Gen. Wilie Jones Announces Dates for Meeting of Clubs. The Columbia State says Gen. Wilie Jones, chairman of the state demo cratic executive committee, stated yesterday that the campaign inci dent to the party primaries will soon commence. He expects to call the ex ecutive committee together about the 4th of April in order to take up any matters which may -require the atten tion of the committee before the meet ing of the democratic clubs. The meeting of the clubs will be held on the last Saturday in April, the 28th, and the county conventions, made up of delegates selected at the club meetings, will assemble on the 7th of May to elect delegates to the state convention, a county executive committee and a member from each county to the state democratic exec tive committee. On account of the lack of. factionalism in the last few years there has not been much inter est in organizing party machinery, but it is probable that there will be more care observed than usual in se lecting officers of the party for the next two years. The -state democratic convention will be held on the 16th of May, that being the third Tuesday. It is not known what matters will come before the convention this year. After the meeting of the convention the new state executive committee will make arrangements for the state campaign along lines decided upon in the con vention. The itinerary will be map ped out by the executive committee. The party constitution says that there shall be one or more clubs in each ward or township and that the clubs shall meet oni the fourth Satur day in April in state election years, the county conventions the first Mon day in May and the state convention the third Wednesday in May. The qualifications for voting in the state primaries are that the person who desires to vote must have been a resident of the state 12 months and of the' county 60 days, who must pledge himself to abide by the result of the primaries, and his name must be on the club lists at least five days before the first primary. SOUTH CAROLINA UNIVERSITY. 'Work Incident to the Change from College to University-Law De partment Completed by Elec ting Mr. 3. P. Thomas, Jr. Columbia, March 8.-The board of trustees of the University of South Carolina, after a .two days' session, adjourned this afternoon. A great deal of routine work was transaeted in connection with the change from college to ,university. h.Merely the preliminary steps have thus. far been taken, no radical changes being initiated. A number of minor details were agreed upon, among them being the suggestion that hereafter the di plomas of the University be in Eng lish. instead 'of* in Latin, as they were during the life of the 'college. Yes fterday the board elected Jrof. Hern .otMoore to a professorship in the law departmerit; Col. Joseph Daniel Pope was,of course, retained. Today Ion the fifteenth ballot Mr. John P. IThomas, Jr., was elected to the new position of professor in the law de partment. This will give the law de partment a team of three first-class professors, and will place the law de partment of the South Carolina uni versity on a high plane. The board had no formal applica tions for the new professorship in the law department, but members of the Iboard suggested various names and voted for their preferences. Under~ Ithe rule of the board it requires a ma jority of all the members to result in an election, and*'the board voted for some of the strongest lawyers in the! state. 'Mr. Thomas is recognized as a! strong and able lawyer and one who is well adapted to the work he is to Iundertake. He is to make his work at the University of South Carolina his! primary obligation, but is not expect ed to lose all touch with his active profession. Mr. Thomas is the senior member of thie firm of Thomas & IThomas, and for many years was a member of the firm of Abney & Thom as. It is to Mr. Thomas' liking to en gage in university work, he having reached that age and that fortune in: the world's goods that he can under-* take such pleasant work witJa energy and enthusiasm. Mr. Thomas will be actively connected with the law de partment at the nexi session. There has been some discussion about the order of the hoard at its previous meeting prohibiting the stu dents engaging in inter-collegiate foot ball. This morning a committee of the Alumni association, consisting of President Edwin G. Seibles, H. N. Edmunds, Mayor T. Hasel Gibbes and Christie Benet, appeared before the board and argued strongly in favor of foot ball. The spokesman presented good arguments in favor of foot ball as a general proposition and of its value in the development of the stu dent spirit and the man. The board appreciated the interest of the com mittee and of its alumni, but declined to reconsider its action at this time. This leaves the ban on foot ball and the board does not appear to be ready to reopen the issue so soon after a positive stand has been taken. The members of the board have re ceived a number of congratulations because of the selection of Superin tendent W. H. Hand as a professor in conection with the department of ped agogics. The board requested Presi dent Benjamin Sloan to attend the ex ercises incident to the installation of President Duncan, of Houston, as president of the University of Texas. President Duncan is an alumnus of the South Carolina college. The board adopted a resolution with regard to completing the file of newspapers in the archives of the Uni versity of South Carolina, and to com plete the list of publications bearing on South Carolina history. A special committee, consisting of Mr. August Kohn, on the part of the board, and Profs. Yates Snowden and E. L. Green, was appointed. Persons $av ing newspaper files or books bearing on the history of this state are asked to communicate with this -committee. Governor Heyward, Superintendent Martin and Messrs. Spencer, James Q. Davis, John J. McMahan, Robert P. Hamer, Jr., W. T. C. Bates and August Kohn attended the meetings of the board. Three members of the board were unable to be-present. The trolley car wa's crowded, a number of passengers finding preea rions foothold upori the running board. It had proceeded quite a dis tance before the conductor could comn plete his fare collecting round. Sud denly a woman caught hold of his arm and cried excitedly: "Conductor, a man has fallen off the ear!'' "I know it ma 'am,'' was tbe cool reply. "I hadn't got h-is fare. Some folks will go to any length to beat the company!'' ALL KINDS Of Plumbing Done on Short Notice J. 'W. W HIT E.
