Jos E McCantS Dead.

Readers of The Record will learn
with regret of the death of Mr. JOS
E McCants, of the Earles section,
which occurred Friday afternoon.
For three years or more Mr. McCants
had been a sufferer from dropsy.
and being dependent upon his
friends for support several appeals
were made through this paper in his
behalf, as result of which a num-
ber of the good people of the county
contributed to his cause. The de-
ceased was young man, less than
thirty years of age, was industrious,
and a hard worker before he was
stricken to his bed. He leaves a
wife and one child. Interment took
place Saturday afternoon at the
johnson Swamp cemetery in the
presence of a large gathering OF
sympathizing friends. Funeral ser
vices were conducted by the Rev
Melville Powell. Peace to his ashes,

ton of State chairman, now hello
by former Governor John Gary Ev'
ans, and the making of such rules
and regulations governing the party
primaries and the conduct of the
campaign as it may see fit.
The delegates from the various
Congressional districts will caucus
during the day and elect two dele
gates from each district to the st
Louis convention. This will give
South Carolina Is votes in the ma
tionsl Democratic gathering.
The fight to abolish the county-to.
county canvass of the candidates will
be one of the main struggles to come
before the State convention. If the
canvass is not abolished there is ev-
cry reason to believe that it will be
safeguarded and amended.
The complexion of the Big Four
to St Louis is beginning to attract
some attention. 1t is customary to
send the two United States Senator'S
and the Governor. The names of
Senators Tillman and Smith, Govern
or Manning, former Governor John
Gary Evans, State Warehouse Com
missioner John L McLaurin, former
Governor Cole L Blease, Christie
Benet, Senator Alan Johnstone, Con-
gresham Lever, R Goodwin Rnett
of Charleston, president ofthe United
States Chamber of Commerce; Solic-
itor Robert A Cooper. former Gov
ernor M F Ansel, are among those
mentioned for the delegates at large
to the national Democratic conYep-
ton.
South Carolina will undoubtedly
instruct for President Woodrow Will
son, and his administration will Ee
heartily endorsed by the Palmetto
Democrats. As this was one of the
original Wilson States, the South
Carolina Democrats will be given a
place of honor at St Louis.
With the club meetings only two
weeks of, general apathy on the part
of the people is the outstanding fea-
ture of the general situation. The
indifference has never been more
noticeable, snd it seems now as If
the organization of the clubs and the
conventions will be purely formal
affairs and there will be an entire
avoidance of anything like factional
contests or paitisan proceedings.

VOTERS TO CHOOSE
DELEGATES SOON.
COUNTY CONVENTIONS TO AS.
SEMBLE AT VARIOUS COUNTY
SEATS MONDAY. MAY1.

Columbia, April 10:-In accordance
with the direct primary law passed
by the General Assembly at its ses-
sion in 1915 the Democratic voters
of South Carolina will meet in their
respective club places on or before
the fourth Saturday in April and
elect delegates to the county conven-
tions, which assemble in the various
county seats the first Monday in May.
The clubs will elect officers and one
delegate to the county convention for
every twenty-five voters or majority
fraction thereof, based upon the num-
ber of votes polled in the first pri-
mary of 1914.
The clubs will also elect'a member
to represent them upon the county
Democratic executive committee.
The rules governing the Demo-
cratic party as drawn up by the
State convention in 1914 were en-
acted into law at the session Of the
General Assembly in 1915. This puts
it beyond the power of the coming
State convention to amend or modi-
fy the existing provisions of the pres
ent rules and regulations of the
party. However,it does not preclude
adopting additional rules and regu-
lations which are not in conflict with
the statute law.
The principal features of the law
governing organization of the clubs
for the primaries every two years
provide that each voter must tsign his
full name on the club rolls. The
personal enrolment provision is con-
sid red one of the strongest safe
guards of the primary, and though
its adoption created strong opposi-
ton, it is now an accepted principle
of the party and its wisdom was JUS
tilted in its workings two years ago.
The county conventions will meet
at noon the first Monday in May at
the various county seats, organize,
elect the county chairman, choose
delegates to the State convention
and elect a member of the State
Democratic executive committee.
The county conventions will also
transact such other matters as may
be of interest to the various counties.
Each county is entitled to twice as
many delegates as it has represent
alton in the General Assembly.
r The Democratic State convention
will meet in the hall of the House of
Representatives Wednesday, May II,
at noon. 1t will be called to order
by John Gary Evans, chairman of
the State Democratic executive COM
mittee. The convention will be COM
posed of 336 delegates.
The main business before the con-
yention will be the election of four
delegates at large to the national
Democratic convention in st Louis,
the election of member of the ma
tional Democratic executive COM
mittee, a position now held by United
States Senator B K Tillman, the elec-

New York. Jan. 27.-PresIdent Wilson
tonight launched forth upon his nation
wide campaign for preparedness. His

the President had finished he was es-
corted to the Biltmore Hotel, where he
addressed the Motion Picture Board of
Trade His escort was the Ninth Regi-
ment Coast Artillery. n. G. N. Y.
Every reference the President made to
national defense was warmly applauded.
Once and only once, at the dinner at
the Waldorf, he referred to his Mexican
policy. The 1,25O men who had howled
their approval Of an adequate national
defense. sat quiet The President said
that there would not be Intervention in
Mexico because of the example such an
action would set Such was the silence
that greeted this remark that the Presi-
dent shifted swiftly and thereafter es-
chewed the apparently unpopular topic.

For some reason the President ig-

the occasion. He de~le with the aaes-

one year ago he didn't believe in a
tariff board. Before he was able to
say that he now saw virtue in such
a body. the railroad men burst into a
roar of approval But, on the con-
trary. when the President declared
that he would rather surrender terri
tory than high ideals, there was
mere scattering of applause.
As for the navy he declared that
needed no preaching. The navy, he
said. was so obviously a necessary
branch of defense that its expansion
would require but little urging. He
declared he did not fear for the naval
