Practically nothing else was done. 11 The feature of the convention was the ' 1 statement by Senator Tillman in his ( i address that he was in the race to | \ the finish, and the net result of the i meeting here today is to clinch the j ] senatorial r?ce as 'between Blease and | ? Tillman. w here it in reality has been i lor the past two years with the Re- 1 frrm candidate as the winner. The 1 address of the senior senator was a 1 * flat-footed contradiction cf the many 1 < -Li mors which have been af-oat that j the Lever announcement presaged j Tillman's withdrawal from the race. < >'othin?

The only changes j 1 in the rules were the elimination of ! < special provisions as to Charleston. | ] which was done on motion of the j Charleston delegation, leaving C'naricctrm un/jpr the ereneral rules and the general primary and Australian ( ballot laws, and the incorporation of 4 an additional general restriction pro- \ ( hibiting persons from participating in j the primary who voted in the primary j \ of 1916 'hut voted against the regular ; j nominees of the party in the election j that year. i; Former Governor John Gary Evans,1 j . of Spartanburg, was reelected chair- i ] man of the state executive committee.! and Mr .Ashley C.

Beard, of Abbeville, it is now jannounced has abandoned his appeal to the United States Court of Appeals and has gone to Atlanta to begin the sentence of one year and a day which was imposed on him here by Judge Johnson after conviction in the Federal Court for a similar charge. The effect of this latest move of Mr. Beard means that he cannot :be tried on the new charge until he has served out the sentence which he was I first given and on which he has made an appeal to the United States Court of Appeals. When he serves his time out in Atlanta he will then be subject to a preliminary hearing and'ready for further proceedings at the hands of the government in the new charge i^brought against him.
