NOT FRACTIONAL, INDEED,

Some of the Foster organs and
leaders have expressed a desire
that delegates to the Constitutional
Convention be elected on nom
factional lines; that all differences
be laid aside for this time at least,
and only men of sound judgment,
ability, honesty and well-known
fidelity to the Democratic party be
selected.
This idea was so sound and de-
served so much merit that it caused
a strong element of suspicion to
take firm hold on all who know
the class of men who lead and up
hold-as mouth pieces-this adj
ministration faction. How well
founded was this suspicion was
soon evidenced in a short while by
the suggestion of the States, one
of the strongest Murphy j. Foster
organs in the State, that it would
be good plan for the State Gen.
trail Committee of the Democratic
party to nominate the thirty six
delegates at large. Gould any act
be more un-Democratic Was
this not fighting the battle on nom
factional lines with a vengeance
True, the States was opposed in
this by the Baton Rouge Advocate,
the official organ of the adminis-
tration. True that the States dis
claimed any suggestion from Gov
ernor Foster as to its position, but
that it acted on it's own accord in
the matter; still from the fact of
it's influence and standing with
the administration, shows how
some of the leaders are fighting
the battle on non-factional lines.
But let this pass. The con-
vincing argument is in store, and
the great State Central Committee
is expected to be the heavy man
in the play.
1t will be remembe red that owing
to quarantine restrictions this
meeting, advertised for October
9Th and 9th, was postponed in

position for the chairman to take,
and all were content and those in
terested were watching for future
developments, thinking, of course,
that Chairman Kruttschuit would
have the policy-if not the fair
ness-to give adequate notice of
the meeting, knowing, as he must
know, that all quarantine restric-
tons had not been removed.

A hundred thousand men had passed
The Rapidan with ease,
A hundred thousand foes were massed
Behind the forest trees.
A thousand cannon volleyed forth,
A thousand guns replied,
Ten thousand wounded strewed the
earth,
Ten thousand men had died.
The forest famed. the ground was
drenched,
They never saw the sun,
The silent captain never blanched,
But urged his thousands on.
There, mile by mile, the way was won,
Six days within the wood,

For Richmond southwark stood.
Oh was it not a glorious yell
That rose from all the host
Who, bursting from that burning hell,
Perceived the sun at last
oh was not deed renowned,
Within that gloomy wood,
All night to fight the flames around,
All day to wade through blood?
Oh was he not captain grand,
Whose courage never quailed,
Whose Onward p was his sole COM
mand,
Whose armies never failed
And it is not glorious land
For which those thousands bled ?
For freedom and for union stand
Those mountain piles of dead.

they believe the price of raw cotton is
ready TO advance. Competition from
southern mills-more particularly over
production by manufacturers who pro-
duce but a single staple-underles the eX-

prices. COnverters and manufacturers OF

favorably. Other lines are expecting more

has made several eloquent speeches in

$40 head for bulls in Georgia. He says
this will bless South Georgia more than
any other section. Mr.. Mansfield said
that his prize-hght bill would bring mill
lions of dollars to Georgia, and secure a
revival of prosperity; that cotton would
go up to 10 cents, and other products take
an upward tendency.
