CONVENTIONS OF STATE DEMO,
Gratis

Early reports Of the convention o
state Democrats at Mitchell last weel
gave evidence of a big free for all row
but the stronger heads whipped things
in shape and managed to arrange the
national convention. Three were Sc
lected from each congressional dis.
trict and one at large making ten in
all.
Those selected with their alternates
are as follows:
At large, Charles F. Gunderson OF
Vermillion, alternate, Victor Terry of
Claremont.
First District. f. McNamaree,
Miner county; u. S. G. Cherry, Mime
haha county; b. f. Morgan, Charles
Mix county. Alternates, T. l.. White,
Jerauld county; f. s. Fenzel, Douglas
county; Jacob Wagner, Bon Homme
county.
Second Distribution G. Medberry,
Beadle county; Patrick Walsh, Cod
ington county; Bert Harrington, Day
county. Alternates, Martin Ward,
Hamlin county; j. r. Chase, Brown
county, e. c. ~Stutenroth, SPHINX county.
Third District-William McClintock,
Trip county; Jack Hale, Meade coun-
ty; Fred Rowe, Stanley county. AL
ternates, Arthur C. Hewlett, Mellette
county, Ed. Stringer, Custer county;
Barney Mullen, Lawrence county.
Ruel e. Dana OF Armour was named
as the choice OF the meeting for ma
tional committeeman.
A dispatch in the Aberdeen Ameri-
can says: when the central commit
tee brought this list of delegates be-
fore the state gathering in the even
ing, the fireworks started. The state
committeeman soon saw that a ratih-
cation OF these delegates was impos-
sible and tried to compromise the stu
alton.
U. S. G. Cherry of Sioux Falls, one
of the delegates selected, p~recipitated
the fight when he presented a resolu-
ton calling for the appointment of
ive delegates by the Roch faction and
five by the Coffey-Johnson-Gandy
faction, which holds its meeting to-
morrow, these 10 delegates to call a
special mass meeting at a later date.
Then the little gray dove took its
flight precipitately.
Both factions were on their feet In
no time, The state chairman and his
cohorts would listen to no such a COM
promise.
And neither would the CoffeyGand-
sons.
For an hour and a half the fight
waged back and forth, and when
Cherry got up at 1870 and again read
his resolution and moved It's adoption
and the motion was seconded, a mo-
ton to adjourn was put before the
house and carried.

that the opinion on the British front

of the Russian armies; the arresting of
the Austrian offensive i'm Trentino; the

AMERICAN GENERAL
CALLS BLUFF MADE
BY jACINTO TREV|NO
Mexican Commander Had
Threatened to Attack Ameri-
cans If They Moved Any Di-
reCtion Except to Border

SAN ANTONIO. Tex. June 21.-Gen-
eraI Pershing has given the Mexican
troops the opportunity 10 make good
their threat to attack him if he moved
east or west but the MeXicans declined
tile issue.
The American commander sent a small
force eastward to Guzman, about thirty
five miles from his line of communica-
ton yesterday, to investigate a report
that a concentration of Mexican troops
had been made there. He reported the
incident TO General Funston today. add
ing that the detachment had returned
without finding any Mexican troops IN
that vicinity.
Remembering General Trevino's
threat TO attack tho Americans if they
moved in any out northerly direction,
officers here regarded his failure TO do
so as indicative of reluctance on his
part TO carry out his threat.
Reports 10 department Headquarters
today told of the arrival of more
troops at Ojinaga, opposite Preside and
at Piedras Negras, opposite Eagle Pass.
Beyond Ojinaga. increased activity was
noticed. but officers here believe Col
onel CASTOR, commanding the American
side has men enough TO meet the situa-
ton. The heaviest addition to the Mex
lean border army was that at Piedras
Negras, where General Aiurgia arrived
with 1000 men.
General Funston announced that to
the army's equipment here there had
been added today a large number Of
searchlights.
He was notified by the war depart
ment that detailed instructions have
been sent him for organization in this
department of four regiments of infan-
try and two cavalry regiments under
the army reorganization bill which will
become effective July 1.
The procedure will be to assign ex-
perIenced non-commissioned officers
from existing regiments to the new or
CARNATIONS TO handle the recruits, who
will be sent in from recruiting stations
IN various parts of the country.
Under the army bill. many officers
will be promoted July /, and the COM
missions in the new regiments will De

GEORGIA PEACHES SELLING
WELL IN WESTERN MARKET

1t is a peculiarly interesting fact that
according to the records Of the Georgia
Fruit Exchange an extraordinarily large
proportion of Georgias early peach crop
is going to the western markets instead
of to New York and other eastern points.
This is indicative of an increased demand
in the western territory which may have
important bearing upon the market.
Another very gratifying feature of
the peach situation to Georgia growers
this year is the fact that practically all
of the fruit to date has been sold on an
f o. b. basis, which means that cash
money is turned over to the grower be-
fore the car leaves the state. These
cash sales have been very large this
year, more so than usual with the early
fruit
There had been shipped from Georgia
up to Saturday, June II, a total of IS
cars, while the estimate of the week
through Saturday, June "a, is 125 cars.
The fruit exchange sees no reason to
make any change in it's original estimate
Of 5000 to $500 cars as the total Of the
Georgia crop.
With the return of warm weather in
New York and eastern markets there will
be a largely increasing demand in that
direction. The cold, rainy weather there
has held the market back on an early
crop, but there is every indication that
it will pick up right away and that the
New York and eastern demand will be
probably larger than ever.
The prices for early varieties have
been so far very satisfactory, and there
is every prospect that there will be
splendid demand throughout the entire
season.

