that they are being handed aug many
counties. A gentleman from the up
country who was in the city today,
said they were being given out in
many parts Of the Piedmont.
The persistent and continued talk
Of "%bolting" caused State Chairman
John Gary Evans to issue this morn
ing his warning to the Democrats to
go to the polls and vote the straight
ticket from president down to the
county offices. He warned the Demo-
Gratis to be on their guard and to turn
out in force and roll up such a ma
Jority for the State and national ticx-
cts as to make certain of not defeat
ing the choice of the people as ex-
pressed in the primaries this year.
The warning caused considerable in
terest in the State and 1t was the
subject Of comment here this morning
by visitors who were in town from
Inherent sections. There are plenty
of indications that the voters are be-
coming aroused and intend to go to
n polls on next Tuesday.
The general election is n week
from tomorrow. the 7th of November.
To vote in the election requires regis
tration certificate and tax receipts for
1915.
The Democratic leaders believe that
the State and national tickets q re-
ceive a majority Of 100,O 600 in South
Carolina If the people will only turn
out to the polls, and they urge that
this be done this year as it has not
been done in years before. Not only
will this make certain of the election
OF II State ticket and the carrying
of the State for President Wilson, but
it will have, they declare, a good eff
feet In the North, where a bitter fight
Is being waged against the president
because Of the large number of South
erners who are heads OF the important
committees in congress-. While there
has been no talk in recent years of
a force" bill this is liable to bob IN
again should the nation be carried by
the Republicans for they are quick to
point out the small vote in the South
in the general election.
There has been unusual activity
among the Republicans in this State
this year and unless the Democrats
wake up and go to the polls somebody
may have regrets when the election is
over, as was said here today.
Governor Manning will hold a con-
ference with n committee of fire in

Mo- night vas a big night at
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton building, for there were around
six hundred folks, a large percentage
of them children. who gathered there
to participate n witness the enter
tainments which had been arranged
for the occasion. The affair was i'm
he nature of a Halloween party and.
as Halloween patries are always very
informl n therefore exceptionally
merry events. this was no exception to
the idea of what such things usually
are.
The entertainment was a triple one.
The Y. M. c. A. athletic department
furnished the stunts. the Jolly Gymns
decorated the building and the Sum-
ter Young Peoples Social Union pro-
vided and served the refreshments in
a very delightful manner Every one
who came enjoyed himself or herself
and the occasion was one that all will
long remember and hope to see dupli-
Gated in the future. =
The decorations were Of a mysteri-
Gus order. appropriate for a "Mysta-
gogle," and elected much interest
and entertainment. A big dappled
gray horse stood near the entrance to
the building with a silent rider on his
back. Curtains were arranged all
around the lobby and the visitors had
to pass through and around these to
reach the gallery, many fearful ad-
ventures being met with on the way.
Apples were suspended from cords all
about and the boys aud girls tried
their best to bite them as they swung.
In tina gymnasium there were myv-
tic drills. the participants bel d.

strange incantations as they moved
about it and stuck their sharp point
ed instruments into it. McBeth was
there and other strange beings, long
since departed. Ghosts and clowns
stalked up and down the halls fright
ening the children with their flashing
eyes and silent movements.
Immediately after the first per-
formance-for there had to be two
performances in order thai all Of the
crowd could see 1.-THE seating ca

small for all at once-the parlor was

very pleasant social hour was spent,
when all departed having enjoyed the
occasion and sorrowful that Hallow-

TIAL ELECTIONS.
Many Democrats Usually Fail to Go
to Polls i'm General Election-Er-
forts Made to Get Them out This
Year and Vote is Expected to DC
Larger.

Columbia, Oct. 3O.-The normal
Democratic majority in South Caro-
lima in presidential election years is
$4,000, which means about all of the
vote. for not over half of the voters
go to the polls. Four years ago
President Wilson received 4S,S57
votes. Col. Roosevelt 1928 and Mr..
Taft 536. The Democratic State
ticket, which was headed that year
by Cole L. Blease for governor. re-
ceived 44,122 votes to 208 for the So
cialist ticket, that being the only op-
position to the Democrats in the State
election.
In the Democratic primary of 1912
when Cole L. Blease was renominated
for governor over Ira B. Jones by a
majority Of 5000, there were lao, Oo9
votes polled, SO that over 10000 DEM
ocrats failed to go to the polls in the
general election. This condition has
existed for a number Of years because
Of the lack Of opposition to the Dem
ocratic ticket and it's certainty of win
ming.
This year.. however. the situation is
different and indications are that the
vote in the general election will be
heavy. There are five electoral tickets
in the field, the Democratic, Socialist,
Progressive and two Republican
tickets, in the bid for the presidential
vote. Then the Democratic State
ticket is opposed by the candidates
for the Progressive nomination for
governor and lieutenant governor,
and by the Socialist State ticket.
On top Of all this opposition it is
said that tickets are being distributed
for an independent vote. a bo against

1t rather gets on some of the older

who were left behind. For Pershing's
men at least are going somewhere,
doing something, while the men here
are growing FESTIVE under the uncer-

real intervention afford practically the
sole topic Of conversation.
So every night the straw board of
