Thf Republican National Conven
tion met In Chicago Tuesday at noon.
1n' (Convention was called to order
by Chairman Harry S. New, after
which a sijeecb wa made by Hur
rowg, the man elected for tempo
rary chairman of the Convention.
The candidates for President and
Vice President will probably be
named to-day. It now ! o :s as
though Mr. Taft will be nominated
on the first ballot, but there is a
great demand for Roosevelt. There
is still much doubt as to whom will
be nominated for second place on the
ticket.
The first Republican National Con
vention was held In Philadelphia on
June 17, 1856. John C Fremont,
of California, was nominated for
President, and William L. Dayton,
of New Jersey, Vice President. But
the ticket was defeated that year by
Buchanan and Breckenridge, the
Democratic nominess. In I860 the
Republicans nominated and elected
Abraham Lincoln, the rail Bplitter,
from Illinois, and the party has been
in power in the nation ever since
with the exception of Cleveland's
two terms.
CIIANCII FOR REPUBLICAN VIC
TORY IN FIFTH DISTRICT.
If the Republicans will nominate
a good man for Congress in the Fifth
District this year there is reason to
believe that the party can carry that
district.
The Democratic Congressional
Convention held In Greensboro some
days ago, when Brooks was nomi
nated, was one of the most bitter con
ventions ever held in that district,
and some of the Democratic delegates
said at the time Brooks was nominat
ed that the district would be lost to
the Republicans.
While all of those dissatisfied
Democrats in that district may not
vote the Republican ticket this fall,
yet the probability Is that they will
not vote for Brooks. The fight be
tween Col. J. Allen Holt and Col. J.
R. Webster at the railway station at
Greenboro a few days ago will not
have a tendency to mend matters be
tween the factions.
There was wild demonstration in
the Convention Hall in Chicago yes
terday when Senator Lodge, in his
speech, said, "The President is the
best abused and most popular man
in the United States." The cheering
lasted for forty-five minutes.,
Remember we are offering The
Caucasian, in clubs, from now until
November 15th for 25 cents each-
or half price. Many of our friends

"The party should be rebuked for
its ingratitude In not giving Mr.
Craig something before this. And we
have the word of you gentlemen that
you knew all along that he was en
titled to it." Durham Herald.
If he had succeeded in. his at
tempt to have the Republican Su
preme Court judges impeached pos
sibly he would have gotten a job
then.
The Durham Herald says that if
the Republicans would take advant
age of the opening every time the
Democrats let down the gap that it
would not be long before there would
be something doing in the old North
State. We feel sure of that fact
ourselves, and a few Republicans
are taking advantage of the open
Ing, but they can't do it all. If we
had the right kind of a State chair
man that would put his shoulder
to the wheel the result In this State
this fall would not be in doubt.
Craig and Kitchin held another
joint debate in Charlotte Monday
night. This was the first time the
candidates had met on the stump
since that "memorable" joint dis
cussion at Wadesboro at the begin
ning of the campaign, when the
speaking came near ending in a row
and they were not allowed to meet
each other again until Monday night
after the primaries had all been held
save one. In their speeches Monday
night they punctured each other many
times, and ft is certain that the
speeches did not improve their
chances or the chances of their par
ty.

