Campaign a Short One

The campaign last year was, there
fore, of only three weeks duration
but Americus has rarely seen a more
strenuous one There was a full
field of candidates, and the heroes OF
many hard fought political battles
met defeat for the first time.
The citizens meeting a memorable
one, was held just a year ago, and
its candidates won out in the result
ing election.
Rumor has been current of the
probability of another citizens meet
ing this fall, to name candidates, but
as there are other positions to be
filled, aside from the aldermanic va
cancies, the plan seems scarcely feas-
ible at this time
Besides, the white primary secures
full and free expression of the
wishes of the people
At the primary the voters will ex-
press their choice for mayor, Alder
men and clerk, all at the same time,
and seems altogether preferable. And
all that is needed to bring out num-
erous announcements is the action of
the committee.
What think thees gentlemen of ear
ly action upon their part?
Manr GondSdnknc 4o Aefo,,
Three or four mayoralty aspirants
are eager to get into the running, if
the road to the Office appears quite
clear to them, while there will be
no dearth of aldermanic candidates.
Shake bush at this season and one
can catch a candidate.
Aldermen Childers, Furlow and
Poole are the retiring members of
council this year Alderman Poole
has served six years, Alderman Child
ers four, Alderman Furlow two
years.
One or two Of these, it is we'll
known, will not offer for reelection,
but there will be little difficulty in
finding three citizens willing to labor
for the public veal The retiring
members have rendered good service,
and will quit with all honors.
But to the primary-let the exc
cutive committee restore tranquility
in having this annual ordeal over
with as soon as possible.

1t will soon be time to take young
pigs from the sows, and in weaving
them much care will be necessary to
avoid stunning them or stopping their
growth. When about three weeks old
the young pigs will begin to look
around for feed, and a pen should then
be provided for them where they can
be coaxed and given a little fresh
milk-it takes very little at first-after
they have once tasted the milk they
may be easily called to their feed.
Corn should be constantly kept in this
pen and the little pigs have free access
to ii at all times Milk or swill should
be fed to them, little at first. and
increased gradually daily. 1t will be
beneficial to give them all the fresh.
clean swill they will drink up clean
at each feed. Never feed little pigs
anything sour, or so much swill that il
will stand in the trough and sour. Feed
them this way until you see that the
SOW is dried up. then remove her and
the pigs will be weaned.

shown in the floor plan. The open shed
Is used for tools, wagon. buggy, or
shop, and sometimes simply as a
place to store manure. In some of the
colder States doors should be provided
for the shed, and possibly the parti-
tons extended to the ceiling. The
structure is ten feet at the caves and
fourteen to sixteen feet in front. The
loft is fioored over eight feet above
the grade line. This provides ample
storage space for hay and rough feed
and the two feed rooms are ample for
grain and bran. These may be fioored
or not, as desired. The outer walls are
boarded up and down and battened.
The roof should be covered with some
rather tight material not over eight
inches wide. and this is turn covered
with any OF the prepared roofing felt

been built several times at a price
ranging from 500 to $50, and can be
built some cheaper where native lum-

Amid this pandemonium, and with the galleries in full control, Chairman Lodge decided upon heroic action in order again to make the convention master of its affairs He ordered the roll call of states to begin for the vote on president Such a call, under such circumstances of intense con fusion. has probably never before oc- cured in the history of national con ventions. The secretary was power less to make his call of the states heard above the deafening clamor. Seizing megaphone he shouted the roll of states-Alabama, Arkansas but his voice was swallowed up in the mad uproar. Gradually, however, the curiosity of the multitude conquered their enthusiasm, and they lapsed into silence to hear the result of the roll call
 A hush of expectancy hung over the assembly as the call proceeded. Nasty summaries showed that Taft was far in advance When New York was reached the Taft column totaled 427. Ohio carried the Taft total to 5f1, or 20 more than enough to nom- mate. Still the call went on until the final result was announced by Chair man Lodge:
 For Theodore Roosevelt, votes for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio 16 votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks of Indiana. 40 votes; for Joseph Cannon of Illinois. 6l votes; for Robert La Fol lette of Wisconsin. 25 votes; for Charles E. Hughes of New York, 63 votes: for Philander c. Knox of Penn sylvania GS votes. and William H. Taft of Ono, TOP votes
 A great shout went up as Lodge concluded his announcement, and with one accord the cohorts of Cannon and Knox and Hughes and the other heroes, joined in common tribute for the candidate of the party,
 Sherman for Second Place.
 The nomination for the vice-presi- dency was not made until Friday When the convention adjourned for the day Thursday the situation re- garding second place on the ticket was decidedly unsettled, but before the del. egates met Friday an arrangement had been perfected for the Taft delegates to support Representative James S sherman of New York as the running mate of the secretary of war.
 Three names were placed in nomi- nation when the chairman announced that nominations were in order Sher. man was named as New York's choice by Tim Woodruff, former lieutenant governor of the state; Gov. Curtis Guild of Massachusetts was placed in nomination by Senator Lodge, and E1x. Gov. Franklin Murphy of New Jersey was named by Thomas N. MeCarter. Several brief seconding speeches were made for each candidate.
 When the roll call was begun it was soon seen that sherman was the popu- lar choice of the delegates. When enough votes had been cast to insure his nomination Senator Crane of Massac husetts moved that 1t be made unanimous and it was carried with 6 shout of approval.
 The usual motions of aeknowleIg- ment to the officers of the convention and to the city in which it was held were then passed.

 Two weeks ago Hugh Dean and sev- eral other white men attended a dance at negro church in Sabine county; during the evening there was an af. fray and Dean was killed. The ne grocs made up a purse that the guilty one might leave the country. Officers investigated the affair and six negroes were arrested and jailed at Hemphili. There has been much muttering. but no violence, eyer since
 The evidence at the examining trial of these negroes showed that at the Rockwell church, which is only few miles from where Johnson was killed. young Dean had presumably gone to get whiskey, as a full bottle was found in his hand when his body was found. This is q local option section and it has been the habit of some of the negroes to sell Whiskey at these dances The plot to kill Dean, according to the evidence of several negroes was laid at the negro school house about hundred yards from the church Several of the old and young. CT negroes heard them planning and plotting. to which they testified.
 Saturday night Aaron NJ. Johnson, a prominent young farmer of Sabine county, was assassinated while he was playing with his child He was shot through the head.
 State rangers made an investigation and arrested Perry Prince, negro, who, had worked on Johnson's place Prince confessed that he had commit ted the crime. and implicated Bob White, brother-iniaW of JohVaon. When this became known, mob Sun day night went to the Hemphill jail and took the six negroes out. five of them being hanged to the same limb of the same tree. There were 150 in the mob. The jailer was overpowered and his keys secured. Frank Will Hams ran and was shot down.
