mated the total enrolment will pass

cent. of these are women. The last en-
rollment was about $500.

from the largest precincts:
Courthouse enrolled 700; Cheraw
No. 1,-596; Cheraw No. 2,-155;

WOULD HOLD EVENLY SCALES
OF JUSTICE, SAYS LANEY

The following extract is from the
speech Of Senator Laney at Camden
last Monday:
George X. Laney also emphasized
that if he were elected he would do
his utmost to see that all laws of the
state were enforced impartially. He
would seek at all times to hold evenly
the scales of justice between the high
and the low and the rich and the
poor.
Mr.. Laney said some one was to be
elected governor within the next few
weeks. He did not know whether
they wanted man like him for gov
ernor, man of the people, from the
people and a man for the people. The
Chesterfield candidate spoke earnest
ly of his efforts in the general assem-
bly, 20 years, which he said were al
ways with an eye single to servie
for the masses of the people. He
uStu always sought W De cCOiloillCdl.
He had fought for lower appropria-
tions so zealously that he had been
often regarded as crank. He would
fight for a reduction of a sum so
small as $500.
1t was foolishness to tell the peo-
pie that the legislature had made
them bankrupt. The voters knew that
the legislators did not cause any man
to go hungry. At the last session of
the general assembly the appropria-
tions of the state were cut from S.
100000 below 1921 and 100000
would be raised by new tax measures
for which he had taken the lead in
having created. These new measures
had cut the state levy five mills, this
amount being taken off real estate
and personal property. Mr.. Laney re-
ceived several punches of flowers
when he had concluded.

l. b. MERRIMAN UNAFRAID

Mr.. I. B. Merriman walked into
The Advertiser office several days
ago with handful of fine long staple
cotton, l n inch, that was opened this
season.
He has ninety acres of this cotton,
planted on and around April 18th,
which began to open on the 26th of
July. This cotton, which he calls 90
day long staple, he developed from
two varieties. He believes he is going
to pick the largest yield of cotton this
year that he had had in sevral years.
Mr.. Merriman is by far the most op-
timistic farmer on the cotton outlook
with whom we have conversed this
summer. He firmly believes he has the
solution Of the boil weevil problem,
which is briefly: "The use of a quick
producing variety; early and repeat
ed use of sweet poisoning; proper
fertilization and rapid cultivation"
AS to the results of his method of
poisoning he cites the fact that last
year he was eaten up with weevil and
this year, though they were present in
his fields early, there are none to
be found there now.
He believes that if the weevil should
suddenly appear in his fields now in
great numbers he would be too late
to do much harm as his crop is prac-
tically made.

so ILL OF POISON PIE;
PANIC ON BROADWAY
From New York Times:

From New York Times:
Ambulances from all parts of the
| city yesterday rushed to Broadway,
between Twenty-fifth and Twenty
sixth Streets, where between fifty and
sixty victims of blackberry and
| huckleberry pie were writhing in ago
ny.
Eight or ten stomach-pumps were
being operated at once in the Towsend
Building at 1928 Broadway and in
nearby office buildings. Nearly all
those who were suddenly taken ill re-
ported that they had eaten pie in a
restaurant in the Townsend Building.
An inquiry was made to discover
whether line of poisonous pastry had
been sent out by any wholesale house,
in which case similar stomach-ache
panics might follow all over the city,
but it was discovered that the restau.
rant in question advertised that all
its pastry was made on the premises.
The first victims of the ill-made pie
sickened between and o'clock in
the afternoon. Men and women en-
ployees in Offices fell over on the floor
or cried out in agony. Panic prevail
ed on some floors in the Townsend
Building as one employe after an
other turned pale, then blue and be-
gan to complain of intense pain.
At first private physicians were call
ed.
They administered emetics and sent
for stomach pumps. The first physi-
clans were helped by volunteer assist
ants. among the other employees. But
the volunteer assistants began to
grow qualmish and uneasy and the de-
mand for stomach pumps outran the
supply.
Office after Office was converted in
to an emergency hospital. Big build
lngs began to take on internal appear
ance of ocean liners after the first
rough sea. 1t soon became apparent
that there was some far-reaching COM
mon cause for all the agony. Never
having heard of stomach-ache epi-
demic, physicians began to cross
examine the least afflicted of their
patients. The sick ones told where
they had lunch and what they had
eaten. The sick ones had all lunched at
the restaurant nearby. They had all
had pie.
Before the eight or ten private ply
slcians had finished tracing the cause.
the casualties had become so heavy
that employees were sent out for am
balances. Calls for help were repeat
ed until ambulanccs from New York
Bellevue and two other hospitals had
arrived.
All hands were orded to the pumps
Between fifty and sixty had been
treated before the last of the victims
discovered their plight.
