Let Magistrates be Elected in
Primary This Year.

A meeting of the County Democratic
Executive Committee has been called
for the first Monday in June for the
purpose of considering a petition ask
ing that magistrates be elected in the
primary this year.
As the action of the convention in
suggesting that the election of magis-
trates be taken out of the primary was
hasty, the matter not having been con-
sidered by the township clubs, and
was only brought before the conven-
tion incidentally, it is believed that a
majority of the committee will favor
the election of the magistrates in the
primary this year.
Lett be borne in mind that the ac-
ton of the convention was only a sug-
gestioh to the executive committee,
and even that suggestion was made by
a very small majority, 80 to SO, indica-
ting that the sentiment of the conven-
ton itself was notvery decided. 1t is
very probable that had the matter
been discussed by the township clubs,
a majority of the delegates to the con-
vention- would have been instructed to
oppose such action by the conven-
ton.
Should the committee fail to heed
the suggestion of the county conven-
ton, its action would not violate the
spirit or letter Of the constitution. On
the contrary, such action would be en-
tirely consistent with the provisions of
the constitution, which distinctly
states that, 1.-THE County Executive
Committee Of any county shall be at
liberty 10 order a primary election for
Magistrates"
Technically, the county campaign
does not open until the county conven-
tlon is held, but in obedience to a long
standing custom, amounting almost to
an unwritten law of the party in this
county, aspirants to Office launch their
candidacy early in the spring of each
Campaign year." In obedience to
this custom, a dozen or more men who
aspired to the Office of magistrate en-
tered the campaign in good faith, new
er dreaming that steps would be taken
TO deprive themof rights and privileges
that were granted to aspirants to this
Office two years ago. These men have
laid plans, which have involved more
OF less effort, time and expense, to the
end that the Office be flledby a pr.
mary election, and, now, at the eleventh
hour, to deprive them of this privilege
is, to say the least of it, not dealing
justly with them. It is for justice
that The Advertiser pleads.
The executive committee can gran
the petition, and a very reasonable one
it is, without %subverting any Democrat
iic principle or party rule. On the con
trary, to refuse to grantit, in the ligh-
OF all the circumstances, will be dis
tinctly un-Democratic.

Death of Mrs. Bell.

The Edgefeld friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. Luther G.. Bell was deeply
panied Sunday afternoonb by the an
nouncement of Mrs. Bells death,
which occurred early Sunday morn
ing at her home near Clark's Hill.
The interment took place Monday
morning at Clark's Hill. the funeral
being conducted by Rev. P. B. Ian
ham and Rev. L. H. Garrett, the
former being her pastor.
Mrs. Bell, Miss Annie Middleton
before her marriage to Mr.. Bell in
1897, was descended from an old
and greatly honored family, and
her untimely death, so regarded
from a human standpoint, has caus-
ed many hearts throughout the
county to be sorrow stricken.
For several years after their mar
riage Mr.. and Mrs. Bell lived in
Edgefeld, and while a resident of
our town this good woman greatly
endeared herself to many Of our
people who share this sorrow with
the bereaved loved ones. From Edge:
field they went to Red Hill to live
and later moved to Clark's Hill to
make their home permanently.
Mrs. Bell was a consecrated Chris:
tian woman and although uncon.
scious almost constantly for several
days preceding her death, she raj:
lied just before the end and stated
to one who wasnear to the family
that she was prepared to face death
but wanted to live for Luther and
Mary" her devoted husband and
little eleven-year-old daughter. Not
only will she be missed in the once
happy home, but her place in the
community and church life must
remain vacant. Her loved ones have
the assurance that she is not dead
but sleepeth," and will await Their
coming on the other shore.
The editor of The Advertiser
begs to offer profound sympathy to
these bereaved friends.

CATION to the Baptist church Sunday
morning. The music was furnished
by the college chorus, with Mrs.

his theme the fourth Wise Man who
journeyed so long and faithfully in
quest of his Master and King. The
lessons drawn from this beautiful
narrative were very effectively pre-

characteristic gentleness and tender

Men ought to take to the road and
hit it hard when they find the belly

ought to get up at cockcrowing. take
a cup of hot coffee. an orange and a
quick cold bath and walk three or
four miles at least before lunch. This
will surely drive them asleep at or 8

and times that do them most harm.
Most of the ancients for some reason
wore the belt. and used the staff, for

Pneumatic Sweeper.

1t Is no longer necessary to have
the house wired for electricity in
order to have pneumatic sweeper.
A New York man has invented one
which answers practically every pur-
pose and which can be operated by
hand by one person without any other
motive power. The sweeper consists
of a triangular framework, with re-
ceptacle for the dirt set inside. The
upper bar Of the triangle is hollow
and terminates at the lower end in
mouth like that of any pneumatic
sweeper. At the upper end is a
blower device, a handle to guide the
