K, Bryan and Senators Walsh of Massachusetts, and Reed of Missouri. Their first effort. Senator Walsh al said, is to be made in the resolutions, at committee by offering substitutes for ca the administration plank. na If defeated in the resolutions com- co mittee Senator Walsh said it was ro | planned to present a minority re- th I port to the convention. The major te j concern, the Masachusetts senator j cli I added, is to prevent commitment of! ve i the party to unreserved ratification: sa ! of the present league covenant. ! "We discussed several platform! be planks, principally the treaty and the i tu ! league," said Senator Walsh. j nc j "For the administration treaty'fe piank it is pretty generally agreed j qi i that we shail offer several substitutes j de ? possibly three or four. They have : al not been drafted, but our general! al ; purpose ?s to oppose committing the ' cc party to unreserved ratification of; at the present covenant." | br If the subplanks should be reject-1 m ed. Senator Walsh said, the" next' be move would be for presentation of th : the issue to the convention itself. j to ? i itVi i Senator Keed declined 10 cnseuss ? : the conference, , (A !

Epting had been m married in Columbia on Sunday aft- fr ernoon at 3 o'clock by the Rev. Mr. T] 1 Lightfoot, at the parsonage of the q* Second Baptist church. The bride is H the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. I*. tii Watkins of Chappells, and is a pretty pa and sweet young girl, while every-, body knows that the bridegroom is an industrious youn^: citizen of Newberry who is always active and energetic, now being connected as salesman with the Newberry Hardware j company, and one who believes in th j working and sticking to business. ca The marriage was the culmination ^ of a beautiful little romance. Carl ?l found that he, had to do some 7? * A - - ?' -- nnrlorf alf. ? scnenung to succccu m mo , ing to get his^jweetheart away from home without arousing the suspicion .. of her parents. The young lady was a willing helper. Accordingly she . went to Charleston, ostensibly to visit relatives in that city; but she and Carl knew the trail. They were to meet in Columbia. Hence when . she went from the City by the Sea to * the Capital City, Carl left Newberry ? Saturday night with his best friend, 7, Humbert M. Aull, on the Cannon Ball. -The result has been told.

For instance with platform adopted] ifore the ticket is named, the for-j ,nes of certain possibilities for the j miination may be seriously afcted. That is so obvious that it re-? iires no explanation. Again, much| ;pends upon the headway which the j ways turbulent Mr. Bryan may be j )le to tatfe with his schemes to wrest J >ntrol of the convention from the j immigration leaders.

LEARNING THINGS USEFUL WINTHROP SHORT COURSE While the girls from the various canning and poultry clubs were at-' ;ending the demonstration short; course at Winthrop college, from! June 3 to 12 they were asked to I vrite a letter home telling of their | ;vork. Below is a copy of the best! letter written "by the girls fromj S'ewberry county. This decision was( nade by a committee at Winthrop. j Dear Home Folk: ?_ j. ! I know you all want to know wnai i [ have learned up here whiie attend-j ing the state short course. After a pleasant trip we were set-, tied in our room in the college. Then! we were called together and the j rales were read out and we have been i keeping them the best we could. Then began our daily work which I shall describe. Every morning immediately after breakfast we went to the - gymnasium for recreation.! Miss Edna Syda was our teacher andi she >ras taught us club songs, club! r>r#>prls. club veils, dancing and music. I We went to class every day andi learned how to grow, save and sell I food products; points on good dress-j ing, and a number of other things, j The lesson on table service by Missj Lola Snider was very good. Misses: Smith and Counts dyed some old ( clothes and made them look like new ones; also the hats renovated by Misses Bell and Shelby. Mother Walker canned in the steam__ pressure. Every day from 12 to 1 we had chapel at which time men and women' from different places spoke. On June 4 we had a moving picture show "Pollyanna." On June 5 we had -a campus party which was enjoyed by all. A trip around Winthrop was planned for June 5 but as we started a shower of rain came, so we did not go. On June 7_a trip to the poultry farm was very* interesting. Here we learned all about raiser* ar>/1 Tio+nViincr On .Tiinp 8 11 UiiU 141* -W ? w ?? ? ? we went- to the dairy farm. We went through the house where the churning and butter making is done. On June 10 we visited the practice borne. If any one wants_& comfortable home they should go there knd see how to -furnish it. Last-night,Tune 11, there was a moving picture, "Winthrop Day By Day." Afterwards a reception took place in the parlors and halls on Main building, fee cream and crackers Were served, ronight will be field day and swim-' ming. . v, I hope all of the girls in the state will come here in the next few years.

