patriotism, and suffering, and said
there would yet be day when their

IN ALL DAY SESSION
The Eve and Anti-Eve Factions
WranEled i'm Augusta.

Augusta, March 1.-THE Richmond
County Democratic Executive Commit
tee wrangled the greater part of the
day, but finally voted to have the coun-
ty primary on the same day with the
state primary; to have the secret bal
lot and to throw all possible restric-
tons to prevent the purchase of votes.
Candidates must file their announce
ments by Aupril 5 and deposit with
the chairman of the Executive Com
mittee their pro rata share Of primary
election expenses.
When the meeting opened to-day
Secretary ]. C. C. Black, Jr., pre-
sented an elaborate set of resolutions,
covering the provisions set out above,
and going into all details of the Sc
cret ballot regulations The anti-Eve
faction of the committee, while maxi
ing no objection to an April 20 pri-
mary moved for postponement until
Monday of the adoption of resolutions,
and asked for time to study them.
This brought out the charge from
the Eve side that the opposition was
fighting secret ballot. This they de-
MED, and insisted they only wanted
time to inform themselves about the
details of the resolutions, and under
stand what they were committing them
selves to. The Eve party insisted that
instead of postponing action they
should devote the day to it, take up
the resolutions seriatim and study them
now and make any needed changes.
This was carried, and with recess for
dinner the committee was I'm session
all day. On the only test vote the
committee showed a majority with the
Eve party, and they consider the days
action substantial victory
1t is freely predicted tonight that
the much advertised anti-Eve legisla-
tive ticket will not materialize, but
members of the opposition say tonight
that nothing that occurred to-day will
prevent the fight on Ewes holding the
two offices of Judge of the City Court
and Commissioner of Roads and Reve-
nue..

Southern Types of Beauty /
POISE AND GRACE.

N HE confers favor on the world bv
giving to it beautiful face and
~ figure. Not only does the South
ern girl, as rule, possess beauty
OF face, but she has a certain poise and
grace, fexibility of the figure that makes
her queen among women. Though
the Southern woman NAV sometimes be
plain, nevertheless she charms because
she is womanly woman. She has her
mind and body under perfect control.
She is natural and unaffected and has
that charm of carriage which so dis
tinguishes a woman--a sense of quiet
repose. "a woman is as old as she
looks" Woman who do not give
thought to their age, thinking nothing
about middle or old age, keep young
forever. People who brush away care,
generally by reason of their unselfsh-
ness and good nature, working hard for
other peoples pleasure and well being,
possess the heart and liveliness of girl
and are the beloved companions of all
young folks. Life is short, and it is our
duty to make it for ourselves and other
people as bright as possible. Young
women should take mild physical exer-
else to overcome natural defects of form
and improve the figure. little exercise
each day will i1npart vigor to the gen.
eral bodily activity, the breathing pow
ers, the circulation of the blood. the
digestive functions and the action of
the liver, all assisted by judicious exer-
else. Outdoor air, long, deep breathing
with the mouth closed, taking into the
lungs all the air possible slowly and
without strain, and letting the breath
out slowly and measured1y, helps to
develop the bust and figure. Singing
also is help. Light dumb-bel1 exercise
remedies contracted, narrow chest, de-
velops the shoulders and rounds the neck
and gives grace and fexibility to the
figure and improves the carriage. Girls
and women certainly help to make the
world brighter if they endeavor to look
their best and keep the lightheartedness
of youth through life. Very often they
are made old and wrinkled by the pain
and burden which comes in maiden
hood, in motherhood or in the change
of life. At such times the delicate
female system is in great need of
tonic, something made without alcohol,
that will affect the delicate feminine
system. Such prescription was found
by DIR. R. v. Pierce, from the use of
which weak women are made strong and
sick women are made we'll.
Of course there are women in the cities
and country who possess neither beauty
of face or form because in these in
stances they suffer from nervousness,
the result of disorders of the womanly
organism. At regular intervals they
