Guffey’s Bitter Reply Fails
to Ruffle the Ne

LINCOLN, Nsbr., July 6.—Mr. Bry
an had his say Saturday concerning
wlm Guffey and the broadside hurled by
the Pennsylvanian last night In Denver
failed to disturb the serenity of the
Democratic leader, who positively de
clined] to say anything In response to
Guffey's attack.
Fair View Is cut off from Lincoln
today by the severest flood In Lincoln's
history. Street car bridges were washed
out In Antelope valley, and the only
communication with .Mr. Bryan's home
Is by telephone. The flood situation,
besides marooning Mr. Bryan, threat
ena to delay the arrival of several state
delegations at Denver, and Is likely to
necessitate a postponement of the con
ventlon.

will be rushed to completion as rapidly
as possible. The application for the
charter has been prepared by Attorney

Indeed Is the Democratic party really
absorbed? Has It no councils?
Mr. Bryan the whole organisation?

forthwith pleads to dictate not only

MOULTRIE, Ga., July 6.—A family
feud of a year or two's duration between
the families of Abe Conger. Jr., and
Jim Taylor. Sr., culminated In a clash
yesterday at Salem Church. In Tift
county, where the parties were attend
in'- on nlNday singing. In which the
elder Taylor and four sons were pitted
against Conger and sons, Abe and Bar
ney.
The elder Conger was shot four times
and was reported dying this morning.
Abe ar*d Barney Conger were shot
one time each and probably fatally
wounded. The Taylors, the aggressors,
it Is said, were not seriously hurt
The report came to Moultrie to one
of the Conger boys In the form of a
telephone message, and stated that the
Taylors were drinking and caught the
Congers unarmed.
Abe Conger Is a wealthy farmer. Abe
Conger. Jr., Is a student at Mercer Uni
versity. and Barney Is a young man re
cently married.
The trouble between the families
arose a year or two ago when the Tay
lors were tenants on the farm of the
Congers.

when the sub-committee meets here
Wednesday. The last light agslnet him
will be made when the Hoosler dele

half-hearted protest, for It will be led
by Senator Beveridge, who was first i

Is first a Hemenway man and then a

EATONTON, Ga„ July 6.—Eatonton,
the birthplace of Joel Chandler Har

grief by the sad Intelligence of the
death of the noted author. Old Inhabi

Here he was born and reared and here
he learned In the school of experience
those lessons that have developed all
truly great self-made men. His home
people have watched hla career with a
just and genuine pride and never
ceased to claim him as tbelr own, altho
he has not lived here In over a quarter
of a century.
A part of his old home still stands
and he always pointed It out to visitors
hers and It was kodaked by many.
Elght’years ago a Joel Chandler Har

personal efforts of the children, and to.
day It Is still growing and a continued
success. His name has alto been sug

Ssrvloe,
DENVER, Colo., July 6.—The dele,
gates, practically all of them, are here,
and after a careful canvass there aeems
no further need to doubt the claims of
the Bryan men that William J. Bryan
will be nominated by the Democratic
national convention on the first ballot
by a safe majority.
The Georgia delegation waa delayed
by a train wreck in Nebraska, but Is
expected here this afternoon.
Salient features of today's convention
were the doings of the national com
mittee which began the hearing of con
tests; the executive committee of the
Federation of Labor meeting to frajne
planks for the platform and make de-'
mands on the party.
The Pennsylvania delegation Is ex
pected to oust Colonel James M. Guf
fey, the national committeeman at
tacked by Bryan.
The caucus of the New York dele
gation Is expected to declare for Brynn
and to name a favorite son for vice
presidency.
The committee on arrangements an
nounces that “merry widow” hate will
be excluded from the convention hall.
John Mitchell saya he will not accept
the vice presidential nomination.
The Tammany delegation has arrived
In special trains. A boom has been
started for Congressman Ollle James of
Kentucky, vice presidential candidate.
■ It Is also conclusive that the platform
will coincide with Mr. Brian's views In
practically all particulars.
It will, It Is believed, contain a strong
antl-lnjunctlon plank along lines al
ready outlined, and will follow closely
the Nebraska platform on national af
fairs. It was also believed an effort
will be made to Incorporate the Okla
homa plan for the Insurance of bank
deposits. There will ajso be planks for
the publicity of campaign contributions,
the physical valuation of railroads, ami
for free wood pulp. That some of theso
planks will be fought Is certain, that
the fight will be successful In securing
mors than unimportant modifications Is
not at alt likely. It Is also highly Im-

