THE JEFFERSONIAN.

00Ph W. DIoWl, wien pIdCeQ III nomination
by Judge H. D. D. Twiggs of Chatham, which
ovation lasted five minutes, while delegates
rose in their seats and ladies futtered their
handkerchiefs
Not voice was raised in debate, not a dis
sentlng vote was recorded, and the session
was the shortest ever held by state conven-
ton, lasting by the clock, three hours and ten
minutes.
Following the nomination Of Mr. Brown
came the selection Of the 'big four''-Hon.
Albert M. Cox, Of Fulton; Hon. Peter W. Mel
drim, Of Chatham; Hon. Thomas W. Loyless.
of Richmond, and Hon w. S. West, of
Lowndes. These were named without opposi-
ton, were Hon. E. 7. Williams, Of Fulton,
and Hon. F. H. Saffold, of Emanuel elected
presidential electors from the state at large.
The other twenty-five delegates to the ma
tional Convention, nominated by district eau
cuses, were adopted by the convention,
without debate, as fast as their names we're
called out
In the same manner the aternates, the
presidential electors and the state executive
committee were made up
The Platform Reported
greatest dispatch and the convention found
itself ready for the state platform almost be-
fore it was realized.
The "one-man- convention moved with
clockllke precision, and the proceedings we're
carried along with the utmost haste When
the chairman announced, "Chairman j. R.
Smith, Of the platform committee is ready
to report there came an instant hush, for
the delegates realized that the legislative pro-
gram for the next two years at least was
about to be promulgated.
1t was handed to Hon. D. F. McCIatchev,
OF Marietta, the popular reading clerk of the
house of representatives, who, III stentorian
tones, told Georgia new program to the fur
thest ends of the house
The preamble was listened to with intense
interest, but it was not until the plank was
reached declaring in favor of return to the
county unit system Of nominations that the
gale of applause swept the house
Following this came the other strong declar-
ations in the platform. The convention went
on record as favoring the return to payment
of pensions to confederate veterans in lump
sum.
There was a plank calling for the state
primaries not to be held before August each
year.
The platform declares against sinecures;
favors a contraction Of the railroad commits
sion to it's former number, three, and the
abolition of the special office of counsel to the
railroad commission

county, ''Litte Joe,'' was yesterday at noon
nominated by rising and unanimous vote of
1900 delegates to the state convention to be
the democratic candidate for governor at the
coming state election in October
For fully three minutes the delegates stood,
waved their banners futtered their handlzer-
chiefs, shouted for their candidate and
beat the backs and seats of The chairs
which packed the Grand from the back
OF the stage to the topmost gallery.
1t was fitting climax for the most spectac-
ular convention ever assembled in a southern
state, where every delegate was for the same
candidate where no other nomination was
made, and when the chairman put the con
verse OF the nominating proposition:
''All those opposed-,' there was not
sound
The vast assemblage, which was reckoned at
from $500 to $780, remained absolutely quiet,
though listening to see if there could pos
sibly be any opposition.
AS his nomination was unanimous, so was
all the other business of the convention
An Uninstructed Delegation.
The delegates to attend the national con-
vention at Denver in July were presented to
the state convention by districts without in
structions, and elected by the convention as an
uninstructed delegation
This action was in sharp contrast to the
convention of four years ago, when the dele
cation went to St. Louis, instructed for Alton
B. Parker
The delegates will have free rein to cast
their votes as they consider to the best inter
est Of the party.
Another striking feature of the convention
was the cordial reception accorded former
Chairman A. L. Miller Of Macon, who, by
virtue of his office, was authorized to call the
convention to order He was cheered as he
appeared upon the stage, and given the keen
est attention while he put his motions.
When Hon. c.. r. Pendleton, of Bibb had
B. M. Blackburn, Of Fulton, had been made
temporary secretary, former Chairman M. j.
Yeomans, of Dawson, who called the Macon
convention to order, offered a resolution Of
thanks for the convention This was adopted
unanimously
Ovation for Terrell.
1t was after Hon. Hewlett A. Hail. of Cow
eta, was elected permanent chairman and
Hon. B. M. Blackburn had been made perma-
ment secretary, and both had made stirring
speeches, that the spontaneous call was sent
up for former Governor Joseph M. Terrell.

