CAROLINA URGED
TO PURGE NAME
OF SHAME
Chairman of Primary Probers
Asks the Aid of People in
Clearing Shame.
COLUMBIA, S r., Sept. 11.—The j
people of South Carolina are called
upon to purge their Mate of the fhanu- ,
and stigma that has fallen upon It as a
result of the scandal and alleged fraud
growing out of the recent state primary
In a statement Issued by W. F. Steven
aen, of Cheraw, chairman of the com
mittee having In charge Investigation
of alleged Irregularities In the primary
Already several thousands of dollars
ha ve been donated by the public to
carry on the probe
Chairman Stevensen. In his state
ment, acknowledges that the task be
fore him and his assistants is a mam
moth one and he calls upon the people
and press of the state for aid. Ho asks
the papers to publish club rolls and
asks the people to study' these, and if
any Instances of fraud are detected to
report to the committee He also calls
for funds with which to pay the ex
penses of the Investigation.
To Clean Up Muddle in Two Weeks.
That the present muddle In which
South Carolina finds herself will be
Cleared up within two weeks, but that
within that time the committee of
seven appointed from the state execu
tive committee to make a thorough in
vestigation of the fraud allegations will
ha ve as much to do as any seven men
could possibly do in a fortnight, Is the
statement of Mr. Stevensen. He prom
ises to let the people know In two
weeks the official result of the recent
primary or else let them know what the
committee has done. In effect, he says
that he and his committee will let the
people know whether the first primary
nominated anybody and will unearth
the charges of fraud or else will report
that they failed to accomplish these
ends and give their reasons why.
Committee Too Busy For Meeting.
The meeting of the committee, which
had been called for today, was called
off, the chairman stating that the com
mittee has too much work to do to be
coming to Columbia again with no defi
nite end in view. He has divided the
committee Into two divisions, one to
work in the eastern part of the state
and one In the western, and these are
now at work hunting for fraud. As ■
aoon as It Is deemed necessary the
chairman will call a meeting of the
whole committee and ascertain the
progress of the work.
Each division of the committee of
seven has employed a force of assis
tants. clerks and stenographers ami
these are hard at work comparing club
rolls with poll lists, tabulating returns,
comparing rolls of one club with an
other and examining affidavits and
other papers showing Instances of
fraud, and one of the most unnsu.il
tasks ever yet undertaken in the stat.-
is under way.
Funds for the Investigation are pour 1
ing into the office of Wille Jones, a I
local banker and treasurer of tin 1
state committee, for the defraying ■!
the expenses of the Investigation. Th i
people have been called upon to con
tribute to the cause of the salvati u ’
of the good name of South Cao lin.i I
Democracy and the purity ~f the bal- '
lot. and the responses are hearty
ready several thousand dollars hav, '
been sent in.

Impossible to list them all, even the.

The Indirect expense Is purely specu

And the election—the real election —
has not yet been held!
It will cost another $50,000 easily.
There were three candidates for gov
ernor, some twenty candidates for state
house offices, some thirty candidates
for solicitor general and judge, twenty
candidates for congress, two candidates
for the United States senate, more than
seventy candidates for state senator,
and some two hundred and fifty candi
dates for the house of representatives.
In numerous instances, the unsuc
cessful candidates spent more tlian
those who won.
One candidate for the house In south
Georgia gave in hfs election expenses
at $199. His salary for the first session
will be S2OO. He broke $1 to the good
on the cost of getting elected!
And the expense of running for of

would agree to pay the direct expense
of the primary—as it should.
Further relief would come, perhaps.
If, by layv. candidates were restricted
In their expenditures to a certain pro
portion of the compensation attaching
to the office sought.
It ought not to be necessary for a
man to be able to spend from $15,000
to $30,000 before he may aspire to the
governorship—either money of his own,
or money from some person or thing
interested In his election.
One dollar per vote cast is too high
a price for candidates to be called upon
to put up for political consideration —
and the presnt price, if the real truth
is told, is pretty well over $1 per vote!
The question of politics is taken al
together too seriously by a lot of peo
ple, anyway.
In considering the question of pover
ty, Addison says:
"Laertes and Irus are neighbors,
whose ways of living are an abom
ination to each other. Irus is moved
by fear of poverty, and Laertes by
shame of it. Though the motive of
action is of so near affinity, in both
and may be resolved to this, 'That
to each of them poverty is the
greatest of evils,’ yet their manners •
are widely different. Shame of pov
erty makes Laertes launch into un
necessary expense and lavish en
tertainments; fear of poverty
makes irus alloyv himself only plain
necessaries, appear without a serv
ant, sell his own corn, attend his
labors and be himself a laborer.
Shame of poverty makes Laertes
go every day a step nearer to it.
and fear of poverty stirs up Irus to
make every day some further prog
ress from it."
Obviously, it is not necessary that
a man be moved either by the fear or
the shame of poverty—and no real phi
losopher is, perhaps.
Why, then, should a candidate with
a conscience be moved either by the
fear or the shame of defeat?
The man who fights for a principle
he conceives to he right and Just may
rest assured, no matter how clear his
own mind may seem to be, that he will
have honorable, high-minded and sin
cere opponents.
If he can get that idea into his head,
why should he be moved either by the
fear or the shame of defeat?
It is, perhaps, from out the imaginary
fear and shame of defeat that the
greater measure of expense in political
campaigns arises.
And that, too, even though there may
be a form of justification for the for
mer, if never for the latter.

RETURNS HOME
Pastor To Be Welcomed by
Flock and Clergy at Taber
nacle Friday Evening.
After an absence from Atlanta of near
ly three months, Dr. Robert Stuart Mac-
Arthur will be present at the welcome
service In the Baptist Tabernacle Friday
evening, September 13, at 8 o’clock. A
special invitation has been extended to
the ministers of the city to be present
at this service.
During his absence Dr. MacArthur sup
plied for one Sunday his former pulpit,
that of Calvary church, New York, and
for ten Sundays the pulpit of Tremont
Temple. Boston. This is one of the great
est pulpits In America Dr. MacArthur
also lectured in assemblies at Marthas
Vineyard and Northfield. He now re
sumes hls work in Atlanta.
Sunday morning next his subject will
be “Establishing Our Work.” In the
evening he will begin a course of sermons
entitled Bible Arithmetic." In these ser
mons he will put old truth into new and
attractive settings. It will be shown how
naturally many passages of scriptures
lend themselves to discussions under the
divisions of arithmetic. This course of
sermons wig illustrate the value in the
direction of freshness and force of new
methods of scriptural presentation. Few
preachers have ever treated the Bible in
this way.
The large vested choir will sing under
the leadership of Professor A. C. Boat
man at all the services, and Mrs. A. C.
Boatman will preside at the organ.

Don’t Pay 50 cents for worthless hair tonics—Use old,
reliable, harmless “Danderine”—Get results.
Thin, brittle, colorless and scraggy
hair Is mute evidence of a neglected
scalp; of dandruff—that awful scurf.
There is nothing so destructive to the
hair as dandruff. It robs the hair of
its luster, its strength and its very life;
eventually producing a feverishness and
itching of the scalp, which if not rem
edied causes the hair roots to shrink,
loosen and die —then the hair falls out
fast.
A little Danderine tonight—now—any
time—will surely save your hair.
