MAKING A FIGHT on BAILEY.
Texas Democrats Are Delaying Con-
vention's Work.

Austin, Tex, June 2O.-Contrary to ex-
pectation the Democratic State conven-
ton which met here to-day did not ad-
journ tonight. nor have delegates been
named to the National convention at
Kansas City.
The convention was early thrown into
an anti-expansion fight which was waged
all afternoon and evening. The fight was
preccipitated by an effort on the part of
Congressman Bailey to have the conven-
tion endorse his ant-expansion resolu-
tion.
Mr.. .Baileys opponents submitted a mi
nority report to the convention tonight
favoring expansion as against anti-expan-
sion and the debate probably will protract
the deliberations of the convention over
Thursday.

SPECIAL MEETING OF FIREMEN.

A call meeting of the Lexington fire
men was held Monday night for the
purpose of considering and taking final
action in regard to inviting the State
Firemen's Association to meet hero in
1901. A majority of the members not
being present no action was taken, and
another meeting was called for Friday
night at s o'clock, and every fireman
is requested to be present as this is an
important matter. The only obstacle
which seems to bother our fremen is
the fact that the convention meets on
the fourth Wednesday in September Of
each year, and it is thought by many
that Lexington could not entertain the
convention after the opening Of all the
schools and there are those who believe
that we can. 1t is probable that the
Lexington delegation to the convention
will try to overcome this obstacle by
havin5 the time Of meeting changed 10
an earlier date.
The racing team, which will defend
the reput ition of the Lexington Fire
Department in the contests at Rich
mond next week, is composed as fol-
lows: q. B. Beckwitb, captain and

GRATEFUL SHO WERS.

After many days and weeks of in
tense heat, Lexington on Saturday en-
joyed cool and refreshing showers.
Throughout a greater part Of the day
there was a gentle fall of rain, which
was quickly absorbed by the thirsty
ground and parched Vegetation, At
night. however, the rain fell in torrents,
which replenished the waited in North
river which had become so low as to
interfere with the lighting of our
streets, and the town was in darkness
Friday night. The atmosphere since
Monday morning has been delightfully."-
cool, and many persons have had to
kindle fires for comfort.

FALL CROPS IN ROCKBRIDGE

Farmers have been agreeably SUI
prised in cutting up their corn to find
it much better than they expected.
The fodder and stalk, together with
much of the shuck, is Of little value as
feed this year-in many places it is
a crisp, and the wind has twisted it
toto ribbons. When the plart was
shooting" there were seasonable rains,
and the development of the ear hos
been marvellous since the drouth set
in.
The hay crop is a short one, and
good hay is now So 10 S14. In April
we had no rain, and without plentiful
showers during this month weeds get
the START of the grass, and the conse-
quence is much wcedy hay. of little
commercial value.
Gardens suffered equally with the
field crops, Tomatoes, abbage, sweet
and Irish potatoes, snaps, were all i'm
significant in yield. The apple crop,
which is our mainstay, is dropping
fast, and there will be no great amount
on the market. Probably one fourth
OF the crop can be saved, This crop
las been a source of much revenue to
the county in past years.
All commercial transactions arc de-
pendent upon the prosperity of tie
farmer, and he in turn upon Providence
for sunshine and rain to make profit
able crop. When tbs "earth is iron
and the sun is brass" he fails. But
all in all, he is better off than the mer-
chant, railroad or the sailing ship, for
he generally gets living out of his
land, whilst these business men get
theirs out of a profit in handlnn The
products OF the farmer.
