The Elections,

On last Tuesday for delegates to the
Constitutional Convention excited lit
tie interest. There party was no ques-
tion involved, the Reform element lfav-
ing called the convention with the al
legged purpose of regulating the suf-
frage and educational provisions. The
Conservative element having had no
part refrained from voting. The Refor-
mers also largely refrained. The Dem
>ocratic strength is 1900 of which the
conservative is about 800. The Demo-
bic vote was 1872 OF which at least
Zoo were Conservatives-leaving eleven
hundred Reformers voting out of a pos
sible 1900. The Republican vote was
80. There are probably two hundred
negroes. in the county qualified to vote
under the present registration admin
istration. The only incident OF note
was the fact of about 200 negroes being
ut the Laurens poll with the intention
of voting with or without registration
tickets. In some quarters there is q
disposition to criticise Conservatives
for not more largely voting, but the
same criticism applies to Reformers.
Nobody regarded party issues as in
volved.

EX-Judge Wallace.

This able gentleman and noble pa
triot, at the request of Reformers and
Conservatives, allowed the use of his
name as a candidate for the conven-
ton in Union county. Partizan feeling
was too bitter and he was defe ated.
Weakness is very strong in Union.

Robert Burns in his day seemed to
think that the coin Of the realm had

COMING Erents.

There must exist congeriaiity be-
tween the stalwart Reformers in tie
constitutional convention and the Sc
called conservatives, elected from va
rious counties by Reform votes. Hav-
ing accepted the Reform votes these
conservatives must BIO close in council
with the leading Reformers and their
cooperation must be expected. Those
conservatives 40 doubt are actiny upon
the concession that the Reform plat
form is RES ADJUDICATA, and must be
accepted. Thus Governor Tillman and
all that he has said and done are err
dorsed To this concession Gov. Till
man must reeiprocatc concession and
acceptance into full fellowship in his
political household. Thus Governor
Tillman will have the endorsement of
the conservative element in tho State
so far as these delegates represent it,
as his compensation. If this rcpreseE-
tation prove stroug as q mugwulnp
combination, then there may be q
stampede of young conservatives, who
have been long in the refrigerating car,
towards the Enthusiastically band
wagon. The young conservatives will
be actuated by twoimpelling motives, a
patriotic sentiment of harmony, and al
inclination towards the loaves and
fishes. Tillman will thus be salved by
the endorsement Of this hitherto UNI
compromising element. If this theory
pans out the anti element is broken up
and u great love-feast ensues from
Oconee to East Bay including Broad
street from the old Post Office to the
city hall. There will be q stalwart ele-
ment however, of Reformers in the
convention, who will kick the dash
board and break up the band wagon
as they will be horror stricken at the
prospect of a large contingent who will
desire a share of the official pudding.
1t Is absurd to expect q partnership ex-
cept upon something like a division of
profits among the senior and junior
partners. You soc how it is yourself:
Ju~dgeships, Congress, Senatorships So
licitorships are the juicy plums in the
prize box.
In the meanwhile whatever partner
ship may be formed for the present and
whatever may be the outcome, next
year Is campaign year, national issues
will be ripe in the State and a happy
political family probably is out of all
question. All however may be loving
kindness upon State issues and war tc
the knife upon national issues, though
thisis not probable.

According to Gunter.

Governor Evans complinented Mr..
Gunter his private secretary with the
appointment OF State constable. The
Office hands out five dollars a day
while that of secretary is 1920 q year.
This beats MIR. Hyde and DR.. Jeckyl.
1t is very well, the n Office supplying
the necessaries OF life while the other
caters to the Injuries.

In an interview with the Anderson
Peoples Advocate Col. Simpson chair
man of the board of trustees, says that
this college is getting along harmon
ously, students and professors. He says
that the workings Of the institution
are open to enemies as we'll as friends.
There should be no enemies to this or

1t Is hard to be found among the Con-
sentative element in the State. If
there are narrow guage men in the

To return to the main superstruc ture-

to do duty with variety of bodices. 1t is

The brocade is large and striking pat

that it is all gorgeous within.

They end at the elbow, these puffs OF

California, OF her peoples and her oranges.
The orange satin is softened with draping

makes decoration most effective. They
are over the shoulders and upon the
sleeves, shaping the chiffon into lengthwise
puffs.
A third bodice has stripes Of pale green
satin, alternating with black, and broken
with riotous brocade of scarlet. The
sleeves are the feature OF this waist, save
that the fabric is most beautiful. They
are slashed from shoulder to wrist. With
in, full sleeve of white lace wells closer

"But awful women from the backwoods

A cloak of ermine, too good for any

Now this friend, not being acquainted
with the circumstances under which the

knowing that the bride and groom had

a handsome sideboard, with all sorts OF

SHE REFUSED HIS GIFT.

The young man might have become the
husband of the girl, only one night when
they were at little party she drank a
cocktail that was playfully offered to her.
He felt it his duty to reprimand her
mildly. She resented his interference and
the engagement was broken off.
He sought forgetfulness in travel, while
she, with woman's enterprise, became en-
gagged to another young man.
A wedding invitation was sent to the
traveller as peace offering, and as he had
recovered from his first grief he sent con-
gratulations and also wrote to one of his
friends and directed him to purchase some
suitable wedding gift and send it to the
