L The first gnn of the State campaign of 1902 was fired last Friday, when Chai-iman Wilie Jones, of the State Democratic Executive Committee, iseued a call for a meeting of that ?omBiitte. to be held in the office of the Secretary of State on the evening of April it. This meeting is simply for the purpose of issuing the formal call for the State Convention to le held on May 21. Here is what Hicks says in April umber of his great Word tvrd Works to the farmers: "Plan to get your oropg in at the earliest possible moment, and resolve that you will not let the ground bake b*rd, after n single shower, but that yon will keep it tirred, woodless and soft, even if the dust should become knee deep in IrAtl r U !

Aucr a wrnri^!<? up'>!i a certain bill u in the Senate, a motion t>b made *'< to indefinitely postpone, one of the * Senators befan apf?aking to this mo- ,r tion, when Mr. Tillman called him g down and ruled him out of rder, 1 stating that a motion to postpone indefinitely was rot debatable. The j Senator took issue with him. Till- r< 1 man citad Jefferson's Manual as au1 thoritr and later suggested that the * r< committee on rules to whom the f( questiou wad referred, study the q| Manual. Ho also stated that ho had o telegraphed Hon. W. P. Frye, Preai- v dent of the U. S. Senate, and Hon. ? ' y 1). B. Henderson( speaker of the House of Representatives, in regard tl to the matter ard both had sustained h his ruling. It now developep that ^ this wus a deliberate mistatement of the facts, as the telegrams of both w thase gentlemen have beea giveu to y the press, and both say the motion ? is debatable. ? This puts Mr. Jim Tillman' in a p hole from which it will no doubt re-? b uuire his best wits to make his ee- b L cape. Had he held that as Jefferson's Manual was silent on this point.it left it discretionery with the chair- e inun <ir president to decide, he might p] hav? had some ground upon which B to stand. Hut ovou this would have , been dangerous ground, for "us u h mutter of fact, these motions have b been debated in the Senate for many f) years.'' Quoting from Senator Barn- . well, who also said that he thought ,.( that nt the Inst session an amend- a moat hud been adopted allowing such c a motion to be debated. But Mr. Tillman knocked even this tottering ? n support from under hiui when he ae- n liberately stated thut both of the e: parliamentarians to whom he had ap- C pealed sustained his ruling, when a' exactly the reverse was the case. He 1* took u desperate chance, when he calculated that this thing would not he investigated and the truth brought to light, and he lost. Verily, the wuv of the transgressor is hard. ?: T The following is a list of the Carnogh libraries nd the amounts he ho? ^'ivco. to u.?h. We don't find ^ i.i n in. t1.-.
