THE DEMOCRATIC- NOMINEE For Governor o? New Vork-The Re- ' publicans Arraigned. Rochester, N. Y., Sept, IR-Nom inating all but one of its candidates by acclamation, and adopting a plat form -which arra'gns the administra tion of Governor Hughes and pledges earnest support to the Denver plat form and candidates, the Democratic State Convention to-day nominated as the head of its ticket for Governor the present Lieutenant Governor of the State, Lewis Stuyvesant Chanter, of Duchess county'. John A. Dix, of Washington county, was nominated for Lieutenant Governor. All oppo- : sit ion of Mr. Chanter disappeared af ter a conference of tho State leaders, which occupied a greater part of last night. The ticket decided upon by the leaders, with one exception, seem ed to meet the approval of all the delegates, and the nominations were made with great enthusiasm until the office of State engineer and surveyor was reached. The conference candi date for this office was Phillp P. Farley, of Brooklyn, an antl-McCar man. Senator McCarren, amid the cheers of his supporters, took the platform "to resent an Insult." He declared the nomination of Farley was agreed to without any regard to the Kings county delega tion and was intended, to embarrass them. He declared he would always support Democratic nominees, but would not hold himself responsible for the action of the people who felt themselves insulted. Farley won on a roll call, but a motion to make the nomination unanimous was lost by two or three scattering negatives. Judge Alton B. Parker, who was permanent chairman of the conven tion, addressed the gathering. The convention adjourned without day after United States Senator.Gore of Oklahoma had made a brief ad dress. "The promises of reform upon which the present Governor was elected," the platform alleges, "have not been kept. We point as proof of this fact to the expenditures of 1907, which are larger than tho extrava gant sums expended under the prede cessors of Governor Hughes. We charge him with the responsibility for this waste and with giving his time and attention to the pursuit of spectacular methods and self-adver tising issues rather than to the work of reform and retrenchment, upon the promise of which he was elected Governor two yoars ago. We Insist that in this most important feature of his administration he has been derelict and remiss. Instead of cut ting off the tax eaters from the list of officeholders he has caused new ones to be added to lt, and in the two pub lic service commissions which have been brought into existence at his suggestion and dictation, he has cre ated officeholders who have woefully failed to better the condition of af fairs contlded to their charge." THE WOES OF BRYAN'S DOUBLE. Hoosier Mistaken for the Nebraskan Has All Kinds of Trouble. (From the New York World.) Dr. David Coombs Peyton, of Jef fersonvllle, Ind., president of the Indiana State Medical Association, got a hair cut in the Hoffman House recently. Dr. Peyton said to the barber, "You need not shave my up per lip to-day. I'm going to grow a mustache." Once Dr. Peyton thought lt was a joke because he ls a remarkable dou ble of William Jennings Bryan, but after being routed out of a New Haven train coming from Boston to New York at midnight, pushed to the back platform, cheered and asked to deliver a speech, Dr. Peyton then thought it was time to change his looks. Dr. Peyton would not have worried so much over the loss of sleep, but he was also caught In the Cafe Mar tin, and a score of men instated on shaking hands with him. During the excitement Dr. Peyton lost a watch fob, and that was too much. Hence the hair cut and the new mus tache. While the Indiana doctor was try ing to escape from the Hoffmanllouse he was found by several enthusias tic. Democrats on lb ?i way to attend the State D?mocratie Committee meeting In the Victoria Hotel, and before he could prove that he was not William Jennings Bryan he had his straw hat broken, "I am a Bryan Democrat," he ex plained. "I like Mr. Bryan and have entertained him, but I can't carry around any moro of his troubles on my shoulders. He seems to have too many friends in New York, so I am going back homo whore folks know who 1 am. "It so happens that Mr. Bryan and I are tho exact age, and the same height, nsd weigh tho same. I must look Uko him, for the folks on tho Now Haven train, I think, put Mr. Brynn as a terrible Uar when I in sisted that I was not the real article. "I would like it much botter if peo ple could mistake me for* having the ?brains of Mr. Bryan rather than being like him in looks. I am going home, minus a fob, the loss of a breakfast, and a straw hat, and some Bleep." VISITING ? IUDS-All the latest styles. We want your orders for first class work In the Engraving line.

