This state has no truer. better

that he Is nominated. after so bril-
liant, clean and progressive campaign
he Is reasonably sure OF election by

fight he made for the nomination Is

The Bluefeld Telegraph points
out an inconsistency of the real steam
roller bunch as follows:
Four years ago at Wheeling the
credentials committee was dispensed
with and the contesting delegations
of Kanawha, Wood and other coun-
ties seated. The same man who en-
gineered this feat of steam rollerins
appeared at Charleston this year, and
wanted the state committee to seat
a committee appointed delegation.
The Scherr supporters bolted be-
cause II was not done, while he and
his committee appointed delegation
from Ohio county did not bolt but
submitted their claims to the creden-
tials committee OF the regular con-
yention,

Democratlc Disbursements.

That the Democratic press needs a
censorship to be consistent is appar-
ent. Two incidents OF this day es-
tablishes this fact. First the News
here publishes lengthy editorial to
show that there Is no general resump-
ton of business throughout the coun-
try. With that marvellous illogical
article read, the reader takes up the
Fairmont Times, a Democratic news
paper of state standing. only to cast
his eyes on the big headlines of its
leading news article Of the day to
read: Good times are coming. Sc
lection of presidential candidates
starts wheels of commerce. West
Virginia shares also. Merchants re-
port an increased selling and workers
are getting more work"
Following the headlines he reads
in the column article paragraphs like
this:
Reports of conditions in West
Virginia are In accord with the re-
ports from other States and each
month sees more activity in coal. oil,
timber and other interests within the
Mountain State. More freight cars
have been called into activity. more
men are being employed each week
and the past two months have seen
business increased 100 per cent. over
the winter months. Since both of
the great parties have named their
leaders and there is no longer any
doubt as to who will occupy the pres
ident's chair during the next four
years business locally as we'll as over
the county will be better and a few
more weeks will witness the same
industrial activity in West Virginia
as was making the entire country
look this way before the little finan-
cial furry came upon the country
last fall. Reports published below
show that there is no longer any
reason for distrust"
The reports appended by that news
paper show conclusively that good
times are at hand and fully bear out
the declarations in the headlines OF
the Times article.
After the editorial writer of the
News has read the Times article and
made a little investigation for his
own knowledge, he will rightly con-
clude that there is an attempt al
"fooling the voters" but that he is

Hon. Charles W. Swlsher is the
regular Republican nominee and
will be elected by handsome major
ity. There is only one way to look at
this matter and that is this: II
scherr had a majority of the dele
gates why did he not so into the con-
vention and win out? The reason
that he boited is because he did not
have enough delegates to win out with
and bolted the regular convention to
save his face. Swisher will be elected
by big majority. The scherr bolt

WORK UP YOUR WASTE.

We notice in the Weekly Industrial Record an
article on pine wood distillation of turpentine,
by DR.. L. F. Hawley, of the Forest Service,
Washington D. G. 1t is stated that from 40 to
90 per cent of the tree is not used for lumber,
but goes to waste, in the shape of tops limbs,
slabs and saWdust This material is now being
utilized for making turpentine, by various pro-
cesses, some one of which could be used by any
saw mill for working up its waste. We publish
the following extract, as a suggestion to mill
owners in this parish:
In cooperation with the Yellow Pine
Manufacturers Association and the GEORGIA.
Florida Saw Mill Association, it is planned to
experlmentally refine some of the crude products
from saw mill waste and submit samples of the
refined products to the paint and varnish makers
for trial and judgment. From the results SO OBJ
tanned it will be possible to determine the grades
OF turpentlne best to prepare for market; and
when specifications are drawn up for these
grades it should be necessary only to make the
product from any plant correspond to these
specifications in order to find a ready market at
price corresponding more closely to the actual
value OF the product than at present.
we hope that the time may soon come when
every saWmil of sufficient size will be equipped
with plant for obtaining the turpentine from
It's waste material, and will be making a profit
from what was before not only useless but even
a source of expense and loss

THE RECENT CYCLONE.