person, all of the family of Mr. and
Mrs. Daniel Cooper, with the ex
ception of one son, were murdered
some time lat night, probably by
the wife and mother, who has been
insane.
lu every instanre the victims were
killed with a bullet through the
head.
When Mrs. Cooper's mother and
other neighbors entered the home
on Chapin street this morning about
five o'clock there were no signs of
Ufe, the bodies of the victims were
scattered all about. Some were in
their beds and others on the floor.
Mrs. Cooper lay across the body of
a baby on the bed. with an emptied
revolver beside her.
It is believed Mrs. Cooper commit
ted the murders and then killed her-fu-lf.
She was once confined in an
insane asylum, and for some time
has been brooding over the fact that
Cooper was out of work. A few days
ago she Is reported to have said she
would "end it all."
A Letter From Nah County.
Mr. Editor: I see some of the
papers hare put a Mr. Willis Briggs
up for Congress in this District as
a Republican. Aint he now post
master at Raleigh, and aint he the
same Mr. Briggs who used to say
such hard things about us radicals
In the papers and call us all sorts of
hard names? When did he get con
verted and turn Republican and vote
our ticket? Well, I reckon you
folks up there in Raleigh know best,
and would not have let him be post
master if he was not alright, nor
sent him out to nominate a Presi
dent for us this time. But it ap
pears to me that we are trying to
run a free horse to death by giving
him offices so fast that he can't
catch hi3 breath, but I suppose he
will have to resign being postmaster
before he runs for Congress and
gets elected, which will be alright.
Aint we got no old-time Republicans
left is this district to make the run
for Congress without having to take
up a newish? Where is old man
John Nichols? I voted for him one
time. Is he dead?
All of us down here are opposed
to the last legislature and whiskey
question and are going to vote
gainst them when we get a chance.
Now they say we shan't make any
more brandy in this county and our
fruit will all rot on the trees. Well,
we will give whoever runs against
the Democrats a big vote down here.
Our crops are fine if we don't have
too much rain and hailstorms from
now on. Yours truly,
OLD REPUBLICAN.

BOY KILLED BY LIGHTNING.
ur Others Severely Shocked Two
Others in the Party Were Unin

the 14-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.
Kelly Young, was killed Sunday
morning by lightning, and four oth
er boys who were with him were
injured, but it is thought that all
will recover, although two of them
were severely shocked. The boys
were out gathering wild plums when
heavy rainstorm came up and
they took shelter in an old office
building. Formerly a telephone
had been in the office and the wire
remained, although the telephone
had been removed. The lightning
struck the wire and in this way was
carried into the office where the boys
were gathered.
Odell Young was killed instantly.
Of the seven boys in the party two
were uninjured and they hurried to
nearby residence and told what
had happened.

ly postponed consideration of the
Doussan bill, providing for a refer

HOW MAY SKEP-WATEU LANDS
BE MADE PROFITABLE.
Messrs. Editors: Those of us own
ing and operating farms bordering
the Mississippi levees in the Yazoo
Delta, and I presume other parts of
the Mississippi Valley as well, are up
against a very serious problem.
Gradually the levees have grown from
little affairs four feet high, with ten
foot base, to huge dykes from twelve
to twenty feet high with 150-foot
base. The erection of these immense
embankments has required the use of
millions of cubic yards of dirt, all of
which must be taken from owners of
ands nearest the base of operations.
A strip of land running back from
the levee one hundred and fifty feet
wide, and an additional strip of fifty
feet, are condemned for levee use.
Water-Soaked Six Months in the
Year.
The dirt is used from the fifty-foot
strip back one hundred and fifty feet
from the base of the levee, usually
on the land side. This dirt is re
moved, leaving what are known as
barrow pits" about in spots, uncon
nected, without drainage, and are a
source of great injury to the adja
cent lands for practically six months
in the year, from January 1st to
July 1st.
The Mississippi River, always high
during the spring months, lags the
water against the levee until it is at
times dangerously near the running
over point. Seep water saturates
the lands back for one-half to one
mile. Frequently this water covers
the lands in great sheets, and always
level with the beds of the cultivated
lands; in other words, the water fur
rows are level full for five to six
months of the year, at the time we
are trying to get our crops in.
The writer, owing a small farm
within one-fourth mile of the coun
ty-seat, and bordering on a sixteen
foot levee, has been to date (May
30th) unable to plow and prepare
any lands within seep water range of
the levee. The holes made by con
tractors In removing the dirt are
overflowing, having no possible way
of exit for the water. The public
road parallels the levee and is on the
150-foot of condemned strip. This
so-called road has been impassable
for six months, and is at present a
"lob-lolly." Neither man nor beast
can travel it. All of this because the
levee authorities cannot or will not
drain away the seepage water, which
can and should be done, if for no
other purpose, than to strengthen the
levees.
What Shall be Done With These
Lands?
The problem is, What to do with
the lands so affected. How can we
have them drained? Individual ef
fort is futile, and the land-owners
have nearly bankrupted themselves
trying to grow crops on them. Here
we have the finest soil in the world,
practically useless for want of drain
age. We read your delightfully in
teresting journal weekly, note what
progressive farmers are doing else
where, and we feel discouraged, be
cause we have no possible chance to
emulate them. What is the remedy?
What under the sun will grow and
flourish on water-soaked soil? Grass
grows luxuriantly, but the lands are
too soft to mow at the proper time.
If any one can suggest a way out of
the trouble, that comes within our
means, we should be most obliged to
have them tell us. We are "there"
on late crops.
The time must come soon for the
field to be occupied by drainage com
panies that will charge planters a
reasonable annual fee for service per
formed. Kindly suggest, if you can,
some crop likely to be profitable on
such lands, and confer a favor upon
alluvial interests.

