Tillman, Dutro, Hale and Evans
Picked for Delegates From the State
at Large, but Who Will Be National
Committeeman 10 the Question.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, April 2S.-
The Times says:
There is going to be merry war
in Republican ranks next year over
the selection of delegates from the
State at large to the National con-
vention Mr.. Brownlow wants to con-
troll the delegation and the Evans-Hale
faction, now in the saddle, is equally
determined to continue in power.
Here is the slate of the Evans wing
of the party: G. N. Tillman, l.. W.
Dutro, N. w. Hale and H. Clay Evans.
Mr.. Tillman is a prominent attorney
at Nashville and it was through the
Evans influences that the appointment
as United States District Attorney
was given his brother, A. M. Tillman,
when Congressman Brownlow was
seeking to have Jesse M. Littleton
selected. Mr. Dutro is the postmaster
at Memphis and Mr.. Hale represents
the Second District in Congress. This
gives East Tennessee two of the del
egates and the western and middle
divisions of the State one each.
Just who will be put forward by
the Brownlow forces yet remains to |
be seen, although it is certain that |
the "big boss" will himself be a candi-
date 1t is natural that, since he is
left OF the formidable Evans-Hale
slate, he should be DESTROYS of being
one of the Tennessee delegates. How
ever, il present plans go through, Mr..
Brownlow will have to be elected as
one OF the First District delegates or
stay at home while the Republicans
are nominating their candidate for the

that Mr. Brownlow doesn't like it is

Yesterday there was considerable
activity in the Republican ranks and a

Nashville that both Newell Sanders
md Mr. Hale would be candidates for
National Committeeman from Tonnes
Zee caused considerable gossip. While
t was agreed that both would like to
lave the honor very much, 1t was de-

CADETS MAKE

UAL" FEATURE OF THE DAY
AT NASHVILLE FESTIVAL.
PRESENTED WITH HAND
SOME LOVING CUP

4
The Nashville American contains
the following account of the appear
ance of the C. NJ. A. Cadets at the
Nashville Spring Festival Thursday:
The feature of the afternoon was
the execution of the Butts Manual
by the c. NJ. A. cadets. They were
superior to anything, with the possible
exception Of the Grays, on the ground
in. the close order drill, but in the
Butts Manual" they manifested the
unbroken movements of the manual
of arms. The drin is a calisthenic
exercise of rare effect when done in
unison. A feature of the drill never
seen in Nashville was a double exer-
else in which the cadets doubled and
with rifles first aloft and then down
made plain the hard work through
which they had gone to attain the
perfection manifested.
The cadets were commanded by Maj
II. j. Martin, who with Maj. Ohio Rob.
inson, of GAINESVILLE, officiated as
Judge. The task was a difficult one,
and the Judges were the hardest
worked men on the field.
At the conclusion Of the exhibition
drill the cadets were drawn up be
fore the Judges stand and on behalf
of the Board of Trade, DR.. r.. B. Lees
presented Maj. Martin with hand
some silver loving cup, The
cup was presented with a happy
speech by DR.. Lees, and fitting re-
Spouse was made by Maj. Martin, in
which he thanked the Board of Trade,
Col. w. C. Tatom and the other pro- |
motors of the occasion for many cour-
tesies.
Presenting the cup, DIR. Lees said:
Presentation, Speech.
In behalf of the Board of Trade,
whom ! have the honor to represent
IN this occasion, ! desire to present |
% the splendid company Of which you
ire the commandant this beautiful low
ng cup. Tennessee, whose military
history is known to the world, and
has challenged the admiration Of all
Nations, is proud of her splendid sol
Iiery. Their achievements on the
Ield of battle in the past, and their
walks of life as private citizens after
he close of hostilities are unsurpass-
d in military annals. Now that the
avs of war are over and peace reigns
throughout the universe. 1t is mat
er of congratulation that in these
avs Tennessee has such worthy sue
essors to their gallant forefathers
S the boys in gray and blue who are
,day assembled here. It demonstrate
that the spirit of chivalry and cour-
&c has not departed, but that ever
stingly the example of those who
,ught in days gone by in defense Of
leir country, they are ever ready to
phold the high standard set by those
no preceded them, and that gallant
peace. they will be no less gallant
war, should 1t ever come, and let
sincerely hope that that day will
,ver come.
Columbia, closely allied to Nash
lie by the bonds of friendship and
has much reason to feel
ep pride in the success of her SOL
er-sons.
May these bonds increase in
rength. as the years go by, and in

HIGH OPPORTUNITIES RIGHT AT HOME.

