"THE CAROLINA HOME"

Next Friday, August 18th, the first
number of 1.-THE Carolina Home" will be
issued by Mr.. Rhett Doyle. The paper
will be devoted mainly to agriculture,
and it is the purpose of Mr.. Doyle, as
editor, to secure articles from time to
time from practical farmers on practical
farming, giving information that will be
of benefit to the farmer in general and to
those of the Piedmont section of South
Carolina in particular. This is the first
attempt at publishing strictly agricul-
tural paper ever made in this county, and
we hope the editor will receive support
sufficient to remunerate him for his
labors. The price of the paper is very
small-50c. per year, 25c. for six months,
100. for three months. 1t will be issued
semi-monthly, on the 1st and 18th. Mr..
Doyle is an energetic young man, hard
worker, and native of Oconee, having
been raised on the farm of his father,
Mr.. w. III. Doyle, near Bounty Land, and
in his efforts at agricultural journalism
we bcspeak for him a hearty support and
wish him an abundant measure Of sue

that were necessary or for services that

in 1900, which you will see by subtract

WHO CAN VOTE IN THE PRIMARY.

There is considerable talk going the
rounds these days as to who is entitled
to vote in the primaries, and in order to
set the matter straight we give below a
synopsis of tho qualifications of the
voter as prescribed by the law of the
party:
All Democratic white voters who have
been residents of the State twelve
months and of the county sixty days
preceding the next general election, and
all negroes who voted for Gen. Hampton
in 1876 and have voted the Democratic
ticket continuously since, are entitled to
vote in tho Democratic primary elections.
Each voter must take tho following oath
and pledge, viz: 81 do solemnly swear
that / am duly qualified to vote at this
election according to tho rules of the
Democratic party, and that | have not
voted before at this election, and pledge
myself to support the nominees of this
primary"
No person shall be allowed to vote
unless his name has been enrolled on the
particular club list at which he offers to
vote at least five days before the primary
election, the club list inspected and
certified to by the president and secre-
tary and turned over to managers to be
used as the registry lists.
Registration tickets are not required
in primary elections.
Two boxes shall be used, one for
United States Senator and State officers,
and the other for Congressman and
County officers.
The names Of all candidates will be
printed on the tickets and voters must
scratch out the names of those for whom
they do not wish to vote. No other
tickets will be allowed. Partly written
and partly printed tickets cannot be
used.
No vote for House of Representatives
shall be counted unless it contains as
many names as the county is entitled to
Representatives. Oconee county is en-
titled to two Representatives and each
voter must vote for two or his vote for
that particular Office will not be counted.
The polls will open at eight o'clock in
the morning and close at four o'clock in
the afternoon.
All protests and contests for County
offices must be filed with the County

murder mystery Charles Lomer. watchman at
the Erie Basin drydock, reported that he had
found in the water part OF mans body, which
had evidently been cut in two with a
elfaver.
Several patrolmen and two detectives were hast
lily sent to the spot. They found the trunk and
lower limbs OF a man. the upper part above the
centre of the chest being missing The only cloth
ing was one shoe on the left loot. The detectives
tried to figure out a horrible tale Of murder, and
began to speculate how the body had been
carved up. Meanwhile the remains had been taken
10 the Morgue. Old ''Morgy'' Mcguire. who has
been handling such cases for many years. looked
them over. and then calmly turned down the mur-
der theory He said that the body had been in the
long that 1t had probably fallen to pieces.
The police have taken the shoe, which was of
new patent leather and remarkably well preserved,
as the only clew for Identification.
