Is impossible for me to tell you the
cause when all l know about you is
what you have written.
Appearance counts for great
deal First of all you should dress as
neatly as you know how. 1t means
more to have things very clean than
to have them very costly. Be reserv-
ed in your dress and do not wear
things that will give the opinion
that you are fast. l can not under
stand how a girl with a rouged face
has many friends. Understand, ! do
not accuse you OF this. II you rouged
doubtless you would attract a certain

Perhaps, TOO, you are selfish with
out realizing that you are. Be thought
full OF other people and think Of their
comfort before you do of your own.

kind Of girl you know how to be
Put love into everything you do. 1t has
been said that life is very generous
in it's returns for what we put into

statement true.

What's IN a Name
AlThEA
(Copyright)


One Of the most confusing names in
feminine nomenclature is Althea. Elk
traordinarily beautiful and belonging
absolutely to the aristocracy, 1t is con-
stantly jostled and confused by host
Of other names. Althea, be it said, is
an individual. The name means
wholesome and not true as is gener-
ally believed. The latter significance
is generally given because it is con-
fused with the name Alathea, some
times known as Lefty.
The real Althea, which comes from
the Greek word, meaning healthy or
wholesome, belonged in ancient times
to the unfortunate mother Of Me-
leager. 1t persisted as a feminine
name in ancient Greece. but is now
more often used to designate a ge-

NO COAT FOR THIS JUROR

York, July 20.-For the first
time in a quarter of century a
Juror was allowed to sit in a case in
the Court of Common Pleas for
York County without wearing his
coat. Sam Plexico, a farmer, sum-
mened for jury duty, came from
his home, sixteen miles east Of
York, in his shirt sleeves. No objec-
tions were made to his sitting on
the jury without coat. Old court
house attaches recalled that more
than one circuit judge in the past
had refused to allow citizen to
serve as a juror because he did not
wear a coat.

FRIENDS SAY

Lincoln, Nebr., July 20.-Early
arrivals among the delegates to the
prohibition partys' national conven-
ion today were discussing chiefly
the attitude of William j. Bryan,
rshuold the convention offer him the
leadership of the prohibition ticket
next fall.
Frequent mention of Reverend
William A. ("Billy") Sunday as
his running mate brought the
statement from Mr.. Sunday that he
would be willing to accept the
nomination if chosen.
"Mr. Bryan's recent statement in
The Commoner that a man must ac-
cept such an honor if it is offered" "
said W. G. Calderwood, vice-chair-
man of the national committee, -
looked upon by US as tantamount to
declaration that he will accept.
We are preparing to go to the mat
in this campaign and we are. going
to nominate ticket that will draw
hundreds of thousands of votes"

vention will open tomorrow was re-

And Bridges Suffer From
Cloudburst-Traffic Blocked

Anderson, July. 20.-Thousands
of dollars damages was done to new
roads and bridges in Anderson
County last night by. rainstorm
which at times reached the proper
tions of cloudburst.
The engine and the tender. of a
Blue Ridge passenger train was
overturned at Watson's Crossing
near Anderson, killing the negro
firemen and shaking up a number
of passengers. The mishap is
thought to have been due to the

platform he declared is ga promis-
sorry note" which will be paid in full,
closing his address with a prediction
for November victory.
Governor Cox's address together
with brief supporting remarks by
Franklin D. Roosevelt, his running
mate, followed election of George H.
White, former congressman of Mari
eta, Ohio, as chairman Of the Demo-
cratic national committee ana mana
ger of the party campaign. He sue
ceeded Homer S. Cummings of Con-
necticut, who has served for 49,
months, and who desired to be re-
lieved of further campaign duties.
Much of the campaign details were
left to Chairman White. He was, au-
thorized to appoint special cam-
paign subcommittee, probably of 11SSN
members and to arrange other de-
tails. ..
The committee did not fix the dat
ss fer notifying Governor Cox and
Mr.. Roosevelt Of the" nomination
but the candidates and the new chair
man tentatively chose Saturday, Aug
ust 7, for that of Governor Cox at
his home, Trails End, a. Dayton.

