CHICAGO, June 10.--For president,
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York;
for vice president, John M. Parker,
of Louisiana.
This is the ticket nominated today
by the Progressives at their second
annual convention, which adjourned
almost Immediately. but many of the
delegates remained in the city to
await a reply from their leader at
Oyster Bay to see whether or not
he would accept the nomination
All efforts to reach an agreement
between Republican and Progressive
leaders failed, and II was known when
the Progressives convened this morn
ing that Roosevelt would be nominat-
ed on the first ballot. Great enthusi-
asm prevailed when tie announce
ment was made, and It was half an
hour before order was restored
Immediately following the nomina-
tion for president, the chairman an
nounced that the nomination Of a
vice president was in order Two or
three names were suggested to the
convention. John NJ Parker, of New
Orleans, was nominated.

BRUNSWICK IS
EXPORT POINT
FOR TOBACCO
FOrty=five Car Loads Already
Here and More is Yet
TO Come.
STEAMER DUE HERE TODAY
Congestion of Northern Ports
Cause Shippers to Seek Ser
vice in the South-One Hun
dred and Fifty Cars Coming.
STEAMER DUE HERE TODAY

Forty-five carloads of tobacco ar
r Ved yesterday at the Strachan Ship
ping company's yard and will be ex-
ported to England on a vessel which
is expected to arrive today from Man
chester. This is the first shipment
of an order for 15O cars from Virginia,
Kentucky and the Piedmont country.
and marks the beginning Of a new
shipping industry for Brunswick.
Before the outbreak of the Euro
pean war practically all of the export
tobacco was shipped through the PORTS
of New York and other northern ci-
ties, but since the war began. those
ports have been badly congested and
the shippers are now seeking outlets
through southern ports. This port was
selected because of its many advant-
ages, being closer to the sea than
Savannah or any other nearby ports
and having indispensable railroad and
loading facilities
The shipment which came to the
Strachan company yesterday is but
the beginning as it is understood this
is to be made one of the principal
exporting points for tobacco. The
shipment consisted of forty-fve cars,
each containing $4,000 pounds Of to-
bacco, making a total of more than
a million pounds of tobacco. 1t will
be taken to England on the steamer
Antillian which is expected today from
Manchester.
After taking on the tobacco, the
Antillian will complete her cargo with
several thousand bales of cotton and
hewn timber.

ROOSEVELT MAY NOT
ACCEPT NOMINATION

CHICAGO June 10-No definite an
nouncement as to whether or not he
would accept the nomination came
from Theodore Roosevelt up to an
early hour tonight, though a long
statement was received from him.
Leaders of the Progressive con
vention said they had heard from
Col. Roosevelt, and while he did not
fatty refuse the Progressive nomina-
tion he indicated reluctantcy to divide
the opposition to the Democrats
The message did not specially ask
the Progressive convention to recon-
slider its action, 1t was authoritatively
stated, but he merely put It up to the
convention.
Bull Moose leaders. however, were
quick to announce that it was their
intention to stick to their action They
stated that every effort was made to
bring about harmony between Repub-
licans anr Progressives. but that such
was impossible.

BALLAR MAY STAY
WITH THE SCHOOLS
MISUNDERSTANDING ALL ROUND
AND CHANCES ARE DIFFER
ENCES WILL BE ADJUSTED.

1t may be that Supt. N. II. Ballard,
OF the local schools will not leave
Brunswick, AS has been stated and as
he himself has announced. It seems
that there has been some slight mis-.
understanding between Supt. Ballard
and the Board Of Education on very
trivial matter and which has been tax
en- in a very serious manner by the
superintendent. At any rate, the News
interviewed several members of the
Board of Education last night and
each one of them stated that it was
the decided opinion Of the Board that
the superintendent should not give up
his work here.
The matter bringing up the differ
ences was a very simple one in which
superintendent Ballard was led to be.
lieve that his recommendation had
been ignored by the Board in the
matter Of purchasing an educational
map for the schools. Messrs w. g.
Cook, r. E. l.. Burford j. r. Colson
and A. V. Wood, all members of the
board, in speaking Of the matter
last night stated that the situation
was unfortunate and that Supt. Bal
lard was laboring under an erroneous
impression All of them spoke In very
high terms of Mr.. Ballard and ex-
pressed the hope that he would not
tender his resignation His fifteen
years Of public service in GIynn
county; the splendid efficiency of the
schools, etc. were all referred to by
the members. who assured the News
that Mr.. Ballard enjoyed to the ful.
lest degree the confidence Of the en-.
tire membership.
Mr.. Ballard was seen by News rep.
resentatiye last night and, while I Is
not the intention Of the News to quote
Mr. Ballard, it can be stated that he
fees that he has been sighted by the
board, but he is fond Of the work IN
Brunswick; Is devoted TO the interest
Of her schools and II is believed that
little diplomatic endeavor on both
sides can easily straighteD out the sit
uation Mr.. Ballard has been here
for fifteen years he has made great
record, and the public veal ought mo-
to be made to suffer by reason OF &
misunderstanding all round.
In the meantime, Supt. Ballard has
not resigned and it is hoped that h'
will not do SO.

the next state called; and on down
the line Hughes received practically
all of the votes. Before half of the
states had been called it was realized
that the New York man would be nom
mated.
At the end of the ballot, it was dis
covered that Hughes had received a
total of 949 IL votes, out of total
of 987; Roosevelt received 16 1-2; Du-
pont, 5; Weeks, and Lodge, 7.

