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destined to be repealed before the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

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

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.

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

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.

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,

in the forest, the cows trumpeting

they were riding caused the death of
' Mrs. G. A. Palmer, 20, of High Point,

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.

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

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

24 hours. lUnless the hunter wants
to lose them for good, he must keep

meals, and sleep until he comes up
