NOTICE
To the Voters Of Sumter County:

| err | got two hundred votes in
Americas or fifteen hundred. Do
you? There was no tally sheet to
show the result. only have MIR.
Jones' word for it. And I don't
know whether he was right the first
time or the last. Though he
said he did not say the first.
Now Mr.. Fort, secretary of the
Executive Committee, did | get a
square deal in this count? Did
the other people in this race get
square deal? Did the nine hundred
good ladies and the eleven hundred
men in the 9th district get a
square deal? You say you won't
count them over, because it is not
lawful. Why did you not stick to
the law on the count and disposi-
ton of those votes? You ought
to have known the law. And
think you did. Let's see what the
law says.
First. How primary election
is conducted. Park Code, Vol. l,
Sec. 1877: "AlI managers shall be-
fore entering upon the discharge of
their duties, each take and SUBJ
scribe an oath that he will fairly, inn
partially and honestly conduct the
same according to the provisions Of
the law providing how primary
elections shall be held in this state,
and in accordance with the laws of
this state governing regular cleo
lions for the officers of this state"
Sec. 1873 Park Code Vol. /: AT
the close of the election the man
ager shall proceed publicly to count
the votes and declare the results"
Did you count them publicly?
No!
| Third, Sec. 1873, Vol. 1. Returns
of managers, how filed and con-
trolled. "The return of the man
ayers, with the tally sheets, list of
voters, together with all papers
connected with said election, shall
be filed in the office of the Clerk
of the Superior Court, within four
days after the final declaration of
the results thereof"
/ Have they done this? No! There
is no tally sheet on the tax coIIec-
tors race. How can they file what
they have not got?
MIR: Fort, why did you tally the
school superintendent's race and
no other?
Let's see what the law says
about tally sheets.
ihere shall be kept by the SUI
perintendent or by three clerks un-
aer their appointment three lists of
the names of voters, which shall be
numbered in the order of their vot-
ing. And also three tally sheets"
Look at chapter three, article
four Park Code, Vol. /:
II said superintendent does not
deliver said list and accompani-
nhehts to said clerk within three
days from the day of election, they.
are liable to indictment. Anv SUI
perintendent failing to discharge
any duty REQUIRED of him bv law
Is liable to like punishment.
Now Mr.. Fort, have the man
ayers violated the law? Yes! How?
"nen they failed to count the votes
ru0iiciy' when they failed to tally
the votes and when they failed to
-" . the ballots and all papers on
TINS election with the clerk of the
Iourt within three days after the

want to thank each and every one
who voted for me on March 18TH
appreciate the vote you cast for me-
and the help that you gave. Also
the kind and courteous treatment
you gave me in my campaign. Why
have | not thanked you before
now? | have been trying to get
votes in the 9th district counted
over.
On what grounds do | want them
counted over?
On the grounds that they were
counted illegal, and announced
twice with different results each
time. Have | succeeded in getting
them counted over? No! Though
have offered to pay all expenses.
What's wrong? Why won't they
count them over? | will try to
show you before | finish.
The first announcement of the
ladies' vote in the 9th district gave
me 657, MIR. Small 234, Mr.. Thrash
err II. MIR. H. o. Jones changed
that and gave Mr.. Small est, my
self 234, and Mr.. Thrasher IL.
asked MIR. Jones which was right
and he said that he would stand on
stack of Bibles as high as the
! Windsor hotal and swear that the
ladies' vote was not announced but
once.
Some of the managers that help
ed count the votes and about ten
or twelve good citizens of the coun-
ty say that they were announced
twice with different results. And
these good people won't have to
stand on the Good Book for you to
believe them. That's the trouble,
too many people are putting the BIZ
BILE under their feet and are not
reading it enough.
Am ! beat? Yes! So far
Did my opponent get more votes
than did? don't know. Do YOU?
There is no tally sheet to prove
same.
What have | done to get them to
count them over? | saw most of
the managers, and three of them
agreed to count them over free of
charge. Mr.. Jones said he would
not count them over unless he was
paid for same.
Now the next thing | did was to
try to get the consent of the exc.
cutive committee to let them count
them.
What did they say? See Mr..
John Allen Fort. He is the score
tary. What he saws zoe.
| saw MIR. Fort. He said
there was no need of that M
Small got lots more votes than Won
did. asked him how he kna,,
when there was no tally sheet He
said his pile of votes was laraa~

How do you know Mr.. Fort, when
you were out in the hall stand;nn

Mr.. Fort, why did Mr.. Jona.

