Great enthusiasm prevails among the owners and their friends, and all the racing fans will be here on Thurs<lotr ^>ia Thoro ia nn mioetion UUJ IVIO td ( VU, A MVi V *W UV \}UVwv?? about having horses here to fill the races. The only fear we have is that they will be too crowded, each race will undoubtedly have seven or more entries in it# The management expects to turn off these races fast and only ten minutes will be allowed between each heat and the spectators will not be required to suffer the delay which has prevailed at our races in the past. If the horse is not out in ten minutes after the last heat closes the race will be started without such horse going. Another feature that will cause great interest in these races is that practically all of the horses will bfe driven by their owners.

He con- : tinned his farming operations and al- I j ways took a keen interest in the agri!cultural enterprises of his county. 1 | At the time of his death he was < state senator for Williamsburg county and was president in the following < local concerns: Wee Nee bank, Wil- j liamsburg Live Stock company, Farmers' Supply company, Fidelity Development and Ginnery company. !

The i still was concealed in the back yard under a pile of straw, and contained ? about 50 gallons of beer ready to be turned into whiskey PERFECT HARMONY PREVAILED AT COUNTY CONVENTION Democrats Meet, Elect Officers and Delegates and Quietly Adjourn. perfect harmony prevailed at the County Democratic Convention Monday. it was almost a love feast. Not that conventions in the past have been the opposite, but heretofore there has been some little '"pep' out into the proceedings by the introduction of some kind of resolution . on which sentiment was divided, or some question lias come up which brought delegates to their feet in a lively battle of words. But there was nothing of the kind at Monday's meeting. Several resolutions were passed without a dissenting vote and the only election in which there was a con-: test?in the selection of thg delegates 10 tne siaie cunveuuuu?was ramer a tame affair in which no one seem-i ed to be particularly interested. One delegate who has attended many coun ty conventions said you could not at- \ tribute this apparent lack of inter-, est to indifference. He said the people so busy they did not have time time to let their minds dwell on matters political like in the days of old | when the average man didn't have( much to do except talk politics. Wait i until times get normal again, continued this gentleman, and a pretty hot contest comes on for some important office and then you'll see the people get interested. The Convention was opened with prayer by Rev. W. C. Allen, and A. B. Jordan was elected temporary president with A. P. Bethea as temporary secretary. The temporary organization was made permanent. A. B. Jordan was reelected County Chairman and A. P. Bethea was reelected Secretary and Treasurer. The following delegates were elected to the state convention: P. L. Bethea, J. H. Manning, J. W. Hamer, E. R. Ellerbe, J. H. David and C. L. Wheeler. Alternates: H. McRae E. R Hamer, E. L. Mooret A. V. Bethea, L. M. Rogers and L.'Cottingham. T. W. Berry was reelected state executive committeema by acclamation J. B. Gibson offered a resolution endorsing the administration, the peace treaty an<i the league of nations which was unanimously adopted. Dr. J. H. David was unanimously endorsed as a delegate to the national convention from this district. The Convention adjourned and those present hear^ a splendid talk t?y dol. Monroe Johnson of Marion in, behalf of the Memorial Campaign for! Dillon county THE WOMAN'S* CLUB MEETS. Mrs. J. Monroe Rogers was hostess to the Woman's Club on Monday afternoon.^ The members and a large number of guests asembled at four o'clock, and were greeted by tha hostess, who :onducted them to a beautifully appointed punch table in the hall, where [ they were served by Misses Effie i Ramsey ana Beatrice Kogers. a num-1 ber of hands of progressive rook! were played, and then Mrs. Rogers' assisted by Mesdames Pierce Rogers! uid Jas. Rowland served delicious block cream and cake, in a color 3cheme of pink and white, which was also the colors used in the vases of carnations and roses which effectively adorned the rooms. KILLS MANY WIVES. The modern bluebeard J. B. Watson, of Los Angeles, Calif, whose own admission of horrible crimes make the bluebeard of story books a tame and anemic person, will spend the! rest of his life, apparently, in San 1 nrlonn t/\ qMno fnp t hP Til It T I^UCIlblU yt tovii bv UWMV *w* ~ der of four of his wives, at least. i He confessed to District Attorney; Thomas Lee Woolwine, on condition; that the death penalty not be asked.' William H. Doran, deputy district at-' torney, today announced that when' Watson, alias Harvey( pleads guilty | here to the murder of Nina Doloney1 the prosecutor's office will ask foi life imprisonment. Perhaps the reason ' for his move is the belief of all offi-' cials here that were the case to come to trial an insanity plea might prove j effective. , I While confession, co\ering sixty typewritten pages, was being transcribed today, Mr. Wolwine, with a number of deputy sheriffs and newspapermen were on way to Borneo j Valley where they hoped to discover the buried body of the Doloney woman. They were following instruc-; tions given by the bigamist. In his confession Watson told of an insatiate desire constantly to marry women and then make away with them. He saij he had always felt relieved when he had killed a wife, five of whom he remembers having killed^ and believed that he had dons his duty. In answer to a direct question he said that he had never had a desire to kill a man, but could not resist the "urge' 'to marry and make away with women of all descriptions and stiata of life. Watson made two attempts to kill himself when arrested ln San Diego some weeks ago, aparently realizing that his game was up. If the district attorney's party does not find the body of the Doloney woman tomorrow Mr. Wolwine will wait until the "bluebeard" has recovered sufficiently to make the valley trip himself, when he will be taken to his private grave yard and made to show the location of the body.

