CHANCES FOR VICTORY HAVE NEVER SEEMED BRIGHTER. Picturesque Demonstration by Women Who Want Ballot Marks Day in St. St. Louis, June 14.?The suffragists' fight for an equal rights plank in the Democratic platform closed today with the "Golden Lane" demonstration and tonight all camps began their final drive on members of the resolutions committee and three cabinet members, Secretaries Baker, Daniels and Hous? ton, who are here. Hope for victory never was bright? er with the suffragists, for the convic? tion that the platform will favor their movement grows hourly. The big question is what form the plank will take. Whether It will be strong? er than that contained In the Re? publican platform can not be fore? cast until the committee takes final action. The "Golden Lane" demonstration, staged by the National Woman Suf? frage association today was the'most elaborate and picturesque suffrage dis? play ever given in,St Louis. Several thousand women, variously estimated at from 6,060 to 8,660, garbed In yel? low sashee and bearing yellow, suffrage, banners and umbrellas, formed a hme on both sides of Locust street between the Jefferson hotel and the convention hall for Democratic delegates to pass through on the way to the con? vention. The women were stationed four feet apart, facing the centre of | the street. They did not march, sav< more than a few hundred f^et toward the close of the demonstration. PIG CLUB RULES. Rules and Regulations to Govern the Pig Club Work and the Grading Plea Raised by Club Members.

Li .Boys must not be less than ten years old or more than 18 years on January 1st of any given year. 1 Bach member must care fOr his pig or pigs in person and keep a rec? ord of the feed given and the pasture grazed. i li He must ranard the weight of each at* when It co ne into hi*, pos session, or whenever contest Is begun. 4. D> case* wber bgpod sows are kept the data" of ft rowing and the number of pigs farrowed should be recorded. Record blanks, or boys' pig club books will be furnished up? on request, and should be filled out carefully "and certified to by two dis? interested persons. 6. Each menaber must have own? ed and kept a record of his pig for a period of not less than four months, in order to compete for a prise. 6. Members of the club must agree to study the instructions of the United ^States Department of Agricul? ture and that of Clemson College, sent them by the Supervising Agent of Boys' Club Work or the local agent. f. Each boy must whenever it is feasible, show at least one pig at the county fair, and the winners of the county exhibits are eligible to show at the State fair when provis? ion is mads for them. 8. All prizes will be awarded on the following basis, 100 being the maximum percentage: (a) The best hog with respect to the purpose it is to serve 40 (b) The greatest daily gains on the hog. 15 (c) Cheapest cost of produc? tion. 26 (d) Best kept record of the feeding and care of the pig 20 Total.100 There can be olny three classes, Class A. B. C. Class A. pigs for slaughter or mar? keting purposes, eligible either pure breeds or scrubs. Class B. Brood sows, eligible eith? er pure breeds or scrubs. Class C. Boars. Only pure bred eligible. Boys entering class A should not be urged to purchase pure bred or reg? istered hogs for this class, as they years ago and punished the scamps, so which ever way the election goes we will have a fine president and this [Is something to be thankful for. But Wilson Is good enough for us, and we are hoping to have no change. Wilson and Marshall will be nomi? nated by acclamation In a tumult of applause. Alabama will give way to New Jer? sey and then the noise will start. Our State will be a repetition In some ways of I860, if reports are true. The ejsiapaign meetings will he a good tonic to tho hoys r.fter a summer of hard work. Mr. Luke Baker took a stick and killed a mad dog Sunday. He said he Is not certain that It hit his dogs, but he will watch them closely to soe If they develop any rabid symptoms. If ttfcff do he will kill them. ure fur slaughter or marketing pur? poses while in Class B. it will be to the advantage of the member to have a pure bred or registered gilt or sow. However, it is not mandltory. No member will be allowed to ?snter class C. unless he has a pure bred or reg? istered boar of some standard breed. All hogs are to be judged on their individual merits. In other words it is possible for a scrub to be a better individual and produce more and better pigs, and in such cases should score higher than her pure bred competitor. As stated above boys entering this contest must feed and care for their pigs according to this rule for a pe? riod of not less ?han four months or more than eight months. This differ? ence is adjusted in the rules as a member gets a maximum of fifteen oolnts on the geratest daily gains on his pig, a boy therefore feeding eight months, the total of his gain would have to be divided by twice the number of days. The same rule will apply to the cheapest cost of produc? tion. For any additional rules governing' the pig club work, see farmers bulle? tin 566. L L. Baker, Supervising Agent of Boys'- Club Work.
