or not? .
There can be little, doubt about the
disposition of the administration. 1t
wants to help business and restore
prosperity. But the forces of oppo-
sition and of discord are strong. The
powerful clique of manufacturers who
would gladly sacrifice all to the mere
ability to fix prices their own way for
a time and to milk the public Of its
earnings through a prohibitive tariff
has set it's face definitely toward the
enactment of the duties that are now
demanded. Again, the intrenched
forces of the federal civil service are
determined that there shall be no real
economy in expense. Members of the
Cabinet, in more than one instance,
are already reputed to be weary and
discouraged. It is no wonder. Never
theless, the work is there, and it must
be done-over the opposition of
Congress if need be. ..,.
Four weeks of study and observa-
ton of the problem from all angles
| may strengthen the President in a de-
termination to stand fast for. public
interests against the forces alike of
reaction and Of radicalsm. 1t is to be
hoped so. But the wait will be: a
period of anxiety for all who have
been following recent tendencies with
close attention.

MARRIAGE OF WRENS

Little birds in their nests agree
So likewise do their parents, presum-
ably. But there has been much spec
ulation as to whether pairs Of birds,
once married, do or do not perpetuate
the welded relation from year to
year. =
How about the house-wren? 1t is 4
gentle and virtuous bird, almost semi
domesticated, as one might say, in
asmuch as it customarily builds its
nest in or about human habitations.
People who have watched the habits
OF house-wrens have often been heard
to say that they were sure the same
pairs returned to the same nesting
places season after season. They were
stancy.
However, Mr.. S. Prentiss Baldwin,
of Cleveland, who for many years
has made the trapping and banding
of birds his special hobby (afterward
releasing them to be subsequently re-
trapped perhaps and identified), has
found that house-wrens are no more
reliable than folks. In some instances
these relations are perpetuated from
season to season; but often it hap
pens that a house-wren, male or fe-
male, INDUCES in a violent Irritation,
even making a bluff at starting house
keeping, and then making final choice
Of another mate. Divorces occur. A
gentleman house-wren may marry,
rear a family and then leave his wife,
going off with another lady house
wren and setting up an establish
ment with her. Whereupon there is
nothing for the deserted female to
do but get another husband.
