TWO SMITHS; TWO KILTS Our attention lias been culled to the fact that i Inn- ls some confusion as' to Hie author of of Hie Smith-Lever bill and we have been asked to ex pluin lt. Till? really hores us, as it has heirn explained hy Senator Smith and by Mr Lever until we thought that everybody understood il. Sena tor Hoke Sini(l) of Georgia, hus been quoted in an Atlanta paper as staling with feeling that Senator IO. I). Smith hud absolutely nothing tn do with the Smith-Lever bill. So Tur as we know, this is absolutely correct, aud we do not know that Senator B. I). Smith's friends have been claiming lt. If they have, they are wrong. The bill in which Senator E. I). Smith was so deeply interested, and in which ir. Lever took a strong hand in the ho e. was of an entirely differ ent natu ?.. The "Smith-Lever" bill, as it wa? called, was a bill to provide for the extension work of the agricultural colleges of the country. Neither Sen ator Hoke Smith cf Georgia, nor Congressman Lever of Ibis state, de serve any special credit for originat ing it, for it was an old bill, that has been introduced In every congress for the past ten or fifteen year.-?. Mr. Le ver introduced a bill of this kind in the last congress, which passed the hmme, and Senator Page of Vermont, introduced a similar bill, which pass ed the senate. The two houses of Congress eould not agree on a com promise on the two bills and so thc measure died. In the present con gress Mr. Lever got the help of Sena tor Hoke Smith of Georgia, and be tween them they g.^t the measure through. Hence, it <d known as the "Smith-Lever" bill, although neither of them originated the main Idea em bodied In thu bill. But the (E. D.) "Smith-Lever" bill to regulate the deuling in cotton fu tures, was introduced by Senator E. D. Smith of South Carolina. He se cured the passage of his bill through the Senate, and it has passed the house, after some amendments, nnd, we understand will become a law In the modified form. This is the bill Introduced by Senator E. D. Smith of South Carolina and rightly and prop erly known as "the Smith Cotton Bill," and not tho "Smith-Lever" bill. There aro two bills entirely differ ent and separate, and both ot the Sen ators Smith helped each other out with their bills. If the friends of Senator E. I>. Smith have been claiming for him the "Smith-Lever" bill, they were in error, for it was the other bill in which he was Interested. We arc informed that Senator Smith hus been working on the bill for a Ions time, and caused a con gressional Inquiry before the bill was introduced.' After it WOB introduced, Mr. Lever amended it in the house, after conference with the department of agriculture. But - each Senator Smith had a bill. A GOOD BEGINNING The county campaign opened pleas antly at Honea Path yesterday. The number ot candidates offering for. po sition makes the matter of public speaking almost unwleldly. The can didates for the legislature and for the state senate have too little time in which to state their views on ques tions of the day. The campaign Itinerary was origi nally devised some 20 years ago, as a "campaign of education" in order to advise thc people as to the condit ion of affairs In the government and also to discuss progressive and re form measures. But with so many to present their personal appeals lt ls Indeed a difficult matter to get broad views before the public. True, there are some who are con tent not to know any more than for whom a candidate "stands" with ref erence to the so-called higher offices. This disposition does not appear to be general and we believo that the people of the county as a wholo are going to inquire, for efficiency and capability as well a* for political standing We believe in give and take. We believe that there are good mon In all walks of life, in all political align? monts, and we are not prepared to ac cept any poor candidate or to reject any good man because of some "issue" which may appear relevant for the moment, but in later years may prove to have been an error. We. have a great county. We all love love its history; love its position in agriculture and in commerce and in education l nd church afta?rs. Let every man In ?electing candidates for all ?nices try to get the mea who will discharge all dutit? f*i?hiully, as well as wisely, and give to the men who are elected our cordial support in the discharge of their duties. We hope and believo \ that the campaign will continue aa pleasant as lt has com menced. ? Newa Is a long time coming from Germany. Who is surprised when'the Germans have such words as freund schuftabund-gessellschaft." A UilOU M?VK We wish to commend the furniere of Anderson county wini have called a mass meeting ai the court house Monday lu discuss the maller of fi naucing Hie ? rup. Thia meeting heru is preliminary to Bending delegates lo the convention in Washington. Then- will he Quite u large party from Anderson, for the Pullman that was to he operated out of here luis already had every her I h taken, we are informed. The meeting of Un* fanners was suggested through this paper several days ago, and we wish to add that it has the approval of the Chamber of Commerce, as Jas. 1). Hammett, chair man, so expressed himself to this pa per before leaving the city for a few day-? rest in the mountains. The meeting in Washington is fraught with much Importun?e, and we believe it will result in much good. We have never feared the ultimate outcome of this proposition, for as we pointed out home days ago the In crease in trade between this country und the South American rep?blica is sure to be BO marked as lo overcome any temporary aet back. Tho only thing which confronts us now ls to hold the situation together until the preaent feeling of timidity and ner vousness wears off. We hoar that a great many mer chants in South Carolina will be in the eastern marketa on the day of the democratic primary. Congressman Wyatt Aiken is a good man, but ids friends in trying to prove bili democracy by John L. Mel.auria ure making a joke. Keep up the militia. We may have to light the army worms. DR. CLINKSCALES GOT AN OVATION His Home People in Spartanburg Think WeU of This Candidate Special to The Intelligencer. Spartanburg, August 8.