BRYAN One Reason for Boom For Hoke Smith , THE FAVORITE SON RACKET ON By Getting Number of Young Candi dates in the Presidential Nomi nation Race Hoped to Put Nebraskan to the Bad. Washington, D. G\, May 27. —Accord- ing to' information which reached Washing byway of New York there is a serious movement on foot among prominent Democrats to prevent, if possible, the nomination of William Jennings Bryan for the Presidency in 1908. One reason for the opposition to Mr. Bryan is that his government j ownership of railroads proposition and his initiative and referendum idea are altogether too radical, and that the Democrats could not present a platform containing such declarations before the people and expect to win. The second objection is that having been defeated j twice, he would be something of a “hoodoo” if nominated again. The tactics to be employed by those who are opposed to Bryan’s nomination ' are somewhat similar to those invoked by Republicans, who do not want Pres- ' ident Roosevelt to dictate the nomina- 1 tion of his successor to the Republican National Convention. That is to say, j the favorite son game will be played, and large crop of candidates put in the field. It is already proposed that Ohio should put forward former Attorney j General Undson Harmon; that Dela ware should present United States Senator George Gray ;Texas should oiler I Senator Charles A. Culberson; Georgia should indorse Gov. Hoke Smith, for mer Secretary of the Interior, and Mis i souri present Gov. Polk. The plan, as reported, is to create a ! field whose aggregate strength will ex c led that Os Mr. Bryan and insure his defeat for the nomination. REMOVED CONVICTS AT MIDNIGHT Sheriff Bell Tcok Charge of Gang Here. Sheriff K. L. Bell came in Sunday morning last from a point near Myrtle Springs where he had been to convoy the gang of convicts heretofore camped near Andersonville and from which several escaped a week before. Satur day night Sheriff Bell received in- i structions from the county com missioners to proceed to Andersonville at once and convoy the gang camped there to the Steyens gang near Myrtle Springs, where the two were to be consolidated. Sheriff Bell went as directed, aroused and chained the eleyen zebras in a bunch and carrud them to Steyens camp, completing tie rather dangerous task early Sunday* i morning. i Not if as Rich as Rockefeller.

His Sweetheart Until Death—Spirit of Her Youth and Her Tove Remained Untouched Despite Sadness of Their Early Married Tife—Children and Tlowers Her Tavorites. The peculiar pathos that was attached to Mrs. McKinley in the eyes of the country at large has its root in a love story that will take its place among the classics. On the part of President Mc- Kinley it w as a single-minded devoted ness, that gathered an ever-increasing tenderness from delicacy of the wife, whose hopes of motherhood were buried and whose mind, as if arrested on the threshold of that deepest experience of her motherhood, was still held in the thrall of youth. On her part it was a love of obsolute dependence and childlike trust. Through all her life her eyes have re tained the clear, unshadowed softness of the girl; the charming pink of her cheek was that usually known to the dawn of maturity. Her gentle smile, the ingenuousness of manner, the modulated voice, ail I gave President McKinley the sweet heart of his boyhood, who, if she could not share the cares of the state and must be protected from every alien look or word, could yet win him from all other consideration to make her happy. ! In the hour of her affliction the bereaved wife voiced the whole craving i of her nature in that one pathetic sen tence: “I want to see the Major.” But when she had seen the major for ! the last time, when they had placed I him in the vault at Canton, where she I has just died, the national memorial to her husband is nearing completion, she turned her thought to what she migLt do for him. Daily she visiled his tomb to stay awhile in thought, and to leave her beloved flowers for her beloved dead. Loved Flowers and Chi dren. Next to children Mrs. A cKinley always has loved her flowerr. She used to mingle the two fondnesses by I giving her blossoms from the White House conservatories in splendid lar gesse to the little ones, and she had proteges of all kinds in the hospitals and other institutions, and among her personal friends. When Easter time came the First Ladv would sit all day at the window to w atch the egg rolling on the law n and laugh as gleefully as the young sters themselves. / Denied much effort, sho busied her VETERANS GO MARCHING ON Americus Party Leaving Today for Richmond Re union.

