H (By John 1 Columbia, April. 5.?Politics is W slow in warming up in South Caro riina this spring. Or perhaps it may i not warm up very much this year, j Such, however, would be a very; unusual thing for this State. There is a great deal of interest manifest in ; i the national campaigns for the re- J spective nominations by the two lead- ( b' ing parties, but since the days when lota Ronotfir Tillman be<ran the iat'V iw/Vim?v?. ? - ^ Reform movement back in the late eighties, there probably has never I been so little interest shown in State j politics so close to the meetings of the Democratic clubs. The various clubs of the Democrat- { ic party throughout the State, under j the constitution and rules of the i party, will meet on the fourth Sat- j ^urday in April, which this year is the j / ' the 24th. The clubs will elect dele-j g^tes to the county conventions, 1 which will meet at the respective j * eountv seats on the first Monday in J ^^^May, which is the 3rd. The county ; ^^conventions will each elect delegates j V:o the State convention, which meets in Columbia on the third Wednesday, B May 19, and one member from each J -county upon the State Democratic executive committee. It is understood that ex-Governor John Gary Evans of Spartanburg will not be a candidate to succeed him?plf as chairman of the State execu live committee, and there is considerable talk of General Wilie Jones of j Columbia for the State chairmanship to succeed Mr. Evans. General! J Jones is now .treasurer of the com- j mittee, and the secretary is Mr. Ash-I jey C. Tobias, Jr., of Columbia. Senator E. D. Smith will have op-! position for the United States sen-! ate. Solicitor George Warren of j T"r M~ onnmmfpH. anfj : Xlitllip LU11 liar' an cauji WUMVV...V T ^ around Columbia it is generally. * thought that Mr. W. P. Pollock of; Cheraw who served a short term in j fhe senate upon the death of Senator A Tillman, will be in the race. Mr. j ( Pollock is a strong* advocate of wo-1 man's suffrage. There has been no opposition to 1 "Governor Cooper for a second term | far. and Mr. Cooper will in all ] likelihood succeed himself, possibly without opposition. Lieutenant Governor Junius T. Liles of Orangeburg will not be a candidate to succeed himself, and there are three announced candidates in the race for this office, and there nay possibly be others to come into, the running. The candidates who I "have thrown their hats in the ring J are Mr. Wilson G. Harvey, a banker, i of Charleston; Mr. Octavus Cohen,! a lawyer, of Charleston, who made j 5L "the race two years ago. and Uapt. J 'P Oscar K. Mauldin of Greenville, who ! r served in the world-wide war. Adjutant General Moore will have j opposition for re-election, Capt. A. j H. Marchant of Orangeburg, long j connected with the State . National i Guard, and who served in the war,! having announced for the position, j Adjutant General Moore several ximes made efforts to get into the training- camDS. in order to go into /active service, but was unsuccessful j p on the physical examination. He is! an excellent military officer, and has j made a good adjutant general. L The various congressional districts i are attracting considerable interest j ' ' politically. It is understood around i here that }Ir. Wideman W. Bradley, j who was secretary to Congressman j | Aiken, will probably oppose Con- j gressnian Dominick and there have j hee^ some rumors as to Mr. Henry j Tillman of Greenwood being in the j race. The people around Newberry j * * * ' -i x 4.1.:^ j proDaDlV Know more huuuc uii? iatc than Columbia does, and the Third district will probably see to it that i Mr. Dominick, one of the ablest members of the South Carolina delegation, succeeds himself. He is, of course, with the experience which he | has had, in even better position to look afte*r the interests of his disA trict now than when he was elected, and the Third district wTould make a iwevo *v>ictol-o + r> rotirp him at > CI J gxai ^ uiiotuaw w * w** v this time, of which there seems to be no danger. ^ It has been announced in the press that Congressman Sam J. Nic oils will retire after his present j term, and there will be seven.! can- \ 5 AND GOSSIP SC. Aull.) ? !) didates for this place. Senator Rogers of Spartanburg, who had been prominently spoken of in this connec- ' tion, stated to your correspondent during the recent session of the general assembly, that he had decided not to make the race at this time. Mr. D. B. Traxler of Greenville, who ran two years ago; Mr. Horace L. Bomar of Spartanburg, who also made the race two years age: Former ' Solicitor Albert E. Hill of Spartan-11 bur^, Capt. J. J. McSwain of Green-} vilLe,, a brother of Insurance- Com missioner McSwain of Newberry; 1 Mr. Jack Wilson, a labor leader of ' Spartanburg-, and Judge Thomas S. i; Sease of Spartanburg, are being talk- ; ed of in connection with this race. It is understood that Mr. Wilson, Capt. McSwain, and Mr. Traxler are ( definitely in the race. Judge Sease is being urged, but so far has given ; no intimation as to his intentions. In the Seventh district Mr. H. P. Fulmer of Orangebrug, who was in i: the race to succeed Congressman I t ovnr inst vpa?