J mooting of thc clubs on the fourth Tuesday of April. The other side did not tah?, t r.y particular internet in tho ' result of he club meetings, while the controlling (action organized a' mutiy of tho precincts and captured the delegates. The uotrlileaae people did not put up any contest for any of the placen to be filled by the convention except for ?orne or the places on thc delega tion to Columbia for the May conven tion The gentlemen named, num bering some four or five, were defeated j on a partisan vote. The majority or the Blouse faction in thc convention wag around fifty out of more than three hundred delegates. The "Slate." As soon ri H nominations were cull- j ed for delegates to the State Conven tion, more than twenty nnme.s were proposed. When the balloting began "lioketH" typewritten on small slip;} of paper were quietly passed around by Biease leaders among the faithful containing a "slate" of delegates to the State convention. This slate, ac cording to a list shown the editor of this paper, contained the following names: J..Mack King. G. M. Fold. J. X. Penrmhn. WV W. Scott. C. E. Harper. S. O. Murdock. Joo M. H. Ashley. W. A. Tripp. ; M. E. Ellison. H. Kelly, J.' II. Wright, Asa Hall. W. I* (rik ey, 8. E Whliton. AU of thcBc names woro placed In nomination except that of Mr. Mur dock and lt ls presumed that the fail ure to mme him waa duo either tn an oversight or possibly- to the doubt as to whether or not he was a dologatc to the convention. Tho "slate" was carried through with ali the smooth ness of the steamroller by'the Biease forces. The fourteenth delegate waa chosen In Mr. C. F. Tolly, who was earlier selected" as county chairman. , - Brawlng the Line?. .,'Jt. wna charged four years ago that the- anil-Blouse forces- took everything In Sight, and the burden of stirring tip factionalism Was placed on them. Whether or not this was tho case, we do not -know, but the political wise acres are saying that tho burden of stirring dp strife this time ls clearly on the shoulders of the men who con trolled yesterday's convention. Thei lines were drawn from tho Jump, and < service to the public and fitness were lesa the teat of selection than the po ijtical opinions of the men chosen. This is what close observers are say ing, and it looks as if the burden cf shouldering whatever factional bitter ness may develop lu the campaign In. Anderson county will rest on ther dri vers of the., steam roller In the con vention yesterday. A Good Man Loses ..Two years ago Mr. T. Frank Wat kins was-chosen as a member of the state executive committee. He ren dered good, service in this capacity, but,on a strictly partisan vote he was displaced by Mr. H. C. Summers. The state executive committee arranges for. the stat* campaign and tabulates the vote in the state primaries. The Strength of Wilson Tho motion of Mr. J, E. Breazeaio endorsing the. administration of Wood row Wilson, went through with a Whoop. There was practically no op position. Mr. B. ?\ Earle, ot Cheddar, offered, an amendment calling upon the* administration to redeem the oi??*. form pledge ot the party to cr.dot Into a law. a system of rural credits. Mr. Breaxeale/fc resolutions contained two Motions, one endorsing the ? national administration and the other pledging tho county delegates ,to vote, ngatruu abolishing tho .couhty-torcounty cam paign; Objection waa raised to PUB-; sing the rciiolutlcnR together, and ac tion waa a3ked on each Item separate* ly. Sheriff j Ashley objected to the Wilson endorsement, .but be did not discuss if, and when tho m?tt?r came to a vote the opposition crumbled to pieces. This action of the convehtlon proved quito conclusively that tho Democrats who oppose President Wil son's nomination are mighty tow and far be tween? The man in tho. Wal tb House ia appreciated down to tho hum blest man In tho"remotest precinct or ilia country, and when U comes to ? to'st Democrats or ail shades of opin ion are quick to voice their endorse ment of the great leader ot tbs party. The Spirit of the Gsuie. At ?cast thTce of the most prominent Blesse loaders tn the contention ware choseu asr delegates' -io the; county Convention from strongly antl-Bleaso clubs-two from the city of Anderson and one from a town in the county. Had the lines been drawn by thou? opposed to these gentlemen political ly, they never would have had the privilege of sitting In the county con vention. These same loaders whetted their political blades, however, and in at least two caseB chopped off the beads of tv.e very men who were gen erous enough to semi them to the county convention. But all's fair in love und war, and the Hame spirit applies to politics too, lt seems. The people may take a different view of the matter, however. The County Campaign Judging from the spirit manifested in the county convention, the lines arc going to bo drawn in the county this summer. The politicians are apt to take the wrong cue and go too far. There 1B an evident disposition among the vot?is to choose men on merit and lltness, and the luckiest office seeker whoBe only claim to consideration is his ability to sr?lng gracefully on to (?onie high muckamuck's coat tails may find himself, -when the votes are counted, in the list or those ".who also ran." ALL MAY HELP. Let's not forget to cooperate with the merchants o? the city in tho effort to closo their stores at tho hour agreed upon during the summer months. A little thoughtfulness on the part of shoppers and telephone customers in making their orders eafly will help matters wonderfully and the salespeo ple will greatly appreciate lt. All through the fall and winter months the clerks have kept long hours, with seldom an evening off, and now that they may have this pleasure let ev eryone help to make the agreement easily carried out. They would never tell you about lt, of course, but you know when you tel ephone an order to the store just al closing time, or hurry In to make a number of purchases about lao time the clerks aro getting ready io leave for the day you make it just that much more difficult for thom to get out. ai all. And certainly we would not In tentionally deprivo even one of such a-clever, painstaking and courteous an array of clerks as are employed In the stores-of Anderson a few hours recreation this Bummer.* Again, wo would ' Bay just remember in placing your orders tb give plenty or time to get them out before the hour decidod upon -to close, and If you hnvo to come down town yourself do not watt until tho last minute. You know how much you enjoy a little outing the.se evenings and you've been getting off evenings all along whenever you've cared to. CONCERNING LIES AM? LIARS -- *. This being election year-and as we will have to go through more than one election here. In the city-it will not be amiss to keep an eye on the fel lows who are always "hcarln* things." Kino times out of ten they can't re number who told them, and eight and ? half times out of ten-If they oro over anxious to tell it, emphasising that they havo heard a lot mort;-they haven't heard anything. They are juBt simply preparing tho way to launch a campaign He. An ugly word, to be sure, and not infrequently used with an alarming degree of careless ness, but information that a man is not willing to assume some responsi bility about, when it concerns his fel low man. ninety-nine times out ot a .hundred, may safely be so branded. . And,then, you know, there are lies and Hes, and liars and liars. All tho lies tim* aro circulated are not "knocking, hurtful lies." Sometimes a ito is used la, an altogether different w.y-gets to the fellow mentioned above, who is always hearing things, ap a "boosting, pleasing story,"1 and travels jost the came. And. too, lt might be well to remember that If a lot of the. things that are told some times in a campaign were really: true, tlie thing would bc thrashed out In tho court.house. . So lt'would bo well just to remem ber--thnt . this ia election year.v and we'll bo pretty apt to bear a great ma ny things that no; orte really over} thought of berocr*.

"This 1? the greatest number we havo ever butchered in I one day since l have been Inspector and is about The same number Hint ls usually killed during on entire we?k Twenty-eight head were killed for the Clemson Cadets." * There is a great deal of disappoint ment in the county over the probable failure nf the oat crops.; since il seems it will be very poer this year.
