State Executive Committee Sets Date
for Meeting i'm Columbia.

Columbia, March 28.-The State
Democratic Convention will be called
to meet in Columbia May 20 by the
State Executive Committee.
The constitution of the Democratic
party says:
"The State Convention shall be
called by the State Executive Com
mittee to meet every Presidential or
State election year on the third We'd
nesday in May, and the county con-
yentons shall meet on the first Mon
day in May of such years.
This means that the county con-
ventions will meet May 4. The DEM
ocratic clubs will meet on the fourth
Saturday in April, or April 25th.
Immediately following the meet
ing of the State Convention the Exec
utive Committee will be called to
meet by John Gary Evans, of Spar
tanburg, chairman, for the purpose
of preparing the itineraries for the
State and Senatorial campaigns. AS
has been the custom, a meeting will
be arranged for each county in the
State.
The attempt to place safeguards
about the primary system failed at
the last session Of the General AS
ment will be carried to the State Con-
ventlon. 1t is said that the fight on
the primary reform will begin in the
club meetings and carried on through
to the State Convention.
The question OF reforming the
rules and regulations governing pri-
mary elections in South Carolina was
brought up at the 1912 convention,
when a special committee Of seven
was provided for in a resolution to
investigate the matter and report
back to the next convention. Just
what has been accomplished by this
committee has not been announced,
although it is said that the members
have been at work, and will submit a
report at the 1914 convention.
The first primary will be held on
Tuesday, August 25th.

ELECTION IAXNESS SCORED
In Supreme Court Decision Affirming
Lexington Dispensary Vote.

Columbia, March 27.--In a decis-
ion to-day the election in Lexington
county in favor Of the dispensary was
declared by the Supreme Court to
have oeen legal. The opinion was
written by Associate Justice Hydrick.
Mr.. Fraser dissented, all other
Justices concurring. Calling atten-

ministration Of the election laws in
South Carolina, Associate Justice Hy-
drick issues note or warning.
1T may not be out Of place To
say, AS note Of warning 10 those
intrusted with the administration of
the election laws, that the evidence
in this case and others which have
come before this Court shows such
a iaxness in the administration OF
those laws, and such fagrant viola
tons OF them, as ought to startle any
thoughtful citizen. 1t Is fraught with
the greatest danger to good govern
ment and may result disastrously
when much graver issues are at
stake"

A LEGISLATOR IN TROUBLE.

columbia Record.)

Sheriff John G. Mccain has re-
ceived from II. G.. Allen, constable
for Magistrate j. f. Wingate, at
Rock Hill, a warrant for the arrest
Of Representative Norman G.. Creech,
of Barnwell. The giving of false
check is the charge in the warrant.
AS Sheriff Mccain only recently sent
to Barnwell for service another war
rant against Creech, he was unable
to render the constable any service
and will return the warrant. Con-
stable, Allen was Under the Impress
sion that the Richland Sheriff knew
where Creech could be found, but he
was mistaken in this view and the
warrant will be returned to Rock
Hill
The warrant from Magistrate Win
gate alleged, specifically, that on
February IA, at Rock Hill, Creech
made a purchase at the store Of Diel
& Moore and gave in exchange a
check for $3.50 drawn on the Pal
metto' National Bank of Columbia.
The check was returned by the bank
with the endorsement that there were
insufficient funds to protect it. The
warrant was issued at the instance of
l.. G. McFadden, a member Of the
firm from whom Creech made the
purchase.
In his letter accompanying the
warrant, Constable Allen informs
Sheriff Mccain that the Rock Hill
firm is determined to push the pros
ecution and that payment OF the
amount involved in the check will
not be accepted as a compromise
Mr. Creech, of the Barnwell dele
cation in the General Assembly, is
the youngest member of that body.
He Jared badly in several dad

MIR. HOLLAND TO THE FARMER.
Some Advice as to Crops, Fertilizers
and Other Matters, s..

Editor Keowee Courier: | would
like to advise that our farmers give
special attention to cover crops Be
sure to harrow with a cutaway or disc
or spading harrow, until all turf is
thoroughly cut up, then use turner.
If the rye gets 20 inches or two feet
high you should use the moving ma
chine and then a harrow.
would also like to get the atten-
ton of those who have low or wet
bottom lands. j. p. Stribling, who
lives on Coneross, carried out dem
onstraton last year on this class of
soil that is worth while He laid Oft
his rows nine feet wide, running
them with the stream. At the lower
end he had a ditch With a two
horse turn plow he bedded out this
land in these wide rows, and every
third water furrow he cut through at
the end into the ditch, At planting
time he runs harrow over these
beds and lays Off two rows on top of
each bed about two feet apart He
kept the beds as much elevated sin
cultivating as possible BY doing
this one can make fairly good crops
Of corn on very low lands if there is
no overflow.
! hope to meet the county board
soon in the interest IF better farm
animals. In my judgment we could
not spend in the county three thou
SANDS dollars in a better way than in
purchasing three jacks. Say put one
on the poor farm, one at Oakway and
one above Walhalla, and we already
have one at Clemson | feel quite
sure that we would within five years
begin to see our way clear. AS it is.
we get in a worse condition regard
ing stock all the time.
1t would be great help to Oconee
county If the public roads had the
much-needed' drainage. There are a
great many places where, If there had
been a bank; terrace or dam, or some
obstruction to subdue nature-iust
some kind Of way for the water to
get out--the roads would be good

Are you mixing your own fertili-

King Cotton" bankrupt you this
