Have you ever stopped to think Of
the number Of decisions an umpire
has 10 moke during a regular nine
inning game? And he can't stop to
consider. They ali must ba snap
Judgments. There are as an aver
age about thrty-dve men at bat dur
ing a game and an average of ave
balls delivered to each batter-there
are $40 chances for the umpire to
say nothing OF tho numerous plate
and base decisions. The average
hall player says ne has had a good
day II he accepts six out of seven
what would he do with
$50. Then again you must consider
the pitcher, he is trying to make the
ball hop in some unexpected direc-
ton. Often he fools the batter who
has to guess what IT is-sometimes
he fools his own catcher-and yet
the umpire has got to be right on
every one, and If he misses-my!
my! It's a great life.

MR.. HODGES URGES FARMERS
TO ORGANIZE POLITICALLY Y

fore.
Who can measure the responsibility
Of the old staid farmer as from day
to day he goes over the hills and
through the valleys communing with
natures God?
Our minds look into next years
campaign and we shudder, we stand
aghast, our blood runs cold, because
we see the vile delnagogue politician
with the tongue of a serpent, with ly-
ing slander upon his lips sowing dis
cord, enmity and hatred all over
South Carolina. A devil incarnate.
We see the evidences of very strong
probability of dragging the prohibi-
ton or liquor question into the next
campaign. My fellow countrymen,
did you know that the bootleggers
and the illicit distillers could and
would rai.,e 100000 or more If nee
essary to elect a liquor governor OF
this State? There is no doubt of 1t
and do you believe there is a man
in South Carolina who would be gov
ernor on such a platform if he could?
I do Not in the campaign would he
avow himself a liquor candidate but
after his election he would show you
what he would do. Who is to save
the state from the possibilities Of such
,, disaster? Can he look to the
towns and cities and politicians to
save us, fear not. Who is to suffer
most from lax enforcement of the
liouor laws, The farmer in the hand
ling of his labor will suffer most and
the poor women and children living in
the country whose very lives are con-
stantly in fear and dread of some

ton of men who are known destruc-
tionists and who would open further
the bleeding wounds of our people.
/ MY fellow farmer and fellow citi-
| zen of South Carolina, of every Vo-
cation and profession, do you realize
that for years to come it is going to
take every ounce Of energy, the
greatest of wisdom and all of our con-
structive conservatism to save this
State from an economical, moral, So
cial, political and educational disas-
ter? I call upon the God fearing
| men and women to realize that the
| fight is on and to save the people
from the slough of despair and the
demon politician who would set this
State on fire for his own sake. We

poverty stricken and demoralized
! people into a frenzy. You can never

Editors Of The Dispatch-News,
Thinking perhaps, that you would
enjoy a letter from Atlanta, the city
of hills, l will endeavor to pencil you
a few lines from this part Of the
world. arrived here on the 7th and
was met by my son, C. 3. Harman,
and driven to his beautiful home on
Barnett Street, about one-half block
from Ponce DeLeon Avenue, which is
about three miles drive from the sta
ton. AS usual, I did not enjoy the
ride on the cars as I became too sick
to notice anything. Since my arrival
here, however, I have strolled around
and through the city and enjoyed the
beautiful scenery in the city which
has made great Improvements since
was here, just two years ago. Many
new buildings have gone up and the
streets greatly improved. Out where
T am now the houses are just beauti-
full, so many excellent residences but
few business houses. Many apart
ment houses in this part Of the city
occupied by from four to as many a.
twenty families in one house. AS this
is called the city Of hills, you will
find many of the most magnificent
dwellings situated from ten to thirty
feet above the pavement which are
reached by granite or concrete steps,
the lawns in front are mostly covered
win nice. green grass and beautiful
flowers, which are adapted to this
climate. which is said to be among
the coolest in the South. At present,
however, we are having beautiful
weather. The amusements here are
many and mostly Of the highest type
or grade. However I have visited only
two. so far. and was highly pleased
and enioyed them both. The South
Georgia Fair ended here last week
and was a grand success, attended by
large crowds, but on account Oh lts
distance from here and my not feeling
we'll I did not attend. On last Sun

