Colonel j. III. Acklen, Warden
of the Department of Game, Fish

Don't shoot quail until after
November 15."
Colonel Acklen has instructed
all Wardens to keep sharp look

Reports from all parts of the
State indicate that there are an
unusual number of young birds

was moved up. Heretofore the
open season began November /,

mature the date has been changed
to November Is, this being done
by act Of the legislature.

BRYAN ON STATE RIGHTS.

William Jennings Bryan, before
a great crowd at the Georgia State
Fair recently, made this declara-
ton:
"The average man wants his own
State to control his own affairs.
Since | was here a year ago." he
continued, "a new condition has
been forced into the political
arena. 1t is difficult to state what
the paramount question of the day
may be, but a great new question
has arisen, that is, the relative
sphere of the State and of the ma
tion. 1t is necessary that q con-
crete question arise before the av-
erage man becomes interested in
it,"
Mr.. Bryan then described recent
events wherein the executive of
the nation asserted the supremacy
of the treaty rights for a foreign
nation over States rights iMCali-
fornia; he alluded to the effect in
North Carolina, of a railroad as
sorting the right to suspend law
of the people; and to the recent
national convention of Attorneys
General, which adopted a memo
rial to Congress asking that the
doctrine which Governor Glenn of
North Carolina stood for be made
that of the whole country by act
of Congress, and asked:
"What does this mean? 1t
means that the average man wants
his own State to control it's own
affairs. 1t is the assertion of the
rights of local self-government.
That.government is best which is
closest to the people"

Reports from all parts of the
State indicate there will be many
more birds in the country this
year than there have been for
many seasons. Colonel Acklen
says:
Reports from all parts Of the
State indicate there are an unusu-
al number of young birds in the
land, and for the protection of
these birds | have instructed all
Game Wardens to see that no birds
are shot before November l5."

MCDOWELL ON CARMACK.
Chattanooga Times

Chattanooga Tines
John II. Mcdowell, the "Jeha-
zy" of the Populist crusade of the
early nineties, in Tennessee poll
tics, has broadened greatly as this
statement made by him the other
day obviously attests. Speaking
of Mr.. Carmack, Mr.. Mcdowell
said
81 guess this will create some
surprise in the State, in view of
the manner in which Carmack u.s.
ed to talk about me, but [ have no
feeling against him. [ consider
him one of the most brilliant and
intellectual men in the South or
in the nation, and away yonder the
biggest man in Tennessee. If he
runs for governor [ shall do all [
can for him, and would even make
speeches for him, if he should ask
me to do so"
The bitterness and force with
which Mr.. Carmack went after Mr..
Mcdowell in the days of the old
Memphis Commercial, of which
the former was editor, have never
been duplicated in any subsequent
campaign.
The former PQpulist leader has
been regular" Democrat for
years, and he exercises large in
fuence in the community which
he lives. His advocacy of Mr..
Carmack's candidacy is significant
of large following among the
farmers and planters of Middle
and West Tennessee.

IN THE WINDY
CITY COLISEUM
THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CON-
VENTioN WILL BE HELD.
THREE CITIES IN CONTEST
Call for the Conclave on June 16 ls
lssued-Arrangem Made to
Improve and Enlarge
the Hall.

