The curtain has fallen on the two conventions one a comedy and the other a ragedy and the actors and the audiences have dispersed. .These conventions have been unique- noth ing else like them in our political history. The Republican Convention was a comedy. " The managers had it well staffed; every actor had his part com mitted to memory, and there had ev idently been many rehearsals. The crowd that made the Republican party a hissing and a byword were again in possession of the organiza tion. All of the formalities were ob served with scrupulous care, and or der prevailed from beginning to end. Everybody behaved doeoriously. (he convention was dignity itself. The call was read, the Temporary Chairman wus elected, the keynote speech was delivered, the Credentials Committee made its report, the plat form was adopted, the candidates were put in nomination each name being greeted with the proper demon station, conducted with due regard to the proprieties of the occasion the same little stuffed elephant leading all the parades. Small Hughe Demonstration. The conference committee gra ciously met with the Progressive com mittee and courteously declined all its overtures and then In the fulness of time the convention proceeded to ignore the Progressives. When Jus tice Hughes was within 200 votes of the necessary majority the conven tion listened to a communication from Mr. Roosevelt virtually refusing to be a candidate unless i.omlnated by both conventions, and suggesting Senator Lodge us the proper man to nominate. The convention answered Colonel Roosevelt's recommendation by giv ing Justice Hughes about nine-tenths of Its votes on the third ballot, and Senator Lodge, Col. Roosevelt's resi duary legatee, certified to the qualifi cations of the nominee and moved to make the nomination unanimous. The announcement of J-stlre Hughes' nomination was followed by a" scene that has hardly been par alleled in a National convention. In stead of the usual demonstration. Riving expression to the Joy which Viicn a victory excites, a few of the standards of the State were carried In prof ession by a relatively small number of enthusiast, while the del egates in almost unbroken phalanx stood and looked on in silence. A rhllly Convention. If one had come into the hall after the vote was taken, ho would never have suspected that theso seemingly indifferent delegate had Joined in nominating the candidate for the highest office within Hie gift of the oople of the world. The convenlion had already established a reputation ror chilling receptions, but this was probably the most frigid greeting ever given to a victorious aspirant for a Presidential nomination. The nomination of Mr. Fairbanks ror V ice President was effected under conditions which gave no. Indication of a thaw. If the temperature of the convention is any Indication of the ' character of the campaign, it will be necessary to substitute a polar hear for the elephant before election day. The Progressive Convention was a tragedy. No one could attend ths two conventions without being pro foundly Impressed with the radical difference in the personnel. The Pro gressives are an earnest a group as evr assembled in a con vention. Thoir high patriotic purpose cannot be doubted. Viewed 'from a Democratic stand point, they have been misled by the man whom they have Idolized. In thoir devotion to him, they have been led to Indorse policies, believed by thorn to be patriotic, but which can have no pnrt In the permanent plans of such a body of men. They have been alarmed by the manufactured scares which their loader has endeavored to convert to personal and political use. They have proclaimed purpose and committed themselves to doctrines which they will abanon when this Inhuman war Is over and the military fever has run it course. They must be Judged by the spirit of the movement rather than by the language In which they have given a momentary expression of their altruism. Bull Moose Disillusioned. Relying upon the assurances given by Col. Roosevelt, and fired by hi vehement language, they planned a real campaign, ready to Join the reg ular Republicans If union was possi ble under the standard of the ex President, but willing to follow him and share his fortunes v-' h unfalter ing faith. They yielded with some forebod ings to the proposition to appoint a conference committee--they could not really refuse to do this without having their refusal misconstrued. They waited and hoped, led to do so by reasons which were plausible, and which they dared not reject. Then came the final action of the Republi can Convention and the disillusion ment. When Col. Roosevelt found v that the regular Republican could not be forced Into nominating him he had to meet a situation which he had evi dently foreseen and for which he had carefully prepared. In his telegraph ic reply to Committeeman Jackson he had emphasized the necessity for co fwraUon against the Democratic party, and when the time came when he had to refuse a nomination or lead a forlorn hope, he pointed to tho lan guage of the Jackson telegram to jus tify his unwillingness to Jeopardize nepuoiican success by division In the party. He urged the nomination of Sen ator Lodge as a compromise, and when that also failed he sent the Progresive Convention a declaration which is Dnal or conditional accord ing to the derision of the committee. The scene which followed was pa thetic. The convention referred the telegram to the National Committee, which had already been empowered to act In such emergency and the convention adjourned, a disappointed and dispirited body. Ship Without Captain. The delegates had enlisted for the war; thry had cut themselves off from their political associations and thus forfeited whatever rights or priileges they might have enjoyed as members of the ReDublimn nartv They had selected a candidate for ice President. They had set Bail under sealed orders, and when the or ders were read, behold! the ship was without a Captain. The statement issued by Justice Hughes Is certainy strong enough to meet the views of Col. Roosevelt up on the subjects which he has most emphasized, namely, protection, pre paredness and Americanism. Wrhat will the Progressives do? If they attempt to carry on a campaign for a separate ticket they can hardly hope to make a creditable showing without the aid of their former lead er, and yet it will be humiliating to go back and re-enlist under the ban ner of the very men who drove them out of the Republican party, and whose return to authority would be characterized by excesses that would probably surnass the misdeeds thai caused the Progressive revolt. It might be, of course, that Mr. Roosevelt will cheer the hearts of his followers by taking up the standards and leading the forlorn hope, but the chances are that he will not. Then the Progressives will come to understand the peril of building n party under a personality. Man Is numan; principles are permanent, and, therefore, the only permanent foundation upon which a nurtv p.m rest. Stout W ill Havo One Real Clown on Hind IVr the Fourth.

