WHY HE RESIGNED
 THE PRESIDENCY

Kansas City, October 27.--That he 9re- signed the presidency of the board of trustees of Vanderbilt university to sim plify the suit now pending to determine points in the charter of the university, was the statement made by Bishop E. R. Hendrix of this city, who last night re- turned to Nashville. When the suit is settled he said the powers of the pres ident will be clearly defined.
 ''The board asks me to resume the presidency after the suit is settled" Bishop Hendrix said last night. "As president of the board I had a veto power that could be passed over by. two thirds majority vote of the board. The trouble arose over the interpretation of the charter. Some believe as the pres ident was bishop the institution was under control of the church. Others be- lieves the managing of the schools should not take the complexion of church af- fairs. The new president. Judge w. c. Ratcliff, is a capable man and I do not believe I would consider reelection

cotton swamps Shippers

Hartselle, October 27.-(Special.)-A quite unusual and disastrous condition for the cotton market in this section of country is on here just now. The rail- road agent at this place has notified cot ton buyers here not to buy any more cotton with the expectation of getting bill of lading. This condition is brought about by the fact that the cotton com press at Decatur is crowded out, and it will be necessary for them to catch up before they will receive any more cotton. In the meantime the merchants here are buying and storing in warehouse hoping that in a few days at least the cona b. ed condition will be removed. There never has been a prettier fall for mar keting a crop than the one now on. and the farmers. have rushed the staple to market with rapidity that has clogged the market here.
 A floral parade, participated in by Il vehicles and driven by as many charm ing young ladies, was the feature of the lday at the fair. The attendance is good and the interest is fine.

REPUBLICANS IN
 STATE CONVENTION
Federal Office Holders and Ne
 groes Are Eliminated
ATTENDANCE IS LARGE
ing a Fight to Keep the Party Intack Without the Aid of
 the Negroes

Columbia. S. C., October 27y-There Is the list of delegates here for the republican state convention called to meet here this afternoon by John P. Cspers, national committeeman for South Carolina. This convention will contest the claim to regularity which will be made for the convention composed most ly of negroes, which met here September 2e. The convention under party law is limited to one delegate for each member of the lower house of the state legisa- ture, or 124 members. In addition. there are in attendance 200 or 300 alternates and visitors from all over the state.
 Delegates express determination to organize a party that "can at least elect Republicans to Congress from the south" Captain Capers said today; 'The re- publican party will need the two con- gressmen this year from Virginia, the three from North Carolina, the three from Tennessee and the one who is apt to be elected from Alabama and Geor- gia.
 "They may need" he added, "one or. two from South Carolina after 1s12.'
 He insists that the attitude of hini- self and associates on the negro ques- ton is misunderstood They do not care, he said, what republicans do with the negro in the west and north. even to sending negroes to Congress from out there if they care to, but they are determined that the southern negro who is, with few exceptions. too lacking in thrift and interest to register, and who is dead load to the republican party in the south, shall no longer keep up in helpless political bondage for the sake of palliating the negro vote north and vest %
 The convention resolved it's temporary organization into a permanent one and created a state executive committee. Ma tional Committeeman Capers delivered the keynote speech, which was in sub stance identical with the remarks he Is above quoted as having made before the conyention met.
 The state executive committee is as follows:
 Laurens.
 Vice chairman, I. H. Norris of York. Secretary D. H. Wallave of Union. ' The remainder of the state executive committee Is composed of three members from each of the seven congressional dis tricts.
 None but qualified electors may be members of clubs or delegates to con- ventions according to the platform adopted.
 The convention decided not to put out a ticket this year, but to nominate can didates for Congress in all seven South Carolina districts in 1912.
