HARMONY
PREVAILED.
The Anti-Hughes Republicans Bury
Their ratchet.
Only One Convention Held Monday
Candidates Nominated For the
Legislature.

The dove of peace has brought the
olive branch TO the warning factions in
the G. o. p. in Maury county, and the
lion and the lamb have lain down to-
gether. The Hughesites and the anti
Hughesites have all ''jined' hands in
brotherly love and climbed into the
"band waggin" together, with the
Colonel still ahold of the lines.
1he threatened bolt against Col.
Hughes and his methods fizzled out.
There was only one Repub lean conven-
ton held Monday; that was the Hughes
convention, and harmony prevailed
throughout,
The County Republican Executive
Committee met at IL O'Clock Monday
morning at the Court House, with Chair
man jackson presiding. The only busi-
ness transacted was the nominating of
DR.. j. s. Bumpass as Chairman and d.
X Minor as Secretary of the Ley islative
mass meeting, which was announced to
convene at noon at he same place. The
committee then adjourned until October
80, when Hon. John K. Mccall, the Re-
publican nominee for Governor, will
speak in Columbia.
At 12 o'clock the legislative mass
meeting was called to order by the
temporary chairman, DR.. Bumpass.
w. A Derryberry vas elected perma-
nent chairman, and upon taking the
stand made short speech. N. p.
Greggs, colored, was elected permanent
secretary.
j. w. jackson nominated w. A.
Derryberry and Walter T. Brooks as
candidates for the Legislature, and both
were elected unanimously.
Col. Hughes stated that he had re-
ceived letter from the Republican
chairman of Perry county, saying that
w. o. Ayeritt of that county, had been
nominated for Senator for this district.
Upon motion, the nomination was en-
dorsed
The nomination of w. J.. Hale of
Lewis, for Foater, was also endorsed.
The following names we're added to
the county executive committee: W.
A. Derry berry, A. T. Braxton, w. A.
Quarterman, j. w. Johnson. Robert
Gri- som. B. F. DUbbins, John Guthrie,
Wesley Watkins, Thomas Banks, Ike
Love, Ned Gates
In response to number of calls, Col
Hughes took the stand and made a
speech, in which he denounced Bryan
and the Democratic party in strong terms
and predicted big victory for Mckinley
and Republicanism on November 6
He was literally appauded by hi:
! hearers.
DR.. A. T. Braxton, colored. was ther
called on for speech. He attacked the
Democrats for creating the Dortch law
and expressed the belief that twent!
years from now would see the separate
coach law, the partisan ballot laws, ant
other laws against the negro in the
South, repealed.
The meeting then adjourned.

Santa Barbara, Cal, Oct. 13.-The
Wisconsin has just completed the
most successful trial trip ever made
by battleship and she is pro-
bounced the finest vessel ever turned
out by the Union iron works. At the
start many things seemed against a
successful trial. An easterly wind
was kicking up a choppy sea and
threatening a squally voyage.
After "a Preliminary Spin.
After a preliminary spin over a
short course the big vessel steamed
full ahead, passing. the eastern bea-
con at 1920 a. m. at a speed exceed
ing 16 knots. The course was marked
by the battleship Iowa, gunboat
Ranger, training ship Adams and
cruiser Philadelphia Between the
Ranger and Gavetier wharf the Wis
consin gained her maximum speed of
1884 knots an hour and maintained
throughout the westerly course an
average speed of 1880 knots. The av-
erage speed of the entire run, Ga
knots, was 1925 knots per hour.
Her Nearest Competitors.
The only battleship approaching
this speed was the Alabama, which
averaged 17.13 knots and attained a
maximum speed of 1903 knots. The
average of propeller revolutions dur
ing the western run was 1904 per
minute, and on the return 110.15, a
difference of only 10 of a revolution
So close run has never been made
before. The AVERAGE steam pressure
was $50 pounds and the vessel was un.
der forced draugbt. The boiler
valves lifted frequently. When at her
maximum speed the vibration was
slight, approximately the horse pow
er was 1880. 1t is expected that the
tidal corrections, when computed, will
indicate greater speed than recorded
as the current was against the vesse
for longer period than with her.
Not a Marring Incident.
The weather continued squally
some rain falling, until more thar
half the course was completed. After
turning at the western beacon of
Point Conception she had white car
sea, bows on, for nearly one-fourtl
of the course. She shipped no water
forward, but the water rose in tn,
bow wave 25 feet. From the start tC
| finish there was not a marring Incl
dent, not an irregularity in the move
ments of the machinery. Withou
stopping the engines the trial boart
took charge of the ship, after the run
and put her through the required evo

SERIOUSLY BURNED.
Mrs. 7. ]. Shaw the Victim of a
Painful Accident.

Mrs. Thomas j. Shaw was the unfor-
tunate victim of serious accident last
Friday at her home on South High
street. She had been heating some coal
oil before the fire, for the purpose of
applying it to one of the children, when
the oil blazed up and ignited her cloth
ing. Her body was almost enveloped
by the flames, and Mrs. Shaw rushed
from the room into the yard. A negro
who happened to be near ran to her
rescue and put out the blaze; not. how
ever, until her hands and the left side
Of her body had been badly burned.
While her injuries are Of very serious
and painful nature, her physician does
not think they viii result fatally. Her
friends sympathize with her in her mis-
fortune, and hope that her injuries may
rapidly heal.
