FIunt Man Occur.

ton. With the adoption of the reso-
buttons the convention adjourned.
Fight May Occur.
The possibility of a revolt by dele
gates out of sympathy with Bryan s
control of the Democratic national
convention against the parliamentary
practices employed by officers of the
convention today, in sending the Penn
Sylvania controversy to the committee
on credentials, is the one hope of the
allied opposition to BTyan's nOmina-
ton
This opposition is proceeding on the
belief that the committee on creden-
tialS will report against the contest
ing delegates from Pennsylvania, and
in favor of Col. Guffey, national com
mitteeman, in which event a minpri-
" report will be made.
The first test of the anti-Bryan
strength will occur, therefore, over
the adoption of the report of the com
mittee on credentials, and it promises
to be the bitterest of the convention.
Should it be decided against the Bry-
an men, unquestionably it would en-
courage the oppOs ton to Bryan TO
renewed efforts to defeat him
1t is conceded that if Col Guffey is
defeated, which will be the result of
seating anti-Guffey men from Penn
sylvania, that would be the end of all
opposition to Bryan, as all the fight
ing spirit would be taken out of the
anti-BTyan men,
The credentials committee met at
; o'clock and five states and the Dis
trict of Columbia gave notice of con-
tests. When the committee had been
in session three hours, the Idaho con-
test, involving the entire state dele
cation with fourteen totes, was still
under consideration with prospects OF
its lasting all night.
The PIatf'rn,s
Immediately after being called to
order at $50 O'cIocI the platform
committee of the Democratic National
convention proceeded to carry out the
wishes of Bryan by decting Governor
Charles y. Haskell, If Oklahoma, as
permanent chairman. The commit
tee then decided to eTITust the details
of the preparation of the platform to
a subcommittee of seen members TO

Opening of
The Convention.

The Democratic national conven-
ton was formally opened at noon
yesterday, with over one thousand
delegates present, representing the
Democratic voters of the United
States and its territorial possessions
There is grave business to be at
tended by this body of men. In the
majority of instances the great mass
of voters have voiced their selection
of candidate for president, and by
that endorsement have also endors-
ed the policies for which the man of
their choice stands. 1t is probable
therefore, that those principles for
which the man chosen by the mass OF
Democrats as their nominee, will be
embodied In the platform to be drawn
up and presented to the voters at
large for their consideration on No
vember 3, of this year
The Democrats of the country are
satisfied with the platform that is
contemplated, for they have chosen
as their standard bearer, William
Jennings Bryan, and it is the princi-
pies for which Mr.. Bryan has fought
that stand synonymous with the Dem
ocracy of the day. 1t is now a ques-
ton of so presenting those views to
the voter at large that they will con-
vince hi i'm that Democracy stands for
better government by the people and
for the people, and that the election
of men to carry out these policies
viii turn aside the impulse of the ma
ton to give to the privileged class
more privileges and to increase the
holdings of the ''too rich," and will re-
turn to the people the benefits that
were theirs.
There is also a vice-president to be
chosen, the Office of which, by reason
of the firm grasp of Republican ma
chinery during McKinleys first ad-
ministration and Immediately follow
ing Roosevelt's accession to the pres
idency, by the latter's imperious rule,
has become apparently of small mo-
ment in the government of the coun-
try. This should not be. Regardless
of the possibility of succession to the
chief executives chair, there is work,
and earnest work to be accomplished
by the second officer of the shin of
state. And, in the choice of a candi-
date for this position the convention
should carefully consider each and
every announced candidate, for the po-
sition, and if no likely man has vet
announced, it should look beyond the
convention hall walls and after find
ing the man. should call upon him to
serve his people.
There is little doubt but that the
selection of a vice-presidential nomi-
nee and a suitable platform, made by
| the convention now in session, will
/ be satisfactory, that it will draw
new recruits into the party, and if
! this be done, the Democrats viii re-
cord a sweeping victory on the morn
| ing of November 4, 1908.

VETS MUST PAY 5000
TO SELL THE NEAR
Bride is Not Entirely
Pulled Off.

While in Americas no free license
to sell near beer has as yet been
sought by veterans it is quite GER
tain that not few would have ap-
piled for such license but for the
later ruling of Attorney-General Hart
upon the question now at issue.
Under this ruling the vets who
would vend beer must pay the state
tax of 5000 although they are not
required to pay city license
In Americus the city tax is $50 a
year, and this the vet sidesteps under
the recent ruling of the court of APP
peals.
Following the decision by the court
of appeals, which held that a Con-
federate evteran's license privilege
from the state exempts from local
taxes imposed upon dealers in near
beer, the question was raised wheth
er it exempted from the state tax.
The comptroller and the attorney
general held that it did not

IMMENSE CROWDS
BFSIEGE ANSLEY'S
Opening of Sale UOpreCe-
dented Success.

Attracted by the announcement of
the Inauguration of a sale of high
class dry goods and mems fine cloth
ing at Chas. l.. Ansley's throng of
eager buyerc surged in yesterday
morning even before the doors were
ready to be opened and insisted on be-
ing served at once
The store in a few minutes was fill
ed to Overlooking by those who came
prepared to avail themselves of the
wonderful reductions advertised in the
various classes of merchandise. At
times the crowd was so dense that
the management regretted that they
did not have the doors closed so that
those who were already in could be
served more satisfactorily.
Though quite a crowd of extra help
was employed probably fifty per cent
of those who came were unable to re-
ceive attention. Throughout the day
the store was filled with buyers anx-
ious To purchase.
In speaking Of the first day of the
sale Mr. Ansley said last night:
Il can truthfully say that the open
ing day of the sale far surpassed our
most sanguine expectations. The only
drawback was that we did not have
one-fourth enough help and for that
reason many We're forced to go with

help will be on hand today and we
hope TO wait on everybody with reas-

Many customers today were good
enough to wait upon themselves and
carry their goods and cash to the
cashier"

day to day until the stock is disposed

DANGER IN ICE FAMINE
NO LONGER TO EXIST
Factories in AmeriCuS Will
Supply Needs.

Americus will not be confronted
with an ice famine at the beginning
Of another summer, as was the case
during great portion of the season
just ended when Macon "graciously'
supplied our needs while two factor
les here remained shut down During
the early summer both plants finally
got under headway and are still run
ming, and arrangements will doubt
less be perfected whereby one of
the two mills will continue opera
tions through the winter, and thus
keep on sale an abundant supply of
ice. On account of shortage in wa
ter supply, and other unavoidable de-
lays, the plant of the Crystal Ice Co.,
was late in starting operations, but
the plant is now in splendid physical
condition. and the company has since
bored an artesian we'll which affords
abundant water supply. Mr. w. T.
Maynard, who is interested therein
has recently closed out his furniture
business here in order to devote his
entire time to the ice factory, and
under his skilled management the
plant will afford an abundant ice
supply hereafter.