Editor The Dispatch-News:


NV fellow farmers Of South Caro-
lima. do YOU possibly realize the bur
dens of responsibility that we are
face to face with for the next year
and for years to come? Shall we
meet them as brave men under the
leadership Of the great God Of ma
tions or shall we become disgruntled'
DISCOURAGED, demoralized and give up
and surrender to evil forces and in
fluences? + don't believe a word OF
it. Such is not the history Of our
people.
1t seems that in every grave and
disastrous crisis that the farmer Is
the under-dog and is the great bur-
den bearer. He has toiled like
slave, has had to stint his women and
children almost to the starvation
point and in great many instances
his children have been reared IN
gross ignorance. No greater sacrl-
fices were ever made by the serfs of
Russia than by our farm women and
children, and yet as individuals with
out organization We have achieved
wonders. After every disaster we
have come back and gone to heights
| never dreamed Of, but to say that the
| agricultural people of this state are
satisfied with their condition would
be stating an untruth: so my fellow
farmer herein lies our great respon-
sibility.
We are face to face with an eco
nomic breakdown, and the eyes OF
the state are turned towards the till
er of the soil. The farmer today is
regarded as the bulwark of the state
as has always been the case; but he
is without the sympathy and appre-
citation that he should have and this
| is because he has failed to organize
| and demand his rights. The schem-
! ing politician doesn't want the far
mers organized in the farmers be-
half but if he can get the farmer torn
to pieces to further his cause he is
satisfied No doubt the farming
class has been frightfully discrimi-
mated against in taxation. There
comes time when every thing the
farmer produces fails to make him
any profit and there is nothing with
which to Day taxes; yet a great
proportion of the profit producing
class escapes taxes entirely but the
! farmer never escapes his.
The question that the farmers have
got to ask themselves is, can and will
! the old line politician, whether in the
general assembly or as governor
make any attempt to change these
! conditions? 1 think not; hence the
| imperative necessity of cleaning out
the old liners and putting in far
mer as Governor and general as
sembly of farmers and business men
who would give all the people just
and fair deal, without strife and con-
tention as has so often characterized
political affairs in South Carolina be-

covered about thirty miles over and
through the red hills of Georgia, the
lands of which are mostly poor and
unfit for farming purposes. in fact,
YOU could hardly find level ground
enough for one OK farm. The roads
are of concrete or asphalt and just
fine for driving. On our trip we
passed many places of note among
them, the battle grounds Of Peach

X. X. Klan, the residence Of Col. Sim

which is a credit to any county or

churches both in and out Of the city.

THE STATE FAIR.

Next week is state fair week in Grand Forks.
his happens once in two years according to a stat
utcfy ~rangeme which alternates the state fair
between Grand Forks and Fargo. The odd num-
bered years are the years for the state fair in Grand
Forks. AS 2 matter of fact, the holding Of fairs in
Grand Forks has come to be such a well recognized
activity, SO much effort has been put into it and
such a high level Of excellence has been maintained,
that the process is really continuous; and people.
generally fail to differentiate between the state fair
in its appropriate year and what is known as the,
local fair in the even numbered year. The fairs at
Grand Forks, state or local, have proven their quail
lily, and are generally recognized as worth while.
A the outset Of the war. there was very gener-
|al recognition of the Importance Of economy in all
and Of the utmost conservation of mate
nal effort. Many forms of entertainment were
either discontinued entirely or very materially mod
ban on many things which had been considered
quite appropriate and useful during the time of
peace but an exception was made in the case of
great agricultural fairs. After thorough investiga-
ton, these were decided by the highest authority to
be of such benefit to communities that they ought
to be discontinued under any circumstances,
and instead OF discourag'ng, the government did all
IN its power to encourage them, even when it was
putting forth its supreme effort in the great work
ct the war. A better testimonial to the value of
these fairs could not be asked.
The state fair at Grand Forks this wear will be
e worthy successor to those which have already
been held. The work of preparation for this fair
has consumed the time and occupied the attention
a force of capable people ever since the last fair
was held. Preparation for such a fair is a ~continu-
process. The results will be shown next week:
and because of the record which. has been establish
ed and because the management. is in the hands Of
those who have achieved 50 much in the past, we
have every assurance that our Forthcoming fair
will be one. in which not only Grand Forks, but the
state OF North Dakota can take proper pride.
The success Of a fair depends not alone upon
the effort Of the management, but on the patronage
of the public. Great crowds will be attracted from
many sections Of the state, and it is Of vital interest
to the city of Grand Forks that its " people Be
liberal in their patronage and their attendance. The
falr, while a state enterprise, means much to the
city itself, and it is due the management and the
state itself that our local people turn out literally.
to enjoy the program presented and to give the en-
terprise the support Of their presence and their
funds.

