Together they will make a sorry mess of the thing and it is an open secret here that among the leaders of the republican party they are not break ing their tear wells over the tliinir and do not give a continental how badlv Koosevelt is defeated. The truth of the matter, however, is that the President was perfectly satisfied that he had all the old fatfrying 11 publicans placed in a corner and knocked out to a linish so far as the anipaign fund is concerned, because CarneL'ic had asrieed to put up a million dollars and he had fnriiiei feathered his nest in the Panama anal ileal to tile extent of several more millions for the campaign fund, which gart1 him all he really needed, or at least thinks he may need, and lie therefore became very cocky, lie now propusos to run things as lie ileuses anil Will rellise to take tlie lying suggestion of that primv of practical politicians, Matthew Stan ley titay, that the selection cl t (ir- vou for chairman ol the republi can national committee was an oirie- ioitd blunder, lie intends to run things 111 his ow n way by placing this new and uulledged politician al the head of thin;;s, thinking thereby to foul tlie people into believing that lli' cares Holding at ail for the cam 'aign cimtribiitiiiin thai could be arncrcd by the til .1 timers in th game or politics, tnat lie is going to run t.iing.i 0:1 a biuc plane him uoi ,'oiiig io Inn i' a iMnuev iMii'jiaig:,. l'lie tint:; is that, iie has all I he money !! mc,:s troiu the I :'caii .a ini'.l deal ami i'roui ( ,',irne::i.- and by, !ai .-' f "orlelvoii 111 comm.ii.Jra; .ir.M.y, h.- v-1 ! 1 coclm t !.:.. 0,1 ,. ,a.up.:i;;.i ia n n v.av. iietMin:.- e l.s I " il llig tile v liele people.

The leaders of the democratic; ut v here are rejoicing over the sit uation in the state of Wisconsin. I'rom the advent here of a delegation from the LaFollette faction of the republicans of the Hadgcr state, it is learned certainly that there can be no peace, in that state unless that faction is reorganized as the icpubli- au party of the state. J his tm President refused to do. If he had lone so, he would immediately cm- broil himself with Senators Mpoonei iiidtjuarles and the leaders of the so-culled stalwarts of the party 111 Wisconsin. Therefore, he is between the devil and the deep blue sea and the chance of the stale of Wisconsin tiding democratic electors to the electoral college next winter is, iu- crcaing daily. I'nder the law and the constitu tion out in that state the electors have to divide upon which ticket their names shall be printed and as both the LaFollettc and the so-call ed stalwart factions of the republi cans each have nominated the same presidential electors, thinking there by to head off the democrats on the national ticket at least, the rub conies in. It now is a case of "I nder which King, lie.onian, speak or die!" Let the good work go 0:1 and we have them licked to a standstill, not alone 011 the iiiestiou of presidential electors, but on a number of Con gressmen us well. The weakness and strength of lite men the demo crats are going after in tliat state have uot yet developed, but will very soon. .is an oniccr of the Democratic C'otigrcj dional Committee I do not at this time purpose to give uway our hand Ui the enemy, ftullioe it to say that the II n. Joseph Weeks Han cock, the chairman of the Republi can Congressional Committee, the hero of so many congressional vic tories for the republican party, is marked for shumhter 111 that state and we are going to hang his oflicia' scalp ut the democratic wampum next November. And there me other. Watch the democratic smoke from now on. Wisconsin is our meat. Tiic situation in the stale of Illi nois also gives great joy to the demo cratic heart that bents in unison with that of the entire country, ulbeit it beats close to the capital of the n.i- nion. i nfewarring Tactions m mar 1 MpUs in the republican party ,-iv J promise of rust: I U that are devoutly to be wished by all true democrats in tlie con nil v.

