There Is only one condition at the moment which may have the effect of staying prices. temporart- ly at lea4t. that of the filling of contracts for June deliveries. Already several con- tracts have been filled and should the trad CTS have to come into the market for addi- tionai supplies this would of course have a more favorable effect on the price trend. During the past week several hundred bar Pels were shipped from Savannah tanks to the interior in filling contracts for May June deliveries.
 The real cause for the declines recently recorded in the naval stores markets is ob- vieue. The receipts have continued unu- euaily heavy in volume and the domestic demand is anything but what t should be.

 1, Appeal; harmless error.-Certatn depositions were suppressed, and were afterwards admitted, by agreement, as of the same force and effect as If they had been. properly taken. Held, if im- properly suppressed in the first in- stance. the subsequent admission cured any error.
 9. Mortgages; foreclosure; default. Although the mortgage provided that if the mortgagor should default on any of the notes secured, or transferred or remove any of the property including the crops, mortgaged to secure the debt. from the premises, all the notes should become due at once, the fact that prior to Nov. 1st, 1905. the mortgaRor sold certain cotton grown on the mortRaeed premises and removed the same without the mortgagee's con- sent did not entitle such mOrtgagee to declare alls subsequently, maturing notes nresentiy due and to foreclose the mortgoge. as 1t was the intent of inc parties that the mortgage could he maid in cash, and the mortgagor had nsid all the instailments maturing up to and including Nov. lst, 1905.

REPUBLICAN CONVENTION.

Convention Echoes.
POLITE ELvINs FOR CONGRESS

The Republicans held their county
/ convention at Elvins on last Mon
day. aud at which there were repre-
scntativcs from every township in
the county.
The convention was called to
order and afterwards permanently
organized by clccting Hon. George
NJ Wilson, Of Pennington, ms chair
man and Editor Il. a. Roy, Of
Bonnie T"rre, as secretary.
The committee on resolutions, as
we were reliably informed, reported
set "f resolutions prepared by
Hon. h, II. Boyer, which had been
unanimously adopted by the com
mittcc, and were by tho convention
adopted without single negative
vote. These resolutions Endorsed
President Roosevelt, the Republic
can State officials, United States
senator William Warner, State
Auditor Wilder, and last hut not
least, indorscd the candidacy of
Hon. Polite Elvins for the Republic
can nomination for Congress and
pledged St Francois county to Mr..
Elvins and requested the other
counties of this district to do the
same. Notwithstanding the fact
that Judge G.. o. Nations and his
friends had been previously assured
that no such action was cOntem-
plated, this part of the resolution
was sprung Eat the clcnth hour
and no one was present and pre-
pared to do the Judge the honor of
opposing its adoption.
The delegates to the State Rcpub-
licAn Convention were selected and
20 uniustructcd as to president, but
it was freely admitted that the dele
CATION il anti-Taft and anti-Admin-
istrution.
Some Of the echoes of this con-
vcutiun would seem to indicate that
IA well developed and good sized
political raw is fast Undertaking;
for on the streets and in the ears
our reporter heard such comments
as these from Republicans:
polite Elvins' candidacy is in
the interest Of Congressman Smith"
"If Elvins is nominated, the Re-
puhlicans will not elect II single
man on their ticket at the general
election"
"The Republican party in this
county is hopelesslyssplit."
"The old gang the corporation
tools, had 81 of the G0ydelegrtes.
"Elvins will get.the support of
but few OF the laboring men."
Judge Nations was slaughtered
In the house Of his friends, the Re
publican convention"
1.-THE Endorsement of Polite
Elvins insures the election of every
democratic nominee in this county"
Neither Elvins nor Nations can
win now, the convention has fixed
their political clocks for they have
both stopped running"

harmful and degrading than the IL

The Love OF Good Books

There is no task of the teacher that
can surpass in Importance this work
OF forming right tastes OF reading
among children It makes not so much
difference what children learn as what
they love. What they learn they will
forget; what they love they will keep.
II children do not learn to use and ap-
preciate good books while at school,
they will hardly ever learn, and their
education will not amount to much.
The school has TO do with child and
youth, but the library has to do with
the child, the youth and the man until
the end OF his life. A good book 10 q
blessing, but an evil one curse.

Water Spreading Fire.

the properties Of carbide of calcium
occurred recently on quay at AL.
gtey. Five tons Of carbide had been
placed near a quantity Of infiammable
material, which suddenly caught fire.
The firemen. instead OF removing the
boxes Of carbide with hooks, smashed
them. and then turned water upon the
contents. The result was a great de-

structive FIRE, which might have been
prevented by a little practical knowi-
