The State.
Anderson, April 22.-Three more
bodies were recovered from the Sa-
vannah river of the party who were
drowned on April 4. Mrs. Lester
Waters, Miss Alice Meshine and Rob
ert Manning were found at Cade's
ferry, near Mt. Carmel, 20 miles be-
low Harper's ferry, where they went
down. 1t has been the opinion OF
many that the bodies would not be
found until the river rose again, as
they were covered with sand, and this
theory has been proved by the fact
that the river is up higher than it
was at the time Of the accident and
is now 12 feet above normal.

perfect the organization in the state.

the speakers at the May 5 convention
in Columbia will be Mrs. Cora D.
Mathis of Alabama, a large and sue

Mathis is very enthusiastic over the
American Cotton association.

from President Wilson to Jouett
Shouse, elected today as delegate-at-

tions as campaign issue, was read
to the convention. The President
wrote:
81 cannot help thinking that the
party is to be congratulated on the
fact that it has come to year of
exceptional opportunity and duty.
The issue which it will raise with the
voters of the country involves moth
ing less than the honor of the United
States and the redemption of its most
solemn obligations. It's obligations
to it's associates in the great war and
to mankind to whom it gave the most
explicit pledge that it went to war,
not merely to win a victory in arms,
but also to follow up that vict~ ~ with
the establishment Of such concert
of nations as would guarantee the
pern1anence of peace based on
justice"
Col. Sam Amidon, of Wichita, was
elected national committeeman by ac-
clamation.
The delegates-at-large are Mrs.
Caroline brennan, Arkansas City,
Jouet Shouse, Kinsley,; former Gov
ernor George H. Hodges, Clathe, and
R. w. Blair, Topeka.
The country must be prepared to
see the Democratic convention at
San Francisco nominate President
Wilson for third term, J. Hamilton
Lewis, former senator from Illinois,
told the convention in an address to-
night.
t'The country must be ready" he
said, ''to see the convention at San
Francisco put Wilson as it's candidate
before the nation as protest against
the treaty of peace being tortured
into the pack Of revenge on nations.
as licensce of murder of men, and
command for raids and invasions
upon oppressed and suffering peo-
ples."

FRANK SHEALY
QUITS CIGARS
22Calibre Bullet Explodes in After
Dinner Smoke.

Lexington, April 22.-It's no more
cigars for Hon. Frank w. Shealy,
the popular chairman of the South
Carolina Railway Commission. Here
after-or at any rate for a good
many days to come-Frank Shealy is
either going to smoke an old cob
pipe or cigarette when he smokes
at all. The chairman of the railway
commission is a staunch believer in
the movement to lower the high cost
of living, but this not altogether for
the reason for his cutting out cigars.
It came about this way: A day or
two ago Mr.. Shealy purchased cigar
made by a we'll known Tampa, Fla,
manufacturer from a we'll known
local dealer in Lexington for his
after-dinner smoke. For few min
utes everything went well, says Nj. Nj
Shealy; but the next second, Just as
the popular C.ss" s"iei was taking o {:
strong pull, there was mighty ex-
plosion, followed by a scream on the
other side of the room, and when
Mr.. Shealy came to his senses he
was minus a cigar. The cigar was
"loaded" with .22 caliber rifle bull
let, and the little missile had struck
the maid on the other side of the
room, barely missing Mrs. Shealy
who was sitting near her husband
The negro girl, however, was not in.

Neighbors rushed into the Shealy
home upon hearing the report Of the
cartridge.
Had the incident occurred couple
of years ago when the great worlc
war was on, there would not have
been anything said about it. said Mr.
Shealy, but the war IS over now, anc
it is time for such things as loading
CIGARS with bullets to cease.
Mr. Shaa,y reported the occurrence
to the man from whom he purchased
the cigar, at the same time present
