The platform adopted by the State convention will in a great measure govern and direct tbe policy of the candidate. Expansion, imperialism, corporate combinations and corporate influences will be discussed by tbe convention if we are to judge by the newspapers. Likewise the status of "Commercial Democrats" will probably come up. Outside of this tbe convention will prob '~?+. ably be a tame affair.

Latimer, of Anderson county; J. J.

A special to the Birmingham News from Jackson, Miss, says: The first regular contract ever made in the world to pick cotton by machinery was closed in Greenville a few days since, aDd the first experiment with the machine will be made on a plantation in Washington county next fall. A Pittsburg man is the inventor of the device and for the past ten years has been conducting experiments in the vicinity of Greenville.

The machine, he admits is valueless except on the Ifivel nnlands. lnw vallfiVR and nrairio grounds, but even if it should prove successful with this limit, its effect on the labor question in the South will be very marked.

For years and years the idea has been growing in the South that the United States should construct and own the Niceragua canal. Senator MorgaD, of Alabama, has been the conspicuous champion of this idea in the Senate. Along with the agitation of the canal and the trend of recent events has come the question of a great merchant marine, ship subsidies, etc. Expansion of foreign trade and the opening of gateways of the world's commerce through Southern ports is the South's opportunity. In our sister States the political antagonisms of MeLaurin and Tillman bring out this question for disfliiooinr Vmf nnfnrtnnatfilv tbft iflftue KUOOIW, k/MU m-.v. vv- J there is clouded with personalities and factional polities to such an extent that there is little hope of securing an argument and decision on the merits of the case. In the meantime the men of other sections are taking up the question for discussion and in a recent speech Secretary Shaw struck a key-note of militant patriotism that rings stroDgand true. Among other things the Secretary said: "Gentlemen, we must have the t largest merchant fleet ever kissed by ocean breezes, and the carriers of international commerce must be built of American yards by American labor. They are to be manned by American sailors, fired by American coal, or more probably oil, and they are to float the stars aDd stripes. Whether this be accomplished by government aid or through American patriotism and American capital and American energy. I cannot say. Whether this consummation shall be contributed to by statesmen or achieved by financiers is immeterial compared with the great importance of the thing itself. American wealth, plus Hawaii, which are ours, plus the Isthmian canal, which we will surely construct, plus a merchant marine which we will surely build, transfers the sovereignty of the Pacific ocean from the Union Jack to the Stars and Stripes." Surely such a state of affairs? American ships carrying the world's commerce and that through the Nicaragua canal, touching all South Atlantic ports must make indeed for the South's opportunity.

Both sides now have speeches in course of preparation, containg pertinent declarations. It is evident that the debate will be long and bitter, and the bill can hardly be disposed of before the first of June. The prospect of an early adjournment is not fluttering.

All three of these members are expecting renominatioDs, and their record ought to be in their favor." Whooping Cough. A woman who has had exnerience I with this disease, tells how to prevent any daDgerous consequences from it. She says: Our three chil dren took whooping cough last summer, our baby boy being only three months old, and owing to our giving them Chamberlain's Cough R?medy, they lost none of their plumpness and came out in much better health than other children whose parents did not use this remedy.

"Five \ears ago a disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold of rue that I could scarcely go," writes Geo. S. Marsh, well-known attorney of Nocona, Tex. "I took quantities of pep3in and other medicines but no'hing helped me. As a drowning man grab3 at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improvement at once and after a few bottles am bound and well " Ivodol is the only preparation which exactly repro duces the natural digestive juices and const quently fs the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble.
