THURSDAY. JUNE 11. 1914. Enrollment Books Open. Tuesday the secretaries of the Democratic clubs throughout the State were required, under the new rules, to open their books for the enrollment of voters and to keep them open from day to day until Tuesday, July 28. All previously existing club rolls having been declared null and void, it behooves those who want to vote in the primary election next August t<? get busy and get their names on the club roils of their nearest precincts In'fore the time expires. The rule- for the enrollment and qualification of voters in the primary are, in hrief, :i* follows: Any white Democrat may enroll, who is a citizen of the I'nited States and o?f South Carolina, who is twenty-one years old (or will he before the ensuing general election in Noveinl>er) who has lived in South Carolina for two years, in the county six months and in the club district in which he desires to enroll, sixty days. The applicant for enrollment is required to present himself in person to the secretary of his club and if he cannot write his name he may make his mark, and have it witnessed by the secretary of the club. The foregoing simple requirements are all provided for under the new rules for eligibility to vote in the primary election. Get your name early on your club-roll. Well, any way, the ample caudal extremities of Governor Blease's 11 Jim swinger" allows plenty of good "holt" for coat-tail swingers. The vagaries of human nature have never been fathomed by the wisest minds. Here comes a story) from Denver, Colorado, where a man starved to- death with $S,()IK) concealed in an artificial leg, and now the authorities are looking for the heirs of the deceased economist. Senator MeLaurin seems at a loss to know "where lie is at" politically. At the beginning of his most recent letter to the press he denies that he has withdrawn from the Gubernatorial race, while elsewhere in the remainder of this letter, he virtually admits that he has handed over his "spotless banner of freedom" to John G Richards, the candidate who "is sup ported by one good office and eagerly reaching for another." Senator McLaurin seems to realize that the lot of the "coat-tail swinger" is not altogether an enviable one. We reproduce elsewhere in this issue an editorial article from the Newberry Herald and News, which has been and still is, perhaps, the strongest newspaper support the Governor enjoys. Editor Aull, however, is a fair-minded man with the moral courage to condemn wrong when committed by his friend as well as by his enemy. Few editors, by the way, are held jn higher esteem by '"the brethren" ?as the late lamented Mrs Virginia 1) Young used to style the members of the Fourth Estate?than Elbert H Aull and the paper he edits is one of the best among our exchanges. The death of the Atlantic Coast Line's veteran conductor, Capt W ft Wfthh. at bis home in Charleston Tuesday, brings sorrow to score- of his friends all along the line he served with signal ability and fidelity for forty-two years. Captain Webb, in point of service, was next to the oldest conductor on this division of the ACL railroad. For many years his run was from Charleston to Greenville, and there was no more courteous, obliging and popular railroad man in the State. His death is mourned by all who knew him for what he was?a kindhearted, high-toned, Christian gentleman. His place will be hard to fill. ANNOUNCEMENT!

Overwork, worry, weakness after sickness, catarrh, bronchitis, tender throats? all exert the weakening influence that invites consumption. To guard against consumption, thousands of people take Scott's Emulsion after meals because its rich medicinal nourishment strengthens the lnngs, puts vigor in the blood, and upbuilds strength to resist tuberculosis. Tcott's Emulsion is nature's strength-builder. Refuse substitutes. ANNOUNCEMENT. WlntbropCollege Coarse lor Canning and Poultry Prize-Winners.
