Southern Democrats believe that if
Parker is elected president he will be
liberal in his recognition of Southern
men in his appointments, and espe-
cially as members ofhis cabinet. There
is some gossip as to cabinet prObabili-
ties even now. The names of a num-
Der of Southern men are discussed in
connection with cabinet positions I'M
der a Democratic administration. In
Virginia there is one name that has
been mentioned many times already.
That is A. T.. BraXtOn, of StauntOn.
Mr. BraXton apparently has the best
wishes of all the Democratic factions
in Virginia and the demand for his APP
pointment in the cabinet would, it is
declared, come from all quarters of the
State and from all sides.-Correspond-

According to the monthly bulletin,

throughout the South, taken as a
whole, are better for the month OF
August than they have been for many
years. Corn is especially fiourishing,
and if the present conditions maintain
as they doubtless will unless unlocked
for calamities arise, the crop this year
will far exceed that of any ever turned
out by the farmers of the United
States. In Virginia corn shows up
much better than it has during any
year for ten years, the average condi-
ton in August being 81, against IS fol-
August, 1908; 81 for August 1902, and
a general average of SO for the last ten
years. A recent bulletin of the Depart
ment, as to the relative values of the
different crops per acre, shows that
sweet potatoes yield a greater value
per acre than any other product.

Hon. Henry G. Davis was formally
notified Wednesday afternoon OF his
nomination as the Democratic candl-
date for President Congressman
John Sharp Williams, chairman OF the
notification committee, delivered the
principal address, and speech OF re-
sponse was made by Mr. Davis. short
and informal, but full of striking SEN
fences, which not only captivated MS
audience, but which will commend
him still more as in every way worthy
of the second place on the ticket Inc
Democratic leaders are enthusiastic
about it and Republicans, who have
heretofore raised objections to Mr..
Davis ON ccount of his age,will hard
ly find any comfort now in opposing
his candidacy on that ground. No one
can read the speech without being con-
