Mr; Henry Savaj^e has purchased An K -10 kerosene disk plow from Messrs; I'earce ? Young and how has it in op* eratlori on his Westerham plantation near LugoflT. Quite a number of peo ple went oyer to his farm Monday to nee the demonstration made by repre sentatives of the International \ Har vester Co. The ljig machine makes a furrow 24 inches wide and 12 Inches deep with a sub soil plow attached to the rear of the disk plows. This 1s one of the first of these plows in this county, but it is said farmers are getting great re sults from \em in other sections of the country: More City Real Estate Sold. Mr. L/C.

In every county 111 Sddth Carolina the l>cmocrats held u convention Mon day, principally for the pnrjioso of electing delegates to t l*o State l>emo oratic Convention, which will In* hold In Columbia on Wednesday May 17. From the re|M>rts of the eon vent Km*, it appears that a spirit of harmony characterised practically every ? mwt tug ami In very few were theiv *h>u t?*HtN of <\ny wwwquentv. The out standing feature was the endorsement of the administration of President Wood row Wilson In ?very county, some of which Instructed their delegates to xui>i?ort In the the Stae convention a delegation Instructed to vote for the renominatlon of President Wilson. In many of the conventions the county-to-county campaign system \fas not mentioned, but where it was dis cussed. In the majority of cased the decision was in favor of retaining what has become known as the "biennial circus." The Florence convention pass* i'd a resolution asking the State con vention to permit the people of the State to vote in the primary thin sum mer on the question of abolishing or keeping the present system. In many counties the delegates -seemed Indif ferent on this matter. According to the report from Beau fort the Chrtetenaeu faction war in control of the convention and elected its officers and delegates, but it seems that the opposition faction withdrew and that a protest will be made before the State convention. ^ ? ?" -V 'rr? The County Convention. The Kershaw County Democratic Convention assembled at the court house here Monday with ji large crowd In attendance. The m?Hlhg was a" very quiet obe, and no Ulfeeling pre vailed. Mr. I a A, Wittkowsky was elected chairman and M r. Laurens T. Mills, secretary.

The first six named were declared elected. ) Mr. John 0. Blchanjs, of Mberty Hill, introduced a resolution that the Convention go on record as not favor ing the abolition of a county-t<fcounty campaign. In introducing the resolu tion he stated that it was a movement started by certain dally newspapers ami followed by a -few?of- the county weeklies. That It was an effort on the part of the press of South Caro lina to dictate to the voters, what can* dictates should be voted for. Thfe reso lution brought about some discussion, but all seemed in %favor of it and It was passed. The following is the resolution of fered by Mr. Richards : We, the rep resentatives of the Democracy Of Ker shaw county fii. convention assembled do hereby declare in favor of the "county-to-county" campaign for stato offices, as the l)est method of assuring an intelligeht ballot and a free and untrammelled expression of the will of the people, therefore be it Resolved, that the delegates elected to represent Kershaw county at the approaching session of the State Dem ocratic convention, be and are hereby Instructed to use their influence and their votes against any and all at tempts that may be made to discos* tin ue .the "cOunty-to-county" campaign. Mr. W. Bratton deLoach, In a short talk spoke in glowing terms of the policy of Wood row Wilson, and the Democratic party, and introduced a resolution endorsing bis administration. The resolution was carried by a ris ing vote. Dr. W. J.
