6 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. fiatou?v D T eache « dead.

That is about $1 for each vote cast 1 And not all the JAWX-3 a expenses were listed, at that. It is Impossible to list them all, even the. direct expenses. The Indirect expense Is purely specu lative. 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 fice may run riot to an even greater extent than It did In the August pri mary, and still be strictly "legitimate!” Something inevitably is wrong some where, somehow, with a system that works out that way.

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. fuls of Caloclde compound In a basin of warm water.

DN. ll'liM 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. PALMER INSTITUTE OPENS.

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.
