I in certain quarters tnat tnere mignt
1^ be a bolt from the Democratic pri'm^ry,
which resulted in the renomination
of Governor Richard I. ManB|
ning, has caused leaders of the Democratic
party to urge on their voters
the necessity of providing themselves
with registration certificates so as
to vote for the nominees in the gen^^BBeral
election. The only remaining
^^^^Bh^nce to qualify is during next
week, when the books of registration
mm will be open at every county seat.
|f- The law calls for the books to be

in a telegram to the chairman of
every county board of registration,
called attention to the law allowing
books to be kept open until thirty
^ days before the general election. The
governor instructs them to keep the
books open until Saturday evening,
October^ 7, and to give as wide publicity
to this fact as possible.
In his telegram to the various

may be kept open for registration of
qualified electors until thirty days
before the general election. This
will authorize you to allow qualified
v electors to register up to and including

- quhlified may protect their right to
I vote in the general election."

A LADY OF LONG AGO.
Pen Picture of the Southern Woman
of a Vanished Day.
In her social progress she rode
in a velvet-lined coach drawn by four
or six horses?not one too many for
the mud holes to be pulled through
in those brave times, writes Octavia
Zollicoffer Bond in Southern Woman's.
Her negro coachman, in cloth
coat and brass buttons, who could be
trusted to drive her a hundred miles
in safety, skilfully handled the lines,
while liveried footmen swung jauntily
to the carriage straps behind,
ready to spring to the ground, open
* i 1 , i* . 1 J !
the door and letr down tne ioiamg
steps at the will of the mistress. As
to her wholesome life at home,
Thomas Nelson Page has covered the
case in asserting that "The system of
living in the South made the domestic
virtues as common as light and
air." Housewifely thrift and executive
ability of a high order made the
home of the Southern woman who
was true to the type an Eden for all
who partook of her hospitality. Good
cheer, order and beauty prevailed
from the entrance hall, impressive
with its array of ancestral portraits,
to the clean and ample kitchen and
servants' quarters. The well-filled
smoke house, the poultry yard astir
with fowls, the pantry supply'of jelly,
pickle, cordial, "bounce" and prefVia
collar ctnpVpd with the
T vu, V\/A*MA . ....
choicest vintages of the old world,
and the garden growing with every
herb, vegetable and flower known to
the new, were results of the industry
of the lady bountiful of ye olden time.
And, withal, the "swept and garnished"
guest rooms, as rarely unoccupied
as vacuums occur in nature, were
dainty with lavender scented linens,
waxed floors and polished mahogany.
IS INDEED "CAR COMPLETE.
Roadside Motor Camp is Queerly Constructed
and Equipped.
If you see what might be a landgoing
submarine or an amphibious
shark, do not be startled. ! It probably
is merely the "Car Complete
<and Roadside Camp" out for a trial
before it starts tomorrow for the Pacific
coast.
The hybrid automobile has a regulation
Stutz chassis which carries a
body built as nearly as possible like
that of a motor boat, fitted with more
than a hundred devices to make it
the most completely. equipped automobile
that ever started across the
continent. It carries a camping outfit
for Mr. and Mrs. R. G. Law and
Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Mais, who will
ride in it.
Instead of a radiator, the car complete
has eight port holes in its battleship
gray hood. In place of small
front lights there are red and green
lanterns at port and starboard. A
ship's bell makes it sound like an
auxiliary fire truck.
Wicker chairs, made originally for
a motor boat, take the place of seats.
And at the end of the long, slim body
is a miniature propeller, merely decorative,
and a flagstaff equipped with
electric lights so that the flag is illuminated
by night.
Tents, cots, pneumatic mattresses,
and all the other essentials of a
camping kit are packed on the running
board. A bark, a bell and a
whistle are the methods by which the
car complete will clear the road. It
has no ordinary wind shield, but a
round pane of glass, like an immense j
goggle. When the car complete
makes a sudden stop a lever is pressed
and a red* signal, like the block
arm on a railway system, swings out
to warn machines following.?-New

DEMAND MODE FOR COTTON.
Farmers' Committee Says Planters
Can Force High Prices. \
Columbia, Sept. 28.?At a meeting
of farmers in the Jerome Hotel this
afternoon a committee, consisting of
R. M. Cooper, E. W. Dabbs and W.
A. Stuckey, drew up an address to
the farmers and business men of the
State, outlining in their opinion that
cotton will bring much higher prices
if held.
In part they recommended:
"We are reliably informed that in
this State there are mills that have
sold their products at a handsome
profit based on twenty-two cents a
pound for short cotton and other
mills at from thirty to forty cfents a
pound for staple cotton; that these
prices can be had if the farmers and
business men _will but join in demanding
them and refuse to sell for
less.
"How much higher prices may go
we would not like to predict. We
have heard of well informed men
who look for thirty cents for short
cotton per pound, and ninety dollars
a ton for seed at high water mark,
depending upon two things, the further
increase of money in circulation
and a full informing of the farmers
and business men of the State of the
true value of cotton and cotton seed,
compared with the cheapness of
money and the small supply of cotton."

T
Sumter, Sept. 29.?The thirty- ^
third annual session of the Woman's JT
Christian Temperance union got into t
A
full swing today and much business +
was transacted in the three interest- ^
ing sessions held. The attendance
was good and those present showed ^
marked enthusiasm. Delegates con- X
tinued to come in during the day and J
the local reception committee was
kept busy meeting all trains and see- V
ing that the visitors were provided
with comfortable accommodations A
during the stay. Practically all of
v
the officers of the association, and I
delegates from many of the unions,' t
are in attendance on the convention, V
Mrs. Joseph Sprott, of Manning, the ^
State president, being in the chair at
the meetings. I*f*l
The feature of today's sessions was
the address by Miss Anna Adams J
Gordon, of Evanton, Ind., the nation- ^
al president and world secretary- of ^
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union. Miss Gordon made a thrilling ^
talk of the fight which had been
waged for many years to eradicate t
the liquor traffic and how sentiment f
was gradually crystalized against it ^
and the efforts of the workers were
meeting with success. She told of
the fight in its early stages, giving
many incidents of what she had seen t
A
and known in those days. Her ad- J
dress was most enlightening and held ^
the attention of her auditors
throughout. ^

her:
