Cultivate Self-Confidence A good thing for candidates in ;his contest to do is to cultivate self - confidence. There is no 1. ieed for you to be afrnid of any- i mne. Remember that, in this i ontest no one has any way of I elling what another's reserve orce may be, and the very per- ) on whom you dread is probably I ust as much scared as 3 ou are or fear you have such a pile of rotes back of you that you will ake the lead any time you get -eady to do so. The Hare and the Tortoise Do you remember the fable rou were taught in school of the iare and the tortoise? These wo agreed to run a race, and all J he bets were laid upon the nim >e hare. Some even derided i he tortoise and practically told I iim they liked his nerve in put- ] ing himself against the swiftest < >f creatures. 'But the tortoise ust kept on muttering his-fa rorite: "Slow but sure, slow )ut sure." When they set out t was but a few minutes before he har was out of sight, and he patient tortoise was laboring n the rear. When Mr. Ligit oot saw there was no one in ight he laughed to himself and lecided he would stop at the first vayside house for lunch. This oadhouse was called Turnip Top nn, and the hare ate a very earty luncheon and then took I p the course again. But he did 1 ot fdel so light now, and pres ntly with a yawn he laid down 1 or "forty winks." Waking t uch refreshed, he loped easily long until he came in sight of f the goal, when what was is astonishment tosee the plod ing tortoise creeping at the same teady gait at which he had set- s ut and within only a few inches s f the line. A series of mad j saps brought the hare in a trice t D the judges' stand, but the ace had already been won by he tortoise. Points a Morl a The moral is plain. Keep go- t ag. Never let a day pass with- C ut adding some votes to your . Lst. It will not be giving your< elf a fair chance if you do not t 3 ake the most of every moment f f your time during the remain- a 2g days of Opportunity Time. 'I steady pace is certain to bring ou to the front, and you will I ave no need to fear the swiftest a pponent if you keep right on ong until you reach the goal. t Subscribers, Take Notice s Now is the time to renew your [ ubsriptions or to subscribe for 'he Pickens Sentinel and give ( 'our favorite the votes. Your ~ ubscription now will give them noe votes than will ever be al awed again during this contest. Eour t'avorite will .eed all they otes he. or she can possibly se- i ure. The race is just fairly on, nd your help is needed to make s rour favorite win. Remember c hat "a friend in need is a friend s rdeed."

The William Easley chapter nited Daughters of Confeder .cy, met on W~ednesday after Loon with Mrs. P. H. Sellers. his meeting being the first of he fiscal year.

Hamilton, reelected first rice-president; Mrs. J. H. Cheat iam, elected second vice presi lent; Mrs. A. R. Hamilton, re dected third vice president.

