(From The State Thursday.) The South Carolina Democratic con vention, after a long and Interrupted session, late last night adopted a reso lution Indorsing the candidacy of Gov. Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey for president, elected vice presidents and then turned to the election of dele gates. The principal light on the floor of the convention was on the question of instructing delegates. Tho sentiment of the convention was very largely In favor of Gov. Wilson, as evidenced In the vote on the resolution of Indorsement, but the Wilson forces were unable to muster a majority when It came to a question of in structing the delegates. Long end warmly the contest was waged, with speeches and points of order the am munition, and with frequent bursts of applause puncturing the delibera tions. Meeting at noon yesterday the con vention organized by the appoint ment of the credentials, with Mendel L. Smith of Kershaw in the chair. The credentials committee appointed, the convention took a recess to allow the committee to proceed with its work, the most important feature of which was the decision of the contests from Charleston and Georgetown. In the former case the Harnwell delegation, proponents of J. El more Martin for sheriff of Charleston county was seated by a vote of :1G to 0. In the Georgetown case the "court house club" representing the forces of "old Georgetown," was seated by a vote of 3G to 4. The convention reconvened at S o'clock and Thos. 01. McLeod, former lieutenant governor, was elected per manent president. M. M. Mann and .lames A. Hoyt. temporary secretaries, were made permanent officers. The First ( lash. Then, with tho convening of the regular session of the convention came the opening fight. The first clash on instruction came on the floor, it having been decided that the presl dential light should be made in open convention, without reference to com mittees. John P. Thomas, acting for the Rlchland delegation, precipitated the light, offering a resolution In structing for Woodrow Wilson. I). S. Henderson for the Alken delegation offered a resolution against instruc tion for any candidate. This resolu tion was finally adopted. At 8:09 p. m.. M. L. Smith, tempo rary president, called the convention to order. J. E. McDonald, chairman of the committee on credentials, re ported that the committee almost unanimously recommended that the Harnwell delegation from Charleston and the Hazard delegation 'from Georgetown be seated. The report was adopted by a vivo voce vote. The election of a permanent pres ident of the convention was taken up next. J, II. Clifton of Sumter nominated Thomas G. McLeod of Lee county for permanent president. After a stormy session of six hours the credentials committee recommend ed that the Charleston delegation, headed by Joseph \V. Harn well, be seated. The vote was vfi to 0, four members not voting and two vot ing "neither". The Georgetown del egation, represented by J, Walter Hazard, was recommended as being the legal delegation by a vote of 36 to 4. The report of the committee was adopted last night by tho State convention. lly the action of the committee the contesting delegation from Georgetown headed by Dr. Olln Sawyer, and that from Charleston, represented by Mayor John 1*. Grace, were kept out of the convention. The meeting of the credentials commit tee was characterized by bitter per sonalities. J. E. McDonald of Wlnns boro, chairman of tho credentials com mittee, conducted the examination of tho witnesses. The Georgetown Winners. The following delegation was rec ognized from Georgetown county: G. A. Doyle, J. B. Steele, 1). J. Wilson, J. A. Brulngton, E. O. Boatwright, M. W. Pyratt. O. H. Swan of Charleston and O. M.

The contesting committee men were Dan L. Slnklcr of Charles ton and J. Walter Doar of George town. Delegation Indorsed. Mayor Grace was the spokesman for the delegation trom Charleston as opposed to the Harnwell delega tion. He went to the accustomed place for the attorneys, and began to speak in commendation of his admin istration. He sought to prove his claims. He bagan with a talk about the rule of the people, and then branched off Into a bitter denuncia tion of the press. Finally he Injected the name of Senator B. R. Tltlman Into his harague and tried to im press the committee that the senior senator was supporting his delegation. Tho denunciation by Mayor Grace of the Barnwell delegation and tho claim to the support of Senator Tlllman were brought to an abrupt end when Rutledge Rivers, attorney represent lng the Barnwell delegation, read a letter from Senator Tlllman to J. El more Martin, sheriff of Charleston county. Indorsing the course of the Barnwell delegation. Tlllman Letter. The letter, Bald Mr. Rivers, was read only because of the use of the name of Senator Tlllman. Mr. Martin was adverse to the use of the letter and declined to give it for publication even In part except when urged that It was part of the commit tee's record. The letter follows: "U. S. Senate. "May 9, 1912. "Mr. .1. Elmore Martin, Sheriff, Char leston. S. C. "My Dear Sheriff: I have your let ter of May 7. I had one from George Legare yesterday. Have read the ac counts in the papers and from what 1 can gather It seems that your fac tion is entirely in the right and the other crowd is up to their old tricks of 'rule or ruin.' The State conven tion ought to make an example of all such Democrats and I hope It will. I would glory In being well enough to come to the convention myself and cnlling attention to some things In Charleston's past history along these lines, but I do not feel able to do this. I will write some letters though and help you all I can. Because I believe In helping you 1 help the honest men In Charleston and turn down the Chlccos and men of that Ilk who were born wrong and will die wrong. "I had rather he defeated in the primary than prostitute myself l.y lending assistance and countenancing any such disgraceful doings. "I think I will write out an inter view on tho political situation in South Carolina and give it to the papers today. "Your friend. "B, R. Tlllman." Georgetown Contest, The next contest considered was that from Georgetown county where two conventions were held. J. Wal ter Hazard represented the regular convention and the Sawyer wing was represented by C. E. Sawyer of Alken. Mr. Sawyer in making his argument reviewed the meetings of the two clubs In the city of Georgetown and tried to show that the Hazard men did not att nd the meeting. The two contesting delegations before the committee were designated as the "fire hall" and the "court house" the hearing there was a sharp passage of words between Mr. Sawyer and O. M. Mitchell, the executive committee man with reference to the hearing before the credentials committee In Georgetown. Mr. Sawyer in his argu ment charged misrepresentation on ?he part of the press. Testimony was 1 presented to show that there wer.' Tu delegates in the county convention' 'and the Hazard forces had 30 of the delegates. The forces of Dr. Sawyer I held a separate meeting because thoy j did not believe that the vote was fair.; The man contest was over the work of .los. R. Johnson as a teller.

C. 1 ?yHE FORD factory is conceded by the most famous mechanical engineers to be the most compact, concise and efficient automobile factory in the world, being equipped with labor and time-saving machinery, designed by Mr. Henry Ford specifically for the manufacture of Ford Model T Cars. The Ford Motor Company devote all efforts to the building of ono model, thus assuring a degree of efficiency, (because of continued familarity of the employees with their work) not possible where several models are being con structed, and where the workmen are switched from one price of work to an other. The Ford factory is running continuously twelvemonths a year. The workmen are never bothered with the troublesome thought of being "laid off" for a while. They know that their employment is secure as they are efficient and industrious. Still another fact lies in the symplicity of the design of Ford Model T. It is a quicker car to build because there are few parts and nothing intricate. So simple, that any ordinary individual understands it readily.
