of its discoveries were of a surprising nature and point to the speedy extension of the French stations to the heart of the desert.
 The party discovered how 1t was that the Tuaregs had been able so easily to extend their raids to the neighborhood of the French stations in the northern part of the desert. It was because they travelled through region that abounds with grass and water During most of his journey Lieutenant Besset found good pasturage and excellent water in abund- ance. Caravans from the north have never used this route because 1t was the stamping ground of the Tuaregs
 Fertile New Regions.
 Underground waters in large quantities come to the surface in the wadies of Potha and Igharghar which traverse this region, and there are opportunities for the reclamation of a far larger area by irrigation than the northern French oases present There are widespread depres- sions which are naturally well watered and produce abundant grass. The Tua- regs used these basins for pasturage and date culture till Lieutenant Cottenest in 1902 punished them severely in their homes among the Ahaggar mountains for one of their murderous raids. They have Ventured on no more raids, but are living quietly among their mountains and say they wish only peace
 Lieutenant Besset says in his long re. port that the time Is propitious for occu. rying the new region he has explored French garrisons may there find employ ment. both as soldiers and as cultiva. tors of the soil Date and grain rais- ing may be introduced. large herds of camels may be raised and France will have new and prosperous center in the middle of the new desert from which to extend her Influence all over the south ern Sahara from Timbuektu in the west to Lake Chad in the east

 The French have produced map of large district in the Sahara, southeast Of tho Twat oases, which is a novelty in Sahara mapping. It Is a large scale map of a region, partly unknown nntll now, extending far toward the AhdSgdr mountains in the Eeart of the desert. The map Is covered with contour lines show ing approximately the topography of tnc rtgion. Such a map of the Sahara has not been seen before and 1t illustrates the researches which the French are carrying out in various parts of the des- ert. The time is approaching when the Sahara, now little known except along the usual caravan routes, will be fairly well mapped.
 The recent explorations are a result of the new methods of Saharan travel, which the French have copied from the . Tuareg nomads. Instead of the slow baggage camels. they now utilize ani- mals specially fitted and trained for fast travel. These camels can cover three times as much ground in a day as the ordinary pack animals. Only two or three weeks supply of food is carried, the parties replenishing their commissa- riat at the oases they reach.
 Some Surprising Discoveries.
 In January, iy)S Lieutenant Besset was ordered to start from the Twat oasis 10 make a typographical survey of the des- ert to the southeast toward the Ahaggar mountains and to study the available pasturage and water supply The dist ances travelled were measured on a cy- clometer attached to a bicycle wheel All the topographic instruments required to make an approximately accurate sur- yey of the surface features Were nro- vided. A considerable part of the conn try was mountainous. and in these re- gions the daily marches were very short. for it was necessary to climb some of the summits to get bearings on the sur rounding peaks for the purpose of the map.
 The expedition travelled about 5000 miles from and to its starting point It brought back much detailed information with re. gard to the geography. geology and hy- biography of the region explored Some

 western Democrats will not make very much trouble at the St: Louis Con. vention." Mir. Moore replied. The De- mocracy of my section is made up.o men from every State In the Union and there lore no one can declare the ravorite or the Western Democracy for President be- cause no such favorite exists. II Is my judgment, however. that the Western states will send uninstructed delegations to St. Louis and that they will support any candidate acceptable 10 New York.
 Tn ldaho." Mir. Moore continued, the party Is united and prepared to conduct an. aggressive campaign. The Roosevelt policy of departure from time-honored American ideals Is unpopular with thoughtful citizens in Lhe West as else where. and this feeling will be given ex- pression at the polls"
 Mir. Moore will leave tomorrow for Att fanta, but will return soon and proceed to Washington via Savannah and the ocean. He married Miss Maude. Pepper man Of Montgomery and they are here visiting Mi. and Mrs. Jacob Peppernan, parents of Mrs Moore.

Bankhead- -Hobson Contest

 The people Of Sumter. Hale. Greene Pickene and Tuscaloosa counties" he continued. "are hardly talking of any thing else. It has gotten to the point where fellow has little chance to sell a customer until he finds out if he Is 6 Hobson or Bankhead partisan. Then oi course. the willy drummer gets on the right side and lands his order.
 Tt Is astonishing how much interest men, women and children are taking in it. On trains. in vehicles, in hotels and at the cross roads store youn hear them talking of Bankhead or Hobson and It seems as If every voter has made up his mind.''
 Who am for? Why. Tin for both of ,en when I'm out of the Sixth District. It depends on who asks the question when I'm over there."