\ unon Mr. Lever's I resignation, has announced that he j will oppose Congressman Ed C. Mann of St. Matthews for re-election; ' Solicitor George Bell Timmerman, \ who was in the second race with Mr. J Mann last year, is also mentioned in ' connection w$h this race, and it is J understood that he may again be a ' candidate. No opposition has so far develop- } ed to Congressman Byrnes of Aiken, 1 Tonfrressman Whalev of Charleston, , or Congressman Stevenson of Ches- ) terfield. It has been announced that Mr. E. J. Sherwood of Horry will oppose^ 1 Congressman P. H. Stoll of Williams< burg for re-election in the Sixth district. Mr. Stoll was chosen in the special election ordered to fill the va- ^ cancy created by the death of the ~ ^ * * A J_ X late Congressman Kagsaaie. At mat time he was opposed by Mr. Sherwood, and the vote was very close? so much so that an extra special meeting of the State executive com- . mittee had to be called finally to de- . cide the result of the primary. In the various counties throughout the State already announcements are being made for the legislature* . There are several in this county. Columbia will hold an election this month to fill two places on the city council. The terms of Councilmen ' Earle and Keenan expire. Both are j candidates for re-election, and there ^ are a number of candidates against them. Under the commission form ( of government here, a registration, , based upon the payment of poll tax * before the 31st of December, and upon a State and county, registra- j tion certificate, is required, and the ( enrolment for the election is only ^ about 2,000. Columbia votes considerably4more than this in the State and cbuntv Drimaries, where registra tion certificates are not required. i The suit between South Carolina . and Georgia to establish the boundary line between the two States has i again been postponed on account of . the resignation of^the attorney general of Georgia, who is devoting his activities to his campaign for the < governorship of Georgia. Georgia ] claims that the line is the Scuth Car- ; olina bank of the river, and South i Carolina claims that it is the center < of the river. The dispute will, of < course, have to be decided by the 1 Statos sunreme"court. Geor- ' cria wants to "hog" the t^ces on the hydro-eiectrie plants on the river. The attorney general's office of this i State is convinced that South Caro- '< lina's contention is correct, and will j fight the matter to a finish, with every < hope of success. j < ? < Governor Cooper has addressed an j urgent letter to the county chairmen ] of the State Memorial to the men 1 and women of the world war. The < legislature of ^19 appropriated : $100,000, conditioned upon $400,- ; 000 being raised by popular subscrip- < tion for the efection of a suitable ; chapel on lands belonging to tne i State, wherein the archives of the j great world war and of other wars in i which this State participated, may be ! kept, and which may be used as a 1 memorial building in the true sense j * PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS [ PROSPEROUS PROSPERITY j Prosperity, April 5,?Miss Veeta Kibler and Mr. James Richardson were married Sunday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock at the home of the bride, by the Rev.

This is Easter Sunday, with its message of hope and of gladness to a sin-stricken world. It is a dismal day in Columbia, with intermittent show-1 srs and lowering clouds, but the ?hurches were decorated with choicsst flowers, and overflowing congregations heard the messages from the men of God?the gladsome tidings of :he Resurrection of the Christ. Into sverv life there comes at some time i Gethsemane, and a journey of the spirit up Golgotha's hill with the burden of a heavy cross. But there was )nly one day between the Crucifixion md the Resurrection, and an abiding faith now will work the same kind of niracle even as that of nearly nine:een centuries ago. Above all thing? ;'nat is what the world needs now? ?aish. HERALD AND NEWS B1 DRIVE OPI Much Interest Manifested and ] List of Contestants and Th< Weekly.
