All Others Surpassed.

Two weeks ago the men with memories
were predicting that this would be the
greatest national convention held since
the family fracas OF "a. Viewing the
present republican national convention i'm
partially, and with the thermometer at
20. any delegate will tell you that it
has all other political gatherings in his
tory looking about as exciting and nerve
racking as a meeting of the Five Cor
ners school trustees a rainy night,
with the roads bad and the schoolhouse
stove refusing to draw.
There never was convention just like
1t. You can prove that by the furtive
worried looks on the faces of the special
writer's. No special writer ever looked
harassed at a national convention before
They always look knowing and Sc
renely self-conscious as the little girl who
has the disk in the game, Button, but
ton. who's got the button?" Today they
don't know what's going to happen any
more than you do. You can prove it by
the letters that the ''wirhmin folks are
writing home to their families in Kansas
and Nebraska.
No factory-made adjectives cover the
situation. Each adjective has got to be
handmade, bench turned, double eyeletted
and extra rveted. Even then they are
liable to wobble in places. And on the
face Of each special writer is the horrid
look Of the man who Is scared green for
fear he Is going to be 'scooped.'

WILSON PRAISES PRESIDENT
Democratic Candidate Says Taft's In

Be Questioned.

MINNEAPOLIS, Minn.-Governor
Woodrow Wilson paid warm tribute
while here to the character of Pres

Dental candidate was greeted by a
large crowd, and as he passed
through the streets he was cheered.
Il want to pay my tribute of per-

knows the facts can question the in
tegrity or the purpose of the man
who now presides in the white house.
If he has gotten into bad company it
is no fault of his. He did not choose
the company, it was made before
hand.
IF he has taken their advice it
was because they were nearest to him
and he did not hear anyone else.
That is the reason why I should rath-

GOVERNOR USES BUCKBOARD
Travels to His Cherokee Farm in
Regular Country STYLE,

Regular Country Style.
Governor Joseph M. Brown is
spending few days on his farm in
Cherokee county.
The governor enjoys nothing quite
so mucuh as slipping away from his
executive duties for a day or so now
and then and buckboarding it to the
tall timbers for a look around.
Governor Brown abhors an auto
mobile-that is, he abhors it for his
own use.
He has no prejudice against auto
mobiles, but he is willing that other
folks ride in them while he joys
along behind horses, after the an
Gent and approved fashion of old
time folks.
The governor always rides from
Marietta to his farm in blackboard.
He might go in a spring-seated wag-
on if the blackboard were not handy.
But he would not go in an automo-
bile-never!
The hands on that Cherokee coun-
ty farm would faint, one and all, no
doubt, if the governor some day
should ''chug-chug" into camp in a
benzine buggy.

DEDICATE RICH SHRINE

Philadelphia, April 26.-At the feast
of Our Lady of Good Counsel today
there was unveiled at st. Augustine's
Church marble shrine which sur
passes in richness of material and
beauty of design any other in this
section. 1t has been erected just out
side the church, which is in care of
the Augustinian Fathers, and is COM
posed entirely of white marble. Onyx
has been used in the finishing, and in

business than ever before. This is
particularly true with the G. & s. l..
and the Mississippi Central. More
lumber will be cut in the next few
months than ever before, and the only
fear that is felt is that there will be
a prevailing shortage of cars.
All roads in the immediate vicinity
have all cars that are needed at pres
ent and are enabled to move ship
ments out of this territory rapidly, but
along the lines of the Illinois Central
north of here and other of the larger
lines it is reported that switching
yards are congested and cars con-
signed to Northern points are delayed
very much.

preparations are being rushed to be-

struck in paying quantities

detected at Epley, in Lamar county,
and considerable interest aroused,
with the prospects that experimental
drilling will be done in that vicinity

is denied.
