Nandenburg of Grand Rapids. has thus
far expressed himself i'm favor of a
conference. Mr. Nandenberg, in a
letter To Mr.. Ross, suggests that the
conference be not of candidates, but
of disinterested party leaders i'm the
state.
The obvious difficulty with such a
conference is that each candidate will
want to load the conference with his
own friends.

Wen watch developments for Il
day or two and let this thing thresh

Carton says he is not a candidate

If he were one. Nandeuberg, in a state

Card OF Thanks.
To the People of Fort Mill:

To the People of Fort Mill:
| wish to express through
the columns of our local pa
per my thanks to you for your
encouragement, sympathy and
cooperation during the past ses-
sion of the Fort Mill graded
school. AS DIR. Reed Smith said
to you a few nights ago, nothing
can be accomplished without CO.
operation.
The years work has been very
pleasant to me, and | sincerely
hope profitable to you.
The actual enrolment for the
year is 800. However. we have
taught 3O4 pupils. Four pupils
did not remain with us ten days,
this being the time necessary for
enrolment.
ask you to carefully examine
the reports of your children. In
certain cases you will see that
the children are conditioned on
certain subjects. This means
that they did not make the pass
mark on examination, but that
their daily mark brought them
over the pass. A pupil with only
two conditions will be allowed to
go up in the next grade on trial
at the beginning of the next ses-
sion. If a pupil has three or
more conditions. he must stand
an examination in September if
he wishes to go in the next high
er grade. A pupil with more
than two conditions must work
OIL these extra conditions during
the summer or take the grade
over.
( You may think that it is a lit
tie early to think of next session.
but let me urge every parent to
begin to plan to send every child
of school age to school next year.

again. J. Piece Coats

SWEEPING CHANGES IN
the PRIMARY RULES

Sweeping changes in the rules
and constitution to safeguard
and reform the primary cleo
tions were passed by the State
Democratic Convention which
adjourned Sine die late Thursday
afternoon in Columbia. after a
session lasting two days. The
convention worked steadily
throughout the day and all
during the afternoon. refusing
to recess for dinner. The de-
termination of the convention to
carry through the report of the
overwhelming majority of the
committee on constitution and
rules was shown in the steady
manner which it proceeded to
reject amendment after amend
ment. which were rained in fol-
lowing the tabling of the minority
report of the committee. 1t was
$50 o'clock when the motion to
adjourn was carried.
The main fight of the minority
was made on the report of the
majority which called for per-
sonal enrolment and providing
for a residence of two years in
the State, one year in the county
and 60 days in the voting pre-
cinct as qualifications to establish
residence before being eligible
to participate in the primaries.
Strenuous efforts of the minority
to knock out the personal en-
rollment were unsuccessful,
heavy majorities being recorded
time and again in favor of the
majority reports. An amend
ment by Senator Clifton allow
ing the voter to enroll by apply
ing to the secretary of his club
in person or on written applica-
ton signed by a witness was re-
jected by vote of 256 to 5.
The last fight of any vote de-
veloped on the substitute which
former Governor John Gary
Evans offered for section II of
the majority report.
This substitute required the
club books of enrolment to be
closed on the last Tuesday in
July. and three days thereafter
each secretary is to transmit his
original roll to the county chair
man. who shall file Il certified
copy with the clerk of court.

mary the county commission is

Rain is Badly Needed.

Complaints of the dry weather
are now heard on all sides.
Farmers from the township all
tell of the threatened damage
to both field and garden crops
because of the present dry spell.
While the cotton crop of this
section has been planted for
several weeks. very few farmers
have secured stands" and if
the dry weather continues for a
few days longer many of them
will be forced to plant again.
A hard. packing rain would aid
some, but as large part of the
farm land of this section is of
the clay variety. there is n
possibility of q stubborn crust
being formed on the cotton beds
which would prevent a stand
being secured in many instances.
The farmers are in hopes how
ever, that the rains will come
within the next few days and
that the fall will be such as not
to cause a crust to form on the
ground.

Awaits Action Of Mediators.

After several days of calm in
he Mexican situation. disturbed
'nly by 4 report that Mexican
outpoStS had fired at American
aviators at Vera Cruz. the ad-
ministration at Washington on
Tuesday was anXiously awaiting
advices from Niagara Falls for
the possible unfolding of new
chapters in the mediation pre-
liminaries. Much attention has
been directed during the week
toward the Constitutionalists'
attitude over representation at
the Niagara conference. 1t was
known that administration of
hciais would be gratifed if
CarranZa sent an agent. but they
do rot consider that indispensa-
bic at this time.
Exchanges between President
wilson ana secretary Bryan and
the American mission at Niagara
Falls were continued, but ad-
ministration officials declined to
intimate what the dispatches re-
ferred to.
Through the Brazilian legation
in Mexico City the State de-
partment learned that the situa-
ton at Guadalajara. recently
reported threatening for foreign
ers. was tranquil and that there
was no danger.
Secretary Bryan stated Tues
day that he had no new infor-
nation from Niagara Falls.

Grain Crop Unpromisins.

Reports from the different sec
ton of the county say that pres
ent indications are that the grain
crop is going to be very dis
appointing OH account of the dry
weather. Up to about ten days
ago the prospect was good. but
early oats are now ripening, and
much of it is not tall enough to
use a binder and will have to be
cut with a mower like hay. The
wheat crop is not as good as COM
mon it is said.