A number Of CordeIeans are talking
of a permanent nature. From what
they have read of that island they be-
lieve there are golden opportunities
there for men with some means and
plenty of grit and push.
Perhaps they are right. The Oppor-
tunities may be there. But it is not
unlikely that after they had been in
the Queen of the Antilles" few
weeks they would be disillusioned and
learn that all that glitters at long dis
lance is not gold, that in Cuba, as else
where, money is not to be picked up
by the roadside, and there, as else
where, there are just as many failures
vexations and set backs in a business
career as in this country.
The Cordele Rambler properly holds
that these citizens Gifts town who think
of casting their lives in an alien place,
among strangers Of different race and
with different thoughts and methods,
are probably making grievous
mistake. The Rambler says truth
fully: ''The whole of South Geor-
gia is growing, and we believe that as
great opportunities are offered here as
in Cuba
In his lecture on Acres of Diamond"

munity who are today in comfortable

circumstances, on the highroad tC
wealth if not already rich, came here
with little or no means. They have de-
monstrated that there are an abundance
of opportunities right here, that it is
unnecessary to go North or West, or to
seek the large cities, to accumulate
means or win success. This is the
ga rden spot of Georgia. No other seq
ton of the State has brighter future,
no other section is developing more
rapidly, or progressing at a greater
rate in population and wealth. 1t is
comparatively in the infancy of its de-
velOpment. Ten or fifteen years from
now it VIII be cobwebbed with electric
railroads, its waste places will be large
ly filled up with enterprising farmers,
its towns and cities will have more
than doubled in population and mills
and factories will abound This is no
idle dream. 1t is the recognized future
of this part Of Georgia.
Why, then; should any young man
desire to leave it to seek fortune else
where. There is no healthier land to
be found, no climate that is more pleas
ant the year round, no people who are
more generous or more willing to as
sist the beginner. The peculiar fasci-
nation that things at a distance seem
to possess is soon dissipated on actual
contact. The mirage of the desert dies
away and the arid sand alone remains.
That has been the experience of many
a man who has gone far away pursuing
the elusive phantom of success, neg
Letting the openings that lay at his very
door.
Stay right here. You will never find
greater opportunities to get ahead in
life than surround you in Americas
and in Sumter and its adjacent coun-
ties.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1907-03-06

legislation of this character in the past
has been put through by throwing
crumbs here, there and everywhere to
enlist local influence and support. 1t
was the hope of the promoters of the
present scheme that such methods
wsuid prove successful again. But
they miscalculated.
PrinclDle above pelf should sbe the
controlling motive of the Southern
congressman. This section, more than
any other, has stood for sound govern
mental policy in the past. !, 1t should
not be forced from its position 'in the
future by the contemplate device of
giving it "a piece of the pie" The South
has bred too many great statesmen,
and has stood too strenuously for the
rights of the people through it's long
and eventful history, to bargain away
its blrthright ofhonor fer a mess OF
pottage like this.
The subsidy bill would not have been
defeated but for the manly way in
which Southern senators stood true to
theirprincipIes. May they always be as
strong in their adherence to the right.

BROUGHT NEW ~o~oR 70 rHe sour4.

Congress has adjourned and the sub
sidy bill has gone over to a new Con-
gress, there, we hope to be again
defeated by Democratic votes.
1t is 2 satisfaction to know that
sufficient Democrats stood with the
recalcitrant Republicans to defeat this
measure. 1t is another gem IN the
crown of the party. Once more princi-
pie has prevailed and a grating
measure has received quietus
through the votes and work of men
who are opposed to any further grabs
for corporations at the expense Of the
people.
Efforts were made to seduce the
Southern senators from their position
by offering the bait Of larger appropria-
tions to lines of ships running from
the Gulf ports, and by threats of cutting
out the South entirely from any share
in the benefits of the subsidy. Both
iniquitous schemes failed.
1t is cause for congratulation that
representatives ofthis section refused
to allow themselves to be either cajoled
or bulldozed into permitting the pass
ing of the subsidy bill. Too much

VIII Prove Financial Failure.

Havana, March 5.-The present
sugar crop will prove a financial fail
ure unless the price of sugar ad-
vances. Although the weather is
good and the abundance of cane has
enabled grinding to be carried on
without interruption the cost of pro-
duction is excessive The cost OF
labor is nearly double the average
for recent years. The Spanish sill
yer is nearly at par and the railroad
rates are very high. The planters
complain they are working exclusive
ly for the benefit of the railroads
which are charging from Is to so
cents for hauling a sack of sugar of
325 pounds weight to port. 1t is
alleged that the principal railroad,
which recently increased it's stock so
per cent did so to hide the high di
vidends it is earning. These, it
Is said, are almost due to the high
freight rates on sugar.
