party members marked the proceed
ings of the convention, which formed a
permanent State organization, adopted
a State platform and nominated presi-
dental electors and candidates for
State officers.

DRINKS POISON By MISTAKE.
Little EpWOrth Orphanage Girl Dies
From CarbOlic Acid

Columbia, May 7.-Drinking a guam
tity of carbolic acid by mistake, lit
tie ten-year-old Hattie Heron, an in
mate of the Epworth orphanage, died
yesterday within three hours, the ac-
cident having been brought about by a
misunderstanding On the child's part
when instructed by Miss Robinson,
head nurse in the orphanage, to carry
the acid to another dormitory.
1t appears that Mrs. Rentz, matron
of one of the dormitories, had sent a
child to the hospital building, with in
structions to secure from Miss Robin
son a small amount of carbolic acid
The nurse was under the impression
that she did not have any of the acid
in the laboratory, and the child left
without it. A few minutes later she
discovered a small amount of the fluid,
and called Hattie Heron, who had
been assisting her around the hospital
building, and had at one time been
confined there with an attack of meas
les. and told the child to take this
over to Mrs. Rentz." Evidently the
child understood her to say that she
(Hattie Heron) was to take it internal
ly, for she stepped just outside
the door and drank the acid down. 1t
was only a moment until Miss Robin
son discovered what had really hap
pened, and she Immediately set about
to render succor to the little girl by
administering antidotes.
In addition to this, DR.. H. w. Rice
was called, and arrived at the scene of
the accident about 20 minutes later. A
stomach pump was brought into use
and everything possible was done to
alleviate the suffering of the little one,
but in spite of the heroic efforts she
died three hours later. Miss Robinson
is confined to her room, suffering from
a nervous breakdown. Naturally, the
sad affair has had it's effect on her,
and she is being treated with every
consideration by her numerous friends
at the orphanage.
Hattie Heron's parents were from
Fairfield county, and the little girl
has been an inmate of the institution
for the past five years. The Rev. w.
B. Wharton accompanied the body to
Monticello, where the burial took
place this afternoon.
This is the first accident that has
occurred at the EpWorth orphanage
since ten years ago, q little boy took

The NEXT BIG REUNION
GOES TO CHATTANOOGA
TENNESSEE TOWN WINS HONOR
OF HAVING NEXT MEETING.
Choice of COmmander-in.Ch Chief and
Grand Procession of Gray Heroes
Will Mark Close of Session.

Macon, Ca, May S.-The choosing OF
Chattanooga, Tenn, as the convention
city for 1913, the unanimous entnus-
iastic acceDtance of the invitation OF
Gen. TribbIe, commander-In-chlet OF
the G. A. R., to merge the blue and
the gray at Gettysburg in July to heal
all remaining sores Of the long strife
of the sixties, the croWning of Miss
Mary Scandrett, of Macon, as queen of
the 1912 reunion before 10000 people
on Coleman's hill and Georgia sun
shining over the city all day, featured
the third day of the Twenty-second an
nual reunion of the Confederate veter-
ans in Macon today.
All is in readiness for the two big
features of tomorrow, the election OF
a commander-in-chief to succeed the
late Gen. George w. Gordon, and the
long line of gray that will file through
wide and shaded strets Of Macon in
the annual parade of old and feeble
men who fought for the Confederacy
Sweeping Victory.
Chattanooga's victory in the fight
for the 1913 reunion was sweeping
over both Jacksonville and San An
tonic, coming at the close of rather
stormy session, although the uproar
which retarded the progress of the
convention was not altogether the out
come of the fight for the next meeting
place. 1t seemed impossible to keep
order and time and time again Gen.
Walker, who was presiding, had to
rap and shout for order before busi-
ness could go on. Even when he used
his Office to command he was disre-
garded, the deep drowning roar of a
thousand voices in conversation block
ing business continually. The vote on
the 1913 reunion was as follows:
Chattanooga, 1,O48; Jacksonville, sos,
and San Antonio, 476. The Tennes-
scans had been working hard and went
into the convention with the fight al
ready won.

