March 22.?Plane for the organization of the Bleaae faction for the 1918 political campaign were ten? tatively formulated at a meeting of the central committee held yesterday in Columbia. After the meeting John hi. Aalh secretary of the committee, gave out the following statement; "The. central committee of the Re? form Democratic party of South Caro? lina hold a meeting in Columbia today at which various matters affecting the interests of the party were consider? ed, and plans for a thorough organi? sation of the party were discussed and informally formulated. "All of the members of the com? mittee ware present either in person or by proxy. "The committee is composed of nine members?two from the State at large, and one from each congres? sional district. "Judging by expressions of the members attending the meeting the question of taxation will bo one of the main Issues in the campaign of 1918. The present nnanoml condition of tkt 8taU was discussed. "Tho position of the Reform parts upon this question .* well known. The party, stands for efficiency in the ad mlnftatratlon of the Stale government. , but contends that efficiency can be maintained with economy which would reheve the burden ander which the taxpayers are now laboring. "AH **ree*otiB idea has seen gives circulation by those who were not in? formed that the meeting of the com mlttee today would nominate candi? dates for certain positions. This was entirely foreign to the object of to? day's meeting. However, a general convention of the Reform Democratic party will be called at a latter date, when tho matter wlU be determined. "Among those attending the see aloe of the committee today, In addi? tion to the members were: Congress? man Fred H. Dominick of the Third district. Railroad Commissioner John O. Richards. Col. D. W. McLanrin, ?sate land commissioner. Former Governor Biease, and others." "Mexican Border Service" Radges. "Mexican Border Service" badges can bo secured from Dr. B. S. booth by any Sumter county man who sav service on the Mexican border. Dr. Booth requested today that this announcement be made in order that those men, who have not secured their badges may do so. He has a supply on hand and is anxious to have each man of Sumter county who served on the border have one of them. A Road Problem, Talking about good roads reminds us to wonder whether there is any road anywhere which can be bene? fited by tho dragging of logs down its middle or the plowing up of its edges. Then when you meet the people who do all these things they start cussing out the hum roads and the mea who, they say. are responsible for ths failure of the authorities to fix ' the reads. I Too often you meet in the read a heavy cart with some log, or other part, dragging in the road, or else somebody is taking a plow down to another field and touching up ths roadbed at bit In the operation. Then you can see the furrows of the plow od fields running a foot or so into the sdge of the roadway at many places. ??Times and Democrat. . , I Nothing Succeeds Like Success.

"The supreme court by interpolat? ing into the law and argument before It for consideration a foreign matter, namely, denial to workers of the right to qnit work In furtherance of their just and necessary rights, pointed out the way to those who wish to tie wr?r1.ers to their work in order to pro? tect the supposed convenience of the public. "Mr. Gompers ceiled attention to the splendid, progressive declaration in both Mexico and Russia, countries which are passing through a period of danger and national stress, assuring to the workers of those countries 'the right to strike/ "The opinion of the United States supreme court In connection with the Adamson law decision belongs to the old reactionary despotism of Rursla and Mexico and Is out of harmony with the free institutions of the re? public."