A MATTER OF TASTE.

While the use Of chlorine in drinking water is
recognized by men Of science as efficacious in de-
injurious bacilli and thus rendering the
water safe when it would otherwise be unsafe,
chlorine in large doses irnparts an unpleasant taste
to the water. This taste is accumulated by the pres
ence OF a high percentage of foreign matter such as
IS fo IN IN the wastes from many industrial plants.
The water supplied to the people of Cleveland
is taken from Lake Erie by means Of pipes extend
ing several miles out from the shore. The lake, how
ever, receives the drainage from the city, and some
OF the pollution finds its way to the intakes. Chic
rine is used to counterfeit the effect of this. Nine
years ago a flood in the cuyahoga. carried into the
lake unusually large quantities of waste from a
number of industrial plants, and the result was an
unpleasant taste in the city water. This taste was
and not altogether accurately ascribed to
the use of chlorine, and there was much protest.
Yielding to popular clarnor, the authorities reduced
the percentage Of chlorine used in the treatment Of
the water. "
immediately there was an increase in the num-
Der OF typhoid cases and that increase has remained
unit, y the present time. Apparently the people of
prefer a water that is relatively tasteless
to one that is relatively safe.

Who vas the woman? What a good
thing it would be to know that, to6!
How clearly, after all. Mr.. Ri
cardo puts his finger on the important
points! What did actually happen in

the birds were still. and all the win
dows suffered and the world dark,
what happened? What dreadful
things happened?
I'VE have not much to do upon.
Let us FORMULATE what we know. We
start with this. The murder was mo-
the work of a moment. It was
planned with great care-and+cunning
and carried out to the letter of. the
plan. There must be no noise, no
violence.
ION each side of the Villa Rose
there are other villas: a few yards
away the road runs past. A scream,
a cry, the noise Of a struggle-these
sounds, or any one Of them, might be
fatal ia success
THUS the crime was planned; and
there was no scream. and only a
chair upset. Yes, there were brains
behind that murder. w know that.
But what do we know Of the plan?
How far can we build 1t up? Let us
see. First, there was an accomplice
IN n house.-perhaps two"
.No!' cried Harry Wethermill.
Hanaud took no notice Of the inter
ruption.
Secondly the woman came to the
house with Nine. Dauvray and Mile.
fCelie between nine and half-past
nine. Thirdly, the man came after
wards, but before eleven, set open the
gate, and was adrrattea into the salon.
u~nperceived BY Nine. Dauvray. That
also we-can safely assume. But what
happened in the salon? All! There
is the question" Then he shrugged
his shoulders ana said with the note
OF raillery once more in his voice..
But why Should we trouble our
heads to puzzle out this mystery,
since M. Ricardo knows?"
TT" cried Ricardo in aInazement.
A Seance Held.
ITO be sure" replied Hanaud
calmly. For I look at another Of
your questions. What did the torn
up scrap of writing mean?' and you
add: Probably spirit-writing.' Then
there was a seance held last night in
the little salon! Is that sc? 2"
Harry WetheTmill started. MI. RI
cardo was at, a loss.
II had not followed my suggestion
to its conclusion" he admitted hum
bly,.

myself in sober earnest, Was there
