AMERICANISM, PEACE AND PROS
PERITY IS DEMOCRATIC KEYNOTE
Democratic Convention Assem
bles in St. Louis and Will
Give Wilson Unanimous En
dorsement For Second Term
St. Louis, June 14.—The
Democratic National Conven
tion at its first session today
heart! the keynote of American
ism and peace, preparedness
and prosperity sounded by for
Uier Gov. Glynn of New York
as temporary chairman, and,
with a high pitch of enthusiasm,
emphatically registered by de
monstration after demonstra
tion, its approval of President
Wilson’s peaceful conduct of
foreign affairs.
The convention, which had
gotten under way with such
perfunctory demonstrations as
mark every national gathering
of the kind, soon stirred itself
into roaring cheers as Chair
man Glynn cited historic paral
lels to show that other presi
dents including Republicans,
had adjusted threatening for
eign situations without resort
to war.
W illiam J. Bryan as a news
paper correspondent in the
press stand, wept with emotion
as Glynn pictured the victories
ot peace but he laughed with
the crowd when a Texas dele
gate interrupting Glynn leaped
to his chair and cried. “And
don't forget that policy also is
satisfactory to William J. Bry
an.”
No other name than Wilson’s
will be presented for the nomi
nation for President and it now '
seems assured that Vice-Presi
dent l'hos. R. Marshall will be
named as his running mate.

BAD FEELING RESULTS
FROM RECENT FIRE
Trouble Feared as Result of
Recent Destruction of Store
in Mt. Carmel Neighborhood
Considerable ill feeling has
arisen in the Mount Carmel
neighborhood,a few miles north
of town, as a result of the burn
ing of a store belonging to Nel
son Fitch a few weeks ago.
The store was burned by al
leged incendiaries about 2
o’clock on the morning of the
25th of April. The supposition
is that the parties who are sup
posed to have started the fire
had broken into and robbed
the store, and then set fire to
the building in order to cover
up the robbery. This is mere
supposition, however, as none
of the goods alleged to have
been stolen have been found
except some pocket knives,
some of which it is said that
Mr. Fitch identified.
Friday, Dave Crawford, a
young man of that neighbor
hood, was arrested, charged
with having been implicated in
burning the store. YoungCraw
ford was given a preliminary
trial before Squire Holmes at
Batesville and was bound over
to await the action of the grand
jury. The evidence against him
was purely circumstantial,

THE RAIN INTERFERES
WITH WHEAT HARVEST
However, Between Showersthe
Binders are Kept Running
Both Day and Night
The recent heavy rains have
retarded the wheat harvest
somewhat and will result in
some loss to the farmers. The
loss will be light, however, if
the rain does not continue.
Nearly every binder in the
community has been running
day and night for several days
except when stopped by the
rain.
Several farmers report that
they will make a yield of 30
bushels per acre. Taken as a
whole, however,the whole crop
is not as good as it was last
year.
The acreage in wheat is
greater than last year and
those in position to know say
the crop in this community will
amount to at least GO,000 bush
els. About 30,000 bushels of
wheat was shipped from here
last year.
INJURED WHILE
WORKING IN WELL
W. C. Crowell narrowly es
caped serious injury while
cleaning out a well on JoeMag
ness’ place Tuesday. The pul
ley used to draw dirt out of
the well, broke and fell in on
Mr. Crowell, striking him on
the head, inflicting a painful
but not serious wound.
however, and his bond was fix
ed at only $200, which he read
ily gave, and was released.
Yesterday a warrant was
sworn out for Nelson Fitch,
charging him with carrying a
pistol, and he will be tried be
j.t'ore Squire A. H. Saylors here
Saturday.
It is said that accusations
have been made against a num
ber of the best citizens of that
community, implicating them
in the affair. As a result, a
great deal of bad feeling has
been aroused in the commun
ity, which it is feared will lead
to serious trouble unless the
situation can be clarified and
matters amicably ad juste ..
