Will Be Bitter Fight.

The general impression in Wash
ington is that Senator Knox will be
the man upon whom all the anti
Roosevelt interests will combine, and
that when the ultimate show down
in the convention comes Knox and
Taft will be the leading candidates.
It is probable that the rase will be a
close one between them on the final
ballot and it is possible that if some
other candidate like Fairbanks. or
La Toilette, sticks to the last that
there will be a deadlock. The con-
troll of the National Committee by
the anti-Roosevelt faction, with its
power to decide which of the con-
testing delegations shall he placed
upon the roll of delegates may turn
the scale against Mr.. Roosevelt and
his candidate.
All the power and money of the
corporations and the tariff protected
intererts will be used to prevent
President Roosevelt from rounding
up the Southern delegates into the
Taft corral, and the opportunity for
corruption will not be wanting
where one side is ready to buy and
the other side to sell. Such is the
present condition in the Republican
camp, but with practical" polite
ians involved with both factions,
there may be Tightening changes in
the program when fonnd necessary
to achieve their ends.
Whichever faction succeeds and
whoever is nominated by the Re-
publicans, will leave gaping wounds
that will be hard to heal before
election time. especially in Ohio and
New York. Thus the chances of
the Democrats are apparently i'm
proved, but so much depends upon
whether the party can unite upon
candidate, who will not drive away
necessary votes to win in the
doubtful states, makes it impossi-
BILE to look forward to the result of
the election until, at least the NOM
nations of both parties have been
made.

Bank Your Money.

The Newberry Observer gives this
good advice. "If you have any money
put it in the bank. Don't keep it
about the house as temptation to
thieves and robbers. Banks are safe.
Not one in a thousand ever fails. A
railroad engineer in Augusta had ST.
500 stolen from his residence one
night last week. 1t has not been
many years since good woman Of
this county had $1,000 stolen from
her premises and good man had
500 from his. The bank is the
place for your moeny until you get
ready to spend it. Of course one
ought to keep little loose change
about him for convenience; but home
is no place for laying up money for
saving"

Mr.. Aldrich said he had great
confidence in the secretary Of the
treasury and did not wish to discuss
this question until he had before him
the statement and suggestions of the
secretary. He was satisfied that in

He was sure the secretary had done
what he thought was best.
Mr.. Tillman disavowed any inten-

done what he thought the best. "Un-

Potatoes do best in a cellar that is

Barrels or boxes are best for car.
rots, parsnips, beets and turnips. Aft.
er storing in these receptacles sand or
fine soil should be placed on top. allow

The soil should be shaken down so as
to fill all the spaces.
In harvesting the vegetables must

off an inch or more from the top. This

close they will bleed, losing their sweet

Onions should be perfectly dried as

where the thermometer is barely
above freezing they will keep well.
Cabbage placed in a barrel and sunk
In the ground and SO arranged that
moisture cannot enter and then thick

where 1t Is intended to be used dur

the cellar. Dampness will not harm
the keeping qualities.
To keep tomatoes pick the largest
specimens that have begun to show
color as soon as the vines are cut by
frost, but before the fruit Is frosted.
Handle carefully to prevent bruising.
Wrap each tomato separately in soft
paper and place in shallow boxes or
on a shelf ono layer deep. Keep in a
cool place, secure from frost, SO as to
prevent ripening. If few are brought
out at time and placed in a warm
place they will quickly ripen. They
can thus be kept for several weeks
after killing frosts.
An occasional turning under of the
whole crop is one Of the best paying
methods of farming.
