Nearer Home.

One sweetly solemn thought
Comes to me Ger and er-
I'm nearer my home today
Than have ever been before.
Nearer my Fathers house.
Where the many mansions be;
Nearer the great white throne.
Nearer the crystal sea
Nearer the bond of life,
Where we lay our burdens down;
Nearer leaving the cross.
Nearer gaining the crown!
But the waves Of that silent sea
Roll dark before my sight
That brightly the other side
Break on a shore of light.
Oh, II my immortal feet
Have almost gained the brink;
II il be ! am nearer home
Even today than | think.
Father, perfect my trust!
Let my spirit feel in death
That her feet are firmly set
On the rock of II living faith!

NO OPPOSITION IN VIRGINIA.

Richmond, Va, June 14.-Carlton
Mccarthy, Democrat, was elected
mayor of Richmond, today, with a
full Democratic board of aldermen
and councilmen. There was no OPP
position to the Democratic candidates
for aldermen and councilmen. There
were a Socialist candidate and an In
dependent candidate for the mayoral-
ity, however. The former was III. l..
Rhodes and the latter w. E. Talley.
The vote was exceedingly light.
That for the Socialist and Independ-
ent was trif1ing-probably not one
twentieth of the total. The Demo-
cratic ticket was chosen at a recent
party primary.
Municipal elections were held gen.
orally in Virginia today. The result
was practically a Democratic sweep.
Little opposition was made to the
Democratic ticket in an., case. Chris

STRONG FIGHT IN ARKANSAS.
The Chances Are Said to Favor Judge
Parker.
(By the Associated Press. }

Hot Springs, Ark, June 1.-THE
Democratic State convention assem-
bled here today to nominate a full
State ticket and select delegates to the
st. Louis national convention. The
proceedings today were preliminary,
but developed considerable interest in
the matter of selecting credentials
committee as the control of this con-
mittee was sought by each of the
dominant factions in the convention.
As the committee stands it is conSid-
cred to be largely composed of sup
porters of United States Senator
James p Clark. and Governor Jeff
Davis, who are both known to be per-
sonally against the selection of
United States Senator James H. Berry
for one of the big four. The contest
which has developed between Senator
Clark and Governor Davis against the
forces of Berry will probably be one
of the chief items of interest in the
convention.
The contest for control of the con-
yention by the Hearst and Parker ele-
ments will be spirited, and the ulti-
mate decision of the convention is in
doubt with the chances strongly ia
voring Judge Parker. The selection
of a State ticket is purely routine
as the various candidates have already
been named in primary elections held
throughout the State.
