CAMPAIGN CIRCUS.

The object OF the county-tO- county
campaign, as We see it, is to allow the
voters to become acquainted with the
candidates and their policies and to
allow the candidate to acquant the
voters with themselves and their
policies. 1t has a dual purpose. If
we arc to consider the candidate alone
we might we'll say 'let him take care
OF himself" as he is most probably a
candidate out of self-intercst anyway.
But, when we consider the desires of
the voter who wants to see his man
in person, we do not see any more
practical plan Of gratifying his de-
sires. Suppose every candidate con-
Quoted campaign Of his own. Farm
sr3 would be running to town every
two or three days to listen to some
man or other seeking office. One day
it would be candidate for senator,
the next day for railroad commission
er, then for governor, then probably
again for railroad commissioner, and
then for treasurer perhaps, and so on
almost indefinitely, candidate for
railroad commissioner being sure to
appear along the way every day or So
The Circus" has been badly abused.

away with 1t.

We stand in need of a Chamber Of
Commerce more today than ever be-
fore. The age is Il progressive one.
why not progress with the times? 1t
is an opportunc time to rcorganiXc our
old Chamber Of Commerce which has
taken no active part i'm the affairs OF
the city Tor some time. All OF Oul
nclShhoring towns have chombcrs OF
commerce or boards OF trade, and such
organizations arc about the only
means OF getting Il prompt and dcci-
Sivc expression from the representa-
i've business men and citizens Of Il
city on affairs which affect the com
munity. a good illustration Of the
prcSeht need OF such an organization
may be found i'm the necessity for CON
ccrtcd action in securing the proposed
Cross Anchor Railroad. AS is well
known, I4aurcns wants to get this road
to come through hcr city, but as mat.
lcrS now stand it would be almost ut
terry Impossible for few citizens to
get this road without the support OF
all the business men Of the city. One
can readily see that i'm case OF the
above mentioned road coming to I.au-
rcnS that il would help not only The in
dividual but the whole community.
not all OF us set together and organ
izing now Conditions Of Supreme i'm
poriancc arc constantly arising and
we ought to have some adequate
meas OF handling such situations. Why
not all Of Su get together and organ

ACCIDENT
IN THE CITY WEDNESDAY
Ralph Knox Killed While Attempting
to AIiYht from Mo, IuU AutnmOhiJo

kaiph Knox Killed While Attempting
to Alight from Moving AutomO bile.
A deplorable accident happened in
the city shortly after two o'clock We'd
nesday afternoon when Ralph Knox,
the ten year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stiles Knox, was killed as a result of
an attempt to jump from a moving au-
tomobile. The boy was riding on the
running board Of Mr.. Ross d. Young's
car, which was being driven by Mr..
Young's nephew, Willie Bell Gray, the
car being loaded with children on the
return from school. According 10 the
story of the children, as they neared
the home of the Knox child Willie Bell
Gray called to him to stay on the car
until 1T slowed up for him. The child
either did not hear this or choose to
take a chance anyway and attempted
to jump to the ground. He lost his
balance in the jump and was thrown
head-long to the ground, crushing his
skull and knocking him Unconscious.
He never regained consciousness and
passed away about two hours later.
The news Of the accident did not
travel as fast as such news generally |
does and it was not until nearly five
o'clock in the afternoon before 1t be-
came generally known in the business
section of the city. When it was re-
cclved, however, general expressions |
of sympathy were heard expressed on |
every side for the bereaved parents.
The body Of the child was carried !
to Seneca for burial the following day. /,
Ralph was bright youth and very ,
popular among his playmates His
sudden death caused widespread sor-
row among the school children.

LAURENS, s. c., APRIL 12, 1915.

We note with certain feeling of
surprise and regret that the new city
council is disposed to conduct it's de-
libcrations in secret. Probably, how
ever, the new members haven't yet
had time to think about the matter
and will reach some definite decision
favoring open meetings very shortly
We believe tho people Of this city
want full information on the dclibera-
tions of their representatives and if
full information is not to be had dis
satisfaction will result 1t is we'll to
judge the future by the past
In order to reduce the labor Of the
club secretary and also to facilitate
the counting Of the ballots at election
day it would be we'll to divide the
present area embraced in the LAanrens
No. | district into two or more club
districts. With such large number
Of voters to be enrolled. the work Of
the secretary Of this club is made very
burdenSome and he should be relieved
1t is asking too much for any one man
to enroll five hundred voters, especial

not an easy one.

grapes, I willing to use baking
powder made of alum or phosphate, both
derived from mineral sources?"
The names of the ingredients printed
on the label show whether the kind you
