Cotton Buyers Say Small Bales With Excessive Bafging WC1 not Bring ' Full Pries on the Market. ..The Tribune learns that the cotton, buyers of the city are objecting very seriously to the tendency among the ginners and farmers to put up light bales with an excessive amount of bagging on them. The buyers say the mills for which they buy declare, that, if this practice is .continued this fall a marked difference will be made in the; price of cotton thus put p. They saj. they will demand that the bales he inade of standard weight with the usual amount of bagging. The bales should weigh not less than 450 pounds. We wish te call the attention ox the ginners and farmers to the attitude twf the mills on this matter. It is ear nestly hoped that any friction which woald hurt Concord as a cotton mar key .may be avoided, , Such friction always means a loss to trade, and con sequent injury to the city. . Concord has always been one of the best cot ton: markets in the State. . An Anomaly in the Grape Line. Dr. D. G. Caldwell brought to pur office this morning - a number of bunches of Brighton grapes, which show an unusual and anomalous con dition. On each bunch there are sev eral grapes which are larger than this grape is usually, while all the others are-very small, a little smaller than the grapes of the Delaware variety. This is true of all the clusters on the vine, and not of a few bunches only, " The strange part of it is that the small grapes have no seeds at all. 7. Now if Col. Wade Harris insists on awarding us the 1911 Mendacity Medal for this story, we will stand a lawsuit before we will accept; it, as all the facts in the case are on our side.

' The Mooresville Picnic, The sixteenth annual picnic held at Mooresville Thursday, benefit Presby terian Orphans' Home at Barium springs, was one of the most successful events ever pulled off.

Peerless ; One" Chucked ' Bodily "" rrom Party in Kebmka, V Grand Island, Neb Dupatch, 27th. William Jennings Bryan, of 18 years the leader of the Democratic party in Nebraska and a national fig ure in Democratic politics, was liter ally thrown out of, his party here when the State , Democratic conven tion refused to insert Bryan's county option plank in the party platform. ine convention rejected the plank by the vote of 198 to 647. It was the greatest oolitical h-n in the history of Nebraska. . Bryan, for years the idol of his party, was eursed and called a liar by opposition orators, and the delegates cheered men who denounced the old leader. Th "Peerless One" was utterly crushed by the action of his party. "I expected it" was all he would say after the convention, which did not close until 1:30 o'clock this morning. Bryan had been placed on the com mittee on resolutions, v He brought into the convention a minority report for the adoption of a conntv ontinn plank. - Bryan's resolution on the liquor question was: "We favor county op tion as the best method of dealing with the liquor question." . On this resolution Bryan made the speech that. was expected to swing the convention to his favor. But when he arose to talk he knew he was beaten.' He spoke for an hour and a half. His spech was a plea to the Democratic party to save it self. He dealt with the mistakes the party had made nd warned it not to make the mistake of avoiding the liquor question. At the close of the address Bryan intimated that he was through with directing the party. He stated that he had put the question up to them, but thye had turned him down and but they had turned him down and now they could take the consequences. The sentiment today is that Bryan is out forever with the Democratic party of Nebraska. Extravagance is your neighbor's l . method of . spending money.

' Porch Party Given Thnrsday After noon in Honor ef Mrs. W. W. Stuart v - ' Mrs. M. L. Brown was hostess at a porch party given to the members of the floral Club Thursday afternoon from S to 6 o'clock in honor of one the club's members, Mrs. W. W. Stuart, who will leave Concord soon for her new home near Old Fort. The porch of the handsome Brown borne was beautifully decorated, a bugs mass of magnificent ' sun flowers forming the back ground, with great numbers of boquets of roses and Lilies and various other floral designs, at tractively displayed, eonpled with the presence of Concord matrons hand somely attired, and presented a most attractive spectacle. - - ' The guests were met at the door by the receiving party, who were as fol lows: Mesdames M. L. Brown, W. W. Stuart, D. B. Coltrane, J. F. Good- son, W. C. Houston, A. E. Lents, C W, Swink, J. C. Wadsworth, A. M. Brown, J. P. Cook, MM. Ervin, D. B. Morrison, R. A. Brown and P. B. Fetzer. Refreshments consisting of ice cream, served in half a eantalope, which rested on a huge sunflower, and cameo biscuits, were served by Mes dames J. W. Cannon, Jr- Chas. W. Easterday, Leonard Brown, L. A. Brown and Misses Kate Morrison, Maude Brown and Jenn Coltrane. The reception was one of the most delightful social events of the season and from 50 to 60 guests called during the afternoon. There is a little indication that the tangle in the Sixth district may be straightened out. This is where two Democratic candidates are running, both claiming to be the regular nomi nee. Mr. Godwin, the present incum bent, whose friends bolted the regu lar convention, has made overtures to Mr. Clark, proposing they go into a primary and see who ehall run. This Mr. Clark declines to do, but the in cident shows that an adjustment may be made before it is too late. Address makes opportunities, the want of it gives them. . sale price. .$1.19 99c thread linen sale price 79c Jy, charity is 2 ell a c a t' cre ii i' t tr U
