CONVENTION TIME
BARELY ONE HOUR
Massachusetts, Senator Made Perma.
nent Chairman Without Contest.
Chauncey Depew Speaks.

Chicago, June 9.-Second day pro-
ceedings of the Republican national
committee, lasting barely an hour
and dealing entirely with routine,
moved as smoothly and swiftly today
as hoop rolling down hill.
There was a shout Of approval
from the delegates as they adopted
the report of the committee on per-
manent organization, by which Sem
ator Lodge of Massachusetts, was
made permanent chairman, which
considerably shortened the work and
cut out lot of speechmaking. The
convention gave it's presiding officer
a big demonstration.
The report of the committee on
credentials, over which some dele
gates had expressed a fight, was pre-
sented and adopted without fut-
ter, as was the report of the rules
committee, which gives women repre-
sentation on the. national executive
committee.
With no report from the makers
of a platform, the crowd was ready

first for Chauncey NJ. Depew Of New
York, veteran of many convention
battles. 1t cheered Justify as DR..
Depew turned his oratorical weapons
on President Wilson, and especially
when he declared that in the old days
when Washington found it necessary
to deal closehand with foreign pow
ers, he stayed on the job at home
and sent the chief justice as his
emissary.
There were scattering cries from
floor for other speakers, but Chair
man Lodge, to give the convention a
sensation, presented Mrs. Margaret
Hill McCarter of Kansas, the first
woman ever accorded the privilege
of addressing it. She was thrilled bv
the warmth of the greeting, and in a
brief address pledged the loyal sup
port of millions of women voters to
the Republican cause.
Calls for other men high in the
ranks of the party, including For
mer Speaker Cannon, who was not
present. were ended quickly as the
convention adopted Senator Wads-
Worth's motion to adjourn until to-
morrow at II o'clock.

COMMENCEMENT DANCE
DELIGHTFUL AFFAIR

The old sombre building, which we
used to know as the old court
house," but which of late has been
called the "home of the Newberry
county post" was the scene of love
ly dance on Tuesday night when the
Legion's commencement dance was
given.
Every detail had been carefully
worked out to make the dance a big
success and the entertainment COM
mittee deserves great credit for the
occasion and in addition to making
all arrangements they were on hano
to extend a greeting to the home folk
and to the many visitors who came
for the dance.
The old court room has been trans.
formed into a modern and we'll ap'
pointed hall, with a floor laid es-
pecially for dancing and athletic
events. The whole aspect of the
place seems changed and with the
added decorations the rooms were
especially attractive.
Fully 800 people attended the
dance and those who did not "trip
the light fantastic" enjoyed the
music furnished by the Garber-Davis
orchestra and the sparkling punch
and tasty sandwiches came in fol
their share of attention.
This dance was great success
from every standpoint and the loca
post is being highly complimented on
the way in which they conducted this
dance and the enjoyment which il
gave to those who attended.

GOVERNOR COOPER
WILL GIVE DINNER
Prominent Men Invited-'Do 1t for
South Carolina" Slogan Will Be
Stressed by Speakers.
News and Courier.

News ana courier.
! Columbia, June 8.-Governor Rob-
ert A. Cooper is inviting prominent
men throughout the State to attend
"Do it for South Carolina" dinner
in Columbia on Monday evening,
June IA. His expectation and that
of the other members of the State
committee in charge Of the expansion
campaign of the South Carolina De-
velopment board is to bring together
the most representative gathering of
the forward-looking men of. the
State that has ever been assembled
at one place and time, for the invl-
tations are going to the men who
have volunteered to take the leader
ship in the ten districts and forty-six
counties which are the units of the
campaign.
Acceptances already received indi-
cate that in character the dinner will
be notable. No one Of the many in
terests of the State has been omit
ted. and the representation of the
farmers will be especially strong. In
the arrangement of the program for
the evening the same thought has
controlled in order that each of the
prominent groups of interests Of
South Carolina may have a spokes-
man. IL addition to South Carolina
men there will be one or more speak
ers Of rational reputation from 9TH
er States.
The Governor in his letter of in
vitatior refers to several reasons for
an assembly to consider how to 'Do
it for South Carolina" at this time.
Among other things he says:
"Witkin the past two weeks the
press associations have carried to the
world statement given out by the
Russell Sage Foundation which rates
our State at the bottom of the list
of all States and our insular posses
sions as to advancement in its edu-
cational system. This standing of
South Carolina has been widely COM
mented on-and it is not a helpful
piece of advertising.
"What shall be South Cardinals
answer? A most fitting one would
be that the far-seeing and public
spirited men of our State have vol
UNFAIRLY united and pledged a quar-
ter of a million Of dollars to do the
things that are necessary to remedy
educational and other conditions that
may be blocking our way to progress,
and then to furnish to the world cor
rect information as to our resources
and achievements"

HOW TO DO THINGS
SHOWN BY TWO MEN
Newberry's Superintendent of Water!
and Lights on the Job With Com
gresham From This District.