(News and Courier.) Abbeville, Sept. 13.-Congressman Aiken some time ago sent $60 to the national campaign committee and $25 to the Congressional campaign committee. Besides this he has con tributed $27 in smaller contributions as "cash" when the hat was handed around in various parts of the dis trict, making in all $102. About two weeks ago Mr. Aiken re ceived a letter from the speakers' bu reau of the campaign committee ask ing him to aid in campaigning in the doubtful .si at CH. These letters are sent to all Democratic Senators and Representatives, but Mr. Aiken be lieves from what he has heard that a Southern man, no matter how fine a speaker he may be, docs the cause little or no good speaking to-North ern audiences. Chairman Lloyd has written Mr. Aiken asking him to go to Washing ton and assist the Democratic head quarters, and he may go later. The campaign committee compli mented Messrs. Finley and Aiken by publishing their speeches on the tariff ?uni Huip subsidy in the campaign book, which will be read by millions. Plckens Papers Appreciate Aiken. Wo Knew none of the State can didates except Governor Ansel. We are acquainted with both the aspi rants for Congress and both are good men.

Write him on any business matters, and however poor you may be, you will receive a prompt and courteous reply.-Plck ens Sentinel-Journal, Sept. 10, 1908. For our part we want no better representative than Wyatt Aiken. He has done all and more than coud rea sonably be expected of a Congressman from a Southern district in the way of looking after the interests of his constituents. You all know.-Easley Progress, August, 1908. Keep tho Record Straight. (Press and Banner.) The Columbia State, in publishing election returns, Incorrectly stated twice that Mr. Boggs had received 817 votes In Abbeville county, when he actually received 282. In a sense a difference of 530 votes does not af fect the man who is elected, but In another sense lt does. Hundreds of voters who see only this statement are left with the impression that the winning candidate carried his county by only two votes to one when as a matter-of-fact he carried lt by nearly six votes to one. BoantU ^ The Kind You Hava Always 8ouffi THE SITUATION IN NEW YORK. Work of Campaign on in Earnest. Bryan's Rousing Welcome. New York, Sept. 17.-With both com cut lons safely passed, Democrats and Republicans to-day settled down to the work of the State campaign Little real harmony exists on either side. Both oarnps claim ultimate vic tory. Among the Republicans favoring Hughes rejoicing exists. They be lieve the candidates will be swept to victory with the largest plurality in years. They are sure of the State's electoral vote for Taft and express the belief that thc anti-Hughes men will get on the band wagon soon. The natlonnl committee is evidently pleased at Hughes' victory. His nomination enables the party to es cape the stigma of turning down re form measures. Among the Democrats there ls said to he a last minute fight between Murphy and McCarren over the office of State engineer, but lt ls thought that Bryan is squared to the point of satisfaction with both parties. Chanter, it is believed, will make a strong candidate. It is thought that his strength up State ls as great as his strength In New York City. Mr. Brynn in New York.' Mr. Bryan spent a short while in the city this morning, after having made a whirl of 373 miles and de livering fourteen speeches. He makes two speeches in Delaware to day, but returns to New York to morrow, when he will deliver his first address of the campaign In this city. Ho has found nothing hut harmony and enthusiasm among the Demo crats since coming to New York. Didn't Want tho American Giri.