Personal and Other la. Correspondence of The Journal. Wlngate, June 12. How delight fully pleasant it is for neighbors to dwell together In peace and harmony. No bickerings, no Jealousy, no envy Ings, nor backbitlngs each one vie lng with his or her neighbor to outdo In acts of kindness and accommoda tion wholesouled generosity; pos sessing nothing too good to divide with a less fortunate or destitute fel low. Such is our neighborhood and such our neighbors. Where these conditions exist and where this spirit pervades a community there is a measure of genuine joy in living that nothing else can give. Whoever would be happy therefore let him as far as possible live up to the divine injunction love thy neighbor as thy self; for this is one of the hinges on which hang all the law and the prophets. Try It out my friend, if you would have a full measure of joy and happiness and life more abund ant. There is nothing like it to make life worth living.

Davis', and the first thing thnt attracted us was tho sight of Mr. R. A. Davis busy superintending some colored laborers who were carting log up nearer the mill. Mr. Davis has rounded out his three score and ten. being, in fact, 72 year of age, but he was moving about with as much agility as any or the husky black boys whom he was directing and assisting. With one end of his crow-bar underneath a huge log which he was about to send on it rolling Journey to the mill, he paused, looked up and nodded pleas antly as I approached. Seated on the log pile we round him as much in terested in the result or the recent uunng trie war and was brimming over with the recent reunion in liir- A..r .i .

Yesterday evening as they returned home fr mi children's day services at one or their churches we had some splendid opportunities to observe the many changes for the belter which during the past few years has gradu ally come over our colored farming population. Perhaps forty buggies passed us. several of whlrh were ntw rubber tiled, and seven or eight wag ons. What most particularly impress ed us was the stock drawing these buggies and wagons. Only one mule passed us which might probably have been placed in the plug class; two of the second grades, and all of the rest would have come under the heading of No. 1 mule and horses. Sleek, well-fed and contentedly jogging along, they spoke well for our colored farmers. Miss Lela Black entertained a few friends at her home in town Satur day night. Delicious refreshments, consisting of cream, fruit and cake, were served. At the rook table the prize was won by Miss Sadie Black and Mr. Hal Morrow. The large three-story ginning plant on the Williams plantation on Wax haw creek, just over the line In South Carolina, was completely destroyed by lire together with sixty bales of ginned and unglnned cotton in and about the building at eight o'clock Saturday morning.
