C., Phone 128 Atlantic Coast Line Voters In Primaries Must Support Nominee Columbia, July 23.-*~South Carolina voters who vote in the atate J)vmoeriitic primary are bound under the party oath to vote for and support ?tat* ami national nominees tn th* K?*n?rHl election but if they do not find it poeeibto for any reaaou to vote in the general election the infraction will be overlooked, the Democratic state executive committee decided today. The committee after nearly three hour* of debate found itself in a quandary. It had voted that Chairman Roach S. Stewart, of Lancaster, was technically correct when he ruled that a voter in the primary must vote in the general election and must aupport state and national nominees under the famous rule 32 of the South Carolina Democratic p^rty. It also had refused to adopt a resolution making ,t the sense of the committee 'hat living up to the rule by individual voters was a matter for his own conscience. Then suddenly the party icaders found themselves wrjth the prospect of another state convention on their hands. 'The Rev. O. E. Watson, of Columbia, editor of the South Carolina Christian Advocate, challenged the committee to call the state convention together again to act on rule 32. A motion was made and put and carried by a close margin order- ' ing a convention at a date to be set. A committee was named to fix the date but this action, it proved, was destined to be repealed before the meeting was over. The committee composed of Senator D, I). McColl, of Bennettsville. R. D. Epps, of Sumter, and Niels Christensen, of Beaufort, after conferring with a number of other committee merrtbers decided to recommend to the committi'e that it rescind all action previously taken und adopt resolutions absolving Democrats of censure who found they could not vote in the general election for any reason. This was amended oil motion of Judge Mendel L. Smith, of Camden, to uphold the ruling of (.hairman Stewart on rule 32 and passed. The meeting although called to act upon a petition from Dorchester county and one or two other matters soon got hung sup on the question of interpretation of rule 32. The questin was brought up on request of Dr. L- Roper, of Columbia and Dr. O I K. VN atson, on behalf, they said, of thousands of South Carolinians who want to vote in the Democratic primary on August 28 for county and congressional candidates but who do not want to vote for Governor Alfred h>mith at the general election. Bringing up of the question led to three K a^' that lasted almost that i [' H?per a"'iounced that he intended to vote the DemocratK' ticket although he had not yet but roin(1 to vote for smith, but said there were thousands of persons who wanted to vote in the primary but not for Smith in the gener?i elect.,, n.

When the action confirming the' chairman s ruling was taken 23 to V(lf t,hc ^solution permitting voters to stay away from the general election lost 20 to 19. Dr. Watson c hallenged the committee to call the state convention together again. <)UfJ ut the door 'n m>' face and the faces of thousands of other Se?Pif? 0 do not want to vote for I Smith, said Dr. Watson. "1 chal? nge you to call the state convention ogether and let them pass on the question in the light of what ha* oc! lui red since the Houston convention." I I his action precipitated a brief deI ate during the motion calling the state convention was mad* and pawed only to be rescinded later ' 1 he committee previously had been advised that a ruling of the Berkeleycounty committee that certain county fhcers held over until, 1930 instead t an election being held this year ? btHMl compromised. The contestappeal'.1UMe V ***** t0 perfei't Chairman Stewart told the committee during the debate on the rule d- that he felt that his ruling was the only one in view of the clear language of the rule. He added that since his return from Houston he had received scores of letters and that he felt that U the question had not been raised there would have been no doubf that voter* would have done this year as they have in the past, refrained from going to the polls November G It was recalled that in the past no' one ever questioned the party loyalty of voters who did not go to the polls. Governor John G. Richards. an exofficio member of |"he committee by virtue of his office as national committeeman, said he intended to vote j tor Governor Smith because he was i j j Democratic nominee, but he ?dded that there were thousands ot people who were at sea what to do. 1 hese people who do not want to vote for Smith, he said, wanted to know Til 'ohey could do. He also recalled that South Carolina is the only state that has such a rule. W. H. Nicholson, of Greenwood, said he intended to vote for Smith but wanted the rule interpreted The resolution to leave the matter to the conscience of the voter was presented by D. W. Spivey. of Horry TTie committee after finally disposing of the rule 32 matter, heard a complaint from Dorchester county j that the primaries there in the past j had not been run strictly according to I law and that registration was being 'improperly handled. The