that the horse fell upon the rider. Al

FOOD NEEDED IN PORTO RICO.
A Million And Half Dollars Necessary
to Prevent Starvation on The
Island.

The War Department has received
from General Davis. under date OF Au-
gust 10th, dispatch outlining the situa-
ton in Porto Rico. General Davis says:
al hope the relief supplies will be con-
fined to the foods. medicines and cloth
ing heretofore specified. The most pres
sing need is food. and the aggregate cost
of all that will be required to bridge over
the period until new supply OF fruits
and vegetables is grown will be an enor-
nous sum, perhaps reaching 81 500 900
"While thousands of families were left
helpless, their houses were generally
made of poles and matched. The places
where the destruction was greatest are
far in the interior, reached only by pack
mules. Ii will be next TO impossible to
transport lumber to those regions. Such
lumber as has been shipped will have to
be used near the seacoast, and the peo-
pie whose houses were blown away must
replace them with the same material as
that destroyed, which they are doing and
will do if the hungry are fed.
"Ii the charitable people OF the United
States relieve the hunger of all who would
famish, vast work will have been ac-
ccmplished, and all that. think, we
should be expected to attain. repeat
former request for 900 tons of food
weekly until further notice. While do
not want to discourage efforts to restore
dwellings, think it should not be at
tempted until it is sure that starvation
will be prevented"

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS.
Republican County Convention to Meet
on Thursday Democrats on
The Alert,

Considerable speculation was rife to-
day as to the ticket to be put in the field
by the republicans. The names OF new
candidates were mentioned in the general
Iun OF political gossip, and much interest
was manifested in the makeup of the
ticket.
DR.. w. G.. Tuck. chairman of the Re-
publican Central Committee, held a con-
ference with the republican county lead
ers and announced that the county con-
vendon would re.convene on Thursday
August SYST. at noon, at which time the
ticket is supposed to be made.
There will not be any material change
from that announced BY the CAPITAL
several days ago.
Democratic county politicians were
largely in evidence around the Court
House today. Information as to the con-
dition in each precinct and district was
eagerly sought after. The leaders an
nounced that things were progressing
tremendously. Notwithstanding reports to
the contrary.
The presence of Col. John Walter
Smith. the gubernatorial candidate. Chair
man Vandiver and Hon. Isidor Rayner,
candidate for attorney general. at West
River. seemed TO have soothing effect
on the disgruntled element. In speaking
of the meeting at Galesville last Satur-
day one prominent democrat said: "It
was pretty good, but the crowd in at
tendance might have been larger"
Among the prominent county demo
Gratis seen around the Court House today
were: DIR. Elijah Williams, William T.
LeatherburY. Isaac S. Nutwell. James
p. Bannon. Benjamin Watkins and S. B.
Hardy.
Among the republicans here today in
conference were X. L. Brice, l.. A. Pal
mer. George Duvall. Joseph Q. Fowler
and others.
