 buggy was turned over and the horse, breaking from the harness. ran down the
 road.
 Help soon reached Mrs. Bennett and the children. Mrs. Bennett was uncon- scious, lyong on the side of the road, as was the little Curtis boy. The other three children were terrified and wept aloud at the same time struggling to give as- sistance to the other occupants of the
 buggy.
 A carriage was summoned and Mrs. Bennett was taken to her home. A sur geon was summoned. Mrs. Bennett had a severe scalp wound, but soon recovered consciousness.
 The attending physician said last night that although the wound was serious, he had no apprehensions as to Mrs. Ben- nett's final recovery.

 the Fort in the blue waters of this harbor
 guarding the gates of Charleston, accen-
 tuates the priveleges of this occasion.
 The Alabama delegation with the excep-
 ton of that of South Carolina was the
 largest in attendance at this convention. Alabama is proud of the signal conl- pliment paid her through the election of | Mrs. J. D. Beale to the Second Vice. Presidency of the U. D. c. Mrs. Beale received almost an ovation at the hands of this convention. for out of represen- tation of 1925, 1,131 votes were cast for her. Among the small minority not voting at all were the uninstructed proxies sent to the Alabama Division, Mrs. Wood,
 Mrs. Beale was put in nomination by Mrs. Blandon of Texas. and was instantly seconded by the full vote of Georgia,
 Mississippi, Kentucky, Ohio, New York,
 District of Columbia and Texas, the latter | announcing that her second came with the solid vote of 233. Mrs. Parker of New York was nominated. but withdrew, stating that New York was solid for Mrs. Beale. Mrs. Parker is remembered at the New Orleans convention as one of the most beautiful women of the exclusive smart set of New York.
 Mrs. A. l.. Dowdell, ex-president of the Alabama division. was put in nomina- ton, but asked that her name be with drawn.
 Collectively and individually. the Ala hama Division, U. D. C., is proud of
 the honor which has been given our State. The beautiful young president of
 the Texas Division, Mrs. Cone Johnston.
 was requested by the president. Mrs. Townsville. to escort Mrs. Beale to the platform, where, in gracious words, she thanked the convention for this honor to Alabama. The only casualty of this won- derful reunion was the accident to Mrs. Cornelia Branch Stone, of Texas, who sprained her ankle and will, in -conse-
 quence, be confined to her room in | Charleston for many days. Mrs. Stone Is authority on all constitutional questions and her wisdom has guided the organ ization through many difficulties. There
 can not be recalled any occasion of more solemnity than that of Saturday night at the hour of twelve, when. after singing l the doxology in unison, the gracious re- l tiring president, Mrs. Rounsaville of
 Georgia. announced: This convention of 1903 now stands adjourned"
