EIGHT REELS UNTIL 6 P. M. The King's Daughters and Sons Convention Last Night’s Session. The eighteen Hi annual convention of the King’s Daughters and Sons of Georgia opened most auspiciously last night at the First Baptist Church, the formal session being preceded by a meeting of the executive board yes terday on their arrival in Augusta, and if one may judge by the large at tendance and the enthusiasm mani fested in the program of the even ing. it will be one of the most suc cessful of any yet held in Georgia. Everything had been made beauti ful to welcome the delegates and the church with its magnificently spac ious proportions was very beautiful in its decorations. The rolay purple of the order was used with artistic effect, the entire church being deli cately wreathed in bamboo in which were garlands of morning glories in varying tones of purple over nine thousand blossoms being used. The pulpit and choir gallery were with slender palms in white and purple draped jardinieres and suspended di rectly above the pulpit was the en signia of the order, the Maltese cross, which glowed in tiny electric lights while the “I. H. S.” was done in pur ple morning lories. Seated on the platform were Mrs. Kate Hall, state president; Miss Georgia Libbey, of New York, of the Central Council; Mrs. C. A. Howland, Miss Mary R. Campbell, Mayor Hayne, Rev. Howard T. Cree, Rev. R. E. L. Harris, Rev. S. P. Wiggins. The meeting was presided over by Miss Hall and after an organ volun tary and hymn -here was a devotional service led by Miss Campbell, fol lowed by a solo by Mrs. E. C. Good rich after which Miss Hall in a few well chosen words summed up the purpose of the King's Daughters and Sons' convention, when she said "To improve our ideas and to renew our ideals," after which Miss Tall announc ed the convention open and received from Mrs. W. E. Reeves, the official program which had been prepared for the convention. This was accepted and the convention proceeded with an address of welcome by Dr. Jones, brief and cordially worded, which was followed by a few words lrom Mayor Hayne, who welcomed the convention in the name of the city, after which Mrs. Leroy Hankinson, in her very gracious and charming manner, gave a welcome from the Augusta King's Daughters and Sons, which was re sponded to very beautifully by Mrs. H. Wiley Johnson, of Savannah. Mr. Harris on the Moral Law, Mr. Cree on the “Civil Law,” and Mr. Wiggins on the "Spiritual Law,” gave brief little six-minutes sermonettes, the three briefly and concisely summing up ones duty morally, civilly and spiritually. Miss Libbey was then introduced as “The Little Mother of the Augusta Circle,” and spoke bea tifullly to her “children,” evidencing the fact very strongly that although she had not been here very frequently she appreciated the worth of the beautiful complimnt paid her in the calling her "Little Mother,” and ask ing that most pertinent of all quer tions, the one every mother asks ot the child whom she has been sepa rated from for a time. “It is well with my child?” Miss Libbey very aptly spoke of an experience of her's while In Florida during one of the big freezes when the orange trees were all blighted and frozen, a conversa tion she heard between two women who traveled far to see the beautiful orange groves in blossoms or fruit age and of the disappointment expe rienced when the condition of things there were found out, aptly illus trating this fact with the disappoint ment experienced by many who are in hopes of finding beauty and cheer and loving kindness from so many people who on whom the blight of things has fallen and embittered, i made selfish and unresponsive. Miss [ Libbey is one of the ten original members of the Central Council, which was formed many years ago. ; Miss Libbey and one other being the ' only surviving members. After the exercises In the church I the audience adjourned to the recep ; tion room, the Sunday school room, and an informal social session was i enjoyed. Here as in the church the decorations were in purple tones with I morning glories and fragrant sweet peas, especially beautiful being the ; table which was covered with satin damask overlaid with lace through j the meshes of which could be seen | the purple of the order. In the cen ; ter was an immense pyramid of sweet : peas in lavender and purple tones topped by airy bows of purple tulle. Silver baskets adorned with purple tulle bows held dainty castes decorat ed in sweet peas and smaller silver baskets were filled with purple bon bons. Ip the most minute detail were the purple and silver tones car ried out. Candles shaded in silver shone over the beautiful tall decor ations which were further enhanced by morning glory vases filled with sweet peas which radiated from the central pyramid forming the cross of | the order Over all this was a deli cate canopy of moss, a silver gray ! fringe suspended from the corners of the room, forming again the cross, amid which shone tiny lights encased In morning glories that glowed like mammoth amathysts. On the ele vated rostrum was a giant umbrella wreathed In purple morning glories through which the lights gleamed and shone. An Informal reception followed, delicious nectar was serv ed Hnd the delegates and hoste-ses made the acquaintance of each other, many renewing old friendships that w'ere most pleasant. A lovely round table luncheon was served the delegate* and their hostesses ;ifter the morning session, the state <>f flcevs being seated on the rostrum un der the vine wreathed umbrcl'a.

Indeed this home is considered one of the fostered by the state convention of the King's Daughters.

C. —At 12:30 this morn ing. after a day marked by numerous short recesses, tlie South Carolina Dem ocratic convention adjourned until 10 o’clock, when a report from the com mittee appointed to draft a plan of pri mary reform is to be presented. The committee, which Ims been working all the evening, found itself unable to com plete its draft in time for presentation during the night. At the night session the convention adopted a platform re affirming loyalty to the Woodrow Wil son administration. The convention occupied nearly all of day in organizing. James A. Hoyt of Columbia was elected permanent chair man. The Barnwell delegation from Charleston —that was headed by Jos. W. Barnwell and contested by a delegation led by Mayor Grace of that city—was seated by the credentials committee after a long inquiry. The Barnwell delegation s instructed to favor primary reform. Endorse Administration. At midnight, the convention, after having indorsed in its platform the ad ministration’s stand on the canal tolls exemption, the Mexican problem, the tariff and regional reserve bank system, adjourned until 12:30 a. in., to await the report of the committee which had been instructed to prepare a plan of primary reform which would obviate fraud and irregularities. , The platform adopted declares that South Carolina Democrats reaffirm aheif allegiance to the principles of Demo cracy as laid down "by those great Democrats, Thomas Jefferson, Woodrow Wilson and William Jennings Bryan.” Corruption Charged. The primary fight In the convention is the outwrogth of frequent charges of corruption, reaching their height in the heated controversy after the last state Democratic primary in 1912. The op ponents of Governor lllease, alleged than tluve had been duplicate enroll ments and that these mn who were en rolld on inure than one club list had voted moVe than once and that there had been numerous instances of Importation of men from Georgia and North Carolina to vote In the primary. The governor and Ills friends denied that they had been guilty of frauds and maintained that if there had been any tlie anti-Blease forces had been guilty of them. Blease Denial. After an Investigation, in which the committee reported, finding irregulari ties and loseness but not HUffcient proof id' fraud to invalidate the election, the state Democratic executive committee declared Governor lllease the nominee of th party. Sine then there has been Increased agitation for regulations to prevent fraud. The regulations for the Democratic primary, which in South Carolina Is equivalent to an election, provide that "only white Democratic voters who have been residents of the state twelve months, and the county sixty days be fore the next general election and such negroes as voted the Democratic ticket in 187«" shall ho allowed to vot. In ad dition each man who Is to vote must have his name put on the club roll at least five days before the primary, ex cept in Charleston, where the rule re quires that names be enrolled sixty days before the primary.
