The Farmer and the Radio
phone.

"Rill Jones'" living out in the hills
away from telephones and telegraph,
may, at the cost of a few dollars, Sc
cure a radiophone set and collect
from the air various messages sent
out in ether waves by broadcasting
stations. He may sit in his kitchen, or
other room in which he may have in
stalled his apparatus, and secure the
correct time as broadcasted from
Washington. He can secure daily
market reports, storm warnings,
weather reports and other informa-
ton without waiting for the rural
mail carrier to come aorund the next
day with the papers. In the evening
he and his family can cut in on the
news reports and learn all about the
fday's happenings as quickly as it is
received at the newspaper Offices.
Then, if feeling in the mood for en-
tertainment, the wave length can be
changed and connection be made
with some musical concert, grand op-
era or lecture.
The radiophone is bound to find
favor on the farm. At the present
it is in an undeveloped stage. Like
the phonograph a few years ago, it
is not always satisfactory. This is
particularly true of homemade or the
cheaper sets, although many of these
give excellent service. But, it may
not be many months until the human
voice will reach us over hundreds of
miles in almost exact reproduction,
where, at this time, while words are
distinct, the tone is mechanical.
With a further development of the
radiophone, inhabitants of rural dis
tricts will have one more convenience
which will go far towards making
farm life more attractive. From a
practical standpoint, it will place the
farmer and his family into immediate
touch with the outside world, and
provide them with the opportunity
of closer relationship with those in
terests so important to the producer.
The radiophone will help make a bus
mess man out of the farmer. They
will be as common as monographs in
rural homes at day not far dis
tant.-Farm and Ranch.

vigorous churning, but have not
made any butter" When the platform
had been discussed indefinitely with
out coming to any conclusion, and it
had been moved that it be laid on the
table, one of the women arose and
urged most vigorously that the plat
form be adopted no matter how long
or tedious the effort!
Mother Protests.
One of the most significant incl
dents was the one when, during the
debate between Governor Cooper and
Mr.. Ellerbe, when the latter was urg-
ing the passage of the veterans COM
pensation act and had become rath-
er personal, a woman from the rear
arose and in a most modest and low
able manner said: GAS the mother

of soldier and one who loves my
country, I appeal to the young man
that he should not be iiscourteous
to the chief executive of his soyer-
eign state" 1t had very wholesome
effect.
One delegate said he had never
seen so much disorder in conven-
tion in 20 years. He didn't intimate
that it was the presence of the wo-
men, and the women did not create
any disorder, but their presence evil
dently made difference. Another
one said, "Ehe women have complete
ly demoralized the convention by
their presence"
But they will get used to it.

The Value of Culture.

Only fools despise culture.
Only boobs fail to appreciate the
value of refinement.
The great trouble with thousands
of people is the deplorable fact that
they make no effort to be cultured
and refined.
The value of refined environment
may not be estimated. 1t has been
said that ga man may be judged by
the company he keeps"
No person may expect to become
cultured and refined who prefers the
companionship of the boorish and
the vulgar.
One who spends his leisure time in
reading trashy novels may not expect
to become educated.
One of the problems of the gener-
alton is the failure of so many young
people to seek the things which are
really noble and worth while.
It is true that we cannot all reach
the highest peaks. But we can all as
pire.
Thomas Carlyle, in his magnificent
phrase tells US that "only the Shakes
peares and the Millions are permitted
to roll through the country of
thought, bearing fleets of trafickers,
and assiduous pearl fishers on their
waves"
We cannot all be Shakespeares and
Millions, but we can all sit at the
feet of the great masters and learn
the lessons which are incompatible
and full of glory.
He who does not seek to become
acquainted with the priceless glories
OF Art, of Literature, and Music, has
no conception of the opportunities of
Life.
Without culture the world would
be miserable place.
The cultured men and women pre-
serve the civilization of the wrold.-

New Governors First Official
Act.

Columbia, May 25.-Governor
Harvey performed his first official act
today when he signed notary pub
lie commission for lady, Miss NJ.
d. Reid of Spartanburg.
The governor was asked by news
paper men if ne had leaning for the
ladies, and he replied that the signing
of woman's commission as the first
in batch of notary public commits
sions was as a sort of tribute to the
new feminine voters of the state and
to the ladies generally. "But nobody
can accuse me of doing this to cater
to the feminine vote for am not go
ing to offer for reelection" the gov
ernor laughingly added.

