Mr.. WILSON AND THE SOUTH.

A large number of people IN
the South are interested in the
appointment of the next secre-
tary of agriculture in MIR. Tafts
cabinet. The South is still an
agricultural country, and offers
q broad field for extensive i'm
provements in a way of intelli-
gent farming. There is NO doubt
that the department. of agricnl-
ture at Washington can be of
great service to the agricultural
intests of the South. The pres
ent secretary of agriculture has
shown much interest in the
South. He has done a great deal
to stimulate certain lines of farm
ing in this section and many Of
the Southern farmers look upon
him as their friend.
Mr.. Wilson has proved himself
a capable and efficient man. He
has the advantage, of years of ex-
perience. and is regarded as an
exceptionally capable man IN
that position. No doubt he will
be president Taft's choice, and
his re.apDOintment would b q
most acceptable to very large
number OF people among whom
Mr.. Wilson is popular. Birming

We are of the opinion that the

Several members of the corps
Of engineers who ran the line
some time since from Reform, in
Choctaw county. to Columbus,
and from there in the direction
of Birmingham, an objective
point, returned here last Friday
and put in portion OF that day
and Saturday in going over the
the several routes in and out of
the town as heretofore stated.
They returned here Wednesday
from Reform and will continue
on Columbus from here. We
presume they are taking more
minute and detailed topography
Of the country through which
the line has been surveyed.
Three gentlemen here proceeded
with the party in Alabama as
far as Reform. the country
from there east is very hilly and
mountainous and progress neces
sarily very slow. It will take
time before the general public
will be taken into the confidence
of those in authority. Somehow
we foel that Starkville and Ok
tibbeha county will have another
railroad, and that within the
next twelve months, from here

leave no stone untouched or un-
turned to keep our readers and

ASHLAND FLOUR MILL TO START.
Plant Has Been Idle for About One
Year

For the first time since the mill was
shut down about a year ago, steam
was gotten up in the flour mill of the
Northern Milling company at Ashland
last week, and four carloads of wheat
were elevated to the storage bins Of
the mill in the top of the building.
Each carload contained 1,400 bushels
of wheat, so the amount now stored
amounts to $500 bushels in all.
A couple of more carloads are on
the way, and when they arrive, in a
short time, the storage capacity Of
the mill will be taxed to it's limit. Sew
eral more carloads of wheat have
been ordered, but will not be received
until the mill gets to running, thus re-
leasing some of the storage room now
filled
The mill will start grinding on Ash
land -four the first part of the week.
and when it once gets to going it will
be a steady night and day grind the
year round. The repairs and altera-
lions that have been made on the mill
have been extensive and have taken
some considerable time, but are now
about complete, and the mill is now
one of the best, if not the best, small
Touring mills in the country.

The State Day by Day
UNITE ALL CIVIC BODIES.
La Crosse Board of Trade Has Plan
for Effective "Boostinu."

La Crosse Board of Trade Has Plan
for Effective "Boosting."
A plan to make the La Crosse board
Of trade a central body for all the
civic organizations in La Crosse is
now being agitated, and at meeting
of the directors of the board it was
decided to canvass officials of all So
cieties with a view to bringing the
plan to a climax
For some years the La Crosse board
of trade has grown less and less eff
fective as civic promotion organiza-
alton, until at present it is practically
impossible to procure quorum. This,
it has been concluded, is due to the
fact that other organizations of bust
ness men have come to take the place
of the larger body until the CONNER
cial needs of the city are taken care
Of by these smaller societies.
Resigning as president of the board
OF trade, William Doerflinger outlined
the scheme for the reorganization of
the board on the broader basis, and
the proposition is being looked upon
with favor. The present board has
several hundred members, but has
been decidedly inactive The new
scheme proposes that each subsidiary
society shall elect two delegates to
the central body, and these delegates
will comprise the board of trade, the
other societies maintaining their sep
arate organizations.

WILL INSTRUCT
FOR GOV. JOHNSON
Friends of Governor Claim Over
500 Delegates in State
Convention.
BRYAN MEN WILL WALK OUT

st. Paul, May II. - The Minnesota
Democratic state convention to elect
delegates to the national convention
will assemble in st. Paul next Thurs
day, May ID, and instruct the Mime
sofa delegation to cast twenty-five
votes in the Denver gathering for the
nomination of Gov. John A. Johnson
of this state for the presidency.
Approximately 400 Bryan men, who
have been elected to the state conven-
ton or who are contesting the seat
ing of Johnson delegates, will walk
out of the convention hall as soon as
the regular convention seats the John
-Son delegates from the contested dis
tricts and hold a boiling convention,
which will elect a solid Bryan delega-
ton to the Denver convention.
Hints of Compromise.
At least this is the announced plan
of the Bryan leaders, and though
there have been hints Of a compro-
mise whereby the Bryan men would
consent to the Endorsement of John
son as first choice and of Bryan as
second choice, yet S. A. Stockwell of
Minneapolis, who is recognized as one
Of the Bryan leaders, said yesterday
afternoon that he believed the war
has been carried too far for cOmpro-
mise
The regular state convention will
have 935 delegates. Of these the
Johnson men claim to have elected
more than 500 at the county conven-
tions held Saturday, and they concede
the Bryan men less than 100.
Admit Some Contests.
The Johnson men admit that con-
tests will be entered from four coun-
ties, with a total of thirty-five votes,
and scott at the threats of the Bryan
men to contest Hennepin county, with
III votes; Ramsey county, with &c
votes, and st. Louis county, with 20
votes.
This is just a scheme" said Frank
A. Day, chairman of the state COM
mittee and secretary to the governor.
"The contests are not worthy of seri-
Gus consideration. Less than forty
men in Ramsey county held conven-
ton and elected sixty-six Bryan dele
gates to the state convention.
"The Waseca county convention
contained forty-seven delegates for
. Johnson and nineteen delegates for
Bryan, and yet a contest is entered
from that county. The Hennepin
convention was overwhelmingly in
our favor. Duluth, st. Louis county,
which was considered a Bryan strong
hold, elected an uncontested Johnson
delegation
The Bryan Side.
On the other hand S. A. Stockwell
of Minneapolis said that the contest
from Hennepin county would be en-
tered because the credentials commit
tee in the county convention seated
Johnson men from three precincts,
though the evidence was conclusive
that the Bryan men were defeated by
Republican votes.

similar condition prevailed in many
other precincts. Democrats were out
voted at the primaries by Johnson Re-
publicans. The st. Louis county dele
cation will be contested"
