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- \

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 *

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?

The big popularity and subscription
campaign which was announced
in last week's Herald and News opens
today and from the interest being
shown by the ladies of the county it
bids fair to be the most interesting
race ever staged in this section of
the state. As yet quite a number of
the small towns and rural districts
11lave -fnilpd tn nrpspnt a candidate and
some young ;ady from these districts
should get her nomination in at once
[ in order to share in the distribution of
the hundreds of dollars in prizes to
be awarded. In Friday's issue of The
Herald and News all contestants, who
have been nominated, will be publish- j
ed with the number of votes securedj
by each, and from then on till the
last two weeks of the campaign the
standing will be published weekly.
Contestants Shoald Get Started at
\ Once.
| All contestants should not be satis
fied by just having her nomination in
the office but should immediately get
started and make an active and aggressive
fight, as only in this way can
you be declared the winner of the
handsome CLEVELAND or other
prizes. Regardless of how popular a
contestant may be she can hardly
hope to succeed by having her friends
do all the work, and if you would be
the proud possessor of one of the
capital prizes you should get started
to work at the earliest possible
minute. It is readily seen just how
important the opening period is when j
it is taken into consideration that j
each subscription taken during this I
i period averages three times as many
votes as will be allowed during the j
closing week of the campaign. Thus |
