REGISTER UP TO OCT 7. ; j . s*. , ^ Governor Sends Telegram to Registration Board of Each County. | - Columbia, Sept. 29.?Veiled hints I in certain quarters tnat tnere mignt 1^ be a bolt from the Democratic pri'm^ry, which resulted in the renomination of Governor Richard I. ManB| ning, has caused leaders of the Democratic party to urge on their voters the necessity of providing themselves with registration certificates so as to vote for the nominees in the gen^^BBeral election. The only remaining ^^^^Bh^nce to qualify is during next week, when the books of registration mm will be open at every county seat. |f- The law calls for the books to be open the first Monday in each month, ^ and Governor Manning this morning, in a telegram to the chairman of every county board of registration, called attention to the law allowing books to be kept open until thirty ^ days before the general election. The governor instructs them to keep the books open until Saturday evening, October^ 7, and to give as wide publicity to this fact as possible. In his telegram to the various f county boards of registration the governor said: "Under section 205, volume 1, ' , code of 1912, books of registration may be kept open for registration of qualified electors until thirty days before the general election. This will authorize you to allow qualified v electors to register up to and including next Saturday, October 7, until v midnight. Please give as much publicity as possible, so that all who are - quhlified may protect their right to I vote in the general election." ON WAY TO WEEVIL TERRITORY. I Gov.

Apropos of a railroad man who had lost heart, stopped struggling. and come to grief, Mr. Hill said one day in New York: "At the bottom, too, there is always room for one more."?Washington Post. i A LADY OF LONG AGO. Pen Picture of the Southern Woman of a Vanished Day. In her social progress she rode in a velvet-lined coach drawn by four or six horses?not one too many for the mud holes to be pulled through in those brave times, writes Octavia Zollicoffer Bond in Southern Woman's. Her negro coachman, in cloth coat and brass buttons, who could be trusted to drive her a hundred miles in safety, skilfully handled the lines, while liveried footmen swung jauntily to the carriage straps behind, ready to spring to the ground, open * i 1 , i* . 1 J ! the door and letr down tne ioiamg steps at the will of the mistress. As to her wholesome life at home, Thomas Nelson Page has covered the case in asserting that "The system of living in the South made the domestic virtues as common as light and air." Housewifely thrift and executive ability of a high order made the home of the Southern woman who was true to the type an Eden for all who partook of her hospitality. Good cheer, order and beauty prevailed from the entrance hall, impressive with its array of ancestral portraits, to the clean and ample kitchen and servants' quarters. The well-filled smoke house, the poultry yard astir with fowls, the pantry supply'of jelly, pickle, cordial, "bounce" and prefVia collar ctnpVpd with the T vu, V\/A*MA . .... choicest vintages of the old world, and the garden growing with every herb, vegetable and flower known to the new, were results of the industry of the lady bountiful of ye olden time. And, withal, the "swept and garnished" guest rooms, as rarely unoccupied as vacuums occur in nature, were dainty with lavender scented linens, waxed floors and polished mahogany. IS INDEED "CAR COMPLETE. Roadside Motor Camp is Queerly Constructed and Equipped. If you see what might be a landgoing submarine or an amphibious shark, do not be startled. ! It probably is merely the "Car Complete <and Roadside Camp" out for a trial before it starts tomorrow for the Pacific coast. The hybrid automobile has a regulation Stutz chassis which carries a body built as nearly as possible like that of a motor boat, fitted with more than a hundred devices to make it the most completely. equipped automobile that ever started across the continent. It carries a camping outfit for Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Law and Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Mais, who will ride in it. Instead of a radiator, the car complete has eight port holes in its battleship gray hood. In place of small front lights there are red and green lanterns at port and starboard. A ship's bell makes it sound like an auxiliary fire truck. Wicker chairs, made originally for a motor boat, take the place of seats. And at the end of the long, slim body is a miniature propeller, merely decorative, and a flagstaff equipped with electric lights so that the flag is illuminated by night. Tents, cots, pneumatic mattresses, and all the other essentials of a camping kit are packed on the running board. A bark, a bell and a whistle are the methods by which the car complete will clear the road. It has no ordinary wind shield, but a round pane of glass, like an immense j goggle. When the car complete makes a sudden stop a lever is pressed and a red* signal, like the block arm on a railway system, swings out to warn machines following.?-New York World. DEMAND MODE FOR COTTON. Farmers' Committee Says Planters Can Force High Prices. \ Columbia, Sept. 28.?At a meeting of farmers in the Jerome Hotel this afternoon a committee, consisting of R. M. Cooper, E. W. Dabbs and W. A. Stuckey, drew up an address to the farmers and business men of the State, outlining in their opinion that cotton will bring much higher prices if held. In part they recommended: "We are reliably informed that in this State there are mills that have sold their products at a handsome profit based on twenty-two cents a pound for short cotton and other mills at from thirty to forty cfents a pound for staple cotton; that these prices can be had if the farmers and business men _will but join in demanding them and refuse to sell for less. "How much higher prices may go we would not like to predict. We have heard of well informed men who look for thirty cents for short cotton per pound, and ninety dollars a ton for seed at high water mark, depending upon two things, the further increase of money in circulation and a full informing of the farmers and business men of the State of the true value of cotton and cotton seed, compared with the cheapness of money and the small supply of cotton."

T Sumter, Sept. 29.?The thirty- ^ third annual session of the Woman's JT Christian Temperance union got into t A full swing today and much business + was transacted in the three interest- ^ ing sessions held.

Practically all of v the officers of the association, and I delegates from many of the unions,' t are in attendance on the convention, V Mrs. Joseph Sprott, of Manning, the ^ State president, being in the chair at the meetings. I*f*l The feature of today's sessions was the address by Miss Anna Adams J Gordon, of Evanton, Ind., the nation- ^ al president and world secretary- of ^ the Woman's Christian Temperance union. Miss Gordon made a thrilling ^ talk of the fight which had been waged for many years to eradicate t the liquor traffic and how sentiment f was gradually crystalized against it ^ and the efforts of the workers were meeting with success. She told of the fight in its early stages, giving many incidents of what she had seen t A and known in those days. Her ad- J dress was most enlightening and held ^ the attention of her auditors throughout. ^ Six of One. V ? Y Detective William J.
