LARGEST CIRCULATION IN EDGEFIELD COUNTY. Wednesday, May 6th. I hardly know so true a mark of a little mind as the servile ;mmitatiou of others.-GREVILLE. County Democratic Convention. The county Democratic conven tion met Monday with lOOfdelegates present, all ot' the ._'<? clubs being tully represented. The convention was formally organized by the elec tion of B. E. Nicholson as presi dent and J. I.. M ?ms and S. .T. Wat son secretaries. Resolutions were adopted endorsing S. T. Carter, State treasurer, and .1. E. Swearin gen, State sun* rintendent ol' educa tion, ami .commending them for their faithfulness as servants of the people. The following delegates were elected to the State conven tion: B. E. Nicholson, J. A. Lott, J. Iv. Allen, ii. K. Tillman, B. I), kvitchings and J. P. DeLaughter. .The Edgeh'eid delegation was in structed to vote as a unit in th i State convention. A. E. Padgett was (dec-led a member of the State executive committee. The lencrtli of tl)?- supervisor's term of office, whether two or four years, was generally discussed and the sentiment of the convention was strongly in favor of making the term four years. Supervisor A. A. Edmunds was present and gave his reasons for contending for four i years, reading letters from the at- i tornej general [riving the law bear ing upon the matter. While no definite action was taken by the I convention relative to placing this i office in the primary il is practical- < ly certain that there will be no elec tion for enanty supervisor until i 1916. Mr. Edmunds will hold the ? office for two more years. In this connection it is but [?roper to state i that tlo- law lixfs the term of office for iii?- county commissioners the same as that for supervisor, their tenn then being four years ,n this i county. i Thc convention was altogether ? harmonious, [inmediately after the ; ? convention adjourned a meeting of the executive committee was held,1 being presided over by !5.

Some time ago an Alabama lady kindly undertook to advise one of her negro maids as to certain rules of propriety that always should be observed by young women to whom attentions are paid by gentleman friends, says the Houston Post. One evening the lady, wondering wheth er her seeds had been sown upon rocky ground, stationed herself in a rocker near the kitchen door, where she was entertained by the follow ing dialogue: "Look her.-, don't you try to git fresh wif me! My name's Miss Smith, not Mary. Ah, don't 'law mah best an' most pa'tie'lar friends to call me Mary." "Ah beg your pahdon, Miss ? Smith, but say.
