Republicans Seek Big Registration Washington, vJuly 23.?When it "leaked out here a day or two ago that southern Republicans were actively on the move to pile up a record-breaking registration this year in the November elections, those who are active to see that the great banner of Democracy shall not be soiled in the south, got next to the" situation. The result is that a few ' of the Democratic sleuths have gotten into the inner realms of the G. O. P. wigwam and the "cat is nnw nut nf the bae." Here is the real reason for this eleventh 'hour activity on the part of the southern Republicans, as reported to Washington. The rule adopted just after the last Republican National Convention by ( the National Committee alotted but J one delegate to each congressional district hereafter. That district must not only show an organization but must also register not less than 2,500 votes for a Republican elector . . or for a Republican candidate for congress in the preceeding election. No district will be entitled to an additional delegate unless it cast at least 10,000 votes in the last preceding election or actually elected a T? ir>o n ronroQPntativp TTndfir this new plan ten southern states that sent 167 delegates to the Notional convention of 1920 will send but 144 to the one to be held in 1924, unless they very much accelerate their movements in the south and make a better showing hereafter than they have previously done. It is noticeable that South Carolina, where there seems to be,a revival of the policy of building up a white Republican party, will have but four delegates instead of 11, a clear loss . of seven delegates. This is where Joe Tolbert, the titular "boss" of t>he South Carolina G. 0. P. will get the axe and lose power and influence hereafter in not being able to _ . parade a long string of delegates to the National conventions, unless he can make a better showing this fall. By the same token Mississippi would have four delegates instead of 12, Georgia would lo&e 7 delegates. It is understood that these reductions are favored by President Harding, who is anxious to attract men of standing and substance to the Republican party of the south. The new plan is a compromise, but undoubtedly it looks toward a "white man's party." The Republican danger is that in trying to conciliate the Republican whites it may stir resentment- among the northern negroes. It will thus be seen that the "nigger in the wood pile" <has politically speaking, been smoked out of his abode, but the result is enough to warn the white Democratic voters in the south of the peril that confronts them unless'they take advantage of the opportunities^ bbey are given to prepare for the ballot. Men and women aiike should enroll for their >, primaries and see that they secure their registration certificates for the < general elections. IN CIVILIZED AMERICA, IN THE YEAR A. D. 1922.

The following extract is from the Associated Press account of the mine riots at Herrin, Illinois: "Out in a road near the mine, six men, tied together and all wounded v by bullets and blows, lay in a scorching sun, while hundreds of men and women laughed at their pleas for water. "One of the men, 'his face bloody and his shoulder shot away, apparri ently was within a few minutes of death. " 'Please boys, give me a drink,' he moaned. "A laugh from the hundreds^ of spectators was the only reply. "The correspondent rushed to a house for water and when he returned he was faced by a sword and quickly drawn pistols and told to keep away.

Columbia, July 22.?Solicitor A. \ Spigner has been served with palers in the appeal of Frank M. Jeford, the Columbia young man under entence of death for the murder of '. C. Arnette. Ira V Harrison, who ras convicted along with Jeffords ,nd sentenced to die in the electric hair, has also given notice of inten ion to appeal from the verdict of he lower court. Harrison has ten aore days in which to perfect his ppeal, under a new order by Circuit udge W. H. Townsend. There are eleven exceptions cited y Jeffords's attorney as reasons for he appeal for a new trial. The peition sets out that the motion for a eparate trial for Jeffords was overuled. Certain testimony, the petiion says, was incompetent; that the mblic mind was inflamed against effords, as -he was put to trial with larrison a very short time after the lleged murder had been committed, vas also alleged. In the Wrong Rank. It was winter, and a hard frost vas numbing the fingers and toes of iome thousands of yeomanry assem )led for drill, says the Birmingham Weekly Post. Every man was eager ,o move forward, and the horses, becoming more and more restive, angrily pawed the ground. All were waiting for big* raw-boned animal ;o succumb to the urgings of the starter and get into line. "Bring up that horse!" shouted me of the officers at last, for his patience had given out. "You'll get nto trouble if you don't!" The youthful rider of the stubborn horse looked at his officer despairingly. "I'm as tired of it as you are, sir," be said, with dull resignation, "but [ can't help it. He's a cab horse, sir, that's what he is. He won't start till he hears the door shut, and I haven't got any door to shut!" A Fable. A high priest passing a carpenter's shop, looked in and asked a boy what he was making, to which question the boy replied: A coffin. A strange thing for one so young, said the high priest. Was you expectin to die soon? Xo, said the boy, but I am going to tell the truths about some priests, lawyers and politicians, and it is well to be prepared. / Unfair Trade Practices.
