Roosevelt campaign before the Re-

One summer day, when the courts
were languishing and clients were
scarce, Martin and several attorneys

on the shady side of the old building.

he removed his shoes and socks.

Rocky Bluff, Feb. 23.-I notice
that some Of our correspondents
bad everywhere. Our roads were
clayed last summer and they have
been almost impossible nearly all this
winter, before they can be got in
good condition from one heavy rain
or snow another comes. On last Sum
day we had heavy rain, on Monday
and Tuesday the sun shone like
spring and Wednesday another big
rain, so it seems doubtful whether
any farm work can he done for a
month yet.
Some farmers still have lots Of cot
ton in the fields. The writer heard a
farmer remark sometime ago that
he thought the cloth made from the
greater part Of last years crop would
not be worth buying.
Those who planted oats early are
the only ones who have any and in
some places the oats have been
drownd out.

ference for Bishopville church last
Sunday He preached at the union
service that night from 9th Psm and

spoke for one hour and held the un-
divided attention Of the large congre-
cation. At the beginning of the SER
vice he mentioned that it has been
just 30 years since he first visited
Bishopville, then a lad making the
rounds Of the circuit with his father.
Bishopville was then nothing more
than a cross roads with a few old
wooden stores and the church was
old Bethlehem a mile or two on the
Camden road. Mr.. Herbert is an
earnest, eloquent preacher and

PURIFYING THE PRIMARY.

TENSEN BILL OVER COVER

Much Debate on Message Sent I'm by

ate declared in favor Of the Christen-
sen bill prohibiting aliens and for
eigners frcTu voting in the Democra-
tic primary, when the measure was
sent back to the general assembly
yesterday afternoon with the veto Of
Gov. Blease. The bill will according
ly become a law over the veto of the
chief executive.
The debate In both houses took the
same direction. The members who
advocated the bill. took the position
that they did not wish their votes null
lifted by the ballots of foreigners,
who are voted like sheep" in the
larger cities Of the State. Those who
favored sustaining the governors veto
tried to fortify themselves behind the
argument that a man must be q reg
istered voter before he Is a citizen
OF South Carolina. the same argu-
ment that tho governor used against
the bill In his special Veto message.
The senate passed the act over the
veto OF Gov. Blease by vote Of %
to a. In the house the vote was more
decisive. only 16 members voted in
favor OF allowing no-citizens and
aliens to vote. while 81 members cast
their ballots to exclude foreigners
from the Democratic primary.

SCOUTS CHOOSE INSIGNIA.
NUMBER OF Scouts Take Oath for
Tenderfeet - Patrol FOmed For

"A large and enthusiastic meeting
OF the Boy Scouts was held in the

evening at which the patrol leaders
began their instruction to the mem
bers of their patrols and those pa
tro.s already formed took their in
sigma
Ihe Sumter organization Of Boy
Scouts is to be the "Gamecock

name having been unanimously rec
commended and adopted for the Or
ganization at the meeting. The in
sigma taken by the patrols was as
follows:
Fraser Dick, patrol leader. Tiger.

II. r. Haynsworth, Jr, Rattlesnake.

X. II. Monaghan, Panther.
Each patrol selects an animal or
bird as Its insignia, and these were
the names selected Friday by the
various patrols. A number Of the
boys had already prepared them
selves to take the oath as tenderfeet
Boy Scouts and they were sworn in
to the order. Others will be ready
by the next meeting when they also
will be sworn in.
AS some Of the boys have with
drawn from the organization on ac-
count Of supposed expenses to be in
Cured by the members, it will be Of
interest to these and their parents
TO know that no expenses are incurr-
ed except those voted by the patrols
for themselves. While uniforms may
be obtained and some Of the patrols
may choose to get them, they are by
no means necessary and it is probable
that very few patrols, if any, will
decide to get them. The only other
expenses TO be incurred are those
for jaun.s as the patrols decide to
take part in.