Home conveniences.

This is an age Of inventions, and
hence. conveniences. Man has invent
ed nearly everything conceivable for
his convenience and great many
people are taking advantage of these
things that make work easy, but a
great many have not done SO for va
rious reasons, few because they are
not able financially to do so, and
many because they really do not
know how much the work is lighten-
ed by the use of them.
To have modern conveniences in
the home means that the housewife
can do her work without being worn
completely out when night comes. At
first thought many will say that these
home conveniences are for the city
people, but when one sits down and
figures out that it is not such very
expensive luxury after all, l believe
more people will install the various
labor saving conveniences in the
farm home. Too many people have al
ready moved to town to get these
conveniences of life, not realizing
that they can be had on the farm. The
time has come when the farm has TO
be made place to live rather than
to exist in order to keep the right
sort of people on the farm.
On the average large farm the
man has modern machinery with
which to do his work but forgets that
his wife's work can be done by mod
ern machinery also, and they cost
less than his machines. Many men are
liable to call some of the modern
household conveniences "fandangles"
and say they have always gotten
along without them. So they have and
so did men get along without mow-
ing machines, binders, etc., for long
time, but will he go back to these
crude ways of doing things? No.
Then why not let the wife use ma
chinery which will reduce her work
in proportion; running water in the
home, power washing machines, elec-
trio irons, etc? Everyone cannot have
the electric iron, washer, etc., but
nearly all can have running water in
the home and a sewage disposal sys-
tenn. There is no one thing that causes
more drudgery for the housewife than
carrying water into and slop out of
the house.
The wife is entitled to these things
and I can not help but believe that
it is the mans duty to see that she
has them. Her work on the farm is
hard enough at easiest. Sit down and
figure little and see if you cannot
afford to make your wife happier by
making her work easier. Putting run
ming water in the house is good
place to start.-Farm and Ranch.

man on the floor of the state Demo-
cratic convention was offered by Miss
Kate Wofford of Laurens, who nomi-
mated Miss Viii Lou Gray as presi-
dent pro tenn of the convention. This
motion received a second and would
have been passed but Miss Gray de-
clined to serve. She said that at these
matters she was novice and her
nomination being unexpected, she
felt that if as woman she exercised
this privilege for the first time, it
should be we'll done. Her delegation
and others insisted that she could,
but she still felt it best not to serve.
Miss Kate Wofford, who nominated
Miss Gray, is the candidate for super
intendent of education of Laurens
county, and we are told is almost GER
tain of election.

and Edgar A. Brown of Barnwell. 1t

to the scene as she more cordially
and enthusiastically than either Of
the other two, accompanied Senator
Watkins to the chair.

this position from the Third district,

At the hour of $3.50, just before
adjournment Thursday morning, Mrs.
Richard 1. Manning sent in her res
ignation as Democratic. committee
woman from South Carolina to the
national convention and Mrs. Leroy
Springs of Lancaster was elected to
this position. AS soon as the election
was announced, there was most vo-
ciferous applause and calls of
speech, speech" Think of it! At
8 80 in the morning, and after some
urging, Mrs. Springs arose, and said
that no one at this hour of the morn
ing wished to hear speech from any
one and thanked the convention in an
exceedingly gracious and graceful
manner for this honor, assuring them
that she would do her best to repre-
sent South Carolina with credit.
With Eyes Open.
It was once said that if women
ever secured the ballot they would
be sure to vote for the best looking
man. But the tables will be turned,
and unless the women vote in large
enough numbers to out vote the
men, the latter will be certain to put
all the best looking aspirants in Of
fee. In this case, the women had al
ready decided that Mrs. Springs was
most admirably qualified in every
other respect as well, for the position
which she is to occupy.
Several quaint and amusing things
were said by women and were good
things. All they said was of an up
lifting nature, and the convention
was like large family.
One graceful little woman arose
after hours had been spent in need
less debate and said, "Fellow citi-
