County Conventions Assemble in Va-
—*. rious County Seats May 1.
Columbia, April 10.—In accordance
with the direct puimary law passed by
the General Assembly at its session
in 1915 the Democratic voters of South
Carolina will meet in their respective
club places on or before the fourth
Saturday in April and elect delegates
to the county conventions, which as
semble in the various county seats on
the first Monday in May. The clubs
will elect officers and one delegate to
-the Codnty Convention for every 25
voters or majority fraction thereof,
based upon the number of votes polled
in the first primary of 1914.
The clubs will also elect a member
to represent them on the county Dem
ocratic executive committee. ^^
The rules governing the Democratic
party as drawn up at the State Con
vention in 1914 were enacted into law
at the session of the General Assem
bly in 1915. This puts it beyond the
power of the coming State Convention
to amend or modify the existing*pro-
visions of the present rules and regu
lations of the party. However, it does
not preclude adopting additional rules
and regulations which are not-in con-
^^kct with the statute law.
- Principal Features.
The principal features of the law
^Trowming organization of the clubs
for the primaries every two years pro
vide that eaclfvoTer must sign his full
name on the club rolls. The personal
enrolment provision is considered one
of the strongest safeguards of the pri
mary, and although its adoption cre
ated- strong opposition, it is now an
accepted principle^>f the party and its
wisdom was justified in its workings
two years ago.
The county conventions will meet at
noon dn the first Monday in May at
the various county sents and organise,
elect the county chairman, choose
delegates to the State Convention and
elect a member of the State Dem.K-rat
*te executive committee. The count/
conventions will also transact such
other matters as might be of interest
U the various countMa.
a Each county is entitled to twice as
many delegates as it has representa
tives in the General Assembly.
The Democratic Slate Convention
will meet In the hall of the House of
Representatives at. noon on Wednes
day, May 17. It will be called to or
der by John Gary Evans, chairman of
the State IVmocratic executive rom-
, mittee. The Convention will be com
posed of Mfi delegates.
Ho* in not of Coavenlkm.
The main business before the Con
vention will be the election of four
delegates - at large to the National
Democratic Convention in St. Louis.
The election of a m^miM-r of the na
tional Democratic executive comnillW
a position now held by United States
Senator B. R. Tillman, the election of
a State chairman, now held by former
Governor John Gary Evans, and the
making of such rules and regulations
governing the party primaries and the
^onduct of the campaign as it may see
The delegates from the various Con
gressional districts will caucus during
the day and elect two delegates from
each district to the St. Louis Conven
tion. This will give South Carolina
18 votes in the national Democratic
gathering.
The fight to abolish the county-to-
county canvass of the candidates will
be one of the main struggles to come
before the State Convention. If the
canvass is not abolished there is every
reason that it will be safeguarded and
amended.
Complexion of “Big Four.”
The complexion of the “Big Four”
to St. Louis is beginning to attract
some attention. It is customary to
send the two United States Senators
' and the Governor. The names of Sen
ators Tiljman and Smith, Governor
Manning, former Governor John Gary
Evans, State Warehouse Commission
er John L. McLaurin, former Govern
or Cole L. Biease; Christie Benet,”Sen
ator Allan Johnston, 'Congressman
Lever, R. Goodwyn Rhett, of Charles
ton, president of the Chamber of Com
merce of the United States; Senator
Robert A. Cooper, former Governor
M. F. Ansel, are among those men
tioned for the delegates at large to
the National democratic Convention.
South Carolina will undoubtedly in-'
struct for President W’oodrow Wilson
and his administration will be heartily
• endorsed by the Palmetto Democrats.
As this was one of the original Wilson
States the South Carolina Democrats
will be given a place of honor at Si.
Louis. ’

