 Indignation of the negro delegates was aroused several times during the debate when speakers referred to them as .nigger" freight handlers and then objection to such remarks was sus- tained by the acting chairman, James Duncan.

 The Jaw and order'' plank, members of the committee explained, was de- signed to fill the gap caused by over Whelming rejection by the resolutions committee of the proposal of William Allen White of Kansas for a plank specifically pledging enforcement of the Volstead law. MT. Whites plan- got only six or eight votes. Some pro- hibition workers were disposed to make a fight for the White plank in the con- vention, but it got nowhere, the move being opposed by Wayne B. Wheeler, general counsel for the Anti Saloon League of America.

 Drop Enforcement Clause
 As originally drafted for the resolu- tions subcommittee work, the law and order plank contained the follow ing clause. which was dropped out later:

Miss Estelle Campbell

On the 21st March, 1920 was call
ed from life of toll and service in
which she felt that the way of duty
is the way :of rest" She lived and
loved and labored for others well
knowing with Goethe that
REST is not quitting the busy career;
Rest is the fitting of self to ones
sphere,
"Tfs loving and serving the highest
and best;
"Tis onward, unserving-andt this is
true rest.
She was the daughter of William
and Catherine Lupo Campbell of the
Gaddy's Mill section of Dillon county
and leaves three brothers and one sis
ter to live, love and labor without her
Estelle Campbell took four of a
dead sisters children cared, for them,
raised and as best she could, educat-
ed them. The oldest one now Dea-
con in Piney Grove Baptist church
shows his training through his aunt
and strongly manifests those quail
ties going to make men clean, strong
manly men The others Of these chill
dren alike demonstrate their careful
training. The womanhood period of
this sanity cousin was without stint,
devoted to the loving care Of others
and that period of forty seven years
of love and labor was sweet and
tiustful in Him who said Come Un-
to Me, All Ye that Labor and are
Heavy Laden and l will Give You
Rest"
And we her mourning friends re.
joice in knowing her end and ex-
claim:
20 rest of rest; o peace, severe,
eternal,
Thou ever livest and thou changest
never,
And in the secret of thy presence
dwelleth,
Fullness of joy forever and forever
And soon to be joined in that par
adise of God by weak, devoted low
ing cousin.

MIR. l.. X. BETHEA
DIES FROM INJURIES.
Thrown From Buggy Thursday Night
He Died at Florence Sunday
Morning.

AS the result of injuries received
from fall from a buggy last Thurs
day night Mr.. l.. X. Bethea, we'll
known and highly esteemed farmer
of the Fork section, died at the Flor
ence Infirmary early Sunday morning.
Mr.. Bethea was returning TO his home
early Thursday night when without
warning the horse made sudden turn
into the avenue leading up to the
house and pitched Mr.. Bethea out of
the buggy. He was thrown out with
such violence that his spinal column
was injured. Paralysis followed and
being unable to move or to make an
outcry he lay upon the ground until
next morning
Mr.. Bethea was taken to the Flor
ence Infirmary Friday evening, but
he was so badly injured that nothing
could be done to save his life. He was
fully conscious of the seriousness of
his injuries and conversed freely with
friends while at the station awaiting
the arrival of the train that was to
take him over to Florence.
Mr.. Bethea was not a large far
mer, but he was one of the most sub
stantial planters in the county. He
farmed with wisdom and intelligence
and his lands were very productive.
He was a whole-souled man who
made friends every where he went,
and there are legions of people
throughout the county who will re-
gret to hear of his passing.
Mr.. Bethea was son of DR.. John
]. Bethea and was born in Mississ-
ippi 62 years ago. He was twice mar
ried. his first wife being a Miss Will
kins of Mississippi. The following
children were born of this union:
Mrs. Ruth West of Andrews, S. c.;
John Bethea, of Hamer; Percy b.
Bethea, of Mobile, Ala; Mrs. Rogers,
of Greensboro, N. c.; and Cecil Be-
thea, of Oklahoma. In 1898 Mr.. Be-
thea was married to Miss Hattie Rog-
'ers, daughter of Mr.. D. S. Rogers
of Free State, who with the follow
ing children survives him: Misses
Coline, Lucille and Hattie Lee Bethea,
and Benton and David X. Bethea, all
of Fork.
The interment was made at Fork
Monday, with Masonic honors, the
eulogy being delivered by Hon Jas.
Norton, of Mullins.
