EDITOR BANNER:-Please allow me a
small space in your readable columns to
say few things about the Chipley High
School. On the 18th OF March / had the
pleasure Of visiting the school In COM
pany with j. ID. f., the Singing Man and
the Deacon. SO you see we were a jolly
crowd. Ihave been visiting the schools
In Chipley for the last Is years, and now,
after going through the several Depart
ments of our High School, am prepared
to say that our school, presided over by
Prof. j. q. Fertig and his better half, to
gether with the able corps OF assistants,
Il. The best organized aud the most pro-
gressive school we have ever had IN the
town OF Chipley. The pupils are making
more progress and seem TO be- more thor
Ough In their studies than ever before. j
am informed by good authority that our
State Superintendent. Mr.. Sheats, says
that our school Is the bestin West Florida
and second In the State, so lift my hat
aud give three cheers for the present
management of the school. My opinion
now Is that all we need to have the best
school In the State Is for all the patrons
TO give IL that moral support which is so
necessary to build up a tirst-class school.
Having had some experience In teaching,
l know that the teachers need all the
sympany aud help in every way they can
get. Now would like to ask, how many
OF the patrons have visited the school
during this term? 1t is your duty to visit
your school and thus show to your chill
dren that you are Interested in their be-
half; and your presence will be an in
spiration and uplift TO both teacher and
pupil
Now we think that criticisms are out
of order unless we know from personal
knowledge what we are talking about
So am Ia favor OF retaining the present
management of our school for another
term.
Now, one or two words about our county
political outlook. Unless the Democrats
are on the alert in the primary we may
make grave mistake. IL understand
anything about the intention of the pri-
mary IL Is to be strictly white Demo-
cratic primary, and only white Democrats
are to be allowed toyvote In said primary.
Unless we are cautious there are breakers
ahead Look out. My opinion is that
we have some men as candidates who
failed TO vote or work for the party In the
last electlOnl and we want TO be careful
In the selection of our officers. And, re-
we want only sober, upright and
honorable men TO till our comfy offices.
and not men who would do all they can
TO bring our county OF Washington again
under the domination OF a whiskey ring.

charges against Mr.. Taliaferro's

Let no one assume, they say, that these
stockings, because they are made Of

will last almost as long as ordinary stock

Governor Jennings, in attempt
ing to discredit Senator Talia-
ferro before the people, has prac-
tically asserted that the Senator
has accomplished little or nothing
while representing the people of
Florida in the Senate. Hence it
may be we'll to call attention to
the facts, as shown by the Con-
gressional Record. Here is an
abstract of the bills introduced
by the Senator in the 56th and
57th Congresses:
Total bills and resolutions, 80.
Passed both Houses. ,...... ....10
Passed Senate only. g.
Referred TO Court OF Claims. 80. -
Read twice and referred ....~...16
Indefinitely postponed ........-... 2
1t will appear from the fore
going that more than twenty-five
and one-half per cent. of the
whole number introduced passed
both houses of Congress and be-
came laws; nearly fifteen and
one-half per cent. passed the
Senate, but failed to come up in
the House; nearly thirteen per
cent. pension and relief, bills
were referred for settlement to
the Court of Claims; a fraction
over forty-one per cent. did not
reach third reading on the cal
endar, while only fraction over
five per cent. of the whole num-
Der were defeated by the Senate
by indefinite postponement.

CAREER OF HON.
CHAS. W. FAIRBANKS.

y Charles Warren Fairbanks was
elected United States senator
from Indiana in 1897.
He is just past fifty.two, as he
was born May II, 1852, in Union
county, Ohio. where his father was
a poor farmer.
When IS years old, with $41 he
had saved and suit of clothes,
he went to Delaware, Ohio, and
entered the Ohio Wesleyan Uni.
versity, from which he was grad.
uated in 1872.
He read law at Pittsburg, Pa,
and Cleveland, Ohio.
When % years Of age he was
admitted to tie bar Of Ohio. Re.
moved to indianapolis, Indiana,
which has since been his home.
Hardly had he taken up his
habitation at indianapolis before
he was leader in his precinct,
then later in his ward, then his
city, and finally his state.
In 1892. he was chairman Of the
Indiana state republican conven.
ton and delivered the address
which gave him national fame and
brought his the republican lr
dorsement for United States sen.
ator later.
He is of commanding stature,
standing over 6 feet high, is for
chile and ready speaker.
He stands high at indianapolis,
where Mrs. Fairbanks. who is
president-generaI Of the Daugh.
tiers Of the American Revolution,
occupies prominent position So

