Tremendous Demonstration
Greets Announcement of the
Vote-Nomination Made Unan
imousSix Canidates Besides
Taft Put in Nomination.
Chicago Dispatch, ltfth.
For President of the United
States, William H. Taft, of Ohio.
Taft on the first ballot; laft
by 702 votes Taft by the unan
imous consent of the convention.
Such is the record of the culmi
nating day of the Republican na
tional convention ol iy08, ettect-
ed amid scenes of - tumultuous
enthusiasm, and after a nerve-
racking continuous session lasting-
nearly eight hours. With a
President named and platform
enunciated, there remains only
the nomination of the Vice Pres
ident to complete this momentous
work. Tonight the whole city
is given over to wild exultation
in honor of the new candidate
whose name goes echoing through
the country.
A MEMORABLE PICTURE.
The picture within the walls of
the vastamphitheatre as the presi
dential candidate was named to
day was one truly grandiose in
its magnitude. In front, to the
right and left, below and above,
the billowing sea of humanity,
restless after hours ol waiting
and stirred from one emotion to
another, was in a fever of ex
pectancy for the culminating
vote. The favorite sons of other
States had been named, save
Knox and LaFollette, and now on
the roll call came Ohio. As the
Buckeye State was reached, the
tall, gaunt form of Theodore E.
Burton, with student-like face
and severe black clerical garb,
advanced to the platform to
nominate Ohio's candidate. He
spoke fervently, with the
singing voice ot an evange
list, which went ringing
through the great building. The
close of his speech of nomination
was the signal for loosening the
long pent-up feeling among the
Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio
delegates were on their feet,
other States following, while the
convention hosts, in gallery and
on the floor, broke into mad
demonstration.
"Taft! Taft! W-H-Taft!" came
in a roar from the Ohioans.
Megaphones seemed to spring
from concealed places and swell
the Taft tumult into thunder.
A huge blue silk banner bearing
the familiar features of the
statesman-Secretary was swung
before the delegates, awakening
a fresh whirlwind of enthusiasm.
WILD TAFT DEMONSTATION.
All semblance of order had
been abandoned and the dele
gates' arena was a maelstorm of
gesticulating men; the guidons of
the States were snatched up by
the Taft enthusiasts or borne
under by the storm of disorder.
The band was , inaudible a
mere whisper above the deafen
ing volume of sound. Ten, fif
teen, twenty minutes this uproar
continued. It was a repetition
of the scene of yesterday, when
the name of Roosevelt threw the
convention into a frenzy, repeat
ed in intensity and almost in dur
ation. But there is a limit to
the physical resources of throat
and lung and at last the tired
voices died down to a hoarse
shout, and finally subsided.
The lull now gave the oppor
tunity for the speech seconding
Taft's nomination by George H.
Knight, of California, his big,
round face beaming forth on the
sympathetic multitude, and his
splendid baritone voice welling
forth like the tones of a great
church organ. California's trib
ute to Taft was brief and fer
vid. Now there was another lull
in the Taft movement, while the
remaining candidates were placed
in nomination.
FLOOD OF ELOQUENCE ENDS.
It was late in the afternoon be
fore the convention, sweltering
with the intense heat and weary
after nearly seven hours continu
ous session, reached the end of
the flood of eloquence, and the
decks were at last clear for the
culminating act the ballot. But
no; just as the last swell of ora
tory, the seconding speech for
LaFollette had died away, like a
cyclone from a clear sky burst a
LaFollette demonstration wnich
swept the convention from its
very bearings. It was the same
deafening wave of sound that
had greeted Roosevelt yesterday,
and Taft a little while before, in
tense and maddening and with
the vital ring of genuine enthu
siasm. The delegates sat cairn
and waiting, except the frantic
Wisconsins, but the convention
for the time being was in the
possession of the galleries.
Now a singular transformation
occurred gradually the whirl
wind veered from LaFollette to
Roosevelt. A banner bearing
the Roosevelt portrait and waved
from the gallery was the signal
for the change.
A Unique Situation.
Amid the pandemonium and
with the galleries in full control,
Chairman Lodge ordered the roll
call of States to begin for the
vote on President. Such a call,
under such circumstances, has
probably never before occurred
in the history of national conven
tions. A ballot was taken to
nominate a candidate for Presi
dent while the convention was
cheering frantically for a man
whose name had not been pre
sented to the convention. The
votes were being counted for
Taft while the people were shout
ing for Roosevelt. The delegates,
however, cast their votes un
influenced by the clamor of the
crowd. M ore than this, the first
States on the call Alabama and
Arkansas had been relied upon
by a few Roosevelt enthusiasts
to start the stampede for the
President, but they held by their
instructions while the stampede
raged all about them.
Seizing a megaphone the secre
tary shouted the roll call of States
Alabama Arkansas but his
voice was swallowed up in the
mad uproar. Gradually, how
ever, the curiosity of the multi
tude conquered their enthusiasm,
and they lapsed into silence to
hear the result of the roll call
OHIO RINGS THE BELL.
A hush of expectancy hung
over the assembly as the call pro
ceeded. Hasty summaries show
ed that laft was far in advance
When New York was reached the
Taft column totalled 427. Ohio
carried the Taft total to 511. or
20 more than enough to nominate
Still the call went on until the ft
nal result was announced by
Chairman Lodge.
A great shout went up as Lodge
concluded his announcement, and
with one accord the cohorts of
Cannon and Knox, and Hughes
and the other heroes, joined in a
common tribute for the candidate
of the party.
General Stewart L. Woodford,
for Governor Hughes, moved to
make the nomination of Taft
unanimous; Senator Penrose, for
Knox and Boutell, for Cannon,
and Henry, of Georgia, for Fora
ker and Wisconsin for LaFollette,
seconded the movement. The
vote was given with a ringing
cheer, and then with shouts of
exultation over the new candi
date the convention adjourned
until 10 o'clock to-morrow, when
the nomination of Vice President
will be made.

