No county candidates will then be nominated, us that will be done (as usual) at another ! convention to be held later. J This convention will elect dele- 1 gates to the State convention, which meets at Greensboro on the 23rd of June, and also to the Con gressional and Senatorial district conventions. There is no particu lar interest felt in the two latter conventions, because Hon. E. W. Pou will be nominated for Con gress without opposition, and the two Senators from this district will be nominated by Richmond and Scotland counties, as Chat ham and Moore had the last two Senators. It seems to be conceded that this county will send a solid Stedman delegation to" the State convention.
