Columbia, September 30.?According to the terms of a resolution passed bv the State democratic executive committee last summer, following the investigation into the charges of irregularities at the primary, a committee of seven was to be named by State Chairman John Garv Evans to sussest needed changes in the primary rules i and constitution of the party and to report to the meeting of the entire committee, to be called some time prior to January 1, 1914. Whatever A AM A AA +Alr/\n aw O Y"\ TT tiuuuu cue uuiiiumicc uuvca, ui auj modifications or amendments they agree on looking to safeguarding the primary, will be reported to the next democratic State convention, which will assemble in Columbia on the third Wednesday in May, 1914. While no announcement has been made by Chairman Evans as to the ap ?)ointment of this sub-committee of seven, there is every reason to believe they have been selected and are at work. It was not stipulatd that their names should be made public and the :'act that no announcement has been nade does not mean that the resolu5rm tn rlrnw nr> rhan?p<; thrnnsrh a ub-committee has been ignored. Rather, it is safe to presume that the re:olution is being carried out and that he sub-committee is now at work. Obviously they could do better and more effective working out of details "nan werp their names to be made public, for then they would be harrassed and hampered by all kinds of suggestions and opinions thrust upon them. The proposed radical changes :o be made to safe guard and perpetuate the white primary is a herculean task, requiring the undivided attention and brain work of the ablest nembers of the State executive committee. It is confidently believed in political circles that the sub-committee will report to the full State rommittee to be called together by Chairman Evans some time before the irst of the year, in pursuance of the resolution. Reform of the primary will be the ssue before the democratic clubs, the various county conventions and the lext State convention. The clubs meet 3n the fourth Saturday in next April o organize and elect delegates to the ounty conventions and they in turn rather the first Monday in May. It is ipparent, therefore, that the winning 'i* the battle depends on the control -1 - - v \ t i:it* tiuu meeuugb. Auvwaics ui irimary reform will be bitterly fought, or there are men who will bitterly oppose any change in the present rules of he party. The doctrine of letting every man who has a white skin vote has predominated in South Carolina from tbe inception of the primary, plan of selecting the candidates of the de f mocratic party. I Restriction of the right to partici' pate in the democratic primaries to . registered voters will have its back! ers, but the main fight will be to adopt 1 j T-. sume pi a 11 anu some mtuiuu wiiuju win | put an end to irregularities and do ! away with the present wide-open system, which is conducive to repeaters, floaters, and other forms of irregularities creeping in, not to mention the opportunity of systematic working of | such resources. The next legislature will be given the opportunity to pass on a bill re| forming the primaries, but those in touch with the situation look for litf I tie from the lawmakers at the next, ! session along this line. The Nicholson j bill tightening the primary could not get through at the last session, and as the coming meeting of the generalj assembly will be the last of the present body and on the eve of another election, those advocating and wanting - l.'i-il ~ "L ^ primary reform couni on very nuie ue- , ing done. Any reform will come, they believe, from the next State convention, or if it fails there then the present wide-open system will remain as I heretofore. The fight begins in the ] club meetings next April and those ' wanting the reform may as well pre-J pare for action then, or else give up I the fight. GOOD ROADS FOR FARMERS. I Sect'y Agriculture Talks of Marketing Produce. Detroit, September 29.?Secretary Houston, of the United States department of agriculture, in an address be! fore the American Road congress here j I :oday, expressed his approval of the j 1 J f* J v _ t ! J enoris or tne organization ana ex- i plained the interest of the Federal government with reference to readbuilding.

The Barnum and Bailey Greatest Show on Earth and newly added spectacle of "Cleopatra" will exhibit in | Columbia, October 17. The spectacle i in itself is an attraction that should fill the big tent at each performance ana draw thousands ot visitors iroiii !the surrounding districts. It is beyond question the greatest production of its kind ever seen in America, j The world's most skillful scenic artists, costumers, property builders, chorus directors and stage managers i were engaged to mount the production. A stage bigger than a hundred ordinary theatres was built and made por table so that it can be conveyed from town to fown and erected each day in the main tent. The circus proprietors, have thus made it possible for those who live in contributory towns, even j farmers and tneir families, to see the magnificent wordless play that is an immense attraction in the largest cities. It is pnaeted witn n pact nf 1 - 250 actors, a grand opera chorus, an orchestra of 100 soloists, a ballet of 350 dancing girls, 650 horses, five herds of elephants, caravans of camels, and a trainload of special devices, costumes, and scenery and electrical mechanism for producing such effects as lightning, thunder, sand C?f Av? fVt A * ? ? ? vu tiic ucscii) -vwiv;anv;es ill action, sunrise, Hoods, and mirages. The realism of the scenery is perfect. It is as "hough the audience was looking into t'ae streets of Alexandria in the day of Ptolemys. The streets throb with their strange cosmopolitan life. In the middle distance flows the Nile, the mighty pyramids and the sphinx looking down from past ages. Beyond them stretch endless wastes of sand. The laureats of a dead race speak from forgotten tombs. The walls of Time fall down, ani we see the court of Cleopatra during its years of extravagance and revelry, and hear the story of the betrayal of Rome and the undoing of Marc Anton}', told in a vividly realistic way. The incidental music was arranged by Falti;; Effendi, late bandmaster of ?the Khedive of Egypt. The ballet is under the direction of Ottokar Bartik, balletmaster of the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company. The regular circus program is the finest the Barnum and Bailey management has ever offered. Thrilling acts are presented by Katie Sandwina, the strongest ana most ueauurui woman before the public; Mae Wirth, the greatest of all riders; a company of Japanese wrestlers, athletes swordsmen and jiu jitsu experts, Winston's riding seals, and Victoria Codona, queen of high wire performers.
