The stealthy couple found the cave
and spent an hour or more within its
walls, %sRllying forth after the tardy
darkness had crept down over the
mountain and into the peaceful valley.
Then began the tortuous descent. Quin-
noX in the lead, they walked, crawled
and ran down the narrow path,
bruised, scratched and aching by the
time they reached the topmost of the
summer houses along the face Of the
mountain. After this walking was
easier, but stealthiness made their
progress slow. Frequently as they
neared the base they were obliged to
dodge behind houses or to drop into
the bitches by the roadside In order to
avoid %patrolling police guards or Ak
phain sleuthhounds.
at last, stiff and sore, they stole into
the narrow streets of Edelweiss. Lor-
ry glanced back and shivered, al
though the air was warm and balmy.
He had truly been out of the world.
Not until this instant did he fully ap-
preciate the dread that possesses a
man who is being hunted down by
tireless foes. Never did mans heart
go out in gratitude and trustfulness as
did his toward the strong defender
whose sinewy arm he clasped as If in
terror.
"You understand what this means to
me-" said Quinnox gravely as they
paused to rest. "She will call me your
murderer and curse me for my miser-
able treason. 1 am the first to dishon-
or the name of QuinnoX."

A STOOD ROADS, Senator A..

Sure it is that Asbury @. Latimer,
junior Senator from South Carolina, is
being we'll advertised as a good roads
missionary. His fame has already
overshad Hed that of Jacob Coxey, of
Ohio.
The Federal Government spends mil
lions in ways q million times more fool
ish than in this that our Asbury pro-
poses. Certainly, the scheme is wholly
undemocratic--it is "paternalism run
mad'-.-but academic democracy is
rarely the measure of a democrats
conduct in these days. We fancy that
the Latimer idea will grow rapidly aud
vastly in popularity---it may have pos
session OF the public mind before the
politicians have their eyes open. and
Latimer's conspicuousness may yet be
envied-
Strange that while B. r. Tillman Is
regarded as a far moro brilliant man
than L,timer, he has been in the SEN

ell that Yetive exchanged her male at

which oppressed her.

Would You Vote for PRESIDENTS

When on the 2Yrd of April the town
ship clubs elect delegates to the county
convention, let us hope that good men
will be chosen. The value of the pri-
mary system lies in the fact that no
ring can manipulate affairs provided
the people object. The way to object is
to attend the club meeting and partici-
pate. Ii o dozen men in a township are
allowed to manage the township con-
Germs, 1t were as well to return to the
convention plan.
1t Is in these club meetings that the
voice OF South Carolina Democrats has
a part In choosing a president and vice
president of the United States. After
the nominations are made the vote OF
South Carolina becomes purely me-
chsnical. South Carolina will vote for
the Democratic nominees, of course,
whoever they may be. The only
chance for expression of choice is In the
club meetings that choose delegates In
the County Convention, which in turn
elects to the State Convention, which
latter selects spokesmen to record the
will of South Carolina Democrats in the
National Convention.
The Democrat who fails to attend the
club meeting on the 23rd in reality
throws away his vote for President and
Vice-Pre5ident Of the United States.
