Sweep of Thames Regat-
ia From Old Eli.

NEW LONDON. Conn. June r.
Harvard made a clean sweep of the re-
gatta here yesterday with Yale, win
ming the varsity eight, freshman eight
and varsity four races. leaving only to
the Blue the satisfaction of having
been victorious in one of the prelimi-
nary events.
The varsity eight race. the chief event
of the regatta, resulted in a sweeping
victory for the Crimson oarsmen and
served as a fitting climax to one of the
most successful regattas seen on the
Thames in years. The Harvard crews
were virtual machines and won all three
races almost as they pleased.
In the varsity eight-oared race Yale
caught water first and got away 10 a
slight lead before the Crimson boat
shot into motion.
Harvard's beautiful rowing machine
ground out one of it's cleanest cut
triumphs. Rowing to a five-length vic
tory Harvard's winning oarsmen were
far from spent and no member of the
Crimson eight tired at the finish
Rowed to near insensibility Yale's eight

Gently deteriorated to some extent
there has been little actual damage

The corn crop has made excellent

practically assured over the greater
portion of the South. Rice is making
good progress and unless ilsterfered
with by untoward events that crop
promises a good outturn.
In the sugar belt there has been
rather too much rain, but tempera-

coined, however, as we'll as spell

The crop, although looking healthy

would be of great benefit to the cane
crop and give it some of the growth
which it sadly lacks on most of our

The Opening of the Campatrn.

New Orleans States: The formal
notification of Governor Wilson that
he has been selected as the candi-
date of the Democratic party for
President will take place at Seagirt
On August 7. The notification speech
will be delivered by Senator James
of Kentucky, to which Governor
Wilson will reply. The latter's
speech will set Che keynote of the
campaign and present the principles
upon which the fight of the Democ-
racy for the presidency will be
waged.
From all accounts the Democratic
candidate will devote much atten-
ton to the tariff and its bearing on
the high cost of living which the
people endure. In this he will antici-
pate Mr.. Roosevelt, who has init
mated that he will take up the tariff
question himself, but who is likely
to find himself threshing old straw.
The Democratic managers are
planning a dignified campaign, and
it is not likely that Governor Wilson
will make one of those swings
around the circle" which have been
so common of late years, but on the
contrary will devote himself to the
debatable states, where the tariff
question will be made the principal
issue. He will make his position
clear on all the leading questions of
the day, and set them forth in the
concise style which renders all of
his public addresses interesting and
understandable.
With his speech of acceptance the
campaign of 1912 will be formally
opened, and after a short lull the
battle for victory will begin under
the most brilliant leadership the
Democracy has had in half a cen
tury.

WEATHER AND CROPS.
There Have Been Many Complaints
of Too Much Rain i'm the Central
District.

New Orleans picayune July Is;
The past week has been period of
rather doubtful weather in the cot
ton belt. There have been many
complaints of too much rain in por-
tions of the central district and in
portions of the Atlantic coast, but
at the same time some people have
commended that the rains have been
comparatively light and have done
more good than harm. The concen-
sus of opinion, however, has been
that the showers have been much
too frequent over a great portion of
the territory east of the Mississippi
river. In the western part of the
belt, however, there has been little
rain and some complaints are now
being heard of dry weather and ex-
cessive heat. The official figures,
however, do not show abnormal
temperatures for this period of the
season and conservative people hold
that the western crop has not yet
suffered any deterioration.
While opinions differ as to the
present condition and progress of
the crop there are many reports of

The Confederate Veterans picnic
here was unique in its features
First, there was no Veteran orator
of the day. Second, after the orators
had spoken and the ladies had boun-
teously served the crowd with bar
becued mutton and beef. chicken
and salad and cake and pie and the
inner man was satisfied and all felt
good, the Veterans jestingly and yet
reVerently held an experience meet
ing.
Tom Land and Judge Murff paid
the tribute of the New South to the
deeds of valor of the men and the
loyalty and devotion Of the women
of the Old Southland the dear old
boys themselves told of the hard
ships, the inspiration and the glory
of the war
One lesson taught by one fine old
soldier, soldierly yet in bearing and
in fearlessness of vision sank deep,
and it was this: That the men who
fought depended on the strength of
fidelity of the woman folk back
home and whenever the sad tragedy
of wife's desertion entered a sol
dier's life that soldier was lost to
the cause. Death cast a shadow but
desertiOn caused a blight.
Of course the politicians gathered
but not Extensively; no work of po-
litical purpose was publicly spoken.
Judge Edwards and Judge Drew
We'd in handshaking and smiling.
Judge Land was there receiving as
surances of assistance from men
who supported Judge Hall two years
ago. Frank Looney was making
friends and Worsham was persuad-
ing the Bridges people that he was
the best second choice.
1t was a Veterans day and in
shade and Sunshine the gentle voice
and decOrous manner showed the
influence that halloWed memory and
reverence bring when the work-a-
dag world and youth halt for a mo-
ment to contemplate the unselfish
patriotism of the now gray-haired
men in gray.
