ECHOES FROM CONVENTION
OF THE u. D. AT HOUSTON.

VI ILL ". ~. 194 AOO14N Wv
The following "echoes from the
i. D. c.. convention in Houston, Oc-
tober 1923, were written for the
Stote by South Carolinian who at
tended the convention:
AS always happens, when the year
comes around for the election Of a
new president general, the principal
interest Of the convention seems to
centre in that until the election is
over. This year when there were
only two candidates, the friends of
both put forth the most strenuous ef-
forts. Mrs. McSberry, the success
full candidate, is a woman Of strong
personality, backed by years of ex-
perience in both general and State
U. D. C. She is one of the four
Faulkner sisters Of Virginia, all of
whom have made their influence felt
in their native State, and is a sister
Of Congressman Faulkner and Sena-
tor Faulkner Of West Virginia. No
'Daughter'' need feel anything but
confidence in the success of the or
ganization for the next two years,
with Mrs. McSherry at the helm.
The. South Carolina division was
honored in having its president, Mrs.
Wright, unanimously elected second
vice president general, but since it is
unconstitutional for a division pres
ident to hold an Office in the general
organization Mrs. Wright declined
the honor.
One of the most important actions
Of the convention was the repeal OF
the resolution bestowing crosses OF
honor on descendants Of veterans
This rule had been in effect a yea1
and during that time only 459 de-
scendants throughout the entire
country had applied for these cross
es. When one of the women who had
been most instrumental in its begin:
ming, in an impressive speech stress
ed the idea that the cross Of honor
had been intended solely to honor
/ the living, while memorials Of many
kinds honored the dead, she struck
responsive chord, and the action
was unanimous.
For several years the conventions
made the mistake Of appropriatine
too much money, leaving the treas
ury each year in depleted condition
For two years past this has been
remedied by making no appropria-
tions, and under the skilful manage
ment of the treasurer general, Mrs
Williams Of Kentucky, funds have
accumulated. One thousand dollars
was appropriated to Shiloh and Ar
lington each, While there were sew
eral smaller appropriations.
Within two years the Shiloh com
mittee has raised about $4,000, while
Arlington has to its credit over Sl5,'
900.
Another distinct honor to South
Carolina was the selection Of Mrs. T
W Keitt Of Clemson College, as one
of a committee Of seven, composed Of
men and women, having in charge thu
selection of design, etc., for the
Confederate monument in Arlington
cemetery.

PRES, FINLEY TO FARMERS.
Pleads for Justice for the Railroads.
Equal Justice. ce.-Hopeful Of
Future.

Salisbury, n. c., November H.
In an address at a meeting Of farm
ers in Salisbury to-day President
Finley, of the Southern Railway
Company, &ook very optimistic
view Of the future Of agriculture in
the Southern States. He began by
saying:
"No one can look forward into the
future with greater confidence than
can the farmer, and in my opinion
there is no area Of equal extent IN
the world where the agricultural out
look is better than in our Southern
States.'
He directed attention to the de-
pendenee Of all the. peoples Of the
earth upon the farmer for food and
clothing, tracing the causes of pc
riods of low prices for farm products
in the Nineteenth Century in large
measure to the opening up of ex-
tensive areas to agriculture and ex-
pressing the belief that such relative
" rapid increases in the supply OF
farm products in the future were not
probable. Showing by comparative
statistics the rate at which the de-
mand for cotton goods is increasing,
he expressed the belief that "we may
look forward to time in the not
distant future when the world will
call on the American cotton planters
for 2O,O0O,OO0 bales annually" while
at the same time,' there would be an
snereased demand, at home and
abroad, for cotton seed product. Yet
cotton to the neglect Of other crops,
but advised that the increased pro-
2uetion needed to keep pace with the
demand of the world should be Sc
cured by more intensive cultivation
and by the growing of other crops
with cotton.
Speaking from the viewpoint Of
one in touch with the relations OF
supply and demand affecting differ
ent commodities in the United States
and in foreign countries, Mr.. Finley,
with view to making suggestions OF
practical value, emphasized the op-
portunities in the South for the pro-
duetion Of grains, hay, fruits, vege-
tables, livestock, poultry and dairy
products, giving special attention to
the market opportunities for South
ern grown cabbages, Irish potatoes,
and sweet potatoes. He showed that
farmers in some localities in the
South were shipping these products
both to Northern and to Southern
markets and were finding the busl-
ness so profitable as to warrant IN
creased production.
Referring to the dependence Of ag-
ricultural prosperity on supply and
demand, he pointed out that ''the
condition most favorable to the farm
er is one in which widespread pros
perity prevails in our own and other
lands,'' and that ability to reach

