terest in the races Tor state officers.
Political gossip is heard on all sides.
The most recent development of the
campaign that bids fair to bring about
other developments of a more interest
ing nature took place Tuesday at Mar
ion. Quite Unexpectedly and without
warming the "break" came when in the
course OF his speech Senator George
X. Ianey told his hearers that there
was talk Of the best man to beat
Blease WITH" intimating strongly that
this man was backed by machine"
and was the machine candidate"
Knowing that Senator Laney could
have been referring to no other than
himself, Thomas G. Mcleod took up
the charge and declared that he was
"the secretary and treasurer of his own
campaign" and that the only ring"
behind him was the majority of the
voters Of South Carolina, n ring"
which he said all of the candidates
were seeking as their backing. In his
speech Senator Laney, declared in no
terms that he was the can
didate of no machine" and II elected

WHO WON THE WAR?
Prof. Hobbs Of Michigan Says Germany
Was Victor

Germany seems to be the real win
ner of the World War, Prof. William
II. Hobbs, head of the geology depart
ment OF the University OF Michigan,
said before the Rotary Club, at Ann
Arbor, Michigan, in an address in
which he cited the present industrial
and commercial position of that coun-
try. Prof. Hobbs recently returned
from a years trip around the world.
Declaring that reports representing
Germany as facing bankruptcy were
unfounded, he pictured her as a bee
hive with plants working night and
day, yet unable to keep pace with the
contracts and with industry and carry
ing trade gravitating into her hands.
1T is undoubtedly true Germany
to play, the major role in developing
Russia" said Prof. Hobbs. 1T seem2
Germany is the real winner of the war
and she may continue to hold this posi-
ton provided present conditions are
maintained. The only factor that might
halt this development is early revival
Of American competition.

HOLDING THEIR FIRE.
GubernatoraI Candidates Expected to
Wax Warm In the Piedmont.

What does the Piedmont section
held in store for the candidates for
state Offices? This question is begin
ming to take an important place in the
minds of the members of the cam
Eaigning party as the date for the en-
try into the Piedmont draws nearer,
writes Edward Mcdowell staff cores
pondent of the Greenville Piedmont.
Whatever degree of interest the Pee
Dee section and other sections may
have shown in the campaign and the
claims OF the various candidates to OF
flee, the attitude of the Piedmont is
looked forward to in South Carolina
elections and the respect with which
the seekers after political Offices con-
template the Piedmont's verdict
The candidates feel with one accord
that the Piedmont section holds the
balance OF power" and it is in the
Piedmont that the campaign will have
its wind up"
The latter fact will doubtless call for
various "side meetings" outside the
regular itinerary and "whirlwind cam
palgn" for each candidate may expect
to be in order. The mill vote OF the
Piedmont will be courted fcverishly, as
is usually the case.
The campaign party will take its de-
parture Of tho northeastern section Of
the state next week and the rea! en-
try into the Piedmont will be made on
August when the meeting ut York is
held. Next weeks itinerary will carry
the candidates into the counties of
Kershaw, Lancaster, Fairfield, York,
Chester. and Union. Then comes the
second week of rest and after this the
last lap OF the county to county cam.
vass will begin and the campaign
proper of the Piedmont will be under
way, the campaign closing at Spartan
burg on August 25th, four days before
the election.
Whether or not the Piedmont Sec
ton will manifest the same awakened
interest that has been shown in the
races for state Offices in the north
eastern section of the state, of course
cannot be predicted, but in view of
recent developments in the campaign
and the fact that the election will be
nearer at hand, the logical conclusion
is that the apathy heretofore display
ed by the Piedmont in the campaign
will be overcome.
The northeastern section of the state
has furnished the largest crowds Of the
campaign. Net less than 400 citizens
have greeted the candidates in any
county seat in this section and at sew
eral places the attendance has been in
excess of 1900. In several county
seats the large crowds were in attend
ance in spite of rainy weather and bad
roads. Big attendances have not been