months that President Roosevelt
would be nominated, and for days
that Fairbanks would be his running
mate, the mention Of Roosevelt's
name for the first time by Governor
Black in his nominating speech was
the signal for one Of the widest dem
onstrations ever witnessed In q re-
publican convention. For nearly halr
an hour the delegates cheered, sang
a song and marched around the great
hall waving their standards, and hags.
Chairman Cannon tried several times
to restore order so the speechmaklng
could proceed but every lull in the
demonstration was followed by a fresh
outburst and at that he allowed the
wild proceeding to continue until the
delegates were worn out and sought
their seats from sheer exhaustion.
Seconding speeches were made by
Senator Beveridge of Indiana, Elk
Gov. Bradley Of Kentucky, Mr.. Cotton
Of Minnesota, and Henry F. Cummings
Of Maryland.
The nomination of President Roose'
welt was made at Ito o'clock.
The nomination of Senator Fair
banks as running mate of the presi-
dent was made shorty after 2 O'Clock.
The presentation Of his name was
made by Senator Dolliver of Iowa In
an eloquent speech which was fire..
quently interrupted by bursts of ap.
plause. Senator Depew Of New York,
Senator Foraker of Ohio, Governor
Pennypacker OF Pennsylvania and Elk.
Senator Carter of Montana seconded
the. nomination of Senator Fairbanks.
A demonstration followed his nomfna.
ton and the completion of the ticket.
The convention adjourned after the
nomination of Fairbanks, having COM
pleted it's work.

in the electoral college and in ma
tional conventions.
The full significance of the plank
for the continuance of the provisions
of the Chinese act and for the fur.
therance Of all legitimate efforts to
obtain for American citizens abroad,
without discrimination, the rights of
sojourn and travel, was not appre.
ciated when read in the convention.
Chicago, June A.-Tneodore Roose-
welt was nominated for president of
the United States and Chas w. Fair
banks, Of Indiana for vice.president
at the closing session Of the republi.
can national convention yesterday
afternoon.
The nominations in each case were
made by roll call Of states, each state
being anxious to record its vote, and
came following a series OF able and
eloquent addresses which aroused the
greatest enthusiasm among the dele.
gates and spectators.
Although the program was cut and
dried. and everybody has known Tor

limit the representation OF territories
and other voteless districts. 1t was
disposed of through an amendment
to the rules offered by Representative
Bingham, chairman of the committee.
He proposed that the representation
hereafter should be two delegates
from Hawaii, but that the six dele.
gates already seated should not be
disturbed. 1t was carried by q vote
Of 497 to 400.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials interested the convention
only SO GAG as II dealt with the Wis.
consin situation. Senator McComas
Of Maryland, chairman of the com.
mittee, read a report Of the investi.
cation Of the contest. He took the
delegates into the confidence Of the
committee and explained in detail
that thorough canvass was made
into the merits Of the contest, despite
the fact that the contestants had
withdrawn their claims on the ground
that fair treatment could be had. He
said the imputation was directed at
the convention itself, and though re-
scented deeply by the committee, the
inquiry was exhaustive and patient.
The report closed with a declaration
that the. "stalwart" faction, led by
Senators Spooner and Quarles, Rep
resentative Babcock and Judge Emil
Baensch, the four delegates.at-large,
is the regular republican party in
Wisconsin. This national indorse-
ment of the faction headed by the two
United States senators from that state
evoked prolonged applause.
One of the remarkable features
concerning the adoption of the plat.
form was the fact that 1t had been

Chicago, June 24.-George B. Cor
telyou was chosen chairman of the re-
publican committee at a meeting held
yesterday just after the adjournment
of the convention.
In thanking the committee for the
honor he told the members that While
he would be glad to have the benefit
of their advice and counsel, he intend
ed to be chairman in fact and would
accept no dictation from anyone,
high or low. He told them that the
friends of the late chairman, Mr.. Han
ma, were his friends and he asked for
the same measure of confidence and
support that had been given to the
last chairman. In conclusion he
sought the advice Of both old and
new members.
Mr.. Cortelyou made no formal
statement Of his plans. He resigned
as secretary Of commerce and labor

and was accepted without dissent

In addition to the tariff plank and
other resolutions which always have
had a prominent position in republi.
can platforms, there were Incorporate
ed several classes of striking interest.
One of these is a plank looking to the
reduction of the representation of
certain southern states in the cleo.
toral college and in congress. It is
built upon what is known as the
Payne resolution" offered eight
years ago, and the Quay resolution
offered years ago, but goes further
than either. The plank directs an
investigation to ascertain whether
there have been unconstitutional dis
Embellishments Of voters in any state,
and if so, demands reduction of the
representation of such states in con-
gress, with the consequent reduction
