Ambitions and Prospects of Men Strutting and Fretting Their Hour on the Stage. (By special wire to The Argus.) Washington, D. C, Nov. 5. There is some talk of making Con gressman J. A. M. Adair, of Indiana, the Democratic candidate for governor of his State. As was predicted for some time Gov. Fred M. Warner has announced that he will be a candidate for a third term as governor of Michigan. It now looks as though Chicago and Kansas City will fight it out for both the Republican and Democratic nation al conventions next year. Political estimates of Champ Clark assert that he will not be a candidate for the governorship of Missouri, and add that he desires nothing else in a political way at the present time but another term in Congress. H. Dudley Coleman, of New Orleans, has been named as candidate for gov ernor of Louisiana by the so-called "Black and Tan" faction of the Repub lican party in that State. A full State ticket has been named. Representative James E. Watson, the Republican "whip" in the House, has announced his determination to retire from Congress and compete for the Republican nomination for govern or of Indiana. Four Democratic national conven tions have been held in Chicago, that of 1864, when McClellan was nomi nated; of 1884, when Cleveland was nominated the first time; of 1892, when he was nominated the last time, and of 1896, when Bryan was first nominated. Congressman John J. Esch, of Wis consin, whose long and faithful service in the House gives weight to his opin ions, does not believe Congress will take any important action relative to the improvement of the Mississippi next year. That within a year the South will be leading the North in prohibition senti ment is the prediction made by Charles R. Jones, national chairman of the prohibition party, who recently com pleted an extensive tour of the South em States. F. Q. Stuart, of Shreveport, La., is responsible for the launching of a new party and a new Presidential candi- dater Mr. Stuart himself is the candi date and the party is called the Ameri can Equity League, or League of Equal Freedom. A special congressional election will be held December 17 in the Ninth dis- trict of Virginia, for the purpose of naming a successor to the late Colonel Campbell Slemp. Colonel Siemp was the only Republican member of the "Virginia delegation in Congress. The Democrats are now preparing to make strong fight to wrest the district from the Republicans and send a full dele gation to Washington. Though it may seem strange at the present time, no city of the country has entertained so many national political conventions as Baltimore. In 1832 the first national convention was held by American political parties, and it is a striking proof of the central location of Baltimore at that time that the three conventions of that year were held in that city. The last convention held in Baltimore was in 1872, when the Dem ocrats met there and nominated Horace Greely. Philadelphia has had but four of the larger national political conventions. The Whigs met there in 1848, and the Republicans in 1856, the first year they had a Presidential ticket in the field. Then came a long inter val,-4he Repub licans meeting there in 1872 to renomi nate Grant. The last Philadelphia convention was the Republican con vention of 1900, which renominated McKinley and placed Roosevelt on the ticket as his running mate. JEWISH WOMEN MEET. TO-DAY'S MARKET.

Women of the Hebrew Race From Var ious Parts of the Country As sembled in Norfolk V To-day. (By special wire to The Argtjs.) Norfolk, "Va., Nov. 4 Prominent women of the Hebrew race from var ious parts of the country assembled in Norfolk today for the purpose of tak ing part in the sessions of the National Council of Jewish Women. Mrs. Hugo Rosenberg is president of the council and will preside at the meetings, which will be held in the exposition auditor ium, the Jewish temple and the Hotel Fairfax. Headquarters for the dele gates have been established at the Monticello Hotel. In fifty-five American eities there are sections of the Natianal Council of Jewish Women. There are also nine teen" junior sections.

