The Columbia State, quoting The
Bamberg Herald, says that Bamberg
county will spend $20,000 on improving
the highway from Bamberg
to Branchville. The Herald should
ihavA hppn a little more exDlicit. per
haps, and supplemented the information
that this loan of $20,000 to Bamberg
county will cover only one-half
the cost of this improvement. The
,N federal government matches Bamberg
county dollar for dollar, and
will therefore, put up another $20,000
for this work. The highway
j from Bamberg to Branchville will be
one of the finest roads in the state.

DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION.
Bright Young Woman Views Recent
Meeting From Feminine Angle.
(The following article was written
for the Laurens Advertiser by Miss
Kate V. Wofford, one of the delegates
from Laurens county to the recent
state Democratic convention.)
"It seems a little presumptuous for
me to head my article .with such a
sweeping title as the above, but since
I have returned from Columbia, the
women and the part they played in
the convention has been the question
most frequently asked of me.
"Well, well," say my good friends.!
"Back from Columbia?" "How's the
convention?"
"Fine as a fiddle," say I.
"What's up?"
"Yeah, I know. But the women?"
".r'arm dioc was up iou ?
"Oh, sure! But tell me. How did
the women behave?"
The women! So that was it! People
wanted to know just about our new
citizens, whether they overran the
convention, whether they kept silen?
as admonished by the good Saint
Paul, whether they had bobbed hair
and surreptiously indulged in chewing
gum or sat peering behind scholary
spectacles and talked of the unknown
quantity in politics. The soldier's
bonus and the farm bloc were
interesting but colild wait?to women
now! Whereupon my enquirer
and I casually sat ourselves down
then and there and talked about this
new feminine element which has
come silently but surely in the political
life of our state and nation.
But let me state at the beginning.
vvnen tne announcement came num
the county convention that I had been
seleected a delegate lor the state convention
my mind flew back to the expressed
wish of my mother that she
might some day participate in the
politics ol her state. "Aunt Kate,"
how she would have arisen to days
like these! She was the first suffragist
I ever knew and the finest. Her home
and personal life was a direct contradiction
to all the pitfalls predicted
by those nbt in sympathy with the
participation of women in public life
and had she been living toaay sue
would have had my place at the convention
and filled it better than I
could ever hope to do. It, therefore,
seemed to me, as we set our faces toward
Columbia on Tuesday morning,
that tunseen delegates?my mother
and the other women who dared to
back woman suffrage in its unpopularity,
sat beside us, delegates repre^
sentative of the honesty, of the earnestness
and purity of purpose that
women everywhere are bringing with
them into their new duties of suffrage.
Two other women, representing
the fine type of womanhood of
Laurens county, Mrs. R. L. Gray and
Mrs. Alvin Curry, of Gray Court, and
our genial representative Mr. Carol
Nance, of Cross Hill, our automobile
host, and a fine one, made up the
party.
It was the complaint of the women
of one delegation that their men had
done all in their power to make tnem
uncomfortable, and it was with great
complacency that I comforted her and
invited her to move up to Laurens
county where the men gave us square
deals! Mr. Nance did everything in
his power, as did other delegates, Dr.
Douglas, Dr. Miller and Gov. Cooper,
to make our debut into politics easy,
5ven going the second mile to see that
the two committee places ,of this
county were given to women, the
places on the rules committee going
to Miss Kate V. Wofford, and the one
on platform to Miss Will Lou Gray.
The opening hour of the convention
to the surprise of everyone, including
the weather man, broke
bright and clear, a happy omen of the
frond democratic fellowship to follow.
Arriving at the capitol and the convention
hall, I found it already comfortably
full, and the air buzzing with
the pleasant hum of political bees in
the different bonnets scattered over
the hall. Placards with the names of
;he different counties studded the hall
and underneath these placards sat
the delegates?the men and the women!
Thirty-five of the latter, and
not a bobbed head of hair among
them! Intelligent looking, intelligent
thinking, and intelligent talking,
they were marked, though candor
make some confess that comparatively
little talking was done by the women
which may or may not give you dear
reader, food for thought! The atti
tude of the women of the convention
was one of frankly wanting to learn,
of our announcement of ignorance of
things political, but an overwhelming
eagerness to be informed and tried
and declared worthy.
A woman from Marion Miss Nellie
Ellerbe. was elected one of the secretaries,
and sat on the platform during
the meeting. Following the good suggestions
of the Greenville Piedmont,
and the suggestions of the many Laurens
friends. Miss Wil Lou Gray was
nominated by the Laurens delegation
for temporary chairman, and would
have been elected had she not withdrawn
her name on the ground that
she was too much of a novice at pre
Joseph W. Tolbert
For U. S. Marshal
Washington, June 6.?Joseph W.
Tolbert, Republican national committeeman
and state chairman for South
Carolina, -was today nominated by
President Harding to be United State
marshal for the western federal district
of South Carolina to succeed
C. J. Lyon, the Democratic incumbent.
The nomination of J. W. Tolbert
suddenly followed the decision of the
president not to send to the senate
the nomination of R. R. Tolbert, of
Abbeville, brother of the national
committeeman for the marshalship
after having R. R. Tolbert under serious
consideration for a number of
weeks. The white house evidently
decided that confirmation would be
too difficult. Senators Smith and Dial
caiH thic aftomnnn that thpv harl nnt
??**?* ?.WW J
decided what they would do with regard
to the Tolbert nomination, but
they had asked the judiciary committee
to withhold action on it for a
while. t; .
At the same time the president
was sending the nomination of Committeeman
Tolbert to the senate, the
senate committee on postoffices was
taking upfavorable action on the
nomination of B. J. Mixson to
be postmaster at Orangeburg.
Mr. Hixson has been understood
to be the personal representative
of Tolbert in that section
and has been acting as postmaster
for some time. When Mr. Mixson
was nominated for postmaster, Senator
Dial opposed the nomination and
charged before the postoffice commit
tee that Mixson had on two separate
occasions conveyed to Miss Singletary
the Democratic holdover postmaster
at Bowman, the suggestion that if
she would pay him a sum of money
he would see that she kept her office.
Two postoffice inspectors reported
that the facts were as Senator Dial
had stated and the committee today
voted to recommend the rejection of
the Mixson nomination.
In the civil service examination
which was held for the Orangeburg
postmastership, Dr. A. C. Ligon, for
seven years the Democratic postmaster,
was No. 1 on the list certified
and A. D. Webster, for seventeen
years the ^Republican predecessor of
Dr. Ligon as postmaster, was No. 2.
Mixson was third. Whether there
will be another civil service examination
for the^office or it will be filled
from -the present eligible list is
not known. - *

