Action of the Judicial Committee.

June 18th is the date fixed by the
Boren Judicial Committee to nominate
a republican candidate for attorney
general in the first district. The com
mittee headed by Paul Wofford, known
as the old Harmon committee, made
the Boren or old Tyler committee a
proposition to be recognized by giving
its chairman secretaryship of the COM
mittee that is to meet on June 18th
which was accepted.
The snap or early convention shows
clearly the still dominating zone man
power in this district. 1t givea all
the candidates but Harmon a very poor
show This clique that has for years
been dominating the people in this
end of the state will in some not fan
distant day meet its waterloo.
Thursdays meeting and action of this
committee gives the nomination to the
clique candidate which is now Dams
Harmon, of Gceeneyille. He has il
the last two years fallen down to wor
ship the tyranical Boss that caused hi
defeat for circuit judge two years ago
Good citizens from Greene county
were bold in stating that if Harmon re
ceived the nomination no republican
ticket would be put out in Greene
county this year as by his seeming dis
trustful actions have destroyed all re-
publian unity and hopes in that oun
ty for some time.
Congressman Browrlow failed tc
place his appearance near town to-day
but had his lieutenants here in power
we'll drilled.
Since the meeting of this committe,
several of the candidates have beer
heard to express grievous dissatisfac-
ton. They all say that "Bossism
will be defeated either in the conven-
ton this month or within q short dura
ton.

The Triumph of Carmack.

The wonderful power of Edward W.
Carmack at the late Democratic State
convention is the talk of the South. A
few years ago he was a memphis news
paper man, comparatively unknown
outside of Tennessee. Last week he
achieved a triumph that seldom falls tc
the lot of man.
The hand of Carmack was seen every
where. 1t wrote the platform, it made
and unmade candidates, it dominated
everything. He could not stick his
head inside the convention hall but
that the delegates rose to their feet {
bowling mob, to demand his presence
At the convention hail, on the streets,
in the hotel everywhere he went he
was always surrounded by those who
looked and listened in open mouthed
admiration,
And under this influence Carmack
grew in stature. He forgot the bitter
memories of previous campaigns, his
own fierce battles with Dame Fortune,
his old time denunciation OF those who
differed with him on economic ques-
tious, aud pleaded for United De-
mocracy, from which every former act
Of mutual hostility had been expunged

1T is TO EAT.
Big Pure Food Exhibit at the Worlds
Fair Covering Three Acres.

Three acres of everything that is
good to eat and drink! This is one of
the attractive features of the great pal
ace Of agriculture at the worlds fair.
And the best part of it is that the visitor
ls invited to sample the dainty viands or
wholesome beverages and satisfy him
self as to their merits
Chief Taylor appointed Paul Pierce to
]uperlntend this food exhibit, the first
# q universal scope ever to be made.
Mr.. Pierce is a son Of the late United
States Senator Pierce, of North Dakota,
and for ten years has been editor and
publisher of journal devoted to the
interests of pure foods,
Space for this attractive exhibit has
been assigned in the central nave of the
Agricultural building, the largest of the
exposition structures, and one Of the
most appetizing exposition displays
ever contemplated is shown every day
Of the fair.
Not only are the foods Of the world
shown, but each exhibitor gives demon
STATIONS of the qualities Of his wares.
Thus the breakfast food manufacturers
are not content with showing a pyramid
of packages, and their food in bulk, but
neatly-clad girls prepared and serve all
the dainty dishes of which the food Is
the principal ingredient. Baking pow
der manufacturers employ experts who
serve the liehtegt and tiufIiest of bis
cults. and in order to make them in
greater demand serve them with the
best creamery butter and syrup or fruit.
The fruit preservers and the pickle
manufacturers have taken large blocks
of space and have several hundred
varieties that the worlds fair visitor
may select samples from at will,
The Chocolate and cocoa interests
make a great bid for popularity. A cup
OF rich chocolate, and any of the tooth
some desserts Of which the products Of

may have his want supplied for the
mere suggestion.
If the housewife observes keenly the
tricks of the experts who make the
delicious cofeees that are served from
The artistic booths she must learn much
Of the art of coffee-making And as for
Ca, the growers from all climes exert
their best efforts to prove that their tea
VAS the most delightful favor.
And so it is all down the line OF
eGlbles. The same thing is true of soft

There were other things besides
these thrashed out in the conversation
with the great democrat, among them
being Judge Parkers silence and his
own probable course in the event
Judge Parker is nominated. Not be.
ing one of Judge Parker's advisors,
Mr.. Cleveland does not presume to say
whether his silence should be broken
or not.
He assumes that the New Yorker is
following able counsel, and, while mol
undertaking to say where rests the
balance Of good judgment in such q
case, believes that if Judge Parker is
nominated his present silence will very
greatly aid the party in making the
fight upon the platform rather thar
upon the candidate, insuring to Judg'
Parker an opportunity to grow in pub
lie favor when it becomes necessary fol
him to develop his abilities as a cam
paigner, and saving the party from TIT

As to policemen. If some good, re-
spectacle men wanted a job of that
kind, there ought to be plenty put in
to do the work. But it takes grit and
not every one is willing, and few are
capable. I agree with last weeks
writer. More are needed but it is hard
to get the few already employed. The
office does not seem fat enough, or the
class Of work does not appeal to the
average man. And no wonder. Think
of the qualities required to make good
policemen-courage honor and every
thing needed to lift him above the class
with whom he deals. If there were as
many candidates as there are for attor-
ney general there would be some choice.
Now will not some half dozen good
men interested in law and order apply,

What has become of the thistle
movement? The thistles were cut last
year after they had gone to seed. Now
if they were cut soon, they would not
scatter seed and the crop might be
lessened. 1t was a move in the right
direction but needs more and earlier
enforcement this year. Who will set
the example? Let us see if we can not
have this nuisance at least abated. II
every one who remembers their section
last year will cut it again, and now,
you can see good results.
