TWICE A WEEK, $2.00 A YEAR _____ fjg| GOOD ECHOES OF I LEGION CONVENTION LEGIONNAIRES PLEASED WITH NEWBERRY ENERTANMENT Mr. Jas. D. Grist Writes Story of Closing Day Legion Convention for Herald and News By Jas. D. Grist South Carolina ex-service men cut their political eye teeth for the first time at the third annual convention of j the South Caroilina department of the j American Legion held in Newberry | last Wednesday and Thursday. It j was really interesting to watch their i manoeuvres and Congerssman Fred Dominick and Congressman Jojm McSwain and State Senator Neils Chris- ' tensen of Beaufort and other old and > wise ''political heads" watched them j with considerable interest and some J of them at least were of the opinion that they went about it as though ' " ' ' 1- - i Al --- T&ey Knew just wnat uiey 'WCIC uuing. Tihe big political fight of the conven- ; tion came over the election of a state commander,to succeed Major G. Heyward Mahon of Greenville and the Richland delegation proved conclu- i sively that Columbia youngsters learn j rapidly and wisely from their elders, j Morris C. Lumpkin of Columbia be- i ing elected over Ben E. Adams of i Charleston, 150 to 143. Mr. Lump- j kin w-h-Q served in the late war as a j captain in the 81st Division is a | young lawyer of Columbia, a graduate of the University of Sotith Carolina and one of the most popular i young men in the state. He is a j foffcefu] speaker, a man of much en- i ergy and resource and the concensus! of opinion among 293 delegates is that he will make a most able commander. Ben Sawyer of Columbia will be the next adjutant it was learned at Newberry last Thursday, the adjutant being appointed each year by the post commander. The only other real fight of the convention came over the election of a national executive committeeman, Col. J. Monroe Johnson of Marion being elected over Major John D. Frost of Spartanburg. Johnson who was the first national executive committeeman from the state defeated Frost by seven votes, the lino up of delegates in the election of a national executive committeeman being the same as that for state commander. . .. ! There were only two nominations i for state commander. The name of Mr. Lumpkin was first offered byJames 0. Sheppard of Edgefield and seconded by Harry Hughes of Oconee. The name of Mr. Adams was placed in nomination by E. Willoughby Middleton of Charleston and was seconded by Jas. D. Grist of Yorkville. Col. Holmes B. Springs of Green ville was elected vice commander defeating Dr. John B. Setzler of Newberry. Prof. Frank Bradley of the University of South Carolina was renamed state historian without opposition and Rev. C. Groshun Gunn, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church of Greenville was elected chaplain without opposition. Most of the delegates came to Newberry by automobile and Henry Fords predominated among the cars. The Charleston delegation which included twenty men and several ladies came in a special Pullman returning to Charleston Thursday night. What was considered by many as j one of the most important accomplishments at Newberry was the or ganization of the Woman's Auxiliary of the South Carolina department. Mrs. L. W. Floyd of Newberry was elected president; Mrs. C. K. Earle of Spartanburg, first vice president; Mrs. R. I. . Manning of Columbia, -second vice president; Miss Sadie Goggans of Newberry, secretary; Mrs. Harold C. Curtis of Manning, treasurer and Mrs. H. L. Forbes of Columbia, historian. The next annual meeting place of the Woman's auxiliary will be the came as that of the Legion and was j left in the hands of the executive committee since no invitations for the 1923 convention were placed before the meeting.

Post commanders and adjutant pledged themselves to do their utmos to organize an auxiliary within eac post during the coming year. One of the most interesting report read at the convention was that o W. R Watkins of Greenville, the re tiring state adjutant which showe that there had been a material ir crease in the membership during- th past year. The South Carolina de partment has at present about 4,20 members. However, since there ar about 27,000 white men in Sout Carolina who are entitled to membei ship it was evident that there is muc work in the way of organization fo the newly elected officials to do thi year. If Col. George Harvey, Unite States ambassador to Great Britain c Eugene V. Debbs, socialist^candidat for president who is now in the fedei al penitentiary in Atlanta could hav attended the convention of soldiers c rather could have been stickin around their ears would have tingle every few seconds.

