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

r ANDERSON THE CENTRE? r
Q
Recent Earthquake Seems to Have t
Had Centre Near There. r
c
From information received today, 1
State Geologist McCallie, of Georgia, c
* has decided that the earthquake 1
which shook Atlanta Monday evening c
was centred somewhere about Ander- ^
son, S. 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

organization of the clubs and the con- a

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:

RELIABLE REMEDY i
RESTORES KIDNEYS f
For many years druggists have r.
watched with much interest the re- ^
markable record maintained by Dr. r
Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the great kid- f
ney, liver and bladder remedy. B
It is a physician's prescription. &
Swamp-Koot is a strenginemng es
medicine. Dr. Kilmer used it for t|
years in his private practice. It helps r,
the kidneys, liver and bladder do the R
work nature intended they should do. jg
Swamp-Root has stood the test of S
years. It is sold by all druggists on H
its merit and i't will help you. No Q
other remedy can successfully take g
its place. g
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and ||
start treatment at once. H
However, if you wish first to test B
this great preparation send ten cents R
to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. B
Y., for a sample bottle. When writ- 9
ing be sure and mention The Bam- g
