MONDAY. MAY 18.
S. E. CONVENTION
ON WEDNESDAY
Palmetto State Democrats
Meet to Change Rules to Elim
inate Fraud.
*
Columbia, 8. C. —When the biennial
convention of the Democratic party
will meet in Columbia at noon on May
20th, practically the only issue before
it will be the question of changing the
rules governing the party’s primary
elections with a view to eliminating
possibilities of fraud and irregulari
ties.
Of the 336 delegates to the state
Democratic convention, 168, it is cal
culated, come with concise instruc
tions from their county conventions
to vote for changes in the rules look
in" to reform of the primary elections.
One hundred and twenty-four of the
delegates are uninstructed, while
twenty-four are instructed against
“restriction of the primary.”
Contests.
Charleston county is sending con
testing delegations to the state con
vention, one headed by Mayor Grace
and the other by Joseph W. Barn
well. The Barnwell delegation is
instructed to vote for changes in the
rules which will reform the primary
elections.
It is generally agreed that the con
vention will amend the party rules in
regard to the manner in which pri
mary elections are conducted and the
qualifications for voting in them.
One delegation to the convention
has instructions to work for placing
the same requirements for voting in
primary elections as in general elec
tions.
Another section coming to the state
convention will make a fight to re
quire a duplicate re-enrollment of
Democrats and the presentation of a
certificate of enrollment.
A third faction on the convention
will oppose all changes in the rules
governing the primary.
The Candidates.
The election of a state chairman is
also expected to be of some interest.
John Gary Evans of Spartanburg, the
incumbent, is a candidate for re-elec
tion. He is opposed by N. B. Dial,
of Laurens and W. F. Stevenson, of
Cheraw.
After the convention the state exec
utive committee will meet to lay plans
for the primary campaign for state of
fices, congress and the United States
senate. For the latter office Gover
nor Blease will oppose Senator E. D.
Smith for re-election.
EUGENIC MARRIAGES
Will insure to this country a healthier
and more intelligent “family of the
future,” and many a -woman, obvious
ly unfit for marriage, has had her
health restored by the timely use of
Lydia E, Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound, the »most successful remedy for
female ills the world has ever known.
Enormous quantities of roots and
herbs are used annually in making
this good old-fashioned remedy, and
no woman who suffers from female
Ills should lose hope until she has
tried it.
CHAUTAUQUA GONE AFTER
SHOWING TO THOUSANDS
Program Given This Year Was
Highly Enjoyed. Looking For
ward to Return Next Year.
After having pleased thousands of
Augusta people with their entertain
ment for the past seven days the Red
path Chautauqua took down their tent
yesterday late and last night pulled
out of the city for Montgomery, Ala.,
where they will begin to show to
morrow.
The Academy campus was left in
good condition, the stakes around the
tent not having damaged the grounds
a particle. It is the expressed hope of
the local authorities interested in
bringing the Chautauqua to Augusta
that the same location can be secured
for the Chautauqua next spring.
The program given here this year
was highly enjoyed and the average
attendance was much larger than last
year, the firs' time the Chautauqua
came to this city.

of the city will be held this evening

importance to all grocers will be dis
cussed.

THIS LETTER
Writes Lady Who Can Now
Walk Four Miles a Day
Without Feeling
Tired.
Boydton. Va.—Mrs. Fannie Boyd, of
this town, says: "I am sure I would
have been in my grave, had it not been
for Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I
certainly cannot praise it enough, for
it is worth its weight in gold. I am,
today, a walking advertisement for
Cardui.
Before taking Cardui, I could
hardly walk across the floor, I was
so weak. I underwent an operation
last spring for womanly trouble, but
felt no better.
After using 8 bottle of Cardui, the
woman’s tonic, my ulcers were all
gone, I can eat hearty without suf
fering any pain, feel fine in every way,
work all day, and can walk four miles
a day without feeling tired.
Please publish this letter, as I would
like for every woman to know what
Cardui did for me.”
Many letters, similar to the above,
come to us, unsolicited, every day.
This one should surely convince you
of the merit of Cardui, as it expresses
the earnest sentiment of a lady who
has tried it.
If you suffer from any of the nu
merous ailments so common to wom
en, such as headache, backache, nerv
ousness, weakness, pains in sides and
limbs, sleeplessness, etc., begin tak
ing Cardui today. It will help you,
as it has helped so many others, in
the past half century.
The SIOO Honeymoon
Idea Is Growing
Atlanta, Ga.—Relieving that Cupid
has been crippled by the high cost
of living and the extravagant ideas of
the young people of the present, the
Salvation Army has issued a declara
tion that the average young man of
today can get married and have a
honeymoon on SIOO, provided he will
go about it right.
The SIOO honeymoon idea hag arous
ed a great amount of interest and
discussion, some people believing that
it is good advice, and others question
ing whether it is or not.
Here is the way the Salvation Army
dopes out the program of the youth
who has saved up SIOO and wants to
get married on it:
Marriage license $ 1.00
Fee to the minister 5.00
Furnishing a flat 55.00
Rent for month 23.00
Honeymoon trip 10.00
Incidentals 6.00
"Don’t let your whole SIOO go for
the honeymoon trip alone,” warns the
Salvation Army. Don’t forget to get
that first month’s rent off your mind
before you start on the little trip.
Don’t come back and be nagged for
bills in the presence of your bride.
"Young people spend entirely too
much money on the frills of this
honeymoon business. We are always
advising young people who come to
us to be married to be careful and
get the saving habit.”

SONG WRITER
Henry Carey Wrote Music of
“God Save the King” and
“America.”
One hundred and seventy-one years
ago in the City of London a composer
died, who during his lifetime wrote
two songs. One of these songs lias
made every loyal British subject stand
upon his feet every time it is sung.
This man was of noble birth, for he
was the son of the Marquis of Hali
fax. but he has always been known to
the citizens of the English Empire as
Henry Carey. The melody of "God
Save the King” (for that was one of
f'arey’s songs) was taken by Oliver
Wendell Holmes’s classmate, Samuel
Francis Smith, as the Ideal music for
Ms "M.v Country, ’Tis of Thee.”
Henry Carey died without knowing
that the American Colonies ever
dreamed of being independent. Rut in
spiritland his soul must be happy, as
It goes marching on, to know that his
music is used for the national hymn
of the two great Anglo-Saxon nations
The other Carey song, "Sally In Our
Alley,” Is known as the coloratura
soprano's delight. Every grand opera
soprano who 1* invited to sing In Eng
lish tries her voice on "Rally,” nnd ev
ery village belle who sings Ui the town
hall at the big doings also pays her
respects to "Sally.” All of Henry Ca
rey's songs are In Tho Herald's col
lection of "Songs That Never Grow
Old,” Read the display announce