Special to The People.
Blackville, April 10.—Mr. H. G.
Boylston, county demonstration agent,
gives the following timely advice on
the cultivation of corn:
On most lands in Barnwell County,
the limiting factor in the production
of corn, is moisture. Why do I say
that? Because m„order to make a
fair yield of corn an immense amount
of moisture is necessary. You rarely
ever hear a farmer say that it is too
wet for his corn, but you will find
that as a general rule a farmer is a-
,fraid that it will get too dry for his
com. Then' we come to -the conclus
ion that if we can prepare the land
and cultivate it in such a manner as
to save the moisture in the soil, then
that is the proper thing to do.
“If you have a great deal of litter
or a heavy cover crop on the land,
then disc the land thoroughly first.
This will alleviate the possibility of
the litter Cutting off capillary action or
the cover crop souring the land. It
is not necessary to disc the land if one
of the above conditions is not present.
Then break the land thoroughly and
deeply, using a plow that will not turn
the soil up-side down, and harrow the
land as soon after'brealrtng as pos
sible.
“Then lay off the land and bed it
out, or back furrow'kind break out the
balk, and plant the com well into the
soil. *
“The cultivation of com should con*
, sist of frequent and shallow cultivation
j —®*ing cultivators or large sweeps, j
Always cultivate the com as soon af
ter each rain as the condition of the
land will permit. It does not Uke
long for a crop of com to either make
or fail; therefore, cultivate as fre
quently as possible, having the middle
as level as possible when , you stop
cultivating. Always use peas broad
casted down the middles or one row
of velvet beans to each middle.”

ing the sad intelligence of the death
(art night of hts aunt. Mrs. Sarah
Dmcilla Quatlleboum. at her home
near Williston. Mrs. Quattlehaum
was the wife of T. B. Quattlehaum. a
well-known farmer, who up to five
yrars ago resided near Bates burg
She was a daughter of the late Dr. J.
K. Kneece, of Baxter, one of the most
widely known and prominent physi
cians in the county, and was a woman
of may graces of mind and heart, de
voted to her family and friends and a

y r * r * age and the mother of eleven
children, seven sons and four daugh
ters. ten of whom are living. They
are: J. Will Quattlehaum. of Char
lotte. N. C.^ T. L. Quattlehaum. of
Spartanburg; Ernest Quattlehaum. of
Milliston; J. Calvin Quattlehaum and
Dessie Quattlehaum, of Florida, and
Edgar and DeWitt Quattlehaum. The
daughters are: Misses Eloise, Lucile
and lima Quattlehaum, of near Willis
ton. i
Mrs. Quattlehaum is also survived

Under the law the school district
must supply 50 per cent of’the cost
of any new school house, the county
25 per cent and the state 25 per cent,
with a maximum allowance of $300
from the cotmty and $300 from the
state. This policy contemplates thq
erection of buildings containing at
least two and preferably three class
rooms, with adequate cloak rooms for
the teachers and pupils. In sparsely
populated districts one-teachei* schools
are still erected, % but the number of
such schools is steadily decreasing.
The introduction of industrial ’work
is practically impossible in the one-
room school.- (
r
The total investment in these 136
new buildings is more than a half
million dollars. No better index to
the public school enthusiasm of the
people could be furnished.
Only two schools in Barnwell Coun
ty benefitted by the fund. They were
Herculex, which received $300, and
Oak Grove, which received $175, mak-
ing a total of $475 for the two schools.

Enlarged System of Waterworks
Badly Needed in Bamberg.
Bamberg, April 8.—Town council
Thursday ordered two sporial elec
tions to be held on May’2 to deter
mine whether or not the people of
Bamberg wish to bond the town for
improvements. A petition signed by
• majority of the freeholders was
presented to the council asking that
$10,000 of bonds be issued for the pur-
poor of extending and building the
waterworks, and another petition
asked for $5,000 worth of bonds for
maintenance of the alactric light
plant. BambeTg is in groat need of
an enlarged system of waterworks.
Only the business section ia now af
forded fire protection by water mains,
and it has long been felt that these
mains should be extended so as 'to
protect the residential sections also.
Besides, it would be s grest benefit to
the people of the town to have town
water for drinking and bathing pur
poses. The wstrr supply for resi
liences flow consists of privately own-
*d artesian wells or pumps. It is
generally thought that the bonds will
csrry st the election.