Interest Transportation Lines

Leslie's Weekly.
The Southern railways, more
than brotherhood, knitted the
North and South together after
the war. The railways gave
prosperity to the South by en
couraging immigration and bring
ing in people to help do the up
building. Memphis twenty years
ago had a population of 64.000.
To-day it has 102,000. The rail
ways did it. A few years ago
hundreds of places in Louisiana,
ike Crowley, for example, were
only prairie land. The Sonth
em Facihc built a station at
Crowley, and to-day that place
boasts of 7,000 persons. Other
railroads did the same thing for
a hundred other thriving places
in the Southern States. The
Southern Railway went into the
waste places of the South and
caused towns to spring up. The
Seaboard Air Line went into a
country of blasted hopes, and
built up new industries, and with
tnem new courage, lo a region
of penury the Atlantic Coast
Line brought plenty by putting
cash into circulation where no
cash had been before. The
Southern Railway gave the ex
act service necessary for the
healthy development of the
States through which it runs. It
not only created new industries
but itself became the chief cus
tomer for the products of the
new mills.
The South needed $200,000,000
for further immediate develop
ment. The Southern railways
were securing that vast invest
ment of Northern capital along
their lines wnen tne unreason
ing agitation against all railroads
set in and, temporarily at least,
halted the Southward movement
of money. One hundred and
six new railway enterprises were
under way in the South when the
politicians began using the South
ern railways as footballs. Those
new roads were to be for the de
velopment of timber and mining
regions and tohandle"long hauls' '
in Texas and Oklahoma. The
promoters of the enterprises
have, for the moment, been
frightened away. They will get
back on the job as soon as a cer
tain brand of politician is relegat
ed to oblivion.
It was the principal roads of
the South namely, the Southern
Railway, the Seaboard Air Line
and the Atlantic Coast Line that
set to work ;n a practical way
to encourage the growth of build
ing associations in the South, that
helped develop the savings-bank
idea, that gave practical aid in
the construction of better homes
for workingmen, that led the
work of beautifying towns and
cities, that showed the way to
municipal advancement in sanita
tion. These three great railroads,
in fact brought to the South new
energy, new vim, new wealth.

that made Florida a resort for

Hiram Percy Maxim's Noiseless
Rifle, Whose Discharge is no
Louder Than the Dropping of
a Nail Upon the Floor.
Charlotte Observer.
The next wonder of science
and invention? Answering a
recent question of our own be
fore it is cold, we point to the
noiseless rifle, an arm perfected
and demonstrated by Hiram Per
cy Maxim. This inventor has a
high-power gun whose dischage
is nolouder than the dropping of a
nail upon the floor and cannot be
heard a room away. It makes
only a hollow plunk, yet does
work as deadly as any. Regular
ammunition is used without
change and any rifle will give
the result after a slight re-model-
mg. Pending tests to be made
by the ordnance department of
the United States army the in
ventor, has demonstrated his de
vice before the the board of man
agers of the New York Society
tor the Prevention ot Cruelty to
Animals, sending a flat-nosed
bullet from an ordinary .32 cali
bre Winchester through six inch
es of city directories practically
without noise. This demonstra
tion was given in pursuance of t
request made by the S. P. C. A
that he furnish a weapon for
butchering animals more hu
manely than is possible with the
somewhat hap-hazard hammer
method, and the officers present
agreed that their requirements
bad been fully met. They now
have a gun capable of driving
bullet into a steer's brain with
out frightening the other animals
lined up behind. Efforts to per
suade or compel its extensive use
will come next. Thus a shooting
device which can hardly fail to
play a great part in war may
likewise serve other and quite
different purposes. Its inventor
achievement doubtless means
that the next great battles wi
not only be smokeless but noise
less as well. Without losing any
of their deadhness or tremend
ous range, hrearms will no more
fill battlefields with flame.
smoke or sound than so many
bows and slings. Men will fall
by thousands without knowing
whence death comes. Of course
military tactics, which have been
continually re-adjusting themsel
vesasweapons become more dead
ly, must necessarily make futher
re-adiustments few now be
lieve that war will ever become,'
extinct through sheer deadliness;
but H. P. axim's invention will
at least increase the difficulty of
already formidable problems. If
some restraint isn't laid upon
the Maxim family, in fact, war
may get to be such a very serious
business that nations will think
twice before rushing into it.

