Used for many years to haul slag and ore through the mountain passes of the Rockies, the old covered wagon was later put into spruce by a rancher in Mexico City. 'Ori&lnaily, it had been owned by a prospector Ifclong the old Barbary coast. Last year the Caravan, despite its venerable age and halting gait, visited principal cities from coast to coast, covering more than 14,000 miles.

McNlnch of Charlotte, lias been appointed vice chairman of the Federal Power commission,- named by the President to map a new generate power policy fot the Roosevelt adminialrAi ion IHtlAit VII, ^ . ? v, f : rV*. ' _/ ; When President Roosevelt took the oath of ofTlce on Wednesday, with his hand resting on an old Dntch Bible, Ida flngehi touched this .verse: "And now abideth faith, hope and charity, bet the greatest of these Is charity.'* U. B. Ambassador Joseph E. Davis and Mrs. Davis have arrived in Mow cow, Russia. The election of blatt During the last legislative campaign, in the summer of 1936, (lovernor Johnston went on the stump to defeat certain legislators wlio had opposed his highway program and to elect legislators who favored his program. Immediately after the Democratic primary the governor called a conJ ference in Columbia, * inviting bin known supporters and those he hoped to influence to a banquet formally designating Representative I,. Custon Waii|jainaker of Cheraw, as his candidate for Speaker of the Houbo of Representatives. It was generally known that Representative Sol lilatt of Barnwell, who had served as Speaker pro teni in 1935 ami 1936 would offer for the speakership. Mr. Blatt, however, was not satisfactory to the governor bocause h<- Imd been one of the leaders ugainsl his highway program. During the summer cumpalgn Governor Johnston went to Barnwell and spoke I in un effort to prevent the reelection of Mr. Blatt. The effort on the part of Governor Johnston to dictate to the members of the house as to who should bo their, speaker involved him in two criticisms. First, that it whh no business of the governor to name tne speaker, the chief officer of one of the two bodies in another division of governmental functions. Second, it wub taken as an indication of Governor Johnston's determination to ugaln reopen all the animosities of the highway squabble, notwithstanding; the fact that two-tliirdB of both houses had voted against his policies during the previous session. Quite a political battle was waged between the supporters of Blatt and those of Wannamaker, both being backed by every resource of others who \y?re interested in the outcome of the battle. Governor Johnston used every effort to elect Wannamaker, hiH opponents on the highway Issue likewise exerted themselves to bring victory to Blatt. The race was unusually close but Blatt won. In the secondary contest over the election j of speaker pro tem the house repeatI ed its action by defeating the Johnston candidate. We cannot but believe that the elecI tjon of Representative Blatt is in the | best Interest of the state's welfare at this time, notwithstanding the fact that Representative Wannamaker Is a capable leader. Mr. Blatt has had severeal terms of experience in the legislature and 1b more versed in the parliamentary art of presiding ovqr the house, hot an easy task for a newcomer. Mr. Blatt is able, intelligent and patriotic and will make a good speaker. Aside from the personal element "the election of Blatt did much to discourage the governor and his friends from again subordinating all the welfare of the state to the continued fighting of his duel with Ben Sawypr, the efficient chief highway commissioner. The legislators may, therefore, devote their time and energies to matters of more permanent benefit to the state than taking sides in this personal fetid of the governor.?
