INEXT PRIMARY kght Changes in1 Rules of Party Easily Effected. Sits. ALLEY INQUIRES ife to. Give Opinion-Chairman of Committee Sees No Great Hindrances. South Cyrolina women will have no n "aterial diflicflty in qualifying to vote under the Democratic T primary rules in South Carolina this summer if ;two nio're states ratify the equal suf frage amendnent before thy state Democratic convention May 19, and certain slight inodifications to the pri mary rules are effected at that time. The only changes in the rules that will be required, according to John' . 'Gary Evans of Spartanburg, chairman of the state Democratic executive com mittee, will be the adding of the words "or she" after "he" and "or hers" after "his" wherever these Words, referring to the male voters, appear in the rules or substitute there for "qualified elector." That this will be done is beyond question, should two more states ratify the Yamendment before the May conven tion. Thirty-four states have ratflied the amendment. Mrs. Julian B. Salley of Aiken pres ident of the South Carolina Equal Suf frage league, yesterday wrote S. M. Wolfe, attorney general for an opin ion as to the prerequisites for voting. Mr. Wolfe has not yet had -time to formulate his opinion, but in a tele phone conversation last night Mr. Evans said the amendment of the rules to enable the women to vote was a very simple matter. In her letter Mrs. Salley emphasiz ed that the women would automatical ly become citizens with the ratifica tion of the amendment by two more states. Delware and Washington are expected to act favorably within the next week. "We hope and expect to vote in the presidential election and also in the Democratic primaries this summer," she said. T6 vote in the primaries, the women will necessarily have to belong to Democratic clubs and have their names on the club rolls, along with those of the male voters. Qualifica tions for membership in any club and for voting at a primary are prescribed b ythe party rules as follows: WATCH OU Now is Once more our thoughi dise.

Certain other requirements will have to be- met to vote in the general elec tion. One of these requirements will be to procure a registration 'certi ficate. The registration boogs are open, the first Monday each month at every county seat. Registration raises an important question as to tax receipts,' presenta tion of which is requisite for male voters who register. Mr. Evans /said he (lid not -see how poll tax receipt presentation could be required of the female voters before quch tax had been levied upon the women. 0 STATE PRIZE WINNERS Clemson College, March 20.-Thc annual report of L.

The total value of all commodities produced by clubs members during 1919 was $165,90.15. The cost of pro duction was $63,643.60, which sub tracted from the total value leaves a balance of' $101,446.55 as the net money value of the activities of club members in 1919. The Chamber of Commerce of Spar tanburg has extended an'invitation to the state prize winners through Mr. Baker to a dinner to be given in their honor in Spartanburg sometime in April, at which the prizes will be pro sented to the winners, and a number of addresses by prominent educators will be made. ---0 WILD HERDS INCREASE.

In addition there are on the range 125 elk (n6t including calves of last year), 33 antelope and 13 mule deer.