REWARD OFFERED FOR DYNAMITERS FIFTY-FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS WILL BE PAID Railway Company and State of Geor! gia Join in Effort to Apprehend Train Wreckers I The State. Atlanta, Sept. 8.?Rewards totaling ."00 were offered todav for an ****-> Y'T' w " c/ prehension with proof to convict the persons rerponsible for dynamiting an Atlanta, IMrbingham & Atlantic railroad freight train near here last night, killing John Morris of Fitzgerald, engineer, and injuring three other trainmen. | Col. B. L. Bugg, receiver for the road, in offering $5,000 reward, said , itoveral 'clues were peihg !fc[ lowed and predicted early arrests, and Governor Hardwicl: in announcing a $500 reward, declared that he was ("prepared to u?e the authority of the state to its last ounce to prevent outrages of this kinjd and to punish to the | limit of the law the perpetrators of such outragss when apprehended." 1 He declared the people of Georgia j would not countenance such acts and I called on all county and municipal authorities to enforce law and order 'and promised them military support if necessary. I Colonel Bugg, in a conference with the governor, presented him with a list of 33 such wrecks or attempted J wrecks since the beginning of the strike of the A. B. & A. last March. Strike leaders here vigorously dis 1 claimed any knowledge of the outrage and J. M. Larrisy, an officer of the Order of Railway Conductors, declared the union chiefs had sought to conduct an orderly strike. The walkout of the men over a wage reduction 'which caused a stoppage of the road's trains for a time was followed by a I receivership and later by the strikers being replaced by non-union men. The road is technically under federal court jurisdiction since the receivership. Fitzgerald, Ga., Sept. 8.?County officials announced here today that Engineer Joe Morris, who was killed ? *"* * l in a wreck on the A. <fc a. roau near Atlanta last night, following an explosion, had been warned that he would be blown up.

The grand jury did not complete its inevstigation of the A. B. & A.

Ai nunnber of people, usually c'lildren, have ibeen injuring 'by war *ng on, and otherwise, the cemer. sidewalks which are being laid. Tne people of, j Newberry are spending their money; ifor these sidewalks not only for the I I 'comfort of our .people but for the ! purpose of beautifying our town. j The council has given orders to the chief of police to have the ordinance ' j mentioned enforced. I call upon our, !people to help us to enforce it. We' shall appreciate it if any act of in-j jury to cement sidewalks be reportj? ?l ed fortxvith to the cniei 01 puuvc. i We especially urge parents to im-1 press upon their children to stay off the sidewalks until they are open for traffic.

Camp Jackson's stock as the pes- ^1 sible location of one of the four big government vocational training schools was given a decided boost yesterday in the passage of a resolu tion indorsing the selection of the camp for this purpose, introduced at the state convention of the America^ Legion at Newberry by the delegates of the Richland post. The resolution was passed without a dissenting vote, according to members of the Richland delegation who returned to Columbia last night. Cop:ies of the resolution will be sent to Secretary of War Wppks ,ind to Col. Charles Forbes, director of the veterans' bureau. Colonel Forbes 'is expected in Columbia in the near future, coming here in his inspection of possible sites for the allocation of the school, which he has announced will be located in some Southern state. In the meantime the Columbia chamber of commerce is exerting every eifort to se cure all needed 'information as to the camp's advantages. This will be prepared in booklet form and presented to Colonel Forbes on the occasion of his visit, giving him all the statistical data relative to the camp. ! The resolution approved by the exservice men follows: I "Whereas, Camp Jackson represents capital assets or investments in < 1 i a-i ? r\r\c\ AAA the sum 01 aDout $it,uuu,uuu, mciuuing 2.'J,000 acres of land in' fee simple; and, 4 "Whereas, Its location is peculiarly important by reason of almost unsurpassed health and climatic conditions; / and; "Whereas, Its transportation facili- , ties make it easily accessible to the Southern states; and "Whereas, Its buildings consist of well heated, lighted and ventilated sleeping quarters, ample dining and culinary quarters, a 'modern hospital with equipment, a large number of recreational and welfare centers; and, j "Whereas, It contains fully equipped training departments, such as farming, auto driving and mechanics, - 1 A/\ aItiti/V carpentry, painur.g, u*uuug, ?.wua;i16, blacksmitning, plumbing, barbering and commercial business; and "Whereas, It is believed that the elements hereinabove referred to make Camp Jackson a desirable location for a vocational university for ex-service men in the South; therefore, "Be it resolved, by the South Carolina department of the American Legion in annual convention assembled, M rru_ - 1 ?4-V* "Section 1. 1 nat we icq UCOt LUC proper authorities to allocate one of the four vocational universities to Camp Jackson, "Sec. 2.