We have: only a partial list of those that will pay the semi-annual dividend on July 1. The Newberry Cotton mill will pay a semi-annual dividend of 5 per cent, and a special dividend of 10 per cent, on its capital of $600,000. The Mollohon Manufacturing company will pay a regular dividend of 5 per cent, and a special dividend of 10 per cent, on the capital of $500,000. / The Oakland mill will pay a semiannual dividend of 4 per cent, and a special dividend of 10 per cent, on its capital of $400,000. The Commercial bank will pay the usual dividend of 6 per cent, and a special dividend of 2 per cent, on the capital of $50,000. The Exchange bank will hold a meeting this week to declare the dividend. The National bank will not hold a meeting until the 30th, but last year this bank declared a regular dividend of 5 per cent, and a special dividend of 2 per cent, and :t will probably do the same thing this year sn its capital of $100,000.

National Committeemen Love of Texas, regarded as McAdoo's spokesman, without giving specifications publicly states he has assurances that Mr. McAdoo would accept if nominated. , He declined to amplify his statement. Will Accept Says Love. "The question is frequently asked whether in view of Mr. McAdoo's sincere desire that his name not be presented to the convention, he would * -i.! i?

Turning Movement. As the news of Mr. Love's statement Are ad among the delegates the?e was immediately a turning movement which began sweeping the delegates who prefer McAdoo ifato a cohesive force which began at once to renew efforts to* bring a,J)Out his nomination. v Up to the time Mr. Love's statement, McAdoo boomers were estimating their strength from 250 to as high as 600. I The first effect of Mr. Love's statement was'to create an immediate demand for further and more authoritative information. In view of Mr. McAdoo s repeated declarations tnat he did not wish /to become a candd- , date, many expressed the views that something should be given to the delegates either from Mr. McAdoo himself, or bearing in an unmistakable way his approval. A Fine Speech. We heard a good speech an evening or so ago. it was delivered h# : Mr. C. F. "Templeton, manager of tho Pepsi-Cola Bottling works in Newberry. The speech made to a very small audience of one person, The Herald and News reporter. I Mr. Templeton h^d heard the address, "Back to the Farm," during the last chautauqua session here. He said he could tell the lecturer why people had left the farms, and , he j-j i/ill 4-W?f lo/ifnrPT1. proceeaeu tu tcu .w.?v.r through the ears of the reporter, fast and flaently, why so many people had moved from the country to the cities, the movement dating back to the time when the price of cotton was at its very lowest. Pfeople left the farms because of the extremely low price of cotton and everything else produced there. They could not make anything above a mere existence any longer in the country, and the cotton mills made it profitable for them to move to the cities. Many of the best citizens of the country brought their families to these cotton mills, and mill operatives generallv are of a good class of people. - .11 Many of the farmers had to seu their places, having lost out through liens and mortgages on everything * they had. He remembers when the farmer, hard pressed, hard worked, with cotton down to 3 and 4 cents, very little and very often no market for potatoes, turnips, etc., had to give a lien on his crops for the money needed to cultivate them. They just simpfy gave up in their discouragement, and it was not to be wondered at that they flocked to the mills where good money was plentiful for all who worked. Now that lands are so immensely valuable and cotton, etc., at highest prices in the history of the nation, it is a pity that so many * - ' J -4. . farmers sold tfteir piaces, airu aii bv great sacrifice. In his talk Mr. Templeton just wanted to show why it was tfeat tire -etemtry people Iwfcaa eositeg * to town in '?t&Hrege nwambe*s. __.t i /, \:a; , i... . ^saaHBsHMfla