WORK CURTAILMENT. New Bern Sun. It is a matter for general regret that the Norfolk fc Southern Railway has found it necessary to reduce the work ing force in their shops, and in other branches of their work. It has develop ed that there is to be a reduction in the shop and maintenance of ways forces all along the line, of about 50 per cent. The stringency of money is given as the cause, and the hope is held out that this will not be for long. This con dition exists, not only with the Nor folk & Southern, but with many of the large systems throughout the country. The Atlantic Coast Line shops at Rocky Mount have been operating with a depleted force for sometime and it is learned they are about ready to resume full operations. The Pennsyl vania system is just now reducing its forces for the same reason the Norfolk & Southern is practicing retrenchment. Rumors were rife about New Bern Friday afternoon and yesterday as to what was going to take place, and there was no little excitement. This was augmented by the simple an nouncement posted in the shops here Friday, that there would be a practi cal shut down until Monday, without a word of explanation. Had the rail road people seen fit to state the actual conditions and their intentions, much wild talk and alarm would have been prevented. The Sun hopes and believes the cur tailment is only temporary, and that within a short time a full quota of men will be regularly in their places again.

The Democratic Leader Analyses The President's Extra Session Motives. (By special wire to The Argus.) Washington, Nov. 4. John Sharp Williams, in an interview ... he today says, "all this talk about extra session of Congress to deal with financial qnes tions is for the purpose of having the way for unusual legislation wmcn President Roosevelt intends to recom mend at the regular session in Decern- ber."

Get your Christmas Presents Cheaper than ever before THE KNOWLEDGE THAT COUNTS. It's The Lessons W Learn lit Every day Hard Work That RSaktt Us Successful. Mr. R. J. Reynolds, President and founder of the largest manufacturing plant East of the Mississippi, belong to that class of men whose success in lilel as been due to their own energy and indus' ry, though the circumstances of Mr. Reynold's boyhood afforded him a sound basis upon which to build. He was endowed by nature with health and strength, full of energy and ambitious, while yet a tender age, to lead in whatever he undertook. His father, a large planter and manufac turer in Patrick County, Virginia, made his yearly contracts with his labortis en the condition that they kept up with young " Dick." Even as a boy, Mr. Reynolds was never contented unless in some way employed. He found pleasure in tasks that others found too tedious or burdensome. Mr. Reynolds, while in his teens, planted, cultivated, cured, manufactured and worked in every department of the manu facture, and had successfully held the position of manager of a factory. In the year 1875, hardly more than a boy, he was manufacturing tobacco under the name of R. J. Reynolds & Co., in a very small factory at Winston, N. C. The methods and processes of manu facturing tobacco in those days were very crude. Other men were content with the machinery, processes and methods in use. Mr. Reynolds, and the men associated with him, worked out by experiment, the reasons for the prevailing methods, and by the help of the skilled men in charge of the various departments of the manufac turing plant, they invented, perfected and adopted improved machinery and pro cesses, until today the flat plug tobacco industry has been completely revolution ized, and the R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company is known as the largest, best equipped and cleanest flat plug tobacco manufacturing plant in the world. They now also own, for which a patent has been applied, the great discovery of a process for the manufacture of their new brand REFINED granulated smoking tobacco. It was discovered by eminent scientists and their experts on tobacco. After many years of study and experiment they found out how to produce the most delightful and harmless tobacco for pipe and cigarette smokers. It is proving a great favorite with smokers. A visit to the now mammoth plant of R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Co., proves not more interesting to the seeker for infor. mation and an insight into the tobacco manufacturing industry, than to the stu dent of the labor problem. The visitor cannot but be impressed by the utmost harmony and good feeling which prevails between the employer and employed. Strikes and other disagreements and labor agitations are unknown. Good hours and good wages, entirely acceptable to the employees, have always been al lowed, which is fully manifested in the unusually large number of employees who started in with Mr. Reynolds many years ago and have never found it ner -psary to demand higher wages or to lea've the em ploy of his company. Many of the heads of the various departments started in the business as boys and grew up under Mr. Reynolds' tutorship. With their ever in creasing knowledge of tobacco, they de veloped into experts, and have brought into the business vigor and improvement. R. J. Reynolds Tobacco Company's plant of Winston-Salem, N. C'.r U. 3. A., stands a visible proof of foresight, united effort, untiring energy and the insistence upon tail dealing by its founder. A Telephone IN Your Home!
