Mrs. Carrie McC. Patrick, who has more sense than any of tne men in Anderson except Judgtt Watkins (we try cases Ibefore him) arose in response to the offer and said that the women were asking no i special favors of the convention. All! they wanted, she said, was to be! treated just like the men. Mrs. Patrick is right. If the wom en are to enter politics and take a hand at running for office they must adopt the methods of the men or improve these methods. What we fear' is that they will grow to be just as ; "lAwHAum" oc +"hn mon I POLITICS IN GEORGIA S. W. D. in Lincoln Journal. This trying to be clever, Enough to fool the hicks, Makes we wish I'd never J Got into politics. One morning last week, having nothing in particular to do, and, not| averse, to swapping a few with the j boys, I started out on a pedal tour J with a view of whooping up my can- j didacy for whatever I am running for. At the first house I approached, the door was opened by a red-headed lady of liliputian dimensions. "Good morning," says I, pleasantly, giving a little gentle impetus with my toe to a mangy-looking hound, who seem ed bent on having a little taste of "candidate for a change,'" "Is the boss at home?" "Yes," says she, in accents sweet as vinegar, "what dot you want with me?" "I-er-er" I be- j gan, suddenly remembering that she; can wield the ballot, as well as the rolling-pin, I?the fact is," says I, I in the General Assembly before the in the General Asembly before the legislature is corrupted, the senate disrupted and the State is bankrupt ed," and handing her a copy of my platform, I asked her to read it. Fin ally, she says, looking at me kind of strange, "I believe you are noncom pementis. JN m, l says, l ain't, my folks are all Baptist, and my grand-parents were all Methodist, but If J ever get religion, I think I'll split the difference and join the non compeses," "Get out of here," she yells, "I'll vote for you, but it will be to put you in a straight-jacket and padded cell," and with that she slams the door in my face. As I sauntered off, I made a mental resolution that I would not solicit any more support from the weaker (:) sex, that it wasn't worth the trouble and risk. The next per son I met was a seedy looking son of-a-gun, riding a flop-eared cousin ?f Balaam's steed, "Good morning," 6ays I, introducing myself, "I am glad to meet you." "Yep," says he, "that's what another fellow said once ?and he beat me out of a hundred dollars in a hoss trade." Well, I am not a horse-thief says I, "though some people say that a candidate is just about as low in the social scale, but be that as it may, I am a candidate, and would appreciate your vote and influence." Well, I don't know," says he, "I might vote for you if nobody else don't run, but as for influence, I ain't had a drop in a coon's age. I think Sheriff Harrison has got the boy's so scared they ain't making any more." I saw nothing was to be gained by arguing with him, I bade him au revoir and ambled on. At the next place I stopped, I was met by a 'grizzled old cuss with a bay window and a No. 10 foot. "What do you want?" he growled. I rattled off my little spiel to him, and concluded by saying that I would be g)ad to have his support. All right, "here's one of 'em now," he snaps, aiming his No. 10 at the part of my [trousers that's used the most, but I was like the Irishman's flea, I wasn't there. I took a flying leap down the steps and made record time getting home, my political ambition oozmg out at every pore. But don't get it in your head that I'm showing the white feather, for I am in the fight to the finish. If some of the conceited, pot-bellied worry-headed yahoos that Lincoln county has been sending to the Leg islature, have been tolerated, I know that I'll be received with a great ova tion. And, my opponent can absorb this at his leisure; If he does defeat me in this race, he'll never look fit for anything afterwards.?Pickens Sentinel. CAPT. SHAW ARRIVES Capt. W. C.

She has just arrived in America from Poland and is now at the home of a: son in Chicago. Feinstein left here today for Chicago. Col. Feinstein will be remember ed in Abbeville as the merchant who sold goods for less at the store on North Main, "I tell you." He could have done a much larg er volume of "beezness," if he had been willing to sell shirts on credit, but he said he had been stung be fore, "I tell you." Anyway all his friends in Abbe ville will rejoice with him that he has the privilege after twenty years of being with his old mother again. May they both live long and pros per!

