The recent Democratic State convention adopted rules for conducting the primaries in this State. So far as we are able to see there are nc radical changes. The old regulations prescribed rules and regulations in many particulars the same that arc embraced in the new rules. Next to the Very last article in the new rules is one sweeping change: "All existing club rolls are hereby declared null and void and before, any act may be done by any club or any member thereof may vote, its roll shall be revised as provided in these rules: Provided, If any officer of any club be found to reside outside of the club district for which said club is authorized the county committee shall appoint a member of such club to fill the office. In the year 1914 each county committee shall meet at the county courthouse on the first Monday in June, at the call of the respective county chairmen, and proceed to lay out each club district and its boundaries as privided in these iules, and at that time may form any new clubs which may they deem advisable. If any new clubs are ft imed they shall organize within ten days, as provided in section 3: Provided, further, That if any club be found to now exist inconsistent with these rules said club shall be abolished." Rule 40 provided that where the right of a person to vote is challenged the managers shall place the vote so challenged in an envelope and endorse thereon the name of the challenger and the person so challenged. Such votes are to be kept separate, and the dispute must be carried up to the county committee at its first meeting. The voter, in all such cases, having the right to appeal to the State committee. Sectionll provides that each applicant for enrollment shall in person write upon the club roll his full name and immediately thereafter his age, occupation, and postoffice address. If the name be illegible, the secretary shall write the name beneath the signature of the applicant's. If the applicant cannot write his name, he may make his mark and this ?hall li? nessed by the secretary. Section? provides that every negro applying for enrollment or offering to vote in a primary must produce a written statement of ten reputable white men. who shall swear that they know of their own knowledge that the aplicant or voter voted for Gen. Hampton in 187f>. A separate list of all negro voters is to be kept. Nettles Again Edits Advocate. Ilev. S. A. Nettles has resumed the editorship of the Southern Christian Advocate, the organ of the South Carolina Methodist conference, published in Greenville, following the re< ersal by the general conference of the verdict of the South Carolina confer* nee last November suspending him from the ministry for three months. Announcement to this effect is made in this week's Advocate by Dev. Mr. Nettles in a signed article on the front page. lie states, however, that he will lay down the work a-5 soon as satisfactory arrangements can be made for his relief, because the work is too heavy for him now. A New Disease. "Tango-foot" is the name given to a new trouble by Dr. (\. F. Koehme, Jr., of New York. It belongs to the rapidly growing class of occupational diseases, which are represented by "housemaid's knee" and "miner's elbow," but in this case the special overtaxing is due to the modern dance, especially the tango and the maxixe, which call for great exercise of the ankle muscles. At the time of the report, seven cases had been seen. BUFFALO Mr. Editor: Will you please allow ' me space in your valuable paper to say a few words in praise of one of 1 the best and most home-like mill towns in the State, if not in the South. This magnificent mill is four ' miles west of Union, on the West Spring road and just six miles from | that famous and ever-flowing spring where people come from far and near to imbibe of the waters of that noted crystal spring. This is a beautiful 1 and costly structure, and one of the largest and best equipped in the country. Has 63,000 spindles,? 2,001 looms and consumes 70 hales a day or about 21,000 bales annually. It requires about 850 operatives to run the mill, and the weekly pay roll is $5,000. This great enterprise is under the able supervision and man agement of Mr. O. F. Bennett, who came here from Massachusetts about one year ago. He is a mill man of . ripe experience and much ability and . under his wise supervision many ben^ eficial changes and various improvements have been made and the mill is now in a prosperous and fiourish! ing condition. Mr. Bennett is not , only a prominent figure in mill cir, cles, but he is prominently identified with the various enterprises of Union. He is a man of a pleasing per' sonality, very considerate and easy : to approach. He is popular with every one and is held in high esteem , from the superintendent down to the doffer. The superintendent, Mr. H. K. I Drew, is also from Massachusetts, > coming here about the time Mr. Bennett did. He, too, is a man of long , experience and thoroughly acquainted with the mill business. He comes among us highly recommended and has made a very favorable impresi sion unon those with whom he comes in daily contact, and is indeed pop- 1 ular with the operatives. Mr. Drew is ably assisted by Mr. | W. B. Todd, one of the coming young mill men of the country, having come j here from Anderson -about nine years ( ago, during which time he has held some of the most difficult and re- ( sponsible positions connected with the i 1 mill, which he filled very creditably j i and satisfactorily. He has done, ! and is doing, much for the upbuild- j ing and maintenance of the place, morally and socially. He is active , in church work and everything per- J taining to good. He is an elder in ' the Presbyterian church. ' In the weaving department will be found -'500 well-dressed and contented men and women running their looms with grace and dignity, receiving for j their services a nice compensation, ^ making from nine to eleven dallars per week, closing down Saturdays at * noon. This department is under the . management of Mr. W. T. Corn, the ! popular and efficient overseer, having . served in that capacity for the past eight years. He is assisted by Messrs. ! W. A. and J. B. Johnson. The spinning department is under ! the efficient management of Mr J. J. Bates, coming here from Virginia J foqr years ago, having served a large 1 mill there for several years in a similar capacity. He is being assisted s by Messrs. J. L. Rhinehart, R. I), j Scarboro and R. W. Gossett. Here you will see about 325, composed ! largely of bright-eyed boys and girls, , the pictures of health, happiness and contentment. . i The card room is being held down j I by the old reliable, Mr. J. L. Padgett, j having been the popular overseer , since the starting-up of the mill in , 1901. He has for his assistants, ^ Messrs. L. E. Lawson and C. M. Pad- , gett Visitors going through this de- t partment will see about 8f> stout, robust-looking men and boys, perform- , ing their duties willingly and cheer- J fully, indicating that all was well j with them. ( You will find the cloth room in 1 charge of Mr. VV. C. Poole, and we will state right here that he has the < reputation of being the best man in i Buffalo. That is saying a good deal, < as this town is composed of good men. He has associated with him in this .< department Mr. Joe Woodwatrd as j second hand. In this room will be i found about 20 operatives, mostly i young ladies, happy and cheerful. 1 The work here is light and very < pleasant, and as in all other departments, they receive good wages for their labor. Here is where the different grades of cloth is brought for inspection, baled, marked and is then ready to be loaded in the cars for shipment. Mr. Frank Johnson is the efficient 1 .T : ; _i?i snipping cierK. ] Mr. Jos. L. West Is the jovial and j accommodating superintendent of i power and master mechanic. He also ] lias under him supervision all the out- ^ side work, such as house repairs, keeping up and improving the ] streets. In these departments he has for his assistants, Messrs. J.

In the machine shop will fellows and every man can he found be found ten or twelve jolly, good 1 ! at his bench six days in the week. Mr. J. P. McCravey is the foreman af the shop. Messrs. Jo'.m Wix and Frank Clay are in charge of the outside.

This is in charge of Capt. E. E. Sanders, the popular and polite conductor, and Mr. George Willard. the brave engineer. We have here one of the largest and best arranged company stores in the State, where a fresh and wellselected stock of goods is kept con 1 1 1 *1-- ' niaiai; un uauu aim me prices arc in accordance with the times.

We have one of the best doctors in the State, Dr. Sally, though he often has the blues and complains of uusiness being dull, which of course speaks well for the place. Our fearless and efficient policeman, Mr. J. M. Wilburn, has a real bonanza, very seldom necessary to make an arrest, for the people here ire God-fearing and law-abiding. We have a fraternal organization, some of the orders have a meeting ;very night in the week. These fraternal orders are doing a great and loble work.
