Smith, ot New York. The Greenville Piedmont has put this question to the member* of the State's delegation: "Do you construe the instructions of the State Democratic convention as making it possible for the South Carolina delegaion to vote in Houston for Governor Alfred E. Smith?" To this inquiry, Governor John G. Kichards, national committeeman from the State and member of the delegation to Houston, made this reply: "Most positively I do not. As a member of the delegation, 1 regard it that I am positively honor bound not to vote^for Governor A'l Smith, or any other man that is regarded as a "wet." Equally positive was the answer of the first delegate to take the other side." This delegate was G. W. Neuffer, of Abbeville, representing the third. Here is his reply: + blinder my interpretation of the action of the late State Democratic Convention, the delegates from South Carolina are not instructed for or against any one man. If, in their judgment, A1 Smith is the best candidate for the nomination they are at perfect liberty to support him amd give him their, votes. Personally, I am a supporter of Governor Alfred E. Smith for the Democratic nomination." rThe, Piedmont says it expects to hear from the other members within a day or so. Delegates yet to be heard from are: C. G. Wyche, Greenville. . Senator Blease. Senator Smith. j Roach S. Stewart, Lancaster. Theodore D. Jervey, Charleston. R. M. Jeffries, Walterboro. * J. E. Harley, Barnwell. ,W. L. R/iley, Bamberg. L. C. Richardson, Anderson. -R. T.

Now, why -we ask should the Piedmont 'bring that up? ? Anyway it will be interesting and we congratulate The Piedmont on its disagreeable thought.?'Spartanburg Herald. - FIRE DESTROYS HOTEL Pioneer Hotel at Bishopville is Destroyed by Flames Fire of an undertermined origin almost completely destroyed the Pioneer Hotel on Dennis avenue late Tuesday afternoon. The blaze was discovered a few minutes before five o'clock and the alarm immediately turned in. The fire department with their usual promptness made a quick run to the scene of the blaze*_&nd after a desperate fight lasting between three and four hours 'brought the fire under control. About two o'clock Wednesday morning the fire alarm was again sounded and the firemen rushed once more to the scene of the fire. A small blaze had again started among the smouldering ruins, but this was quickly ex* tinguished. It could not be determined' just when and where the fire originated, but it is thought that the building had been burning for some time, judging by the start the blaze had when the firemen arrived. Although the fire was put out before the entire building was burned, it is said that the building iv a complete loss. Very little of the furnishings were saved. The Pioneer hotel was a large frame building and was owned by H. W. Woodward who purchased it in 1920. Mr. Woodward says that he has not figured what the damage will amount to but that it is' partially covered by insurance. * This building had been used for a hotel fpr the peat twenty years, and at the time of the fire was being run by Mrs. L.