Massachusetts Had
First Nail Machiner,

There is no date in history fixing
the first use of nails. Up to a century
ago they were still exclusively hand
made. and even as late as 1850 1t was
a general custom In this country for
the nail maker with his forge and an
vii to come with the carpenter to
make the nails needed In the erection
Of building. The first Matchmaking
machinery originated In Massachusetts
In 1910 to make cut nails from steel
or Iron plates. The use Of cut nails
Is now greatly reduced by the intro,
duction of machinery and wire nails,
which came into the United States
from Germany in 1875. II was discov.
cred shortly after their Introduction
that they did not have great holding
power. This defect was overcome In
1882 by Ira Copeland of Whitman.
Mass, who conceived the idea of
coating them with vegetable gum, the
result being to give them even greater
holding power than cut nails.

Psychology of Boosting.

1t does not requite IA very good
memory to recall the time when
men SHE'D at the word psychology
Now it rolls off the tongue of the
average after dinner speaker with.
out any apparent effort on the part
of the speaker.
Fifteen years ago it was regarded
as something that should be dis
cussed only by the, very learned and
as fit subject for college and
univerity study.
But today the man in the street
speaks of psychology f1uently and
never acts as is he had said or done
anything out of the ordinary.
The dictionary says that psychol.
ogy of this, that and the other
thing.
Most Of all. perhaps, in everyday
use, psychology is connected with
boosting and knocking.
Reduced to its simplest terms
the psychology of knocking is the
constant reiteration of the same
complaint about any given subject
that creates state of mind among
the people which leads them to
ac ept it as Gospel"
The same holds true with re-
spect to boosting. 1ncessaut and
treless boosting eventually causes
optimistic views to prevail.
Most anything within reason is
possible through right thinking
and right talking. We can pro-
duce the proper mental attitude
with optimistic talk.
What has been done elsewhere
can be done in Dolores.
We have the natural and inherent
resources needed to build a thriv.
ing and prosperous community.
There is nothing wrong with
Dolores now, except that the
psychology that we hear so much
about has been applied in the
wrong direction.
All that is needed is to turn il
around and start it in the other di.
rection.
Every resident of Dolores will
have to begin telling his neighbors

Vets Die Hard.
re vets are dieing hard.

The vets are dieing hard.
Their battle to nullify the Vol.
stead act, and eventually the eigh'
teenth amendment, is now centereo
in congress where there are no less
than fifty-nine bills pending.
The vets are still hiding behind
the smoke screen of light wines
ana beer. They are hoping against
hope that they can gain this enter
ing wedge. The problem confront
ing them is to be able to delude
enough people into believing tina,
light wines and beer would be an
Improvement over the present bone
dry" law.
Beer advocates claim that they
have not placed all their eggs in
one basket, so that if all of their
fifty-nine bills are unfavorably
reported by congressional commit
tees, they still have a card to play.
The new rules of the House pro-
vide that if a measure is not favor
ably reported by a committee, it
may be brought upon the floor by
petition. Signatures of $50 mem
bers are necessary to force COM
mittee 10 discharge bills.
Wet congressman admit they
have little chance in the House
judiciary committee and they are
pinning their faith to the new
House rule.
In the meantime, drys should be
alert, for it's barely possible that

tributes of his home community.
Then we will begin to see results.
There may be some who will not
want to indulge in this practice;
whose mind has been working in
the pulling backward groove SO
long that it will not function in any
other direction.
For this reason, the responsibility
rests all the more heavily on those
who want to go forward.
Constant repetition of the posi-
bilities of Dolores will eventually
overcome those whose thinking
has been in reverse.
If the people of Dolores will sci
their minds and hearts to the job

Peculiar Bark on Tree

The characteristic of the shagaark
hickory from which 1t derives Its
name, is the peculiar manner in which
the bark is attached to the trunk, says
the American Tree Association Of
Washington. This is light gray and
from one-half to three-quarters Of an
inch In thickness. 1t separates from
the trunk in thick strips from few
inches in length to from two to three
feet and from one to six inches in
width. These strips retain their at
tachment to the tree at the middle
and usually curl up at each end, CIV
ing decidedly rough and shaggy ap,
pearance to the trunk.