Fairbanks for Vice President
AS soon as order was restored it was
announced that the nomination of a
vice president was in order, and three
names were placed before the conven-
ton: Burkett, of Nebraska; William
Brant Webster of Oregon. and Charles
Fairbanks, of Illinois. When the state
of New York was reached in the vot-
ing it was realized that Mr.. Fairbanks
had been nominated. He received a
total of S63 votes. He has accepted
the nomination.

WORK BEING RUSHED
AT NEW SHIP PLANT

Things are getting lively at the
Brunswick Marine Construction com.
pany's new plant and workmen are
so busy down there that the place re-
sembles a little city by itself. The
keel for the first vessel has been com.
pleted and the stern post has been
set. They are now getting ready to
lay the second keel while work is un.
der way on the third and fourth
launchways. Four large vessels will be
under construction at the same time
as the company has contracts for that
number. There is room for another
ship and it would be no great surprise
to hear an announcement soon that
the fifth vessel had been contracted
for.

w orld of Finance

early part of August is less than 1OO,- 900 cars there is pretty sure to be net shortage beginning in October or the early part of November. There were only three years from 1907 to 1915, inclusive, when the net surplus on August was less than this. These were 1907, 1912 and 1913, and in every one of them there was a car shortage in the late fall and early winter.
 "In view of the serious condition which these statistics indicate will ex- ist within the next few months unless heroic treatment Is applied. 1t be- hooves the managers of the railways and the large shippers of the country to take steps at once toward the adoption of some plan of co-operation which will result in the supply of the country being utilized in the most ef- ficient manner possible. There are enough cars to handle the country's 's business if only they shall be handled with care and efficiency. The statis- tics plainly indicate that unless they are thus handled there is going to be serious trouble. Past experiences has shown that bad car situation may be made much less bad than it otherwise would be by the exercise of foresight and energy on the part of the railways and shippers, and by prompt and friendly cooperation be- tween them

'The statistics regarding the freight cor situation on August 1. which were issued by the American Railway As sociatton this week, are the most ;ominous that ever were compiled for the nrst week In August says the Hallway Ase Gazette in its curren is- quo. ss
 They indicate clearly that unless there h aome unexpected and radical changs in commercial. industrial and uansportaticn Conditions the railways and tho shippiug public will have to deal this fall and winter with one Sf the wor1t shortages of freight cars in the history of the United States The nross car shortage reported on Aug. n, 1918. is the largest. the gross sur plus is tho smallest and the net sur plus is tho smallest ever reported on that date since statistics regarding these m4tteru have. been kept The nst srrplus was only 1e,e cars.

ou,en eI;x.b.th,. Coal.

Queen Elizabeth was the first Eng fish monarch to realize the value of the coal mines as state owned mono poly. She obtained a lease of all the Durham fields for ECO a year. and then proceeded to manipulate corner in coals with much success. She annexed the private pits of the Percys when they were profitably developing them selves and only consented after time to allow them small percentage on their own stuff. She chartered com pany in Newcastle as virtual monopo- lists in the sale of Northumbrian coal to shippers and so engineered matters that the lord mayor of London formal. ly complained that Newcastle freemens rights had been bartered away to a monopoly and begged for some lfmita- tion to the price, which had now been forced up to a pound q chaldron. Coal had previously been sold in London at 4 shillings a chaldron. - Pearson's Weekly.

"I believe" the occasional phil0so- pher said. that there may be such a thing >as the negative egotist. I mean by this a person so modest about his own merits that his self depreciation may be a kind of egotism turned in- side out. I am not sure whether this Is q form of egotism that is to be. con demned or condoled. We all have a touch of it at times. For instance, we may feeia painful degree of humanity about a grease spot on our clothes or q splash of mud on our shoes, and the pain of this humility consists largely in the thought that large part of the world has It's eyes fixed firmly on that grease spot or that splash of mud. The egotistical part of this humanity, of course, is in the idea that 30 many persons are likely to take note of a defect in our attire. It is quite evi- Sent that distress of this kind can ex- list only where certain amount Of pride about appearances is kept alive Indianapolis News.
