William Jones, colored, who con-
ducts a small farm in Fairfax County,
several miles west of Alexandria, on
July went to the establishment of
the Bryant Fertilizer Company and
bought and paid for two sacks of fer
tilizer for his farm at a cost Of $iN5
and through some error he received
two tons of the fertilizer. Jones was
very thankful for the mistake and
used every bit of the fertilizer on his
farm which is evidenced by fine crops.
However, the fertilizer company val
ued its goods at $50 and wanted the
difference between what he had paid
and the foregoing amount. Jones,
however, did not think errors of this
sort should be corrected with cash
and finally a representative of the
company had him cited into the Po-
lice Court today Jones admitted the
transaction. but declined to reimburse
the company or its Representative and
Justice Cation committed him to jail
for ten days or until he decided what
he is going to do about the matter.

Alexandria. Va, Aug. 23.-Joseph L.
Crupper, a prominent Republican and
former state treasurer of that party.
In addressing a number of Republi-
cans Of this city tonight at the Hotel
Rammel, who met to select delegates
to the state convention which viii
meet in Roanoke next Thursday, ex-
pressed himself as opposed to any ref
erence 10 the liquor question at this
convention. The liquor question. he
declared. has been settled by the peo-
pie. Mr.. Crupper expressed himself
In favor of a reduction Of taxation
by the elimination OF a number of
state officers and also the fee system,
and he also favored a longer term
and better primary schools.
The speaker said there would be
good vote polled in the November
election. He said there would be
number of candidates for governor
and also for various other State Of
hces. among whom are Munsey, of
Bland county; Hoge. OF Roanoke; Hsr-
mon. of Tazwell. and Lincoln, Of
Smyth county.
Mr.. Crupper further stated that he
did not think WestmoreIand Davis,
Democratic nominee for governor,
would attempt to set aside the liquor
laws passed by a majority of the
voters. The Republicans, he declared,
lost their opportunity on this measure
at Newport News in 1903.
The meeting was presided over by
John U. Schwarzmann, city chairman,
and David E. Robey acted as secre-
tary. The following were elected dele
gates TO the state convention in Roa-
noke, which meets next Thursday:
John L. Schwarzmann, D. E. Robey.
Charles Dean, Thomas H. Bayne. VIII
lard P. Graves, W. H. P. Kelly and
Martin E. Greene.
Those named as alternates are:
Spencer A. Forrest. Joseph B. Ewald,
William H. Robinson, Charles F. Dow
ney. Raymond E. Grover, Charles c.
Dobie and William H. Pettey.
The members OF the local exemption
board today stated that its failure
TO furnish exemption blanks Is due TO
the fact that the War Department has
refused TO furnish the board any more
blanks. Members of the local board
are notifying applicants that they may
write them or have same written for
them.
In connection with this, G. H. Ruck-
er, chairman of the local exemption
board, today received a letter from
Ad1t Gen. w. W. Sale, of the State
militia, in which he stated that no
more blanks for exemption claims are
furnished free by the government. The
writer states that claimants must
copy such from form book No. 100,
or obtain them through local printers
or stationers.

CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION
ELECTIOE.

On Saturday of this week the
18th inst, the people Of Henderson
county will vote whether or not
Tennessee shall hold a convention
for the purpose Of making a new
State constitution.
The PROGRESS has not presumed
| to dictate how any man shall vote,
but while knowing that our consti-
tuition needs amending in several
particulars. we have decided that
THE tine is inopportune and have
made up our mind to vote Against
a Convention" on Saturday.
We can and will also frankly ad-
init that the eagerness Of the cities
for a convention has made us slow
er to take hold---for we are afraid Of
| the cities. We believe the only
chance for the proposition to carry
next Saturday will by big votes
cast affirmatively in the cities and
the country sleeping on their rights.
| We believe that our people, Demo-
Gratis and Republicans are largely
against holding a constitutional con-
vention until a more settled time
shall come.

People in this county are dispos-
ed to believe that the most foolish
and unreasonable proposition ever
made in either branch Of the Con-
gress of the United States, is to fix
the minimum price of wheat at
$200'per bushel--an action which
would show no consideration for
the laboring classes whose wages
never 90 up in keeping with the
cost of living. If $500 were the
minimum price for wheat the fixed
stars would be the maximum--un-
less some way to restrain the sIec-