STARK ATTEND HIGHWAY MEETING Pay Visit to Governor's Mansion, Meet the State's First Lady, Play Game of Setback, usual Acimi. When a reporter for the Press and ( Banner called at the Planters Bank ] this morning for the news, she was ( met at the front door by President j Stark, who told her there was "heavy ( news" today. Further explaining, he , stated that he and Korp. Kerr of the j Kalone, had just returned from Co- j umbia, where they had a game of ] setback with Governor and Mrs. j Cooper. Asked if he thought it best < to mention the matter in the public ( prints, President Stark answered, , "Why, the devil, yes, Kerr would be ] so mad he couldn't eat (a condition , to be imagined only with difficulty) j T>llf fVkrt TVOwm* '' 1 . II J1 UU UIUI1 1/ iuui/ tit uiic Adam laid everything on Eve because he didn't have a nephew. Further questioning brought out the fact that Major Stark was called to Columbia by a double-barreled summons Monday. The Highway Commission was to meet and the Co ops. Marketing Association was also in session that day. Knowing that all the boys around Columbia and most of the men would be glad to look up on Lawyer Kerr's father, the Korp. of the Kalone, decided to go along with Uncle Jim, especially as Uncle Jim had mentioned calling on the Governor while in Columbia. The Korp. had never been in a govern or's house, he said, and he wanted 5pp Jirvw the earnets felt in the Mansion. So they engaged reservations on| the Abbeville Branch Monday morn-i ing arriving at the depot at about 9 j j o'clock so as to take no chances on ^ getting left. Uncle Jim was much . perturbed lest the Main Line at ^ Hodges might not wait on them, though it has always waited daily for the past seventy-five years. Cap tain Brown Syfan could not quiet . him on this score until he swore that ' the Branch was running about ten minutes ahead of schedule. Arriving at Hodges, the two pas sengers went around and shook hands with everybody at the station (they didn't leave it ten fet for fear of ' getting left) and then made inquiries ' | as to the amount of lands planted in | oats, corn, cotton, how the people I were going to fight the boll weevil, ' and whether the Presbyterians or Baptists were stronger in Hodges. The Main Line having arrived by the time they had garnered all this in formation they "mounted her," as the Major expressed it. All along the road they saw lots of strangers and though they asked the conductor the name of every person at each station, it seems that he knew very few of the people along his road. "He was too ignorant to run a train," the Major declared. They saw lot3 of oats as good as Henry Power's, very little cotton planted ,signs of corn and peas, and all the sign boards between Hodges and Columbia. Arriving in Columbia they were met at the station by Col. John W. McKee, automobile king pluperfect, who finally got them into the Jeffer son Hotel by blindfolding them, and backing them in, but once they found the'r way to his room and what was to be had there, they soon had a kind of "pig track" along the carpet; t-Vienrnu/a-rr? Tf tnnlr a crnnA -arViilo get all the cinders out of their ears, "cinders being bad about getting in a man's ears when he rides with his head out of the window," the Major said, but after they had been at the job a good while they finally com pleted it. Having visited the room of Col. McKee about three times more, the visitors were informed that the High way meeting was in session. So they parked themselves in the fine auto mobile of Col. McKee and said that they would be unable to act intelli gently at a meeting of the Highway Commission in Columbia, until they had inspected all the highways and thoroughfares of the city and sur rounding precincts. And they do say that it took about a highway to hold them. By the time they had finished see ing the sights, the Highway meeting had adjourned, but both of the visit ors recalled that Governor Cooper had invited them to the Mansion to Iplay a game of setback (that was away back when the Governor wa^ running for the office and didn't really count) so they decided to go up and take a hand. Major Stark counted on getting through with the Baptist countersign, if nothing else worked. But the Governor was glad :o see them, at least he said so, and Mrs. Cooper came in to look upon ;hem. The Korp. insisted on intro lucing himself, as "the owner of the argest furniture store on North Main Street, Abbeville, S. ., a resident )f Greenville Street, I guess you iave heard of that street, the father >f Lawyer Kerr of the University OXXT n /lAiiam r\-t o" ovuwvij a tuuoni vx x tivj iuiiivi )f New York and the boytime inti mate of all the great men who have jone out from Winnsboro, S. C. in :he last three centuries." He gave limself such a fine recommenda tion that the Governor and Major Stark finally put him off on Mrs. Cooper as a partner (well, women arere made to be imposed on)?Dale Bark3dale or Wide Bradley could tell you the result. Mrs. Cooper has now jemanded that the Governor employ ;he whole state constabulary to find the man who put out the report that ECorp is a setback player. The Korp s in danger of being arrested every ninute. In calculating the expenses of the trip the visitors it seems failed to recall that they would come back lome. So yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock when they had run over in their heads about what the hotel bills ivould amount to, etc., it was found ;hat there was about enough left to )uy an afternoon Columbia Record ;o see if their names were in it and ;wo loaves of bread for lunch. After thinking over the matter and referr ng it to the Ways and Means Com mittee, Korp. Kerr had a bright idea, tfo sooner thought than done. He [lurried down to Col. McKee's place sf business to tell him how many friends he had in Abbeville, how long his visits are apart, how absence breeds discontentment, how much Uncle Jim thought of him, how a lit tle bread cast on the water returns after many days, and what a splendid apportunity he had now to drive up to Ahhpville and exnlain to all his friends why it is that he does not come oftener and stay longer. It didn't take Col. McKee long to see the logic of the argument. So here they are.
