Taft Is working On His Letter of Ae-
 eepance.
 Hot Springs, Va. July 14.-From the present indications, William H. Taft's letter of acceptance will be judicial scoring of the Democratic platform adopted at Denver.
 All day yesterday and late into the evening. Mir. Taft's time was devoted to a study of the platforms of the two parties. When he has concluded his Iabors, he will not only be an authority on the work of the recent conventions, but on party platforms of the past. Mfr. Taft became so thoroughly interested fin his study of the records that he did not find time to dictate line of his speech of acceptance.
 Today after his usual morning game Of golf. he again delved Into records. He is securing the complete seclusion he desired, as there is not single par ty leader here to interrupt his work by requests for conference.
 Mir. Taft expects his speech of acc ceptance will be about 800 words in length. On account of It's brevity, fl will probably only contain reference to leading issues of the campaign, leaving subjects of less importance to be treated in his letter of accepance. which will contai nabout 15,000 words.
 Mir. Taft today announced his accept- ance of an invitation to address the Virginia Bar Association. which will be in session here the first week in August. Former United States Senator Lindsay of Kentucky will deliver the annual ada dress before that body.

 President Cleveland was one of the first to recognize the need of forest preservation and for the creation of the San Jacinto and other forest reserves with a total area of 25.65S, ,320 acres Whicn was one or the fesults oI his foresight in this direction. Throughout his life he took great interest in con. serving the natural resources of the Nation. and particularly regretted his inability to attend the meeting of the Governors in May because that meeting was in part the fruit of seed he had sown years before. x "The name of Grover Cleveland will always be prominently identified with 4l, s1ar.

 MILLER NOT A CANDIDATE He Wifi Not Make Con
 gressional Race. HENDERSON IS NOT IN 1T Nor Will Judge Parks Make
 Race. Raee in second District Seems to Have Assumed Deaaite shape With
 Four caadidates--Jenkins a
 Prospective Candidate for Honor.

Notable announcements by prospec- tive candidates for the Democratic nom- lnation for the office of Representative from the Second District to the Ma tional Congress followed the results of the meeting of the District Executive Committee yesterday.
 J. N. Miller stated last night that he would not be candidate for either the short or the long term; W. A. Hem derson, the Chairman of the Commit tee. said that he would not be can- didate, and S. c. Jenkins of Baldwin, intimated that on account of the rul- ing in favor of a plurality instead of a majority vote he would not be candi- date. MT. Jenkins has not withdrawn, however, and is yet considering the proposition.
 The field, with those men withdrawn. would be open to. S. H. Dent, Jr., of Montgomery, Thomas J. Hall of Mont- gomery. w. H. Sanford of Pike and c. R. Bricken of Crenshaw.
 Thomas H Clark and O. c. Wiley are expected to run for the short term.
 Mir. Miller's announcement that he would not be a candidate was perhaps the most important feature of the days proceeding as viewed from the run ming" view. He had been regarded as a probable candidate and until yester- day 1t was believed that he would run. He declined. though. and his with drawal may lead some one else into the race.
 Mir. Jenkins said last night that if the committee had decided otherwise he would have been a candidate but that in present circumstances he would consider the matter further before he committed himself.
 Following is copy of Mir. Miller's statement:
 Mr. Miller of Camden for some time q prospective candidate for Congress in the Second District, has determined not to enter the race. The number of candidates from the counties of large voting population make the contest un- certain for candidates from the coun- ties of small voting population. on plu- rality vote. MT. Miller does not wish to keep his friends waiting longer and this early in the race makes this an- nouncement that they may make other aiignments. He desires to express to all the friends who have so earnestly and generously manifested their sup port. his sincere thanks and feels a large degree of satisfaction in having been encouraged by so many. He cannot gain hls fuIf consent to make ths investment of time and expense In view of the odds against candidates from small voting counties with so many in the race In single primary from the large counties.