-John G. CUnkscnlcB, candidate for governor, was given an ovation hy his homo town folks here today. He gave up his time to MB opponents at the cam paign meetlug which WBB attended by a noisy crowd. The administration candidates were given a rousing wel come by the voters. An attempt was made to howl down J. A. Hunter, candidate for lieutenant governor, when he puid a tribute to Dr. E. B. Saunders. There were re peated calls for B. F. Kelly, big oppon ent. W. M. Hamer, another candidate for lieutenant governor, said that on Aug ust 25 lt would be "Hide, Kelly, hide,", and not "Slide, Kelly, slide." Candidatee for railroad commission, er again today denounced the new ex press rates. EXPENSIVE GIFT TO GOVERNMENT Cruesot Steel Works Has Present ed to French Government 26 Batteries Worth $3,000,000 Paris, August 8.-The Creusot Steel Works bas presetted to the gov ernment of France 26 complete bat teries of 15 millimetre guns of a hew type which had been ordered by a foreign government just before the war broke out at a coat of $3.000.000. The company informed the govern ment that it stood ready to pay In demnity for the non-execution of the contract. As the manipulation of the guns require special knowledge, a number of Creusot workmen have enlisted to bandle them. Bishop's Branch. There will be a big picnic in connec tion with the reunion of the old stu dents of tho Bishop's Branch school on the 13tii of August. Mrs. Olivia Evatt, now of ibo Epworth orphanage who taught several years at this school will be a special visitor. CALL IS MADE FOR IMPARTIALITY United German ~ American Re liance Asks For Fairness From the Press New York, August 8.-The United German American Reliance in resolu tions made public 1 today, calls upon the press of the country to accord "impartial and just treatment to alt sldea" In the European ? conflict and condemns what is styled as the "at titude of certain portions of an En glish .speaking American press to spread Impressions Which lead to ha tred of Germany and Germans.. Tho resolution absolves Emperor William from responsibility for tho wsr and attributes it to "France's de sire for the loss ot Alsace-Lorraine; Russia's unappeasable. appetite for world power and England's Jealousy of Germany." The alliance has' formed an aid so ciety to- give financiar help to fami lies of German soldiers and will start a similar movement among Germans throughout tho United States. OF"PEONAGE" MR. POLLOCK ALLEGES THAT DARLINGTON MAN DID THIS A BIG CROWD Attended the Meeting at Darling ton Yesterday-Smith Goes To Washington Special to Thc Intelligencer. Darlington, August K.Approximately 2,:>ei.' voters heard the senatorial can didates here today. Darlington people say that two-thirds of the crowd was anti administration. There were about SOU HI 'ase followers, some from other counties. The meeting was tea tired by the charge by W. P. Pollock thut "Josh Kirvin held a mortgage on a Darling ton county plantation in remunera. Hon for recently invoking the gover nor's mercy for A. C. Tedder, convict ed of manslaughter and sentenced to j life imprisonment. Kirvin is a candi-, date for the state legislature and the charge was made in ??arlington today that this local candidate had been promised the privilege o? distributing state patronage. Tho governor had commuted the life sentence to 20 years on the chaingang before the pardon. Senator Smith departed from' his customary speech for a moment today to make lils first plea of the campaign for the cotton mill vote. A group of nilli operatives were attempting to heckle and confuse thc speaker. Turning directly to these. Senator Smith said he would work for them as faithfully as he had for the, farmers If the mill workers would take him into their confidence. He emphasized this by assuring them that' he"wo?ld make no promise that he would not keep. In the morning a petition had been presented to Governor Blease asking that he call an ext ru session of the legislature to formulate some plan ol concentrated effort to counteract, thc demarulized condition of tho cotton markets incident to the war crisis in Europe. The governor explained that this extra session would be called only on the condition that the members agree In advance to pass a "stay law' which would not admit of tho'fore closure of chattel mortgages. L. D. Jennings, who spoke first, came to the defense Of newspaper men by saying > that the ' governor's carapangn was built largely, on abuse Dt the newspapers ano the newspaper reporters.- Thl8' speAkeY said "that he didn't know anything of the newspa pers' reports of previous campaigns. He did know, though, he added, that the reporters in this campaign were ?glvlng accurate acco?nts?of the meet ings und had not at any Mme told lies sn any man. Mr. Jennings explained that ti e newspapers were educating the pt opie, as to Hie chief executive's record, milch to. tifie despair of the governor. 'He and, ! Mr. Pollock, the speaker explained, had held' up the governor's record from day to day and the governor had not yet had the tem irVty to call them Hats. Senator Smith leaves tonight for iVushington to formulate plans In ad .'ance for the cotton congress.
