feathers of the hen, the rooster, the
pigeon, the ostrich, the turkey, the
goose the guina hen, the duck, and
other birds which are in the game Of
domestic class. Let the sellers Of head
dress beware Of offering for sale hats
trimmed with the feathers of the buZ-
Zard, the egret or heron, the tern and
of other feathered birds, for surely the
Audubon society will nab such offen-
ders. In Anderson at present there Is
no official agent of the bird society, but
this should not lull the milliners into
a false security, for one cannot tell
when one Of these agents may come
along, and find a hat decorated with
unlawful feathers. Such hat will get
it's proprietor into trouble, should that
proprietor offer it for sale. 1t is a
question whether the society agent will
take it upon himself the right Of
snatching lovely hats, bearing illegal
feathers, from the shining tresses of
Anderson's fairest maidens. Probably
this will not happen. However, there
is grave and imminent danger that any
milliner selling hats trimmed with the
lovely plumes from a buzZard's tail or
wing will be apprehended and fined.
The aigrette, a popular trimming, Is
under the ban, as is the herons wing.
A sweet little stuffed songster, a
pheasants feather or a cranes plum
age are all prohibited. The question is,
will a feather campaign arouse the
ladies to revolt?
There are to be two independent
candidates in the general election next
Tuesday, one in Lexington and the
other in Richland. 1t will be remem-
bered that the nominee for superin-
tendent Of education in Lexington
county, committed suicide shortly after
the primary. Instead of ordering
another primary the county executive
committee undertook to give the nom
ination to A. D. Martin, the candidate
next highest In the race. There was
a protest and State Chairman Jones
asked the county committee to call
another meeting and reconsider the
matter. The county committee, how
ever merely re-affirmed it's first deci-
sion. The voters generally were dis
satisfied on the ground that Mr.. Martin
had no established claim to being the
choice Of the majority. Rev. E. L.
Lybrand, Lutheran minister Of
Brookland, has been announced as a
candidate in the general election
against Mr.. Martin. He and his
friends hold that he is in no sense q
bolter as Mr.. Martin has no claim to
being the regular nominee. The Rich
land case Is different. The candidates
for. supervisor in the primary were w.
D. Startling, the incumbent and S. H.
Owens, former supervisor, Owens had
done good work as supervisor; but there
developed facts and circumstances that
were prejudicial to his reputation for
correctness in handling the county's
funds. On the face of the returns
from the primary, however Owens was
elected. Startling protested on the al
legation that numerous unauthorized
voters were imported from Fairfield
and Kershaw counties in the interest
of Owens. He claimed that he could
establish the fact beyond question; but
because he could not prove enough Of
such votes to affect the result he with
drew the protest. However, Mr.. w.
D. Douglas, a member Of the board Of
commissioners from the upper part Of
the county, is not willing to allow the
matter to be settled on the basis in
dicated. He says he is not a bolter;
that he is as good a Democrat as there
is anywhere: but he does not propose
to allow the perpetration of fraud
unchallenged. Both Mr.. Douglas and
Mr.. Lybrand have strong followings,
and the probable outcome Of their res
pective campaigns is being watched
with a great deal Of interest.