Mrs. Sue Martin, an old and highly respected resident of Faisonia, Miss., was sick with stomach trouble for more than six months. Chamberlain's Stomach and Liver Tablets cured her.

They brought large prices at charitable fairs and they gave their ; manufacturer the keenest delight. She said once during the White House days that she had made 4,000 pairs of 1 slippers “for somebody to wear.” The Christmas after her loss she did • not forget her friends in the Cabinet circle, but the remembr uices fashioned ■ by her delicate fingers were all of black and gray. ■ The woman who had clung so persisiently to beautiful colors could find relief only in the somber ■ shades. 1 One of the last expressions of Presi dent ! cKtnley’s care of her occurred when they entered Terrace Station at Buffalo on that fatal trip. The salute of the artillerymen drawn up to await their arrival broke seven panes in the forward oar. The crash and shock were too much for Mrs. McKinley to bear. She fell fainting into her hus band’s arms. He laid her back on her pillows, soothing her gently before lie stepped out to acknowledge the plau dits of the crowd. ! W ill L ; e By Her Babes When she shrank back later in sight of all at the shrieking of the engines and the confusion, the Presi dent gently put his arm about her, smiled reassuringly and drew the lace wrap up about her ears, shutting out the uproar. He lifted her down in his strong arms and at the carriage door turntd to call for another wrap and carefully folned it about her. j When Mr. McKinley wedded Ida Saxton she had been given not only all the advantages that education and travel could offer—she was fresh from a six months’ stay in Europe when they met —but had learned self-reliance as well, for her father, James Saxton, ( had installed her as assistant cashier .in the bank to teach her to cope with the world.

WHEELS OF JUSTICE IN A WHIRL AT TEMPLE ' Session of Court Begins Monday 1 ABLE CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY Judge Eittlejohn Lays Emphasis Upon the Investigation of County Af* > l fairs Especially as Regards the Convicts. At the opening of the May „ term of i Sumter superior court yesterday . Judge Z.A. Littlejohn was particularly ’ strong in his charge to the grand jury relative to the investigation of affairs of the county,and especially as regards the chain-gang systen and the records of that department, reported kept at • Plains. This emphatic charge was expected, i and the court went very thoroughly therein. Judge Littlejohn stated that recent occurrences relative to the manage ment ot the convicts had been brought to his attention though publication in the press, and while he knew nothing as to the correctness of the allegations, he wanted them fully investigated. He referred at length to the numer ous wholesale escapes, and instructed the grand jury to-find out fully who was responsible therefor. The court likewise referred to the statement made that records of the county commissioners office were now kept at Plains instead of at the court house in Americus, the county seat of Sumter, The grand jury was fully ad vised as to its duties in the premises of this statement is true. The charge throughout, covering the subject referred to and matters gener ally embraced in charges to that body, was strong, clear and concise; The grand jury organized by electing Mr. W. A. Wilson foreman, and the body is made up as follows: W. A. Wilson, J.A. Davenport, G.W. Montgomery, G. D. Jones. W. T. Mims, G. A. Harper, E. A. Stephens, l A. 1). Gatewood, E. C. Webl?, C. S. Hogg, W. T. McMath, A. B.Perry, W. E. Brown, A. Ryiander, W. C. Carter, E. R. Stewart, W. M. Jones, W. R. Rattle, G. A. Perry, D. S. Derrick, J. W. Shiver, Jno. F. Daniel, Lee Allen. After organizing, the grand jury proceeded to get to business. It is an exceptionally able body, and the affairs of the county will be looked into fully. The court then proceeded to the trial of civil business and during the day disposed of a number of cases upon that docket. This week will be devot ed wholly to civil business, while the criminal docket will probably Lie taken up Monday next. Both dockets are unusually light at this term. The session will not extend over three weeks at the farthest. LAWYERS TO ATTEND CONVENTION Americus to Be Represented at Bar Meeting.