0rlOie to be Restored

After nearly nine months OF spas
modic effort on the part of the people
living along the Southern Pacific, be-.
tween Lafayette and Houston, and OF
hesitation on the part of the Officials
of the road it appears as though the
muchly needed Oriole is about to be
re-established. Runners have been a.
float for several days to this affect,
although no authentic information was
received here relating to the matter
until Tuesday morning when, Mr..
George, the agent here received the
following telegram from Gen. Passen-
ger Agent F. E. Battures.
Oriole will be placed in service
Sunday November %, on practically
the same schedule as before.
The Oriole is without a doubt the
most valuable to local traffic in this
section of any train that is run over
the road, as it furnishes a convenient
means of reaching the parish seat and
transacting business and returning
the same day. 1t is greatly to be
hoped that this train may be kept on
permanently, and to this end We woulo
suggest that as much OF the local
| patronage as possible be given to this
train. furthermore in this line We
would call attention to the fact tina
messengers on the Oriole should pur
chase their tickets before boarding
the train so that the agents return:
from this place would show mor'
correctly the amount of business oeins
done at this point.

LOUISIANA RICE PLANTERS ORGANIZE
Secretary Groves of Texas Association
Assists in Organization.
Crowd and Great Enthusiasm.
Welsh, La Nov. IL. 1908.

A movement of the utmost import
ance to the planters of the rice belt,
was launched here this afternoon,
when the Louisiana Rice Growers
Association was organized. A few OF
the leading planters of this section
have been working toward the per-
fecting of this organization for some
time, but it remained for Mr.. Eduard
Scharff to make the final arrange
ments whereby Mr.. A. E. Groves,
Secretary of the Texas Rice Growers
Association, was enabled to come ov-
er and assist in the organization OF
the association.
Although the meeting had been in
sufficiently advertised, yet at the hour
set for converting, the city hall was
filled with an enthusiastic body of
planters, who greeted the speaker,
Mr.. Groves, with hearty applause.
The speaker said that the Texas
association had long desired the time
to come when the planters OF Louis
lana would join the planters OF Texas
in the protection of the rice industry.
He then followed with brief account
of the organization and work OF the
| Texas association. He showed, most
conclusively, that it had been and
would continue to be benefit to the
planters of the state: that through the
work of the association, the planters
were enabled to keep in close touch,
not only with the market, but with the
general conditions throughout the
rice belt. He further stated that
through the association, a central
market had been esta blished by means
of which uniform price on rice
could be maintained; that any farmer
could send his samples to the ex change
and get bids on it without any cost,
unless he sold through the exchange,
in which case commission OF five
cents a sack was charged. He also
touched upon the danger that now
confronts the rice industry in this
country, in the attitude of the next
administration, on the question OF
admitting Philippine rice duty free,
and asserted that it would be only
) through united and organized effort
that this and similar dangers could
be averted.
; After further presentation OF varl
, Gus phases of the rice industry and its
needs, he read to the meeting the by
laws of the Texas association, ane
, then proceeded with the organization
of the Louisiana association.
W. B. Gabbert was elected tempo
rarv president. Nominations for per
manent offices was then taken up. w
B. Gabbert was elected president, H
I. Longenbach of Iowa, first vice
president, A. T. Jones secretary an.

at large. A committee was then ap
pointed to draft bylaws and submit
them at the next meeting.
The questions OF qualifications TO

to adopt the same as those OF th

Texas association. Opportunity was
then given for the enrolment of men,
bprs; and the rapidity with which
names, accompanied with the neces-
sar.v enrolment fee we're handed in
to the secretary, was ample evidence
OF the enthusiasm with which the
planters are taking hold of this move
ment
At the close of the meeting the Lou
isiana Rice Planters Association had
a membership of between forty-tive
and fifty active members. The asso-
citation stood adjourned TO meet at
2 O'Clock Saturday, November %.
One of the encouraging features OF
the meeting was the strong delegations
at came from the surrounding towns
and villages. Iowa, Kinder, Rice,
Roanoke Jennings and Elton being
represented.
A strong feeling prevails through
out the rice district that the time is
ripe for the planters to unite in pro-
tecting their industry from the warfare
that has been waged against it during
the past few years by certain New Or
leans demagogues, who have sought,
by the circulation of false and mis-
leading reports to ''bear" the marke
for their own personal ends. Tht
movement here today is but the crys
talization of this feeling, into con
crete form, by which definite ant
united opposition can be maintained
against these and other damaging
influences.
