AUGUSTA, July IL, 1903.
To the Editor of the Press:
THE COUNTY CONVENTION
By reason of a material "out" some of the
statements m my last letter appear to be in
consistent. In speaking of our county con-
vention, my manuscript proceeds as follows:
The only changes will be new candidate for
Senator to succeed Mr.. Woodward from the
Northern part of the county and candidate
for county treasurer to succeed Mr.. Pike, de-
ceased. 1t may be confidently announced
that Thomas S. Lang, Esq, of Vassaboro
will be the choice of the convention
for Senator, and Hon. Alanson Starks
of Augusta for county treasurer" And
L will now add that this was not an arro-
rogant attempt on my part to forestall the &C.
ton of the convention, or to ignore the just
claims of any aspirant. I understand it to be
the duty or a correspondent, to inform the
public what has TRANSFERRED, and is transporting
and to indicate. as far as he is able, what is
about to transpire, in his vicinity;-to reflect
as nearly as may be, the actual condition of
the political. educational, social, religious,
moral and legal affairs of his country. 1t has
been my desire and purpose to perform this
duty.
The nomination of Mr.. Lang is conceded by
all; but l understand that Hon. VIM. r.
johnson of this city will be a competitor of
Mr.. Starks in the convention. I believe, how
ever, that indicate the views of a majority of
the people of the country, in claiming that
considerations in no way detracting from the
eminent fitness of Mr.. johnson, will undoubt-
eddy give the nomination to Mr.. Starks.

PORTLAND GAS CoMPANY.--A meeting of
the stockholders of the Portland Gas Company
was held at their office, on Exchange street.
yesterday afternoon, at 8 o'clock, the Presi-
dent, E. H. Davies, ESQ., in the chair. The an
nual report of the President was presented
from which we gather the following statistics:
Consumption of gas for the year ending July
1st, 134 ,550, 900 feet-a gain of a million and a
half feet over 1866, and 1884 900 feet over last
year; number of consumers for past year, 22O1 !;
number of street lanterns. $40; 1888 feet of
street mains were laid during the year. The
report urges the necessity of building new
gas holder next year, and to ensure its being
ready in the fall of 1869 it will be necessary to
build the tank this season. The report of the
Treasurer was made and accepted, showing
the amount of receipts during the past year to
be $155,674.S6; expenditures, $155, 492.52.
The total number of votes cast for Directors
for the ensuing year was 3415, and the old
Board was reelected, as follows:-E. III. Da-
vies, Charles Holden, Lemuel Cobb, r. E.
Wood, e. Carter, Thos. Cummings.
