REGISTER UP TO OCT z.
Governor Sends Telegram to Regis
tration Board of Each County.

Columbia, Sept. 29.-Veiled hints
in certain quarters that there might
be a bolt from the Democratic pri-
mary, which resulted in the renomi-
nation of Governor Richard I. Man
ming, has caused leaders of the Demo-
cratic party to urge on their voters
the necessity of providing themselves
with registration certificates so as
to vote for the nominees in the gen.
keral election. The only remaining
chance to qualify is during next
week, when the books of registration
will be open at every county seat.
The law calls for the books to be
open the first Monday in each month,
and Governor Manning this morning,
in a telegram to the chairman OF
every county board of registration,
called attention to the law allowing
books to be kept open until thirty
days before the general election. The
governor instructs them to keep the
books open until Saturday evening,
OctoberN, and to give as wide pub
icity to this fact as possible.
In his telegram to the various
county boards of registration the
governor said:
@*Under section 205, volume l.,
code of 1912, books of registration
may be kept open for registration of
qualified electors until thirty days
before the general election. This
will authorize you to allow qualified
electors to register up to and includ-
ing next Saturday, October Z, until
midnight. Please give as much pub
licity as possible, so that all who are
qualified may protect their right to
vote in the general election"

A LADY OF LONG AGO.
Pen Picture of the Southern Woman
of a Vanished Day.

In her social progress she rode
in a velvet-lined coach drawn by four
or six horses-not one too many for
the mud holes to be pulled through
in those brave times, writes Octavia
Zollicoffer Bond in Southern Wo-
mans. Her negro coachman, in cloth
coat and brass buttons, who could be
trusted to drive her hundred miles
in safety, skilfully handled the lines,
while liveried footmen swung jaunti-
ly to the carriage straps behind,
ready to spring to the ground, open
the door and let down the folding
steps at the will of the mistress. AS
to her wholesome life at home,
Thomas Nelson Page has covered the
case in asserting that ''The system of
living in the South made the domes-
tic virtues as common as light and
air." Housewifely thrift and execu-
tive ability of a high order made the
home of the Southern woman who
was true to the type en- Eden for all
who partook of her hospitality. Good
cheer, order and beauty prevailed
from the entrance hall, impressive
with it's array of ancestral portraits,
to the clean and ample kitchen and
servants quarters. The well-tilled
smoke house, the poultry yard astir
with fowls, the pantry supply of jel-
ly, pickle, cordial, "bounce' and pre-
serves, the cellar stocked with the
choicest vintages of the old world,
and the garden growing with every
herb, vegetable and flower known to
the new, were results of the industry
of the lady bountiful of ye olden time.
And, withal, the 'swept and garnish-
ed'' guest rooms, as rarely unoccu-
pied as vacuums occur in nature, were
dainty with lavender scented linens,
waxed floors and polished mahogany.

are a block apart, but they will be
running all the time and l will hang

is going to happen.
like to look at parades and they
tell me that they are going to have
five during the week. The farmers
parade, 1 guess, will be one of the
biggest agricultural parades ever
held. The whole agricultural depart
ment of Clemson College, floats from
a couple of packing houses, cream
cries, all the fine live stock, pig clubs,
etc., will be in the parade, besides
that there are whole lot Of farmers
who are going to. be in the parade
with floats, showing what they bave
raised on their farms. These fellows
are competing for prizes.
Another thing l have heard lot
about that I want to see is this open
air dancing. 1t must be fine just to
get out in the street and be able to
dance a whole block. | know you
can count on me being in it. l guess
it makes a fine sight to see whole
street all lighted up and decorated
and the street smooth and nice, with
a couple of brass bands playing
why crippled man couldn't keep
from dancing, much less me. But
there will be nothing doing when it
comes to skating, although | expect
to be on hand to see a lot of fellows
hit the asphalt in the crowd.
I saw pictures of the candidates
for Queen. Gee, didn't know there
were so many pretty girls in South
Carolina. 1t will be hard to pick the
winner. I am glad I got an invita-
ton to the Queens ball because they
are making big preparations for the
entertainment.
Give my best regards to Jim and
Aunt Lou. l hope both of them will
be able to be here for the Fair. l
know the dancing would do Jim's
rheumatism a world of good. Your
cousin, BILL.

DEMAND MORE FOR COTTON.
Farmers Committee Says Planters
Can Force High Prices.

