The Republicans voted for
two candidates for the presiden
cy: Wood and Johnson, 22 for
former and 193 for latter.
The results show that Over
man is chosen by a large ma
jority. In the race for Gover
nor Page is eliminated. Mor
rison and Gardner ran side by
side and it is not yet determin
ed who is in the load. Cooper
is in the lead for Lieut.-Gov.
Lacy, Shipman and Graham
are nominated. Hoko is nomi
nated and the race in next pri
mary will be betwoen Stacy aud
Long as it now appears. There
wfll also be a second primary to
determine the nominations for
Governor and Auditor.
From the reports the vote
"WW light in most counties
throughout the State.
It u a matter of sincere re
* gret by many jieople outside the
first Congressional district that
Congressman John H. Small
was defeated for the nomination
by Hallett S. Ward in the pri
mary4f&t Saturday. Mr. Small
been In Congress for twenty
years and had attained a com
manding position of influence,
usefulness and service. As the
chariaipiqn of the Inland Water
way he had done much aud
was destined to do greater
things yet. The people often
make the mistake of turning
dowp their congressmen who
hare given long years of faith
ful and effective servico for an
other/ who comes with fair
promises whose fruition is either
a long way off or may never l»e
realized. The present standing
of the South and of out own
State in the Congress of the
United States is in largest
measure due to the fact that
able men have been there for
long terms of years.
The Republican National Con
vention met in Chicago Tues
day. Since then, while the
platform committee has been
busy framing something to get
. through the campaign on, the
friends of the candidates have
been just as busy with the chess
board.
At this writing, Thursday,
who will be the nominee is about
as uncertain as it is certain that
neither Wood nor Johnson will
land the prize. It looks like
Lowden or Sproul. Lodge is
permanent chairman.

tury ago and dig up the mistakes
that were made then, btjt there is
where commenced the trouble that
comes up every four years to
plague the Republican Presi

whites and black and tan. The

In tho South are constantly com
■ ing to a better understanding of
1 racial relations, for between them
' is a bond of friendliness as well at
the underlying principles of fair
ness to each other. But race
| friendliness is never helped any
r by the efforts of the Republicans
l of other sections to force the negro
, into politics, presidential or any
other kind, and the intelligent
negro and the friend of the negro
; know that the differences that
aria* between the rases must be
' disposed of by the two themselves
' rather than through the iatsrfer
. enoe of a third party whose mo
. tive is to profit by any dissensions
that can be stirred up. No man
> ia a friend of the negro who coaxes
the negro into race antagonism,
or into any relation with any
white man that will result in un
friendliness between those who
live neighbors. Race antagonisms
are as old as the world, bat they
are .never helped any by cultivat
„ ifig them. The negro gets noth
ing from the Republicans in the
fight that Republican and Demo
crat are waging agaloateach other.
On the day when he understands
this and stands back and lets
Democrat and Repoblican fight

The whole list of Liberty bonds
i may now be bought upon the same
principle that investment was
i made in a small way in War Sav
i ings Stamps. The stamps were
i bought below par with a view of
» having them paid at par at raa
■ tnrity. So now the Liberty bonds
■ may be bought far below par and

■ holder will get one hundred cents

bond will pay annually $42.50 as
interest and if this interest is de
posited when the coupons are clip
ped so that it will Ite compounded
there will be another SI,OOO ac
cumulated by the time the Liberty
bond matures. Some parents are
making an investment of this kiud
for very young children so that
by the time they reach the age of
21 years they will have $2,000 of
capital available which grew out
of an investment of SB4O by the

Death to the Native*.
» The movements to modernise the
Eskimo by providing him with con
crete hut* In place of his plcture*qus
snow Igloo*, as suggested by an offi
cial of the United States bureau of
fisheries, would be the death of the
d«nlzens of the Icy North, In the opin
ion of Vllhjalmur Stefansson, the arc
tic explorer. Not only Is the Eskimo
devoted to his age-long habitation, as
the South sea Islanders are to their
traditional garb of flower garlands and
fresh smiles, but he Is far healthier,
warmer and more comfortable In his
domed mansion of snow blocks than
he could be in any modern house of
concrete. 7?
The statement that the natives of
the Prlbllof Wands were about to dis
card their snow huts for modern con
crete huts, finding the gales of the
Bering sea too strong Tor the former,
upon which the story of the Intended
change of Eskimo habits was based,
Mr. Stefansson characterized as too
silly for discussion. The explorer, talk
ing at his headquarters at the National
Geographical society building at New
Tork, said that the Prlbllof islanders
had never lived In snow huts, but In
wooden hats, and that farther north,
where the natives do live In snow
houses, It would be next to Impossible
to convert them to any other dwell
ing.
"Their Igloo serves as a home for
two or three weeks," "he said. "Then
they build a new one. Because it Is
new It is clean and sanitary. It la as
warm and comfortable as your library.
A candle gives as much Illumination
as three electric lights, because of the
Intense whiteness of the snow. TRe
snowhouse will stand under any condi
tions. In all, the igloo Is as comfort
able a home as a man could wish."

FOUNILMILLIONS FOR OTHERS
Men Who Dleeovered the Famous Coin
stock Lode Profited Little by
Their Great Luck.
The famous Comstock lode, greatest
of silver deposits, was discovered In
1859 by three prospectors, Pete O'-
RUey, Pat McLaughlin, and "Old Pan
cake" Comstock, while washing gravel
for gold. They were in hard luck.
Needing water for their rockers, they
dug a hole four feet deep and came
upon a bed of sulphide of silver. Not
knowing what It was they tried It for
gold, with highly satisfactory results,
though" cursing the "Infernal blue
sand" that clogged their primitive ap
paratus.
The blue sand was an outcropping of
the wonderful lode, one vein of which,
800 feet wide, came afterward to be
known as the "Big Bonanza," yielding
ore that was nearly half silver. From
this source were derived the multlmll
lions of Mackay, -Flood, O'Brien and
Fair—the last-namdd being a yourifr
mining engineer, while the other three
were everyday miners. The discoverers
sold out for small sums. "Old Pancake"
blew out his brains; O'Blley went in
sane and McLaughlin died a poor man.
