Blease was at a meet- ing in Columbia Tuesday after- noon declared the nominee for governor by the Democratic state committee and B. R.. Till- man declared the nominee for United States senator. A second primary to decide between Lyon and Peeples for attorney general was ordered for October 15. Senator Tillman attended the session of the committee. The sub-committee investigat- ing the alleged frauds and irreg- ularities of the primary made their report this afternoon to to the full state committee, rec- ommending that the state con- vention of the party be called in August of next year to make a new constitution and rules for primary elections and safe- guard the primary. The com- mittee also recommended legis- lative action along the same line and seyere punishment for any one violating the election laws of the primary. They also recommended vigorous prosecu- tion for violators of the election laws. The report showed that not enough votes had been brought into question to effect the result and recommended that the in- vestigation be dropped. There- port goes into detail and presents many charges of irregularities, 10 such as repeating, voting of minors, non-residents, aliens and in some cases negroes. The matter of calling a state convention next year to amend the rules of the party was dis- pusse.d 4t length, but was not pdopted. A motion to request the general assembly t~o pass laws restricting the right to vote nn. the primary to qualified elect- ors was voted down. A sub committee to suggest t h e changes in the constitution and rules and to report to full state committep before January 1, 1914. was appointed and perfect harmony prevailed today.

Barker, of Calhoun, Is e first man in this state to ter the general election as a andidate against a successful canidate in the prim arv elec- tions. He is trying to get the v-oters to send him to Congress instead of Hon. Wyatt Aiken. "Mr. Barker has had his an- nouncement placed in several papers in the 3rd district and is now canvassing the territory from which he expects to draw votes. Mr. Barker was former- ly postmaster at Calhoun and is well known in Pickens county. His anuouncement. made in Seneca last Thursday, caused munch surprise''. The Third Term candidate's favor- Ite reply to the telling, unanswerable arguments of Gor. Wilson is that the' latter's opinions are based "not on ac- tual knowledge and experience but by reading musty books on political economy." The Colonel himself at a tender age was put at hard labor!

The readers of The Sentinel should read carefully the article published in last week's issue on The School Tax Problem, by "Fair Play," and the one this week by "Fair Play No. 2." The school question is one of general interest and concerns us all. We are in favor of comn pulsors education. We believe it is the only way to lead us out of the wilderness of illiteracy into the tields of intelligence, or education. The old argument against compulsory education, that then the negro would get the advant- age of the white people is with- out foundation, for the negroes go now all they can, without being compelled by law. There is no sense nor justice in giving to our State schools large appropriations and letting our public schools be stinted. Let our readers discuss the question fairly and kindly and see if we can't have bettet equiped schools in the country MR. JERRY M. CLEMENT DEAD The Popular Miller Passed Away at His Home, Wednesday, TI September 25. ov Pt Mr. Jerry M. Clement, one ler of the oldest and best known l citizens of Pickens county, died at his home near Pickens last to Wednesday, September 25th, sc from a complication of diseases. He was buried the day after his hal death near his home. For many years he operated s his mill on Town creek, and I was also a mechanic of rare th( ability, taking much pride in th his work. He was known the county over as a good, honest of citizen and was liked by all who de] knew him. Of his immediateh( family he is survived by a wife, t two sons and three daughters. Several years ago Mr. Clem- n ent made his own coffin in coi which he was buried, and he left a letter with full instruc- th tions as how he wished his a si funeral conducted and how he oul wished to be buried. These in- vi structions were carried out. for The sympathy of the commu- the nity is extended to the family in their sorrow. pa ent sch From Marrietta Route No. 2. disl rear Mr. Editor: As it has but been a long, long time since I w gave the "Dear Sentinel" a call, me I will ask for room for my little chair in this corner.

The readers of The Sentinelshould read carefully the articlepublished in last week's issueon The School Tax Problem, by"Fair Play," and the one thisweek by "Fair Play No. 2."The school question is one ofgeneral interest and concerns usall. We are in favor of comnpulsors education. We believeit is the only way to lead us outof the wilderness of illiteracyinto the tields of intelligence, oreducation.The old argument against

compulsory education, that thenthe negro would get the advant-age of the white people is with-out foundation, for the negroesgo now all they can, withoutbeing compelled by law.There is no sense nor justice

in giving to our State schoolslarge appropriations and lettingour public schools be stinted.Let our readers discuss the

question fairly and kindly andsee if we can't have bettetequiped schools in the country
