lp ' Aiken, Nov. 2.?Aiken women cast
Uiojr ballots in the municipal primary
held hero today for tho llrst time in
history, voting for candidates for
I mayor and city council. A woman
was the first to deposit a ballot in the
box when the polls opened this morning,
and a woman was the last to vote
Just before the polls closed. Six hundred
and twenty-eight votes were cast,
j and of ill* . according to the election 1
managers, more t'.an one-half were
l| voted by women, disproving the old
i contention that the women of Smith
' i Carolina, would not vote if they hud ,
V the privilege. Women likewise us- ,
f| gisted oflieiiilly in conducting the ?,
election, Mrs Julian Salloy, formerly ,
president ol' the South Carolina Suf- (
;i frage league, and Mrs. Mary Croft ^
) acting as helpers, Mrs. Q. A. T. r
Mehcley us clerk, and Miss IxjuIbo ,
Bloomberg us a teller. The best of ;
; order prevailed all day, the election f
rather taking the aspect of a special ^
affair. Mrs. Walter Duncan was the (
first woman to vote. .. <

Today's primary terminates a hard A
fought municipal campaign in which t
' there has been four candidates for f
mayor, and 13 candidates for the six t
places on city council. It was likewise
1 the climax of another tight that for
the newly enfranchised women tto v
participate. At the first meeting of j,
I the Aiken municipal club, held early
' in October, this privilege was denied, ,
but at a recalled meeting a resolution ;
admitting the women on the same j;
; basis as male voters was unanimously
adopted. ^
W.J. Moselcy. who is serving his c
third term as mayor of Aiken, was ^
defeated in today's primary, running c
! in third place on the ticket. Some e
inonms ago me Aiken police force resignnl

Calomel salivates! '/ It's mercury.
Calomel acts like dynamite on a sluigish

contact with sour bile it crashes into it
causing cramping and neasea.
. If you feci bilious,, beadchy, constipated
and all knocked out, just go
to your druggist and get a bottle of
Dodson's Liiver Tone for a few cents
which is a harmless vegetable substitute
for dangerous calomel. Take a
