all college heads on hand except Presi-

The conference had been invited by
Mr. Blakeslee with view to forming
some definite and central outline for
the upbuilding Of a comprehensive dis
play of the educational progress of the
state throughout the century of its ex.
istence.
1t is the expectation Of the exposi-

on agriculture and its allied features
during the statehood of Mississippi,
and to make the great work of educa.
tional progress fully as interesting and
comprehensive. The educational
world Of Mississippi has just cause
for pride in the progress of the educa-
tional machinery especially during the
past decade of the states history, dur
ing which those powerful adjuncts, the
agricultural high school and the con-
solidated rural school, has come to be
developed.

Grace Tuesday was so fragrant that

Before you entered the building
where the voting was going on, In

three large pictures of local demo

was another picture OF Woodrow VIII
son; turning to shut the door was
another picture; Immediately facing
the receiving judges were three other
Woodrow Wilson pictures, and near
one tier OF booths on the south side
of the building was still another.

cast the counting judges started in
the same room and as fast as the
results as to the standing OF some
candidates were known. the public
knew Of 1t In a very short time after

WILSON AND MARSHALL
NOMINATED BY ACCuMATION

At the Democratic National
Convention in st. Louis last night
at 1852 o'clock Woodrow Wilson
was re-nominated by acclimation,
as was also vice-president, Thos.
R. Marshall.
After Judge Westcott of New
Jersey had placed the president
in denomination, on motion of
Senator Hughes, the rules were
suspended and no ballots were
taken-the delegates simply
roared AYE" when the names of
Wilson and Marshall were called.
Robert E. Burke, of Illinois,
raised the only voice in opposi.
sition, declaring he would not
vote for the president. He was
elected an independent.
The utmost harmony prevailed
throughout the entire session
and this same spirit of harmony
bids fair to prevail in the coming
election.
