WILSON WINS
"'' FIRST FIGHT
GLASS, UNANIMOUS CHOICE OF
CONVENTION, HEADS COM"
MITTEE ON RESOLUTIONS

San Francisco, June 28.-By the
unopposed choice of Senator Glass, OF
Virginia, as chairman of the resolu-
tons committee, which will draft the
platform of the Democratic national
convention and the selection Of Sena-
tor Joseph T. Robinson, of Arkansas,
for permanent chairman Of the con-
vention, administration forces dem
onstrated tonight that they were in
complete control of the convention
machinery.
Any planks which VIM. j. Bryan
may desire to have inserted in the
platform and which fail to pass ap-
proval of the resolutions committee,
will therefore, have to be brought
into the convention with the endorse
ment of only a minority report.
Senator Robinson is accounted a
thorough going administration man
and he will be welding the gavel when
any attackes are made on the admin
istration program.
These two developments, demon
strating the control of the admins
tration forces, while not lessening the
chances of fight on the floor of the
convention, were pointed out by the
administration forces as evidence that
they had the convention in hand and
in support of their predictions that
they would carry it through to the
end.

Bennettsville Police Resign

Bennettsville, June 30.--The police
force of Bennettsville has resigned in
body, the designations having been
filed on June %, accepted on June 20,
to take effect July l. This action
on the part of the police officers is
not due to any friction between the
police officers and the mayor and al
dermen, but grew out Of the result
of a trial in the mayors court on
June % when Mr.. N. w. Edens had
been brought before the mayor on a
charge of speeding and asked for a
trial by jury and the jury acquitted
him, returning a verdict of not guilty.

Be 4 Winner.


A great many Of the nominees have
not as yet gotten into the race for
these four valuable prizes offered by
The County Record, or at least they
have not made a personal report or
personally gotten in touch with The
County Record Contest Department.
The nominators, as well as the man
agement OF this paper, will be very
much disappointed if the nominees
do not show keener apr eciation Of
the unusual opportunity 20 win these
valuable prizes. To go in and win the
's725 Ford Touring Car now will mean
an earning of $40 a day, and win
ners of the other prizes will realize
vastly more than they would earn at
any other work, besides the prestige
of being a winner. Everybody loves
winner.
Not Too Late to Enter
Decidedly it is not too late to enter,
for the race is just in its first stage,
and by taking advantage Of the "Op-
portunity Coupons" anybody can easi-
ly jump into the front ranks. The
first 35 subscriptions, or rather the
first $3.50 turned in on subscription
business before 2 p. NJ, Tuesday,
July 9Th, will give the candidate 50O,-
900 Extra Votes, plus the regular
votes.
All it needs is a DETERMINATION
TO WIN, a feeling that you are just
as capable as anyone else in the list
of competitors to get subscriptions to
The County Record, one of the very
best small city papers in the State of
South Carolina, and but $3.50 the
year.
Why 1t Leads
The County Record believes in adj
certising-and this big subscription

ventising. The County Record quiet

Glass Heads Committee.

Auditorium, San Francisco, June
Ex-senator Carter Glass, Of Vir-
ginia, was unanimously elected chair
man of the committee on resolutions
when the committee met for organi-
zation tonight. There was no opposi-
ton. Senator Walsh, of Montana,
seconded Senator Glass nomination
for the craftsmanship.
The first test of strength proved
the claim of the administration forces
that they were in control of the situ-
alton and they contended it forecast
further control in the framing of the
platform. Senator Walsh was under
stood to have the backing of VIM. j.
Bryan.
Senator Walsh had been urged for
the chairmanship by a group headed
by Western delegations. They aban-
doned the fight when canvass of
the committee revealed a majority
against them. With the choice of a
chairman, the committee turned at
tention to the discussion of methods
to hasten its work.
Quinn Nominates.
P.B. Quinn, of Rhode Island, placed
Senator Glass in nominations Mr..
Glass made a brief speech accepting
the place after which the committee
authorized the appointment Of COM
mittee of nine to hold public hearings
for those desiring to present various
planks and party issues and to pre-
pare a tentative draft of the party
platform.
Senator Glass was not prepared to
name the subcommittee to wrok on
the platform at once and plans went
forward for the full committee to
hear some of those who had suggested
blanks to offer.
In supporting Senator Glass NOM
nation, Senator Walsh said that while
he had been a candidate for the chair
manship, he felt he could do his party
a greater service by withdrawing in
favor of Mr.. Glass. Mr.. Walsh, &C
cording to reports Of the secret ses-
sion, also stated that his candidacy
had been based solely on a desire to
render party service.
Senator Walsh, of Massachusetts,,
was elected secretary of the commit
tee.
Speakers were limited to ten min
utes and no one subject could be rep
resented by more than three persons.
The subcommittee appointed by
Chairman Glass to draft the platform
follows:

CORN MEAL RUNS
FLOUR A RACE
ABOUT AS CHEAP NOW TO EAT
BREAD MADE FROM FLOUR AS
FROM CORN, BUT SOME
PREFER THEIR PoNE.

"By June corn will be selling for So
a bushel," predicts J. F. Weinmann, of
the J. f. Weinmann Milling Company.
"The recent government report show
ed the mills about out, and the re-
serve supply is small. The farmers
have sold most of their crop, or been
forced to feed it in order to bring their
stock through the extremely hard
winter they have had in the North.
The J. F. Weinmann Milling Com
pany manufactures largely corn pro-
ducts and its Boss and Cream brands
of meal are standards in this terri
tory, hence Mr. Weinmann is well
qualified to talk on subjects which
are connected with the great Amer
lena cereal.
The demand for corn meal is rath-
err dull at present, according to Mr.
Weinmann, but he adds:
t'Wait until the furnishing season
opens
by ILLS MT. MeIHHldiu lHulCdl0S
that there are people who prefer corn
to wheat flour when it comes to pro-
viding themselves with the staff of
life. With the present price of corn
and wheat, there is little difference
in the cost of bread manufactured
from either, hence the consumer has
the right to chose according to the
dictates of his appetite, and the fact
that corn meal is selling at all is pos
tive proof that as part of the diet
of citizens, the corn product has
many converts.
It is largely share troopers that are
supplied by the country stores, they
being furnished with their food and
the merchants taking mortgage on
the crop that is to be raised. These
people really prefer corn bread, and
it is amazing how much of it they con.
sumo in year. It would keep dozen
mills larger than any in the state, run
ming night and day, every day of the
year, and then large portion would
have to be imported.

and to increase its field by establish
ing branch house in Shreveport. The
hardware stock in the local store has
been disposed of to the Zones Bros.

move it Immediately TO its ware

look after the Louisiana, Texas and

The Hollis Company has been hand
ling hardware but a year, and has es-
tablished big trade in it, but the
mill supply business has grown SO
rapidly that the directors came to the
conclusion that it was better to cen
tralize the business, and as soon as
the decision was reached, a good price
was offered for the hardware stock,
and accepted
Roofing will still be handled by the
Hollis company, it being considered
a mill supply, and the company having

The Hollis company began business
