FINAL STRUGGLE COMES TODAY
Terrell Delegates Have Left for State Convention Elec
ton of Delegates to National Convention and Ques-
ton of Instructions Will Cause Warm Fights.

The sound of the gavel today in the
hall OF the house of representatives in
the state capitol will call to order one
of the most important conventions OF
the democr attic party that has met in
Georgia in years, and one in which
two big fights are promised before the
deliberations of the body end.
The Terrell county delegates are j..
M. Grlggs, A. M. Raines, E. L. Rainey
and M. J. Yeomans, and all of them
have left for Atlanta and will be pres
ent when the business of the big gath
ering of democrats is begun.
Special local interest attaches to the
convention because Of the fact that a
Terrell county citizen will preside
over 1T, and another is candidate for
delegate at large to the national con-
vention. Hon. M. J. Yeomans will be
chosen without opposition chairman OF
the state democratic committee for the
next two years. Hon. j. VI Griggs is
a candidate for delegate from the state
at large to the national convention,
but a strong fight is being made upon
him by the extreme Parker element
OF Georgia, led by Hoke Smith, the
Atlanta Journal and a few lesser
lights who have not been in close
touch with the party in several years.
Judge Griggs is very popular, howev-
err, and it is not believed that the
Parker faction ia strong enough to
turn him down.
Briefly stated, the work of the con-
ventiou will be to elect delegation to
represent Georgia at the national con-
vention of the democratic party. de-
eide the question as to whether the
members of it shall go instructed,
and also adopt platform of principles,
state and national. From present in
dications it appears that Jack j. Spald-
ing of Fulton county will be elected
temporary chairman, and NJ. }. 4eo-
mans of Terrell permanent chairman

COTTON THIEF GOT 5 YEARS
Heavy Sentence Imposed in the Supe-
rior Court for an 0ffense That Is
GETTING to Be Common.

Every fall there is much complaint
among farmers of negroes stealing cot
ton, but if there is anything in the
example of heavy punishment for the
crime it will not be SO frequent in the
future.
In the superior court last week Rob-
ert Laid was convicted of stealing a
bale of cotton from the gin house OF
Mr.. W. D. Davidson last fall and
sentenced to five years in the peniten-
tiary. Harrison Butts, a confederate
in the crime, pleaded guilty, and was
fined SIS. Ladd's attorneys have Civ
en- notice of motion for new trial.
This was the only case in which
there was a conviction for felony OF.
Tense during the week. A number OF
sentences were imposed for INSIDE
meanor crimes.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1904-06-01

This is the way it looks now. If any
other plan of organization is on foot
the parties behind it have kept it to
themselves.
The first big fight will develop when
it comes to the selection of the four
delegates that are to represent the
state at large. The other, and in all
probability the warmest of the two,
will come when the question of in
struction is brought up for considera-
ton. Eight we'll known Georgians
are in the race as candidates
for election as delegates from the
state at large, and from this num-
Der four are to be elected. They are:
J. M. Griggs of Terrell, c. R. Pendle'
ton of Bib, ]. R. Gray OF Fulton, Jas.
M. Smith of Oglethorpe, J. H. Estill
of Chatham, H. Fl. Perry of Hall and
J. L. Sweat of Ware. There will no
doubt be a good deal of sectional trad
ing when 1t comes to the selection OF
the "big FOUR" and much of this will
be done before the convention meets.
The scrap of the day will take place
when the convention calls up the ques-
ton as to whether the delegates shall
go to the national convention instruct
ed to vote for Parker or anyone else.
Many delegates to the convention will
be present strongly advocating both
sides of this question, and many out
siders will have equally as much to
say upon the subject.
The convention will in all probable
ity be one of the largest ever held in
the state, some of the counties having
elected as many as twenty delegates to
it.
The business of the convention will
be commenced by the reading OF the
returns of the primary held April 20,
showing who are the nominees of the
party in the state for all of the OF
fees to be filled at the general cleo
tion.

