"WET PROHIBITION PARTY
Ehrhardt Glee Club Holds COnven-
ton.

Ehrhardt, Sept. 24.-The wet
Prohibitionist party" met in conven-
ton here today. The party is con-
sidered a product of the almost uni
versal unrest prevailing at present.
DELEGATES were present from all Sec
tions. The main plank of the plat
form advocates giving all factions
their several desires, as the only rem
edy for the present abnormal condi-
tions. The main plank of the plat
form is as follows: eve indorse the
absolute w. J. Bryan prohibition with
a reservation of unlimited privileges
to those persons using alcoholic beV-
erages prior to January 1, 1900
AS justification of the foregoing
plank, the wet Prohibitionists point
out that the same method was used
by the baseball commisson with al
most complete satisfaction, in dealing
with the spitball delivery.
The most unusual aspect OF con-
vention without candidates, was pre-
sented. No one man could be found
TO serve who represented all issues.
The I. w. W. was the chief stun
bling block. That was finally done
away with without protest, as the
I. w. w. were thrown out of the con-
vention. This was rendered easy by
the fact that they had neglected to
send delegate.
After the purging mentioned above
Vernon Stanley's name was mention
ed as a possible candidate for the
Presidential nomination. The motion
was Immediately seconded. His
chances are regarded as good, for ne
is assured of at least three votes in
Guiding his own.
At this point an adjournment was
voted to allow the local police force
to add to their collection of firearms
and to give the delegates an opportu-
nifty to pay their respects to the judge.
The date of the next meeting, to
conclude business, will be decided
when it is known whether the vaca-
tions granted will be for thirty or
sixty days.
So a. not to cause hard feelings
among the Republicans there is talk
of offering Mr.. Harding the nomina-
ton for vice president.

SHOE POLISH CAUSES ILLNESS.
Strange Case of Poisoning Reported
From Milledgeville.

Milledgeville, Ca, Sept. 81
Young E. B. Smith, Jr., son of Mr..
and Mrs. E. B. Smith, residents of this
city, is now recovering from a Pc
culiar illness yrought about Tuesday
morning by the application Of polish
to his shoes. The boy, who is twelve
years of age, before going to school
early in the morning, took occasion
to use a tan colored polish on pair
of white canvas shoes he was wearing.
The polish soaked the coarse cloth
of which the shoes were made and
the poison contained in the polish was
taken up externally into the system.
Shortly before ten o'clock the same
morning while sitting in the class
room, the child showed signs Of be-
coming i'll. Paleness of the face was
noticed by the teacher and within a
few minutes of recess the little fellow
fell upon the ground in tainted con-
dition. A physician was summoned
and treatment administered.
Later in the day the mother of the
child, after he was taken to the home,
conceived the idea that the child had
not responded to the treatment given
him. The physician was again sum-
moned and found the child confronted
with difficult respiration and an alb
normal pulse.
Upon further Investigation the ply
sician took notice of the fact that the
child's feet had been stained, which
discovery led to the cause of the
serious illness. The conclusion was
soon reached that the little fellow was
suffering from being poisoned by the
absorption of benzoic acid contained
in the shoe polish.
Until today the child was held un-
der steady treatment and confined to
his bed and the peculiar cause of the
illness has caused much comment by
local physicians and others here.

MISTRIAL IN BRANT-CONE CASE.
Jury in Allendale Fails to Agree in
Double killing Affair.

The session of the court of general
sessions continued through Saturday
of last week, the following cases being
disposed Of: John and Earl Brant,
charged with murder, mistrial; Julius
Smith, violation of the prohibition
law, guilty, sentenced to one year on
the chain gang with eight months of
the sentence suspended during good
behavior; Halcott Ash, assault and
battery with intent to kill and carry
ing concealed weapons, found not
guilty; Chandler Smalls, violation of
the prohibition law, not guilty. The
case of R. w. Youmans was called but
was continued upon motion that he
be committed to the insane asylum
due to his condition and as recon-
mended by DR.. Williams Of the state
hospital, who stated that in his opin-
ion Youmans was insane.
The case of Joshua Williams charg-
ed with murder was also on docket
but was continued on account of the
condition of the accused.
The trial of the Brant case con-
sumed about three days and was
probably the largest attended and the
most interesting case ever tried in
this county because of the promi-
nence and large connections of the
accused and the two men they are
alleged to have shot. The defense
set up a plea of self-defense, also
alleging that John Brant shot both
the Cone men, Earl Brant not shoot
ing, in reply to the state testimony
that John Brant shot Aubrey Cone
and Earl Brant shot Allie Cone.
A weeks session of the court of
common pleas began on Monday last
with Judge Peurifoy presiding. Cases
of. interest that have come up are:
Bennett VS.. Bates, ct al, verdict dl-
rected for defendant by Judge Peu-
rifoy; Moody, ct al, VS.. H. A. Moody,
ct al, non-suit ordered by judge.
This is the last week of court. The
docket Of civil and criminal cases is
by no means cleared, however, AL
lendalG Citizen.