siding and preferred for that reason
not to accept the honor. Two women,
Miss Katherine Mulligan, of Spartanburg,
and Mrs. M. T. Coleman, of Abbeville,
were elected vice-presidents,
and fifteen other women served on
committees. All the work done by
women was done gracefully and well.
But it is understood that the real
constructivte work of the convention
jwas done by the men composing its
'body. They were the ones who directed
its thinking, who guided the principles
of our great party and who

task of teaching the women the ins
and outs of a political convention.
They were ever courteous, tactful and
eager to 'help. Women will not forget
the help the men of the state gave
them in the Democratic convention of
May, 1922.
Also be it understood that while
we held our peace we learned a great
deal like:
"A wise old owl sat in an oak,
The more he heard the less he
spoke,
The less he spoke the more he
heard,
Why are we not like this bird?"
The women in the convention played
the wise old owl, said little and
consequently heard much, but it was
the eeneral opinion that they behaved
wisely and that the next ocnvention
will find them better able to carry
their part of the Democratic troubles
and joys.
"The questions most discussed," I
continued, "Were the soldier bonus,
education, the farm bloc, and?"
"Oh, yes, sure! But you know, I
think that's pretty good about the
lady getting up and announcing that
after a long discussion that they had
churned a long time not to get any
butter. What do you think?"
Here I usually left my good friend
hurriedly with the injunction to read
the daily papers. It seems from the
reports in these dailies that reporters
were very much interested in us too!
ALMS HOUSE HEAD
IS SHOT TO DEATHColumbia,
May 28.?The Rev. Vincent
Davis, superintendent of the
Richland county alms house, was shot
to death there early this morning the
county authorities charge by James
Watts Crocker, an inmate for the past I
seven months. Two shots were fired, j
the second one piercing the heart of j
Mr. Davis, causing instant death.
The authorities attribute the cause
to the request of Mr. Davis, made of
Mrs. Crocker, also an inmate, Friday
to assist in the kitchen, as the regular
cook had quit, to which Crocker is
said to have taken umbrage.
According to Sheriff Heise, interpreting
versions of the tragedy from
three eyewitnesses, the cook and two
inmates, Mr. Davis went to the cabin
occupied by the Crocker couple this ]
morning about 8 o'clock with smok-1
ing tobacco for Crocker. Crocker, it
is said,' opened the door, pulled a revolver
and fired two shots, the second
of which entered the heart of
Mr. Davis, who staggered about fortyfive
feet and sank to the ground deac
Sheriff Heise stated that Mrs.
Crocker said she was not present at
the time of the killing but that her
husband admitted when she came
the house, that he had killed Mr.
Davis.
Sheriff Heise and Rural Police
Chief Dunaway were notified of the
tragedy and. reached the alms house
together. They were warned that
Crocker might try. to do them violence.
They saw Crocker sitting in
the window with a revolver in his
hand, said Sheriff Heise, but when
they commanded him to come out he
did-so, leaving the revolver on the
table in the cabin.
The revolver, said Sheriff Heise,
was a 32-caliber Smith & Wesson and
had a full round of charged shells
in it when found. The sheriff's sup
position is that it was reloaded after
the two shots were fired.
The Rev. Vincent Davis was a retired
minister of the Methodist Episcopal
church and was one of the best
known men of Richland county,
where he has lived practically all of
his life. He was noted for his philanthropic
attitude and he took the superintendency
of the alms house because
he thought he could be of real
benefit to the charity charges of the:
county. He is survived by Claud N. |
Davis, real estate dealer; Frank N. j
Davis, clothing merchant; Lawrence!
J Davis, advertising manager of the j
Columbia Record, and Henry D. Davis,
a traveling man, his sons all residents
of Columbia.
CARD OP THANKS.
I wish to express my sincere thanks
for the generous help given me by
many friends Thursday morning
when my garage was damaged by fire.
But for the efforts of these helpers
the fire would have been far more disastrous
that it was. J.