Whatever licit conclusion may be it will have enough sore spots to do incalculable damage to the repub lican i:aly in that stale and gie to us not only the state ollicers, but I he iiaiional electors. If Yates, wins, he will be knifed unmercifully. If the ot her side w ins, the Ynlcs machine w ill be ins! fin-ted by the boss to take a smash al the whole works and the usiiit will be chaos f.ir the republi cans and i iciory for the democrats, in other wolds, 'whether h'odcrigo kill !'as.-io, or.Ua-sio kill lioderign, it nil makes for our good." We not only v. ill carry the stale ticket to victory and the national electors, but there will be some scry lianiLmin" pickings in t he different, congression al districts. Thiags look rosy in the sucker statu for the democracy.

The proportion between t lie sever al elements of plant food of stable manure and those of the commercial must, however, be the same.

I noticed in last week's issue where some one was writing about the num ber of bales of cotton raised in lian dulph county, and said "in an aver age year less than one thousand hales wei-2 raised.'' He left out New Hope township where quite a number of farmers plant cotton, but we did not think that the number of bales rais ed in Randolph, if un,average weight of 450 lbs. would hardly reach the one hundred notch. I hardly think there will be much over that raised this year, although there is quite an increase in acreage with line pros pects where the cotton was planted early. Ramsctir Items.

