It was such wonderful day that it was little wonder yesterday that no one wanted to remain indoors. It was therefore natural that the South ern club cafe, always popular, was packed to the wings of the dining rooms with parties there for the 'nid- day luncheon.
 The music arranged by MT. Levy was beautifully rendered by the or> chestra, augmented by the lovely sing> ing of Miss Lillie Goldstein.
 The tables had all been redeco rated with spring plants growing in daintily decorated pots.
 Among the many present were:
 MT. and Mrs. W. Lee Rouche and Mrs. J. l.. Hill. MT. Robert Newman, recent addition to Birmingham and new member of the club was there with Mrs. Newman.

 The experience and testimony of such women as Mrs. Wilson prove beyond a doubt that Lydia E. Pinkham's vege- table Compound will correct such trou- bles by removing the cause and restor- ing the system to a healthy normal con- ldition. When such symptoms develop as backaches, bearing down pains, dis placements, nervousness and ''the blues"a a woman cannot act too promptly in trying Lydia B.

Ramberg, Oct. 9.-The Mary Ann

practically destroyed by fire about
midnight last night. The fire was
discovered on the roof by one Oh

much headways at the time, ana
practically the entire upper story
was burned off. The other por-
ton OF the building was so damas-

down rather than an attempt be
made to repair.
The building had formerly been
used as the young women,s dornl-

all their belongings, but the furnl-

had been contemplating removal
of the building and the erection Of
a more substantial structure in its
stead
The loss is placed at $4,000 to
$4,000. the greater portion OF which
is covered by Insurance.

Peanut Plant
At Denmark
Virginia Firm Erects Big
Plant to Handle Crop

Denmark. Oct. 9.-The big pea
nut shelling plant Of Pond Brothers
Peanut company commenced TO op-
crate Friday and the management
states that they have planed to op-
crate their plant at least eight
months continuously this year and
perhaps a longer period If conol-
tions Of the crop warrant. the
building is four stories in helght
and has the latest type machinery
The plant is designed to have a ca
pacity of handling 60 tons OF pea
nuts per day and sufficient storage
space has been provided to double
this capacity if the crop is big
enough to warrant. The plant Will
employ from 40 to 60 operatives
and considering that the cotton
situation has caused considerable
gloom in lower South Carolina the
peanut plant will take care OF the
biggest crop in peanuts yet. with
local market at the farmers doors.
The owners Of this industry have
several large plants in Suffolk, Va,
and Pennsylvania, but made very
careful survey of this state and
Georgia, regarding the crop condi-
tions, and in relation to the indus
try found after careful study that
Denmark was the logical peanut
center and located the plant here
In addition to handling all the pea
nuts in this territory, the plant will
handle peanuts shipped in from
Georgia. North Carolina and South
Carolina points.
The plant is equipped with cleo
trio drive throughout, having to-
tai of 100 horse power, and a novel
feature is an arrangement with the
Edisto Public Service, the local
power company, to furnish the en-
tire power for the operation Of the
plant for the peanut hulls, as the
hulls will be used for fuel in oper-
ating the power company's steam

Carolina
Republicans
Trying to Get a Cleaned Up
Organization That VIII Ap-
peal to Best Citizenship

Columbia, Oct. 10.-C. c. Camp
bell, Of Columbia; D. O. Anderson,
of Marion; DR.. Williams, of Rock
Hill: J. w. Tolbert, of Greenwood,
South Carolina Republican leaders,
are returning to the state this week
from Washington, where they con-
ferred last week with national Re-
publican leaders regarding the re-
organization Of the G. O. P. in
South Carolina, and it is expected
that definite announcements will be
made at an early date regarding de-
velopments in the situation.
The conference in Washington
the past week was held with Chair
man Adams, Secretary Miller and
other officers Of the national Re-
publican committee.
It is stated that the Republican
party in South Carolina will even,
taally be reorganized, on a basis
that will appeal to the best citizen
ship. The first step, it is said, will
be an effort to have Joseph w.
Tolbert resign as national commit
teeman for this state. 1t is stated
that if this plan goes through the
new chairman will be a prominent
South Carolinian, whose name has
never before been mentioned IN
connection with Republican politics
or patronage in South Carolina.
It is stated that the leaders IN
the new Republican party plans for
South Carolina do not intend to hu-
initiate Mr.. Tolbert nor to oust him
from the party leadership, but that
the plan is to allow him to resign,
in order that the leadership Of the
party might be reorganiZed on a
broader basis.
1. is known that in recent months
large number Of Republican clubs
have been formed locally, in many
sections of the state, and that these
embrace many of the leading citi-
zens in various communities. 1t is
stated that these citizens are ready
to unite with a cleaned-up and
rightly organized Republican party
ir the state. It is probable that
further conferences will be held in
the near future, and that the G. O..
P. plans for the state will be got
ten into shape at some future date,
though the leaders are quoted as
saying they do not expect the state
to be lined up in the Republican
ranks over night.

columbia State).

