New Deal Is
Scored AT
State Meet
State Delegates Are
Instructed For Party
Convention.
cThe Associated Press)

Mississippi became the third
state to instruct its national con
.vention delegates TO reject party
nominees unless certain demands
of the state are met at Chicago
next month.
Following the example of Texas
and South Carolina, the state
Democratic convention at jackson
Wednesday, in a streamlined two
snd-one-half-hour session adopt
ed a resolution instructing its
delegates, among other things, to
flight against inclusion of any
racial social equality plank in the
national platform"
The resolution also called for q
fight against an anti-poll tax
plank, for a return of states
rights, and for restoration of the
two-thirds rule which gave the
South veto power in the national
party councils.
Led by Keynoter Fred Smith of
Ripley, an anti New Deal faction
assumed control Of the meeting
at the outset and steamrollered
its resolution through with little
opposition.
The delegates applauded every
denunciation of the New Deal and
cheered an apparent attack by
Smith on Vice-President Henry
Wallace.
Without calling Wallace by
name, Smith said that n OF the
first steps in re-establishing the
South's position in the national
party us to demand, as a nominee
fdf vlcespresident h Dor1ocrat
who really believes in the funda
mental doctrines of the party"
Such bureaus as the fair prac-
tees committee created by
executive order, and dominated
and controlled by Negroes, viii
cause endless discord and confu-
sion if permitted to continue their
present method" Smith charged
Smith read from a c. l. o. book
let published, he said, by it's ed
ucational department. which de-
clared that federal troops and car
p~etbaggers were the only things
which had given the laborers and
poor farmers of our section the
right to vote and have their votes
counted" during Reconstruction
days.
THAT grossly malicious state
ment shows the temper and spirit
of the men who seek to control
the political situation in the
South Smith said.
The most bitter denunciation
of the New Deal came from Wea-
yer Gore, jackson attorney, who
was elected a member of the state
executive committee. Seconding

Bluffton High Cagers Beat Rawson
By 1929 Score Here On Friday

In an impressive last-half show
ing, Bluffton High cagers made their
first home appearance of the year
an impressive one by trouncing Raw
son, "a to 20, last Saturday night
on the local court.
Rawson proved a worthy foe for
the Pirates in the tilt, and at one
time in the opening minutes of the
fourth quarter the visitors were out
in front, 25 to %. From that point,
however, the Burckymen settled
down to play their best ball of the
evening, and after running the count
to 81 to 81 successfully stalled the
remainder of the playing time.
Both outfits got away to a slow
start, and the first quarter found
only nine points scored, with Bluff
ton leading at the gun, to 8. Raw
son pulled up in the second period
to trail only by one point, 13 to II,
at halftime.
Buttons most sustained attack
of the evening was an 11~point rally
in the third quarter, but Rawson
also was going strong and the Pi-
rates had only a one-point advant-
age when the period ended, "a to %.
Rawson then went out in front,
25 to "a, on a field goal but Zimmer-
ly led his mates to a Bluffton victory
in a personally conducted whirlwind
assault for the remainder of the
playing time.

Just in Fun

Here's one about two farmers liv-
ing near the jog on the Columbus
Grove road The two men were hunt
ing together near the close of the
pheasant season last week. Up went
a bird and farmer number one fired
and down came the bird. Then he
asked the other hunter if he had fired
also and second farmer said he did
and at the same time broke his gun,
tossed out the shell, and claimed the
bird. This same procedure happened
on the next rooster and this time
farmer number one picked up the shell
elected by farmer number two and
discovered it had never been fired.