Generally one land-owner cannot
afford to do the draining himself,
even though he ahould poaae sev
eral thousand of acre. The drain
age should be an enterprise orga
id. put through and paid for. by the
community. Every person who would
benefit by the drainage should be as
sessed In proportion to the benefit en
joyed. A number of drainage project
-r under war or in the process of
n.ni,.iinn in the Delta. Missis
sippi has' a law to further Just such
.nternrlses. that has go good results.
The best course for one desiring
drainage on a large scale (and It Is
presumed that a large scale is neces
sary here) Is for him to Interest as
many land-owners as possioie ana uj
consult some reputable attorney
about how to put the enterprise
through.
After a land-owner has suffered
from poor crops several years he will
feel rather doubtful about assuming
another burden for the purpose of
drainage. But in a great many In
stances the value of his land will be
doubled, his crops will be surer and
better; and he can do far more than
make back the cost of drainage. In
deed, his future would, in many
cases, be brighter if he sold half his
land In order to drain what he had
left. It will not be so difficult to
sell his land if it has been drained
or if it is known that it will be
drained.
An Engineering Problem.
I do not know enough about the
local conditions to say how far
drainage ditches would have to be
cut before they would empty into
some of the streams flowing in a
southernly direction more or less pa
rallel to the Mississippi and empty
ing into the Father of Waters
through the Yazoo River; but pre
sume that that sort of drainage will
have to be resorted to. Only a civil
engineer who has run the levels can
tell how the outlet can be got to the
best advantage. After there are
good main drainage ditches, ditches
can be cut near the levee to catch
water that may seep through the le
vee. These levee ditches would empty
into the main ditches, and the whole
field could be well drained. It would
also then be easy to make other
ditches to carry oft excess water from
rains, and wonderful yields could be
made almost every year.
Drainage done by communities co
operating will come into favor fast.
Those who have put through or who
are putting through drainage enter
prises will confer a favor by report
ing how they have gone at the work,
how they have organized in short,
how they have got results. Such in
formation has been requested several
times recently, and it will be all the
better if It comes from men who are
working out just such problems as
others have to meet.
Is There a Grass That Will Grow on
Wet Lands?
Those who own land that they
cannot drain soon may find it best to
seed it down in grass. If for any
reason stock raising is impractical,
resort should be had to hay making,
It may be that some grasses would
leave the grounds too yielding for a
mower to be used. But red-top has
long underground root stocks that
tend to knit the ground together in a
dense sod. It does well in rich,
moist land, bearing overflows with
out injury, even when covered by
water two or three weeks. It makes
a moderate yield of fair hay; and is
particularly valuable for mixing with
orchard grass, alsike clover and oth
er moisture-loving sorts. Not enough
is known concerning local conditions
for it to be stated positively that
such a meadow and pasture mixture
would make a sod tough enough for
hay-making. If Bermuda thrived on
the land, it would help to make the
sod tough and unyielding. If anyone
with experience on such land can
suggest a hay mixture that will make
the soil firm enough for hay-making,
