Senator Tillman, Congressman Aiken
and Solicitor Boggs will speak at Seneca
next Tuesday, July 3lst This will give
the people of Oconee another chance to
hear these prominent men speak on the
issues of the day and discuss important
matters in national politics.
-
We hope when Solicitor Boggs comes
to Anderson he will bring his airship
with him and take Congressman Aiken
for a ride. e.-Anderson Mail.
Our esteemed friend, The Daily Mail,
should be ashamed of itself. Just think
of insinuating that either Solicitor Boggs
or Congressman Aiken is such a light
weight as to be able to ride in an airship.
-
II take drink when feel like it, and
walk into bar with as much reverence
as church, with all due respect to the
latter" This is the sentiment accredited
to Senator Tillman. The man who can
walk into bar with the same reverence
he does into church has either an
unduly exalted reverence for the bar OF
total lack of reverence for the church
or he may be devoid of self respect.
There is something wrong somewhere.

Opening OF the County Campaign at Long Creek.

On Thursday by 12.45 p. m. the last
entry by the candidates was in, all having
paid their asses sment and signed the
pledge to support the nominees of the
Democratic primary and not to use liquor
or money for the purpose of obtaining
or influencing votes in the campaign.
Several candidates wended their way
in the direction of Long Creek on Thurs
day afternoon. On Friday was the gath
ering of the clans. Candidates all in the
best of spirits and hopeful-and might
say coniident-w on every hand. The
fellow citizens of Pulaski township were
out in goodly numbers, confirming the
belief of the writer that every pulsation
of their hearts beat true to the welfare
of their County, State and country.
Tho meeting was called to order by the
County Chairman, G. II. ID. Burns, and
the Rev. ID. +. Carter invoked the bless
ings of God upon the deliberations of
the occasion.
The Chairman announced that under
the amended rules of the Democratic
party the candidates had pledged their
upon a high moral plane, and that the
use of money and liquor in corrupting
the ballot and of debauching the voter,
would not be INDUCED in nor tolerated
by them. This conscientious stand by
the County Chair man and the candidates
met with the hearty endorsement and
approval by the sturdy and patriotic
citizens of this community The citizens
and the candidates were called on to lend
their active influence and support to en-
forcing the rules and regulations of the
Democratic party as now promulgated,
and that any one who would furnish
proof to convict that such would be
prosecuted to the full extent of the law,
and all votes cast for such candidate
would not be counted.
The first speaker "to open the balr'
was Hon. Il. K. Werner, of Richland, can
didate for reelection to the House of
Representatives. He spoke thirty min
utes, outlining the qualifications of a
representative. That first of all he must
be man of character; that he must
know something and must be able to do
something; that the time in the Legisla-
ture was well spent in killing bad bills
as in voting for good ones. He was op.
posed to the dispensary law and would
work and vote to kill 1t as he had always
done. He thanked the people for the
splendid vote received two years ago and
of his appreciation for their support on
the 28tb of August.
The next speaker was Rev. Coke d.
Mann, of West Union. He spoke of his
long service In the Methodist church
of this State; OF his retirement few
years ago on account of a severe case of
typhoid fever; that he came to Oconee
where he had been wonderfully restored.

approval of f1ckle Fashion. and will be-
come too popular to be either diStinc-
tive or distinguished.
Fashion has decreed that a woman
may dress her hair in the style which
most becomes her
No hard and fast rule as to tho coif-
fure is possible, IL the best expression
OF the face is to be brought out and
natural charms enhanced.
Fortunately, the high style Of hair
dressing, now in vogue, Is becoming to
most women.
Certain styles of low coinure have
a remarkable way of imparting youth
fulness to face. and II q woman can
adopt that mode, she will do well to
cling TO 1t through the rise and fall of
fashions. Curiously enough, 1t Is the
low dressing which suggests youth, and
the low one. too, that nestles in the
graceful hollow OF prettily rounded
neck.
With the prevailing fashion for
dropping shoulders and nat collarless
effects a style of low hairdressing is
the inevitable decree, although to the
low coiffure has been charged the
dropping of shoulders in place Of the
bundling Of the neck.
It Is far easier to secure a quaint
fure than with a high one, but there
are many women who do not find this
artistic and negligee fashion becoming
The half high style. which starts rather
high and gives TO the head a long, mar
row and graceful appearance, is better
suited to them.
Soft, big waves accompany either the
high or low style. To get light. fluffy
effect with a pompadour Is one OF the
problems of the times. BY many skill
full maidens the roll is abandoned for q
slight, wire frame which accomplishes
the purpose without an undesirable
massive appearance
The high fluffy effect is one in which
a woman may smile bewitchingly, or
frown with deadly effect. be graciously
interested or severely Indifferent. be
sweet, feminine. earnest. confiding, ca
PRECIOUS, arch. sly and even saucy to
the greatest advantage.
There are Madonna-like faces whose
sweet serenity is enhanced by the
plainest hairdresstng.
A Psyche twist and a fillet around the
head is one OF the styles. The fllet may
be a part of the long chain or lavtlliere
which hangs about the neck, or a narrow
bandeau of ribbon
After the Greek maidens who originated
this style had died 1t was revived centu-
ries after through an accident that hap
pened to a court woman In the seven
teenth century.
She had the King wound around her
finger. and one day when she was at a
royal hunting party the wind blew her
pretty hair about and threatened her
headdress. Just as the other ladies were
hoping that a headdress awry would ruin
her. she took off her ribbon garter and
tied it around her head. She looked so
tremendously fetching that the King was
more in love with her than ever. Thus
the fashion was set-a graceful and be-
coming mode. which finds its exact coun-
terpart in the fashion prevalent in classic
times
Proper care of the hair is one Of the
duties most important TO the woman who
aims at looking her best. The most be-
coming style of coiffure cannot atone for
the lusterless tresses and unkempt
strands.

would do you very little good. You
may as well leave them out OF the
reckoning until you have more leisure.
Every schoolgirl desires to make ac-
quaintance with the great masterpieces

For the young and pretty face, almost
any color is becoming, but as one ad-
vances, more care must be exercised in
the choice of shades. If one can only
afford two hats a season, the one for
everyday wear should be of some neu-
trail shade that harmonizes with the
omplexion-brown, for instance, bum
color, gray or dull green. 1t should be
chosen with due regard to the jackets
which 1t will be worn with. The best
hat need not be too dressy. or 1t will be
inappropriate for informal occasions.
A clever girl, whose income limits her
to two hats. has the UNIQUE idea Of
"smartening" her Sunday hat with a
bunch of pink roses when she goes out
IN the evening. The hat is black lace
affair, and she pins the roses to the
side of the hat with a safety pin where
a touch of color is needed. II simplic-
