CANTEY ANNOUNCES FORCOY[RNORSIIIP Sunnerton Man Files Pledge With Secretary-Well Known In State Columbia, June 18.-The latest an nouncement for Governor in the Democratic primary is that of J. J. Cantey, of Summerton, who filed his pledge with If. L. Edmunds, secre tary of the State Democratic party, during the day. Mr. Cantey is known over the State for his various views on political mlatters aired through the public prints through the medium of letters to the newspapers. William Coleman, of Union, who some time ago announced that he would be in the race for Governor, today filed his pledge with Mr. Ed munds, placing him in the race he yon(l doubt. There has b''en nimch political man(elve'ing around Columbia to day and there might possibly be different alignments before the final pledges are filed at noon to morrow. The campaign will open Tuesday June 20 at 10 o'clock at the Columbia Theatre, when the biennial canvass for the State offices will begin to con tinue until August 25 at. Spartan burg. SIGN TH E CLUB WiOLl, YOU USELIy I desire all enrolling clerks through out the County as well as every good and patriotic citizen to read this ar tiele and then constitute himself or herself a committee of one to help us get the results we want, and that is for every voter to sign the club rolls without making the characteristic X. In the past the ('ount-y Superinten dents have hee'n re(,uested to get all the books after their return to the County Chairman and to compile a list showing the number of voters who had to siLn the hooks by making their cross mark. I feel sure there are hundreds of voters who ca'i sign their names and yet who (1 not si''ly because it is a little trouble a1n(1 so much ensiei' to touch the pen after the enrolling clerk has written their names. Now the clerks should insist that each voter do this for himself or herself, and if the writing is not legible, then the clerk can under write the name.

Again there are those who really cannot write. Here is where some good samaritan can get in good work. If you, Mr. Reader, know of any man or woman who cannot write his or her name, offer to teach such one. Any one can learn to write his or her name in a little while, and should the County Superintendent of Education be called on this year to compile a list of voters who have made their cross marks let it be a very small list. It its not creditable to us as a people to have such a large per eentage, and if all will get interested in this we can cut the number down considerably. Schools for illiterates have been conducted for several years where the percentage was large, but for Claren dIon we have not had many for rea sons not necessary here to tell. I feel that we can and should make a better showing than we did in the east where one out every six made his X. There were three or four clubs in the County where not a single X appeared. Why can't we add to the list and thus reduce the crosses? Remember, do not make your X un less you really cannot write. Even if this he so, can't you learn to write beforr- the last Friday in July ? E. J. Browne, 2t. County Supt. Education. MR. IHIRAHUTAM POPUIAR St. Matthews, .lune 18.-At the regular meeting of the Music Club, held Friday morning with MJrs. Wil liam C.

The latest tidings inform us that in Yorkville the duties of police nie., include chasing the neighbors' chickens off the lawn. Chickens have nofreehC-range rights, and the town oflicials see that they don't get them. This, as every gardener knows, is exactly what ought to be (one every where. Chickens have broken up more neighborly friendships than pol itics, religious tifferences, dogs, or small boys.

Special constables ought to be detailed for this work,. prefer ably plain clothes men, so as not to alarm the chickens until the hand of the law falls upon their collars. Whether a fowl so caught becomes subject to capital punishment, or not, or whether it may be bailed out by its friends, must be determined by some court of equity.
