Senator Carmack said today that it
is the sense of the leaders here and of
a majority of the delegates that the
platform should be brief, positive and
concise statement of principles, and
that this policy will undoubtedly pre-

lives will have things their own way. |

The $50. 900 worth of bonds issued

To Mayor j. F. BIownlow is due the
credit for placing these bonds at such
a satisfactory rate. 1t was through
his association and friendship with
Mr.. Wheeler that that gentleman was
interested in the matter, and the tax
payers of the city are to be congratu-
lated that the bonds were placed at
four per cent. This is what the bonds
of Nashville and many of the hest
cities in the country are ficated at.

Preaching Services.

Sunday morning at II o'clock, Sun
day evening at 8, Monday morning at
10 and Monday evening at s, Evan
gelist Ham preached at the tent. The
attendance. considering the threaten
ing and Indictment weather. was
remarkably good. the interest was
manifest and souls were saved at
every service. A word about this
tent meeting and the man who is con-
Quoting it. Mr.. Ham is young man,
and. as he says himself, practically an
amateur in this work. He is gifted
with a fine presence, good Voice. and
ready flow of words. He makes no
effort at eloquence or oratory; he tells
IN the simplest possible way the
old, old story of Jesus and his love. He
is by long odds the most genial and ap-
proachable and lovable of all the evan
gelists who have ever visited Column
bia. and he does more personal work,
makes more effort upon individuals
between services, than all the former
visiting evangelists combined. He
is firm in his faith and his resolutions,
but meek and lowly of spirit, ascrib- |
ing nothing to himself, and preferring |
at all times counsel with his brethren |
rather than to go his own way. He |
grows upon one, and to know him
is to believe in him.
So much for the an. AS for the
meeting, it far surpasses all other
evangelistic meetings ever held here,
judged by Its results. Larger crowds
attended the Sam Jones meeting, and
a greater number of men shook hands
with him. But very large majority
of that number stopped with the hand
shake. While in this meeting nearly
every one who asks for prayers, re-
ceives a blessing, and nearly every one
who makes the start. and purposes in
his heart to lead a new life, finds peace
and comfort to his SOUL There have
been a greater number of conversions I

And Crowd The First Methodist
Church to it's Full Capacity.
Evangelist Ham Makes a Strong
Appeal to the Young People.

That was beautiful scene at the
First Methodist church last Sunday
morning. 1t was sight to make
heaven glad and the heart of man re-
joice.
| The Methodist, the Presbyterian,
the Baptist, the Cumberland, the Epis-
copalian Sunday schools all met in
Union service and were addressed by
| Evangelist Ham. The meeting had no
set program and consisted not so much
in what was done, as in what was seen
and felt and accomplished.
Mr.. Ham made his first talk to the
Sunday school teachers, and then to
the pupils. He reminded the teachers
of the responsibility of their offices.
sacred relationship of the Sunday
school teacher and pupil. How it was
high privilege and sacred duty to
lead the little ones and. teach them
how to give their hearts to God That
however prompt and regular the
attendance. and however perfect the
lessons, that teacher was failure
who neglected to win souls for Christ.
And he told the children that it was

unto Him. lie offered a little book
to the one who would come and get it.
And when 1T was claimed, he told
them that they could all have Christ
just that easy. That God offered him
to the world. and all that one had TO do
was simply to accept him as their Lord !
and Saviour. and he would lead them
along the way that would make their |
lives brighter and happier.
At the conclusion of his very helpful |
talk he called for as many as would
give their hearts to God to come fol-
ward. There must have been some
fifteen or twenty who went forward
Some of them were little tots who
went, possibly. because they saw

st. Louis, July 5.-The greatest
gathering of democrats in the history
of the party is only twenty -four hours
off, and with each passing hour the
nomination of Judge Alton B. Parker
becomes more certain. Unless things
take different tuIn from present in
dications, he will win on,the first bal
lot At least that is the prediction
freely heard on all sides this morning,
ana by the best posted men here.
The action of the Pennsylvania dele
CATION last night by vote of 66 to 8,
instructing for Parker, inflated the
Parker boom to large proportions and
added greatly TO the enthusiasm in the
Parker ranks. The opposition seems to
be all at sea, and unable to agree on
any man.
Hearst is not regarded as oeing
in the running, though his headquar-
tiers at Jefferson Hotel are -gorgeously
decorated and in one room thousands
of dollars worth of California fruits
and wines are lavished upon all who
will wear the Hearst button. And in
the big convention hall his picture is
pasted bill board fashion all around
the building. Still nobody thinks of
Hearst but to smile. Parker is grow
ing every hour, and by the time the
convention meets it is believed his
nomination will be settled.
