CITIZENS FROM
SOUTH CAROLINA
WILL ORGANIZE
TO FORM A SOCIETY HERE
Many South CdFOlinidnS Are
Local Residents

Americas will soon boast another
social organization among the MANY
here already in the South Carolina
Society, as a movement has been in
augurated to organize into body the
many sons of the Palmetto State who
have cast their fortunes in Sumter
county.
Within the past two years nearly d
half hundred South Carolinians have
come to Sumter county, finding here
many others who had preceded them
and already possessed beautiful farms
or city homes, and were prospecting
here. In the business life of Americas
and the county, as we'll as in agricul-
tural pursuits, these Carolinians aIc
in the front rank, and every one who
has come is prosperous and pleased
with conditions here.
Other families, still, contemplate
moving to Americas, and the ranks OF
the half hundred former Carolinians
now good Georgians-will be strong
up augmented during the current
year The proposition to organize a
Carolina Society is being discussed
with much interest among the new
corners, and it is quite certain that
such organization will be effected be-
fore long. The idea originated with
Mr.. R. P. Stackhouse, who, it is hoped
will push it to a successful conclus-
| ion.

troll of public utilities. Col. Sheppard
will preside. Whether there will be
any of-of-town speakers has not been
announced. Mayor Mathis, who is one

DIET AND HEALTH
HINTS
BY DIR. T. J. ALLEN
Food Specialist
FOOD VS.. MEDICINE.

DR.. F. Magendie, the ceIe-
brated French physician, says,
in one of his published lectures:
"When ! was chief physician at
Hotel Dieu hospital, Paris, some
$500 patients passed through
my hands during a year. Be-
fore my term expired | tried the
experiment of giving one-half of
the patients that were then pres
emit no medicine at all; the rest
the usual medical treatment. The
former were given, instead, only
what Is known as food and sim
pie remedies and, to my un-
bounded surprise, they all got
welI-nct a single death; while
among those receiving medical
treatment the customary num-
Der of deaths occurred. A sec
ond trial yielded a like result,
and was converted. Ever since
have given but little medicine
to my patients" This is the prac-
tice of most sanitariums now, and
especially of the tuberculosis
sanatoriums, in which food is
the essential treatment. While
it is not probable that medicines
will be entirely eliminated, diet
will be the chief means of cure
In all cases in the future, as it
now is in diabetes, rheumatism,
consumption, Bright's disease
and others.

that advertising is simply news-news

Giving the State to Small Minority

ton does not meet until well on in
June. The primary could have been
called for date three or four weeks
later Just as we'll.
But outside of this lies the fact that
the partisan executive committee pro-
poses to give the state, if possible, to
Woodrow Wilson, on a minority vote
Assuming that there are two hundred
thousand votes polled in the entire
state, with Clark. Harmon, Underwood
and Wilson in the field, it is quite
within the range of reason that VIII
son might poll but scant seventy
thousand votes and yet, under the eX-
ecutive committee ruling, be given the
full voting delegation from Georgia,
although he would represent but the
small minority sentiment of the state
This is but in keeping with the
other acts Of the executive committee.
A just method would have been to
either have had the county system OF
representation in a state convention
or to have required the two highest
men in the primary to run the race
over if neither one secured majority
of the vote cast. This scheme to give
the state to Wilson is a thoroughly
discreditable one. 1t is just about
as likely to react against him as 10
prove in his favor once it becomes ap-
preciated at it's full worth.
The angelic Wilson campaign shows
all the cloven imprints of the cam
paigns of the old time politicians It's
professions Of immaculateness are
enough to make the democratic don
key die in commissions of laughter

Editor Stovall regrets that Under
wood is in the field. He considers

and one toward whom" he looked with
great hope for an appreciable addition
o the strength of the Democratic par

an aspirant for the nomination make
him any the less liable or level head
ed? Has Wilson a patent right to
the nomination? Is every one to be
"shooed" out of the field because of
the clamor that the idolators of the
New Jersey man have set up?

A travesty on popular government
is the action of the democratic state
executive committee, providing that
plurality vote in the approaching
presidential preference primary shall
give the entire delegation to the can
didate receiving it.
To begin with, the democratic ex-
ecutive committee, has shown an i'm
proper desire to hasten the primary
This is doubtless due to the fact that
the committee is controlled by those
favoring Woodrow Wilson. The CON-
mittee, as is generally recognized IS
dominated by the wishes of Senator
Smith in this respect. 1t is apparently
believed by these partisans OF Wilson
that the closer the preferential prl-
mary is brought the better for Will
sons chances. That Wilson is losing
ground steadily in Georgia has been
apparent for some time, and the exec
utive committee, acting in a purely
partisan spirit, is anxious to force the
issue before the strength of other can
didates developes. That May first IS
too soon to secure a heavy vote is UNI
questioned. Farming operations are
from one to two months behind all
over the state. Farmers everywhere
for the next few weeks will be intense
ly busy and the first day of May will
find them absolutely overburdened
with work. That thousands of them
will not quite the fields to travel to
the polls is quite likely. The setting
of the primary for so early a date IS
really an act of discrimination agains

COMMISSION RULE
FAULTY, He SAYS

ELIZABETH. April 30.[walter II.
Timms, a member of the Board of Edu.
cation and a former president of that
body, last night set at rest the report that
he mad signed the petition calling for an
election on government by commission in
this city. Mr.. Timms said he had been
approached by leaders of the commits.
sion to sign the petition. but that he de-
clined to do so because he is opposed to
mony provisions of the Walsh act.
II would not sign the petition said
Mr.. Trims, because do not believe the
Walsh act throws the roper safeguards
around the finances of IA municipality.
The commissioner are authorized to
spend money up to the debt limit-10 per
cent. of the assessed va~luation-and may
reach this limit In a year If they see ft.
In my opinion, this should not be per-
mltted in any form of municipal govern,
ment. Il
Also, | do not believe the city could
get the proper kind of men to serve as
commissioners at salaries of 5000 a year
each. Men with the ability to manage
municipal affairs in the right way can
earn much more than this In the general
lines of business.
Another objection / have to the Walsh
act is the way in which it provides for
the filing of vacancies. This practically
gives the board the power to perpetuate
itself by having its members resign at
convenient times. A very bad feature Of
the act is the provision that the Mayor
shall be elected by the board. There is
no question that this power should be
continued in the hands of the people"