(COlOmD1a Slale).
In the primaries next year the
women of South Carolina will vote
for the first time in considerable
numbers and they will express
themselves in respect of the prob
lens directly affecting their, lives.
While no one Will say that the laws
in this state have Disseminated
against women or that their posi-
ton as members Of the state has
been neglected, they will use the
ballot in some directions to effect
Improvement in spheres that es-
peciallv interest them. Heretofore
women have enjoyed certain priv
ilegeS and immunitieS that men are
without and there was no over
whelming or noisy demand by wo-
men in this state for the voting
privilege but, in future. they Will
have the ballot and they will not
escape the responsibility that it
carries. They can employ it, as
they will, to their advantage and
that advantage will be to the whole
commonwealth.
Two or three years before the
adoption OF the suffrage amend
ment, former Congressman Lever
delivered an address at Winthrop
college picturing the hardships and
obstacles which the women in
South Carolina, especially the rural
women. have to endure and over
come and pointing to ways OF as
sisting them. That was an unusual
utterance. and perhaps the first of
the kind that had been heard in
South Carolina 1t would be we'll
if it could be circulated in pam

Women Should
Register
It is the Duty of Every Wo-
man to Exercise the Right
of Suffrage

Although the time when women
may express their wishes and de-
mands by means of the ballot, IS
some months hence, the following
editorial from the State Of October
9Th contains such a timely sug-
gestion to the women that it seems
worthy a place in our publicity
column. Even intelligent, educat-
ed women know 80 little Of the
laws that affect themselves, their
homes and their children, that
they do not realize what a power
their new privilege Of suffrage
might be to them. The dissent,
nation of just this knowledge is
what the League of Women Voters
is trying 10 do at present. Many
women who are not interested In
the league, do not understand its
aims and purposes. It's object is
entirely serious, an humble seek
ing after knowledge. Unless Wo-
men will frankly admit their lg-
norance of these matters and at
tenC the meetings VI tHc i01SuC
they will not only weaken their in
f1uence politically but will actual
ly be shirking a duty. The State
League of Women Voters has
state chairman Of research, whose
duties are to tabulate the state
laws affecting women and children.
1t is the design Of the local league
to study these laws by means OF
lectures and the women Of Sumter
who fail to avail themselves OF
this instruction are missing an op-
portunity for service, as the State
says ''to the whole common
wealth. Will you not come to
the meeting Tuesday afternoon,
October 1lth, in the basement OF
the Carnegie Library at o'clock
and hear what Mr.. c. ]. Jackson

Cannot Attend
Veteran Editor of War Time
Newspaper Unable to Meet
With Comrades

Chattanooga, Oct Col. Henry
Watterson, veteran Journalist, who,
during the Confederate var was
publisher of the Chattanooga Reb-
ell. has written a characteristic let
ter to the committee in charge OF
the reunion of the United Confed-
crate Veterans to be held here in
which he expressed regret at not
being able to attend.
The letter, written from New
York city and addressed to the
chairman of the committee, fol-
lows:
II wish it were possible for me to
attend the coming Confederate re-
union. 1t is not possible, go you
must take the will for the deed.
Chattanooga possesses m y
claims upon my affections. 1t was
there that I found my dear wife,
who, after 50 years Of devotion, still
abides and between whom and my
self the relations then established
remain unbroken and unchanged.
She joins me in the regret that we
can not together revisit the scenes
Of our early lovemakins. But at
four score and upward functions Of
every sort are beyond me.
Perhaps it is we'll that may not
again look upon the thin gray line
soon to disappear forever from the
scenes of this world, for it might
put too great a strain upon an old
mans tenderest sensibilities.
My love to the old boys. 1t can
not be long when we shall meet on
that beautiful shore, and when We
meet, be sure the Bonny Blue Flag
will be flying at the fore, and the
bands will be playing Dixie on
parade, whilst the pretty girls will
be distributing the Chattanooga
Rebel to groups Of ragged red-nos-
ed angels who have not forgotten
the Rebel yell

Railroad Strike
Not Probable
President Lee Of Brotherhood
of Trainmen Takes Conser-
vative View of Situation

Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. S.-Preeic-
ton that there will be no general
strike on the part Of the railroad
TRANSPORTATION brotherhooGs was
made today by William G. Lee,
president of the Brotherhood OF
Railroad Trainmen.
Asked whether he admitted the
possibility of strike on any one
railroad, Lee replied that it was
possible but he did not admit its
probability.
Mr.. Lee returned yesterday from
Chicago. having supervised the can
vass Of the strike vote Of more than
100000 members of his organiza-
ton, taken in protest against the
IL per cent wage reduction order
ed by the United States railroad
labor board effective July l.
Mr.. Lee declined to be party to
the Joint strike ballot o. the other
brotherhoods sent out early in
September, claiming nothing could
legally be included in such bal
lot according to the Esch-
naings law except the wage reduc-
ton of July /, since the labor board
had not made a decision on other
subjects mentioned in the joint
ballot. Mr.. Lee prepared and sub
mitted a separate ballot for the
train and yardmen. The vote re-
turned, he said, was in excess Of SO
per cent. in favor of strike, with
the following provision:
I'VE further request that our
membership on this railroad be
authorized 70 withdraw from SER
vice on the same day and hour
that the membership of either the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engi-
neers, Order of Railway Conduc-
tors, or Brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Firemen and Enginemen Of
this road is authorized to stop
work, as a result Of the vote taken
by such organizations in connec-
ton with the wage reduction Of
July l."
The next move is up to the 9TH
er organizations, Mr.. Lee declared.
