To Discuss Highways.

AS has been the custom for several
years, meetings have been arranged
under the direction of Paul d. Sar-
gent, state commissioner of high
ways, to be held at the various
county seats during April and May,
for the purpose of discussing the
general problem of road construction
and maintenance. There are seven
teen such meetings in all and the one
in which the people of this county
are especially interested will convene
at the Court House in Skowhegan at
eleven O'Clock a. m. on Friday, May
1st. These conferences have been
very interesting and profitable in the
past and the one on May 1st will
undoubtedly prove SO. Mr. Sargent
will be present and conduct the
meeting. 1t is open to the public and
a large attendance would be crafty
ing to our county and municipal
officers who have directly in charge
the care of our highways.

on Thaw's behalf during the hearing
of the habeas corpus writ by which
Stanford Whites slayer sought four
months ago to get out OF custody. It
has been sort of unwritten agree
ment that the Wilson case should be
continued every time 1t was called, so
that Thaw, having enjoyed pleasant
ride of sixteen miles down the Hudson

spend the rest of the day in trolley

FIT. WORTH, Tex, Aug. 31.-On
the eve of the annual convention OF
the Farmers Union which opens to.
morrow, it is regarded as certain that
the minimum price for the new crop
Of cotton will be fixed above IL cents.
Some of the leaders favor Is cents,

A selling agency, calling for con-
centration of the cotton being held
and sales in bulk direct to the spin
ner, thus eliminating the middlemen,
has been perfected by the National
Cotton Handling Committee. The
spinners are said to have formed an
alliance with the farmers and will aid
in eliminating the middlemen.
The fight on the bucket shop" will
be renewed by the convention. It is
announced that a committee includ-
Ing one farmer from each State will

gress, instructed to secure the enact

SANDERS WILL
DIRECT CONTEST
G. o. p. STATE CHAIRMAN TO BE
ACTIVELY IN CHARGE OF
THE RACE.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Aug. 3D.
State Chairman Newell Sanders today
stated that he would manage the cam
paign of G.. N Tillman, candidate for
governor. 1t has been generally sup
posed that Mr.. Sanders would dictate
the policies to be followed in the
gubernatorial race but it was not
known that he would be actively in
charge of the headquarters. He said
that he intended to spend half of his
time in Nashville and the other half
in Chattanooga, and although Mr..
Tillman may have advisors, the Chat
tanooga leader will be supreme.
Chairman Sanders said that no
more speaking dates had been ar.
ranged for candidate Tillman, but he
expected to have some announce
ments in the next few days. When
the reporter first asked him If there
was anything new in the campaign,
he said there was nothing for publica-
ton, but that lot of work had been
accomplished in the last few days. /
When the campaign manager was
asked what success he expected his
candidate would have, Mr.. Sanders
smiled blandly and said, "They will
all know Mr.. Tillman was in the field
before next November"

accompanied to headquarters by John

me" said Mr.. Mack tonight, that he

= NASHVILLE, Tenn, Aug. 31.-Or
Sunday morning Former Senator E
w. Carmack became the editor in
chief of the Nashville Tennesean, an
announcement to that effect appear
ing on the editorial page of the paper
and being signed by the Board of
Directors. Over his own signature,
Mr.. Carmack also makes the same an
nouncement and states in brief the
! policies which the paper will pursue
under his charge. The course of the
paper having in the past met with his
approval, Mr.. Carmack states that
there will be no change In its policy.
He declares that the newspaper press
Of the country is largely controlled by
the powers that prey. Continuing he
says:
The Tennessean is Democratic in
politics.. 1t is Democratic because,
and only because, it believes that the
principles of the Democratic party
will secure the largest measure of in
dividual liberty and the largest meas
ure of general happiness and pros
perity.
1t will lend its support to ALI the
oninees of the Democratic party,
10Th national and State But it does
Of believe that the whole duty of a
re-.oc-at is eomprehended in sup
orting candidates duly labeled by a |
PARTY convention.
THE duty which Democrat owes
to his party should never be separated
in his thought from the duty he owes
TO his country; and he is either Faith
less or a coward who will see his
i arty made the harlot of corrupt
machine and lift no hand to save it
from dishonor. The real friend of the
Democratic party is he who would
keep it pure and honest, true to its
principles, faithful to it's traditions
as the party of the people. He who
can be awed into silence or bullied
into approval while his party Is de-
bauched and dishonored deserves the
anne Of traitor.
The Tennessean will, therefore,
speak its mind freely and fearlessly
with reference to conditions in our
ate politics. In doing so 1t will not
