Senator Church, by his demagogic ap-
peal, would try to create the impress
sion on the farmer that it is his prop
erty alone that is affected by the work
being done by the state board of equal
ization. The fact is, that the law Gre
ating the state board of equalization,
provides for the assessment of all
property in the state, of every kind
and character, including corporations,
banks, manufacturing establishments,
merchants, real estate and personal
property If the Senator did not know
that fact he is too ignorant to instruct
the people. If he did know it, he is
guilty of trying to deceive the people.
1t is not my intention to answer or
undertake to answer the speech of
Senator Church, which is but jun
gled mass of demagogie appeals and
mis-statement of facts. Space will
not permit me to answer in detail the
various mis-statements of this man
who is bowling because he is going
to be made to deal honestly with his
neighbors and his state in the future.
He made many statements which de-
serve to be refuted if they came from
a source which would carry any
weight. For instance, he deliberately
mis-stated the salaries and the ex-
penses of every official connected
with the state board of equalization
and the railroad commission. His
speech would make it appear that the
salaries and expenses of all those of
fcials are just exactly twice per an
nun what they are in fact This is
but an illustration of the extent to
which a man like Senator Church will
go, when the straight edge of the
law has been applied to him, and he
has been made to go forward and
bear his part of the states burden,
and when the. manner in which he has
been stacking heretofore is exposed
before his neighbors.

WILL PRECEDENT FOR
AN EARLY PRIMARY Be
FOLLOWED THIS YEAR?
TWO YEARS AGO. COUNTY DEM.
oCRATiC EXECUTIVE CON-
MlTTEE CALLED PRIMARY.
-FOUR OFFICES TO Be FILLED
Terms of Sheriff, Trustee, Tax Asses.
sor and County Judge Expire Next
Augustine Opposition Has Been
Announced.

Will the county democratic exec
utive committee follow the precedent
this year that was set two years ago
by calling primary for the nomina-
ton of candidates for county offices
the year preceding the regular cleo
ton? That is the question that is to
cause speculation in county politics
now.
1t will be remembered that two
years ago the executive committee set
new precedent by meeting early in
September and calling a county pri-
mary for November, although the reg
ular election was not to occur until
the following August. At that time
all of the county offices were to be
filled and there was much interest in
the forthcoming election. A spirited
primary was held and at the regular
election all of the nominees were
elected.
This year only four Offices are to be
filled and there has not been so much
activity in politics. The Offices to
be filled are those of sheriff, trustee,
tax assessor and county Judge. So far
as is known there are no candidates
in oppotion to the incumbents but if
a primary should be called for Nov
ember, as was the case two years ago,
it is probably that opposition candi
dates would appear in time to make
the campaign lively.
Sheriff G. X Houser is holding his
first term and no prospective candi-
date in opposition to his reelection
has been spoken Of
Trustee J. Ross Burns likewise is
serving his first term, as is Tax AS
SCISSOR Webb Williams.
County Judge Whitthorne was for
merly county attorney and was elect
ed by the county court to succeed the
late Judge }. 1. Mcknight, who had
served only few months of his Sec
ond term. There remains six years
of this term to be filled by the election
next August. .-.... ......-.
1t is probable that the county com,
mittee, of which Judge E. D. Looney
is chairman, will take some action
within a few weeks as to whether an
early primary will be called,

Co. Given Contract.

To accommodate the overflow of ca
diets enrolled for the 1919-1920 session
of the Columbia Military Academy, a
contract has been let to the Richard
son Lumber Co. for the construction of
q large barracks similar in architect
ure to Barracks No. on the east side
of the campus and near that building.
It will be located directly north of
Barracks No. and will accommodate
fifty cadets the new build
ing will cost more than $685.
900. 1t ! will be a three story
structure of brick and stone. The
academy heating and lighting system
will be extended to this building,
which will be modern in its appoint
ments throughout. Completion of the
building in time for it to be used when
the academy opens September Is is
contracted for, it was stated this
morning by w, B. Greenlaw, president
of the school,
This contract is another phase of
the building wave that has hit Column
bia and promises to mark the next IL
months as the most extensive building
period in the recent history of the city.
Enrolment at C. M. A. already has
considerably exceeded that of last
year. which was record year, and
the possibility is that before the Acad-
envy opens there will be almost 100
more cadets in attendance than ever
before. Col. E. B. Fishburne, princi-
pal of the academy, stated today that
the enrolment last year of 176 board
racks on the campus and that 210 have
already been signed for this year with
possibility that the number will reach
$50 by September 16. This heavy in
crease in enrolment necessitated the
construction of additional barracks.
There will also be the usual number
of day or local cadets. u lsLa
Arkansas is leading this year in the
enrolment with cadets signed from
more. than rs safes. Texas and Hi
nois again rank in the top division of
enrolment percentages, Other states
represented by number Of cadets in
clude Massachusetts, Wisconsin, Kan
sas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, all Southern
states, Missouri, New Jersey. One Ca
Diet also is enrolled from Cuba.
Columbia Military Academy's record
during the war with hundreds of grad
yates serving as officers in the U. S.
army, the remarkably successful ath-
letic season of last year, the high
scholastic standard of cadets who
have entered universities and colleges
recently and the splendid health that
has prevailed among the cadets are
some Of the features that have combin-
ed to attract the large enrolment for
the approaching session.

SUPERSTITION HARD TO DOWN

There are more SuperStitionS in ref erence to the marriage ceremony than i'll reference to any other i'll common life. They refer to such matters as the clothes to be Worn by the bride, ta the year, month and day of the wed ding. h Sweden it is believed that if Il girl iS fond of eats she will not be all old maid.

 One of our proverbs says that il is ill luck for bride to see her face in q glass by candle. Another that we'd ding feast postponed hodes bad luck.
 Bees must be told of a wedding and get some of the cake. The pins used in the dress of the bride at her we'd ding must be all thrown away; if re- taned by the bridesmaids they will not marry before WhitSuntide. \ girl must beware of being three times q bridesmaid, for she never will be q bride.
