The battle for nomination* in the coming primaries, equivalent to election, will be opened in full Wait on June 15th, when, by a decision of the State Demoerdtic executive committee, tyro campaign parties will hit the tjail that will take them into every county seat Between now and that date, a]] prospective candidate* will have to make up their mind* on the ques tion “to run or not to run." The party convention here last Wednesday brought forth a rather scanty crop of announcement*. Much interest waa focussed on the state ment of Senator Roach S. Stewart, of Lancaster, that he had definitely decided not to be a candidate for the United States Senate, or the Governorship. Senator Stewart is sued a statement thanking those who for several months hsve been urging him to be a candidate for one of the two highest offices to be filled this summer. Col T. Both Butler, of Gaffney, Senator from Cherokee) County, caused surprise in some quarters by announcing his entrance into the ,' race for Lieutenant Governor. His name had been mentioned in connec- i tkm with the Senatorial campaign, and also as a possible contender for the Governorship. Another State Senator, Col. James G. Padgett, of Colleton County, made the statement that he intended to seek the Lieuten ant Governorship, but lator indicated —■**——*—a——BfiBma^——— - v-v ‘ | Popular Stylet Fashion—often bizarre—muny time* queer an*l very often fickle is very often beautiful Seldom has it been more fco, that, when these two charming hats were designed.

One other candidate was already in the field, James O. Sheppard, of Edge- field, a member of the House of Representatives. Representative T, F. Brantley, of Orangeburg, took ad vantage of the convention gathering in Columbia to definitely announce he would oppose Congressman Hampton P. Fulmer, of the Seventh District. All State officer* elected this year will serve four-year term* in stead of two. as the result of ratifi cation by the General Assembly of orutitutionsl amendment* approved at* the last general election. The only exception will be the members of the House. Under ' a propose# amend ment to be submitted to the vqters at the coming election, sessions of the legislature in the future would be held evMy two years instead of every year, as at present, and, it is pointed out by supporters of the propoul that this change, together with the four- year terms, would give the State prac tically four-year |K*riods of freedom from political agitation. No changes in the situation with re gard to the senatorial race developed as immediate results of the conven tion. Senator E. D.

Senator Dial has not made any public statement, so far S* is known in Columbia, with regard to whether or not he will oppose ,his former colleague, Senator Smith* The latter has been ill recently in a Florence hospital but he is reported to have shown tepid improvement an^ is expected to J>e ready to take the qtump on June 15th. Lieutenant Governor Edmund B.

Mr. Jackson filed his pledge and assessment on the day of the convwition. / His campaign for the Governorship will jc his second effort in Stalo politics, as he had never been a candidate until four years ago who •. he defeated two opponents for the Lieutenant Governorship on the first ballot. Among other announced candidates for the Governorship present as dele gates at the convention were Carroll D. Nance, chairman of the House ways and means committee for the last two years and a Representative from Laurens County for the last six years, and George K. Laney, for merly State Senator from Chester field. Mr. Nance said he had met with encouragement during his early campaign work in various parts of the State. Mr. Laney took the con vention floor twice to interpose ob jection to the convention placing the party on record with regard to de tailed matters of taxation, saying the tax question “would be fought out on 'the stump this summer. One of the principal ’planks in Mr. Laney’s for mal announcement was a belief that thfc “gross ir.qualities of our tax system” about which there has been so much written and said, are “ex- aggemteej.” Others at Convention. Major John G. Richards,-of Liberty Hill and Columbia, a member of the State Railroad Commission, and a former candidate for Governor, was among the spectators at the conven tion. Thomas H. Pejples, of Colum bia, former Attorney General of the State and at present a member of the House from Richland, and B. W. Crouch, of Saluda, are other announc ed candidates for Governor, besides John T. Duncan, of Columbia, who has not missed a campaign for many years. For other State offices, no great amount of interest ha* yet been shown, at least on the surface. James W. Shealy, who was appointed com missioner cf agriculture^, commerce, and industries upon the death of B. Harris, early this year, has two op ponents alreadj’ in the field. They arc. R. H. Adams, of Due West, and B. J. Pearman, of Anderson, both meiribers of the House. Mr. Shealy mrntly' ai»hbuii'cecr”Hfs candidacy for re-election. He made the campaigns twn‘"years ago*agaTnst Commissioner Harris and was in the second race. Other offices to be filled include Attorney General, Secretary of State, Comptroller General, and State Treas urer. Some of the Congressional race* promise to arouse more than local interest. In the Fourth District, Rep resentative John J. 'McSwain, of Greenville, has opposition in the. person of State Senator W. S. Rogers, of Spartanburg. Representative Ths. S. McMillan, of Charleston, finds his seat sought by I. Shep Hutto, of Dorchester, who was in the race two years ago. W. F. Stevenson, representing the Fifth District, is opposed * by Wb Vance Davidson, and Representative Fulmer, of the Seventh District, may have other competition than that furnished by Mr. Brantley? of Orange burg. T. B. Pearce, State Senator from Richland County for the last eight years, has been persistently mentioned as a possible aspirant for Mr. Fulmer’s seat, but he ha* not made any formal announcement of his intentions, except to soy that he is not seeking re-election jto the State Senate. r —~— ' * New manufacturing enterprises in the erritory served by us are invited to unicate with us, as we may be able'to afford assistance in the financ ing of their enterprises, as well as as sist in Ae distribution and sale of ■ v. by John Joseph Opines, M. D IVY POISONING. The Ivy plant grows wild in many parts of the United States especially in timbered sections, ft may be recognised by its three leaves on each leaf-stem; the harm less Virginia creeper or wood-vine has five. Hundreds of tiny “root let?,” by which it clings to the trees or fence-posts where it finds lodging, helps to make identifica tion of thidreaded growth easy. 'Some people are not susceptible to the poison, and can handle it with impunity; but in others, it produces terrible stinging, burning arid swelling of^the skin, which be comes covered with watery blisters. Eye* may be closed by swelling, and the ears enlarged to twice their size* Contact is ndt necessary to sus ceptible people; those of fair olein may be attacked by walking near the plant when it ia in bloom, dr when It is in vigorous growth. I have never known cur from ivy poisoning, though few skin afflictions are more didtress- iug. In management, it is well to re member that we are dealing with an acid poison. Therefore, alka- line.s .Ytaii't first in medicinal treat ment. Lead lotions are extensively u.- edj because of their soothing ef fect, but lead-salt; are themselves poisonous; anti, uo fluid or lotion employed should - be permitted te g^t into the eyes.

It is clean—does not stain, and has no offensive odor. !t may be employed freely without danger. The trouble should be cleared ap in two to foi^- days.
