crisis In American history, when the
one hope of the democrats lay in fol-

a wild scrambling to gain control OF the
steering wheel, and the machine crashed
against the rock of slavery.
Long before the delegates gathered
ton, s. c., April, 1860, irreconcilable
party factions had arisen. President
Buchanan and Douglas, were bitterly
estranged north and south were split
over the question of Popular Sover-

southern city in fighting mood. The
"Hards,p as they were called, main
tanned that neither Congress nor terri
torial legislatures had q right to forbid
the introduction of slavery into terri
tories; whereas the ".Softs," of whom
Douglas was the leader, held that the
people Of territory might decide
through their legislature whether or not
slavery should be permitted. The diff.
ference was too vital to permit of com
promise.
Administration leaders defied prece-
dent by giving the convention to a city
in the far south, hoping to profit by
southern sentiment, which, of course,
was totally opposed to any weakening
on the slavery question. The delegates
reached Charleston in an unseasonably
hot spell, which further aggravated
ruff1ed tempers. Friction among the
politicians crowding the hotel Hobbies

erners were determined that Douglas,
with his Popular Sovereignty" shib-
boleth, should not be nominated. Friends
of the Little Giant" were no less. set
upon his leadership.
1t was in this spirit that the demo-
Gratis assembled for final test of
power. Douglas real strength was soon
evidenced when the Soft delegates
from New York and Illinois were seat
ed, and the 'Hards" excluded, causing
murmurs of threatened bolt among
dissatisfied southerners. They waited,
however. until Douglas had once again
proven himself the most powerful of
the democratic politicians by securing
the adoption Of Popular Sovereignty"
platform in the face Of all the OPPOSE
ton the south could muster.
No additional evidence of the control
Of the "Softs" was needed. One by
enc, the southern states withdrew
Oklahoma, Mississippi, Florida, Texas
and some of the delegates from LOUISE
ana, South Carolina, Arkansas and
Delaware, each preceding the walk-out
with an elaborate speech bedecked with
the choicest flowers Of southern oratory.
There were tears in the eyes of many
of the political veterans of the south as
they left the hall believing that. their
beloved party was doomed.
But even in the depleted convention,
Douglas failed to get the requisite two
thirds vote. After the fifty-seventh
ballot proceedings were adjourned to
Baltimore in June, where there was
more bitter wrangling and another tidal
wave Of secession before the Little
Giant" was nominated. He guided
what was left of the democratic party
through hopeless campaign.

WALKER SCHOOL
RULING UPHELD
By HIGH COURT
Suspension OF Student Is
Held Prerogative OF
Principal

MONTGOMERY, Ala, April 24.--
School authorities will not be called to
account by the judicial branch Of the
state government for enforcement of
regulations unless such regulations
clearly show an abuse Of power, it was
decided Thursday by the supreme court
Of Alabama in affirming the Judgment
ofsthe Walker circuit court in the case
Of, Mrs. j. w. Christian vs.. Lucian
I Jones.
Mrs. Christian asked the Walker
court to issue mandamus against Jones,
superintendent of schools at Jasper, to
compel the reinstatement of her daugh-
ter in the school from which she was
suspended. This suspension, it was
stated, was caused by the girls leaving
school to take music lessons from a
teacher near the school building. It
was further stated that there was q
music teacher provided in the school
who tnstruced in music thoso children
whose parents desired 1t. Music was
not part Of the regular school course
and the parents had to pay tuition.
Mrs. Christian, 1t seems, preferred that
her daughter should be instructed In
music by a teacher who lived near the
school and the fact that the girl left
the school during school hours to get
her music lesson caused her suspension.
Mandamus was denied BY the Walker
court and the supreme court affirmed
its stand. 1t held that school authori-
ties are allowed discretion to make
regulations for the enforcement Of dis
cipline and these regulations would not
be interfered with unless they. seem
grossly unreasonable.
Central Of Georgia Case Up The
Alabama public service commission
began Thursday at noon hearing testi-
mony regarding proposed changes OF. the
Central Of Georgia right of way from
Opelika to Birmingham. The state
utilities body is conducting this hear
ing on request of and ON behalf of the
interstate commerce commission. The
chief point of contention is the eleva-
ton of the railroad track Childers-
burg, which is opposed by citizens Of
that town.
N. j. Cliett was chosen to marshal
the testimony of the Childersburg peo-
pie, while the railroad was represented
by NJ G. Stokes, its general agent in
Montgomery, and by General r. d,
Steiner, its counsel.
r. r. Gross, mayor of ChiIdersburg,
was the first witness to testify. He
stated that in his opinion the proposed
ernbankment would be unsightly and
would initiate against the establish
nlent Of new industries at Childersburg
on account of the difficulty of getting
sidetrack facilities.
The young child of Mrs. j. A.
Pouncey of Montgomery was bitten
Thursday morning by stray dog. The
animal was killed and the head sent to
