POLITICS CETTINC LIVELY m ? COUNTY CONVENTIONS WILL AS SEMBLE ON MAY I. Each County Entitled to Twice a* Many Delegates as it Has Representatives. Columbia, April 9.?In accordance with the direct primary law passec p' by the general assembly at its sessior in 1915 the Democratic voters o] . South Carolina wrill meet in their re spective club places on or before tht -fourth Saturday in April and elecl delegates to the county conventions which assemble in the various count} seats on the first Monday in May fThe clubs will elect officers and on* delegate to the county convention foi every twenty-five voters or majority % - fraction thereof, based upon the num fev ber of votes polled in the first priv mary of 1914. The clubs will also elect a membei p . to represent them on the .county Dem^ 4 ocratic executive committee. Tbe rules governing the Democra1c party as drawn up at the State convention in 1914 were enacted intc law at the session of the general assembly in 1915. This puts it beyonc the power of the coming State confX vention to amend or modify the exHfe jsting provisions of the present rules iand regulations of the party. However, it does not preclude adopting additional rules and regulations which are not in conflict with the statute law. Principal Features. The principal features of the lav governing organization of the club* for the primaries every two years provide that each voter must sign his I full name on the club rolls. The personal endorsement provision is considered one of the strongest safeguards of the primary, and although its adoption created strong opposition, it is now an accepted principle of the party and its wisdom was justified in its workings two years ago. 7 The county conventions will meet at noon on the first Monday in Maj at the various county seats and organize, elect the- county chairman choose delegates to^ the State convention and elect a member of the (State Democratic executive -commitrtee. The county conventions will also transact such ofeh.er matters as might be of interest ;to. the various bounties. Each county is entitled to twice as many delegates as it has representation in the general assembly. Tin* riomnnrsHn State ennventior !will meet in the hall of the house ol representatives at noon on Wednesday, May 17. It will be called to order by John Gary Evans, chairman of the State Democratic executive cpramittee. The convention will be composed of 336 delegates. Business of Convention. The main business before the convention will be the election of four delegates at large to the national Democratic convention in St. Louis, the election of a member of the national Democratic executive committee, 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 afcd regulations governing the party primaries and the conduct of the fe-t; campaign as it may see fit. |5j; ( The delegates from the various congressional districts will caucus V- during the day and elect two deleBbs' gates from each district to the St. Louis convention. This will give South Carolina 18 votes in the nas?f tional Democratic gathering. ^' t The fight to abolish the county-to^ county canvas^ of the candidates will be one of the main struggles to come p| before the State convention. If the canvass is not abolished there is r every reason to believe that it will ? ^ be safeguarded and amenddd. 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 ?> i and the governor. The names of i Senators Tillman and Smith, Governor Manning, former Governor John Q'' Gary Evans, State Warehouse Commissioner John L. McLaurin, former ^ Governor Blease, Christie Benet. Senator Alan Johnstone, Congress? man Lever, R. Goodwyn Rhett, of Charleston, president of the chamber of commerce of'the United States: . Solicitor Robert A. Cooper, former Governor M. F. Ansel, are among those mentioned for the delegates at . : large to the national Democratic convention. y .. South Carolina will undoubtedly ^instruct for President Woodrow Wilson and his administration will be heartily endorsed by the Palmetto Democrats. As this was one of the original Wilson States 'he South Carolina Democrats will be given a place of honor at St. Louis. With the club meetings only two weeks off general apathy on the pari of the people is the outstanding feature of the general situation. Tlu . indifference has never been more no jg?.> . ' - .

C. Its apparent area was s i 226,000 square miles, somewhat c smaller than the State of Texas. c 1 The tremble was felt as far north r p is Richmond. Va., as far east as 1 Charleston, S. C., southward to Co^ iumbus and westward to Suwanee, a ^ Tenn. At no place did it do any ap- a ' preciable damage. t From data sent in to Dr. McCallie, e * including a letter of much impor- a ' tance from J. C. Wellborn, vice presic dent of the federal reserve bank, it u 7 was apparent that the shock passed b from east to west. At Mr. Wellborn's ? stout stone house it ' was strong t enough to make window shades sway t out six inches from the casements h of closed windows. He gave the exact F time of the shock as 5:39 o'clock. u Though the quake of Monday was b nearly three times as large in area c ) affected, as the one last year, Dr. F \TnPallio not attribute anv esDec- f ^ ial importance to this.?Anderson fi * Mail. P " a 5 ticeable, and it seems now as if the organization of the clubs and the con- a * ventions will be purely formal affairs f 5 and there will be an entire avoidance v * of anything like factional contests or b partisan proceedings. h Beauty in the Farm Home. o o This subject has been discussed P but seldom, yet it is one of most im- a portance. We all strive, or should s strive, for beauty in the home, for v the sake of our own pleasure and the pleasure of our loved ones. Indeed, 1 the health of the family depends to s an appreciable extent upon the sue- e ress of 'our efforts along this line. c Success does not depend so much n upon the amount of money at our f disposal as upon the good taste and t thought used in spending what we a may have. In writing this, I should b like to speak to others who. like my-? d self, may not have an abundance of c means. , I It has impressed me as being