FAMOUS
s7R1NG CONVENTION

The Journal had pleasant-caN Mon
day afternoon from c. NJ Noyes of
Wilton, who is the guest of his son,
Franklin F. Noyes, Stone street. Mr.
Moves has, always lived in Wilton and
his first visit to the Capital city was
two years ago though he is now 50
years of age. And for a man of. that
age he appears remarkably active and
alert. He expresses himself as much
pleased with Augusta and plans to
pass more time here in the future
than in the past His son. +. +. Noyos,
has recently moved here from Water
Vile and purchased part Of the Dr.. l..
J. Crooker place on Stone street, where
he expects TO engage extensively in the
canning business.
An interesting incident of the senior
Mr.. Noyes call was the mention that
he was a delegate from Wilton to the
amous Strong convention, at which the
birth of the Republican party in Maine
took place, md he we'll remembers
the occasion. He describes it as eX-
citing and impressive, the situation
tense with the Importance of the new
questions then pending and resulting
in action that had made its political
effect felt to this day.
1t will be interesting in connection
with the mention Of this subject to
quote briefly from "The Republican
Party" by Francis Curtis. standard
work published in 1904. We read the
following:
1T is impossible to gather any de-
ment in Maine. except that a meeting
was held. on August 18th, at Strong,
where the Republican party of that
State was said to be organized. Says
Hon. Joseph H. Manley in letter to
the author:
THE convention held in Strong, Au-
gusta Z 1854. was a convention of the
Free Soils. the Wings and the Nor
rill Democrats. They met, appointed
committee of conference, and nominat-
ed a candidate for Senator and de-
clared him the candidate of the Re-
publican party. That was the birth
of the Republican party in Maine. at
least, if not in the country. There
was no meeting between the Strong
meeting and the election The meeting
held at Strong. on August 10Th. 1884,
was an afternoon meeting at which
Julius c. Burrows spoke, and Gov.
Dingley and Mr.. Blaine. | was present
at that meeting. 1t was a great meet
ing.
"'What turned the election in 1854
was the temperance issue. The Frank
lin County meeting, or Strong meeting,
declared in favor of the Maine law
and its strict enforcement. 1t was the
breaking up Of parties.

The first bale of new cotton, which was
brought to Greenwood, by Mr.. O.. F. Bled-
soc, Jr., from his Shellmound plantation,
on August 10th, and generously donated by
him to the Kings Daughters Circle, was
scld Tuesday by MI. G.. P. Elliott, one of our
leading cotton factors, to the highest
bidder.
Manager B. B.. Provine, Of the Y. & M.
V. Cotton Co., bought the new bale for his
firm, paying IA cents per pound for it.
MIR. Elliott then took the matter of a
premium for the first new bale up with the
buyers, factors and congresses, who con-
tributed literally, and the price was there
by run up to the handsome figure Of 40
cents per pound, totaling $500. 90 for the bale.
The bale weighed 400 pounds, classed
good middling full / BIG inches, and was
from Mr.. Bledsoe's large acreage Of Elk
press cotton which he has given intensified
cultivation this year, with results that are
very satisfactory to him, Notwithstanding
the unfavorable season in this section.
The Kings Daughters have requested
The Commonwealth to again thank Mr..
Bledsoe for his generous donation, and to
also extend thanks to Mr.. Elliott and each
of the cotton s.uyers for their generosity in
contributing so literally toward making
their bale Of cotton Let them such a snug

N IN FINE CONDITION.

The quarterly financial statements of
the five banking houses of Greenwood and
Schlater-published in The Commonwealth
last week and this week-make magnificent
showings for those staunch institutions. The
large individual deposits subject to check
in these banks indicates that the people of
this section of the Delta are in very
good financial condition, and the rapid adj
vance in the price Of cotton makes the pros
poets for business this fall considerably
brighter.

region of illiteracy, blatant self
righteousness, cruelty, and vio-
lence. Until it is improved by
the invasion of better ideas it will
remain a reproach and a danger
to the American Republic"
The Tribune is backward. AS
an American newspaper it shames
the United States by its ignorance
and incompetence. Its blatant
self-righteousness passes belief.
Until it is improved by the invas-
ion of a better spirit and better
ideas it will remain a reproach and
a danger to a true nationalism
But its sentiments with regard
to the South must be typical Of
community opinion, since other
wise they would have met with
public and concerted rebuke from
Chicago's citizenship.
When the Civil War broke out
the North was rich; the South,
thanks to an industrial system
which was as mistaken economi-
cally as it was wrong morally, was
poor. The war stimulated the
North and prepared it for the
conquest of the New West; ii
Frustrated and bankrupted the
South. After the war the North
was as it had been before; the
South was a land in ruins. Not
only its capital was gone; its in
sutntions were to rebuild, on new
and better foundations. And
while the South stood so bitterly
in need the laws of the United
States were shaped to benefit
the protected manufacturers OF
the North at the expense of the
agricultural South. We recall
that the esteemed Tribune, in the
Medill days, used to argue power.
