Our, camp will hold it's next regu-

Feb. 25th at 1880 p. NJ. There will be
work in all degrees. In addition to
this 1t is very necessary that all men,
Ders holding Sow certificates, see the
clerk at that time or before. There
are over 800 of our members who hold
Sow. certificates. So far only about 125
have seen the clerk and chosen their
options. 1t is Of vital interest to the
other 175 that they attend to this at
once as the time for selecting options
expires March 1st. This is the fourth
appeal we have made to you, and we
hope you will not fail to respond this
time before the time expires, as 1t is
much better to choose your own option
than to let the Sow Camp do so.
Let all members 40 years Of age

CROSS HILL NEWS.

Cross Hill, Feb. 16.-There is much
sympathy felt and expressed here for
DIR. Hugh B. Sem who has recently
lost one Of his eyes. Some time ago
his right eye became severely and
painfully affected, causing much suf-
fering and great anxiety. He went to
Greenwood for treatment where he re-
NAMED in the hospital under special
treatment two or three weeks. After
suffering the loss Of his sight in this
organ he returned home for a few days
when 1t was decided by his physicians
that 1t would be best to remove the
ball to prevent further spread of the
affection. Last week he went to the
Chester Hospital for this purpose. The
operation was performed Friday night
and a message from Mrs. Sem Satur-
day stated that he is doing very well.
1t Is thought his left eye can be saved
from injury. His father, DR.. Sem of
Newberry County, and other physi-
clans, as well as Mrs. Sem, were with
him. 1t is hoped now that his pain
and any other injury will cease.
Mr.. w. H. Leaman, one of the sales
men in j. II. Rasor's grocery depart
ment, has been quite sick for several
days. 1t was thought at first he was
affected with sciatic rheumatism but
a further examination revealed the
possibility that some other complica-
tions may exist. 1t is hoped now that
whatever the trouble it may yield to
the treatment of attending physicians.
Mr.. George Boozer, who has been
quite feeble for some time, is thought
TO be somewhat improved. Miss Garry
Goodman, a trained nurse, is with him.
We learn that there are few cases
OF flu in this section, but as yet it has
not reached any serious degree OF
danger.
Mr.. Hugh Miller Ileaman Of Colum-
bia has been spending a few days here
with his mothers family.

Delegates will be elected from the
state and If by the time Of the state
convention, on the third "Wednesday in
May, public opinion shall have settled
upon candidate, these delegates will
reflect the sentiment Of the party in
South Carolina when they reach the
convention floor. That has always
been the practice and it will be fol-
lowed this year,

THE representatives of the party will
gather there with open minds, but
with the fixed purpose of naming a
man worthy Of holding the office and
one who promises success at the polls.
AS for South Carolina and the South
as far as have been able to study the
situation there is no disposition on the
part Of the people to center on any

San Francisco convention. Who he will
be is another question. Ohio is
pivotal state. Governor Cox has car
ried it twice by large majority. He
Is a big man and popular outside his
state as well as in it. He might make
the strongest candidate the Democrats
could name, since he stands the best
chance OF defeating Mr.. Harding in
his own state.

sort OF dual role. both Numerically
opposite. As Don Diego Vega, he
appears TO his people as a young
man OF wealth and station who led
a colorless existence: an extreme
contrast to the vivid. dashing lives
OF his fellow countrymen. All are
fully unaware that as a mere boy he
had taken an oath to suppress the
prosecutions OF his harrassed peo-
pie and that eventually he had taken
the disguise OF the masked highway
man, Zorro. who always inflicted
heavy punishment upon their op-
pressors. Hence his glaring deeds
became the talk OF the countryside.
