The Democratic convention held nere

Citations Of one another and declama-
lions Of yindictiveness that added fuel

The country delegates were especially
bitter towards those of the city and
their leaders made ugly accusations
against the latter, such as accusing
them of being in intrigue to manipulate
the convention and bring about condi-
fions that they are positively and nm
alterably opposed to. and there was only
"A weak attempt Of denial.
There was bitterness about the in
examinations and insinuations that prom
ised at one iuncture to result in n row
and it looked like it would end in a
fight without anything being done, and
IL IS believed such would have been the
case, If the delegates from the county
had not ontnnntered the city delegates
and proved londer mouthed and strong
and virtually ovcrpowered the latter
the convention opened shortly after
one o'clock. when County Chairman Rob
ert A. Garrett called it to order and
named W. Scott a. temporary chair

Mr.. Scott stated that the object of the
convention was to select - delegates to
the convention to be held Mt Charles
ton April 90 which viii elect delegates
at large and delegates from the various
congressional districts to the Democratic
national convention.
Then Mr.. Scott proceeded to instruct
the convention a. to what sort Of men
they should send to the convention. and

John w. Davis then wanted to dis.

voted it down, and at that point it was
seen that the delegates from the country
were in control. Next they voted down
just as quickly the amendment offered
by John j. Davis and then sustained Mr..
Patton's motion.
There was then long wrangle over
how they should appoint delegates, but

FRUIT AND TRUCK NEWS
FOR TRUCK FARMERS.
MILAN COUNTY POTATOES.
First Carload Is Ten Days Earlier
Than Was Anticipated.


Cameron. Tex. "A car OF
Texas early potatoes was placarded
hero yesterday. it being the first car
out OF the State this season. The
stock was strictly fancy, and from the
reading of the placard it sold for 5000
on the track at loading citation. This
placard carried with it some very at
trsctive and induotiye wording, and
undoubtedly will cause considerable
interest along the lines through the
different States. The car was destined
to Denver, Colo and should make a
great hit, as this is about ten days
earlier than the farmers thought they
could prodlce potatoes in carloads.
The Santa Fe is taking great interest
in the development and diversified
farming in Milan county, as well as In
other counties along its line, and we
fully realize. financially speaking, that
there will be many an old cotton store
account paid off with the money that
will be received from the potato crop
at-thls point in the next thirty days.
Conservative estimates now place the
crop OF potatoes that will be loaded
at Cameron during the month Of May
ac one hundred cars, and from the
present indications, on account of the
spirited bidding for May delivery, we
should receive from $4,000 to $4,000.
A number Of our local merchants are
the most active and spirited buyers.
Several Aspinwali sorters have been
ordered, and the stock will be put up
in uniform sacks, with potatoes In uni
form sizes, sacking no dirt or trashy
potatoes. This alone accounts for
the active bidding for May deliveries.