his pledge of Democratic conduct
were made in a half hour address up
on the retirement of Former Chair
man Cummings and induction Of
Chairman White.

continued, "that a campaign fund
sufficient to stagger the sensibilities
of the nation is now being formed.
If they believe that is proper, God
speed them in their enterprise. 1t will
be one of our chief assets in the
campaign"
Governor Cox asked the national
committee members to take assur
ance to all local organization leaders
and also the men in the front trench
that the platform of the Democratic
party is prommissory note

paid in full, every dollar and every
cent.

solute confidence of victory because
we deserve to win. We are confident
because we have fought for progress
before, and we have met and con-
ouered reaction before. The strong
hold before us is not new to US. Nor
is there anything new in the antag-
onist before us (Senator Harding,
the Republican, candidate), magnfic-
ent gentleman that he is, our friend
and neighbor. In 1912 he fought for :,
the cause of reaction. We won be-

1heii poiI 1Ol IL was leCelfeu pass
lively except for a snicker from sev-
eral sections of the court house. 1t
must have been a surprise to Mr..
Seifert that by one speech from him
the business men and farmers of the
county were induced to raise almost
Immediately sufficient funds TO pro-
vide for the employment Of the cot
ton grader. Mr.. Seifert proceeded to
show the farmers where they were
losing millions of dollars by not
knowing what their cotton was worth
He stated that if his conscience would
permit him he could enter almost
any one of the numerous cotton
markets in the state and become a
buyer of cotton for one season at the
end of which he would have suffici-
ent money to support him the rest Of
his life. He stated that ne mad known
of one buyer of cotter who maze
$500 profit on one bale of cotton
bought from a farmer who didn't
know what grade it was. Mr.. Scifert
defined the difference between
cotton buyer and a buyer of cotton.
The buyer of cotton worked from
a. m. till p. m. and at tnat time
sold out his days purchases to cot
ton buyer making a good profit on
a few bales of cotton which some
farmers had bid off to him. .
Mr.. Mills next introduced Mr.. G.
F. Hopeycutt of the state warehouse
commission who spoke on the work
ings of the warehouse system and the,
advantages which the farmers would
obtain by having sufficient ware
housing facilities in the country. At
the conclusion of his address Mr..
Honeycutt called for any uestions
and a number of the farmers asked
questions regarding the warehouse
system and evidenced considerable
interest in this phase of the meeting.
the third and last speaker of the
meeting was Miss Lois Erwin, who
has been working throughout tbs
county for the past ten days holding
township meetings and urging the
people to join the American Cotton
association. Miss Erwin is the efficient
field secretary of the South Carolina !
division of the association and
young lady of splendid ability. She
made a timely address to :ae farm
ers and it was really surprising to
know just how much inIorma ;ion the
secretary has regarding the market
ing of cotton and which she gives in
a forceful way to her audience. i
At the conclusion of this speakers
address the meeting entered into
business session and proceeded to or
ganize. Capt. G. N. Nickles was elct-
ed president of the Abbeville Coun-
ty branch of the American cotton as
sociation; R. S. Link, vice-president,
and E. C. Horton, secretary and
treasurer. Membership fees of about
$400 have already been received BY

babies were registered at the nine CEN
ters Of the society, where twelve regu-
lar nurses and corps OF twenty-five
volunteer doctors forward the work of
child betterment. At those centers
2O.411 visits were made by mothers
anxiously seeking counsel, and to such
mothers in their homes agents of the
society paid 2S.642 visits. The signifi-
canoe Of the work of the society can
not be more strongly emphasized than
by pointing out that whereas the
average rate. of infant mortality in
the District during the year was IS
in each 1.O0e of babies. the rate was
II per 900 among the children under
the care of the society.
Assuming the average rate of deaths
had the society not been working with
its wee patients, it is plain that, with
1000 babies under its care. the society
can claim to have saved 298 lives.
Nothing that can be said could add to
the happy Consciousness of the society
of the significance Of such an achieve
ment, and u mere recital of the results
attained under limited facilities will
prompt a hearty response to the So
ciety's appeal that 1t be given the
chance to continue the work of saving
and. bettering the lot of Washington
