TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR ELECT DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION GENEROUS RESPONSE BY WOMEN TO CALL OF DUTY I Places Given to Newly Enfranchised ?Gatherings Throughout the State The State, 2. Women throughout South Carolina yesterday manifested a keen interest in political affairs, this being; their first opportunity to participate in J T county Democratic conventions, in the majority of the counties, women were given, places in the delegations to the state Democratic convention, May 17. Barnwell is sending four women and two men. An even break was made in Laifrens, which county named four women and four men, while many other counties are to be represented by from one to three. In Greenwood county Mrs. jtu. l>. Andrews was: chosen county chairman and presided over the convention. A Presbyterian minister presided in York. Resolutions were adopted in several condemning the general assembly for the somewhat general practice ~-f ifc / Insinp' session Sundav MVIUiug, 0 morning.

Stoll for reelection, and Dorchester to I. S Hutio. Solicitors were also indorsed foi reelection in several circuits. There was no semblance of faction alism, apparently, and the conven tions were generally of brief duration.

Over 400,000 bales of cotton were signed to the cotton cooperative marketing contract by May 1 and the organization of the South Carolina Cot, ton Growers' Cooperative association i is now assured. Announcement to this ; cflfect was made last night by Harry G. Kamjner, president of the organization committee, and R. C. Hamer, J chairman of the campaign committee. A total of 408,000 bales had been j srgrncd by Saturday night, April 2?, ! and reports from over the state indi| cated that between 10,000 and 15,000 bales were signed yesterday, so that approximately 425,000 bales have now been signed. It will be several days before the tabulation is completed. Goes Over Top Announcement that the state ma gone over the top caused much jubilation yesterday among the campaign workers and farmers over the state generally. All day lepig there was a stream of telegrams pouring into the offices of the association here from every section of the state asking the outcome and many called over the Ions distance telephone. There was a great deal of interest in the campaign in other states also and many of the telegrams came from ^ n Tovoc Alo. ! JSOTUl V^ill UtUigia, JL ! bama and other states in the belt, ! which have already either organized or are in the process of orgnaization. C. 0. Moser, secretary of the Ami erican Cotton Growers' exchange, the : overhead organization of the various {state cooperative associations, wired: : "Please accept my congratulations. Campaign has been great piece of I work. Greetings." F. R. Shanks, chairman of the campaign committee of the Alabama association, wired: "Congratulate you j on your great victory. Alabama sends you greetings." i T)r Clarence Poe. editor of The Progressive Farmer, wired: "Hearty congratulations on great vi> tory." Now the terms of the contract have been complied with and the 400.000 bales necessary signed by May 1, it was announced yesterday that opportunity would be given all who desire 'co join the association to do ?o during the next three we?.ks. The belief was expressed yesterday by officials of the association that there would be a heavy balance signed up during the next three weeks. Harry G. Kaminer, president, said i last night that he would call a meeting of the organization committee at an early date to district the state and set the machinery in order for the permanent organization. Assistance Appreciated :! In a statement last night annouiiciin<r the success of the campaign, (Messrs. Kaminer and Hamer said: "There have been so many people ,' who have contributed- so greatly to j the success of the campaign that we ; feel it would be unfair to single any I one individually. Never have we seen j a more faithful band of men than the I band who labored in behalf of coop! erative marketing. It has been a hard 'fight, extending over a period of seven months, but not once have the : workers faltered. They have everV 1 one done their full duty. The bus: ness men and the press of the state have rendered wonderful assistance and we are deeply indebted to them." Dr. VV. W. Lonjj,, director of the ' extension forces of Clemson college, who have been actively in the fight ' since the beginning, expressed gratification at the outcome of the cam ' y-v * Y-? n A TX* i V> \InCCVC!

The Newberry hurler was in great form j and was never in danger except in j the fourth. The visitors succeeded i in getting three men on the bases in I , that frame as a result of a base or ; balls and some loose fielding, there | be'ng no outs at the time but the big j fellow retired the side in great style. J McLeod pitched a splendid game but J he was a little unsteady at times. ] There were few fielding features inI asmuch as there was little free hit; ting on the part of both teams.

