OPTED BY TENNES-
SEE REPUBLICANS

Following is the platform adopted
by the republican state convention
at is recent meeting in Chattanooga
s"The republican party of the
state of Tennessee, assembled in
representative convention, reaffirms
its unyielding devotion to the consti-

the guarantees of civil, political and

It will will resist all attempts to

we oppose as the best national safe

"The republican party re-erlpha-

eve favor the repeal of the law
enacted at the last session of the
legislature known as the public utili-

those upon which the safety of per-

recognize that under the conditions
now existing, violence may be done
to those principles which are funda-

liberty of the press and upon the

TEXAS COMMITTEE
WORKS OUT COST
Some Valuable Data as to Cotton
/ Crop.

NfCP.
What does It cost to produce
pound of cotton? That question is
regarded as essential when the mat
ter of price fixing is approached.
Commissioner Harris says that the
costs vary, of course, according to
the use of fertilizer, cost Of labor,
etc., but he considers that the mat
ter has been figured very intelligent )
ly, for a basis of comparison, by a
committee of Texas farmers under
direction of the commissioner OF ag-
riculture of that state. The follow
ing is summary of the accounts
kept by the farmers, more than 100
of them, each one reported to be q
successful, reliable and very intelli-
gent man:
"The cost of producing the 1920
cotton crop has been kept by farm

ton with the department of agricul-
ture of Texas, on blanks prepared for

any questions on the Irish or other
subjects.
"That's why Pm here and not on
my front porch" the governor said.
A man asked about the Newberry
election case in Michigan and Gov
ernor Cox said that Senator Newber-
ry was convicted "of buying his seat
in the senate by Republican judge
and jury"
eff Newberry had not sat in the
senate" the governor added, eve
would have had the league of nations.
If he had not been put on the senate
foreign relations committee by Hen
ry Cabot Lodge, the senate would
have ratified the league with helpful
and not emasculating reservations.
The. governor reiterated that he
would accept reservations which
would "help, clarity and reassure,
but not those which emasculate OF
nullify," and cited reports of sub
mission by Poland of dispu es to the
league and by Sweden and Finland
of the Aland island controversy as
evidence of the leagues success"

age without a scratch.
That Governor Cox escaped injury
was due, it was said, to delay II a
conference with the Prescott recep-
ton committee. J. j. Sinnett, repre-
sentirg the Democratic national COM
mittee on the campaign trip, and
Chairman Norris of the Prescott
committee were en- route to the prl-
vate car to get the governor to go

reception committee was riding, when
the crash came. Most of those bruised
or cut were on the forward coach.
Spreading Rails Cause.
The railroad track was torn up for
distance of from 800 to 400 feet.
Railroad officials were unanimous in
declaring that spreading rails under
the two heavy locomotives and ua-
usually heavy steel equipment caused
the wreck. The line is not a main
artery, but a branch Of the Santa Te
system, and the rails, it WAS said,
were rot Of the heaviest type. \
rumor was current among the farm
people ard others who gathered soon
after the wreck that 4 man had been
seen running along the road beside
the track just before the train left
the track, but the rumor lacks con-
tirmation and was not credited by
Governor Cox, members of his party
or railroad operatives

DEMOCRATS URGED
TO SAVE PARTY
State Executive Committee Issues
Strong Appeal for South Caro-
linians TO Give Aid.

