A travelling man who had been on a
business trip through northern Texas
while east of Greenville had occasion
to hire a buggy to go across the coun-
try, and with the buggy there was
thrown in by the livery stable a negro,
who, the travelling man says, was about
the color of anthracite. The two
Travelled across the muddy roads for
miles upon miles. and all was going
well when suddenly the negro rose in
the buggy.
Look a-dah.' he shouted.
The drummer looked barely in time
to see an ordinary c%ottontail rabbit
cross the road like a streak of gray
The negro prepared to get out.
What are you doing:' demanded the
drummer, catching at the lines as they
fell. The negro got out Then he care
fully turned every one of his ragged
pockets inside out, backed up to the
place which the %cottontail had crossed
and walked across the imaginary line
backward. Then he climbed into the
buggy again.
"Dah." he said. "Ain' gwine let no

Old Letters

There is but thing to do with old
love letters-in fact, with all old let
tiers, love or otherwise-and that is to
burn them.
Letters are personal. the thoughts.
the wishes of the moment. Letters are
seldom of historical interest. If so, it
is an easy matter to preserve those.
An old letter is seldom of interest
while life is granted to the writer's. and
but q cause of misery after death has
claimed either. Should both writer and
the II addressed be taken from he
world the old letters are either care
lessly paradel or left to mold in a cor
ner of the attic.
When q etter- the ordinary letter,
which is but III exchange of personal
thought. hopes or lrcamS-is answered
1t is time to burn it. 1t will then new
err be read by curious eyes nor will it
serve as a bitter suggestion of a hap
pier past.-Pittsburg Press.

been in a very precarious condition
since then, died Friday evening at 9
O'Clock. Clare was two and one-half
years old and was a bright little lad.
His death and the manner in which
1T came is a very sad.blow to the par

home northeast of the water works.
The services were attended by a
~large..number of friends, who listened
to a sermon by Rev. II. S. Wilkin-
son, pastor Of the Methodist church.
His words were a comfort to the be-
reaved parents and made the pain
easier to bear. The little pouch cas-
ket containing the remains of the
little lad was surrounded with beau
tiful flowers sent by the friends of
the parents. The music was furn.

Merle Tillotson and Frank Olson

riages followed the rel aims to Grace

to rest. The pail bearers were Myron

Stale Bread.
1t Is generally supposed that ths
staleness of bread arises from its be
coming actually drier by the gradual
loss of water, but this is not the
case. Stale bread contains almost ex-
actly The same proportion of water as
new bread after it has become com.
pletely cold. The change is merely in
the internal arrangements of the mole
cules of the bread y proof of this IS
that if we put n stale loaf into a close
ly covered tin, expose it for half an
hour or an hour to Il heat not eXceedip~
that of boiling water and then allow

 Hon. R. c. Thach presented to the convention the resolution which had been adopted by the State committee declaring that it was the sense of the committee that the State convention should take some action towards read justing the basis of representation in the State convention. This. too. went to the Resolutions Committee.
 Along with it went a resolution of Lomax Smith of Walker county. leav- ing the question of representation to the State Committee.
 The chair announced that the secre- tdTieS tdu lhAOTulcu utIu IItAb Luey needed assistance. He would there fore. he said, appoint as additional. Secretaries Walter D. Seed of Tusca- loosa and Louis Bamberger of Dallas. NAMES PRESENTED FOR
 DELEGATES AT LARGE.
 The chairman announced that the convention was ready for the nomina- tions of delegates from the State at large. F. K. Campbell of Jefferson placed in nomination the name of Ru- fus N. Rhodes of Birmingham: E. A. Graham of Montgomery, put in nomi- nation the name of Gen. J. W. A. Sanford of Montgomery; Edward l.. Russell of Mobile was nominated by R. V. Taylor of Mobile; L.. E Jeferies of Dallas, nominated H. S. D. Mallory of Selma; William Richardson of Huntsville was nominated by R. D. Spragins of Madison.
 Although Major Screws was not nom- mated and although he had asked the withdrawal of his name from the con- vention many of his friends in the convention insisted on voting for him. The first county called. the county of Autauga. cast it's votes for him. The announcement brought forth ar burst of applause. And every time a county cast a vote for Screws cheers greeted the vote. The votes that went to him came from every section of the State.
 The vote in full on the\ first and only ballot was as follows:
The Montgomery advertiser., 1904-05-26


 The convention experienced no trou. ble in selecting the alternates to tho delegates from the State at large. Only four names were placed in nomination and there was no sort of a contest
 The four nominated and elected were w. w. Whitesides of Calhoun, H. T Inge of Mobile. John D. Burnett oi Conecuh and s. 4. Lynne of Morgan DELEGATES FROM DIsTRfcTs
 AND ELECTORS NAMED
 Next in order was the selection of district delegates, electors and alter mates. According to custom these se- lections were made by the delegates from the counties comprising the dis tricts. These delegates had met and settled whatever local fights they had between them. The delegates iron, the districts would then recommend to the convention the ticket they wanted elected from their particular district.
 Congressman Clayton announced that the Third District had been unable to agree on it's choice. He suggested that the convention adjourn for an hour but chorus of No" No" greeted him.
 N. L. Miller of Jefferson suggested that the delegates from the Third pis- trtct be given an excuse from the de- AOSA AtiOuS oA tue COhNSniIQn that they might go outside and reach an Egree- ment. This was done and the conven- tion went on with it's work.
 The selections were quickly and made as the convention had nothing to do but to ratify the &C., ton of the district delegates.
 The selections made were as follows. First District-Edward M. Robinson of Mobile. J. K. Kyser of Monroe: al- ternates. T. B. Morris of Clarke, G. B. Bush of Choctaw
