COUNCIL ROCK
BY IzoLA FORESTER.


Something had happened to the ca
noe as they tried to ride the smaller
rapids. Creston said afterward he
thought some hidden snag had ripped
q hole large enough to start a leak,
and 1t had been twilight then, too
dark to notice until they felt the water
In the bottom of the canoe.
There had been no real danger, he
kept assuring her after he had beached
the boat, and they stood on the tall
spur Of gray rock In the middle of the
silent river. They would be missed
at the cottage by dinner time, and of
course Barclay or some of the others
would put out to the rescue In the
motorboat.
In the meantime they could build a
fire on the rock as a signal and take
things easy. There was nothing to
worry about.
Dorothy was silent as he talked. She
knew how Connie would say she had
managed the whole affair cleverly. 1t
had been her mothers pride the way
she had married off her four girls to
wealthy men. The lovely Warnings, they
called them-Evelyn, Winnie, Phyllis
and Dorothy-and only the youngest
remained.
She wondered If Creston suspected
that he had been selected by her moth
er as the man whom she was to marry.
He was SO easygolng, so careless, ap-
parently. that she doubted whether he
would even care. And yet it seemed
as If he had followed them down the
coast with deliberate intent in his
yacht. and had taken the cottage at
Palmetto Beach so as to be their next

around her as they waited. There
would be Granger, of course 1t was
his boat.
Listen, dear" he said softly; 'it
can't make much difference to you, and
It would be everything to me If you'd
Just kiss me once before they come.
1t would mean that you did care a
little bit, and that somebody believed
in me, don't you know, and the money
made no difference. Could you, Dot
just One?"
And quite against all the principles
of the Waring training, Dorothy turned
her face to him, the tears wet on her
cheeks as she kissed him.
Just two weeks later the Dolphin
slipped into harbor at Port-au-Prince
on its way southwark bound on
honeymoon cruise The youngest War
fnE had married for love.

HOOVER'S NAME
FINALLY BARRED
Subcommittee Stands
Bv Decision He Must
Qualify

ATLANTA, March 18.-Six out of
seven members Of the sub-commit-
tee of the state Democratic commit
fee met in Atlanta Wednesday and
decided that the name of Herbert
Hoover should not go on the ballot
in the preferential primary unless
he qualified "as a valid member Of
the Democratic party in both state
and national politics"
No announcement had been
made of the purpose of the sub-com-
mittee to hold the meeting, and 1t
was only by accident that the news
paper men learned that the members
had been summoned by Secretary
Hiram Gardner AS late as IL
O'Clock in the morning. and even at-
ter several members of the commit
tee had put in appearance, Chairman
Flvnt denied that meeting had been
called and explained his appearance
in Atlanta on the ground that he was
here to look after case in the fed
eral court.
1t was, not until after he learned
that it was definitely known that the
members of the subcommittee had
been summoned by telegraph that he.
would admit that a meeting had been
called. Then after several informal
caucuses among the members and al
ter the six members present had held
a secret session of about an hour IN
one members room in the klmball
House, they adjourned down to the
parlor floor of the hotel and went
Lfu.,uL +Lo Saa,, blopna of a pIlhlip
meeting.
Statement Given Out.
Following the meeting an official
statement was prepared by the com
mittee and handed to the press. 1t
follows;
"At a meeting of the subcommit-
tee of the State Democratic Execu-
tive Committee, held at the Kimball
House this day, the following men,
bers were present: Messrs. ]. j.
Flint, chairman; Hiram L. Gardner,
secretary; H. H. Dean, Fermor Bar
nett, J. H. Miner, T. H. Parker.
"The subcommittee proceeded to
canvass the replies from the State
proval or disapproval of the action of
the subcommittee as to its request
upon Hon. H. c. Hoover to qualify
under the rules, before putting his
name on the ticket for the presiden-
tial preference primary to be held
April goth.
"Replies had been received from
56 members of the total of 76, of
which 48 expressed their unqualified
approval of the subcommittee ac-
tion, eight express their disapproval
of that action, and notice was taken
of expressions through the news
Americus times-recorder., 1920-03-18

papers of disapproval of two other
members, leaving 18 members un-
heard from in any way.
'The rules adopted by the State
Democratic Executive Committee IN
1918, which at the present time are
binding on the subcommittee (Sec-
ton 5, Page 81 are as follows:
"'No person shall be deemed
candidate in said primary unless he
is legally qualified to hold the office
for which he announced, is valid
member and adherent of the Demo
cratic party, in both state and ma
tional politics
Rule the Standard.
"This same rule has been stand
ard one since the organization of the
Democratic white primary in Geor-
gia. In view of this fact, and of the
replies from large majority of the
State Executive Committee, the sub
committee could see no necessity at
this time of requesting the calling to-
gether of the State Democratic Exc
cutive Committee, and inasmuch as
Mr.. Hoover has, under the rules, un-
til IL o'clock (noon) of April 1st,
1920, to qualify as a Democrat and
have his name placed on the prefer
ential primary ballot, the committee
on motion adjourner, subject to the
call of the chair.

'eHIRAM l.. GARDNER,
Secretary"
Chairman Flynt announced that he
had called the meeting for the pur-
pose of disclosing the result of his
QUESTIONABLE poll of members of the
whole committee. He said that out
of the rs members of the whole
committee, Sc replies had been re-
ceived; that 48 endorsed the action
of the subcommittee that opposed
it and that 20 members had not yet
been heard from.
