Colonel Rootevelt's nomination

Democrats, so greatly weaken Mr,
Tafi's hold upon the rank and file

will likely make him the le im

"The members of this

nether with Jeff Fisher, whose
body was recovered, still rests in
the bed of Oatawba river. Can
non's body was located late Sat
urday Afternoon and today an ef
fort was made to bring it to the
surfaoe. Urapplicg hoods were
used and when it was started from
the bottom of the river the man's
shirt tare loose and the body - evi
dently floated off down the
stream.
Searching parties have lined
the river banks all day but when
darkness came on this evening the
body was still in the water. Par
ties are watching the shoals below
where the man was drowned so
that if the body should float down
it can be rescued ...
The hole where the two - men
lost their lives is something like
20 feet deep, 80 feet wide and 75
feet long. It has long been
known as a tresoherous place and
the young men evidently had for-
gotten about it or they would not
have ventured so near.

Rev . Henry M. Wharton, pasr
of Branttev Baptist ohuroh, of

opening of the Democratic con

noon, and here is what he said, as
reported by the papers?
VWe have reached the time in
the history of this convention
when of all other Thy wisdom is
most needed
"The affairs of our government
seem about to pass to other hands
and will it please Thee that they
may aooept the tremendous . re
sponsibility and discharge t the
trust that shall be given onto their i
Bands with sincerity and With
'conscientious performance of duty
and we pray Thee that Thou wilt
guide the oounoils of this hour in
he seleotion of a candidate for the
presidency of our great country
and that Thou wilt give us a man
who fears God, who is guided by
His word and whose heart turning
in sympathy to the great multi
tudes who daily toil for their liv-
mg ana lor tnose aear to weir
hearts.
"Wilt Thou give us a man who
will guide our ship of state out
from the ioebergs of greed and
selfishness into the high sees of
prosperity. May the olouds whioh
have darkened our skies pass away
and the muttering thunder of dis
content be heard no more for
ever.
The prediction of Democratic
auooess met with approval express
ed in an outburst of applause after
the conclusion of the prayer. .