[commerce placed an article in the pa-i ! pers inviting the general public to i ! 11SP the rhamhpr of commerce rooms I for various meetings. This invitation j 11 was accepted very generally as dur- j ! ing the past few months there have ' jbeen many meetings held in the 1 of commerce headquarters for meetThe board again wishes to invite the i citizen? to make use of the chamber I of commerce headsuarters for meet-! 1 ings, but at the same time they state ! that reservations for meetings will j i have to be made in advance, due to, i the fact that during the past few J weeks two or three meetings were | .' called to meet at the same time which . caused some confusion and possibly [' some little inconvenience, and in the . future all persons wishing to hold ; j meetings in the chamber of commerce ; rooms are requested to notify the secretary as much in advance as pos sible. This notification will be a deeply appreciated courtesy as it will prevent confusion, and then it does not! ; j take a great deal of time to call the j ; i secretary and make arrangements for | j the meeting in advance. The office j j of the chamber of commerce is open i , I from 8:00 a. m. until 6 p. m., and either the secretary or assistant secretary will be found in the- office durj ! ing these hours. ) It is hoped by the board of direcI j tors that no one will misunderstand L this'article as they feel that this ar, rangement is best for all concerned 1 . ana surely any one wishing to use the j ! olftce lor meetings snouia not ODject to making reservations in advance. ' L. G. Eskridge, President k [ CLEAN-UP CAMPAIGN MAY 15 TO 20 [ If a study were made Of the many - interpretations of the United Sftates j and of sections thereof that Europe- j ; ans have made, it would be found, ; we believe, that not a few of these i touring critics base their judgments j - .of the civilization attained by states - and towns, so far as externals are in- ( . dicative, on the state of the houses . and outbuildings they saw. Properly pa'ntei, they at least indicated thrift J and some jeye for'color values and the rudiments of aesthetics. What the sensible persistent use of naint will do in country or city can r be noted by any automobilist. It adds value to properties when sales are forced or voluntary. It saves was-, [ tage otherwise inevitable because of : the elements. It enables persons re- 1 . sponsible for family standards to j c-ome nearer their idea's. It tones up j . the self-respect of neighborhood, ! town, cify or state. Some sections of the United States have been rather slow to learn the relation of paint to patriotism and to pride; but taking the country as a i whole, it sees this close connection , with more certainty than it did a decl ade ago. The increased production . of materials used in making paint is - ;o much greater than usual that it is - being credited chiefly to the rapidly - developing campaign for community - improvement which has for its slogan , "Clean-up and Paint-up." So surely j ; j and practically does organized effort -1 for civic good register itself in sta-' titties of trade that cannot be im- J -j peached by the most skeptical of . | Philistines! ,! Let every citizen of Newberry en.; ter into the Clean-up and Paint-up. , | campaign scheduled for our city May ; j 1.1-20 with a determination to make; 11 Newberry the cleanest city in the en j tire state of South Carolina.

J ' I GET MANY RETURNS FOP INCOME TAX THOUSANDS OF CHECKS POUR INTO TREASURY Monday Last Day to Make Payments Unless Time Extended by Tax Commission The State, 2. Income taxpayers flooded the state treasurer with checks yesterday and the tax commission with returns, mail at these two offices being exceptionally heavy throughout the day. Not all the returns were received during the day, however, and many were mailed late in the afternoon that will reach the offices today. At the state treasurer's office it was said that a check for four cents had been received from one taxpayer. This will probably be the smallest tax to be paid by a South Carolinian. A lot of returns are being received where no tax is due, but the four cents check is the smallest to come | in to date. Yesterday was the last day to make returns unless extensions of time were granted by the tax commission. The commission granted a lot of ex| tensions for short periods and a large number of extensions on one-half of ! the tax. Judging by the returns and checks [ coming in -yesterday the new act wul bring in considerable revenue, but probably not as much asHSme of the legislators figured. Senator Sam H. McGhee of Greenwood, proiribter of the present laW* believed at tie tiftie it was passed that it would bring in near $2,000,000. The free confer! ences on the general appropriation bill figured the amount somewhere ! near $1,000,000 while others give the figure around $700,000. The tax commission is working hard j to get the new law operating propI erly and within the next few weeks nri'll liovn arot*\7 f avrvo tror nV\an\raA im wui ita? v j uy? The commission has the names of all . the persons paying the federal government a tax ar.d this will be of much help in inforcing the law. No figures were available as to the amount of money received yesterday .. as this was a task that could not be accomplished in one day with thousands and thousands of returns and checkfe coming in. Some interesting returns were received during the day. One man sent in his return on a federal -blank, declaring that the federal blank was much simpler than the state report. Another taxpayer sent nothing but a letter in which he swore he paid, the federal government so much and owed the state government a certain figure. He said the blank sent him was "too much" for him. f i r f t t tv rvrMV rurv u/tf KIDNAP NEGR# IN CANADA Athnta, Ga., May 1.?Officials at headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan here today declared they had no knowledge of any plans being formulated by members of their organization to kidnap Matthew Bullock, the negro wanted at Norlina,, N. C., on murder charges, from Hamilton, Ontario, to bring him back to North Carolina. * Reports from Hamilton stated that Bullock had fled to another country, but his whereabouts was not disclosed. In the absence of Colonel William J. Simmons, imperial wizard, F. L. Savage, chief of staff, declared the Klan has had nothing to do with the Bullock case and no efforts were being made officially to bring the negro back to the United States.
