ASSOtldIeO 1TtSS.
Baltimore, Nd. June 26-The
progressive democrats OF the nation
al convention CLAIMED a notable vic
tory tonight when they carried the
motion abrogating the rule by which
some Of the delegations were bound
10 cast their votes as a unit
The fight was waged particularly
about Ohio where eighteen district
delegates had been instructed by the
primaries TO vote for Wilson. but
where the state convention con-
trolled by he Harmon forces in
voked the rule binding all Ohio votes
to the Ohio governor.
Unit Rule Smashed.
The convention voted 563 1-2 to
491 1-3 that no state delegation
should be bound by unit control eX
cept where the ate law was manda-
tory on the subject.
The Wilson supporters who earlier
in the evening had carried on a de-
monstration lasting SO minutes, re-
garded the vote as distinctly favor
ing the New Jersey governor. The
Wilson boom has been growing
throughout he day.
Besides Ohio it is said the abroga-
tion rule may lead to breaks in other
delegations and left the presidential
race tonight in greater doubt than
ever.
Nothwiths anding the impetus to
the Wilson cause, Clark's campaigp
manager is not willing to admit to-
night that there is any wavering in
his forces.

Dark horses are being discussed

diana seemed to hold the lead in this
connection The coalition of the
Bdyan and Wilson forces, however.

strength would ultimately go to
Wilson.
One on. standing fact, however,
seemed to be the absolute impossi-
bility of any candidate being named
on the first ballot.
The friends of Bryan practically
ceased today 10 boom him for the
presidency.

MRS. LYDIA AvERA,
JOE VALLEY, Supt.

At the hour of six o'clock on Tues
day July 20, 1912. Mrs. Lydia Avera.
widow of the late John Avera, and
mother of Tom, Jim and Alex Avera
passed out from this lite to eternal
habitations. She was somewhere
near about three score and ten. Be-
sides the three sons above named
who survive her, she was the mother
of two daughters, Mrs. Belle West
wife of A. Lee West and Mrs. Jona-
than Kittrell NO. 2, both of whom
preceded her to the grave but are
survived by children. She has a
living sister. Mrs. Landlord. the
mother of our Dunk and John Lank-
ford. Her family name before mar
rage was Davis and she was some
kin to the PIatts. The Herald will
expect someone c0nversant with the
family history to see to it that mem
ory Of this good lady goes down in
annals of Old Greene County, Miss.
with an appropriate obituary to be

If we are any Judge of the outlook
in the field of politics in this good
year of our Lord nineteen hundred
and twelve, it looks like the Demo
cratic Party is going to disprove the
old and well-known political proverb
coined if our memory serves US right
by Grant and running thus:
Can always be depended upon to
make an ass of itself at the right
time" To that utterance of Re-
publican can be traced the origin oil

The noted criminal lawyer, Mr..

is being tried in Los Angeles upon
the charge of having aided in an at
tempt to bribe the jury in the fa-
nous Mcnamara case, seems dispos-
ed to take advantage of every posi-

y, we hope that he will be convicted
and given the extreme penalty of the
law. Scarcely any class of men In
the nation has done more to lnjure
and disrupt the social order than the
INSCRIPTIONS attorneys who practice
in our courts. The patience of the
public with them has been positively
amazing. In this day of reformatlop

desire to make it sufficiently clear
that those who like this editor are
so b;tlerly against the selling of the
damning stuff have reason to be at
enmity with it, for that hurt which
it has done to our race. 1t has some
medicinal value, but its hard to be
kept within its prouer channels OF

writer summed up it's effects pretty
thoroughly in these familiar lines;
AT last it stingeth like a serpent
and biteth like an adder.
It may not get its sting in on you
brother, but if your blood runs hot
with it's poison, look out for those
fateful effects to break out in your
unborn generations and who is it
that wants to bequeath to his chill
dren and children's children such q
curse for a legacy or birthright?

One of the strongest arguments a.
gainst the legalized liquor traffic is
the sorrowful spectacle of the wreck
and ruin of health to our fellows all
round us wrought by the use of alco-
holic liquors. There are but few
families in our land but what have
received wounds and wear scars from
the hands of King Alcohol. None
but the candid doctors know of the
long line of those daily coming up
for treatment for the long list of af-
fiictions brought on by tamperlng
with the cup that is red, among
these most of US can if we are close
scrutinizers see host who are Grip
pied or wounded nigh unto death
with stomach troubles, liver and
kidney diseases, nervous and heart

who suffer from these complaints

but large company came down unto
those diseases through intemperance,

Only Shows That Negro Has More Brute
Strength.

