Sm C, Delegate8 are
Queried by Piedmont
So The Greenville Piedmont u goIn*
to do the disagreeable thing.
.There has been no little discussion as
to what the Houth Carolina Democratic
convention did and where it left
its delegates in the matter of voting
for CSoveiuor Alfred E. 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. Wilson, Laurens.
J. B. Westbrook, Chester.
W. L. DePass, Kershaw.
R? JA, Williams, Marion.
W. ^Bridges, Florence.
Clautre N. Sapp, Columbia.
Mike Gleaton, Springfield.
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. R. Inabinet.?Bishopville

To the Small Householder
t
It in very seldom that the well-to-do owner of a large *
home is uninsured but it often happens that his less
fortunate brother who owns only a limited amount of
furniture and personal belongings feels that his stuff
is not worth the interest of the insurance agent. Consequently
when fire or wind cleans him out he finds
himself in a sad predicament where he faces a long
time in debt to replace his clothing and furniture.
We appreciate th'fe small policy-owner's business
just as much as we do the big lines, and at all tinges
safeguard his interests just as faithfully.
For sixty-three years we have built a reputation for
prompt adjustments, fair rates and c^yteous attention.
We are jealous of our standing permit
nothing to mar it. No matter how small, let us handle
your insurance.
