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

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.

Sunday School Cone
vention. 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.

Attention, Court
Week Visitors
During court week there will
be a large number of our peo
ple from the country in Pickens
and knowing this there will be
very likely some strangers here
also that week with schemes to
get the hard earned money of
our farmers. We would cau
tion our people about buying
Datent medicines, eve glasses or
anything e'se from peddlers or
fakirs whom they have never
seen before and probably will
never hear of avain. When
you need anythinz, purchase
it thru a local business man
who will stand behind his goods
and who, with you, pays the
taxes to keep tnis county going.
Beware of the stranger who
wants 'o give you something
for nothing.

Little Paul Child.
On t~e evening of February
11 the death angel visited the
home of Mr. and Mrs. John F.
Child and took their 3.months
old baby, little Paul.
This little bud was taken while
young and tender to bloom in
heaven, Jesus chose this little
child because of its purity, hu
mility and love. We are told in
God's word that some stars shine
differ-ently from others in glory,
and it seems to us that the star-s
that shine with most be iuty are
the little children who die in their
innocence and never know sin.
"'Bit the Lord giveth and the
Lord taketh away," and we
must submit hum bly to His will,
for we know He doeth all things
well. Little Paul was laid to:
rest on the evening of the 12th
in the cemetery at.Griffin church.
The family haji the sympathy of
the entire community in this
sad hour of bereavement. May
God's richest blessings rest upon
them.
