As we go to press the work OF the
National convention at Denver has
not completed itswork but enough has
been accomplished to convince every
body that it has probably been the
greatest of all conventions ever held
in the county.
The opposition to the Peerless Ne
braskan made a showing that was
xept up for short while and then dis
appeared before the sweeping flood Of
Bryan sentiment.
The demonstration at Chicago con-
vention, said 10 have been a record

Two Tickets
REPUBLICAN STATE CONVENTION
SPLIT

SPLIT
The Republican State Convention in
session at Charleston this week has
split and there is now two tickets In
the field.
When the regular convention met
the Scherr people were ruthlessly
steam rollered until there were clear
majority for 5wisher and the Scherr-
ties would not Stand it and left the
hall. They met on Wednesday in the
court house, organized and nominated
a full ticket as follows:
Governor, A G. Scheer, Of Mineral
county.
Secretary of state, John L. Harris, o.
w God county.
Superintendent of schools, Thomas
{. Miller, of Marion present incum-
bent.)
Auditor, James X. Hall, Of Ohio.
Treasurer, g. n. Snodgfars, Of Brax-
ton.
Attorney general A. 5. Staliags, of
Of fucker
Great enthusiasm prevailed the con-
vention being especially moved by a
speech by former Congressman Rome
II. Freer, of Ritchey county.
A state executive committe was
chosen and plans for general cam
paign were promulgated. The leaders
In this movement declared themselves
to be thoroughly 10 interest, and tears
rolled down many grizzled cheeks as
old time Republicans contemplated
that they were tearing themselves from
life time associations, simply because
they believed the good of the State and
and the life Of their party demanded
it.
The Swisher convention met later
and nominated full ticket with CIV.
Swisher at the head for governor.
The result is that the republicans
have two tIcdets IN the field and just
how the matter will be settled is one TO
be conjectured.

Holding and Selling.

Every interest in our fair Southland is vitally concerned with the cotton growers in se- curing a fair remuneration for their labor and for their invest ed capital. The prosperity of ev- i cry one in the cotton growing states is measured almost direct ly by the prosperity of the farm CT. and therefore we feel no hesi- tancy in calling upon the business and professional men of the coun- try to cooperate in every pos sible manner with the producers of cotton in securing price that will give profitable remunera- tion for the cotton crop. To this end we ask for the assistance Of every man in whatever business engaged in successfully carrying out the recommendations of this committee as to marketing cot ton. We most earnestly recom- mend to the cotton growers of this country and would like to have the recommendat tion under stood as applying individu ally to every person who grows cotton that so far as may be possible .n each individual case, none of the crop of 1908 still in the owner- ship. of the producer be sod be- low the meat and bread line of 10 cents per pound for, short

 We urge that after the markets shall reach this pricel the cotton growers shall sell the product slowly so as to prevent selling in excess of onestenth per month of the remaining crop of 1908. We urge that In future all cotton growers avoid. as far as they can incurring indebtedness to be paid at time of gathering their crops norder that they may be better able to hold their products for a fair price, and that, where farm CTS do not have obliga tions that must be met though a fair price may be secured that will more

This can only be brought about by scientific study of the soil and practical rotation of the crops, resulting from proper di- Nersification We urge that in cv- cry county and precinct concert ed efforts be put forth to induce every farmer to plant enough Of his lands to other crops to at least make enough of the things that can be grown on the land to supply the people of their com munities as well as, themselves with what they need, and we further urge farmers to closely study and apply to their own kHOllt luS cAptl IhutulS iiduC uS the national and various state governments in successfully culti- vating other crops than cotton.