that negro pupils were admitted into

South Carolina and her supporters
worked very hard for the amendment
proposed by Mrs. Keitt, eliminating
all eollaterals from membership be-

was impossible to get these amend

ton. The delegates and officers were
worn out and this amendment, with
some other very important measures
was tabled. The sentiment in its'
favor has grown since last year very
much, and there is every reason to /
believe that next year it will go'

LOSE SMILE HERE
That on Faces of Davenport
Fans Will Come OFF Tomor-
row Says Tighe.
THERE WILL BE A REASON
Rock Island Fans Expected to Wear
Theirs All AfternoOn-White
SoX Here Tuesday.

If the sun shines tomorrow, there
will be smiles on the faces of the
Island City fans, during the entire
afternoon, and also on the faces of
the Davenport fans for part of the af-
ternoon at least. The occasion for the
broad grins will be the game which
will be played by the teams from
Davenport and Rock Island and it
will be the first time the two teams
have met in three years, as Davenport
has been compelled to sit out in the
cold as far as the baseball world is
concerned for two seasons during
which time they could look across the
river and see Rock Island playing.
Getting back into the game again
will bring grins of delight to the Dav-
exporters as they come into Island
City park tomorrow afternoon, but
Jack Tighe promises that the smiles
will all be in possession of the Rock
Island fans when the game is over.
The game will start promptly at 8
o'clock and it is expected that there
will be large crowd out to witness it.
Have MOI Kept by the stove.
Despite the cold weather of the
last few days, the local ball tossers
have not been allowed to sit around
the fire and grow stiff. Jack has had
them out whenever it was possible
and all of them are in good shape
With the prospects of a fine day
ahead for tomorrow the players will
be able to let themselves out to a
considerable extent.
The next game after the contest
with Davenport tomorrow, will be
against the White Sox yannigans
who will visit this city Tuesday
These same yanniganS have been
wiping up the minor teams they have
been pitted against this season and
they will be a good drawing caro-

be said without any qualification that,
excellent as all of the editions of the
Reach guide have been in recent years,
the 1909 Reach guide is the best hand
book of the kind ever issued by this

distinction of the 1909 guide is, next
to the text, quality OF paper used and
the number and beauty of the engrav-

WAS A SURPRISE
Colored Comedian Volunteers
for Y. M. G. A. Circus and
Proves Feature.
is TO END THIS EVENING
Price Is Cut for Final Performance
in Hope of Preventing Deficit
that Seems Certain.

An unusual attraction was put on
for the second performance of the Y
M. C.. A. circus last evening in the per
son of a colored comedian, James
Sloane This man was unknown until
yesterday afternoon, when he applied
ed for a chance to perform. The re-
quest was. granted, and the result was
quite treat for. those who saw the
show last evening. Sloane is an expert
pianist, being able to play with hands
feet, elbows, and in fact with nearly
all parts of his body. Besides this, he
sings and gives a monologue which is
remarkably clever.
Closes Tonight.
The third performance of the circus
was given this afternoon, and the one
tonight will be the last of the series
The circus has not been as successful
financially this year as in the past
mot because of any lack of work OF
! the part of the managers of the circus
but rather because there has been /;
general lack Oh interest Oh tne part U
the public 1t may be that the price
of the new Easter bonnets for the fai
members of families has something t.
do with the poor attendance, and thu
promoters of the circus have recogniz
ed this fact and reduced the admission
for the performance this evening to 9
cents instead of 35 cents. 1t is hope,
this will increase the attendanc
lenough to make up for the differenc
in price and to net a little profit be
sides.
Faces Deficit.
While there was fair crowd at tn
first two performances of the circu:
there was not near as many as Their
should have been, and the circus face
a deficit in its treasury. With the r,
duction in price and the extra stron
: bill which is on for tonight, it is hol
ed that enough money will be take
in to pay off all the bills and to allo
the circus to come out even, at til
worst.