very s pitiable that so many good house- I wives are so much mistaken in their n idea of what constitutes real beauty, o J Some seem to think that a room must t * be crowded with furniture, pictures, ii and what we politely term bric-a- n L brae, but which mightj more appro- v ' priately be termed "jurik." The car- v pet must be ornate, the curtains elab- b ' orate, and everything showy. a 1 As a matter of fact, the very key- f; > note of beauty is simplicity. Add to r ! this comfort, cheeriness and neatness, and we have a guide that will put us a well on our way to the achievement tl of our ideal. ' y The time for spring cleaning and g making over of rooms is almost at p * hand, and we will consider in detail I some of the things that go toward tl making them artistic in the real tl sense. * c: First, there is the wall paper, d Much time and thought should be u given to its selection. A good plan is to write some of the mail order vj houses for samples. With these you y< can try the effect of each pattern a with the woodwork and have a much tl more definite idea what you need o than if your selection is made with- a] out thought. The location of tht. a: room must be considered also. It it ei has a northern exposure, the tan, a! brown or yellow suits it best. If a ti southern exposure, use the cool col- w ore, gray, blue or green. If the room is poorly lighted, get a paper very o light in color. There are a great lj many things to consider, which will H present themselves to your mind. When the paper has been selected, be sure the figures match perfectly and are kept parrallel with the floor and ceiling. When the room has been papered, the next important step is the car- e pet. Here, as elsewhere, avoid imic< tations. If you can afford only a home-made rag carpet or matting, do not buy something else that is the same price or more, that is recom- 11 mended to "look like an expensive ^ carpet." Put your rag or matting _ carpet down as neatly as possible, and rest assured that your room is if **4- " *- > T e ..? ~ aiiioiii;, n uui cicgaui. n vuu cau afford to get a really nice carpet or rug, by all means do so, as it is a splendid investment, but do not buy a cheap, "showy" rug, which will make you ashamed of your whole ? room before the summer is gone. J When your carpet has been laid, don't crowd the floor with all sizes ; and colors of rugs. .Most rooms re quire not more than three short v i rugs, and these should harmonize in color with each other and the carpet 0 > or room-size rug. It. goes without h saying that the wall covering, floor > covering and curtains should harmon- _ ize in color. ' Tl I B -1 In buying curtains, be sure you are T i getting material that will wash well, j Q - if the room is to be used often. Do lo I I Lot buy cheap lace curtains, for they ,re neither fashionable, durable nor leautiful. Some of the prettiest ooms I have ever seen had Swiss urtains, unruffled and simply made, "here is a material called physicians* loth which is much used in this secion, and which may be had for 6 ents a yard. It is pure white and Langs in lovely soft folds. It is a afe plan to buy curtains without olored borders unless one is sure ?f her good judgment, as it may tiake a discord in the harmony of he room. If your shades have become old ,nd worn, take them off the rollers ,nd turn them upside down. Hem he end that was attached to the rollt, and they will last almost twice ,s long. In the matter of furniture, most of is must use what we already have, iut we may often rearrange it to a :reat advantage, and may discard, or ake into another room, some piece hat is not necessary. Most rooms Lave too much furniture, and no dece should be bought simply to fill ip a space that we may think looks are. Above all, let your chairs be omfortable, however plain, and the ilainer the better. If possible, the urniture should be of the same inish, not a mahogany table, an oak liano, some other piece of walnut, ,nd so on. The pictures are no small part of , room's decoration. They should be * i? a j j ew in numDer, simpiy uaiiieu, aim /ell hung. The subjects also should ie well chosen. I do not believe in laving pictures of battlefields strewn rith dead and wounded, or of any ther distressing scene, hanging in >ur view at all times. I once saw a icture portraying the judgment. If ny of you have that picture, for the ake of your children and sensitive isitors, take it down. Do not hang your pictures, too high, 'he central point of the picture hould be just above the level of the ye of a person standing. Do notj rowd your walls with pictures, for othing more surely destroys the elect of restfulness. One or two picures to each wall space is enough, nd then the wall space must not e too narrow. Do not overdo your! lecoration with pictures, even, if you ; oust put some of them in the closet. | n regard to the vases, and other j uch ornaments, the same rule holds. I )on't have too many. A friend of j line has thirteen different articles? n her piano. Aside from any quesion ofieood taste, think of the labor Qvolved in dusting so many, and lothing is beautiful when covered rith dust. Then, don't keep broken ases, pitchers with the handles roken off, etc., for no ornament at 11 will be far more pleasing. In act, very few are needed in any oom. i j Of coyrse, every farmer's wife has vegetable garden, and one row of his can be devoted to flowers. Lasi e'ar I sowed the seed of some easily rown annuals, and when the young lants were old enough to transplant, placed them in the onion row, in tie vacant spaces where we had used le onions. They received the same ire and cultivation that the onions id, and I had flowers for bouquets ntil frost. Try it, sisters, and keep a few ases filled with fresh flowers, and ou may be sure that real beauty bides in your home. I think we, of le farm, should not try to imitate: ur city sisters in home decoration, n t? mrtro fVinn in /"? rqoo f r\ ? niir nooHc i Uj rnwic UJOU 111 x wx XXX* I xxvvuu 1 acl surroundings are vastly differ-: nt, fet our homes nay be as artistic j s theirs if we will but spend a little ; me in educating ourselves as to hat constitutes real art.