Delegates From Many Orders
Attend Conference Called
by GOmpers
WILL CONSIDER FORMING
NEW POLITICAL PARTY

BY United Press Leased Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, March 1s-rwo
hundred and fifty delegates, represent.
ing every international and national
labor union. together with a large
number from the unafhliated railway
organizations, convened here TO-DAY
for what Is undoubtedly the most
significant meeting in the history OF
the labor movement officials OF tie
brotherhood Of Locomotive Firemen
and Engineers and also of the Train
men, Conductors and Switchmen, al
though not connected with the Ameri
can Federation of Labor are by special
request Of President Gompers in at
tendance. It is the first time that a
meeting Of this kind has been held by
authority Of the executive council of
the federation.
The delegates were called to order
shortly after 10 o'clock IN the assembly
hall at the Federation's headquarters
by President Gompers, who opened the
meeting by reading the formal invita-
ton, under which they had come to-
gether and which was issued by him
on March 7.
AS stated in the invitation. the con-
ference is to consult and take action
with reference to the adverse decision
of the Supreme Court, particularly the
one rendered in the Danbury Hatters'
case, which holds labor unions amen
able to the Sherman antitrust.
In his opening address, President
Gompers dwet upon the vital import
ance Of the subject ana the unsettled
condition in the labor world as a re-
suit OF the decisions. He advised that
the members of the conference deliber-
atecarefully and seriously in order to
formulate such n line OF action as will
not only set forth clearly and unn.is-
takably the position and demands Of
labor but which Will be the means OF
obtaining the desired results from the
national law-making body.
1t is known that a large number Of
delegates favor the establishment OF an
Independent political party President
Gompers personally is averse to adopt
ing such a policy, but il is believed that
should the conference decide that this
is the best means of enforcing labor's
demands, the American Federation OF
Labor win join officially in the move-
ment.
The sessions Of the conference will
be held behind closed doors, a COM
mittee being appointed to give out any
desired information.

that you will live longer than if you

that the Bulgarians live longer than

present time close to 1000 men and wo-
men IN that country who are CEN
tenarians, one inhabitant in every
1000 having achieved the century mark
The astounding longevity Of this race

pie live chiefly on milk. It is by no
means uncommon for them to drink
milk even after IL has become sour and
many have been known to thrive on

should be given the hair, but the
principal one is washing, and unless

A rather stiff bath brush helps to

W 0 MAN KIND
THE WIFE IN THE SHADOW

One OF the most pathetic spectacles
in American life is that of the faded.
outgrown wife standing helpless in the
shadow Of her husbands prosperity
and power. having sacrificed her
youth, beauty, and ambiton-nearly
everything the feminine mind holds
dear-to enable an Indifferent, selfish
british husband to get start in the
world.
It does not matter that she burned
up much of her attractiveness over the
cooking stove: that she lost more OF IL
at the washtub, and in scrubbing ana
cleaning, and in rearing and caring Tor
their children during the slavery OF her
early married life. in her unselnsh et-
fort to help him get on in the world.
II does not matter how much she sur
fered during those terrible years OF
poverty and privation; just as soon os
the selfish husband begins TO get pros
porous, finds that he is getting on IN
the world. feels his power, he often
begins TO be ashamed Of the woman
who has sacrificed everything to make
his success possible.
It does not matter that the wlie
sacrificed her own opportunity for
career, that she gave up her most
cherished ambitions IN order to make
a ladder for her husband to ascend by
When he has once gotten to the top
like q willy diplomatic politician, he
often kicks the ladder down. He
wants to make a show in the world;
he thinks only Of himself. His poor
faded, worn-out wife. standing in his
shadow. is not attractive enough cor
him now that he has gotten up in tho
world.
Many American wives look with hor-
ror upon the increasing fortunes of
their husbands, which their sacrifices
have helped to accumulate, simply be-
cause they fear that their stopped
forms, gray hairs, calloused hands, and
loss of comeliness which slipped from
them while they were helping their
husbands to get a start, are likely to
deprive them of the very paradise Of
home and comforts which they have
dreamed Of from their wedding day.
They know that their hard work and
sacrifices and long hours and suffer-
ings in bringing up a family are likely
to ruin their prospects and that they
may even drive them out Of the Eden
OF their dreams.-Orison SWEET Mar

school yesterday to celebrate st. Pat

ton would be about as good a place as
anywhere to come for that purpose, so
they jumped a freight train and came
here. They were arrested in the Edge

station.

lice received a telegram from the Rev.
II. T. Conway, of the faculty Of the
college. stating that the boys would be

to enjoy the position they were in.