Southern Sentinel.
The prize fight which will occur
todey at Las Vegas, New Mexico, be-
tween Jim Flynn, white man and
Jack Johnson a negro, will be watch
ed with interest by many. Personal
ly we have no desire to see 1t and if
it were short distance we would
perhaps not patronize it. It seems
to US that it is nothing more or less
than a white man undertaking some
thing almost impossible when CON-
batting with beastly, lion-strength
nigger. If Johnson does whip Flynn
he will have nothing to be proud of,
it only goes to show that the negro
has more brute strength than the
white man. No self respecting white
man should enter the ring with a
nigger. Let him fight bull, lion
or mad elephant, something that
will give him tussle and at least
make him feel that he has been fit. =

Woodrow Wilson typifies tbs new

He Ia the embodiment OF the new

This clear headed and profound
scholar brought to the Iowa people a
message OF hope and good cheer. he
came carrying the standard Of pro

else may happen 1t shall DO brought

In his Coliseum address the governor
properly assumed that there are ten
denotes In American Life that are
wrong. that evils have grown MP. that
we have got away from the moorings
Of free government. No need 10 dis
cuss these things But what is the
remedy?
He analysed the problem with the
dispasstonate logic OF the great univer-
Eity teacher before his class. He was
especially happy In bis characterize

privileged business" rather than big
business" Tor It II not size 20 much as
1t Is the enjoyment Of special privilege
that makes some business destructive
Of all that 10 good In commercial and
political life. He was right. too. In
leading back to the~or1gtnal source and
refuge OF all special pr1v1lsge-ths pro-

Without attempting to 60 into details
he pointed out that the remedy that we
oil are seeking must be secured. Ii at
ALL through agencies that are free to

Woodrow Wilson brought to Iowa
people a message they hear with eager.
ness because they want just such a
point OF the lifelong and earnest stu
dent Of world politics. as one who has
approached the subject with ripened
intellect and well trained mind and
following the eternal principles of
truth, has reached Q conclusion that
cannot be assailed Without any ora

people are eager for some discussion
Of present day politics In the light Of
present day conditions. That Ia why
Woodrow Wilson's message to Iowa
people was 20 refreshing. 30 inspiring.

Whatever else they may do. the Iowa
people. without regard to the partieu-

The question next in impor-
lance to CONSOLIDATION AND FREE
TRANSPORTATION is that of an
AGRICULTURAL HIGH SCHOOL.
In looking over the field of school
work, cannot refrain from saying
that the Agricultural High School is
squarely meeting and supplying one
of the greatest demands now made
by the public in modern day school
work. 1t is conceded by everybody
that every child needs training.
After carefully studying the agencies
through which training is given ]
have reached the conclusion that
ming in the industries ranks
h in the list of agencies The
training ranks first and is di-
Fly responsible for the entire
lining. The school ranks second
and is supplemental to the home
training in all it's features. The
church trains in morals and manners
and religious culture and is therefore
supplemental to both the home and
school training.
These three agencies are meeting
the demands of the people tolerably
well, but not as fully as should be
and the Agricultural High School
will meet the demands of the people
along the line of industrial training.
1t is true that it requires the ex-
penditure of considerable amount
of money to equip and put into oper-
alton an Agricultural High School,
but lets see if the benefits to be de-
rived will justify this expenditure.
1st, 1t will satisfy the demand now
being made by the public for scien-
tific training in the industrial arts,
by training the country boys and
young men to prepare their seed
beds according to scientific methods
and therefore aid in conserving the
rainfall (which is nearly always
plentiful in the winter and early
spring season. and increase the
amount of nitrogen in the land by
increasing the air circulation; to en-
ploy scientific methods of ferti,iza-
ton thereby increasing the product
livity of their soils, and at the same
time leaving certain amount of fer
| tiiizing properties IN the land; to
employ scientific methods in planting
Aa,a cultivation SO that they can
grow two stalks of corn where they
formerly grew one. It will. by
learning the boys the skillful use of
| tools. enable them to build for them
selves better homes and to beautify
! their homes.
No one will be content with the
old fashioned bars if he knows how
to construct and hang gate. No
longer will one be content to use a
one-horse pillow and walk when he
knows that he can do more work and
better worth with two-hOrse plow
and ride. No one will be content to
work with tools out of repair when
he has repairing outfit and knows
how to use 1t.
1t is an easy matter to see that
scientific training in the industries
will make our people more prosper
GUS. happy and contented to say
nothing of the training in domestic
science, which IS VERY important,
and the culinary art which would be
eagerly taken by our girls, it seems
to me that, the benefit derived from
an Agricultural High School will
easily justify the expenditure of the
money necessary to put it into oper-
alton.
Very respectfully,
Greene County herald. (Leakesville, Miss.) 1898-current, 1912-07-26
