OVER PRODUCTION

NEW YORK, April 1S.-When steel
and iron stocks took tumble In Wall

generally were nonplused at the slump

influence.
Later in the day came the news of
the closing down of some of the largest
mills of the American Steel and Wire
company, Gil located in the ~est and
having a combined capacity of about
400 tons daily. About 10000 men are

TENNESSEE
The Republican State Conven tlon
To-MOrrOW


NASHVILLE. April 18.-This city is
crowded with leading republicans of
Tennessee today. The occasion is the
state conven tion of the party, which
will convene here tomorrow. Delegates
and slternates to the national con-
ventiOn will be chosen and candidates
nominated for governor and railroad
commissioner. Altogether the indica-
tiOns are that the convention will be
a very animated affair, Notwithstanding
the fact that the combine between
Congressman Brownlow and Congress
man Gibson appears to have clarified
the political sea to great extent.
The Brownlow faction asserts it's
ability to absolutely control the state
convention, the claims of the friends
of Pension Commissioner Evans to the
contrary notwithstanding. The Brown
low people have slated John E. Mccall.
former congressman, for the guberua a.
torial nomination.
Mccall was slated for delegate
to the national convention, but
under the Brownlow-G Gibson deal,
his place will probably be taken by
Congressman Gibson on the delegate

INSURANCE MEN
The Fifteen per Cent Commission
REGULATION


WASHINGTON, April 18.-Insurance
men throughout the south are greatly
Interested in the pr oceedipgs of the
nineteenth annual meeting of the
Southeastern Tariff association which
is in session to day at the Shoreham.
At the special meeting held last
October the association declared that
the Is per cent commission pledged
must be signed by mem bers and agents,
the penalty for violation OF the rule
being fine of 81 900.
One or two of the largest companies
doing business in the south opposed
the exaction of the pledges on the
ground that to enforce them would re-
suit in a separation Of agen cies in the
south. The question to be settled at
the present meeting Is whether these
companies can be brought into line.
There is also considerable talk
among the members regarding the
presidency. The two candidates whose
names are most prominently
mentioned are 81. G. Stockdell of the
Phoenix aud Milton Dargan of the
Lancashire. Friends of both men are
pulling the political wires today>and a

tween the two candidates has de-

The multitudes who use this standard

do not know why. Tho simple reason is that
Mr.. Major uses the best materials ever dis
covered and other manufac turers do not
use them, because they are too expensive
md do not allow large profits. Nh. Majo
tells us that one of the elments of his cement
gallon, while n large share of the so-cailed
cements and liquid glue upon the market
are nothing more than siXteen-cent glue,
dissolved In water or cit ric acid, and. in
some cases, altered slightly in color and
odor by the addition of cheap and useless
materials.
Majors cement retals at l5 cents and 25
cents u bottle, and when dealer tries to
sell substitute you can depend upon 1t that
his only object Is to make larger profit
The profit on Majors cement is as much
as any dealer ought TO make on any cement.
And this is douby true In view of the fact
that onch dealer gets his share of the bene-
fit of Mr.. Majors advertising. which now
amounts to over 5000 month. throughout
