Betting on Elections.
Occasionally one hears here and
there of a bet on a local or state elec
tion, but in this part of the country
the evil has not grown to any great
proportions. However, in the large
?cities it is an increasing evil and
.should be condemned not only be
cause it is a transgression of moral
and civil law but also because it
tends to influence elections, thus
subverting the cause of good 'govern
ment. The State has the following to
say editorially this morning concern
ing the increasing evil of betting on
elections :
"Betting is generally called a vice.
Clergymsn, teachers and all of the
accredited moral agencies and agents
condemn it. The laws everywhere,
state and municipal, prohibit it.
"Nevertheless, when an election is
imminent the betting on elections is
not only reported but given conspic
uous place in newspapers .Conserva
tive journals in great cities publish
on front pages the odds for and
against candidates and the custom
has gained rapidly in late years.
The names of brokers handling bets
are printed and nothing is thought
of it.
"The betting, while the odds are
often misplaced, to a degree influ
ences the trend of elections. Publi
cation of the news of it increases
the betting and augments its weight
as a political factor. It is coming to
be recognized as legitimate and its
insidious influence for corruption is
increasing."

Tolbert Totally Unworthy of Position
He Holds.
It will be shown from the follow
ing editorial taken from the Spartan
burg Journal, embodying a letter
from Senator Dial, that Joe Tolbert
is totally unworthy of the position
of United States marshal of the Wes
tern District, yet being under Repub
lican domination we are powerless in
htis state to help ourselves. Senator
Dial has persistently fought Tolbert's
confirmation in the senate but Presi
dent Harding made a recess appoint
ment which will give Tolbert the
place at least until the senate con
men es again.
Senator Dial and Joe Tolbert.
To the Editor of The Journal:
I notice an editorial in your paper
lOf Saturday, the 28fch, in reference
to the confirmation of Joseph W.
Tolbert as Marshal for the Western
District of our State, where you
speak of Judge Watkins swearing in
Tolbert as follows:
"We do not know what the facts
are, but we have not the least doubt
if Tolbert had been convicted, as
Senator Dial is said to have charged,
of embezzlement in the Western
District of this State, he would not
Iliave baen sworn into any office of
the Federal Court of the Western
^District in a thousand years if the
present judge could keep his health
that long. This, we should think,
?would be a matter of much interest
to the full senate, and the regular :
readers of the Congressional Record,
in the debate on the abuse of the ap
pointing power by the President." (
Don't put any "ifs" in this proposi
tion. It seems you question my ,
statement. I said the records show .
he was guilty of embezzlement and
I had a certified copy of the record
from C. J. Hutson, Clerk of the Unit- '
ed States District Court at Charles
ton, S. C., and attested by the seal
of the Court, and I filed this record
with the sub-committee of the Judi
ciary Committee of the Senate. The
trial was had at Greenville before !
tile Western District was established.
If you or any one else want to
see a copy of the record, it's a public
matter, and if you will write to Mr.
Hutson, in Charleston, you can get
it, or if you will write to my office
in Washington, we will send you a
copy, or if you will write General
Bonham, in Anderson, he will send
you a copy, as I saw in the paper he
Ind one.
I do not make statements unless
I have proof to verify them. Fur
thermore, there's no harm of accus
ing the Republican paity of any and
everything. Almost c.aily I accuse
them of wrongdoing on the floor of
the senate. Of course, it's the best
to have the proof, but you can make
general charges, such as stealing,
selling offices, buying votes, robbing
the people by special laws, confiscat
ing a large part of tho value of the
crop and many other iniquitous mat
ters whereby they plunder the people
for the benefit of the classes.
Anyway, the point I am making in
this case your editorial seems to
question the accuracy of the convic
tion of Tolbert, and, as aforesaid,
my information is a certified copy of
the record of the Cou-t. Of course,
I understand you did not mean to
misrepresent anything I said, but I
want to keep the records straight.
Please give this any publicity you
see fit.
Kind regards,
Yours truly,
N. B. DIAL,
Laurens, S. C., Oct. 30, 1922.
This is a very inters ting letter, to
be sure. It sets Senator Dial straight
-nobody has ever said he was crook
ed, and certainly we have not ques
tioned any statement he has made in
the Tolbert case or any other matter
he has discussed in the Senate. Care
ful reading of the paragraph quoted
from The Journal by Senator Dial
will show him that the "ifs" employ
ed by us did not suggest any doubt
of the accuracy of any statement he
may have made in this case. "If" the
Senator will "read, mark, learn and
inwardly digest" the fourth para
graph of his entertaining letter he
will see that "if" he had sent the
"record" in the Tolbert case to The
Journal, that invaluable publication,
devoted to preserving the truth of
history and the welfare of the peo
ple, would not have deemed it best
to refrain, in the circumstances, from
making a direct quotation from him.
In the meantime, it ::s to be hoped
that the Senator will b= so refreshed
and strengthened by visiting around
among his friends that he will re
new his fight against Tolbert when
Congress reassembles and keep it up
until justice and decency triumph.

Hens or Pullets?
Clemson College ,Oct. 30.-'Tis
the pullet that lays the profitable
egg. Investigation has shown us that
the pullet produces a greater num
ber of eggs than does a yearling bird.
Also, that the pullet consumes a
smaller amount of food material. All
of which shows that the pullet is
more profitable than the hen.
In a poultry flock, says N. R.
Mehrhof, Extension Poultry Special
ist, we find that the ratio of pullets
to hens is two-thirds pullets and one
third hens. However, we must con
sider not only egg- production but
also the breeding stock, and perhaps
the yearling will make the best
breeders. The reason for having two
thirds pullets and one-third hens is
that greater egg production results
during the pullet year and also it
gives the practical poultryman a bet
ter chance to cull out his poor pul
lets and keep only his best for breed
ing birds the following year.
In the poultry business, we find
that when the hen becomes older she
produces fewer and fewer eggs; she
lays the largest number during her
first year; fewer the second, and so
on through her life; so birds should
not be kept for egg production after
they are two years of age.
Mysterious Pains and Aches
Make Life Hard to Bear for Many,
Edgefield Women.
Too many women mistake their
pains and aches for troubles peculiar
to their sex. More often disordered
kidneys are causing the aching back,
dizzy spells, headaches and irregular
urination. Kidney weakness becomes
dangerous if neglected. Use a time
tried kidney remedy-Doan's Kidney
Pills. Hosts of people testify to their
merit. Read au Edgefield case:
Mrs. D. A. Frick, Edgefield, says:
"My kidneys gave me trouble and
there was a small spot on my back
that was as sore as a boil. My back
was weak and I tired easily. It was
an effort to do my housework. My
kidneys acted irregularly and I felt
run down. I used Doan's Kidney Pills
and it wasn's long before I was feel
ing a great deal better and was able
to be about again."
Price 60c at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mrs. Frick had. Foster-Milburn