Karly in the contest tor the nomination for Cov- ernor these letters declared that, the iispirats being confined to that quar tette of eminent, able und deserving men, it was impossible tor the con veiition to go wrong or to make 1 mistake. In choosing "liob" Glenn (and he loves to hear the "boys" cull him "liob," just us that best beloved of all North Ciirolinaus accepted the affectionate designation of "Zeb") the convention undoubtedly selected the man whom the majority of Un delegates favored and therefore did anything but make a mistake. He will make North Carolina one of the most brilliant und able governors in the State's history, and all Demo crats can and will vote for him cheerfully and gladly. For the first time m great many years personal popularity und the recognition of individual ability and merit was the utmost sole uetcrnnn ing factor. No question of so-culled "availability" entered into the calcu lation. No "combinations (through which so many men who were the choice ot the people have been do- teated by the machinations of the politicians) played any part (to speak of,) and the buldozer and local petty boss was less in evidence than form erly. Mr Glenn has every reason to lie proud or his victory; for there is not a man in the State whom it would have been liardet to defeat than the gallant and able gentleman from Guilford who proved to be so worthy of the steel'' of the victor. THK "STKDMAX STICKKKS." No man in any convention, in North Carolina or elsewhere, every hail a more devoted bund of followers, than the 420 uclcgatts that went into this convention with the hope ot nominating that grand and lovable and beloved gentleman, and their intense loyalty and enthusiastic uud unfaltering support to the "last ditch" was a tribute such but few men iu this would merit and receive. It was the crowning glory of that rami old mans brilliant career md beautiful life, aud it has been given to Major Stediiuin the price less privileges of realizing that there; is something better and nobler and sweeter and more enduring than temporal political advancement, ror what greater tribute could be paid any man than to show to him that so Hutu y representative follower (more than one-third of the convention) md personal admirers would lay town their lives tor their trieiul. A liltKAT Cl'.NVKNTIOX. It was the greatest convention, es pecially in point of attendance, ever held 111 this State. In addition to the 1,250 delegates there were sever- il hundred alternates 011 hand, muk- ing altogether about 2,000 duly ac credited representatives from all of the 07 counties of the State. Jle- sides these there were hundreds of it hers accorded admission oil the Moor, including (it really seemed) nearly all the prominent party men in the State, leading; newspaper men mil others. Unwieldy at times it was of course. lint it was not "disorderly" iu the -minium acceptation of that term. What appal cut disorder was due hiellv to the enthusiasm of the Glenn and Stednuin supporters. A stranger, judging u'.one from the scenes and demonstrations of the champions of the live leading candi dates during the progiess of the live ballots taken (which, the balloting and the demonstrations, consumed the entire night, from !l p. ni. to G a. 111.) could not have learned which of them had the most votes. Following is the vote on euch ballot: First ballot: Glenn, 5o2; Sted 1111111, 420; Davidson, 15H; Turner: llii. Second: Glenn, 5(10; Sted man, 420; Davidson, 142; Turner, 121. Third: Glenn, 5!U; Stedinun, 410; Davidson, Turner, U2. Fourth: Glenn, (it)7; Stedinun, 458; Davidson, lUt, Turner, 72. Fifth: Glenn, (if;); Stedman, 417; Davidson, 1 11; Turner, till. Mr Glenn receiv ing 27 votes more than the necessary majority on this ballot, his nomina tion was later made uminimous. on motion of Stednuin and Turner man agers, Messrs ltrooks and Hartness. Judge Frank Winston's nomina tion for Lieut-Governor was a walk over. He received 805 votes on the lirst ballot, Hon George L Morton getting 212 and Senator Joe A lliown, of Colu.nbus, 232. The lat ter was not really a candidate, though he was prevailed upon less than a week before the convention met to allow the use of his name. Most of the delegates had then been either instructed or pledget), and the nice vote he received under those circumstances- was high tribute to him for "Joe" Brown is one of the best and truest men in North Caro lina, and deserving of any honor within the gift of the party he bus served so long and so well and so un selfishly. Cororulion Commissioner Sam L Kogers and Commissioner of Agricul ture S. L Patterson laid out the op pillion to their re-nomination with out much trouble, although tome of the wire-pullers tried to work little combination at their expense. Mr Itoger received 848 votes and Mr S il Alexander 396. Mr Patterson was aboftt to win by a very comfortable majority, but when the roll-cali was not half through his opponent, Mr (lower, of Johnston, arose and with drew from th contest, and in do ing so added that he would be can didate again in 1908, and hoped to be nominated then. All the other executive State ollicers were re-nominated without opposition. liKI.EflATES TO ST. LOUP DIVIDED, Eight gentlemen were placed in nomination for delegates to the na tional convention and it was agreed that the four receiving the highest votes should go as delegates and the other four us alternates. Julian 8 Carr, Locke Craig, John E Woodard and E J Hah; were elected delegates, and Cy P Watson, Kopo Elias, J A Lockhurt and C 0 McMichael, al ternates. All will go to St Louis, leaving next Saturday, via Southern Kail way. As luo "unit rule" has been adopt ed it cannot be accurately predicted how the N C delegation will vote on the nomination of a candidate for president. In the above list there arc ut least three, if not four, who arc great admirers of Mr Cleveland and who are said to share in the growing opinion that the only living man who Las presided at the White House, except the present occupant is the one with whom the democrats would this year be more certain to defeat ltoosevelt. There are several orhers of like mind among the dis trict delegates. Hut if J udge Parker shows up well our delegation will probubly vote for him, at the out set. Senator Gorman also has a number of strong friends among the N C delegates. THE ".srEI.LMXDKKS KNOCKED OUT. North Carolina has its full quota of small-bore and medium-calibre politicians, self-convicted of "great ness." Some of them are so heavily charged with egotism that it has be come one of the local wonders that they did not blow themselves into pieces last week, after being denied the hitherto customary "privilege of shooting off their mouths at the expense of the patience and comfort of the convention. Great was their indignation! Hut a convention that refused to listen to the ablv nrenared address of the party's state chairman; that howled down its presiding ollicer, and guyed for half un hour (and un til he took ins seat) the man who had shortly before nominated the winning candidate for the guberna torial nomination, was in no humor to listen to attempted tcrades from the 'spellbinders and not one of them was allowed to impose on this year's convention, although num ber stood ready uud eager, loaded to the muzzle. Governor Aycock was the only man accorded a respectful hearing and his wonderful eloquence was partly responsible, for that, though the Go'.ernor holds a large place in the affections of the peoplo 01 N C. And it was a great speech, that took about all the wind out of the sails of those who were encouraging an effort to withhold an endorsement of the Governor's universal education policy and record. Senator Simmons, at the request of the State Committee, has agreed to continue as State Chuirmun, at least for the present. Llewxam. A Modern Plant Myrtle Desk Co.
