WORK OF THE DELEGATIONS.
They Select Their Members of the
Convention Committees.

St. Louis, June 15.-The Alabama dele
cation this morning selected Judge
Charles W. Buckley as chairman of the
delegation, John w Jones for vice presi-
dent, and John Harmon for secretary of
the convention. John Youngblood, ma
tional committeeman, was reelected for
the fourth time and the following mem
bers of committees:
Credentials-Nathan II. Alexander

Resoluuons-H. V. Cashun, sound
money
Rules-H. A. Carson.

inee-W. r. Pettiford.
A roll call was taken of the delegation
and resulted, Mckinley, II; Reed, 2; ALI

has been chosen to second McKinlev's
nomination. Alexander is a cOlored man,
and is said to be an eloquent speaker
Senator Pritchard of North Carolina,
who, it was supposed, would be the mem
Der from that state on the committee on
resolutions, declined to be a candidate
when he found a number of other gentle
men anxious for the place. NJ. L. Mott,
an ardent free silver man, was elected.
The other committee places were filled a
follows: Chairman and national commit
tee man, James r. Boyd; to notify the
president, c. NJ. Bernard; permanent or
ganiZatiOn, George H. White; credentials
G. j. Harris; rules, w. T. O'Brien; to
notify the vice president, John Fl. Hanna.
Nirginia-Mr. William Lamb, the present
state chairman of the republican party,
in the old commonwealth of Virginia, was
this afternoon completely overthrOWn as
a result of his effort to stem the Mckinley
tied in that state. He was supposed to
have been for Reed, but at all events, he
was for anybody to beat Mckinley and
as chairman of the state organization ear
nestly sought to accomplish this result.
He failed. however. and when the state
convention met, was sent as one of the
delegates-at-larg under cast-iron instruc-
tions to vote for Mckinley When Mr..
Lamb sought the honor of a reelection
as the Virginia member of the national
committee, he found the state delegation
practically unanimous for George T. Bow
den. who has been the Mckinley leader
in Virginia. Had the vote been taken, 1t
is said that Mr.. Lamb would have re-
ceived but three out of the twentyfour
votes in the delegation. Under the cir
cumstances Mr.. BOwden's election was
practically unanimous and without the
formality of a vote. The remaining con-
vention committee assignments were a s

Now, If one takes into consideration
that, according to the official reports the
troops have captured from the insurg-
cnts SIS, ,327 horses since the war broke out,
IL will be easily seen that there was no
necessity for buying these horses and
that the money expended was a sheer
waste or a shameful robbery.

COTTON.
Texas Farm and Ranch.

Texas Farm and Ranch.
The cotton report of the Depart
ment of Agriculture for May re-
lates to the progress of planting
and the proposed or contemplated
acreage. The proportion of the
contemplated area already planted
on the LIST of May was S7:9 per
cent, which approximates very
closely to the breadth usually
planted at that date, estimated at
88.2 per cent.
The estimates for the several
States are as follows: Virginia,
20; North Carolina, 80; South Ca
rolina, 80; Georgia, 80; florida,
100; Alabama, SO; Mississippi, go;
Louisiana, IS, Texas, IS; Arkan-
sas, "a; Tennessee, 70.
The returns of correspondents
| in regard to contemplated acreage
indicate a considerable increase
over the area planted last year.
The percentages by States are as
follows: Virginia, 1O7; North Ca
rolina, III; South Carolina, Ill;
|
Georgia, 113; Florida, 143; Alaba-
ma, Ill; Mississippi, ITO; Louisi-
ana, 100; Texas, lis; Arkansas,
1913; Tennessee, 1877; Indian Terri
tory, 159; Missouri, al. The
average for the country is HAS.
Planting has been earlier than
usual in most of the States, but
complaint is made of a droutE
over large area in North and
South Carolina, Georgia and Ala
bama, retarding the termination
of the seed. In few counties il
Texas the Mexican weevil is re
: ported as doing considerable dam
! age. As a general thing the plan
is said to be in good condition
with favorable season.

Daily Item.
Those men who are seeking to
bolster up the Democratic party
hesitate not at means. Every ar
gument, which they conceive OF,
is used in the interest OF their
cause. What boots it that these
arguments be a tissue of lies?
They care not for that. What
they want is to produce an i'm
preston and to accomplish this
they will stop at nothing.
1t is but few days since that
the Supreme Court of the United
States decided the sugar bounty
cases. Its decision, as readers of
The Item are aware. was in favor
of the producers. The payment
of the sugar bounty, as readers OF
The Item also know, was refused
by R. b. Bowler, Comptroller OF
the Treasury. A resort to the
courts became necessary and for
tunately justice triumphed.
! For this the Democratic party
is seeking to take credit unto it
self. Monstrous! 1t did all i

The Money to Come, at Last.

Daily Item.
1t was feared that Comptroller
Bowler would throw further OBJ
stacles in the way of the payment
of the sugar bounty claims. Not
so, however, we rejoice to say. He
has announced that everything is
now all right, and soon may we
expect to see the sugar people
happier than they have been for a
long time. The money they will
receive will enable them to pay
their debts and start afresh. 1t
is vertically a Godsend. So long
had the payment of the bounty
money been deferred that hearts
were made sick. But all is now
changed and justice will be done.
With the election of a Republi-
can Congress and of Mckinley as
President of the United States, we
may expect some protection to be
afforded sugar. 1t is an outrage
to see it on the free list; an out
rage for which we are indebted to
the Democratic party.
Fortunately everything points
to its defeat this year. The coun-
try is in sore need of a change.

Credit, or Cash?

Editor Southern Farmer: Should
it be credit or cash? People seem
to think that they must do a Gre
dit business with their merchant
when times are hard, when it is
cash business that they should do.
Times are not only hard with us,
because we can not obtain good
prices for our produce, but be-
cause we do too much of this Gre
dit business. When times are
good, the farmer buys largely on
the credit system, and manages
to pay up when he sells his crop,
but it has not paid him, from the
fact that he has paid more for his
goods than he would have had to
pay, had he paid the cash; there
is no money in a credit business
when times are good, and still less
of it when times are bad. The
credit system is running our coun-
try faster than anything else, and
is what drove the country into
distress. True, the various COM
bines formed to work ruin to the
farmers, has helped to depress the
values of all farm products, but
they alone have not forced the
farmers to the wall; it is the Gre
dit system that is making the far
mer and business man feel the
hard times. Farmers can learn to
get along on less, and live better,
if they will get into the habit OF
raising their own meats, potatoes
corn and garden truck; it does moi
pay anybody to buy these luxu'
ries when they can be grown al
home. But habit is like ca