Washington, Sept. 17.-After hav ing drawn the attention of the world to his aeroplane flights at Fort Myer, and having established new world records for heavier-than-air flying machines, Orville Wright met with a tragical mishap while making a two-man flight. The aeroplanist was accompanied by Lieut. Thomas E. Selfridge, of the signal corps of the army. Lieut. Self ridge was fatally Injured and died at 8 o'clock to-nljht. Wright ls severe ly Injured, but ls expected to re cover. While the machine was en circling 'the drill grunds a propeller blade suapped off. and hitting som? other part of the intricate mechan ism caused it to overturn in air and fall to tne ground, enveloping its two occupants in the debris. Soldiers and spectators ran across the Held to where the aeroplane had fallen and assisted Wright and Lieut. Selfridge from under the tangeld mass of machinery, rods, wires and shreds of muslin. Wright was conscious and said: "Oh, hurry and lift the motor." Lieut. Selfridge was unconscious and had apparently struck the ground with force. His head was covered with blood and he was choking when the soldiers extricated him from the ma chine. Wright and Selfridge were taken to Fort Myer Hospital. After a hurried surgical examination it was announc ed that Wright was not dangerously injured. He is suffering from a frac ture of his left thigh and several ot his ribs on the rikht side are frac tured. Both men received deep cuts about the head. Wright regained consciousness and dictated a cablegram to his brother In Le Mans, France, and requested that some message be sent his familv In Dayton, Ohio, assuring them he is all right.

Cueron, Texas, Sept. 14.-Mr. Edi tor: In the Semi-Weekly News of the 11th I notice a special from Ander son, from O. R. McLeese, saying there ls a peculiar insect depredating on the cotton in Oconee county. About one year ago I was in Greenville walt. lng for the West-bound train on the Southern Railway, which waB an hour or so late, and In conversation with several gentlemen about Texas, one man asked me If I lived In Texas and knew anything of the boll wee vil. I told him that I had been here since 1859 and knew all about the weevil, as I had been helping to grow them for thirteen years. Tnls same man was a farmer and lived not far from Anderson. He de scribed the pest perfectly, and I am satis?ed that the pest that Mr. Mc LeeBo speaks of is the Mexican boll weevil. Now there is a pest called the sharpshooters that operates on cotton, but they are not so destruc tive, and. these are local, maybe In one locality one year and then disap pear. I found them at Rock HUI lu 1905. The cotton crop in this (Dewitt) county has been badly damaged this year. Cotton that would have made a bale per acre will hardly averago one-fourth. There are about fifteen counties right here In South Texas that are in bad shape. No want of moisture, for we had all we wanted -yes, and too much for the last twelve months. It is now raining al most dally. Everything green an 1 growing like spring. Respectfully, J. D. Anderson CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought DENSE FOO IN CHICAGO.

Information as to Sheep Raising-A 1 Comparison. (ThP Rtntor ?ept. 6.) Speaking of the efforts of the De partment of Agriculture to stimulate interest in live stock raising In South Carolina, Hon. E. W. Dabbs, of Good will, Sumter county, said yesterday that eight years ago his little boy had been made a present of a pair of sheep. Since that time the Increase from those two sheep had been over 25 head and they had sold $200 worth of wool and six had been killed for mutton. In addition to this many wool blankets had been made. The value of cattle raising upon the farm was touched upon by Mr. Dabbs, too. In addition to the re ceipts for beef and hide, Mr. Dabbs asserts that from every $25 worth of cotton seed meal or hulls fed the cows, $20 is returned In manures for the farm. Then again there is the good value of butter, cheese and milk A Comparison. Dr. Barrow, the South's noted chemist, says: "Many of us are often compelled to consider the question of food from another standpoint. We must con sider the size of our pocketbooks, and again does cotton seed oil stand out triumphant over all competlug mate rials. With butter at 30 cents a pound, lard at 10 cents a pound, and olive oil at $2.50 per gallon, and cot ton seed oil at 50 cents per gallon, or 6 2-3 rents a pound, we And that the price of one pouud of cotton seed oil will only pay for but two-thirds of a pound of lard, about one-lift li of a pound or one-fortieth part of a gal lon of pure olive oil, and frequently the pure olive oil may be nothing mon or less than a high grade of cotton seed oil bearii.g a fictitious label. "It follows, then, that we have In cotton seed oil not only the purest, most nutritious, nourishing, palata ble and strengthening fat we can ob tain, but also for the cheapest of any similar material."