on the floor Of the convention, direct
ing the opposition forces to those of
Capt Martin.
1t was his forces which County
Chairman Logan recognized On the ini-
tial question of temporary chairman,
turning the gavel over to Daniel l..
Sinkler, who, with other officer of
this faction, occupied the main table
on the stage, while Maj. J. W. Barn
we'll, the candidate of the Martin wing,
presided over the Martin clubs from
one end of the stage The Sinkler fac
ton contended that the BarnWell con-
vention participated in it's proceedings
at the beginning by voting On ques-
tons and specially on the motion
which provided for a recess pending
the report of the committee on creden-
tials, although later the Barnwell con-
vention or side of the hall received a
report of it's own committee and pro-
ceeded to dispose of its business, fin
ally adjourning before the Sinkler con-
vention reconvened.
When the convention was called to
order by Chairman Logan, the names
of Messrs. Barnwell and Sinkler were
put in nomination for temporary
chairman. The former was nominated
by George Won Kolnitz and the latter
by Mayor Grace. Chairman Logan de-
Icided that on the viva voce vote Mr..
Sinkler was elected. The Martin
forces demanded all aye and nay vote,
which Chairman Logan did not grant.
Mr.. Sinkler was escorted 10 the stage
and to him Mr. Logan turned over the
gavel. Hugh Ferguson was e'ecte?
vice president and Sydney Taylor was
made secretary.
The Martin men called upon NJ.
Barnwell to take his place and he
went up on the stage, followed by w.
j. Leonard as secretary of the Barn
well convention.
Held His Place.
Calls were made from the floor for
the police to eject Mr.. BarnWell, but
he had his position and the police
stood between him and the crowd on
the Sinkler side, who were demanding
that he retire.
Committees on credentials were ap-
pointed on both sides of the hall. The
Barnwell convention first reported,
seating 20 of the "a city clubs and
several of the county clubs" In
quick order the business of the Barn
we'll convention was disposed of.
While the motions were being put
Chairman Sinkler was constantly re-
minding his convention not to vote on
the questions as the convention had
not reconvened and Mayor Grace was
himself on the stage calling to his side
of the house to refrain from voting.
He completely dominated his side

CHARLESTON MEETING SPLITS.
Two Conventions Held, Martin Being
the Sole Issue-LOgan Recognizes
'AntiS".

Charleston, May 6.-Instead of one,
two conventions were organized here
this afternoon, both meeting in the
same hall, electing delegates to the
State convention, State executive COM
mitteemen, county chairmen and other
officers and neither taking any action
on State politics. County Chairman
w. Turner Logan's allusion to the
prospects of the Democrats eIecting a
president this year in his speech open
ing the convention constituting the
only reference to national issues.
The division was due to a strictly
local contest-that Of the shrievalty,
in which the delegates on one side of
the hall favored the reelection of Sher-
iff Martin and those on the other side
took the opposite position. 1t was one
OF the most exciting contests of the
kind that Charleston county has wit
messed, with the patrol wagon in front
Of the Hibernian hall and about 20
police officers directly under the COM
mand Of Chief Cantwell on the floor.
Pandemonium reigned at times but
fortunately there was no serious
breach of the peace and the two con-
Yentions held their sessions and
transacted their business, which
means that the State convention will
have TO pass on the question and de-
eide which faction of the party shall
be recognized.
Both Claim Legality.
1t was expected that the Martin fac
ton would control the convention, but
as things turned out the opposition
forces were not directly outvoted and
tonight both sides claim to have been
the legally authorized convention, and
the State will have to rule On the
question and perhaps go into full
Investigation of the whole situation.

Feed the Quail
State Will Pay

If the farmers of the county, or other
counties, whose farms are the homes
of covies Of quail. will feed the little
birds during this severe winter wealth
er when the deep snow covers most of
Bob Whites usual food supply, the
state of Iowa will pay the farmer for
the grain he gives the birds. Charles
Clark. deputy game warden of State
Center, authorized this statement this
morning.
All the Formally necessary is for the
farmer who intends to feed the quail
to notify the deputy that he intends to
do so. After the quail have been fed
during the period when they can not
themselves get food, if the farmer will
mail his bill to Mr.. Clark with the
proper sworn statement attached, the
bill will be forwarded TO State Game
and Fish Commissioner George E. Lin
coin, at Cedar Rapids, and will later
be allowed by the state.
Mr. Clark said that there were a
good many quail in the county and
they could easily be saved if the farm
ers would aid by feeding the little birds
during this weather when il is hard
for them TO get food. He said the pro-
vision TO repay the farmers for the
grain they use is contained in state
law on the subject.
