Captain W. P. Manly, whose picture heads

noted for the discipline and efficiency of its
corps of police and the standard of its rank

fair specimen of the intelligence and
physical perfection which is required of its
officials. Some years ago the Captain unfor-
tunately acquired blood poison, which for
year gave him more Or less trouble, and
threatened to undermine and totally destroy
his entire physical system. He is magnif-
fient specimen of manhood with constitu-

PREPARE WHEAT GROUND.
f. i. GARDENHIRE.
To the Standard

To the Standard.
The present season, some Tennes-
see farmers have gathered forty bush
els of wheat per acre. This, how
ever, was only done, where the land
was thoroughly prepared. Without
such preparation, there need be no
hope of such results.
The time for the preparation of
wheat land is at hand. Where it is
practical, turn the land deeply and
harrow lightly; so as not to disturb
any vegetation turnedun About
the 9Th of October, pillow lightly with
double shovels, harrow as at first,
then sow or drill, and harrow in the
grain, and then roll the land, and the
fall cultivation of the wheat is done.
Spare no reasonable labor in prepar-
ing new wheat land, and the increase
in the crop will pay largely. The
best preparation will insure the most
vigorous growth of the plant, and
will be much less liable to rust, Smut
and have other diseases. A good crop
almost certainly results from thor
ough preparation of the soil.
Remember that what is "worth
doing at all, is worth doing we'll"

THE gubernatorial convention,
following the precedent of the judi
cial convention, resolved to dispense
with long speeches in nominating the
candidates before the convention.
The tendency of the Democratic con-

as much wind as possible.

Hon. G. B. SIMoNToN, of Upton

man of the Democratic Convention
Wednesday. Mr.. Simonton has been
member of Congress, and is said to
be a fine presiding officer, but he
didn't get in much fine work on this

No platform ever adopted in Ten
nessee has elected more favorable
comment than that adopted by the
Gubernatorial Convention at Nash
vile last Wednesday. Newspapers
and individuals alike praise it with a
pleasing unanimity. 1t is short and
pointed says enough without saying
too much; it is plain and outspoken ;
it does not straddle any issue, or hide
its meaning by circumlocutiOn. 1t is
a brief but ample declaration Of the
party's principles. We see no reason
why every Democrat iuthe State can
not stand squarely upon it.

THE Executive Committee Of the
Third Congressional District held a
meeting in the Capitol at Nashville
last Wednesday morning for the pur-
pose of fixing time and place for hold
ing the Congressional Convention.
The date agreed upon is Wednesday,
Sept. 9Th, and the place, Chattanooga.
Chattanooga and McMinnville were
the only places in nomination before
the meeting, and the vote stood, as
well as we can recollect, SO for Chat
tanooga, and Al for McMinnville.

ONLY four candidates for Governor
were put in nomination before the
convention, viz: Hon. Robert l..
Taylor, of Knox, Gen. George G.
Dibrell, of White, Hon. L. M. Nc
Connell, of Hamilton, Hon. Robert F.
Looney, of Shelby. A few scattering
complimentary votes were given to
others, but dark horses were not in

The people of the State are now
waiting with interest to see whether
or not a joint canvass will be arranged
for thegubernatorial candidates. For
two Or three reasons we hope not.
With number of our State exchang-
es, we think the Democrats have been
furnishing Republican candidates for
Governor with AUDIENCES long
enough. Again, it will be next to
impossible for the two candidates to
meet on the stump and discuss issues
without engaging to some extent in
personal criticisms. The candidates
being brothers, this course could not
be otherwise than distasteful to many
good people Of both parties. We be-
lieve Bob can make the canvass just
as effective on a lone hand.

THE preliminary fight is over, and
Hon. Robt. l.. Taylor will be the
next Governor of Tennessee. The
combined strength of all the candi-
dates before convention was little
more than a majority of Taylor's
strength. Taylor held good lead
throughout all the balloting, his low
est vote being 1927, on the Sth ballot,
which was 81 over Dibrell's largest
vote. No one who attended the con-
vention could fail to be impressed
with the strength and earnestness OF
Taylor's support. While large
portion of the steady, conser.
vative element of the party are
displeased with the nomination, and
will probably not render Taylor the
active support theywould have given
Dibrell, yet majority of the young
men of the Democracy are enthusiast.
tic in his support, and will rally
around the gallant young leader with
a vigor and earnestness that will roll
up for him majority which the De.
mocracy of the State can always be
proud of. While we wish the result
had been otherwise, and did all in
our power to make it so, we submit
gracefully to the verdict, and will la
Dor just as zealously to roll up hand
some majority for East TENNESSEE

for our own choice. Now that he ha;
been chosen as the standard bearer O

will be, honored and supported by

The Terrell County Sunday school
Convention.
This excellent institution Of
Terrell county met at Bronwood
ON Sunday last. 1t was presided
over by n. W. Dozier, Esq, of

Secretary. Devotional exercises
were conducted bv Rev. j. s. Ell
more, of Bronwood.
Eight Sunday schools were rep
resented, and large attendance
was had from Bronwood aud vi
cinity. Most OF the Sunday
schools of the county had sus-
pended owing to weather and win
ter. Those which haJl not gone
into winter quarters were repre-
sented to be in good condition.
The exercises consisted of recita-
ton of the Sunday-school lesson
fer the Sunday, and short discus
sion of the subjects announced
thro' the papers. Dover was Sc
lected as the place and the 9Th
Sunday in May as the time. of the
next meeting. A resolution was
adopted instructing the Executive
Committee, with President and
Secretary, to provide a banner to
be given at the next session of the
Convention to the school having
TIE largest per cent. of attendance
! for the three months, beginning
March LIST and euding May ODD.
This plan will give time for the
organization of all the schools in
the C unity during February, and
will give the smallest school in
the county an equal showing with
he largest in getting the banner.
It's hoped that twenty-five schools
will contend and that the attend
ance will be largely increased in
the schools Bronwood fully sus-
tained its excellent reputation in
the entertainment Of the visitors.
All left full of praise for the hos
pitality of this beautiful town.