Senate Committee Will Hear
Arguments Next Wed
nesday.
Before the senate agricultural com
mittee next Wednesday afternoon, r
number of prominent Oeorgla editea
tors will appear to urge the passage of
the bill to place a higher tsx on com
mercial fertilisers and the uee of ths
proceeds for the agricultural schools of
the stats. The committee will take
definite action on ths Martin bill at
that time, and the educational experts
will make a strong plea for the eleven
district schools, which are In urgent
need of funds.
Chancellor Barrow, of the University
of Georgia, will appear before the com
mittee, as will Dean A. M. Soule, of
the agricultural college. It Is said that
Dudley M. Hughes, congressman-elect,
from the Third district, will also ap
pear to speak for the bill.
The district colleges are supported
entirely from the tax on fertilisers, and
their Income Is not nearly sufficient for
tlielr needs. The Martin bill provides a
tax of 36 cents a ton Instead of 10
cents as at present, nnd It Is argued
that this Is only a step In keeping with
that of other states In this territory,
where the higher tax Is In effect. Tbt
fertiliser companies make prices In
Georgia based on the higher tax. It Is
said, and the advance will not be met
by a corresponding advance In price to
the consumer.
Marked opposition to the bill Is being
shown in some quarters, but It Is be
lieved the senate will pass the bill If
recommended by the committee. It
passed the house at the last session,
and unless amended In some way the
action of the eenate will make It a law
without further consideration by the
house.

BUSINESS REVIVAL
IN CENTRAL CITY
the committee room.
The Important work today Is the
posing on the contested seats by the
national committee and tha making up
of the temporary rules.
The bitter verbal warfare between
Mr. Bryan nnd Colonel Guffey, it Is be
lieved, will lead to the seating of tha
contesting Pennsylvania delegation and
a desperate effort to overthrow the
Pennsylvania leader In the control of
the Democratic state machinery. It Is
generally understood that Tammany Is
to fall In line for Bryan nnd that the
McCarren people will be left out In the
cold.
The vice-presidential situation Is
atilt as much In ths air as It ever was.
The statement from Judge Gray that he
would not take second place on tho
ticket has not entirely eliminated him
from consideration, nnd It may be that
he will be named willy-nilly.
The Kern boom Is still booming, and
the Connecticut men are becoming
somewhat enthusiastic over the chances
of McNeil. The talk about the dozen
or more New Yorkers who ore "men
tioned" continues, but there Is no sign
of centralisation on any one yet The
town took on a teal convention look
last night. The lobby of the Brown
Palace was crowded with delegates and
visitors, and they were enthusiastic.
Late In the evening, Dan Cantrell, of
Illinois, assumed ths Initiative and or
ganised an Impromptu mass meeting.
"Alfalfa HI!!'' Murray, of Oklahoma,
one of the picturesque characters of
the convention, was put on the main
stairway and roused the crowd to en
thusiasm by his exposition of the con
stitution of Oklahoma and what that
state was doing.
If there was ever any doubt as to
how the crowd felt. It would hove been
quickly dissipated when Mr. Murray
predicted ths unanimous election of
Bryan In November. There waa a wild
whoop and a mighty cheer. When Mur
ray finished, Mr. Warner, of Los An
geles, was seised and made a speech In
which he claimed that California would,
no doubt, cast her vote for Bryan. He
made an eloquent plea for the Demo
crats of the country to help break the
grip of the Southern Pacific In Callfor- '
