W. ("Tielesa Jot?") Tolbert of Ninety-^Six over Republican politics in South Carolina was definitely ended today when the national convention seated the "lily white" delegation of J. C. ' Hambright, Rock Hill, by a unanimous vote, Tolbert did not go through with a promise to carry the fight to the convention floor. He said he was talked out of it by various members of the national committee who convinced him his defeat before the credentials committee Was so decisive there was little hope a floor fight would reverse it. Soon after the convention opened this morning, the report of the credentials committee was read. It recommended the Haiifcbright delegates be given the seats then occupied by the Tolbert faction. The convention roared its approval without a dissenting vote. The first act of the newly seated delegates was to participate in a parade around the floor which followed mention of President Hoover's name by Representative iSnell. As the various delegations hoisted their banners and joined in the inarch around the aisles, Hambright himself seized the South Carolina standard and motioned his followers to 'get in line. They did so amid whoops of victory. Meanwhile, bitterly disappointed, Tolbert and his mixed delegation packed their bags and prepared to reI turn to South Carolina. "Tieless Joe" made no secret over the fact he thought the national committee which upheld his side of the argument lust week would stick to him in his plan to carry the contest to the floor. Instead, the national committee did all possible to persuade him to drop the fight. "I beat them (the Hambright delegates), 95 to r>, before the national committee," Tolbert said. "Then they I let the credentials committee unseat me by a vote of 34 to 14. I guess there is nothing to do but go home." Tolibert was silent us to his future pluns. He said he had been in politics a long time and might find it hard to stay out but he was saying nothing now. There was renewed activity at the Hambright headquarters as the delegation prepared to caucus on the prohibition plank. Unofficial spokesmen said the Hambright faction was bone dry, but probubly would go along with the president in the event he wished some form of modification or a referendum.

Cheer up. Don't let the depression fool you. Maybe you can got more real enjoyment out of life under present conditions than you ever knew during times when most folks, eaeh ip his or her degree, got a. little '^iigh-hat" and scorned the best things in life. We don't know where the following originated, but it is wo nth passing along to readers of this compendium of valuable information. Here's a fellow who likes the depression, who wants no more prosperity. Beneath its humor there is sound philosophy. You'll get a kick out of it. Here it is: I like the depression. 'No more prosperity for me. I have more-fun since the depression started than I ever had in nr.y life: I had forgotten how to live, what it meant to have real friends; what it was like to eat common everyday food. Fact is, I was getting just a little high hat. Three years agoj only one man of the News-Globe organisation could be omt of town at a time and he had to leave at the last minute and get back as soon as possible. Many times I have driven 100 miles to a banquet, sat through three hours of bunk in order to make a dive-minute speech, then drive the 100 miles back so as to bo ready for work the next morning. Nowadays, as many , News-Globe employes as are invited make these trips and we stay as long as we. want to. The whole outfit could leave the office now and it wouldn't make any difference. I like the depression, 1 have time to visit my friends, to make new ones, Two years ago when 1 went to a neighboring town, I always stayed at the hotel. Now I go home with my friends, stay all night and enjoy home-cooking. I have even spent the i week end with some of the boys who have been kind enough to invite, tne. It's great to drop into a store- hnd feel that you can spend an hour or two or three or a half day, just visiting and not feel that you are wasting valuable time. I like the depression. I am getting acquainted with my neighbors. In the last six months I have become acquainted with folks, who have been living next door to me for three years. I am following the Biblical admonition, "Love your neighbors." One of my neighbors has one of the best-looking wives I have even seen. She is a dandy. 1 am getting acquainted with my neighbors and learning to love them. Three years ago, I ordered my clothes from a merchant tailor?two and three suits at one time. I was always dressed up. But now, I haven t bought a suit in two years.- I am mighty proud of my Sunday-go-tomeeting clothes. When I dress up, I am dressed up and I don't mean maybe. 1 like the depression. Three years ago I was so busy and my wife was so busy that we didn't see much of each, other consequently wo sort of lost interest in each other. I never went home to lunch. About twice a week I went home for dinner?at 6:30 o'clock. I never had time to go anywhere with her. If I did go on a party, I could never locate her, since there was always a 'blonde' or 'red-head' available 1 didn't much worry about it. My wife belonged to all the clubs In town. She even joined the young mothers' clufo. We don't have any . children, but she was studying?and between playing bridge and going to clubs, she was never at home. I haven't been out on a party in 18 months. I have lost my book of tel. ephone numbers. My wife has dropped all the clubs. I believe we are , falling in love over again. I am ( pretty well satisfied with my wife. r I am feeling better since the depression. I take more exorcise. I walk to town and a lot of folks who used to drive Cadillacs are walking I with me. i like the depression. f I My indigestion is better. I haven't ) { been to see 4 doctor in a year.

