I Democratic Body Acts in Charleston. . / Hyde Faction Silent. \ . . , ' Charleston, Nov. 20.?At a meet- 1 ing of the city Democratic conven- , tion tonight, at which an agreed "roll call" vote of 163 Grace delegates and , V 121 Hyde delegates prevailed on all j questions before the meeting, John . \ P. Grace was declared the convention i mayoralty nominee of the city Demo- j cratic party, . to be considered I the party nominee in case the' city Democratic executive com-1 mittee, at its meeting next j Tuesday is unable to legally ascertain the mayoralitv nominee of the primary of August 19. No nomination' for mayor was offered the convention by the Hyde faction tonight, as that faction refused to admit that the convention had any right to make * ~ such a nomination. The meeting lasted about 25 minutes. Mr. Cosgrove, spokesman for the Grace faction, offered an amend- j ment to the constitution to the effect ( that the convention and executive ( committee have the power to nomi- nate to fill any vacancies in nomina- 1 tions of candidates arising from fail- 1 ute of the primary to name such candldates. Mr. Grimball offered a sud- ( - ^ stitute motion providing that the con- 1 vention had no power to nominate ^ party candidates and should adjourn ] sine die. The substitute motion was 1 tabled. , Mr. Cosgrove's motion was then nassed by agreed vote, follow- J ing which Mr. Cosgrove moved that the qonvention nominate a candidate ' for mayor, his motion outlining the * existing situation, and providing that ] no action of the convention in such a nomination bind the committee. ( should the executive committee be 1 able to arrive at a legal ascertainment of the primary nominee. Mr. Grim ball offered his previous substitute < motion as a matter of record. It was 1 called and.,- Mr. Cosgrove's motion ' passed. 5 Nominations were then called for and Mr. Cosgrove nominated John P. . Grace as the convention's mayoralty candidate. No other nominations ( were offered and Mr. Grace was duly declared nominated by the convention, which then took recess. The next move will be by the executive committee at its meeting next Tuesday evening. Mrs. Robert H. Elder will undertake the task of training women aviatore to be attached to the women police reserves in New York City.

Charged $1.50 for One of the Absolute Necessaries of Life, He Has ReI nounced Yankees and All Their Works. Anyone who has ever had the mad dening experience of being stung, stripped, robbed or mulcted of a goodly sum can and will sympathize with Uncle Joe Howsley, a gentleman from the Lone Star state, who came East on a little summer trip and fell among thieves, as he views the matter. Uncle Joe is an expert on watermelons, knowing the fruit from stem to blow end like a book. He is also familiar with watermelon etiquette, so his experience proved shocking in more ways than one. A writer in a Pittsburgh paper tells the story as follows: Uncle Joe owned a five-acre farm down in Shackleford county, Texas, antil a few months ago. He then, through the will of a benign fate and the activities of an oil company, ceased being the owner of a farm and became . an oilman with an income of several j thousand perfectly good dollars a month. As a consequence, the wanderlust struck Uncle Joe and he accordingly hied himself northward to explore unfamiliar lands. Now he is going back to God's country, glad, suh, that the unfamiliarity lasted for the years It did. ' Down in Uncle Joe's land the nectar known as the watermelon is a favorite form of diet, and Uncle Joe is wie nf thA enfcures who when in his part of the Vorld partook of the treat J daily. Down there a melon of a size that would tax a man's strength to tote, suh, could be purchased for a fivecent piece. Or, if a field was at hand wherein grew the food of the gods, the taking thereof without the knowledge of the field's owner was considered no breach of the law. It is not strange, therefore, that on strolling about a city to view its sights, when "Uncle Joe's" eyes fell upon a , restaurant in the window of which were displayed numerous inviting red and green melons, life took on an interest that it had not felt since his train^ad passed over the boundary of the Grand Old State. "Uncle Joe" listened inside andcalled for watermelon. After what seemed much time, a slice, which "Uncle Joe" will testify was not more than two by six Inches, was placed before him. "I said 'watermelon'; not t bite, suh," he announced cuttingly, when his amazement at the magnitude of the thing before him had passed sufficiently to allow him to speak., After much argument, he made the bewildered waiter understand that what he desired was a whole melon like any gentleman is served with down where they know how to serve it. "Uncle Joe" consumed the two halves placed before him in blissful ignorance of the outrage that was about to be perpetrated upon him. Then came the check! Watermelon. $1.50, suh! It wasn't necessary to send in a riot call, but for a time it looked as though It might be. As It was, "Uncle Joe" stamped from the den of thieves, vow- j Ing vengeance against all Yankees In j general and one Yankee restaurant In j particular. INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT.

Illinois Member Tells Carolinian To Always Be On Job. Washington, Nov. 22.?When the vote on the railroad bill was taken late Monday night. Representative James R. Mann, of Illinois, who has just returned to his duties after several months illness, upon hearing another member called by the name of Mann, walked over to the Demcratic side and asked that he be introduced to his namesake, Representative Mann of the' Seventh Congressional District of South Carolina. The introduction was promptly brought about.