Columbia, Sept. 2S.-At a meeting
of farmers in the Jerome Hotel this
afternoon a committee, consisting of
R. M. Cooper, E. W. Dabbs and w.
A. Stuckey, drew up an address to
the farmers and business men of the
State, outlining in their opinion that
cotton will bring much higher prices
if held.
In part they recommended:
eve are reliably informed that in
this State there are mills that have
sold their products at a handsome
profit based on twenty-five cents a
pound for short cotton and other
mills at from thirty to forty cents a
pound for staple cotton; that these
prices can be had if the farmers and
business men will but join in de-
manding them and refuse to sell for
less.
'How much higher prices may go
we would not like to predict. We
have heard of we'll Informed men
who look for thirty cents for short
cotton per pound, and ninety dollars
a ton for seed at high water mark,
depending upon two things, the fur
ther increase of money in circulation
and a full informing of the farmers
and business men of the State of the
true value of cotton and cotton seed,
compared with the cheapness of
money and the small supply of cot
ton"

landed in Columbia a few days ago
and I think 1 will stay here-I like
this place pretty we'll. They are 60
ing to have Jubilee in October and
all you hear is Jubilee and State
Fair. Last year they told me there
were about 10000 visitors here and
it was the biggest frolic they have
ever had, that is why everybody is
using the slogan, "Frolic Time in
Carolina" They are going to have
a queen and all that sort of stuff,
big street balls, and when it comes
to shows on the streets they tell me
that they are pippins. 1t wont cost
a cent. All you have to do is stand
up and gaze.
One fellow told me that the
parade last year was over a mile
long and he said that it would be
twice that long this year. They are
looking for 100000 visitors this
year and l certainly am going to be

frolicking.
I have been invited to the queens
ball ard I sure am going. They tell
me that it is going to be the finest
ball ever held in the State.
I saw the photographs of some OF
the floats that were in the parade
last year and they certainly were
swell looking ones and this year they
will be better In lot of the store

WHITE RIBBONERS GATHER.
At 33rd Annual State Convention OF
w. C.. II. L.

Sumter, Sept. 29.-The thirty
third annual session of the Woman S
Christian Temperance union got into
full swing today and much business
was transacted in the three interest
ing sessions held. The attendance
was good and those present showed
marked enthusiasm. Delegates con-
tinued to come in during the day and
the local reception committee was
kept busy meeting all trains and see
ing that the visitors were provided
with comfortable accommodation
during the stay. Practically all of
the officers of the association, and
delegates from many of the unions,
are in attendance on the convention,
Mrs. Joseph Sprott, of Manning, the
State president, being in the chair at
the meetings.
The feature of today's sessions was
the address by Miss Anna Adams
Gordon, of Evanton, Ind, the nation
al president and world secretary of
the Woman's Christian Temperance
union. Miss Gordon made thrilling
talk of the fight which had been
waged for many years to eradicate
the liquor traffic and how sentiment
was gradually crystalized against it
and the efforts of the workers were
meeting with success. She told of
the fight in it's early stages, giving
many incidents of what she had seen
and known in those days. Her ad-
dress was most enlightening and held
throughout.

IS INDEED "CAR COMPLETE.
Roadside Motor Camp is Queerly Con-
structed and Equipped.

If you see what might be land
going submarine or an amphlbious
shark, do not be startled. 1t prob
ably is merely the "Car Complete
and Roadside Camp" out for trial
before it starts tomorrow for the Pa
cifc coast.
The hybrid automobile has a reg
ulation Stutz chassis which carries a
body built as nearly as possible like
that of motor boat, fitted with more
than hundred devices to make it
the most completely equipped auto
mobile that ever started across the
continent. 1t carries a camping out
fit for Mr.. and Mrs. R. G. Law and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. S. Mails, who will
ride in it.
Instead of radiator, the car COM
plete has eight port holes in it's bat
tleship gray hood. In place of small
front lights there are red and green
lanterns at port and starboard. A
ships bell makes it sound like an
auxiliary fire truck.
Wicker chairs, made originally for
a motor boat, take the place of seats.
And at the end of the long, slim body
is a miniature propeller, merely dec
orative, and a flagstaff equipped with
electric lights so that the flag is il
Illuminated by night.
Tents, cots, pneumatic mattresses,
and all the other essentials of a
camping kit are packed on the run
ming board. A bark, bell and a
whistle are the methods by which the
car complete will clear the road. 1t
has no ordinary wind shield, but q
round pane of glass, like an immense

cations it will be beneficial to all.

Hamilton has always been a city
where clnsideral Ie business is

person extending the credit and
also the person receiving it. There
are merchants in our city that have
accounts on their books of long

The laboring people Of Hamilton
and vicinity should do their best in
assisting the merchants in making

must be paid sometime and why
not do it next week.
One merchant informed the
Press that if the citizens would
make il a point to settle their ac-
counts more promptly, goods could
be sold cheaper, because the mer-
chant would not be compelled to
borrow money and pay interests to
settle his accounts with the manu-
