Messenger Gives Details of Plan
To Steal Marine Pay Roll

Augusta, Ga, July 3.--Authorities
here declared tonight that Ernest
Hart, a taxicab driver, w. j. Quattle-
baum, a farmer living six miles out in

Hart who is alleged to have been the
holdup man in express car, accom-
panied officers to where he said he
had buried his one-third of the money

had been stolen since he hid it or else
he had lost his bearings and could not

ed about $4,000.

All Efforts to Change
Platform Meet Defeat

San Francisco, July 2-The Demo-
cratic platform as framed in the reso-
lutions committee, declaring for the
peace treaty, expressing sympathy for
Ireland, and saying nothing at all
about prohibition, came unscathed
through a furious floor fight today
and was adopted without amendment
in great avalanche of applause.
w. j. Bryan let the fight for the
adoption Of his bone dry plank, but
it was buried after dramatic day
of debate by ma jority so overwhelm-
ing that he did not even ask for roll
calls on the four other minority re-
ports which he had prepared.
A cider, wine and beer plank, cham
pioned in an emotional speech by w.
Bourke Cochran. of New York. was
also thrown out/b ythe convention
along with the plank for recognition
Of the Irish republic backed by sew
eral organizations Of Irish sympathiz-
erS.
In the battle for the platform as
framed the administration forces were
led by Secretary Colby and Senator
Glass, Of Virginia, during debate
in which both sides stirred delegates
and spectators to repeated bursts OF
emotional enthusiasm. Mr.. Bryan got
a bowling demonstration of twenty
minutes after he concluded his speech
for the bone-dry plank, but when
the balloting began it became APP
parent that much of the enthusiasm
was a personal tribute to his past SER
vice to the party and not an express
sion OF sympathy with his present
views. With the platform adopted
the convention was up with its sched
ule and the voting on Presidential
candidates began.

Augusta Paper
Praises Mrs. Dillon
Hate to Lose Landscape Gar.
dener and Want Her Back
Again

The Woman's Club received re-
gretfully the resignation Of Mrs. Ju-
liza Lester Dillon as chairman Of con-
servation. and Augusta will most re-
gretfully give her up to Sumter and
will be glad to know that the move
is not a permanent one. Mrs. Dillon
is doing some wonderful work in
Sumter however, and work that will
require several months. She is plant
ing six acre Memorial park that
will be one of the most beautiful in
the country. She is doing over the
Court House grounds and planting
and doing landscape gardening on a
large scale generally in Sumter.
The people of Sumter are to be
congratulated, and they could not
have taken q wiser step if they want
their town made beautiful. Mrs. Dill
lon is a landscape gardener and an
artist, she can take the barest spot >of
ugly ground, and make it blossom
like the rose, and possibly few rea-
lize what a magnificent work she has
done in Augusta along the line OF
vegetable gardens, and influencing
the school children to plant their
school gardens. She is equally sue
cessful in both the beautiful and the
useful, and make the front yard to
bloom with roses and daisies, and the
back with potatoes and tomatoes
Augusta can not spare Mrs. Dillon
and it is hoped she will return to
make her home here within the year

Convention AdjOurns
After Two Ballots

San Francisco, July 3.--Just be-
fore the reassembling Of the conven-
tion this morning predictions were
made that the nomination would
come without a protracted struggle.
Just as Hardings name filled the air
as the probable republican nominee
on the final day of the republican
convention, so NcAdoo's appeared
I'm the ascendancy today, with the
difference that the Ohio candidate
had been agreed upon, while Nc
Adoo's supporters still had to fight
stubborn opposition with no definite
assurance OF success. The friends of
Palmer and Cox took into account
the reported McAdoo strength, but
expressed no fear that he could win
the nomination In the face of the op-
position of some of the party leaders.
Palmer and Cox men would con-
cede nothing. The McAdoo men ad-
united that their candidate had OPP
position, but pointed out that it was
not well organized.

That the dreaded boil weevil la
not making the headway in this coun-
ty that some farmers are wont to be-
lieve and which later reports from va
rious sections indicate, is shown in a
letter recently received by Solicitor A.
j. Hydrick of this city and written to
him by Prof. A. S. Conradi, chief ert-1
omologist of Clemson college.
The message came to Mr.. Hydrick
after he had sought the opinion OF the
college authorities regarding the &C.
tual visitation of the weevil in ti1ia
county and is accepted generally as
being the most authentic yet received
on this matter.
The letter follows: -
Mr. A. j. Hydrick, Orangeburg. s. Cs
Dear sir: We have your letter OF
gath in reference to the, possible t'oit.
weevil damage in Orangeburg county
in 1920. We have just completed one
infestation counts in the south era
part of the State and while there are
linfestations in some counties, and on
| certain fields that run as high as 35
| per cent. The weeviI was found to be
very scarce in your county. 1t occurs
in spots near woods and stumps and
waste places. The counts were mada
at Cope, Springfield and Orangeburg.
IF the weather in July is dry and
| hot the damage will be comparatively
light If the weather is moist and ia =
vorable to the weevil then the damage
of from 35 to 40 per cent may be- ex,
pected.
| There is always some risk with
wevil infested cotton but we would.
recommend that your farmers do ev-
erything possible to rush, the cotton
crop to maturity We would ther rec
ommend an application of nitrate of
Esoda to insure rapid growth, for ac-
cording to the present outlook the
prospects for cotton crop in your
county are very good as far as the
weevil is concerned. Yours very truly,
