In politics, in industry. the old has passed, the new has come and the world rolls on.
 A history making convention had just been held. The bitterest, the most int hse political strife of Alabama's civil history was on when the pho- tographer planted his camera on Court Square and took his snap shot of the impromptu ratification meeting in front of the old Exchange Hotel. Thomas G. Jones had been nominated for Governor of Alabama by the most stirring and exciting convention that the Demo- cratic party ever held. Reuben F. Kolb had lost the nomination for Governor, for which he had striven for months and years. The Farmers Alliance mad fallen short of the prize for which it 2 had striven-the political control of the State of Alabama. The Democratic party had just renewed its allegiance to the older and finer ideals of the party and had beaten back the attempt to have it controlled by secret or der.
 But that is past and gone. It boots nothing to fan again into life the lead

 Large numbers of boxes and bar rels had been hauled to Court Square and also as far down Commerce street as the depot. At early dark huge bon fires were made of them, and the streets in the vicinity were illuminat- ed. Red lights were burned in dozens of places at the same time, and can pons, stationed upon Capitol Hill, thundered in their loudest tones. The cannons were fired by a detachment of the Montgomery Field Artillery. In the meanwhile. the streets were tHEUHScu Wllu NOHlSll anu ChiA- dren, a seething. surging mass, elbow ing their way towards the Exchange Hotel. where 1t had been announced there would be speaking.

sore throats in the city today. 1t ii | not because their owners did not try to split them.
 At the hotel the balcony was filled with ladies, but a space was soon made for the party, and the speaking | began. Montgomery has been flooded with oratory for the past four days but no orator has had as large an au- dience. or one who was more in heart sympathy with the speaker than Colonel Jones when he was introduced by Col. H. c. Tompkins
 Colonel Jones'. in a very touching and appropriate manner, made a very beautiful speech. thanking the citi- zens of this city for the honor thus conferred upon him.
 'TIe congratulated them that the long political contest was ended and that all were reunited. This grand re- suit was due In great pait to his din- who, though not successful, had shown himself great in diversity ana his heart went out to him.
 Captain R. F. Kon was next i'm troduced and made an excellent speech. Thanking his many friends for the support given him anc kind expres- sions received from them, he asked that all bitterness oe buried in oblivion. and net to look urcn those who had follow d and stood by him other than Demo- cIats He referred to the fact of nls not being a speaker, and said that of al. the men who opposed hlm, he had rather Colonel Jones Je nominated than any one else. that Colonsi Jones had never gone in his county or did single dishonorable thing against him, Other speeches were made by Robert [ owe and E. J. Taliafer-o Of Birniing- ham, Hon. Sam Blackw'l of MorGah and Hon. Tenaent Lnmax, of MontSom' cry.
 It was a grand ocasion. Everybody was happy and they showed 1t. The speakers were loudly applauded. Hon. W. H. Denson and Hon. Henry D.

The mottoes borne that night. on the transparencies carried through the streets of Montgomery in the ratifica- tion parade indicate the tense pollti- cal feeling of those exciting days. Re- printed in 1907 they bring into the Twentieth Century. an echo of stormy times and stormy isues. Some of the emblazoned notices were:

The Convention civ.

Clarksburg is landing State con-
yentions so thick and fast that it is
getting to be quite a task to keep
track OF them all. The latest organ
ization 20 choose the Convention City
as dts next place of meeting is the I'm
proved Order of Red Men, which
has Just concluded its annual State
meeting in Huntington. Nearly
every State association that has met
this year has done likewise and
EClarksburgers hope that all of these
societies will make it unanimous and
come here next year. There will be
fifteen or twenty conventions held
here this summer and it is quite
likely that several more will also be
brought to the city.
Clarksburg is indeed the conven-
tion city of the State and the dele
gates and visitors are so cordially
entertained and have such splendid
time that the city is building up a
reputation in this respect that is
making the other cities of the state
squirm with envy. Clarksburg's CEN
trail location saves lot of money
in travelling expenses and this fact
is one of the big inducements in
bringing state conventions to the
city. There are splendid hotel ac-
commodations and all facilities for
holding sessions without hindrance
or inconvenience.
clarksburg can take care of just
as many conventions as want to
come here and If there are any more
societies looking around for a good
place to meet in, they will do well
TO send here for date-in order

and arrange to spend a delightful

Taft,s VICTORY.

The Republican leaders in Ohio
almost without exception have taken
their cue from the rank and file of
the party In that state and now vir-
tually announce what will be the
schedule there as to nominations in
1908. They have learned the fact
that the rank and file are for Taft
for President, and they recommend
united endorsement OF his candidacy.
This will doubtless be done at the
big mass meeting in Columbus next
week.
Secretary Taft has never been a
candidate for Senator Foraker's
place, and his friends will hardly
try to defeat Senator Foraker for re-
election. The latter in the contest
now about matter of history labor
ed under the impression that the
Taft forces were out for Foraker's
scalp for reelection to the United
States Senate, but he seems to have
been in error and doubtless the con-
ference will result in a very salts
factory solution of this matter and
Senator Foraker will not be strongly
opposed, If at all, for reelection.
And, when it comes to a candidate
for governor, all will agree with
George B. Cox, of Cincinnati, that
Governor Harris is the right man.
There viii be no party opposition to
him.
Thus. perfect harmony promises
TO again exist in the Republican party
in Ohio. and this means Republican
victory beyond possible chance co
dispute 1t. 1t also means that Ohio
will furnish the country's next

President, as this action on their part
of endorsing Mr.. Taft forms the basis
of what all the other great States
will do. It also shows that the OPP
position to Mr.. Roosevelt's choice
has been overcome, in fact, shows it
was not very strong all along, and
ohio's action right now has a ma
tional significance that Taft will re-
ceive the nomination without form
liable opposition, if any at all, and
there are none to gainsay the belief
that he will land successfully in the
Presidential chair.

Robbing an Editor.

A thief entered the home of the
editor OF the Fatrmont West vir-
ginian a night or so ago and stole
his workday coat and vest and
watch that happened to be in the vest
pocket. He also stole dollar in
paper money which happened to be
on the mantle shelf. In recording
the incident in his paper the editor
of the West Virginian explains that
the paper dollar belonged to his
wife. an explanation which would OF
course be very naturally demanded
by the fraternity had he neglected
to supply the same.
In philosophizing on the occur
renee the editor says the remarkable
thing about it was the poor judg-
ment displayed by the thief in
breaking into an editors house in
the search of money However the
West virginian editor careIessly ne
elects to explain one statement con-
corning the affair which the Tele-
gram fails to understand. He says
that the thief left the editors Sun
day coat hanging in wardrobe.
Now there We're one coat and one
vest which were stolen, Sunday coat
in the wardrobe and. unless the ed
itor were sleep in bed, another
one on his back. How does the
Fairmont editor expect his brother
editors OF the State to believe that
he actually possessed at one time
three coats? Great copy hooksl

must have made grave errsr in
penning his article. or else the

In offering this melon more exten-

it's history. About eight years one Of
my brothers (Thomas E. Watson)
friends sent him a small package of
the seed and stated to him that he
called it the Watson melon. My
brother gave the seed to me, planted
few hills the first year and was so
greatly pleased with the melon that
l planted about two acres in them
the following year, the yield and sales
were SO satisfactory that I discarded
all others.

slider the Watson melon the very best
that I ever saw in every respect. 1t
grows larger, under the same circum-
stances, has fewer rotten ends, keeps
longer after getting ripe, is very solid,
for which reason it is a good shipper.
