honey into jars ready for the market.
The honeycomb is not injured in the
process and the bees have no extra
labor to perform in building new
combs preparatory to restoring more
honey. The invention is arousing a
great deal of interest in this section
of Texas, which is one of the best hon
ey producing countries in America.
The county of Uvalde. near here,
produces more honey than any other
single county in America. and last
year about this timeshipped two car
loads of honey to England. The fig
orchards in this section as a rule have
aniariCs. for the bees are useful in pol
lening the figs and fig blossoms make
fine honey. 1t is thought that this new
invention will revolutionize the honey
industry and increase it's profits.

THE DEMOCRATIC RALLY
Affected BY Storm-Mayor PIaistee
Speaks on Municipal Affairs.

The Democratic rally at City hall
last evening was seriously interfered
with by the heavy storm OF last
evening. The meeting was advertised
for o'clock and at that hour there
were by actual count "a persons in the
hall. By SIS this number had grown
to l27 and it was decided to carry
through the program. Joseph William
son presented Mayor Plaisted to the
assemblage. City Clerk Newbert and
Thomas j. Lynch were also seated up
on the stage.
Mr.. Plaisted spoke for only about
40 minutes and was followed with close
attention. He reviewed the work of
his three administrations, and while
he earnestly declared that he is not
ambitious for the honor of fourth
term he modestly admitted that the
welfare of the city demands his re-
election. His only complaint was that
the Republicans are not attacking him
In this campaign. He spoke in the
warmest terms of Treby Johnson, the
Republican nominee, and admitted
that the Republicans have named a
splendid ticket in every ward.
The meeting was over at o'clock.

NEWFOUNDLAND STATE DELE.
GATES NAMED IN PRIMARIES.

AS a result OF the machine methods
used in the Republican county con
vention. Wednesday. there are muir
mers in Republican political circles
that efforts Will be make to make this
the last convention OF the kind in
Wayne county. The plan proposed Is
to have all delegates TO state conven-
tons elected directly by the voters OF
the party In caucus. In this way,
many OF the men who are now added
as ornamental delegates-at-large would
have to either get out and get the
votes in their wards or stay at home.
Many men who were delegates to
the convention are very sore at their
TIRE atment.
we worked to get elected and then
never had a chance TO vote" declared
enc delegate. There wasn't even roll
call TO determine who were delegates
anG who were not Everyone In the
hall had a chance TO vote. Then, the
men who ran the convention made out
their list OF delegates and lot or
fellows who could not DO elected In
their precincts were made delegates
at-large, while we, who got the votes,
have TO stay home. nave talked
with a number OF others and they
say that the ledders can get out and
hustle themselves next time. az lot
OF fellows who have gone to county
conventions heretofore will not take
trouble TO run again"
The absence of a roll-call was not
the only irrcgularity in Wednesday =
convention Several matters which
came before the convention were de-
clared adopted by the secretary with
cut the formality OF vote. This was
particularly the case with regard 10
the changes In the slate OF delegates,
names being changed without the con-
sent OF the apportionment committee
on vote OF tho convention.
II develops that the shelving OF Hugh
Shepherd was decided upon at a con-
ference OF Republican leaders, OF
whom Thomas j. Navin was one, early
I'm the week Everyone was disposed
TO deal Shepherd a blow on the
ground that he had tried TO put him