NOBODY'S BUSINESS By Gee McGee IIEKE AND YONDER ..A peanut politician i,a a cross between w pin-head and a tlabbergaster. And ho eats goobers while bragging on himself. .. .. ? j ... If you are broke, busted, bankrupt and insolvent, you should borrow and spend. That's the government's idea. ..Rich folks own tax-exempt bonds. Poor folks don't pay anything. ., as they don't own anything. Fools own land and personal property and smoke cigarettes, and consequently pay nearly all of the taxes. 0 ..When the public thinks your prices are too high, it boycotts you. ^' 1 the reason the railroads and Pullman folks and utility companies ain't working anybody overtime. You can still use a telephone as cheaply as you> could during the World War.... which is over... .but they don't know it. i .. . .Our country is clamoring for US to get off the gold basis. I got ofl^ the gold basis in 1030, forsook the silver basis in 1929, started on the copper basis in 1930, entered upon the ghicken-egg basis in 1931, and 'am now on the bread-line basis.... and our poorhouse is full. Boo-Hooj Hoo! COTTON LETTER | NEW YORK, May 3.?Liverpool came in steady but low. Spots weakened, on advices from Egypt that shirt-tails in India are shorter. Russian cotton is being dumped in Eng-^ land at the rate of 3 bales a month. Boll weevils in Alabama are lining up with Heflin and favoring a higher tariff, but are opposed to calcium arsenate, red spiders and dry weather. Linters are firmer and so is butter,' however, notwithstanding or sitting, I we suggest plowing up every other row and installing goobers therein. HOW TO GET RICH ..Marry. Pay as you go, or don't go. Love your neighbor. Stay out of debt. Raise your children to love their home. Smile at your own wit*; instead of the other fellow's wife. Keep clean. Go to church. Take an interest in your work, but don't take your work to bed with you. Pay something to your preacher. Sympathize with the man that's worse off than you are. Be reasonably charitable. Avoid politics and politicians. Keep your head cool and your feet warm and your stomach settled. And keep agoing. General News Notes Twelve men are in jail at Ironton, Ohio, while officers investigate the lynching of Luke Marion, 35, negro of. Atlanta, Ga., who was taken from the jail at South Point, Ohio, last Tuesday night by a mob. and lynched, after he had been incarcerated for threatening two white men. Two men were arrested in Arkansas on Saturday afternoon after their automobile had collided * with another car as they sought to elude officers with whom they had fought a gun battle during a 15-mile chase. The men were wanted for robbing a bank at Plainview and when captured had the loot from the bank. Silas H. Strawn, prominent Chicago business man, says that he is certain the Republican national convention will adopt a wet platform plank favoring resubmission of the prohibition question to the voters. The senate on Saturday voted a 10 per cent cut in the pay of all government employes receiving $1,000 j and more per year. It is estimated that such a cut will save the government not less than $117,000,000 per ! year and thus help the government to ! balance the budget. I Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of j General Moluin corporation, is amons 1 the newest of the big captains of in! dustry coming out and favoring the ! repeal of the 1Mb amendment.
