GEORGIA DEMOCRATS,
The Meeting of the State Convention
Today.


Today.
ATLANTA, Ga, August 2.-The meeting
of the state democratic convention, fixed for
noon today has attracted to the city the
largest attendance of democrats from all
over Georgia known in recent years Be
sides the $50 delegates entitled to seats in
the body as the representatives of the 1871
counties in the state, there are delegations
of citizens. many Of them from remote Sec
tions, swelling the number of visitors in
the city to fully 500. The convention is
called to nominate candidates for governor,
secretary of state, controller general, treas
urer, attorney general and commissioner of
agriculture for terms OF two years each.
For governor, w. Y. Atkinson, ex-speaker
of the house Of representatives and former
chairman Of the state democratic executive
committee, has no opposition, his sole COM
petitor In the primaries, Gen. Clement A.
Evans, having retired from the Hace when
the result was practically decided in the
local elections several weeks ago. The only
contest is for secretary of state, for which
office there are two candidates, Allen d.
Gambler, the incumbent, and VIM. Clifton
Of Chatham.
The CHEF interest of the convention CEN
tiers about its attitude on the silver question
and toward the administration. Talk with
the delegiRs betrays wide differences on
the financial issue, but general disposition
TO harmonize, if possible, in view of the
strong populist opposition to be met in the
coming campaign. The free coinage element
is aggressive, but the advocates of the Chi
cagO platform are determined. and a warm
contest over the financial plank is expected.
Half an hour before the opening of the con-
vention the hall of the house Of representa-
tiyes in the state capitol was crowded to
discomfort with delegates and spectators
Promptly at neon Allen Fort, chairman of
the state executive committee, called the
body to order.

The People of Oklahoma to Protest

PERRY, o. r., August "A protest TO
Congress will soon be entered from the
Oklahoma and Indian territory against
Indian dances. These dances have become
so vulgar that some of the more modest

every Sunday at the diff erent agencies by
the Otoe. Usage, Creek, Cherokee and other

Shipping Live Poultry.

There are few general points in re-
gard to shipping live poultry that are
applicable to all markets;
1. Shippers should see that the coops
are in good condition before using, so
that they are not liable to come apart
in transit, as they are roughly handled
sometimes.
2. The coops should also be high
enough to allow whatever kind of
poultry is shipped, room enough to
stand up. Low coopS should not be
used, as it is not only cruel, but q great
deal of poulty is lost every year by suf-
location. Coops should not be over
crow ded.
3. In shipping hens and roosters they
should be kept separate. Nothing de.
preciates the value of a fine coop Of
hens as much as having q number of
old cocks among them. Shippers often
wonder why they do not get the high
est market price for their stock; in
me st cases this is the reason. Good
stock always commands a quick sale
at best prices.
4. Poultry should be shipped so as to
arrive on the market from Tuesday to
Friday. Receipts are generally in-
crease toward the end of the week,
and there is enough carried over stock
on hand Saturday to supply the de-
mand. Merchants, rather than carry
stock over S'Sday, will sell at sacri-
fee, as the stock, wh IN in coops. loses
considerable in weight by shrinkage,
and does not appear fresh and bright.
Besides, Monday is usually a poor day.

Mr.. Peter Henderson once gave the
following advice about wintering eel
cry: lift the celery from where it has
been growing, when not to wet and
when not frozen, with whatever earth
conveniently adheres. Stow away in
an upright position compactly, but
without bruising or squeezing too tight
Iy, In trench just as deep as the cele-
ry is high and not more than 10 inches
wide. Cover with clean litter of any
kind, very lightly at first, gradually In
creasillg until foot or so (but do not
let the celery freeze after being gath
ered) of litter is placed on the celery
for the coolest weather" Any dry or
bad leaves must of course be removed
before putting the celery into winter
quarters. The ground must be as dry
as pOSSible-a breakwater may be nee
eccary. A correspondent in Country
Gentleman tells that his first successful
attempt to winter celery was when he
followed this advice, which he com
ments upon thus:
Good as these directions of Mr.. Hen
derson are, / found trouble from the
inroads of the mice, and from the rain
and snow being too heavy as to wet
through the mass sometimes and press
too heavily upon it, thus causing rot
ting. 1 prevent these things by max
ing a roof of boards Cheap hemlOck)
like this \. This roof l rest upon
strips of wood, say, 2 inches thick, laid
crOsSwise above two boards running
lengthwise Of the trench and close up
to the edges Of it. Inside of and under
the boards 1 put a covering of only
inches but am careful to put enough
on outside, not forgetting to put good
depth of covering on the ground to
great enough distance from the base OF
the bottom boards and at the ends to
prevent the frost getting in horizontal
ly. The roofs I have just described
could be placed on small posts.
My idea of having only slight COW
ering, or even none at all, under the
roof is to keep the mice in the litter
(Which is mostly inside Of the boards)
as much as possible away from the Gel
cry However, if celery has got to be
got out from the trench in very cold
weather, it will be better to have a
number of short trenches that Will
hold enough celery to last for, say,
only two takings out or to pack lit
ter under the boards for about three
feet back from the opening each time
after taking out some celery. This
will prevent freezing way back along
the line of the trench. This packing
car be done very rapidly, even before
any celery is taken out, each time. by
running the packing in by means of
a stick. The roof keeps away too much
wet and prevents any wight from press
ing on the celery, for squeezing it is
injurious. When the roof is placed on
strips separating it from the bottom
boards, it is so as to admit slight Cir
culation Of air.
Before closing I wish to call atten-
ton to one point more, and that is that
if the earth is mellowed in the trench
before placing the celery in it the eel
ery begins to take root more quickly.
The reason why the celery keeps so
we'll in such trench (and blanches) is
that it grows, and growing in the dark
it grows white. The trench must not
be wider than 10 inches, because eel
ery is of such a nature that it heats II
nut up in too great mass.

The natives OF the Hawaiian Islands
are thought to belong to the 1ndo-
Germanic race. They are fine speci-
mems of manhood and womanhood,
with straight, black hair and beautiful
brown skin, very much different In
color from the skin of the American
negro. While the Kanakas, as the In
habitants OF the islands are called,
are not lazy, they are industrious only
by fits and starts. They do not want
steady work, and scarcely ever do any
thing more arduous than cattle-ranch-
ing. This style of life seems to SUIT
them, and the Kanaka cowboy Is as
good a cowboy as there is In the
world.
The native Hawaiians who live In
the cities spend most Of their leisure