committee ordered the county committee to pass on petitions of about 15.0 voters for j transfer from one precinct to another and then report back to Chairman Stewart not later than August 10. Seven patrolmen of the Knoxville, Term., pohce department have been granted bail while awaiting trial in the Federal court on charges of extortion, preferred by Bill Lundy. an admitted bootlegger. ELEPHANT HUNT A THRILL j How Ivory in Harvested id Wild* of Africa for Many Uses London.?It ia romantic to believe that hundred* of huge alephant tusk* which formed the greater part of 50 tonm of ivory aold not Ion* ago in London?to be manufactured into such unroniantic articles as umbrella han die*, billiard balls, and hairbrush back* wert uiiHirthtMl by aavai/tsa in ancient elephant graveyards, secret haunts in the depths of Africa's primeval jungles where old bull ele phants, knowing their last trek is near, wander lone and shrilly trum ueting from the tusker herd to die Perceval Bughrue says, and then tells the facts. t In cold truth, no such elephant graveyard has ever been discovered. Nor do the old bull huekera all go to a certain secret [dace when they die. More often they hunt the dense for est near native plantations, furiously attacking anyone they scent or see, raiding the black man's grain fields by night until some white hunter is appealed to by the village headmen to shoot the nzogu, as the natives fall the tusker, ami so put an end to the hullwballoo he niakeg. Even were an elephant graveyard found the hoard of tusks which one might find would be practically value less to ivory dealers. Th$ huge tusks, soine measuring nine feet long and weighing a hundred weight apiece, which dealers from all over the world bought in London at an; average price of $600 a cwt., or $5 a pound, were new "green" tusks from elephants shot within the past year or so. Tusks left on the ground, as they would'be in a "graveyard," exposed to the dew, rain, mould, white nnts, hyenas, und festering heat of the tropic jungle are found split and cracked from hull to tip, and such tusks, when picked up, often crumble to bits. Some ivory, it is true, is brought in by natives who find a dead elephant in the bush thickets or who, in defiance of the game laws, trap a ruider elephant in a pitfall, shoot hrm with poisoned urrows, or knock him senseess with a spiked log set with a tripline in the forest trees so that it comes crashing down on his head as he blunders by. Under the ivory laws all such tusks belong to the government and must Vv?ke" to thc* ?am<; department, which, if the tusks are honestly come f.y* P*y? the native hunters a reward, the ivory being sold by auction, usually A? T P. *raders who consign it to the Indian and European markets. Hut the world's best ivory comes from elephants shot by white menprofessional elepha nt-hunters?who, | risking life, health and fortune, hunv the great tuskers in the forest depths of Africa s back o' beyond. It is often said that elephants are becoming extinct. In Abyssinia where the tribes hunt elephants with veldponies, galloping the herds to a weary standstill and then slaughtering bull, cow or calf elephants indiscriminately, the elephant is disap| pearing. _ In British Africa, where strict game laws rigidly preserve the elephants, herds are on the increase in such numbers that they are even a menace to planters, and in East aa? a,lon,e il is estimated that over .>0,000 elephants still roam the bush. Io track down one of these big tusker herds in not difficult, since news of their whereabouts can always be gained from native villages, the herd 'be on the move they may heard a mile or more away crashjog in the forest, the cows trumpeting and the calves squealing. If the herd be grazing, a sound like distant' hu"der, but really the digestive rumblings of their huge stomachfr, gives their grazing haunt away. Hut to sh??t. a payaible elephant | when one has found the herd ia not I a simple matter. Cow elephants with I >tu?ks weighing leas than 30 pounds must not be shot, under the bunting laws, and since a license to shoot two .bull elephants costs $160 bulla with I good big tusks must tbe picked, out to get back that fee and the heavy ex-' penses of the trip, ami still leave , prront for the hunter, i This usually means crarwling into the forest right among the herd which, should they scent thy hunter^ may give a few warning, snorts then throw high their trunks*, stick oat tta- tails trumpet shrill defiance, and stampede like gigantic railroad engines all over the place, uprooting trees and bushes trampling big snpmgs like grass, ready fco gom- the j.hunter, kneel on him and- crush htm into pulp and then heave him over the tree-tope with their great trunks, should they sight him with anm-y Piggy eyes. ' . . <ioes no* obout a b*C old bull carrying large ivbry is a puazler to shoot, for his ears,* flafcpueg unceasingly to keeps the naoggu flies frotn his eyes and lips, are usually so torn and tattered that 'a fringe of ragged lobe gjaes flick-tfack hiding the only two Spots ia his huge skull where the hunter can put in a fatal shot.

