An unhappy npectaeU; wa? the
.South Carolina delegation in Houaton
and delegate C. N. Sapp told hia aaaocinten
of their plight: "Tha South
(Carolina delegation him been shown
no attention by any delegation nor
baa it been naked to ait in any caucus."
Setter had the delegated stayed at
home?better for their comfort, better
for their aelfeateem. They diJ
not count in the gathering, no one
noticed them, their presence was not
felt and their abaeikce was not missed.
"Outside the activities of Senator
Wlvaae on the resolutions committee,"
the Associated Press correspondent
says, "and Governor Richards Jn the
'dry' caucuses and rally today the
delegation has been inactive." The
convention had to give the delegation
places on the committees. The convention
could not avoid that. Mr.
Sapp preceived that- among fortyeight
states South Carolina's place
was ignominious, and he dares, in
substance, to say so.
This distressful condition was not
explained by the "dryness" of the
delegation. Was it very, very "dry"?
It is doubtful if instructions were
seriously thought of by a majority of
the delegates.
Indications are that eight members
wished to support Governor Smith,
but their hands were tied by the nine
and not all of the nine are "bono
dry." When this vote was hud, Senator
Please was absent, in committee.
He had announced publicly that he
was voting "dry," in deference to his
state, but that he was "personally
against prohibition." In that is a
clue to the standing, or want of it,
that the delegation had in Houston,
for Mr. Please and Governor Richards
were looked upon as its leaders.
Anyway, they were vocal.
Nor was it antagonism to Smith
that reduced the South Carolina delegation
to the lowly point that it failed
even to raise a laugh at itself.
< arter (ilass and the Virginians were
n?>t ignored. Joseph.ua Daniels und
the North (Inroliniana, hopeless minority
thnt they were, commanded
respect. Texas, Florida, Tennessee
were n-t forgotten. Governor Moody
had attention. Mississippi found its
wa> into the picture with hairs n:
leading the Missisaippians.
Who led the South Carolininas? In
"Houston they were not discovered,
except by themselves.
Vet it is possible that South Carolinians
are content with the represen
tntion that they had. The leaders
may be returning heroes, and fortyseven
other states do not care.
South Carolina's trouble is of the
"head, not of the heart.--Charleston

I'apt-rs of Two 8tate?
?
Hoy Tucker, a lB-ycar-old boy of
Hickory, was drowned in I>uke Hick*
ory while pluylng in the "water with
another boy, and the body was foutnl
a day later, by expert diver* in 20
feet of After hook* and dynamite
had railed to rtfUe the body.
Jack White, a Gaxtonia young man,
wax shot in the back and severely
wounded by a drunken stranger at
Edgemont where a Ga*toni# party of
young men wort .Camped. He i* in
|the hospital serhyunly wounded, but

shooting which wa? wanton firearms
practice.
R. MoCants Andrews, of Durham,
the first negro rVer to appear as an
attorney in a G^etonia county court,
tried a case at Gattonia this week and
won it. It was about a disputed lifo
insurance claim';'* Andrews is a dapper
little negro with pointed goatee
and sideburns, who faced the judg^
with composure and self reliance, held
his own well in the sparring of the
attorneys, his opponents being two
prominent white lawyers, and made a
good impression generally. In the
argument to the jury, he stood as far
back from the jury box as ho could,
stood still and urgued in even, low,
respectful tones. He has been an attorney
for several years.
Robert Bullin, of Statesville, 18
years old, disappeared, wrote his parents
and young wife he would drown
himself in the Catawba river below
Charlotte where his body might be
found, went to the Belmont road
bridge and leaned over the railing, but
could not get to the point of jumping
and somebody yelled at him and
drove him away. In the meantime
his kin frantically searched for him
and his body for three days. Wednesday
night, he walked into his
home worn out, and later told about
his travels. He caught a ride into
South Carolina from the bridge and
then went by rail to Atlanta, stayed
at u hotel nil night and next day
started home by humming automobile
rides, going via Charlotte. At home
he said he had been crazy as a bat
and was joyous that he had not committed
suicide.
Three persons were killed on a golf
course at Clinton, Iowa, Sunday when
un airplane crashed on the golf
course.
I>r. John H. Mott, for 40 years head
of Y. M. C. A. work in the United
States, has resigned, the resignation
to become effective October 1st. He
will become president of the International
Missionary council.
