SEVENTH REPUBLICANS.
In Convention Here to Select Delegates
to Minneapolis.

The Seventh Congressional District
Republican Convention met in the
courthouse this morning for the pur-
pose of selecting two delegates to the
National Republican Convention at
MINNEAPOLIS. All the counties in the
district were represented, and to q
looker-on it would appear that the
negroes were in the maj ority.
At IL o'clock the mOngrel crowd met
in the Circuit Court room and organ
lied temporarily by selecting X. a.
Haggard, of Wayne County, to pre-
side and l.. A. Goslin, of Maury, to
act as Secretary. The temporary Or
ganiZation was afterward made per-
manent.
The Chairman then appointed his
committees, and the convention list
ened to a speech from Grant Mat
thews, of jefferson County, who Is Il
candidate for eIector for the State at
large. The convention then adjourned
for dinner.
At O'Clock the convention assem-
bled in the Chancery Court room, and
awaited the report of the committees.
The committee on credentials were
irving TO settle the dispute among the
delegates from Giles County, which
has sent up a contested delegation.
The Committee on Resolutions re-
ported the usual stereotyped form OF
whereases and resolves, returning
their allegiance to the time-honored
principles" of the g. o. p, and pTais-
inc the craftsmanship Of the Mckln-
lev bill, nor forgetting to indOrse Har-

A WATER SPOUT.
Campbell Station, Maury County,
Greatly Damaged by Heavy
Raig.
People Escape on Horses from Floating
Houses.-Water Gates Torn Away
Railroad Track Covered with
Debris.

CAMPBELL STATION. May Al pc
cial Il here WAS n tremendous rain
fell here this evening, commence
ing shortly after O'Clock and cou-
tiuuiug until after 6. The creek was
higher than il WAS ever kro~n IL be.
IL was higher than it was at the May
Hood, 30 years ago 10 day. The farm
er5 had ali they could stand up 10 Oh
account of rams before this. Those
Who live directly on the creek cannot
make enough this year to repair the
damages from this evenings rain.
To give some idea how high the creek
was, two or three cases of damage
sustained will be mentioned.
Thos. White had two water gates
that every time the creek got up were
washed away. lie got tired of this
and had rock pillars built seven or
eight feet square and seven or eight
feet high. There was white oak logs
thirty feet long put on these pillars,
it took four horses to haul on log
wagon. Mr.. White thought when
these water gates were completed he
had some that would stay. This
evenings rain took them away like
chaff before "A summers wind.
Harris Il Cole BROS, OF Columbia,
had ten or fifteen car loads of logs
piled up short distance south OF the
station, between the railroad track
and the creek, there not being room
at the station for them. Some OF
these logs were four feet in diameter,
ten and twelve feet long; every one
of these logs were carried Oft but Two.
1t will cost them as much to get them
back to the station as it did to get
them out of the woods some of them
they will never get.
The railroad track was so covered
with drift that ira rs could not pass.
until the section men cleaned it OIL.
Persons who have travelled along this
road can understand from that how
high the creek was.
Those who lived close to the creek
had to get out to high ground; some
of them stayed in the houses so long
they had to be carried out on horses.
1t was remarked by every one that
they never saw the creek rise so fast.
The rain was heavier south, near the
head of the creek, than it was here.
Our town indeed looks desClate. The
wreck will have to be see2 to be APP

tone voice. Maurice Hogeman and
Robert McNally, as Hodad and

REGULAR EXTRA TO OUR
WEEKLY


When we first began talking about
our daily, we told our subscribers to
: the WEEKLY HERALD that they
would reap direct benefit therefrom.
and we Intend to be as good as our
word
we said We wou give them more
reading aud better reading than we
ia ever given them before, more
and better than any other week ly
could, unless it was issued fro m "A
daily newspaper Office, as the
/ II ERALD *.
We had hoped to give notice last
week of what we intended doing, but
had not fully maturel our plans then,
50 will make the move to-day with
out giving notice.
Without going into details at all /;
without assuring the many wonder
ing how We can afford it, we will simp-
ly announce that if we get the patron
age the improvement ought to bring
us, we can afford and will issue every
Tuesday an extra edition to our
weekly and send it to every one of
our subscribers far and near.
The regular Friday issue of our
weekly will remain the same size as
| heretofore. The Extra, or Tuesdays
! edition, will be the size of our daily;
| that is, six column folio. 1t will
contain everything of interest that
occurs here or elsewhere from Friday
until Tuesday; and the news from
Tuesday until Friday will be found
in the Fridays issue. The extra will
give us room for it all, and our read
ers will get it all. Heretofore, as in
all weekly papers, our space was
crowded and we were compelled very
often TO leave out good news.
The change will cost our subscrib-
eIs nothing. The extra will come to
them free. The subscription price
to the Weekly will remain the same,
81 per year in the county, $1.25 out of
the county.
All we ask is that the people of
Maury County will take advantage of
good thing and subscribe literally;
we will do the rest. 1t does not mat
ter what paper you are taking, if you
cannot afford to take but one paper,
take THE HERALD. If you are taking
foreign weekly and nothing else,
you miss the local news. If you are
taking a local weekly and nothing
else, you miss much of the foreign
news. If you take The HERALD you
get all the news, both foreign and
local.
Besides, you get it fresh. Our Tues
days edition, though third smaller
than our Fridays edition, will con ain
quite as much reading matter, for it
has little or no advertising in it, and
having two papers a week we can get
all the news to our country friends
while it is fresh.
We wish to call special attention to
the stock department.. Mr.. John
Moore, Jr., known to the horse world
as "TrOtwOOd," has charge of the
stock department. We want to make
this feature, and will if the stock
men will show their appreciation of
it, Mr.. Moore is well up in this par
ticular line, a graceful, entertaining,
pleasing writer upon any subject, and
it will be the fault of the stOckmen
of Maury if the stock interests are
not represented as they should be.
Now is the time to subscribe.

JOHN M'MILLIN.
Complete Mastery over His Feelings, as
EVinced in a Speech.

Stories are told of actors going upon
the stage and performing their parts
when loved ones at home lay dying
or dead. Yesterday in the United
States Circuit Court an Instance oc-
CURED parallel to these stories. II
was in the sensational case of Isabella
Smith and Attorney ". w. Windle,
of Overton County, indicted for pen
sion frauds. Saturday all the tesll-
mony in the case was heard, and II
was announced that speeches would
be made Monday. John McMillln
and his brother, Joe McMiliin. OF
CeIina, were lawyers for defendants.
Yesterday morning Joe McMillin
died. In the afternoon John McMllIln
left the chamber OF death and, going to
the courtroom, made speech OF
over an hour. He was actuated by Il
high sense of duty to his clients,
whom he believes guiltless. The
effort was powerful one and showed
wonderful mastery over the feeling
that overwhelmed the speaker after
he left the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

which he says he has been using foI
twenty-five years and has never seen
fail: Remedy-One teaspoonful Of the

remedy is also good for colds. The
remedy should always be given when
the trouble is first noticed. 1t is sim

cure that; if it is the commencement
of distemper it will stop that. If given
in time it never fails. Cut this out
