ly all the representatives from Virginia, and many other distinguished Virginians. What was the attitude of the gathering of representative Southerners towards the program mapped out by MT. Bryan for the Democracy to follow? It was clearly indicated in this extract from Senator Daniels speech:
 Put in your platform the things that all Democrats favor andA let the other things take care of themselves. The par ty stands for light taxes and an economl- cal administration of the Government. Say so. The party stands for tarlm re- ocrats do not declare for reform in tariff administration in 1904 the Republi- cans will in 1905 Let us make the de- mand a part of our creed.
 Some people say we must affirm the platforms of 1896 and 1900 To this I an- swer that the party was nearly hun dred years old and getting along pretty well before these platforms were ever years without mention of the fact that thoy were ever adopted.
 Don't understand me as saying or meaning that I retract anything I have stood for in the past But progress is the sign of the times. You may make T platform and put all the beatitudes in it and lose an election. and deserve to lose 1t; you may make another platform, con forming to living issues, and win. This country moves in four years and the Democratic party must move with It. There Is nothing sacred in any platform and nothing desirable save those portions of it that make for party success along the recognized lines of good govern ment.
 The truth is. 1t Is hard for Democrats to get together-mueh harder than it Is for Republicans to get together. The req son is Democrats are more individualistic than Republicans. They are not trying to get anything out of the Government, but simply trying to keep the Government from getting something out of them
 T am a 'get-together' Democrat, and l am in favor of putting everybody out of the party who doesn't come into the bat tie with the purpose of fighting 1t ou.
 This is exactly the position The Com mercial-Appeal has taken in this matter. He has never kicked over the traces. He supported Bryan heartily in both cleo

Selma Cotton Market.

Prices in the Selma Cotton Market to- day were practically nominal, no spot transactions being made. The official quo tation for middling was 1853 cents.
 The good prices that have prevailed during the last fortnight have accelerated the local movement of the crop and the receipts for the week ending last night, March 9. were more than twice as large as the receipts for each of the four weeks immediately preceding. Last weeks ship ments were correspondingly large, and the stock is lower than at any other time since October. It is estimated that not over 1000 bales more will be received in

 In all of the school buildings construc- tional changes are necessary. is the opin- ion of the committee. In the Dallas Acad- emy on Selma and Church streets. two eX- terior stairways from the ground at the rear of the building to the second story will be recommended and these, with the interior stairway, and the two exits on Church street, are regarded as adequate for egress of occupants of the school un- der any condition. The doors of the school which now are opened inwardly will be swung outwardly. The woodwork imme- diately above the furnaces in the base ment will be covered with asbestos.
 The Baker School on Dallas and Wash ington streets will, if the recommenda- tions are concurred in, have an additional stairway which will lead to the ground from the balcony in the second story on the Washington street side of the build ing. thus affording two places of egress. The committee will ask that the doors be swung properly.
 In the Clark school for negroes the doors are properly swung, opening out wardly. but the committee will request that stairway be added to the exterior of the building. It's location at the rear of the building is suggested.
 In the Academy of Music the commit tee found fault with a number of struc- tural points which were discussed with the managers of the theater. Chief among these is the manner in which the stairway to the balcony is arranged. This connects the first balcony with the main entrance of the theater and the committee thinks a sudden and rapid ex- odus of people from the balcony and from the parquet would make a congestion at this place, and the largest doors of the house would thus be rendered useless.