Funston WithoIdS Move
Until He Hears From Front

SAN AN1ON1O, lex, June ZG.-Gen-
eral Funston's headquarters reflected
early today the unrelieved strain in the
American-Mexican situation. The night
had passed without news from General
Fershing and army officers here pro-
fessed to see a remaining chance that
war might be averted, although unwill-
ing to believe that the commander of
the American force that battled yester-
DAY with General Trevino's men at Car
rial, had been the aggressor.
Frank skepticism was aroused by the
suggestion that General Gomez might
not have been attempting to enforce the
Carranza edict by force, and it was
pointed out that his determination to
force the Americans back TO their own
line was indicated by the official admis-
sion that he had sent a messenger to
the American commander advising him
to withdraw.
General Funston spent the night in
efforts to learn more details of what
occurred at Carrizal, but in conformity
with the known attitude of the adj
ministration not to precipitate war
without orders or sufficient cause, he re.
manned steadfast in his determination
not to authorize moves that would re-
move all doubt as TO the American
armys future relations with that or

GOVERNOR HARRIS RETURNS
|. FROM COPPER HILL, Tenn.
Says Whole Face of Earth
Near Smelling Plant Is Bar
rem of All Vegetation

Governor Harris returned to the city
Tuesday night from a visit to the cop
per plant at Copper Hill, Tenn, and to
the territory in Georgia contiguous to
the Tennessee line. He made the "Trip
for the purpose of inspecting the al
legged damage to plant life by fumes
from the copper plant. and was accom-
panied by Attorney General Cliff Walker,
State Chemist r. E. Sailing and H. V.
Reed, of the state entomologist's Office.
Discussing his observations. the gov
eTnor Wednesday morning said:
THE copper plant at Copper Hill is
claimed to be the largest copper plant
in the world. L do not know as to
that, but 1 do know that it's a big
plant.
The whole face of the earth imme-
Glately adjacent to the plant is per-
fectly barren of vegetation, which was
killed off long ago by the fumes from
the copper smelteries. However, all
that land is owned b. the copper conn
pany.
when you get two and a half to
three miles away from the plant. the
evidences of damage are hardly notice
able. Occasionally you find a ravine
down which the fumes have fioated, and
tops of trees that have been killed by
the fumes. But in the main. there are
few evidences Of damage.
The damage seems to have been
greater in the past than it is at present.
The company has lately built a device
for catching the fumes when they come
from the smoke stack, and these fumes
are run through a plant and turned into
sulphuric ac'd.
Occasionally, however, the fumes gee
away, and then they do damage.
while the damage was a great deal
less than / had expected to find, do
not say there has not been any damage
at all. When the fumes get away, they
40 damage. The company seems dis
posed to pay all just claims for dam
age. and il is proper that just claims
should be paid"
The governor said he did not care to
express an opinion as to whether the
board Of arbitration under the present
contract between the state and the cop
per company is adequate to meet the
needs of the situation.

ENTHUSIASM CROWS
FOR PREPAREDNESS
PARADE ON JULY 4
Still Further Assurances OF
Support and Still More En-
IiStmentS of Divisions Re-
Ceived Tuesday Morning

Still further assurances of support
for the great preparedness parade to be
held in Atlanta the Fourth of July,
and still further enlistments of patri-
otto Atlantians and Georgians who will
march i'm the procession, were received
Tuesday morning at the meeting Of
chairmen and members of the various
committees which was held in the as
sembly hall of the chamber of COM
merce.
Like all of the meetings that have
been held in connection with the pre-
paredness parade, the meeting was
largely attended and was full of inter-
est and enthusiastic spirit.
II was decided to add to the other
divisions which are being organized a
great farmers division for the farmers
of Fulton county and of the state at
large. Cliff c. Clay, assistant commits
sioner of agriculture, was appointed
chairman of the committee in charge
OF this division, and he promised his
hearty cooperation, as well as express
ing confidence that the farmers will! be
glad to participate in the parade.
The committees agreed that it will
be particularly appropriate to have a
division of farmers in view of the fact
that the farmers were the first to spring
to arms when the American colonies de-
clared their independence.
1t was decided 10 invite the members
% the general assembly of Georgia,
which will be in session at the time
of the parade. and the state house Of
ficials and employees to form another
special division in the parade. Governor
Nat +. Harris was unanimously elected
chairman of this division and Comptrol-
Ter General William A. Wright was
elected vice chairman. With them were
elected Senator f. p. Dobbs, of the
Thirty-fifth state senatorial district, and
Representatives Spencer r. Atkinson
and r. B. Blackburn, of Fulton county.
