PRIMARY HP:FORM BILL The Miley Rill Passes Third Reading in the House. At one time it seemed that there would be no change in the primary laws at this session of the legislature, as the bill offered by the house judiciary committee was defeated. But Representative B. \V. Miley. of this city, had a bill which he offered and it has passed the house. The senate has not acted on it finally yet. and we understand the governor has said he would veto it. So if the bill finally becomes a law it will have to be passed over the veto. We publish the full text of the bill be low, in order that our people may see just exactly what it is: Section 1. That Chapter XIII of the Code of Laws of South Carolina be, and the same be amended by adding thereto, after Section 282, the following sections: 282a. "Every male citizen of this State and the United States of the age of 21 years and upwards, who shall have been a resident of the State for one year and of the county for a period of sixty days shall be entitled to vote in the said primary election upon complying with the primary election laws and the laws and the constitution of the political party, organization or association to which he may belong: Provided, that any person otherwise qualified shall be entitled to vote if he shall be of the age of 21 years at the time of the general election. 282b. No person shall be allowed to vote in the said primary election unless he shall have registered as therein required. 2S2e. That the county convention of each political ; party, organization or association shall designate a suitable and competent person to act as supervisor of registration of the said county in so far as it embraces the political faith of said organization and that the compensation for such service shall be fixed by the executive committee of such political party, organization or association. 2S2d. That such political party, organization or association shall furnish to the said supervisor of registration suitable registration books in duplicate for each voting precinct in the county and registration certificates with stubs for the purpose of registering the voters thereof as hereinafter provided. 282e. That upon the organization of the political party, organization or association in any county in the State and the designation of the supervisor of registration, the books of registration shall be immediately opened for registration of voters under the law. 2S2f.

That rhp said simervisor of registration shall require each applicant for registration to take the following oath: "That I am 2! years old, or will be before the next general election, and that I subscribe to the principle and rules of the party organisation of which I am seeking to become a member, and that I will abide by the rules and regulations thereof." and the said applicant be required to state whether he has heretofore registered and at what precinct. 282i.

That no one shall be. allowed to register in more than one precinct, and if any one applying for registration that lias already been registered, his name must be stricken from the register when XKYVS ST1BS MEXICO CITY. I Huerta, However, Says He Expected A Such Tidings. < Mexico City, February 20.?The execution of William Benton, a ? British subject, by the constitution- ot alists in Juarez, has revived the tli fear among government supporters bi that the United States will be forced re by Great Britain to take some action that easily might become interven- ec tion. H Although since revolutionary con- te ditions assumed serious proportions si three years ago there have been kill- ai ed in various parts of the country S( some 150 Americans, including par- w ticipants on both sides in the revo- th lution, there is on record the deaths lo of only four Britishers, including Benton. The three others were killed in disLI tricts where the chiefs of neither faction had direct authority. Benton's is the first case where it appears that culpability may be placed definitely. Js* Sir Lionel Carden, the British min- . ister, has received no advices con- j0 cerning the execution of Benton and does not expect any, except inci- t0 dentally, since in his opinion the I) case does not concern the govern- 01 ment to which he is accredited. Con- as vv sular advices of the shooting to 10 death of Benton were received to-day at the foreign office, where the news s sc aroused an attitude of expectancy. That the constitutionalists had ex- st St ecuted a foreigner did not surprise J President Huerta. who has insisted X 1^ that Gen. Francisco Villa belonged to the irresponsible type of leader and sooner or later was certain to bring about serious complications with some foreign complications ^with tu some foreign power.

Benton, a so British subject and wealthy land- du owner in Mexico, had been executed m by rebels in Juarez after he had tr< made a protest to Gen. Francisco ^ri Villa about alleged depredations of the constitutionalists. A mass meeting was held to-night w' and resolutions were adopted censur- m; ing the State department at Wash- m ington for its alleged suppression of ^ the consular report of the Benton in case and calling on congress to de- CI mand from the department of State a full record of alleged crimes and m outrages against foreigners in Mexico. So The meeting came as the climax or of a day of excitement caused by th news of the death of Benton. The A* meeting was first called for Cleveland square, but Mayor Kelly, in a letter to George Curry, former gov- he ernor of New Mexico, asked him to rent a hall, as he regarded an open meeting as dangerous. The mayor ^ said he would suppress any attempt to hold the meetiqg in the open. A theatre was rented and messengers | turned the crowd from Cleveland ^ [ square to the building. trj registered before he can register at any other precinct. Provided, that p* where the Dartv for which the said supervisor of registration is appoint- an ed casts as many as twenty thousand vc votes at the last general election for its candidate for governor and supervisor shall be paid one hundred ca dollars for said work by the county, w< as other county salaries are paid, 011 each election year, and he shall attend at least two days in each township during the registration period v" for purposes of registering voters, and shall give at least two weeks' notice in the county papers of the j time and place for registering the ! voters of each township.

A Neglected Opportunity. This week's issue of The Manufacrer's Record devotes one of its leadg articles to the subject of woodorking in South Carolina. It takes ; the basis for the facts which it resents the bulletin prepared by anley L. Wolfe, of the National Drest Service, and published by the | - ate department of agriculture, comerce and industries, to which we tve already called attention. It peraently observes that "the fact that 15.000,000 feet of the 817,000,000 et of lumber cut in the State go itside the State for further hand- I ig indicates the neglect of wealth oducing opportunities in this field, en though the census of 1910 | towed that lumber and timber promts rank second to cotton goods, ~ hich lead among the industrial itputs of South Carolina." This is undoubtedly true. Just as jj. e cotton mills have discovered that jj, pays better to manufacture fine >ods rather than coarse so it is well a, at the people of the South should arn that it is to their interest to aj ork up their lumber resources into lished products rather than sell em as rough material. To do this jj] Duld result, as The Manufacturer's ecord points out, in the employent of hundreds of thousands of a en in manufacturing and would al- se widen the home markets for pro- w icers in agriculture. It would do *> ore than that. It would double, eble, quadruple the South's income am these particular sources. For example, a considerable part the door and window screens ^ tiich are sold in this section are anufactured in one of the norther- ^ ost of the New England States, uch of the lumber which is used W i their manufacture is shipped from jQ larleston. The freight charges on is lumber from Charleston to the j anufactory and on the screens om the manufactory back to the ar nth amount to much more than the Qg iginal cost of the lumber. Yet e screens are sold at a, good pro- ^ and do not lack for purchasers. Can anyone explain why products ^ this sort should not be made right re at home??News and Courier. _ WOMEN "SNAP" VOTERS. tmera Squad Visits Chicago Slums - - - ----- ? Mi on Trail of "Moaiers. ?