The South has been comparatively free from
cyclones and wind storms, and we have always
considered ourselves immune, the terrible effects
OF the recent cyclone being an awakening as I'M
anticipated as it was devastating.
While sympathy and help is coming from all
directions the great extent of damage and the
deplorable loss of life and bodily injury necessi
tates much suffering that cannot be alIeviated
Immediately but that organized effort will soon
be able to control. All than can be done is be-
ing done Provisions supplies and medicines are
being shipped in such quantities as are obtain
able, and tents and improvised shelter have
taken the place Of homes Some of the towns
have already started in to reconstruct and re-
build, and out of the debris will arise new homes
many of them saddened by the absence of loved
ones lost in the storm
Among the deaths mourned in Covington is
that of Father Felix Rumpf, O. s.. B., at Amite
City. The body was brought to Covington on a
special Friday evening and was buried in St
Joseph's Abbey, Sunday amidst the scenes
which in life had been an inspiration to the no.
BILE work in which lie was engaged at the time
of his his death
The scenes of desoation and suffering, nota-
bly, at Purvis, where 70 per cent. of the build
lngs were destroyed and 80 per cent. damaged,
are appalling, some being without stitch of
clothing to protect them from the elements. Out
of population of twenty-five hundred two thou
sand are homeless.
Even from the Capital City comes message
OF sympathy and offer Of aid from the President.
and Congress passed resolution providing for
an immediate supply of provisions and tents
New Orleans, with her big heart and sympa-
thetic nature, was among the first to tender aid
money and provisions, and is still gathering to-
gether whatever the good people have to give
that will be of service. The sympathy of the
whole country is expressed in willingness to
aid the sufferers in every way possible.
Mrs. j. Stern, of Stern & Son, has taken up
subscriptions to the amount of $241, and the la
dies Of CoVington are getting up an entertain
ment for next Friday night for the sufferers.
We will publish list of those who contributed
to the fund gotten up by Mrs. Stern, next week.
Rev. Daniels is soliciting subscriptions among

THE PARISH FAIR ASSOCIATION,

The step that was taken for the organization
OF Fair Association in St. Tammany Parish at
the Courthouse last Monday, if successfully fol
lowed up will lead to great agricultural improve
ment, as well an interest in stock breeding.
It is arecognized fact that next to manufacture
ing interests there is no factor of wealth pro-
duclng influences more important or that adds
more to the prosperity of town than prosper
Gus agricultural surroundings Those who look
upon the exhibits of agricultural products and
improved stock as aid and announcement to
farmers simply, have not nearly grasped the
true mission of such exhibits. The merchant
and the property-holdersin the town are as much
interested financially in the organization as any
farmer in the parish, and in some instances
more SO. Every man who aids IN the establish ! Il
meE5t-SI tins association is working for his own
interest and, conversely, every man who fails
to lend his assistance is blind to his own interest
We hope to see proper energy Injected into
the movement, and if those influential citizens
who have the power to guide it to suckess will
but exercise that power, they will be Eemem-
bered by a grateful community when the bene-l
tits are reaped and the results prove the Wisdom
of their action
Secretary Barrow deserves the THANH
the people for the interest he has taken IN tho
matter, and for the thoroughness with which he
entered into detailed information and convinc-
ing proof of the benefit of such an association
to our parish.
Among other remarks made by Mr. Barrow
that should fall gratefully upon our ears, was
the declaration that the possibilities of our soil
far exceeded anything that we had attempted, !
he had seen products raised
here unexcelled in any other country; that we
receive melons from Georgia that should be
raised here. When a young man he had turned
the soil OF Georgia over with a hoe and thought
t about as poor soil as he had even seen He
.urther remarked that he had seen cattle
n the woods in as fine condition as anywhere in
he State With the introduction of pastures
nd silos, that we had an ideal dairy country,
With advantages unsurpassed anywhere. When I
re consider that Mr.. Barrow is specially fitted
pass upon these subjects it is our duty to take
eed and make the most of our opportunities. v