The marketing feature will be studied out and developed along the lines best suited to aid the farmers of the county in obtaining the highest possible price for their cotton. o R. L. Stanton Candidate for Auditor. It affords the boyhood friends of Baldy L. Stanton much pleasure to note tne esteem in wnicn tie is neia in his adopted home. He was raised in the Little Rock community. His friends .remember him as a zealous youth and as one to be reckoned with in mathematics and spelling. That he now aspires to the office of Auditor in his adopted county, Marlboro, is no surprise. For several years he was clerk of the county board of commissioners. He is at present Secretary of the Marlboro Fair Association and treasurer of the Knights of Pythias and actively engaged as deputy clerk of Court. He nas numerous friends in Dillon county who will be glad to hear of his electlon to this office. o "(.host Beckons" ? Whole Town Rttns. Lima, May 3.?The "Guardsmen's Ghost" is lying low and chuckling gleefully at the fuss it has stirred up here. Spiritualists from Lima and many other Ohio towns are here to speak to the "spook.*' The Ohio National Guard is greatly riled up over the seeming cowardice of some members of the local company who were completely routed in their encounter with the uncanny spirit. "Heard Groans." The muss started when V. K. Fries stnd his family wer<? compelled to oc cupy a house at Pine and Albert sis or stay in the street all night, because of the house shortage here. The family declare they heard groans and saw the form of a woman at the head of the stairs beckoning. They requested protection the next night. Several members of the local O. N. G. company volunteered. This is the story one tells: "A truckload of us went out to the place and all went well uDtil 11 o'clock. Then we heard groans. The men began to worry and to whisper among themselves. We stood the groans till midnight, though, and then? "We all were standing near the rear of the house when, at the witching hour of 12 a woman's form appeared at an upper window and beckoned us. Three of the men, Captain Ward, Lieutenant Snyder end Lawrence Bresler, fell as if struck down. "At that, some one let out a yell and we all fled. Fries and his wife and two babies beat it, too. It's no kidding mutter when you meet face to face with such things." Cops on the Job. Police are taking precautions each night to prevent recurrence of the demonstration when a crowd estimated at 1000 men, women and children engaged in a pitched battle with patrolmen in front of the ghost's abode. The throng wanted to enter the house and see whether there was a Drxl lr*r\ rofncnrl ipkfi &UU31* I U11V.C 1 VLUtfvu. ? were used freely, and a number o 1 persons were hit by flying bricks. So were most of the windows in the house. A number of spiritualists from this city and surrounding towns are here trying to talk to the spirit or ghost. So far thP wily witch has eluded them. Police are investigating the whole affair. The house has had the reputation of being haunted. A skeleton is said to havp been found in the house years ago. Families have not lived in it for any length of time for years. o I Harold Letcher of New York spent th0 week-end with friends here. Miss Sarah Barlow spent the weekend in Bennettsville.
