A special from Anderson to Char

Visitors from Clicniw here today de
clare that Wood row Wilson, 1'resl
dont of tli< United States, has ae?
cupted an imitation to visit Che
raw on .July S next and make an
address, the occasion being -the cel

of the f< > ti ii <1 i ii k of the little city of

soph us l.)anlels, Secretary of. the
Navy, and the Hon. David Houston,
Secretary" of Agriculture, have also
.iceop^'l^ in vital ions ?to he present
and make addresses. Tho Cheraw
Oernocrat ic Club has the distinction
of being the first <luh in the Unit
<?d States to pass a resolution eudorsj
lug . Wood row. Wilson for President
of the United States. At that time.
Mr. W i I hc > 1 1 was merely being men

parts of the cViunt r y To* ? . u " possible
candidate. The clverhw club sent

tiie nomination at tin- Baltimore
Convention, wrote letters of appre

well acquainted with t he .people of

The failure of .lo.hu L. McLaurili
??to arouse enthusiasm at tile meet

with this section of the .country is
a grievous fault
I Inn , again. Mr. McLaurin by,
birih and rearing is a rather proud
man. and the people in a half-in
fcl i net t \ e way are able to spot "one
who for the sake of office' does
things which in iiis own mind are
compromising. It was not natural
rot' t ttf1' - Marlboro settaior to take
