Hom ns many of thc democratic! clubs in (hr county ns ! ?outil bo reached yesterday. Prom the general reports Hie meetings of iii" clubs wei? harmonious an?! in some |l?ut little int creal was taken* No linos were drawn in the eily and nun wure seul io ihf county convention j regardless <>r affiliations, ii is Haid J Sonic lime ago an appeal was made .for all conniies in the utan- tn ?end I inst niel <>d delegations to thc state convention From a superficial read ing of th? names of Hie delegates pub lished, wo would say (lint tho com plexion of Hie county eon vent ion hore will ho very much as il was two years ago. We hope that the convention (his year will follow the sage advice of lin- county chairman two years ago, which was disregarded, and have no steam rollers, or lines of eleuvuge or anything of that kimi, hut select from thc hotly of citizenship of thc county a? represented at the convention, the best men to stand for thc liest county in the state. Thc convention two years ago fol lowed the visit of one of the candi dates for governor who had made se rious charges against thc governor of the state who was offering for re election, and the reeling at the time was somewhat acute. As a result there was a misunderstanding on ac count of rumors, which caused a se rious breach in the party. We tros? that the mistakes made then, by both sides, will serve to prove that men on opposite sides are not subjects of sus picion und distrust, but to ?howe that we are all citizens of a splendid coun ty, one whose record and history is something of which we ought to be proud) ami that in the approacning convention the dominant note will be moderation, toleration and a desire to find a common ground or patriotism upon which all meen may meet. Let's have no give and take, as if we were people of different countries but let us Beek first the good of the old county, and in doing so look for men who wi! in honor and fearlessly discharge the duties entrusted to them. There may be serious ques tions to be discussed, and these should be Bettled outside of any considera tion of personalities. LET US HAVE BASEBALL Several of the leagues of profes sional hall players commenced their annual championship hegiras under unfavorable auspices, so far as pub licity ls concerned. The mix-up In Mexico has taken the time and space of the newspapers and the reading public has almost forgotten the old habit ot looking for the sports page the first thing in the morning. Anderson has had her selge of pro fessional ball and is very nearly ' cured." lt was a costly experiment in somo ways. There ts some satis faction in observing, however, that some of our old boys are doing splen did work among tho. stars who are attracting the attention ot tho whole country, and as a matter of fact, lt was a lot of fun while it lusted. But what we wish to suggest ls this. We need baseball-not a dally sit-in. but for a week-end pastime. It does peoplo lots of good to see a game, say every Saturday afternoon. Let us have a local league here with good, lively ball by the home hopes. A closely contested game is interesting, no matter whero it is played, by whom or when-Sunday not Included. A movement is on foot to organize a leaguo of the kind we had last hummer. We hope that the public will take to lt, and enjoy it. Some beau tiful games' were played here last summer. ?001) FOP EVKKBODY We would again appeal to the people of Anderson with reforence to the Chautauqua. The appeal ls not for the Chautau qua. Whether or not the people of Anderson patronise the entertain ments herc is of little concern to the Chautauqua management, except for the pride that the men take in the success of their remarkable enter prise. But it ls for the people of Ander son that we make this appeal. Po not fail to see the Chautauqua enter tainments. Tho things that are of fered for this week will benefit even those who profess thc highest degree of culture, and at the same time will entertain and instruct those who are seeking for more and more knowledge of this great big good old world of burs. Patronise the Chautauqua-for the good that you will get out of IL It will broaden each individual life, lt .aili advance the community spirit, lt will give a taste of pleasure yet la atore, for if this year's venture la a success, the local people hacking it will bring lt beck next year, with a change ot program. We feel that we speak advisedly when we say that the clever presentation of Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" comedy by the Ben Greet players fa alone worth the price of Ute season ticket. ?

April 24.-It is prophe sied that we arc to have a summer of dancing so the smart dressmakers are thinking in terms of dancing frocks, as lt were. This may be one of thc reasons why the walking lengths of skirts are being emphasized so prom inently In the newest models. Another reason may be the output of. the beautiful hosiery. Novelties in tills line just received from Paris are more startling than ever, and nllii ir ni.L.ru urHafr will <>....... novl C\t course the tango stocking nad io ar rive. It la in bright coiurs and so that Ibo Cubists and Futurist might not be slighted, the tango backgrounds are marked with the most wonderful de signs that even the Latin quarter has seen. Excellent quality ls evident some being Italian silk, with hand em broidered figures. In the very expen sive stocking there is a small rhine stone m the center of each bit of em broidery. It ls a brave dressmaker indeed who attempts to fashion frocks these days without duo regards to the require ments of the dance. Taffetas and sat ins are now in greater demand than ever, because they are soft and pli able, and much attention is given to back as well as front views. Wide sahes and plaited tunica are details ot trimming that must nc given con sideration. Cara dine is another fashionable ma. terial, and some exceedingly pretty 1rosses are fashioned therefrom, Blue md brown, dsrk red, bright yellow, the greenish yellows share favor with the pinks, lavendara and soft reds. Ono does not seem to mind tho bright shades that are used to such in extent, because; they are trimmed with dark belts and collars and they supply the subduing touch. Tango earrings are novel and are imong the things that have been writ ten about so often. They are ct all Uses and shapes, but the most attrac tive are those of jet set with stones >f various colors. These stones now natch the ones ?vorn in pins in the mir. The long jet ones promise to ie the most popular and are especially becoming to the tall women. Dupli cates of the costly modes can be found n the better shops from $1. a pair ipward. There are sd many little accessories hat count for BO much that it Is bard o describe them accurately, Too nuch, however, cannot be said about jelts. The extremely wide effects still Ind favor nod are to be used more han ever during the summer. One ian picture lovely white frocks with leep pink girdles and bine satin rlb Mns or black velvet and \he sight is pleasing to contemplate. Smart de dans are made of black moire silk, aid In .folds about the waist and nn- j abed top and bottom with Dial tad tills.
