MARSHALL GETS SECOND PLACE.
Governor of Indiana Will he AViIson's
Running Mate.

Baltimore, July 3.-In the dying
hours of the Democratic National
Convention this morning 1t seemed
for time that there would be ano-
ther deadlock over the nomination
for Vice President. Governor John
E. Burke, Of North Dakota, for
whom Mr.. Bryan had expressed a
preference for second place on the
ticket, had polled enough votes on
the first two ballots to block the
nomination o, Governor Thomas B.
Marshall, Of Indiana, the leader. The
third ballot had just been ordered
when the chairman of the North Da-
kota delegation obtained recognition
from the chair and said:
"North Dakota offered her three
times Governor to the party, believ-
ing him to be the strongest running
mate for Governor Wilson that could
be named. We made the best fight
we could for him until realizing that
we were beaten. Therefore we with
draw his name, assuring this conven-
tion that wherever there is fight
for Democratic votes next fall, Gov
ernor John e. Burke will be found in
the thick of it."
The speaker thcreupon moved to
Marshall unanimous. Immediately
wild scramble for the doors followed,
few waiting to hear the motion put.
Several seconds later Chairman
James gavel fell at 1.16 a. m. on the
final adjournment Of one Of the most
notable conventions in the history Of
the Democratic party.
William j. Bryan remained CEN
tral figure to the last. A short time
before adjournment he spoke his
! ''valedictory," as he called it, trans
ferring the party's standard to the
shoulders Of Governor Wilson. The
respectful attention which the speech
received and the applause at its con-
clusion were tributes to his leader
ship.
A large number of delegates left
the city after the nomination Of Gov
ernor Wilson yesterday afternoon
without waiting for the final session.
Those who remained showed the re-
lief they felt that the fight was over
and spirit Of hilarity prevailed
among them.
The Missouri delegation, loyal to

ed in the revelry as best they could
and mingled their cheers for Wood

Columbia, July 81. Sumter
Moore, who for the past seventeenN
years has been in the cotton mill
business, has opened an office in Co.
lumbia, and this fall will begin buy
ing long staple upland cotton. Mr..
Moore IS the first cotton buyer in
South Carolina to turn his attention
exclusively to the buying Of upland
long staple. He will buy independ-
emily, and not for any special firm.
Next season it is expected that
more upland long staple cotton will
DC produced than the South Caro-
lima mills, which consume about 25,-
600 bales of this high grade cotton,
can use. This will leave about co.
600 or 1000 bales to be sold in the
North and shipped abroad. The up
land long staple is a crop which re-
quires very careful attention, but in
the end repays the farmer who plants
1t and cultivates it intelligently.
Since the boil weevil began to make
inroads in the cotton crop of the
Mississippi Delta, there has been a
growing demand for the upland long
staple, which Is about the same
length rs the cotton grown there.

WILSON WINS ON 40TH BALLOT.
End Came When Isankhead With
drew Underwood as Candidate.

Baltimore, July g. Governor
was made the Presidential nominee
OF the Democratic National C0nven-
ton at the afternoon session to-day,
when, on the forty-siXth ballot, he
received $50 votes to 81 for Champ
Clark.
The Missouri delegation. which
had remained faithful to Clark to the
end then moved that the nomina-
ton be made unanimous. There was
a great chorus Of approval, and the
long fight was over.
Only four ballots were necessary
to-day to reach nomination. When
the convention adjourned last night
1t had seemed to be in an all but
gun to lose ground on the last few
ballots, and Champ Clark had made
few temporary gains.
This encouraged the Speaker to
rush over to Baltimore from Wash
ington in the hope Of still further
turning the tide and rallylng his
forces to final stand.
When he reached here, however,
he learned that the illinois delega-
ti0n. at an early morning conference.
had decided to switch from Clark to
Wilson. This meant n change OF 5S
votes. and was as fatal to Clark s
chances as it was inspiring to the
Wilson forces. Illinois had been cx-
pcctcd to "break" ali day yesterday
and there was deep gloom i'm the
Wilson ranks when it failed to do So
With the change, however, the
Wilson forces went to the convention
hall at noon in the firm belief that
the New Jersey Governor would be
nominated before another adjourn
mcnt was taken. AS they had an
ticipatcd, the vote of Illinois mark ed
the beginning OF the end. West Vir-

How Wilson Vote Jumped.
Wilson jumped from his final vote
Of A94 last night to 602 on the first

own story. The Wilson delegates
were jubilant as Chairman James d.
rected the second call of the day
the forty-fourth of the convention.
The most important change on this
ballot was in the Colorado delega-
tion, which had been voting II fol
