FOES OF RUN MEET.
Annual Convention Of Prohibition
Party Convened.


Columbus, O., July 15.-With over
1900 delegates present, many anti
saloon leaders occupying places of
honor on the platform and the gal
leries filled with alternates and Wis
itors. the prohibition party's national
convention was formally opened this
morning. The assemblage is by all
odds the most enthusiastic in the his
tory of the party Since the last con-
vention several states, including
Georgia, Alabama Mississippi, North
Carolina and oklahoma, have joined
the prohibition ranks, and the dele
cations from those states were given
a great ovation. In the number of
delegates, Illinois heads the list with
178, with Pennsylvania close Sec
ond. The latter state, however, with
New York and New Jersey, are ad-
mitted to be the most hopeless in the
union, from a prohibition standpoint.
Representation In the convention
gives each state and territory four
delegates at large and an additional
delegate for every 200 votes cast for
DR.. Sllas C. Swallow for president In
1904.
II is declared by the party leaders
that the prohibitionists will cast
nearly a million votes at the coming
election. In 1904 Swallow received
only 25S,205, but 1t is alleged that
prohibition sentiment has increased
by leaps and bounds since that time.
The failure Of Tennessee democrats
to nominate Senator Carmack, who
ran on prohibition platform for gov.
ernor Of that state, and the defeat
of Hoke Smith In Georgia, are declar-
ed to be temporary reverses.
Apparently no definite decision has
yet been reached in regard to the
presidential nomination. The contest
for the honor is a spirited but good
natured one. Seaborn Wright of
Georgia, has a healthy boom which
promises fair chances of securing for
him the coveted nomination. Among
others actively In the race are F. f.
Wheeler OF California; Alfred Man
ierre OF New York; w. B. Pelmore Of
Missouri; s. A. Artman OF Indiana,
and ]. B. Cranflll of Texas.
The platform will be little changed
from recent years and will demand
the complete wiping out Of the liquor
business.
TIL pphibitlonists will carry on the
most active campaign in years and
will have abundant funds for that
purpose. Maine will be storm CEN
ter during the campaign. owing to
the attempt to secure resubmisslon of
the prohibition amendment to the
constitution.

While the treasurer's balance sheet

There is some complaint by citizens
because the commissioners ordered all
work on the roads stopped until further
orders. In the foregoing, we have en-
deavored to give the exact condition of
the countys finances at the present

commissioners for any errors they may
have committed, but wholly for the
purpose of moving the conditions I'M

ing.
The commissioners believe in good
roads and have done all in their power
to meet the growing needs of the
country in this respect. They are not
to blame for the conditions that have
made it necessary for them to stop work
on the roads for the remainder of the
