u. s. ANATORS WILL.
Try TO BREAK RECORD

DAYTON, Oct. .1.-(By The AS
ISOLATED Press THE worlds air
plane speed record of 243.68 miles
an hour, made by Lieutenant A. j
Williams, U. S. Navy, in the Pulitzer
races at st. Louis a year ago, is ex-
pected to be beaten by one Of the
three United States army aviators
entered in this event at the Inter
national Air Races to be held here
October 2, 3, and d.
The navy will not take part in
the races this year. This decision,
made early last winter, conforms
to policy whereby tie army is
responsible for the defense of the
Pulitzer trophy against internatic-
nal competitors, and the navy ac-
cepts a similar responsibility with
respect to the international seaplanc
races for the Schneider Cup trophy.
The navy will defend this trophy
against competitors from Great Brit
tain and Italy at Chesapeake Bay
near Baltimore on October 24and
rs.
There are no entrants for the pull
tier race this year outside of the
three United States army men. They
will fly planes that went through
the pulitzer race at st. Louis last
year. Two of the planes, recondi-
toned Curtiss army racers, will be
flown by Lieutenant w. H. Brook
ley, of McCook field, and Captain
Burt Skeel, of Selfridge Field. Mich.
Lieutenant Harry H. Mills, of Will
bur Wright field, will fly verville-
Sperry monoplane.
Wright Field, where the races will
be held this lear has $500 acres
and a grand stand a mile long is be-.
ing built for the spectators.

SUMTER COTTON NOT
GREATLY DAMAGED
Picking Began Tuesday, Says
shalI-Greatest Harm
Is Lowering of Grade


What difference little sun
shine makes. For days this see
ton has watched the heavy Clouds
as they poured fourth moisture,
clogging the wheels Of the farm in
dustry and to some extent inter-
fering with other lines of business.
But now Old Sol is again on the
job The negrots again are in the
fields in many places, picking coz
ton and piling up the fleecy locks,
ready for the jaws Of the gin.
Some picking was in evidence in
Sumter's fields yesterday. Here
and there in the higher ground cot
ton was being taken from the sta,
and placed in the ever-ready sack.
Ginners were preparing to resume
their operations and hands who had
been idle for several days were call
ed back to work this morning.
With the continued cooler wealth
err and warm sunshine, the ground
will dry and the staple win soon
be nshape to pick Sumter's farm
ers are loosing no tine in getting
out the remainder of their crop.
The big jump in price has more
than offset the damage in the
county, cotton men say.
"The fields are drying our rapid
ly in this warm sunshine and the
winds have greatly helped" said
George 0. Marshall, county demon
stratio nagent, Wednesday morn
ing. "T do not consider the dam
age from the rains as great, and
the staple is drying out very rapid
ly. There was some picking yes
terday and toda yor tomorrow will
find all fields in the county in
shape for piekers.
"Cotton down on the ground is
ruined, but there was not much of
that left; most Of the low cotton
had been picked" he says. "Some
seed is damaged and in few
places cotton has sprouted.
There is a loss in grade, of
course, but that is not heavy and
the raise of about SIS a bale has
more than offset the loss, in my
opinion.
"F'rom the information I have
and from what / have seen I do
not believe the ultimate yield has
been materially cult" added Mr..
"What we must do now is to hus-
tie all of the Gotten out of the
fields as rapidly as possible. and
then jump into the destruction OF
The sooner we get these
stalks plowed under, the better Tor
next years crop.
"Our farmers must not forget
that every stalk left standing ON
which there are buds, blooms, green
leaves or other green foliage is a
regular banquet for the weevil. lie
we could destroy every stalk Of Get.
ton in the county now, we would
starve out millions and millions Of
weevls. Stare out the weevil now
and there viii be but few to emerge
in the spring. That means mora
cotton less labor, less calcium and
q greater profit all round.
MY advice to every farmer is to
rush picking and then RUSH stalk
destruction Let nothing stop as
until the stalks are under tho
ground"

