Delegates Elected Without Instruction, Rut Bound tft Vote as a Unit The South Carolina Democratic Con,'ention, after a long and interrupted session, late last night adopted a resoution indorsing the candidacy of Gov. iVoodrow Wilson of New Jersey for >resident, elected vice presidents and hen turned to the election of delegates. The principal tight on the loor of the convention was on the fuestion of instructing delegates.' The sentiment of the convention was very argely in favor of Gov. Wilson, as ' evidenced in the vote on the resolution )f Indorsement, but the Wilson forces were unable to .'muster a majority when it came to a question of instructing the delegates, lacking only 16 votes. Long and warmly the contest was waged, with speeches and with frequent bursts of applause puncturing the deliberations. The committee on platform reported ot an early hour this morning, after the election of delegates. The cotton warehouse system provided the supreme court find it constitutional, was indorsed. A resolution was adopted instructing the delegation to Baltimore, to vote as a unit. The ecommittee on constitution reported several minor chances which were recommended. At 2:07 a. m. the convention adourned. HAD MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE Miss Fannie's Visit 'to the City Full of Business of One Sort or Another. T suppose, Miss Fannie," said Mrs. >Harris to her newly arrived guest ?* from the country, "that you have a . ~ 'Jk good many errands to do here i^the^^fl city? Some shupfltngr'pc"Well, I'd like to look rornd stores some, and see if things are much handsomer than the things wa B have at the Waybridge stores, but 1 j don't know as I'll do much buying. I've always traded in Waybridge, and I guess I always will. But I've got some errands that I'm quite set on doing. For one thing, I want to visit the art institute, and look at the Venus with the broken arm and the Victory without a head that the lady who stayed #at my house last summer talked about, when sne gave what she called an art evening in the town hall. "It didn't seem to me that those mutilated images would be worth looking at, but she said they were wonder-, ful, so I just want to see for myself. B And then I'm planning to go to the ^ public library and get out the magazine with the %nd of a story I never . finished. Some folks who were stay ing with me a good many summers 'ago left quite a lot of that story In pome magazines, and I've always been wishing to find out what became of the poor misguided girl in it." "And is that the extent of your busi. noss in town?" smilingly Inquired Mrs. Harris. "There's one more thing I'd like to do, and that is to go to the place where father bought my sewing-ma? chine. He gave it to me the day I was eighteen. I want to tell the head roan there that I never was able to use the tucker attachment. It used to just about vex the life out of me. Of course I wouldn't use it now, even if it did work, for I haven't done any fancy sewing for more than fifteen years, but I think the manager of that machine company,ought to know that that tucker was dreactruiiy unsausiao tory."?Youth's Companion. Indian Languages. Probably the most important and ' most surprising fact about American Indian languages is their enormous number. On the North American continent there were spoken probably 1,000, and possibly even more different languages and dialects. Of South America we know less, but everything points to an equal linguistic variety on that continent. The tremendous total is astounding because the aboriginal population in both continents cer tainly numbered fewer minions man are today found in many single Euro- *? pean countries in which oniy one language prevails. The twenty-five or fifty millions of American Indians possessed as many different languages as the billion or more inhabitants of the old world.?Dr. A. L. Kroeber, in Fop* / ular Science Monthly.