Superintendent Homer w. Schun,-
pert, of the Newberry Water and
Lights plant, got tired of being held
up by the railroads and other draw
backs, and after two weeks of watch
full waiting concluded to get busy on
his own initiative. Believe us, when
Superintendent Schumpert deter
mines to act, it is firm and set de-
termination, as "Schump' doesn't
sit on the fence and waver. Wishing
to see results accomplished without
further unnecessary delay he wired
the following: Al
Newberry, S. c., May 81, go.
Congressman Fred H. Domlnick,
Washington, D. c.
Please be advised drinking water
.Newberry getting scarce. Standplpe
only two-thirds full. Shortage grows,
regardless fact well still good and
present machinery running continu-
ously. April % we ordered small
pump for new well, but United Iron
Works Co., Kansas City, Mo-, in
forms railroad embargo delaying
them in shipment. Hence we are
appealing to you to wire at our ex-
pense relative to having railroad
rush machinery here.
H. w. Schumpert, Supt.
Everybody knows that Congress
man Dominick is quick on the trigger
in matters of public interest. As
busy as he is always kept he never
hesitates to take hold of a request.
He acts promptly and generally gets
what he goes after. No congressman
can get ahead of him in efforts to re-
lieve any situation to which his at
tention is called. 1t was, therefore,
no surprise to Mr.. Schumpert to re-
ceive the following prompt reply from
our active representative:
Washington, June l, 20.
Mr.. H. w. Schumpert, Supt. Water
Works Dept, Newberry, S. G..
Your wire. Have taken matter up
with interstate commerce commission
who wired. their. representative at
Kansas City that railroad should
handle pump and to urge prompt
shipment of same. Upon receipt Of
report from commission representa-
tive at Kansas City will wire you
further.
Fred H. Dominick.
Superintendent Schumpert knew
that Congressman Dominick, would
get behind the right parties and push
matters. Our alert congressman has
a habit of at once making a bee line
for the objective. That he was sue
cessful in this issue will be shown by
a wire Superintendent Schumpert
received from the United Iron Works
company under date of June 8, in
the following language:
Relative to your No. 10 pump,
will say that we received telephone
inquiry from the interstate railway
commission and gave them full data
on the shipping and routing of your
pump, and will hope to hear that it
has reached you by this time.''
This pump is for the little we'll on
the power house lawn.
On Monday, the 7th instant, the
commissioners of public works and
Mayor, Blease gave Superintendent
Schumpert permission to order a
large pump for the new well near the
old knitting mill. The quick-witted
superintendent wired Immediately
the same day and promptly received
information that the company has
agreed to ship, in four weeks from
that date, everything except the elec-
trio motor, which Mr.. Schumpert is
trying to locate elsewhere.

Harding and Coolidge

Tho two names which the Republican
national convention linked together last
June in Chicago, are apparently destined
to continue their close association during
the administration Of four years to begin
on March next Certainly since the pros
identiai election last month Harding and
Coolidge have been In close touch with
each ether. The announcement fror,
Marion by Prosndcnt.clec Harding thSt
Calvin Coolidge rs Nce-president NJ tho
United States is tn cit as an ax-oHicio
member of his ca5inst of official advise, >
may prove to be so taking proposition
as to become a precedeot for future ei
! ecutivcs.
Most sons and daughters of Vermont
viii naturally unite In the opinion that
he Harding administration will be the
distinct gamer from the presence Of Gov
crnor Coolidge in tho cabinet. and Massa-
chusetts would doubtless join the Green
Mountain State In that position. How
ever. It is well to note how the PROPOSE
ton Is viewed by other commemorative
that speak from an entirely disintcrested
point of view. The Times Of Troy, N. Y,
sums up this matter thus:
! 1.-THE confab Of Messrs. Harding and
! Coolidge at Marion Is one of the best
signs of the times. The magnanimous
recognition by the President-elect that
there were two names on the national
ticket. and the wise assurance that the
vice-president will sit in the circle of cab
met advisers. will be observed with
pleasure by every American Senator
Harding evidently interprets the verdict
OF the people that they do not desire te
see personal government in the White
House. The Office OF President was never
intended to be that Of an autocrat. but
as Its name implies. a presiding officer ir
federal union. What would be thought
OF the fidelity of a President In his re
