Contest Papers Served On Lever

Washington, Dee. 1s.-Representa'
tive Lever wH have a contest for his
seat, or that which passes for a con-
test. And it will be an experienced
contestee, Alexander D. Dantzler OF
Orangeburg.
This morning Mr.. Lever went to
call on Representative Mann of Illi-
hois, the chairman of the election
committee which has had chargei of
these contests and told him that the
time for fling contests having expired,
he would have no contest for his seat
in the Sixtieth congress.
eI congratulate you, Lever said
Mr.. Mann. 81 am glad Of it on my
own account, too, for the blamed fool
niggers in my district tried to beat
me this year because I didn't vote to
turn you out.
But little later in the day ND
Lever was forced to go again to~ Mr..
Mann and say that he had spokep too
soon. Ats2:10 o'clock today a negro
lawyer saw Mr.. Lever in one of the
corridors of the capitol and served
upon him notice of contest by Dantz-
Ter. The 80 days for filing contests
had expired and Mr.. Lever would not
receive. the notice except with the en-
dorsement by Stewart of the day and
hour of service, in the presence of a
witness, who was Representative
Bartlett of Georgia.
There is only one thing new about
the grounds of contest as stated in
the notice. This is that the salleged
present constitution of South Carolina
is IN violation of the fourteenth and
fifteenth amendments to the federal
constitution in that it discriminates
against colored citizens and Republi-
can voters of the seventh congress
sional district of South Carolina by
requiring of them qualifications for
voting not required of a certain class
of citizens, commonly known as Con-
federate soldiers who voted for 'syou,"
the .syou'' meaning Representative
Lever.
Jacob Moorer, lawyer, and that
sort of thing at Orangeburg, will rep
resent Dantzler when the committee
takes up the case, and if nothing hap
pens to prevent The States represen-
tatiye will be on hand, for, if it is to
be like the contest of last year, it will
be show.-The State, 10th

A CHRISTMAS FOR THE
ENGAGED GIRL
Ideal Time to Learn a Wife's First
Lesson,

Ideal Time to Learn a wires FIRST
Lesson.
The wish of every bride-to-be is that
she shall become a model wife, and
before the eventful day arrives when
she gives herself to him, "for better
or for worse,' she should do all she
can to prepare herself for her new po-
sition. SO that, as far as she is con-
cerned, the union shall prove "for bet
ter
When a girl promises to become a
wife, the man mas every right to sup
pose that she is competent to ill such
a position, and, no matter how old
she is,fif she is not capable of manag-
ing a house she is not old enough to
become a wife.
One of the first things to learn to
manage is the money, Many girls, who
happen to be the eldest or the stay at
home daughter of the family, have
gained comfortable experience in
housekeeping and are quite capable
in this respect, but there are others
who have no idea of laying out money
to the best advantage. 1t does not
matter whether the home be poor or
rich, in both economy should be prac-
ticed and waste avoided. The girl
who is inexperienced in household
matters will do we'll to gain an insight
into them before she takes the burden
of them on her own shoulders.
She should learn to know good
piece of meat from bad piece, and
not be content just to give the order
and let the butcher send what he
thinks he will, which often happens
to be Joint that he has not been able
to sell to the customer who chooses
her meat for herself. True economy
consists in buying small quantities of
the best Joints and using them careful
ly, but even then there are pieces left,
and these should be utilized in COM
posing tasty little supper dishes.
It is well known that to make a
man happy one must ''feed the bruue,"
but be careful how the food is prepar-
ed and cooked or the result may be
far from happiness. A thorough
knowledge of cooking and preparing
food should therefore be acquired, so
that the bride to be is capable cook.
Although she may not actually have
to do the housework, it is necessary
for the future bride to know how to do
it. The future housewife will not
think that housework is beneath her,
and if it is necessary for her to under
take it she will do it with will, so
that the little house is indeed q home
to the husband when he arrives home
tired after perhaps worrying day.
