Sixteen Hundred Lives are Lost

Miles into Depths Of Atlantic Ocean.

er make the trip around the
world in a we'll equipped war
ship than to cross the Atlantic in
a pas enger vessel. He also ex-
pressed the hope that laws reg
ulating the lifesaving equipment
OF vessels would be enacted.
From the latest dispatches re-
ceived on Thursday it is learned
that the Carpathia, the rescue
ship. arrived at the New York
harbor Thursday night. While
all the accounts of the tragedy are
very chaotic it is pretty certain
that the number of survivors can
be correctly estimated from the
number rescued by the Carpa-
thia. On board this ship when
1T steamed into New York we're
745 of the passengers on board
the ill-starred Titanic. If no
more are picked up or rescued by
other ships it will bring the total
number Of the lost to nearly
1900 persons. Among the miss
ing are such noted personages as
John Jacob Astor, Benjamin
Gugghnheim, w. T. Stead, Isa-
dor Straus and wife, Col Archi-
bald Butt and many other world
famous characters. Mrs. Isador
StrauS refused to leave her hus-
band and went down with the
vessel. Mrs. Astor arrived safe
ly IN New York and refuses to
give up hope that her husband
still lives, Stories Of great hero
ism on the part of the passen-
gers are being told by the sur
vivors. One man, Col. Oracle,
went down with the ship but
managed to stay afoat and sue
coed in reaching a life-raft and |
was picked up by the Carpathia.
He told of the matchless courage
exhibited by the men who died
and denied the report that there
was any panic aboard. 1t was
conclusively shown that the
officers of the Titanic knew of |
the danger, but in an effort 10
lower the record the speed of the
ship was never slackened. 1t is !
possible that a few more passan- !
gers may be picked up and thus
reduce the number Of those now
thought to be lost, but not much
encouragement is offered that
the list of the dead will be ma
terially decreased.

TIVE COMMITTEE MEETS.
District Conventions on May 18th to Sc.
lect Delegates.

Pursuant to the call issued
sometime ago by Chairman
Hartman the Democratic County
Executive Committee met at the
Courthouse on last Tuesday.
The Committee is composed of
the following gentlemen; G. w.
Maze, Sheridan district; S. H.
Wilson, Sherman district; w. H.
Jackson, Center district; G. w.
Hardman, Lee district and Bee
Hopkins, Washington district.
All the members of the Commit
tee were present in person ex-
cept G. w. Maze, who was de-
tanned at home on account of
sickness and whose proxy was
held By w. H. Jackson.
The call for the meeting was
read by Secretary r. E. Hays
and the Committee at once pro-
ceeded to business. 1t was or
dered that mass convention be
held in each of the several dis
tricts of the county for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to the
various State, Circuit and Dis
trict Conventions. In each of
these conventions Calhoun Coun-
ty will be entitled to IL votes and
the Committee apportioned the
number as follows: Sheridan,
Sherman and Center districts,
two delegates each; Lee and
Washington, three delegates
each. The time fixed upon for
holding the district conventions
is Saturday, May 25th at one
O'Clock p. m. In Sheridan the
convention will be held at
Brooksville, Sherman at Hen
rietta, Center at Courthouse,
Lee at Mouth Of Barnes Run and
Washington at Minnora.
The committee decided upon a
primary as the manner Of select
ing nominees for the county and
district officers, but the date was
not fixed upon and will not be
selected until the next meeting
of the committee. AS the Com
mittee does not meet again until
the 9th of May and as it has
been customary to give several
weeks notice Of the primary it is
not likely that the primary will
be held until some time in July.
The resignation of J. M. Ham
ilton as chairman of the Commit
tee was accepted and G. A. Jar
Wis was elected to fill the vacan-
cy. Mr.. Jarvis is no new hand
at the business, having success
fully steered the Democratic
ship in the campaigns of 1902
and 1904.
The meeting was attended
, by several candidates and
. prospective candidates and much
, interest was taken in the meet.
! ing by other Democrats. There
, was no strife or discord dis
, played and the committee is t.
3 be congratulated upon the har.
, monious manner in which it me-
, and acted. The signs all indi
cate Democratic success this yeai
and the prospects of an increased
majority in this county are brigh
indeed.

MAYOR ENTERS LAW CLASS.
w. III. Gibbcs Registers a. Student Of
University

Columbia, Sept. 1S.-W. II. Gibbes,
mayor Of Columbia, yesterday regis
tered as student Of the University OF
South Carolina, taking the law course.
Mayor Gibbes will pursue the same
studies as any other member OF the
junior law class.
Mayor Gibbes was formerly a stu
dent at Carolina. having attended the
institution in 1880. He was there for
one year as a special student. At that
time, owing to the small number Of
men at the college, the Euphradian
and Chariosophic societies did not
carry on their work separately but
combined for the time being under
the name of the Nameless Debatiu.,
society. Mayor Gibbes was president of
this organization. Later, the number
at the college increased and the two
societies again took up their individual
work.
Mayor Gibbes says that of course
his first duty is to the city OF Column
bia and that he may be compelled to
miss some classes but that he intends
to take the two year course with the
object of getting the LIB. degree
Being in charge Of the legal depart
ment of the city government, the
mayor thinks that the course will fit
him better for his work and be of
great assistance to him.
