The age-herald., 1898-05-18

The convention, which had been called to order at 1215, adjourned after half-hour session to meet at oclock. The 400th bal lot had just been taken.
 The Afternoon Session
 Several interesting debates arose during the afternoon session. MT. Lowe offered a resolution to the effect that each delega- tion should designate which of it's dele- gates represented whole votes in the con- vention and which the fractional votes. He said that as matters now were fractional delegate had as much voice in a rising vote as a delegate with a whole vote; that now the fractional delegates with the whole delegates made about 45 votes in the con vention, while in reality the convention had only 37. After a long debate his motion was lost. This occurred on the 419th bal lot.
 On the 4ssth ballot Coleman threw his entire strength and Miller a portion of his. to Charles w. Ferguson, the solicitor of he district, giving him a complimentary vo e of 5.36.
 All the afternoon the convention was very impatient and every few ballots a motion to adjourn was offered. As Hanby express ed it, the delegates living in Birmingham wanted plenty of time to show the dele gates from Walker and Winston what ex- cellent water and other drinks could be found in Birmingham A hot running fight, So to speak, was kept up until after the 443d ballot, when the convention adjourned until o'clock this morning. This occurred at 5:30 o'clock.
 Delegates as They Now stand
 The delegates have been changed some- what since the convention adjourned in Jasper, and they are as follows:
 Wards Delegation-J. J. Altman, w. A. Walker, s. w. John, B. F. Roden, R. H. Hagood, l.. J. Haley, R. J. Waldrop, John Hanby, O. W. Ward, c. A. Mountjoy and R. D. Johnston, of Jefferson; G. D. O'Rear, J. A. Higgins (proxy), and J. H. McQuire, of Walker; J. w. Bush (proxy), of Win ston.
 Banks Deegation--Morris Loveman. vasser L. Allen, Robert Hillhouse, W. c. Garrett (proxy) E. H. Cabaniss (proxy), J. l.. Tanner, F. E. Ellis, D. w. Houston and w. A. Porter, of Jefferson; R. W. Cor don and J. M. Masterson of Walker; R. L.. Blanton (proxy), and c. l.. Haley (proxey), of Winston.
 Miller's Delegation-Felix Blackburn, Mel Drennen Wm. Jackson, s. s. Shores, Lee Bradley Walter Moore and Escar sFloyd, of Jefferson; John H. Bankhead and J. s. Freeman, of Walker, and B. A. Payne, of Winston.
 Coleman's Delegat'on-M. J. Gregg. J. T. Garrettson, P. G. Bowman. c. B. Powell and Robert J. Lowe of Jefferson.
 Some of the delegates say that the nem- nation will be made today, but from the ffrmness of the deadlock as it appeared yesterday afternoon many cannot see how it will be done. In spite of the monotony of the convention all of the delegates seem to hold on with A bulldog tenacity.

There is a movement now on foot
among some of the undertakers of the
state and it is a practice in vogue in
many places to mention in connection
with funeral the names of those Off
ciating, says the Anderson Bulletin. If
this rule is followed all along the line
the funeral notice Of the future will read
something like this:
1.-THE funeral of John Jones occurred
today; he was attended by DIR. Black,
who was greatly surprised that he lasted
go long. Blodger's hearse. drawn by a
team of fine horses from Smiths livery
stable, who makes specially of fine
rigs, try him, was driven by Hank
Rogers who had sobered up for the oc-
casion and who greases and cleans
harness at 81 90 per set. Give him q
call. The undertakers were Hart &
Hart; many remarked on the beauty Of
the $35 coffin sold on monthly payments.
Bill Spoon had done good job of dig
ging the grave for SIS, and the remains Of
the deceased were laid to rest with great
pomp, while the widow sobbed audibly
under borrowed veil.''

Postoffice rules have been posted in

Postoffice rules have been posted in a
neighboring town as follows:
''No letters will be delivered until
they have been received. If you don't
get letter or paper on the day you ex
pect it. have the postmaster look
through all the boxes. 1t ought to be
there some where, and he likes to hunt
for it to please you. If your friends
don't write, cuss the postmaster. He is
10 blame. If he tells you there is no
mail for you, put on grieved express

He is probably hiding your mail for tbe
pleasure of having you call for it two OF

at Bay City, which he describes in re-

"The company expects to turn out
6 100000 pounds of granulated sugar

sugar is 1 need only to say that some oi

and showed 80 per cent. sugar.

results in inspection of the Bay City
factory by saying it g a grand success
more than realizing the expectations o
those who for years have hoped ant
worked for the establishing of the bse
sugar industry in Michigan.
"The farmers are more than satisfied

his beets, How do you like this business

The synoptic idea of treatment for

something like this, but 1t rarely sue

which is the period required for the
poison to run Its course. Give concen-
trated foods for nourishment.
lntenslfylng the MUSHROOM mystery
Is the fact that no chemical antidote
to musearin is known. Tannie acid,
the chemical aniidote to alkalolds gen
orally, does not precipitate 1t. Boiling
the mushrooms in acidulated water be-
fore cooking is worse than useless. 1t
dissolves the poison and promotes Its
absorption.
The poison of the death cup" or
"amanita phalloldes," is phallln. 1t acts
on the system different from muscarina.
1t does not Kill by heart paralysis, like
muscarln, but by disorganizati ton of the
blood and consequent exhaustion. En-
forced vomiting in this case is likewise
recommended. No antldote for phallln
Is known.
Now comes the rub. The value OF
edible mushrooms as an article of food
is undisputed, both as Il luxury and
owing TO Their highly nutritious proper
ties, AS food they compare fayorably
with beefsteak. For this reason and to
further the interests of the honest
mushroom mycological clubs are under
formation throughout the country.