South Carolina Democracy is l:eing
asked to rally to the cause Of Cox
and Roosevelt and unless ;nany dol.
lars come in the golfers from the
Palmetto state in the next Is days
the party will face disaster, leaders
say. Joe Sparks, assistant national
treasurer, in a speech before the
state Democratic executive commit
tee yesterday, asked every commit
tee man present to 90 hack home and
begin in earnest the tight'to put Cox
and Roosevelt across. eff the Re-
publican party wins The November
election, the Democrats will De prac-
ticaliy dead thereafter for those
Northern professional politicians are
going to ram everything down our
throats to crush out our life," MI.
Sparks said.
Mr.. Sparks said he would go Gov
ernor Cox one better in the charge Of
"slush funds" 81 say they are going
to raise s5O,oO0,00o to buy the cleo
tion and maybe s100,000,0o0 if
necessary" Mr.. Sparks added.
Thomas P. Cothran of Greenville,
Gen. NJ. L. Bonham Of Anderson and
others heartily indorsed the words of
Mr.. Sparks.
The committee passed the mani:
festo calling upon Democrats in every
corner of the state, from the re-
motest mountain shack to palatial
homes, to support the party by send
ing in their subscriptions to the ma
tionai campaign fund. Below is The
manifesto:
"The Democratic party finds itself
in the middle Of presidential cam
paign with it's treasury practically de-
pleted. The success Of the Democratic
ticket in November depends now on
the amount of money which will be
raised in the Southern states. The sit
uation, according to advices from the
national committee, is critical.
ga considerable sum is needed. by
the national committee to pay the le-
gitimate expenses Of the national
election. This money must be raised
in South Carolina, and other South
ern states within the next 80 days.
eff the money is not raised IN a
very short time, the Democratic party
will face actual disaster. Gov. James
NJ. Cox is making a magnificent fight
against the Republican party.
"We, the members of the state ex-
ecutive committee Of the South Caro-
lima democracy, feel that it is the
duty of every white man and every
woman in South Carolina to come
Immediately to the aid Of the party.
We wish to urge IN just as sCfohg
language as possible that every good
Democrat of the state immediately
make contribution to this cause.
''It is the sense of the state DEM
ocratic executive committee that all
party leaders in the state immediate
ly assist in the organization of their
counties for the purpose Of personal
ly soliciting every Democrat to give
his just share Of this campaign fund.
at is the opinion Of the state ex-
ecutive committee that the 3oo,ooo
white men and white women of
South Carolina should give not less
than 100000 to help in this noble
cause"

Mrs. Ola c. Floyd Takes Oath AS
Member Board of Health-Oath
Administered by Miss Maggie
Thomasson.

The city of Newberry now has a
woman official, the first in our his
tory, the first woman to be appointed
to Office, exclusive Of the Office OF
notary public, in Newberry county,
and perhaps the first woman member
of a board of health in South Caro-
lima. This distinction has come to
Mrs. Ola C. Floyd, wife of Mr.. l..
w. FLOYD, one of the leading business
men II Newberry. Mes. Floyd was
appointed to take the place ce ,,tr.
John Nj. Einard, who reE"sr.ed Il few
days ago.
Mrs. Fioyd's appointment was an
nounced by Mayor E. S. Blease at
! the meeting of council on the night
of the 18th instant and the appoint
| ment was unanimously confirmed by
the aldermen. In making the ap-
pointment, Mayor Blease stated that
he was of the opinion that it would
/. be good thing for Newberry to have
lady on the board of health for the
women were perhaps more interested
in making Newberry healthy town
than many of the men. He further
said that Mrs. Floyd had for years
taken an active interest in health
matters in Newberry and had given
much of her time to the work Of the
Red Cross and the county health unit,
and in the influenza epidenics her
leadership and assistance had been
most valuable. The members Of
council expressed themselves as be-
p, ing much gratiied at the selection
the mayor made.
Mrs. Floyd was sworn IN Wednes-
day, the 22nd. She took the oath of
office before Miss Maggie Y. Thomas
son, Newberry's first woman notary
public, and her commission was de-
livered to her by Mayor Blease.
Mrs. Floyd was somewhat amused
when she read the oath she was re-
quired to take which contains the
clause to the effect that she has
never engaged in a duel and promis-
ing that she would not engage in cne
during her term of Office. Mrs.
Floyd has never taken any active IN
terest in the work of the sutfrag;sts;
she believes, however, that women,
along with the men, have work to
do for the betterment of their COM
munities and is actively Interested in
the work of the Civic league of New
berry, the schools and health mat
ters. She stated that she had no an
nouncement to make as to what she
proposed to do as a member OF the
board of health, but that she intended
to study the rules of the board and
the health laws and she expected to
do the best that she could as men,
Der of the board.
DR.. R. L. Mayes is chairman of the
board of health. He was one Of the
few persons whom Mayor Blease
consulted as to the appointment of
Mrs. Floyd and forthwith agreed
that no better appointment could be
made. The other members of the
board are DR.. T. w. Smith, DR.. G.
K. Hutchinson and Mr.. A. NJ. Daniel
sen, and these gentlemen welcome
the new appointee.
