There was no wait in the ceremonies.
AS soon as the little party reached the
stand, Representative Clark began his
address.
Chairman Clark was enthusiastic
cally cheered throughout his address,
and at its close was accorded an ova-
ton which was merged into the re-
ception extended to Judge Parker.
During the speaking, rain began to
fall fitfully and many umbrellas were
raised. Realizing that the ceremonies
might be interfered with, Representa-
tive Clark left out a portion of his
speech as originally prepared.
Parker stood in the Rain.
Judge Parker, with barred bead, stood
on the platform throughout the speech
with utter disregard of the rain
which dampened him from head to foot
and spotted his linen. His composure
was unruffled and he smiled with the
spectators at the witticisms with which
Mr.. Clark interspersed his address. Mr.

then presented to Judge Parker the
formal notification signed by the chair

Flags were frantically waved at the
close of Mr.. Clark's speech, the specta-
tors cheered and it was a full minute
before Judge Parker was permitted to
speak.
Before beginning his address of ac-
n
crowd to get under the trees out of the
rain. I'VE don't mind the wet" was
the spontaneous reply. Judge Parker
began his address at 2:1S o'clock.
Among the notable visitors to-day
was former Senator David B. Hill.

GRADING OF WESLEYAN
COLLEGE LAWN
Does Not Please Mncon's Mayor ana
Aldermen.


Macon. Aug. 10.-By the action of the
City Council of Macon several months
ago the old brick wall which has stood
in front of Wesleyan Female College
for about fifty years has been torn
down, but 1t seems that the members
OF the Public Property Committee and
other members of Council are not all
pleased with the taste of Presi-
dent Query and the board of trustees
of Wesleyan as to the manner in
which they have directed the grading
to the lawn in front OF the college.
At the last meeting of Council AL
derman Sloan said the grading injured
the appearance of that portion of the
city. other aldermen said the en-
bankment was so steep that IL was
dangerous and that other property
owners in the vicinity were entitled to
consideration. The Mayor and Coun-

TYPOS MAY ENLIST.
Speech of n Macon Man Turned the
Tide of Sentiment.

st. Louis, Aug. 10.-The Interna-
tional Typographical convention de-
voted to-day's session to the report of
the Committee on Laws. One of the
propositions considered was one to the
effect that no member of the Interna-
tional Typographical Union shall en-
list in the militia service of any state
of the United States, under penalty
of permanent expulsion. On this pro-
position. the Committee on Laws had
reported unfavorably. sentiment in
favor of adopting the committees re-
port had risen in the convention and
when Delegate Anderson of Macon,
Ga, chairman of the Committee on
Laws. made patriotic speech in which
he quoted the famous lines of Sir Wal
ter Scott:
rs there a man with soul so dead,
Who never to himself hath said
This is my own, my native land"
the climax was reached. Cheers re-
sounded through the hall and by an
overwhelming majority the convention
decided that nothing should be done
to prevent members of the International
Typographical Union from fighting for

CAROLINA FARMERS
AFTER AUTOMOBILES
Want the Use of Autos Restricted on
Public Roads.

Columbia, S. c., Aug. 1O,-At the
county campaign meeting in Easley,
Pickens county, yesterday. candidates
for the Legislature in their speeches
generally expressed themselves in
favor of legislation restricting the use
of automobiles on public roads.
The farming section of Pickens coun-
ty lies within six miles of the city
of Greenville, where a number of au-
tomobiles are in use. From time to
time lately, complaint has been heard
from farmers, both in Greenville and
Pickens, about automobiles soaring
their horses and mules.
The fact that the automobile has be-
come a political issue, first in this sec
ton in connection with the further
fact that in the past few years the inn
provement of the public roads has made
special progress in this part of the
state. It is likely that the question
will be agitated in all the counties
which have large towns where auto
mobiles are not uncommon.

Esopus. n. Y, Aug. 1O.-Francis
Burton Harrison, who represents the
Thirteenth New York district in Con-
gress, was put forward to-day for the
Democratic nomination for Governor
of New York. His name was suggest
ed in an informal discussion among
New York politicians on the way to
Esopus. 1t was received so favorably
that some of the Tammany officials
predicted that the names of Mayor
George b. Mcclellan and former Sec
rotary of War Daniel S. Lamont would
be eliminated.
Advocacy Of boom for Mr.. Har-
rison at this time is said to be in
keeping alike with the inclination of
state leaders to give the governorship
nomination to Tammany and with the
demand of the organization that its
claims be recognized.

MUD RUINED ,EM.'
A Dallas Nswspaper's Story of Horror
And the villain Still Pursued hsr.

And the villain stlll Pursued hsr.
The recent visit BY Dallasites by
special car to Corvallis is made oc-
casion for tale of woe in the Dali
las Observer. The story runs thus:
The only cause of regret among
/ the Dallas people who visited the
game is the rough and ungentle-
manly treatment to which theywere
subjected as the train was leaving
Corvallis. Not content with steal
/ ing the signal lanterns on the train,
cutting the bellcord and piling cord
wood under the car wheels, band
|of hoodlums lined up along the
track, and. as the train began to
move, threw mud upon the passen-
gers by the handful. Several per-
sons standing ON the platforms were
struck by rocks, and many suits
and overcoats were ruined by the
volley of mud that was thrown. At
every street crossing from the depot
to the north end Of town this dis
graceful performance was repeated,
and when the train reached the SUBJ
berbs many of the passengers whohad
lbeen unable to crowd into the coach
IS had their clothing ruined by mud
and their arms and bodies bruised
by flying missiles. I"
The above is so grossly exagger-
ated that it is silly. Mud does not
ruin clothing. If allowed to dry.
lit is easily brushed off. To say
that the train was thrown at from
every crossing is an old woman S
gable. The statement that arms
and bodies were bruised by flying
missiles and stones is nonsnese.
The wonder is that the paper didn't
go on and say the "moans Of the
dead and dying were heartrend-
ing The editor might as well
have added that as not while he was
seeing things" in the preparation
of his article.
It is however a fact that hood
lums in the vicinity of the Christian
church, threw stones and mud at
the passing car. There is no iusti-
fcation for the offence. 1t was
ungentleman1y and coward1y. It
was vile, and unpard donab1e. Every
youngster who had a. hand in it,
ought to have been sound1y thrash
ed. Had the small boys who did it
been at home where they ought to
have been it would not have hap
pened. Likewise had the persons
who guyed them from the car plat
form kept their mouths shut, as
they should have done, it would not
have happened. The occurrence
has been widely condemned in Cor
wallis. The exaggerated and silly
account of 1t in the Dallas paper is
likewise condemned.