The Reasons Why


In statement that is typical Of the
author Gunnar B. Bjornson has set
forth the reasons why he consented
to carry the standard Of the Republi-
can party as its candidate for Con-
gress in the Seventh district. 1t is
an admirable declaration, clearly
stated and well-grounded. Worth
bordering are these extracts from it:
Fundamental principles of govern
ment are an issue in this election.
There are individuals and organ
lied movements seeking to radically
change our system of government and
to drastically alter our manner of
dealing with the basic principles of
economics and industry.
The Republican party is an organi-
zation Of progressive, forward look
ing men and women-not a band OF
iconoclasts, not rampant poiiticai
wrecking crew. The principles of
that party are now, as they ever have
been, founded upon the rock of ma
tional unity and closely interviewer
with the traditions and institutions
of America.
That party stands for no socialistic
scheme of government ownership; it
refuses to countenance any tamper-
ing with the courts of the land, be-
lieving that the judiciary should be
permitted to function as the founders
of the nation and the trainers of our
constitution intended and as that ju-
dietary has functioned since the in
ception of our government.
The Republican party refuses to
subscribe to the doctrine that congress
is superior to the supreme court and
that decisions of the court may be re-,
viewed, revised and revamped at the
within of congress.
The Republican party believes that
the legislative, the judicial, and the
executive branches of our government
have their separate and distinct
spheres and duties and that their
functions are to check, balance and
cooperate in the work of administrat-
ing the business of government, and
not to act as triple brake upon the
wheels of progress.
1t is to carry the standard for those
who thus believe that 1 consented to
become a candidate at this election.
Reserving the right of independent
thought and action at all times, and
refusing to be either blindly led or
driven by any party, clique or boss,
submit my candidacy to the enlight-
ened constituency of the district,
ready to cheerfully accept the verdict
of the polls.-Montevideo News.

Backache Is DiscOur-
aging
But Not So Bad If You Know How to
Reach the Cause.

Nothing more discouraging than a
constant backache. Lame when you
awaken, pains pierce you when you
bend or lift. It's hard to work or to
rest. Backache often indicates bad
kidneys and calls for prompt treat
ment. The best recommended remedy
is Doan's Pills. Profit by this nearby
residents experience:
j. S. McCorkell, Wabasso, says: 81
was troubled great deal with back
ache and every time stopped, sharp
pains darted into the small of my
back. The muscles across my kidneys
were drawn and sore and / felt tired
and all worn out. My kidneys did not
act often enough and the secretion
burned intensely in passage. / start
ed using Doan's Pills and one box
gave me much relief. I was rid of
the backache and my kidneys acted
regularly again. Doan's cured me
of kidney trouble and made me feel
better all over"

simply ask for kidney remedy-get

Corkell had. Foster Milburn Co.,

Marshall Man Has
Thrilling Adventure

The gentleman who had the thrill
ing experience recounted below is a
brother of Mrs. S. A. Appleton of
Redwood Falls.
slack Middleton of Marshall, cousin
of F. j. Sheffield of Brookville, went
to Congo, Africa, last spring to work
in the forest service. In communi-
cation to his parents at Marshall he
gives the following interesting de-
scription of a buffalo hunt in which
he participated last July:
81 was out hunting buffalo with
three native guides and was charged
by big bull elephant. | had my rifle
loaded with soft-nosed bullets at the
time and knew l couldn't stop him
with that. l unloaded the five soft
nosed bullets, showed in clip of steel
jackets and let him have it between
the eyes. He was then about 80 yards
from me The went down upon his front
knees, but got up and started to run.
/ let him have it three times more, as
fast as l could shoot, and at the last
shot he went down-and stayed there.
"He was a big bull, an immense
brute. Don't have any idea as to his
weight, but his one point of ivory
measures Z feet, inches and will
weigh about 80 pounds or more.
There is only the root of the other
point, it evidently having been broken
off some years ago in fight. While
1 won't be allowed to keep the ivory,
l am greatly pleased that my desire
to shoot big game is gratified so early
in the game.
"After had killed him, was fore
ed to do some tree climbing by other
members of the herd-there were five
in ALL"
Mr.. Middleton has visited at the
Sheffield home many times and is
quite we'll known here" springfield
