STEADMAN MAKES
SOCIALIST FIGHT
Debs. Behind Prison
Bars, Saying Little
In Campaign
CHICAGO, Sept 9.—The big issue'
in the Socialist campaign this fall
it as usual private ownership of the;
means of production, Otto Branstet-
Vr, national secretary and campaign i
manager of the Socialist party, said i
her etoday discussing the Socialist
campaign.
The League of Nations issue was
viewed by the Socialists as “largely)
camouflage,” he said. The party
felt that the league question had
been introduced by the old parties)
largely to cloud the issues and keep 1
the people’s attention off domestic 1
issues. _ I
Eugene V. Debs, the Socialist
presidential candidate, in prison at
Atlanta, Ga., was not advising in the
conduct of the campaign to any ex
tent. Use was being made in party’
literature of what he said to Social
ists visiting him.
The chief speaker in the campaign
ir the vice-presidential candidate, 1
Seymour Stedman, of Chicago, re-in
forced by 40 speakers or more under
the national organization. He has
completed a tour of the southwest;
and on September 1 started for the]
Pacific coast. After making a
round of the central states he plans;
to go east about October 1 for the*
balance of the campaign.
. S“cretary Branstetter said the
iy expected to be on the ballot in
practically every state where it has
previously had a vote of any conse
quence. It does not expect at this
time to get on the ballot in Vermont,)
Louisiana, New Mexico, South Da
kota, Idaho and possibly in several
other states in the south and west. ,
The three big states this fall from
the Socialist standpoint, Branstetter
said are New York, Wisconsin and
Oklahoma. He said the party ex
pected to poll a larger vote in these
states than ever before . |
A large part of the party member
-h n outside of the foreign language
federations has come back, the So-'
cialist executive reported, referring
to 4 he split, last fall which resulted
in -formation of the Communist par-,
ty and the Communist Labor party.
' No policy of concentration in sec-,
O -<c where Socialist sentiment is
stT'ig will be carried on by national
'beadquarters, according to the party
secretary. He said that the national
office was making the campaign as
general as it could, leaving concen
*-Ttion to the state organizations, I
vA’ch could undoubtelly carry on
•irh a policy in New York, Okla
bcma and Wisconsin.

STRONG FACULTY
FOR THOMPSON
County School Starts
Auspicious Year With
Nearly 100
Thompson’s high school began its
fall session Monday with a full at
tendance of pupils and patrons. In
teresting talks were made by those
present, but those which need spe
cial mention were by Mr. Nicholson
and Mr. Phillips. Owing to the fact
that another truck has been added
to this school the enrollment; was
nearly 100 and it can be said safely
that before October begins it will
go beyond 100. Rev. C. A. Phil
lips, with whom nearly every one in
Sumter and adjoining counties is well
acquainted, is principal. Mrs. Oscar
McLendon again has the primary
work and Miss Emma Wiggins the
intermediate and Mrs. Williams the
domestic science. The entire facul
ty is experienced and talented in their
work. Mr. Phillips taught this school
for 7 years but owing to the active
work he did during the war he re
signed and did not return until this
fall, but he found his position await
ing him. Miss Wiggins has taught
a number of years in Sumter and
has proved her worth. Mrs. McLen
don, too, is one of Sumter’s teach
ers having been a member of this
faculty for 4 years. This school is
one o gthe best in the county and
has been in the lead for a number
of yfers and with their faculty, pat
rons and the best of trustees all with
minds as one they are striving to
stay in lead.

Weather Bureau Now
Charts Upper Regions
NEW YORK, Sept. 9.—To com
ply with the demands created by,
increasing air travel, the United
States Weather Bureau at New York
is now including in its daily report
of weather conditions, a statement
as to wind direction and force in the
upper regions. One such report re
cently issuesd by James H. Searr in
charge of the New York office of
the Weather Bureau, contained the
following paragraphs:
“Steamers departing today for Eu
ropean ports will have fresh to
strong-northeast to north winds and
generally fair weather to the grand
banks.
“The winds up to 10,000 feet are
easterly but shift abruptly to wester
ly above 18,000 feet.”
These indicate that the importance
of air travel has been recognized on
a parity with sea level. The data is
obtained, he said through the army
and navy authorities at Mitchell Field
and at Rockaway beach, where daily
observations are made by means of
barometers, wind gauges, etc., sent
up attached to captive balloons.
Carload of Horses
Received at Plains
PLAINS, Sept. 9—A carload of
fine horses was received in Plains
Tuesday. There were buggy horses
and saddle horses of any gait. The
animals seemed to be in fine condi
tion and they-attracted much atten
tion. The horses belong to J. B. Clark
and will be sold by him Li the country
around. This was rather an unusual
sight since automobiles are so much
in evidence.
