< _______? ; BLEASE FACTION : ORGANIZE PARTY ^ I % | Prepare for Future Contests | Within Democratic Party ? at Elections B 9 iDECLARE AGAINST j BOLT OF PRIMARY % But Bitter Attacks Made on Methods of the Dominant f Faction. i ? Columbia.?Close political observIers today expressed the opinion that the tone of the Blease conference in Columbia means that Cole L. Blease will hn ji mndidfito for Ciovornor in 1918. The Blease forces will be or| ganized in every district ar.d it is believed that the followers of the former Governor will make a supreme effort to capture the State gov ernment. It is not believed that Mr Blease will offer for the Senate. W. P. Pollock of Cheraw and W. Jasper Talbert of Edgefield, have already announced that they will be in !the senatorial race. A. F. Lever, member of Congiess, will very probably enter the race. A?*rew J. Bethea, lieutenant governor, and John G. Richards, railroad cornmisioner, said today that they iwere seriously considering the matter of entering the race for governor. The conference last night adopted a resolution offered by John G. Richards reaffirming "allegiance to the Democratic party and to the Democratic principles, State and national." It was resolved to appoint a central committee, composed of one represen tative from each congressional disItrict and two from the State at large to organize the Blease faction. The following were appointed: State at large, W. A. James, of 1 no O I. I d\Y\ r\OM? /\ f n uw , . aj. u viiuouii) UL o};iti laiiuui By districts: First, John P. Grace, of Charleston; second, E. R. Buckingham, of Aiken; Third, James U. Pear man, of Anderson; Fourth, Riley J. Rowley, of Greenville; Fifth, I. J. Campbell, of York; Sixth, Thomas P. Brown, of Florence; Seventh, J. B. , Addy, of Lexington. ?( A platform was adopted which followed closely the issues made by former Governor Blease in his campaign last summer. A long list of grievances was recited against the conduct of the primary and it was chargj ed that fraud and intimidation had Ibeen resorted to and the result was not the will of the majority of South Carolina Democrats, f The principal speakers were ex' Governor Blease, W. A. Stucky, Thomas F. Brantley, John P. Grace | and Charles Carroll Sims. Mr. Blease made two speeches. He was very bitter in his attacks upon Governor Manning and leaders of the dominant faction and upon certain newspapers. Ho made sweeping charges of dishonesty in the conduct of the primary | and insisted that the majority will had been perverted. He declared that he was not a candidate now nor would be in the near future for any political office, but he held himself and his followers absolved from any obligation to support the nominees of what he declared to be a fraudulent primary. Mr. Blease denounced newspaper reports of his recent speech to the negro students of Allen University as misrepresentations. A resolution was adopted requesting that he would prepare for publication a true reI sume of his remarks on that occasion. The convention was called to order by W. A. Jones, of Bishopville, upon whose call it had gathered, and W. J. Tablert was elected permanent chairman. John L. McLaurin was elected permanent secretary. The conference was attended by practically all of the principal Bleas? loaders and the former Governor was enthusiastically received by the gathering. 4) Bad Colds From Little Sneezes Grov Many colds that hang on all winter start with a sneeze, a sniffle, a sore throat, a tight chest.

ARMIES DIVIDED i Germans Stop Counters at Verdun?Allies Advance In Macedonia I The situation of the defeated Russo-Roumanian army in Dobiudja appears slightly less critical from the official report from Petrograd which describes the pressure of Field Mar-, shal von Mackcnsen's armies as some what weakened. Unofficial dispatches from Berlin report that the Entente forces were split into two parts with the fall of Tchernavoda, some of the troops escaping over the great bridge across the Danube while the others fled northward in Dobrudja. Apparently the sections remaining in the Black sea province have finally been able to make something of a stand against the onrush of the Bulgarians, Germans and Turks north of the Constanza-Tchernavoda line. Von Mackensen's guns are now said to be dominating the bridge. In Bad Situation. As a whole, the situation for Ru- i mania is considered by military com-! mentators in Berlin as increasingly i precarious, in connection with the operations in Dobrudja and the Austro-German successes in the mountain passes on the north. Petrograd, however, asserts that the Teutoir'p pressure also has been arrested iii the Transylvania border regions. Further north in the Carpathians, near Capu! mountains, th.c Russians report the repulse of a Teutonic attack. In Macedonia new Entente advances are announced. o Several parties from other sections of the State passed through here in automobiles last week.

Your life may be an active one. and thus you niuy care for all you eat. But a few days of inactivity show your system does not cull for so much. You awake In the morning tired* Your body feels heavy; you know you are not up to the mark. Your digestion lias not cared for the overload. Part of it remains. It generates pas that Inflames tho delicate linings. They fall to pour out tho diyrestivo fluids ami neglect , to absorb tho life-giving elements. You know somothlng is wrong. Your body gets weak, and soon opportunity is offered for some severe lllnes. Taken in time, the Indlgo^tio" would not become serious.

A tonic that will quicken digestion, help remove waste, soothe tho j soreness and arouse the system? that's just what you need. Peruna has an enviable record in this respect. It has aided many thousands in the last century to overcome Just these conditions, and thereby prevent serious sickness.

C., the "Burbanki of the South," who has not only sue-1 c6cded in evolving a strain of blackcotton, but also strains of gray, pi k ( and yellow cotton, and who is shortly to bo entertained in this city-by his friend, Mrs. John H. Macy. If Brab-| ham's black cotton proves out in actual test, so that the seed will produce black cotton year after year, ho will have solved one of the big dye problems of the textile industry, and should his other colors of cotton give the same results there seem to be no limits to the possibility of developing strains of various colors. o Clemson College, S.
