ganization. The members have pledged
themselves to do all they can, legiti-

There is a suspicion abroad that there

is the earnest desire of a majority of
our citizens to stop these leaks. Quit
man is realizing that vigilance is the
price of prohibition. One of Quitman's
attorneys has been retained to assist
the solicitor of the county court.

DulIOch Times Has scheme for
Getting South Georgia Opinion.
Statesboro, Ga, July 30.-The Bull
loch Times will call attention to-mor-
row to the gubernatorial race in the
way of settling upon some one man in
South Georgia before the state NOM
mating convention meets. 1t will be
useless for South Georgia man to
make the race with two or more from
this section as running mates. 1t will
be proposed by the Times that a eau

counties of the First, Eleventh and
Second Congressional districts to meet
in some Southern town. say Waycross
some time this fall. and select a man
from this section to make the race
before the state convention. Hon. w
G.. Brantley has declined to accept the
nomination. and makes the strong
point that II the people Of North and
Middle Georgia wish to use the slogan
Of non-sect ionalism. the only way 10
make II effective is to support a South
Georgia man this time, for all the
state house officers heretofore have
come from the upper portion OF Geor-
gia. This view OF the matter is taxi
ing fast hold OF the people Of the en-
tire state. and the sooner the southern
part gets recognition the sooner the
idea Of sectionalism will fade out.
While some portions Of the districts
named above run up into the middle Of
the state. yet each congressional dis
trict IL more less closely allied IN po-
litical interests and they could hardly
be divided IN the matter. The Times

the bottle of wine over the PROV in
conventional style.
Then followed the formal presenta-
ton of the colors by Mr.. Charles ].
Bayne of the Chronicle and their re-
ception by Miss Roberta Purse of Sa-

pany. Refreshments were served and
the new steamer was introduced to the

Objection to the statement and asking
that 1t be made orally by the asylum at
tendants was overruled.
The present phase of the case is tedious
and morbid and spectators have fallen off
in number. The expected close of the de-
fense this week is hardly looked for now.
Relatives on the Stand.
The evidence of the defendants mo-
ther, his sister Mrs. Sweeney, and broth
er Tom, all told of the history of the
family within the knowledge of each 1t
unveiled the mental unbalance that has
existed in the family for nearly a century.
The case is likely to go down in
the history of law as one of momentous
bearing and far-reaching effect. The de-
fendant has been charged with murder in
the first degree and so far no evidence
has been offered in the nature of a justi-
fication of the act and the law of this
state prescribes the penalty as death by
hanging or Imprisonment for life at hard
labor.
The jury has thus been placed in the
position that it will either have to
convict Barry and recommend one or the
other of the above as punishment for the
crime, or it will be obliged to acquit
him on the grounds that he was insane at
the time he killed Mellem.
From the stand the defense has taken
there does not appear to be any middle
ground for the jury to stand on.

THE NEGRO AS A VOTER
Sole Campaign Issue of the Mary
land Democrats.

Sole Campaign Issue of the Mary
land Democrats.
Baltimore, Aug. 2.-The democratic
state convention declared that the pur-
pose of the party if successful in the
coming election, is to eliminate the negro
from politics in Maryland if such thing
be possible under the constitution of the
state. Upon this, the paramount issue Of
the campaign, will stand the candidates
nominated for state Offices and candidates
for places in the legislature Of 1902. Under
the advice and guidance Of Mr.. German
the following declaration upon the chief
point in issue was evolved:
The democratic party represents more than
40 900 majority Of the white people of Mary
land. They, in common with their brethren
of other states into which large masses Of
colored voters have been injected into the
order, personal safety and proper develop
ment of our material interests depend upon
the control of the commonwealth by its inte1-
ligent white residents Without the aid Of the
5000 colored voters, the republican party in
Maryland would be in hopeless minority.
We, therefore, without hesitation, proclaim
that the success of the democratic party will
mean that while we shall deal with perfect
fairness in securing all the benefits of good
government and full and free opportunities
for education to all classes, such action must
be taken as to prevent the control of the
state government passing into the hands Of
those who have neither the ability nor the
interest to manage public affairs wisely and
we'll

Than, of Cheyenne; Rev. Father T. M.

These three names were sent to Rome
nine weeks ago to-day, and until the an
nouncement comes from Rome no one Will

The fact that Bishop Lenihan's name
heads the list is significant. Mgr. Conaty,
rector of the Catholic university, will not
be bishop Of the Sioux City see. He has
just been created titular bishop. AS
is the custom in bestowing such titles,
Mgr. Conaty will be made bishop OF
some see of little Importance, where he
will have no duties to attend to, as he
is to be retained as rector of the univer-
sity.
Rev. E. w. Fowler, of this city, has re-

Conaty and Archbishop Ireland, and his

Tremendous Crops of Flax and Wheat in the

Settlers Prosperous.

but the moment one strikes the hill coun-
try towards the west, a change for the
better is apparent at once.
Last year the new settlers in the north
west counties found the times hard because
there were no crops above what was
necessary for bare subsistence. There
was a shortage of grass for stock, and in
many instances conditions approached
seriousness. This year all is changed
and the hills and valleys of Ward, Wells,
Pierce, Benson. Towner and other counties
are glorious with bountiful crops.
OF these crops fax is the great leader.
Wheat cuts but small figure in Ward
county, western Wells county and the
other new settlements. For miles there
are acres of fax, clean and promising a
splendid yield, and nearly all of this acre
age is first crop. In many instances the
crop will pay for the farm this year, which
will furnish a support for all these north
west counties that cannot easily be over
estimated. With the splendid fax crop
is bountiful supply of fodder Farmers
can carry the stock they have and provide
for more
The crop conditions in these western
counties will have an important bearing
on railroad earnings. Here is a large
acreage that IS coming in as a permanent
support to the Great Northern, the North

years back there was almost no cultivation
