STEAMER ROWLAND
 REACHES MEMPHIS
Loaded With 1000 Bales of Flcecy Staple the Big Boat Made a Sue. cesSiuI Run From This City and Reached Memphis Yesterday.

The Memphis Commercial Appeal has the following account of the steamer Lucille Nowland's recent trip from Pine Bluff to Memphis, where it carried 1 900 bales of cotton from this city to Memphis for the Newburger Cotton Company of that place:
 4 new and novel sight was seen up on the river ill front of Memphis yes terday morning.
 The steamboat, Lucille Rowland, be- longing to the Arkansas River Packet Company, was winding her way up the stream out in the middle of the river. She was loaded down to the guards and up to her hurricane decks with cotton. Everybody stood in wonder ment when they saw that the steamer made no attempt to land at the wharf and no one seemed to know whither she was bound until she entered Wolf river. Later it developed that upon reaching Compress No. 6 in the navy yard the Lucille safely moored to the wharf of the compress, which extends out into the river. and the rOustabouts were shortly busy discharging her car go.
 The steamboat brought in 1000 bales of farmers cotton from Arkan-
 
 trips.
 The Farmers Union is alive to the many advantages that Memphis enjoys as a cotton market and are fast to seize upon any advantage that will reduce the expense of marketing their cotton.
 Investigation has shown that the handling of cotton in this manner re- suited in a large saving which goes directly 10 the producer The cotton is taken direct from the steamboat, and put into the compress without any Wharfage Or unloading charges what eyer. This alone is saving of 9 NtiilS d Ddit ui tts tAtoC eio SoAAP N ''A' handling cotton from the wharf 10 the compress.
 Time also is an element entering largely into the handling of cotton from the steamboats direct to the compress, this cargo being unloaded at a rate of 100 bales per hour, and within twenty-four hours can be sam pied, weighed, classed, compressed and loaded into cars and on it's way to the mills
 It is quick and cheap service like this that will go to perpetuate Mem- phs as the largest interior cotton market in the world. The cotton men of Memphis are alive to every econ omy in the handling of cotton for mar keting purposes which tend to in- crease the limits that are paid direct ly benefitting the producer.
 This is the second cargo of cotton unloaded in the Wolf river at Con- press No within the past week and there is a great deal more cotton still remaining in the country, fair share of which will reach Memphis through 1 this channel.

THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE.

While Secretary Taft is making a triumpha! march, with the Republican nomination virtually within his grasp, the outlook in the Democratic party appears to be getting darker and more dubious for MT. Bryan every day. 4 few months ago Bryan's nomination seemed assured, SC much so that he and his friends were busying them selves in the work of formulating the platform to be adopted at the Demo- cratic national convention. However, the unfavorabie result of the Demo cratic state conventions in Michigan, New York, Massachusetts and other states in the East and Middle West raised a doubt as to the likelihood tha; Bryan would De able to command the two-thirds majority in the national convention which, according to Demo cratic usage, Is necessary to a nomina- ton. Following these reverses, New Jersey and Connecticut, two states that usually have considerable weight in the councils of the Democratic party, have joined the anti-Bryan col
 umn within the past week, and nov it has begun 10 be feared that MT Bryan will not even have a maioritl in the national convention The is
 sue is in grave doubt, with the fna
 result depending upon the action c the Southern states, which will hol

their conventions to select delegates during the next thirty days. The lead CTS of the party in the South as a rule are opposed to Bryan's nomination. mainly for the reason, as they frankly declare, that they are tired Of defeat. It may be glorious, as Mr. Bryan' urges, to go down to defeat for the sake of principle, but the Southerners are at once hungry for the spells of office and opposed to the Bryan die tum of principles. The masses of the Democratic party in the Southern states are undoubtedly inclined to favor Bryan, and the problem resolved itself into question as to whether the leaders can persuade their con- stituents to follow their lead. 1nas- much as the Democratic party in tho South is pretty much of an oligarchy, with the party machinery in the hands of a few men in each state, it is prob able that the leaders will have their way if they can muster up the courage to risk Mir. Bryan's vengeance in their future campaigns for office. If they should defeat his nomination this year and the nominee they name should be beaten in the presidential struggle, Bryan would have tremendous ad- vantage over them when they come up for reelection.
 Meanwhile. Governor JohnsOns $ friends are growing more confident from week 10 week and his manager has opened headquarters in Washing ton, with the announcement that the Johnson boom is gaining ground so fast that it is necessary to maintain open house to accommodate all the men who are hocking to his suppoN This bold step on the part of the Johnson Democrats means that from this, time forward the fight will get hotter and hotter. It is strange circumstance and a potent evidence of Bryan's lack of political judgment that instead of having the nomination at his mercy as he did a year ago Bryan is now fighting on the defensive, with fair prospect of losing in the end.-kansas City Journal.
