Peninsula enterprise. [volume] (Accomac, Va.) 1881-1965, 1908-07-04

The Democratic clans are gathering
at Denver and before another issue Oh
this paper it will be known, under
whose leadership, the fight IS to be
made for Democratic victory IN the
next Presidential contest. That 1t Will
be Hon. William Jennings Bryan now
seems to be certain, but it may be some
one else, if Mr.. Bryan fails to capture
the place on the first ballot, as predlc-
ted in late dispatches from the scene OF
the conflict. If it should be Mr.. Bryan
everyone, of course, worthy Of the
name of a Democrat, will be in line for
him. If the party decides against him
there can be no less doubt as to the
duty of all Democrats to give the nomi-
nee their earnest support. We want
Democratic victory, whoever the leader
NAV be-the country needs it, if we
would get relief from the evils of Re
publicanism and the moneyed power
that now dominates and controls the
Republican party-and every Demo
crat can only hope for it by Cheerful
acouiescence in the action of the Denver
Convention and in the hearty supper
of its candidate. If Mr.. Bryan is noml
mated he prefers, it is stated, Hon
Geo. Gray, of Delaware as his running
mate. and as this would mean an accep
lance of the result by the class o
Democrats represented by him, it is t.
be hoped, that he will be patriot enough
to accept that place on the ticket
rendered to him.

An explicit and very emphatic deniaI
!, made by Ex-Governor Montague OF
the charge, widely circulated of late
through the papers of the State, that
he had gone over to the Republican
marty and would stump the State IN the
interest of Taft, in consideration OF a
Federal iudgeship to be bestowed upon
him. That he has not changed his point
zeal faith and is not open to offers OF
the "loaves and fishes" of the RepubI-
can party, however tempting they
might be, no one will question now that
he has spoken. The charge was cruel
in the light of the record, Governor
Montague had made for himself as a
Democrat and ought to have been
ignored by the papers of the State, as
unworthy of belief and of their notice
The denial of Governor Montague IS
lust what was expected OF him ana as
follows:
81 will not take the stump for
the Republican nominee or party IL
Virginia or anywhere else. l intend to
vote for the Democratic nominees. NC
Federal judgeship or any other Federal
office has been offered or mentioned tc
me, and have not applied for, or dis

stories. They are unfounded. If had

or how much it was discussed, l would

Saturday, July 4, 1908.

In no year during the existence OF
the Produce Exchange has its influence
and mower for good been better shown
than during the present Irish potato
season The farmers, before any ship
ments were made, were advised by the
manager that the crop was snort
throughout the country and fair prices
MIGHT be expected, if discretion was
used by them in sending their crop to
market. In compliance with his instruc-
tons the crop for the most part was
held until ripe and there was no slump
in the market on that account. AT a
later date. as advised by him, when the
market was being overstocked and a
break in the prices was feared snip
ments were withheld by many OF the
farmers and the break was prevented
Still later in the season, when an at
tempt was made to lower the price OF
Irish potatoes by quotations made oelo"
their value in certain markets OF the
country the Exchange, through It's
manager, came to the rescue OF the
farmers and prevented the slump that
was attempted In every way,m TACT,
the Exchange has watched over ano
protected the interests Of the farmers
and everyone of them. even the out
s;ders have reason to be thankful tC
the organization for the good prices
and the prosperity it has brought u
them. and should show it in the future
by their hearty appreciation ans
earnest support. Can any farmer wh'
remembers the poverty that threatened
him before the Exchange was ORGANIZED
and contrasts it with the prosperity
which it has not only brought to hin
but to our people in every pursuit an'
occupation, longer withhold his supper
from it? If such good results have
been obtained, in spite Of the oppoSluol
of some of our farmers, can anyone 1al
to see what still greaterdegree otpros
perity awaits us by more united &c
tion.?

THE CONWAY CHAUTAUQUA
Saturday is the Last Day to Purchase
Cheap Season Tickets.

Saturday is the last day the
cheap "season tickets" for the
Chautauqua can be purchased.
Quite a number of Our citizens have
taken advantage of the low rates
and purchased their tickets.
We are glad to see that the Chau-
tauqua is going to be success and
we know that the high class enter
tainment given will be of lasting
benefit to Conway. Fort Smith
and Pine Bluff have the same at
fractions on their Chautauqua that
Conway has, with few extras, but
the feature attractions are the same
as Conway. Fort Smith is selling
their season tickets at S.. 90. We
hope, now that the Chautauqua
has been launched in Conway, that
it will become a permanent affair
for every year. The program for
the week will be as follows:

ty-one cantos, which runs entirely
through the book, setting forth IN
verse the merits of each class,
society, and club represented. The
song is from the pen of Mr.. l.. A.
Hodges.
The Board of Publication of the
Troubadour has labored constant
ly and long in their endeavor to
produce book that would outstrip
any other of the kind in Arkansas,
and they have succeeded even be-
yond their own expectation. The
volume surpasses all other ANNALS
of the state-the University Car
dinal" not excepted - and the
staff has every reason to be proud
of its work. The net cost of five
hundred volumes of the Trouba-
dour was over one thousand dol
lars, but, assisted by the adver-
tisements, the business staff have
been enabled to place them on sale
for one dollar and twenty-five
cents per copy. AS delightful
souvenir of Hendrix and Conway
the Troubadour is unexcelled, and
the people of the town owe it to
themselves, the town, the college,
and the students to patronize the
Annual. The course OF study OF
Hendrix has been raised this year
to equal that of Vanderbilt, Yale,
or Harvard and the 1908 edition of
the Troubadour shows that our
college can compete with the large
universities, not only IN the
strength OF it's curriculum but in
the realm of college journalism.

SIDEWALKS ARE BEING LAID
Front Street Owners Putting Down Walk
Not Required by Ordinance.


Active work of laying sidewalks
in this city was begun last week
and several car loads of material
have already been received by
con tractors for this class of work.
1t is thought that within a short
time all the walk required by the
city ordinances will have been
laid.
The property owners on the east
side OF Front street, from the cor
ner of North street to the Dunaway
property have let the contract for
seven-foot concrete walk and
curbing to replace the tagging
walk and curbing. This improve
ment was not one required by the
city ordinances.
On the west side of Front street
from the public square to Hen dirk
College, contracts have been let to
fill all of the gaps which were not
laid last year, as we'll as street
crossing at the entrance to the
Hendrix campus. All of this walk
will be finished in the next week
and will be ready for use during
Hendrix commencement. AS the
walk on this side is wider and
smoother than that on the opposite
side, it is probable that the new
walk will be more generally used.
Several of the owners required
to lay sidewalks by the ordinance
passed a few weeks ago have al
ready let contracts for the work.