$50 DELEGATES ELECTED
A LARGE MAJORITY OF THEM NOT
TIED WITH INSTRUCTIONS.
Parker Has I46, Hearst 81 and 295 Are
Not Instructed for Any One. States
That Act This Week.

Five hundred and fifty delegates
have been elected to the st. Louis con-
vention.
During last week conventions were
held in the states of Arizona, Ohio,
Tennessee, Alabama and Maryland
Ohio, with it's 46 votes; Alabama, with
twenty-five votes, and Maryland with
sixteen votes sent uninstructed dele
gates to the convention. Tennessee,
with tweuty-four votes, instructed for
Parker, and Arizona sent six votes to
the convention foriHearst
or the $50 delegates selected 255 are
uninstructed. The remaining 295 are
divided as follows:
Parker, 146; Hearst, 81; OlneV, 81;
Wall, 26. OF the total vote Judge
Parker, the leading candidate, thus
far has about one-fourth absolutely
instructed for him.
Five democratic state conventions
casting eighty-four votes will be held
this week, and the indications are that
the uninstructed votes will continue to
increase. Conventions will be held iD
Georgia, Michigan, Nebraska and OK
lahoma on Wednesday and in Wyoming
on Thursday.
Georgia has been counted certain for
Judge Parker, but there is now said to
be some doubt about the state instruct
ing. Governor Terrell and Commits
sioner of Agriculture Stevens have
come out in statements against in
structing, and as they will control the
convention the state may send aud up-
instructed delegation. Michigan and
Nebraska are expected to send unin-
structed delegations, while Wyoming
and Oklahoma are said to be inclined
for Hearst.

Few brides care to go to the altar without complying with the old adage. Something old' is frequently the we'd ding veil itself which if of good lace. is handed down as an heirloom to be worn by all the brides of a family Something new is hard to get away from, as the garments of a bride are usually of self evident freshness Something borrowed is easily com piled with-a pin, ring or hairpin an swering every purpose.

CHANGES IN FULL DRESS.
There Are Several, Though They May
 Seem Minute.

Changes, minute though they may be, in evening dress, are always worthy of the notice of the man who wishes to be properly gsrbed fc~ occasions call ing for absolutely correct full dress One of the chief changes to he noticed this season is the deep roll or the turn of the lapels. which should crease down to rhe buttonhole above the waist seam, and from there to the bottom the lapels should have d more slant ing or cutaWay shape than formerly.
 Tie length Of the skirt should be ex- tended to the hinge of the knee and have a rounded effect at the bottom. The coat should be silk faced to the ex- treme edges, with a silk collar, al though a cloth collar may be used if da- sired. The cuffs may be made with a bluff edge around the top ard should be finished with either two CT three buttons. The length of the waist fer the average man should be eighteen and Cne-half inches, and of the coat about forty inches.
 The roll, or shawl collar dress coat has regained much of it's lost popular ity. It is always silk faced to the edge. but otherwise is like the larel dress coat.
 The dress waistcoat may be either single, or double breasted, and should show as much of the shirt front as pos sible. The single breasted waistCoat will close with three buttons, and the double breasted will have three buttons on each side. For nearly all ocCssOns the waistcoat should be of white wash able material. The trousers this season will be finished with one or two rows of braid down the side seam. They should be about nineteen and one-half or twenty inches at the knee, and sixteen to seventeen around the bottom for the average man.

THE POLITICAL EDUCATION OF

The great issue in the sixth Ala baua congress district is whether Cap tain Richmond P. Hobson shall be- come a statesman. It seems odd that he should te willing to risk his repu- tation as hero in the hurly-burly of politics. but the man who ran the gauntlet of Morro and Socapo with the MerTimac fears nothing but obliv- ion. In stumping the district against the Hon. John Hollis Bankhead, the present representative, he is very much in the limeiight, and is having the time of nis life. Let it Tot be supposed, however, that he is not terribly in earnest Hk believes in his soul that if he goes to congress the United States will have the biggest navy in the world.
