Is 1t Wrong to Commit Suicide?

Editor Herald: No man acts without

JOHNSTON AND JEFFERSON
No Doubt That He Has Carried
the County.
COUNTY CONVENTION TODAY
Mr.. A. o. Lane Gives the Result of Careful In
yestigation as Leaving No Ground tor
Doubt.
Doubt.

The democratic county convention of
Jefferson county will assemble today at
Seals hall. The convention will be call
ed to order at IL o'clock by Hon. A. j.
Waldrop, chairman of the county exeeu-
tive committee.
Mr.. A. o. Lane, president of the john
ston democratic club, upon being asked
last night whether there was any doubt
at all of Captain Johnston's having
majority of the delegates in this county,
said:
ST have no more doubt Of Captain
Johnston's having carried the county
than of his having carried North High
lands beat [ have had the most careful
and thorough investigation made by an
actual visit to the outlying beats by such
men as John T. Reed, w. K. Terry, r. L.
Thornton, w. M. Bethea, Paul Green, L.
J. Haley, G. p. Ward, Joseph III. Mont
gomery, Cunningham Hickman, George
C. Whatley, G. p. Moore and j. M.
Crowder, and if human testimony is to
be believed Johnston has lis of the 216
delegates, not counting the contested
beats. No one can question the Veraci-
ty of such messengers sent out to investi-
gate, and they had information of the
most reliable and conclusive kind that
the beats we claim are surely and solid
1y for Johnston. Unless some of the
delegates go squarely back on their con-
stituents and violate the trusts reposed
in them, Johnston will surely get lis
votes in the convention. These votes he
is fairly and justly entitled to- and we in
tend that he shall have them"

cedents, the congressional delegations
present the names of their chosen dele
gates to the Chicago convention, should
the convention decide to reject such
names as are considered Objectionable
to the silverftes all kinds of trouble may
be looked for. The st. Louis contingent
is divided and will present the names of
several pronounced sound money advo-
Gates for delegates, the most prominent
of whom is Chairman Charles G. Mof-
fit of ST. Louis. The pleaders for har-
mony will insist that these delegates be
accepted and their credentials be signed
by the chairman and secretary of the
convention as per usage. Should the
convention dictators refuse to accept
them the committee on credentials at the

problem to solve.
Late tonight the story of mo quarter"
