Republican State Rule
(Prom the Whining ton Morning NswH,

Republican speakers at mass meet
ings are covering every angle Of the
campaign. For instance, former
Governor Miller talked about the
Democratic criticisms of the State
administration
The Democrats think they have
scored heavily on that point. They
have not. But they have created
the impression that II they had
power they would block the wheels
Of progress and the State would
drift back to the good old Bourbon
Democratic days when hardly any
thing was done, when the roads in
the country were so bad during
winter that the farmers were prac-
tically blocked, and when the people
got little If anything for the money
that was expended, though, Of
coursc, the amounts were far smaller
than they are today.
MIR. Miller pointed out the folly
of comparing expenses Of today
With what thsy were some years
ago. We hear persons making such
complaintx, but they should bear IN
mind that everything has gone up

more than it did thirty years ago,

ELECT SENATOR DUPONT
TAKE NO CHANCE

From the Wilmington Morning News
AS the campaign draws to a
close the position Of the Repub-
leans, it seems to US, becomes
stronger every day. The Democrats
have been whistling to keep up their
courage and boasting and imagining
that there will be big upset at the
polls on Tuesday. Some of them
even hint at Democratic victory.
How in the world did they get such
notions? Some persons opposed to
the Republican ticket have been
making much noise, but that does
not count when the time for voting
comes. The Democratic campaign
has been trife lively here and
there, while at other times the
Democrats seem to be bewildered.
Just think of the actual situation.
The Democrats would throw Senator
Coleman duPort out by denying him
an election, and they would sub
stituts Thomas r. Bsyard AZ ssna-
tor. Yet this Is q time when men
of experience should be at Washing
ton, men Of big and constructive
vision, men In harmony with the
White House.
Senator dupont has the qualifi-
cations necessary for the high posi-
tion-this has been demonstrated
and on that basis the Republicans
are asking for his election. Mr..
BAysrd is jolly, well-lissd by his
and all that. He may have
many hidden qualifications that
would burst forth brilliantly II he
sntsrsd the Senate. but why In the !
mischief should the votsrs Of Della
ware take a chance? They know
What Mr.. dupont would be as Ssna-
or. They don't know what Mr. Bay
.rd would be.
The State does not want a ssns-
orial unknown in the higher house,
md one not in harmony with tbs sd-
and with President
Harding. We think the Democrats
an give no real and valid reasons
OF a change. The voters will not

Democrats do not say specifically
what thsy would discard.
The Democrats try TO give the
impression that in State affairs the
Republicans are reckless. This Is g
mistake. The Republicans realize
the Importance of conserving the
financial interests of the State, and
they are not going to waste money.
They will adjust themselves to pres
ent conditions, and we think the
treasury viii be safe I'm their hands.
But as former Governor Miller
points out in much of this cxpendi-

bond issues, and the like, the Demo-
Gratis were part and parcel of it.

the time no one thought Of CRITICS.

thing IN which the Democrats

the sentiment of tho

The exigencies, however, Of parti-
san considerations have caused the
Democratic speakers and news
papers to assail the State Republic
cans as extravagant when the facts
are that as we have said the ex-
penditures were bipartisan. Per-

FOOTBALL.
From the Washington Post.
Now that the football season is
drawing toward close and fans are
saving their shekels with a view to
doubling or losing them, synics and
pessimlsts in general are attempting
to make much OF the sports en-
thusia5m by making little OF it--and
hyporcritical wits are induisins in
epigrams that play on shsepssin
and piss,in. with thu aoosnt on the
latter. But those who realize the
value OF ort to a nation and that
manly games are worth playing will
proceed gayly with their reading OF
the weeks scores and will be UP
bright and early for the big games
While sports may be carried to
undue length, so can almost every |
other institution that is worth while
and football Is an institution, an
Anglo-Saxon institution, builder OF |
men, a maker OF character. A ma

CONTROL

VEHICLES

Columbia, May 26.-Asuming
Jurisdiction and control over all
motor driven vehicles operated in
this state for hire, the South Caro-

under authority Of the Miller bill

regulating them This was done
subsequent to a meeting of the

were. promulgated early yesterday
evening. They are the fruit Of the
Joint labors of a committee COM
posed of H. H. Arnold, j. y. Pear
man. and J.. C. Coney, Of the com
mission, and adopted by the full
body.
The rules, stated Frank W.
,Shealy, chairman, today were SIM
liar to those of. other states gov
erning such modes Of vehicular
travel, and We're promulgated for
the safety of the public. The COM
mission in no wise attempts to in

posed by municipalities, but is at
tempting to standardiZe and lessen
the hazard of the transfer" "jit-
ney," taxi" and such like modes
Of travel in this state, both as TO
passenger and freight transporta-
ton.
In substance, the rules require,
the. bonding Of owners Of vehicles
against injury to passengers from
negligence Of drivers, or damage
to goods in transit, securing of
state permit and registry Of We
hicles. stoppage before grade
crossing, reporting Of all injuries
and the maintenance of exact
schedules by such vehicles which
are supposed to operate sched-
ule. Monthly reports are required
and no bus or transfer line can
discontinue without the consent Of
the commission. "Overcrowding"
is ,disallowed, as is the operation Of
an automobile by a person under
the influence of intoXicants.

SHALLIP0ISON
THE WEEV1L

Clemson College, May "a
Farmers who have not yet MADE
up their minds definitely whether
or. not they want to poison Will
have to decide this matter without
DELAY, as the season for poisoning
is rapidly approaching and it re-
quires time to secure mach!nes
and calcium arsenate. Before de-
Gliding one should carefully weigh
the following considerations, ad-
vised Prof. "A. F. Conrad, Ento-
mologist:
J.. High Yielding land. 1t is
regarded that any land not yield
ing one-half bale Of, cotton per
acre in the absence Of the weeV1l is
poor land and that poisoning on
such land may not be expected to
prove profitable.
.. Heavy weevil i%nfestation.
Unless checked by unfavorable
weather conditions, we may eX-
pect heavy weevil- infestation over
the greater portion Of the state.
8. Proper preparation for pois-
oning and full determination to APP
plv the poison correctly. By this
is meant properly constructed ma
chimes, through prosecution Of the
poisoning schedule, and a determl-
nation to give it the necessary per-
sonal attention.
Under these conditions, poison
ing properly carried out KAY be eX-
pected to give profitable results if
the weather. is not SO unfavorable
as to make it impossible to apply
the poison correctly. OF course
weather condition is always a Sc
rious factor in farming, and one
that has to be reckoned with every
season. Wherever poisoning is de-
cided upon. we conine our recon-
mendations to busting. because in
every case where profitable results
were secured in carefully conduct
,ed tests. they were secured by dust
ing. Directions for making infes-
tation counts as we'll as for poison
ing are furnished upon application
to the Extension Service.
