 NOMINATION..

Yesterday closed the National Re publican conventions proceedings at Chicago. The party councils. after cut and dried" program, met and promptly carried out in detail the wishes and behests of the present oc- cupant of the White House as grace fully as though they really liked the proceedings arranged for them in ac- vance. Everything that was done al Chicago for three days at the Coils cum was submitted to and censored and passed upon by the President, ev- en to the selection of the man who is to be the second name on the National ticket
 The man who has never missed a convention since Lincoln was nominat- ed in 60 was conspicuously absent and il required the hardest kind of ef- fort to awake any enthusiasm in the body that had assembled to nominate the names to head the ticket. On the closing day, and at the last moments of the convention, a show of spirit was indicated, only after the stamped ing effect of "Uuncle Joe" Cannon pa rading the hall ahead of the proces- sion.
 But little is 10 be said concerning the ticket more than is already known and has been said. The nomination of Roosevelt was conceded, and the tying of Fairbanks to the presidential tail Is naturally part Of the game oi politics. the Senator from Indiana be- ing chosen from a geographical stand point. The platform upon which these candidates are to stand is print ed nthe Review this morning. To the Republican party are We all in- debted for everything that kind and benehcent Providence has vouchsafed to us. There would have been no crops, no sunshine, no rain. none of the blessings of humanity had it not been for the Republican party. and the usual amount of selfpraise which that organization on all occasions as sumes, is there in ample quantity.
 The ticket is probably as strong one as could have been made by the 2. o. D. It is one, however, that with a united Democracy can be beaten The people, while the never forget any act WneES1l uldn HdS oCAfCN -4S country, dislike the constant dangie of the sword. the click and rattle oi the spur. A sound, conservative and believable platform at St. Louis, the selection of candidates that can stand on that platform and evidence to the country that if given the executive de partment of the government the Dem ocrats will see that the cost of living is lowered to the masses who toll, not as soldiers following the sword and belt and cartridge box. but al the con- stant grind at the benches for the means to care for families; that they will see to it tha. the enrichment of the already rich few, at the expense of the many, will be protected by re- vision of the iniquitous tariff law; that the extravaganza of billion dollar congresses will be checked. that the trusts will be curbed in their ruthless taxing of the people to supply cash dividends on heavily watered stocks these, with other matters judiciously handled, should give to the Democra cy success, and the defeat of the tick. et nominated at Chicago yesterday.

governor has given the letter to the
press. It is as follows: His Excel
lency, the Governor of South Caro-
lima: Dear Sir: I have just written
the governor Of North Carolina, call
ing attention to the fact that October
7th, A. D. 1905, will be the 125th an
niversary Of the battle of Kings Noun
tain, one of the pivotal engagements
of the war for independence, fought
within the borders Of your state. 1t
is quite customary to observe such
date with especial commemorative Gel
ebrations, and I venture to suggest
that measures be taken by the chief
executives, the patriotic societies and
citizens of the two Carolinas, Tennes-
see and Virginia-from which states
the patriotic volunteers were drawn
to mark the important anniversary by
suitable exercises. My attention was
calico to the date while preparing a
lectu-e upon Kings Mountain, as
president of the Presbyterian Histori-
cal society, an institution that en-
braces all branches Of the Reformed
and Presbyterian church in our coun-
try. north and south. 1t seemed to me
that the two Carolinas might most
fittingly take the initiative In such
measure; although I am sure that
Patriotic Societies Of Revolutionary
descendants in all parts Of the nation
will cheerfully cooperate"

"PrOOf of the Pudding.'
LOUIS ROTH.

During the past six months, In
York county, there have been to my
knowledge four separate cases where
men desiring life insurance have de-
termined to look before leaping, and
allowed agents Of the various compan-
les every facility for making a show
down. The MUTUAL BENEFIT was
competitor in each Of the contests,
and each time its policy was selected
and PAID FOR. The amount of In
surance involved was $4,000. Fur
ther, there has never been a contest In
this section, where all the companies
we're on an equal footing, (by this 1
mean where the party who wanted In
surance had entered into no "entang-
ling alliances" with any agent or COM
pany) where the MUTUAL BENEFIT
has entered strictly on its merits and
has not delivered the goods! Dear
Reader, do you imagine that 1t would
be possible for the MUTUAL BENE-
FIT to win EVERY TIME If it was not
1.-THE Best Company and Ssld the Best
Policy?" The contracts Of all the
companies are good, and are liberal.
especially If not subjected to the try
ing ordeal Of being compared with
those of the MUTUAL BENEFIT.
Test my claim. That's all I ask.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO
BUY, SELL OR EXCHANGE?

Don't be timid but say something.
We never know how cheap property
can be bought until offers are made.
People make me tired asking what Is
the least you will take" when there Is
nothing in sight to take. When fruit
gets ripe, 1t drops from the trees. In
like manner the price on property
drops when owners get ripe to sell.
Therefore offers are always In order.
Don't be sitting about idle when you
can be making money trading In prop
erty throughout the country, helping
yourself and putting life and value In
YOUR own as we'll as other peoples
property. Specialists are the order Of
the day. You employ Lawyers, Doc
tors and Minister'S when you specially
need them, as well as all other spe-
cialists. Bear in mind a Broker who
studies trade year out and in can beat
you five In the game. Otherwise he
could not make enough to remain In
business. The growth of my business
Is plain evidence Of tact and talent. I
drive on whether 1t Is sunshine or
rain T.,en see the enormous adver-
tising bills that have to be paid. They
grow as the business grows. My
methods are fair and square. Clients
furnish property, descriptions, prices
and propositions. Trades are COM
pleted before bills are rendered. No
retainer fees required here. I have
enough faith in my ability to take
chances on paying the bills.

GENERAL MA Is NOT JoKE.-There
has been q good deal Of fun poked at
General Ma, and 1t must be admitted
that pictures Of his Manchurian army
show about the worst collection OF
yellow misfits ever seen outside of a
sideshow.
But he is the only Chinese military
man whose professional value has
been proved. In China 1t Is averred
that he has never been defeated. He
is trying to make soldiers. He has en-
ployed competent instructors. and has
commenced the modern instruction OF
his troops.
He has not progressed very far In
the direction of modernity. For In
stance. the punishment for defective
craftsmanship under his orders is
beating with rattan rods, and he has
no compunction about decapitation In
the interest Of discipline. which may do
in China. but would never become pop
ular in a civilized community.
He is popular with the Chinese peo-
pie. and it IS within the range Of pos
sibilities that he should become the
head Of a great Chinese uprising, In
which case the troubles Of the czar
would be multiplied.-Atlanta Journal

We want everybody TO knew that we

1t is possible for US to get and to do.
And we further want everybody to
know that we do not want to do any
work for anybody unless It is with q
distinct understanding as to when the
work Is to be paid for. We make this
statement because Of the fact that dur
ing the past year or two we have been
doing work for various parties who
have not come up to time with the
coin Of the realm. In other words we
have several hundred dollars worth Of
accounts on which we are unable to
realize. We are not in business for fun
or for our health, but with the inten-
ton Of doing, good honest work for
which we expect to receive prompt set
Elements when the work Is done. We

ceived q dispatch from a San Antonio,
Tex, newspaper stating that two fields
Of cotton, covering about six hundred
acres in Baxter county, have been en-
tirely cleared Of the boil weevil by
millions Of ants, now swarming on the
plants.
The roads near the field are said to
be filled with ants carrying off the
