Another resolution adopted calls upon the national railroad chairman to urge a return to the mileage book system requiring two and one half cents a mile as long as the fare is set at three cents a mile. The day's session was devoted entirely to the adoption of resolutions and an amendment to the constitution providing for a board of directors of five members, the subscribing of $115.70 to the economy home at Kings Creek, the -- adoption by a rising vote that the traveling men indorse the motto of the South Carolina Development board, and hearing an address by Joe Sparks, representative of the board. Mr. Sparks made one of the best addresses heard on the flgor of the convention. 1 The proposition to organize a large: hotel corporation for the state was | put by M. J. Russell of Gaffnev, pro- j vidinj* for a $2,500,000 corporation' for *the building of a chain of hotels in the state, was heard with interest by the convention.

I * j Washington, May 11.?The subject of cutting down Southern representation has again come up for con-! sideration in a quiet way by members j of congress as the returns from the' various cities and towns of that sec-; tion, as census ngures are givmi vui.,; indicate that several of the states of, the South will add to their delega-: tions in the house. f ] The Southern cities of Augusta,1 Macon, Jacksonville, Columbia, Knox- j ville, Tenn., and others in the South; have shown considerable growth; within the past ten years, and some of the larger ones, as Atlanta, Bir-j . mingham and others are still to be ; heard from as to what they have done. Enough has been shown, how-;: ever, to indicate 'that the South will; increase its number of representa-! tives in congress, unless the Republi-i cans hold the balance of power again ! and not only fail to seat new mem-! hers, but pass a bill to cut .down the | number already here. This latter j plan would seem impossible, but it may not be so. The "fact is, how- J ever, that the membership of the j house will probably remain as it now ! is?435 members?admitting no more by the new census. I It is predicted that as a result of the new tabulation there will be many ! new members, the old membership : numbering 386 before tl\e 'new cen-; sus increased this to 435. A day or two ago Champ Clark, former speaker of the house, askea j Republican members what they in-1 tended doing aboirt this matter and said that already the hall of the house was far too small to accommodate the : present number, and that if more were to be admitted it would be necessary to entirely rearrange the en-; lire seating and acoustic accommOctaions for the various members. Mr. Clark asked the Republicans point blank what plans they had up j their sleeves for reducing the number of members, and if they intended; to put such a plan in action. Uf course there was no direct reply for! very good reasons, but it is known for instance that if Georgia get 13 members of the house instead of 12, as at present, or Florida should be entitled to five instead of four, that a big howl will go up that that section already has more members than she is entitled to send here. j There is strong probability that 4-tirill n ' on Afhnr UUwll ux tu^oc \> in auu unvunvx. member, and in that case there must be a redisricting law. passed by the | respective legislatures. ^ j It is believed also thai ?ennesses! ix::d Mississippi, as well as some of the other states in the South, will increase their representation in the! house, provided, of course, that if the j figures show they are entitled to i these increases and they knock at he doois of cor.grer? /or aUmicnionj a n^pubJcan r : jority?if the latter J.-j tlioil in power?does not keep / 'them out. ) WILL DISCUSS " ^ "MODERN UNREST" I ______ D.

Mc(iiben.v, novelist and traveler, comes with a broad background of experience to lecture at the D. H. McGIBENY. * '' j Redpath Chautauqua on "The Mod-, era Unrest." j This lecture is to a great extent a study of bolshevism "and what it aims J to accomplish.. Mr. McGibeny has given much time to the investigation of fcolshevism, not only abroad i>;.t in America as well. His experiences in Washington in tracking down the national society of anarchists revealed important events of present-day history. Besides \beinsr a lecturer of unusual ability, Mtv MfcGibeny has also received marked recognition as a writer. The Ladies' Home Journal is carrying i?ach month a story by him, illustrated in color, and a new McGibeny novel, "Builet Proof," has Just been published. DOMIN1CK GOES* AFTER LAND-I LORD WHEN HIS TELEPHONE'S v CUT OUT. j Washington Corresopndent Columbia Record. , Angered by'the tactics of his landlard Representative Dominick of Newberry has carried compiaini, against the house commission. The case came up Thursday before the commission which has lately handed out some drastic doses to the rent profiteers. Reresentative Dominick is demanding that his telephone, which was taken eut of his apartment, be restored. He maintains that when he signed a 12 months lease for his apartment last October the telephone was included and the owners of the house had no right to ramove the instrument. /-tf When Mr. Dominick movea into his j apartment house last year of course inirtryianf woe fn J C V?

However, a few months ago the house was sold I and the new owners had the telephone taken out as well as the switchboard. In place of the former system a nickle in the slot machine i was installed in the lobby. This | would necessitate the occupant of! each department going to the lobby if he wished to make or receive a I call. Mr. Dominick considers this an j outrage and has taken the matter to] the commission wThich is expected to hand down a decision-in a few days.

Its army of woiker? only transferred their activities to a field of battle between men, for it has been fighting a battle of vice, poverty, sin'and misery in our own fair land for fifty years , and has won many a battle in its 1 work of relieving suffering. It reclaims yearly thousands of girls who have cone astrav. There is hardly a county in the southern states that does not send men and women out into the world too weak to fight the battle of existence and who sooner or later are helped by the Salvation army. ! "It makes very little fuss about its charitable work, but it is constantly at it and hundreds of thousands of people can testify to its worth in the cause of humanity. People of this state are greatly appreciative of the wonderful sacrifice that the Salvation Army workers are constantly making in order to help suffering mankind, and while we may be ever io tired of giving and serving; we cannot afford to turn a deaf ear to this annual appeal of the Salvation Army for funds with which to carry on its worthy ,work for another twelve months.