Tom J. Rob ,~ formerly of Pick ns, was shot an~ fatally wounded in reenvile Monda3 ight by a man he zad quarreled with., "Bruce's Greate Shows," a small With Our Legislators Columbia. All evidence up to this time indi cates that the present session of the legislature will be one of the most re actionary in the history of the state and that not one- of the important state-wide measures introducpd will have passed when the session closes, which in all probability will occur within the 40 days formerly prescrib ed by law. At this time it seems that the best that can happen will be that Richlnad county will establish a con structive precendent that may in the future be followed by other counties. It was evident that there would be no primary reform this session; the warehouse bill seemed dom'ed without any effort being made to construct a measure that would put into effect the idea involved, and it loked as if the Fortner bill prohibting white eachers from working in negro schools would be passed at the night session, at least in an amended form and possibly with Charleston county exempted. The governor sent to the senate a message urging the passage of the Fortner bill even if Charleston should beexempted. He said that Charleston seemed to -be exempted from every other law in the state, and he did not see that it would do any harm to make an exemption in this case. House. The Weston resolution providing for the merging of the University of South Carolina and the College for Women was unfavorably reported by the finance committee of the senate, and, on motion of Senator Weston, the unfavorable report was adopted, in view of the resolution having been killed in' the house. The senate kiled the Johnson bill to allow magistrates to suspend sen. tence in certain cases to permit labor ers to work during the season of crop making and serve out the term of sen tence afterward, The Stuckey bill to require the fer tilizer Inspectors of Clemson College to inspect the oil mills and fertilizer mixing plants of the state passed the senate and was ordered sent to the house. The Carlisle bill providing for a celebration of the Treaty of Ghent in 1915 was passed and ordered sent to the house. The Sinkler bill to exempt prop erty of the Young Women's Christian Association from taxation was st-nt to a third reading with notice of general amendments. The Weston bill to provide for a reapportioning of the Richland coun ty dispensary fund, and his bill to re quire all railroads to furnish protec tion to employes engaged in the yards and shops of said companies were sent to third reading, A concurrent resolution was adopt ed in the senate providing for a com mittee consisting of two members of each house to look after the repairs to be made on the state house and providing for an appropriation of $10,000 Senatpr Weston had adopted a resolution to permit the introduction f a bill to incorporate the Columbia, ongaree & Orangeburg Railway. War broke out recently among the members of the Richland delegation n the question of sending to the sen ate the Miller bill, relieving the city f Columbia of the necessity of removs ing its bridge -across the canal until steps shall be taken to complete the big ditch. Mr. McMaster cpposed the passdge f the Miller bill, asserting that the city of Columbia should obey the man ate of the supreme court requiring he removal of tiie bridge on the sup osition that the canal was a naviga ble stream. it passed third reading and was sent to the senate by a vote of 92 to 2. The house refused to sanction the transfer of the College for Women to the board of trustees of the University of South Carolina In trust for the high er education of women. By a vote of 65 to 36 the house 'struck out the en: acting words of the Lumpkin joint resolution providing for the co-ordina tin of the two Institutions under the control of the trustees of the univer sity. The resolution was debated for three and, one-half hours on the floor of the house at te morning and night sessions. The debate attracted many visitors to the house galleries. Senlate, The house took up the Rittenberg bill to refrom the primary, system in Charleston county and killed it by a vote of 54 to 44. Five of the eight members of the Charleston delegation voted against it. Mr. Thompson of Charleston said that he was not oposed to the bill but reserved the right to amend It on third reading. He said that he wanted the Australian ballot system adopted in Charleston. The passage by the house at least of some legislation looking to the reform of the primary elections is regarded as practically certain. The house re fused by a vote of 58 to 45 to strike ut the enacting words of the primary reform bill offered by the judiciary committee as a substitute for the Nicholson and Miley bills. Final ac tion on the measure was deferred on account of the fact that tihe house wanted the many amendments offered to the judiciary committee measure printed in its journal. The house passed and sent to the senate the bill by the Richland house delegation which will allow F. Sumter Earle to run for mayor without resign ing from his place on the city coun cil. The bill amends the Columbia commission form of government law by striking out the section which re quires members of city council and of the civil service commission to resign their positions before offering for elec tion in another municipal position. On motion of Mr. Stevenson, the house took up out of its order the senate bill profiding that banks or ganized under the laws of the state could enter the federal reserve sys tem and passed it to third reading. As the law stands at present only na tional banks can enter reserve system. By the nari-ow margin of one vote the bill providing an appropriation for an exhibit from South Carolina for the Pnma Exposition in San n.ranc in 1915 passed the senate and was orderect returned to the house with amendments. As passed by the senate the bill carries an ap propriation of $12,000 which will be used in transporting and maintaining the state exhibit at San Francisco. The Stuckey bill td allow all alle%.s except Japanese and Chinese to hold property on the same basis as Ameri can citizens was sent to a third read ing in the senate without a word of opposition. This bill is said to be identical with the bill passed by the legislature of California last year. The McCown bill to allow the rail roads to issue free passes to the sheriffs, rural policemen and the com missioner of agriculture passed the senate and was ordered to the house. Tlfe bill was amended to provide that mileage now allowed the sheriffs re vert to the county so that it might not be possible for a sheriff to ride on passes and pocket the mileage. The Verner bill to authorize the board of school districts of the state to purchase and operate moving pic. ture machines in their schools was passed and 'ordered sent to the house. It provided that one-half of the cast of the pictures shall be paid out of funds to be raised by poular subscrip tion or otherwise, and it affects only those schools having 4 term of SIX months or more, The senate seat to a third reading the Youmans bill to allow employes of a city *waterworks to accept free transportation on the street railways. The Weston bill to abolish the of fice of dispensary constable in Rich land county passed the senate and was oredered sent to the house. Senator Stuckey's bill to require the fertilizer inspectors employed by Clemson College to inspect the pil mills and plants manufacturing or. mixing fertilizers in this state was sent to a third reading, without oppe sition. Senator Carlisle's bill to celebrate the centennial of the Treaty of Gb.ent was sent to a third reading.. Do you want to make some easy ir oney?

Marer 12th The Pickens County Interdenomina ;ional Sunday School Association will iod its annual convention in the Pick as Methodist church on Thursday, ,4arch 12, having a morning, afternoon md night session, adjourning in time for veryone to get home by bedtime. ' A full pro Trani is being made out and rill be p int-d next week if possible. sommittees -have been appointed to nake all the necessal y arrangements for :he convcntion, This time is an unusual season, but it :o be hoped that every superintendent vill see that his school is represented~by mt lea:t iwo delegates. Every persom nterested in Sunaay school work is ex ected to attend, whether a delegate or lot, for there will be something talked mbout that will be 'of importance. This ~onvention is for every Christian and ot for any denomination. We are all v-orking as a unit and not a union, as ;ome may think, Certainly it will do ou no harm to come and see what we ire trying to do. Let every school in Pickens county se ect at least two delegates to this con ention and send their names to Albert . Riser, county secretary, Liberty, S. I. Let this be done next Sunday, Feb. E2, so that a roll can be made. Every ~astor is spacially invited to attend and .s asked to see that these delegates are ?lected, as the superintendents some times overlook these important things. The state convention held last week in Anderson was the the best one ever held, nd those who missed it lost a great teat event in their lives.. Pickens county does not want to be ~ehind in this great cause, and let's all rally to this call and do greater things Cor the next year. The cost is so small, compared to the ood we get out of it. ALBERT F. RISER, See'y. Liberty, S. C., Feb: 16, 1914 To the Teachers and Pupils of the Coitly It is earnestly requested that each teacher in the county canvass their pu pils and see whether or not the boys or the girls want to join either the Boys' Corn Club or the Girls' Tomato Club of he county. Several have already en rolled in the Boys' Corn Club. Any boy is eligible to join who is under 18 years of age at the time of joining- The teachers should send their names to the ounty superintendent of education or to T. A.

There-will be two prizes for the boys that stand the highest in the club-a short course at Clemson College for a period of thirty days. All expenses will te paid by Clemson College. This is within itself enough to cause at least 100 boys in the county to join the club. A prize of $10 will be awarded to the school that sends iui the largest number of names; or, in other. words, the school hat has the largest number of club members from their individual school. For the best ten-ear exhibit in the fall, open to all parties, $10. There will be 'ther valuable premiums announced la ter; also the premiums in the Girls' To mato Club. R. T. HALLUM, Co. Supt.
