|DIAM0ND MARKET IN HUMBLE TOWN
South African Village Deals in
 Millions

LichtenburS, South Africa, Ma, l5. P-A primitive street Of ram- silackle huts is one of the world ( most important diamond marts. Here in the heart of the alluvial diamond fields of Grasfontein.
 South Africa, millions of dollars worth of the precious stones are regularly bought and sold. The shacks that look like shelters on a poultry farm are the offices Of the brokers, Once a month or oftener if the yield of the fields is unusual ly rich. they are opened for busi- ness.
 The diamond brokers travel to the exchange by train or automo- bile across the desert from Preto- ria and other South African cities. All transactions are made in cash and the brokers bring with them usually from &5.ooo,ooo to 31o,ooo.- o60 in currency. It is the boast of the region that the man carrying this wealth needs no special pro- tection and that holdups are un- known.
 The primitive brokerage offices are built of corrugated iron sheets. since there Is not tree for hun dreds of miles to supply lumber. Each shack is furnished with a ta- ble, q chair or two and pair of scales. and nothing more.
 On the arrival of the brokers a flag is flown above the shanty. The miners who have been accumulat- ing diamonds from the previous month thereupon bring their wares to the offices where they are weighed and barsained for. The rough stones bought in this way later are sorted and appraised. and ultimately find their way to the diamond cutters in European and American cities.
 The famous alluvial deposits of Grasfontein have been the scene Of one of the most picturesque dia- mond rushes in history. A mush- room town sprang up in a few hours which became hive of &C., tivity.
 The wild excitement of the rush was largely due to the fact that the great wealth of diamonds in these fields lay virtually on the surface. to be picked up by the fortunate minerA
 Work is still actively in pragress in these fields and the output con- tinues to be large. Diamonds from the new alluvial fields are rarely more than two or three carats in weight in the rough and when cut

skeletonized form, was made, not by
newspaper man, but by John Harker, a
Baltimore printer. who ran of enough
copies for the delegates as mementoes.
THE convention lasted three days.
but two and a half were spent in
visiting and sightseeing.
Martin Van Buren, of New York, then
Ambassador to England and former
Senator and Secretary Of State, was
unanimously nominated for Vice Presi-
dent on the first ballot.
The organization of the convention
was comparatively simple. There was
no platform TO be adopted, the prin-
cipIes Of the party being pretty generally
known, and there were no contests over
seats, no credentials to be disputed or
sergeants-at-armso or tickets.
Thomas Nelson, an ancestor OF
Thomas Nelson Page, who lived on a
j country estate just southeast OF Rich
mond. was elected chairman and John
+ A. DIX of New York secretary. There
/ we're no other officers.
/ There were delegates fEom each State
/ equal In number TO the electoral votes.
/ The delegates were chosen by the Leg!s-
/ latures, and Louisiana was the frontier
| State on the Southwest and Missouri
/ on the West. Illinois was on the North
west frontier Eleven Of the States were
/ in the South and nine In the North,
/ but the delegates were nearly evenly
divided. with the District Of Columbia,
with four delegates, holding the key TO
majority control.
The unit rule at that time was I'M
heard Of and apparently not needed.
Either there was a steam roller at work
or real harmony existed. Van Buren,
had been mentioned previously In the
campaign, but when his name was pro-
posed TO the convention IT went over
unanimously.
/ The fight against control by the Dis
trict Of Columbia, which at that time
was largely Federali2t was started by
Preserved Fish, a leader from New York.
Fish, fearing that the vOteless District
" Columbia could do harm 10 the party
by swinging votes the wrong way, pro-
posed early in the morning that the
tW0-thirds rule be adopted The motion
vas seconded by Louisiana delegate
There was vigorous tight, the only
dispute Of the convention, against this,

THE opening Of the Democratic
national convention in Hous-
ton last Tuesday brought up
once more the question that had
caused disputes in the party for
Tears-~whether or not the two-thiros
rule shall remain in force.
Few politicians who debate the ques-
ton now know why it was first made
part Of the rules Of the party's quadren-
nal sessions. although many new rea-
sons have arisen since then. The fact
Is that the two-thirds rule was adopted
!, long before there was q party known
