HEMENWAY GOES TO TAFT.
Selection of Chairman, Perhaps New,
to Be Discussed.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. July 4.-United
States Senator Hemenway left this city
yesterday in response to telegram from
William H. Taft asking him TO meet Mr.
Taft az Hot Springs, Va. for a conference
in relation to the selection of a chairman
of the national republican committee.
1t is rumored here today that Taft is
considering Harry S. New for the place.
Politicians who took this view said that
although the friends OF Vice President
Fairbanks have no feeling against Taft
on account of the methods used at Chi
cago in deciding contests, the decisions
in those cases had made bad impression
throughout The state. and II was plainly
the purpose of the democrats to hold
Fairbanks a martyr and thus try to
create prejudice against Taft
The selection of Mr. New, these politi-
clans said. would help to cOunteract such
maneuvering.

ative Sherman has abandoned his proposed
trip to Hot Springs. Va. to join in

warned him that it would be hazardous
for him to make the journey in his weak
ened state and he has reluctantly agreed
to stay at home.
Mr.. Sherman is still living on milk and
vichy hence it is impossible for him to
recover his normal strength. but the
doctors believe that by giving his digestive

GRAY AND BRYAN SUGGESTED
SUPPORTERS OF DELAWARE
JUDGE URGE THIS TICKET.
Open Letter Addressed to All Dele
gates Gives Reason for Such
a Combination.

DENVER, Col, July 4.-Josiah Marvel
ana Richard J. Beamish, the campaign
mana gers for George Gray OF Delaware.
today mailed an open letter to all dele
gates TO the convention urging the noml-
nation of Judge Gray for President and
William ]. Bryan for Vice President. The
letter, after a few words of preamble,
continues as follows:
You have heard from Mr.. Bryan's S
closest friends forceful arguments for a
ticket reading Bryan and Gray. Let US
place before your mind reversal of
that combination.
Il. is argued by Mr.. Bryan's friends
that George Gray's candidacy for the
vice presidency would bring to the party
a large proportion of the Independent and
the heretofore lukewarm democratic vote
in doubtful eastern states. To this as
ser,ion we make the amendment that
George Gray for the presidency would
mean the whole Of that vote and would
make certain q democratic victory In
those states.
Certain of Success"
Gray and Bryan will insure the cleo
toral votes of New York, New Jersey
Delaware. Connecticut, West Virginia
Maryland Indiana and Oklahoma. for the
democracy and will bring into the party
fold Nebra ska. Illinois. Colorado and other
western states. 1t is the one combination
that is absolutely certain of success.
This success will give to Mr.. Bryan
an opportunity to sit in the councils and
| to participate in the administrative func-
tions of the national government. 1t will
serve as a test for him and his ideas and
will familiarize the people OF this nation
with his ability as an executive.
1T will make him the undisputed head
| of the party four years hence and will
insure his election for President at tina,
| time.
| 1T will preserve the party from the
| factionalism that has rent it in recen,
years and will make it the dominant force
| in this country for more than a genera
| ton.
I'VE ask your cooperation in this move
ment not only for the good that will come
therefrOm to our party and to our coun-
| try, but also for the good that will come
! fror, it for Mr.. Bryan"
The Gray forces were reinforced tOnigh,
| by the arrival of their nome delegation
from Delaware, including l.. Irving
Handy the eX-representative. who will
place the name of Judge Gray in nomi-
nation for the presidency. The Della
wara contingent were unanimous in de
| cIaring that Judge Gray would be urged
| for the presidency and nothing else.

Too Rank For a MugWump.

Being asked the other day what
he thought of the fight between
Adams and Butler, ex-Congress-
man Blackburn, who hates them
both, replied in the language of
the late W. G. Miller, of States
Vile, when he heard of fight be-
tween two men whom he disliked {:
he had mo ruthers." Continu-
ing Mr.. Blackburn said that he
would not attend the Republican
State convention, as sit is about
all a self-respectlng Republican
in North Carolina can do is to
vote the ticket with out desiring
any closer afiliation with the
present leaders of the party in
this State" Certainly the Re.
publican leaders in this State
must be getting pretty rank if
they're too strong for Mr.. Black.

Tore Up the will.

Capt. R. A. L. Hyatt, clerk of
the court here, told your corre-
sondent the other day of an old
will that he has in the office here.
1t is dated in 1917 and is torn
into many pieces, but the pieces
are sewed towed together so that
the paper can read easily, The
will was not probated until within
the last few months.
There is little story connected
with this document that is little
romantic. The testator, Edward
Hyatt, was one OF the earliest set
tiers Of this county. While being
pious man himself he had one
boy that was wild and reckless.
When the old man made his will
he cut the wild boy off from a
great deal of his patrimony and
gave most of his property to
others that suited him better.
After the death of the old man
the will was read in the presence
of the children and friends. The
wild young man asked to see the
will. 1t was handed him, and,
IN passion he tore it into pieces
and threw them upon the floor.
A negro slave afterwards collected
the pieces and they were sewed
together; and that is the way the
will appears now. It is we'll pre-
served with that exception

Observer.

The NuptiaIs of Jim and Bet.

In Sumner county, Tennessee,
lives an Irish magistrate, man
of liberal education and full
quota of that mother wit for which
his people are noted. A short
time ago negro pair named Jim
and Bet called upon the Squire
to be united, "for better or
worse,' probably the latter.
Having had some notice of
their coming, he prepared and
and actually used this unique
ceremony:
Jim, will you take Bet,
Without any regret
To love and to cherish
Till one of you perish
And is laid under the sod,
So help you God?
Jim, having given the affirma-
tive answer, the Squire turned to
Bet:
Bet, will you take Jim
And cling to him,
Both out and in
Through thick and thin
Holding him to your heart
Till death do part?
Bet modestly acquiesoed, and
the newly married couple we're
dismissed with this topper over
ALL"
Through life's alternate joy and
strife,
I now pronounce you man and
wife.
Go up life's hill till you get to the
level,
And salute your bride, you dusky
devil,
