CHOICE STEERS FROM WILL
HOWARD.

Joe C. Parks, proprietor of the Pal
ace Meat Market, this morning pur-
chased one of the prettiest herds of
beef cattle seen on this market in
some time There were twenty-four
big red steers in the bunch and they
tipped the beam at an average Of
over 1000 pounds each, making the
total weight of the purchase more
than $4,000 Mr.. Parks purchased
these beeyes for butchering and the
meat will be sold in his meat market.
The cattle were fattened by William
Howard, Of Mt Pleasant, and were
bought through Joe Hagey. Mr..
Parks paid six and half cents per
pound, making the aggregate cost
more than $500.

thirty per cent ever cast republican
ballot. A number of them could not
cast any kind of vote under the Aus
tralian ballot system in vogue in this
county. With a very few exceptions
the known republicans of the county
were lined up for Taft and Hooper.
The really amusing feature of the
convention was the great activity Of
the so-called regular" democrats for
Barker. They brought in the larger
portion of the crowd and were the
able lieutenants of the republican
leader. Prominent in the Barker
councils were many who have been
bitter in their denunciation Of the in
dependents who from sense of civic
duty voted for Hooper.

NASHVILLE WINS

ABILITY TO FIND THE BALL
GIVES VICTORY TO ROGER
WILLIAMS TEAM.

One CT the best games of ball on
a local diamond this year was play

University, of Nashville and the Co.

vas not free from errors it was a
good exhibition of ball and the spec
tators were thoroughly satisfied that
they had received their moneys
worth when the final out was made.
The home team was defeated by
the close score of to 4. But it was
anybcdy's game until the last. There
was but little difference shown in

hitting no less than three batters.
Bad base running on the part of
the locals was responsible in part
for their defeat. A good chance to
score in the first inning was thrown
away by poor base running, two outs
being scored by the opposition
through lack of judgment upon the
part OF the coach.
Neither side scored until the third,

ment.
After the convention had been call
ed to order by Chairman Derryberry
VINO wore a flaming Roosevelt badge,
the fireworks began. Secretary Bar
ker read the call for the convention
laying particular stress upon the in
yitation to all without regard to pre-
vious political affiliations who agree
|, to support the nominees of the state
convention" Jackson objected to
any but republicans voting and call
ed ON his crowd to assemble in
corner Of the room and hold con-
vention, but R. S. Hopkins undertook
TO pour oil on the troubled waters and
appealed for a fair count and asqui-
escence in the will of the majority.
! T. Emmett! Foster for the Taft-Hoop-
er crowd, was nominated for chair
man, while William Barker was the
nominee of his own faction for the
same honor. DR.. Sheddan, for the
Barker interests and John w. Jack
son for the opposition, were named
as teilers. 1t was apparent as soon
as the count commenced that the Bar
ker element was largely in the ma
jority.
| After the count had been completed
DR.. Sheddan reported that Barker had
received 1873 votes and that Foster
had received eighty-four. Jackson
filed a minority report which was ig-
nored.
! Declaring Barker the regularly
elected chairman of the convention
Derry berry put the Roosevelt Oliver
Houk crowd in motion and the rest
was easy. 1t had all been cut and
dried in advance.
Protesting that his report had been
ignored Jackson called on the repub-
licans of his faith to assemble in the
corner of the court room where Fos-
ter was elected chairman and Phin-
ease Murphey was elected secretary.
The convention did not long remain
in session after they got down to bus
less.
Many so-called regular" democrats
were quite conspicuous in the meet
!! ing giving aid and counsel to Mr..
Barker.
If the Barker crowd really had
majority OF the republicans in the
court room and their organization is
sustained at Nashville and at Chica-
go, Hooper republicans in these parts
will roost mighty low. 1t was, IL ex-
pres6ive Of the sentiment of the re-
publicans of the county, body blow
at the temperance faction of the par
ty of which Hooper is the leader. It
was the same old fight between the
tempe 'ance republicans under the
banner of Hooper and Sanders and
the liberal" element of that party
under the baner of Oliver and Houk.
The up shot of the whole matter is
that Naury county follows the wake
of many other counties and sends two
deuegations to the state convention.

With the aid of their regular"
democratic allies the Houk-Taylor
Oliver element Of the republican par
ty today captured the county repuD-
iican convention, endorsed Roosevelt
and placed the machinery of the par
ly locally in the hands of William
Barker, who was the chairman OF the
so-called regular republican conven-
ton
Claiming that boys and scores not
republicans had voted and given the
majority to Barker the Taft and
Hooper following refused to abide the
announcement of the count but held
separate convention at which Taft
and Hooper were endorsed and the
machinery of the party placed in the
hands of the Jackson-HickmaD fac
lion
The convention was largely attend
ed, tie largest white republican con-
vention probably ever held in this
county. 1t was strictly a white mans
affair and the court room was COM
fortably filled. It was crowd the
like Of which is not often seen in Co.
iumbia. The boys and youths con-
tlibuted more than their usual quota,
thele were others who seldom get
this eide of the sticks and ON the
whole it was in many respects an in.
novation in conventions in this coun.
| y.
Most all of the strictly regular, old
line republicans and the republicans
wko are factors in the affairs of the
county were aligned with the Taft
Hooper faction. The boys and the
unknown element led by William Bar
ker and astute neutenants both re-
publican and demochratic, were en-
listed under the baner of the Houk.
Taylor-Oliver element. There was a
plenty of enthusiasm especially
among the Barker element.
The size of the crowd was the sur
prise of the day. 1t had not been be-
Elieved that there were so many white
republicans in the county who would
take sufficient interest to come to Co
lumbia, and the fact that there was
a large crowd at the convention does
not prove that the republicans are
really here. For instance Chairman
Derryherry boosted that the old Ke-
dron or twenty-third district had
sent over fifty to the convention. And
Kedr"n box. where fifteen independ-
ent democrats vote, gave Hooper in
the last election the magnificent to-
tai Of twenty votes.
1t was evident from the first that
there would be two conventions The
bolt was imminent and the surprise
was that it did not come sooner.
| According to the report of the tell
ers on chairman, the Barker-Roose-
welt element had 1873 and the Taft
Hooper element had eighty-four votes.
But John W. Jackson, acting as the
teller for the Taft-Hooper faction de-
clared that only fifty-six republicans
had votes for the Barker candidate