By Breaking of Wheel and Other* are Injured Columbia, July 20.?The collapse of u wheel on the automobile in which they were riding caused the death of ' Mrs. G. A. Palmer, 20, of High Point, N. and injuiy of four others today on the highway near Kdrnund, Lexington county. Mrs. Palme*' died shortly after she was brought to H Columbia hospital. H. V. Palmer, 68, of Dublin, Ga., her father in law, is at the hoapitul so seriously injured that recovery is considered doubtful. Miss Vera Palmer, 10, and Miss Lattie Chaatian, 17, both of High Point, were painfully but, it was believes, not seriously injured. G. A. Palmer, the dead woman's husband, was badly bruised on the head and face and was said to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown as u result of the accident. He said that he, his wife, and the two young women were returning from a visit to Dublin and'that his father was returning with them to make his home at High Point. Mrs. Palmer was driving, according to Mr. Palmer, arid suddenly without any warning a wheel on the automobile gave way and the machine turned over. Validity of Pardon Questioned Columbia, July 19.?-Whether the pardon granted Ben Bess by Governor Richards is still valid, whether it was obtained by fraud and the governor was within his legal rights in revoking the grant of liberty given the Florence county negro, will be decided by a circuit judge, possibly W. H. Townsend, after testimony of both sides in the case has been heard by J. C. Townsend, master of Richland county. Mr. Townsend was ^ordered by Judge Townsend to hold a special reference in the case after the judge heard habeas corpus proceedings brought in behalf of Bess by N. J. Frederick, negro attorney of Columbia. No date for the master's hearing was set.

The miniature dirigible is 40 feet long, has 22,000 feet of gas capacity, weighs 700 pounds, carries a useful load of 700 pounds, and is propelled by a four-cylinder motorcycle motor. hunter to shoot at him and miss him. But to hit an elephant with a bullet does not mean that he will fall dead. There are only two certain fatal head spots which will drop an elephant in its tracks. Put a bullet into the third wrinkle down his trunk, or midway 'between his eye and the base of his huge ear, and he should stop, shocked with the impact, then sway and go crashing to the ground. Fumble the shot, and the bull will either charge with a fiendish fury, unbelievable until experienced, or he will trumpet to his herd and the whole lot will stampede. Then, if the hunter gets away, alive he is faced with a heartbreaking trek. Startled elephants plunging into the forest depths will go night and day, covering 40 miles and more in 24 hours. lUnless the hunter wants to lose them for good, he must keep pace, giving up all thought of camp, meals, and sleep until he comes up with them. When at Last a great tusker falls to one's gun there as bard, tricky work getting the big tusks out of his massive skull, some of the bones of which are a foot thick. One-third of the task's leagth is inrarobllty buried in the skull and must be cut out. Turning oa his trail, the hunter sets out a hundred or more miles on foot back to the nearest town, to sell his ivory to traders. Gypsv Fleeces Merchant Raleigh, N. C., July 19.?A Gypsy "blessing" Monday caused the temporary loss of $40 to Jno. McDonald, proprietor of a paint shop here, i Queen Juanita and Princess Lulla, reigning beauties of the Gypsy camp, strolled into his shop, told his fortune gratuitously, then offered to jjuless his establishment. Murmuring in an unknown tongue, Queen Juanita passed her hands pver the c^sh register and promised McDonald prosperity. Examination disclosed that two $20 bills had disappeared during the "blessing" process. Police recovered the money, and allowed the Gypsy royalty to go when they promised to leave the country. At Spartanburg there are 1,000 more voters than ever before registered there. Presbyterian Church Notes The date for the picnic has been postponed one week.