DOLLAR BILLS BY WEIGHT.
It Takes Twenty-Seven to Weigh
as Much as a $20 Gold Piece.
Kansas City Star.
"Dollar bills are worth almost
their weight in gold," a bank
president said the other day to a
depositor.
"Yes, I suppose they come in
handy for change and are easy
to carry," the depositor replied
absently.
"No, I was speaking literally,"
the bank president said. "We
got into an argument in the bank
here the other day as to how
much a dollar bill weighed. A
$20 gold piece weighs 540 grains.
We found that twenty-seven
crisp, new one dollar bills weigh
the same- as a $20 gold piece.
We tested some bills that had
been in use and found that it
took but twenty-six Tof them to
balance the gold piece. I sup
pose that twenty-six used bills
gather an accumulation of dirt in
passing from hand to hand that
weighs about what one new bill
does."

Sad Death of a Splendid Young
Man Peace and Quiet Where
Were Once Strife and Bloodshed-
Death of Mr. Wm. Beas
ley Ye County Editors - A
County Commissioner to Be
come a Benedict - Other Matters.
Correspondence of The Koliesonian.
I have been away from home
for some time and did but little
writing during my stay, owing
to the continued severe illness of
the little granddaughter, whom
left on Friday last slowly con
valescing and clamoring for va-
lous articles ol food which
were strictly lorbidden by the
attending physicians.
On the afternoon previous to
my departure I attended the
funeral of a splendid young man.
Mr Geo. Reaves, a near neigh
bor of Mr. a cLaurin, whose death
was remarkably sad. Just one
week before he died, he passed
his examination in the Law-
School of Columbia, came home
the next day very sick, with ty
phoid fever, his temperature at
105, and on the Wednesday fol
owing his bright young life pass
ed away. In the flush of young
manhood, gilted both mentally
and personally, fully equipped
for his life work, and environed
by the love of devoted parents
brothers, sisters, and a host of
menus, it wouiu seem to our
weak mortal vision a mysterious
dispensation which called him
away so suuueniy. liut he was
a Christian, and in this assurance
rests the infinite comfort to the
bereaved family of meeting again
wnere tears anu sorrow never
come .
About two miles below Mr,
McLaurin's home, on a beautifu
spot situated upon the banks oi
Buck swamp, is the little Pres
byterian church of Dunbarton
A neighbor informed me that in
Revolutionary days, the old
church of Mt. Andrew occupied
this site, in which Gen. Marion,
"The Swamp Fox", often had his
headquarters while carrying on
his guerrilla warfare; and upon
the brow of the hill above the
church, while riding along the
public highway, the late Mal
colm Clark, an aged and prom
inent man, was murdered in cold
blood during the Civil war by a
band of deserters and outlaws;
but everything is peaceful and
quiet now, and it is hard to real
ize that scenes ot strile and
bloodshed ever disturbed the calm
serenity of that beautiful spot, in
close proximity to the church, the
cemetery, and a Masonic hall.
I hear of no news since my
home-coming, ihe neighbors
are generally well. I was inform
ed by Dr. A. B. Croom, as I came
through Maxton, of the recent
sudden death of Mrs. Wm. Beas-
ey, near the Turn Out, which
occurred on Wednesday last. She
eaves a husband and several
small children, to whom her
death is an irreparable loss.
Crops are looking well in the
Fork, and pea planting and "lay-ing-by"
season is on hand. Some
of the poor old tired horses look
as though they are ready to "lay
by too, and 1 know they will be
glad when resting time comes.
Down South they were having
heavy rains, but I found things
in North Carolina "dry" sure
enough. Our gardens especially
were needing moisture, but we
had a nice shower yesterday
which has served to refresh
things.
As the 'Squire and I were com
ing home from Maxton on Satur
day we met Lawyer (and Editor)
Wiggins and wife, of Rowland,
and subscribed for his breezy
paper, The Sun; and now we have
three county papers on our calen
dar. I saw Bro. Harker, of The
Chief, the same day, and was
glad to see him looking well.
Physicially he is "fat," and I
hope his pocket is in the same
condition. I have much sympa
thy for our ceunty ediitors, who
work hard to give us good, read
able papers and often fail to get
the help and encouragement es
sential to that end.
Mr. and Mrs. Wiggins told us
the wedding bells were soon to
ring out in Rowland, and one of
our county commissioners has
wisely decided that "It is not
well for man to live alone. ' '
The 'Squire is right ailing these
days, but I hope will soon be !
better.
I have been fishing since 1
came home. Angus and I caught
seven yesterday, which gave us a
nice mess tor supper.