Washington, d. C.-Chicago was
selected as the place and June 16 as
the date for the next republican ma
tional convention. This decision fol-
lowed a long contest between the ad-
vocates of Chicago and those of Kan
sas City, Denver coming in at the end
with a formal but not important. effort
to secure the convention. The ballot
showed 81 votes for Chicago, Is for
Kansas City and for Denver.
The official call for the republican
national convention was issued Sun
day. 1t is signed by Chairman New
and Secretary Dover, of the republic
an national committee. The call says:
"Said convention shall consist of
four delegates at large from each
state, two delegates for each repre-
sentative at large in congress, two
delegates from each congressional dis
trict and from each of the territories
of Arizona, New Mexico and Hawaii;
two delegates from the District of Co
lumbia and two delegates each from
Alaska, Porto Rico and the Philip
pine Islands. For each delegate elect
ed to this convention an alternate
delegate shall be chosen to serve in
case of the absence of his principal,
"The delegates at large and their al
ternates shall be elected by popular
state and territorial conventions, of
which at least 80 days notice shall
have been published in some newspa-
per of general circulation in the re-
spective state or territory.
"The congressional district dele
gates shall be elected by conventions
called by the republican congressional
committee of each district; provided,
that in any congressional district
where there is no republican congress
sional committee, the republican state
committee shall be substituted for
and represent the congressional COM
mittee in issuing said call"
Chicago, Ill. - Delegates to the
national republican convention will
find the Coliseum, the big hall where
the 1904 gathering of the party was
held, improved and enlarged. Just as
soon as word was received in Chicago
that the national committee had Sc
lected this city for the convention, en-
gineers and architects were told to go
ahead with plans for alterations which
had been under consideration and as
result the big structure will be re-
modelled so as to seat $4,000 persons.
The ordinary seating capacity of the
great main hall is 10000. This can be
increased to 10000 without overcrowd-
ing; but present arrangements leave
too much waste space beneath the
great galleries which encircle the
main floor. 1t is proposed to utilize
this space by the construction of hang
ing galleries which will accommodate
5000 spectators. This will give
greater seating capacity than has been
available at any previous national con-
vention.

Oscar H., a Wise, Learned and Popular
King, Crosses the Divide.

Stockholm. - Oscar H., king of
Sweden, died at 9:10 o'clock Sun.
day morning The death of the vener.
able monarch occurred in the royal
apartments of the palace, where, sur
rounded by the members of his family,
including the aged Queen Sophia and
the crown prince, Oscar Gustave, and
his high ministers of state, the inevita-
BILE end had been awaited, while out.
side the palace great crowds stood
with bowed heads and fearful eyes
long after the announcement came of
the death of their well loved sovereign.
King Oscar has long been one OF
the most interesting figures of Euro.
pean royalty, his descent from Ma.
poleon's great field marshal, Berna,
dotte, his gigantic stature and his fam.
lily connections with many other great
houses of Europe combining to give
him an interesting personality. His
democratic habits have made him idol
lied by his subjects, who regarded
him more as father than monarch.
The new King Gustave much re-
sembles his father in gigantic statuRe
and in light Saxon-blonde features.
The young monarch has frequently
acted as regent during the Illness and
absence of his father and has display
ed good sense and ability. He is much
liked here and at other capitals.
Oscar H., king of Sweden and previ-
Gus to 1905 king of Sweden and Nor
way, was born January 81, 1929. He
was the third son of King Oscar /. and
of Queen Josephine, daughter of
Prince Eugene of Leuchtenberg, and a
grandson, of Marshal Bernadotte.
Oscar III. succeeded to the throne at
the death of his brother, King Carl
XIV, September 1S, 1872.
King Oscar was called the ablest
ruler OF the nineteenth century and
the most democratic king that ever
lived. He never made any attempt to
conceal the humble origin of his fam
lily and whenever he travelled to the
south Of France he made it point to
visit the little house at Pau where his
grandfather was born.
The late king was distinguished In
philosophy. He was an author,
translator and learned man in po-
litical economy.

Commander of Russian Troops at Port
Arthur and Three Other Generals
are Placed on Trial.

st. Petersburg. - The final stage
of the court-martail of Lieut.. Gen.
Stoessel will begin in this city
to-day. Stoessel is accused of having
surrendered the fortress at Port Ar.
thur before he had exhausted all the
resources of defense. The punishment
for this, under the Russian code, is
death. He is to be tried also on the
charge of lacking initiative and with
having exceeded his powers. Gen,
Fock and Gen. Reiss are co-defend
ants with him. The first is accused
of having conspired for the surrender
of the fortress and the second with
having executed the order to surren.

Before communication with Port
Arthur was finally off Gen. Kuropat-
kin both telegraphed and wrote to
Stoessel instructing him to hand over
the command of the fortress to Smirn,
off and rejoin the Manchurian army.
Stoessel did not follow these instruc-
tions. On the contrary he remained
at Port Arthur and arrogated to him
self the supreme authority.
1t will be the duty of the court to
determine whether the capitulation of
Port Arthur was justified. There were
probably $1,000 fighting men left at
the time of the surrender. The sick
and wounded numbered about $4,000.
