ton, which was held at Joplin. adopted
the following instructions for the dele
gates at large to the democratic national
convention:
I'VE hereby specifically instruct the del
egates elected by this convention to the
democratic national convention to work
for Champ Clark and vote as a unit con-
tinuously for him as the nominee of said
democratic national convention for PreSi-
dent of the United States, and to use all
proper and honorable means to secure his
nomination
The following were named delegates at

United States Senator William ]. Stone,
United States Senator James A. Reed,
former Cows. A. M. DOckery of Gallatin,
Lon V. Stephens of st. Louis and David
r. Francis of st. Louis, William T. Kem-

ward F. Goltra was reelected 10y accla-
nation as national committeeman from

Representative Stephens of Nebraska
has come out for Champ Clark. He
said
The Nebraska presidential primary,
to be held April 10, is of great national
Importance, because of it's effects upon
other states. So far as the democratic
aspirants are concerned, there appear
to be only three who will have any
considerable following in Nebraska
Champ Clark, Gov. Harmon and Gov.
Wilson.
Il have picked Champ Clark. The
first and most important reason for
favoring Mr. Clark is his long and
faithful service in behalf of the people.
Ever since 1 have been a voter he has
been one of the wheel horses of the
party. He has kept faith with his party
while Gov. Wilson and Gov. Harmon
were bushwacking trying to elect re-
publican Presidents. Champ Clark has
worked at the wheel so long he has
the habit. He is safe and sane pro-
gressive that commands the confidence

Happenings Of a Week In and About the
Seyen-HiIIed city--Personals.

, Lowadesyille, June 3.-Miss Kate
Liddell, after spending a day or two
with friends in this place, went to her
Anderson home on Monday.
| One of our auto owners had rather
| a strange and unpleasant experience
in Georgia, a week ago. Mr.. Joe Gil
bert in his machine went over to
| Heardmont, carrying with him Mr..
Ira Bell and some others. In going,
a part of his load was left on the way
! to attend a school exhibition. The 9TH
ers went on, broke some part OF the
vehicle, stalled in a creek and had to
' get out in the water and push out
and had to leave the auto and get a
horse and buggy to come home in.
Those left on the road had to foot
it" back, several miles.
Mrs. J. H. Newton and little James,
Of Atlanta, came over to this place
Monday and were the guests till yes
terday, of Mr.. T. B. Holcomb and
family.
Mr.. A. N. Barnes went to Anderson
on Wednesday on business.
Mr.. T. C. Liddell went to the some
place on Thursday.
Messrs. Walter Wilson and Frank
Sherard, Of Lebanon, came up Thurs
day and were the guests Of Mr.. Joe
Gilbert and family till the next day.
A slow falling, needed rain, fell
here, and East and North of US. West
and South, a very hard and heavy
rain, which badly damaged the crops
and land. We did not have enough
rain Monday, but we had n We'd
nesday evening, which gave to vege-
ttation of all kinds much needed help.
: Decoration (Memorial) day, passed
unnoticed by our people, while the re-
mains of only a very few of the brave
men who sacrificed their all. even to
their lives, in the Lost Cause are
resting in the silent houses OF the
dead in this section, yet they ought
to have been remembered.
The Rural Mail carriers were re-
lieved Of duty as such, on above Gay
and each spent the day as pleased
him best.
Mr.. Joe Gilbert, owner and guide: OF
the auto, carried Mr.. and Mrs. E. J.
Huckabee, Magistrate ]. G. Huckatee
and Mr.. r. R. Jones to Anderson Fri
day.
Dir. Thomas Baskin, his mother,
Mrs. Jno. T. Baskin, and his sister,
Mrs. Eugene Clinkscales, left Satur-
day for Charleston, that they might
attend the commencement exercises

II Crumlin. Road, Belfast, Ireland

II Crumlin. Road, Belfast, Ireland
May p, 1912.
Mr.. R. E. Hill, Abbeville, S. C.
My dear Sir: Some one has kindly
sent me the christian Observer and
the "Abbeville Press and Banner"
which | received yesterday, and in
the latter of which 1 read, with ad-
miration and pleasure your able let
ter in defense of Mr.. Ismay.
l quite agree with your arguments,
which are the arguments of common
sense and common humanity. 1t is
perfectly plain from the reports of
survivors of the awful Titanic" dis
aster, that Mr.. Ismay did all he could
to save others, and, after doing that
and waiting till the last moment and
the last person within his reach was
put into the life boat, how was he
to blame if he tried to save himself as
we'll? Would he or any man be justi-
fed in sacrificing his life wantonly
and unnecessarily?
What good to anybody would his
death have been? Is the world not bet
ter to have him now alive and able
to pursue his shipbuilding and ship
ping industry than to know that he
was two miles down in the Atlantic
F.: ocean or floating a corpse on its sur
face? The thing does not admit of ar
! gument.
Personally, I not only think Mr.. Is
may was justified in saving his oWn
life. when that did not involve the
loss of anyone else's, but I am of
opinion that it would be well for both
/ England and America if men like W.
T. Stead had been saved even at the
cost of some of the women and chill
| dren. 1t is all very we'll and perhaps
very natural and very chivalrous to
say women and Children First" but
fail to see the wisdom or necessity
or justification of sacrificing more
valuable lives for less valuable.
Better that ten women and children
had been drowned than saved at the
cost of one life like Mr.. Stead's.
I wonder how Rayner and Smith
would have acted had they been in
/ Ismay's place.
1t is very easy for them,in the safe
ty of terra firma, to talk heroics, and
to bla ne a man who is doubtless as
humane and as brave as they, but
there is no real nobleness in such an
! attitude. I am glad, Therefore, that
you had the manliness md the sense
of justice to defend Mr.. 1smay from
the shameful and contemplate accu-
sation of either cowardice or selfish
: ness or inhumarity. and ] have no
doubt that many lat the large ma
, jority-of the readers of your letter
will say "well done!"
Yours very truly,
A. Fl. H. McMurty.

The Mines.

With a steadier spelter mar
ket the zinc ore market steadied
up also and the base range,
while not going any higher than
the previous week, did narrow
down to $50 to $57 with a much
smaller tonnage of the small
lots at the low base. The high
settlement was $50.
The market followed very
closely the same tactics as dis
played in the previous week.
The first part of the week was
very inactive. No attempts were
made to buy much ore. But as
the week wore on and the spell.
ter market apparently rose stead
lily more activity was noted until
by Saturday most of the sales
had reached a level of SIS to $s7,
at which point the market closed
very firm. From some of the
buyers there was an unlimited
demand at 4 price of $54, the
buyers taking all the ore that
was offered at that price.
The situation last week is
showing a very grave outlook
