The Democratic State convenvention
meets in Columbia today.
Mr. R. H. Blakeney left ear
ly today to attend as one of the
delegation from Chesterfield
county. Lively times are ahead.
A fight will be made over the
election of a State chairman, a
National Committeeman and a
president of the convention.
John Gary Evans is the present ,
chairman, and B, R. Tillman the
committeeman. W. P. Pollock
will probably be nominated for
president of the convention. ,
Warehouse Commissioner McLaurin
has asked that he be j
given an hour at each meeting
of the county-to county campaign
to talk about the ware- ,
house system. There will be a ,
fight in convention on this also.
When the old tin cans, barrels, j
buckets and mudholes are filled I

pie take pleasure in the musical
maneuvers and boring proclivities
of this little guest, but a surprisingly
small per cent of them
take any part in ihe effort to
"prevent his breeding.
Tin cans and old buckets .
should never be thrown away ,
until holes have been punched
in the bottoms. Water in bar
rels, tubs or pots should be pour
ed out or have enough oil pour
ed on to smother the little wrigglers.
Mudholes and ponds
?"Should be drained. PureTVvater ,
left in the sunshine for four or ]
five days in hot weather will j
breed mosquitoes, or in the (
shade in a lew days more, j
Mosquitoes, like flies, do not
travel tar. When the mosquitoes ,
begin to bite, look around for <
the water. It is often under the j
eaves or in tubs nearby.

Henry Ford to Give Employes a ^
Six-Hour Day (
New York, May 15.?Henry t
Ford is planning to put in effect f
within a short time in his auto- c
mobile factories a six-hour day c
with a minimum wage of $1 an a
hour. This announcement was
made vesterdav hv IrUin p ck;i ^
J ~j JWW 1 Ullll- ?lady,
secretary to the mayor's a
unemployment committee. a
"This statement was made to t
me by one of the responsible t
heads of the Ford Company,"
said Mr. Shillady. *'It means r
that while the minimum waee p
will be $1 an hour, many men in
the plant?the experts?will re r
ceive much more than that.
"The plan includes a six-hour
shift without rest; but this will N
be tried only as an experiment.
If it fails to work out well the a
working shitt will be broken by
a rest pet iod."
