THUBSpjY, May 20, 1904. Local Records. Every white man in Chatham ought to read The Record dur ing the campaign. Quite a number of - deaths h.ive occurred here lately, but they were only poisoned dogs. For sale cheap A twelve horse power traction engine, saw mill and wheat thresher. Apply to H. A. London, attorney. Rev. W. F. Thorn will hold services at the Presbyterian church at this place on next Sun day morning and night.. The University commence ment neit week will attract many ! of our countymen to Chapel Hill, as is customary every year. I The revenue ring controls the : Republican party in North Caro lina now just as much as during the days of Col. Ike Young. - Among the prominent Repub licans at their State convention last week were convicted crimi nals, who were convicted of de frauding the government. Poe-Atwater Mer. Co. keep the best line of gents' furnishing goods to be found in Pittsboro. Their stock of shoes and hats is the best they have ever shown. The children and teachers of the Episcopal Sunday school at this place will have a picnic today oil Robeson s creek, near the resi dence of Mrs. A. M. Haughton. Gov. Aycock has offered a re ward of $200 for the arrest of Ed ward Dowd, wLo killed William A. Smith last March and has thus far evaded arrest. See the procla mation iu another column. "Greed, Grab and Graft" are the expressive words uttered by Judge Bynum in describing the motives of the revenue gang who controlled the Republican State convention at Greensboro last week. At the Democratic primary held here last. Saturday the fol lowing were elected as the town ship executive committee: D. M. Poe (chairman), A. H. Bynnm, S. 1). Gilmore. J. W. Griffin and J. H. Ihrie. The Republican State con vention, while pretending to favor temperance, denounced the best temperance law ever passed in this State. , The Republican reve nue leaders cannot thus fool the people who realty believe in tem perance. It was hoped that with the elimination of the negro from pol itics the Republican party in North Carolina would be more respectable, but its State conven tion last week showed that it is still controlled by a gang of un principled office-holders. Of course no intelligent per sou has any idea that the Repub lican State ticket will be elected. These candidates were nominated merely as a matter of form, and with the certainty of being de feated, but they hope to be re warded with a Federal office for making the race. When you buy shoes for your self or family, you want to buy the best. If you will go to W. L. London & Son's 3-ou can buy the best shoes you have ever worn for just a little lesg money than any where else. Buy Walk-Overs for men and Godmans for ladies and children. More business enterprises have been started in this State and there has been a greater in dustrial development during Gov ernor Aycock's administration than ever before known. And yet business men are urged by Repub lican revenue officers to desert the I)emocratic party. "We regret to hear of the death of our old friend, Mr. Matthew Atwater, who died on Tuesday night of last week, aged about 80 years. He was one of the most upright men whom we have ever known. He lived a long and use ful life and had won the confidence and respect of all who knew him. Have yon bought 3Tou a suit of clothes this season? If. not, let W. L. London & Son show you what they have. They can sell you a suit for $10.00 that brings 12.50 in any other market. They make a special of $10.00 suits, and have them in black and colors, stouts, regulars and slims. Mr. J. A. Giles went to Ral eigh last Monday to familiarize himself with the duties of Assis tant U. S. District Attorney, to which office he has been appoint ed, as predicted by The Record. We extend congratulations, for as only a Republican could be ap pointed we are glad he was the lucky one. Poe-Atwater Mer. Co. have enjoyed an unusually large trade in dress goods this season. The ladies say they have the prettiest line of dress, goods ever shown in Pittsboro, -and-Mr. Atwater says they have by fafthe prettiest line ever shown aV Bynum. Call and see them; Thev will be dad to si low VOU whef.hpr vnn w-jinf. to ! I ' It is very significant that ev ery nominee of the Republican State convention was nominated by acclamation and without any opposition. This proves either . that the ticket was "cut and dried" j (previously arranged by the boss es) or that nobody but the nomi nees were foolish enough-'to ac cept so empty an honor(?). Personal Items Mr. Bennet Nooe, Jr..will return tomorrow from Trinity College. Mr. J. C. Huske, of Fayetteville, spent several days here this week. Mr. H. A. London, Jr., of Char lotte, has been here on a short vis it to his parents. Mrs. James McClennahan, of Washington, is visiting her sister, Mrs. B. Nooe. Mr. and Mrs. H. A.

County Convention Iu pursuance of the official call, a convention of the Democrats of Chatham was held on day, for the purpose of electing 1 . m delegates to the State convention and the Congressional and Sena toiial district conventions. The convention was called to order by R. H. Hayes, as chair man of the fiouuty executive com mittee, who requested Dr. R. M. Roberson and W. E. Brooks to act as temporary secretaries. The roll of the townships was called and every one of the town ships was reported as represented. On motion of O. D. Palmer, the temporary organization was made permanent. On motion, of N. G. Yarbor ough a committee of one from every township (selected by the delegates from each township) was appointed to recommend the dele gates to the several conventions. On motion of H. A. Loudon, it was resolved that the delegates from this county to the Senatorial convention are instructed to vote for the nomination of the two sen atorial candidates who may be en dorsed by Richmond and Scot laud counties respectively. And any Democrat from Chatham who may attend said convention is au thorized to act as a delegate. On motion of R. II. Hayes (N. G. Yarborough beiug called to the chair)the following resolution was adopted: Resolved, by the Democratic convention of Chatham county that we endorse the couise of Hon. E. W. Pou as member of the House of Representatives from this district and that the dele gates from this county cast its vote for his nomination at the coming congressional convention for a seat in the next Congress. The committee reported the fol lowing delegates to the State con ventions: J. W. Perry, James B. Atwater, J J. Peoples, E. B. Brewer, D. Y. White, W. C. Maddox, D. M. Bridges, RH. Hayes, H. A. Lon don, Isaac H. Straughan, M. K. Perry, S. P. Teague, W. A. Head en, Dr. T. A. Kirkman, C. W: Womble, G. D. Frasier, W. D. Si ler, O. A. Hanner, J. M. Foust, L. E. Rollins, N. G. Yarborough, T. W. Segroves, A. George Hannah, L E. Cole, J. F. Williams and J. E. J ohnson. The chairman was authorized to appoint delegates to the con gressional and senatorial conven tions. On motion of N. G. Yarbor ough a vote was taken by town ships for the nomination for Gov ernor, which resulted as follows: Stedman'41, Glenn 22 and Tur ner 1. No vote was taken for the candidates for any other office. While the friends of the differ ent aspirants were active and zealous for their favorite, yet nothing was said or done to wound the feelings of any bod y, and the utmost harmony prevailed. The convention was much larger than might have been expected at this busy season, many of the del egates having come over twenty miles. ' After the convention adjourned the county executive committee met and elected the following as the central committee: R. H. Hayes (chairman), W. L. London, M. T. Williams, J. M. Griffin, R. W. Bland and W. E. Brooks. P. S. Since the above was put in type we hear that the secreta ries say that they made a mistake in adding up the votes for. Glenn, which ought to have been 30. Mr. J. A. Odell, of Greensboro, makes a gift of $5,000 to Greens boro Female College rebuilding and endowment fund. The gift follows the one of $10,000 made Tiw A! "R "W "nnlre. nf Durham. The Haywood Bridge.

They are on an average of 18 feet by 6 feet at the bot tom, and 14i by 3i feet at the top. In height they vary from 33 feet to 36 feet. There is no danger pf their ever wearing out or wash ing away. ".; The superstructure will be placed on these piers in a few weeks, and when completed it will be the best bridge in this county. Chatham's Confederate Monument.

Lms Allen and Charles Uraxton, were crossing the crossing the river iu a canoe. Ihe hve made too much of a load for the boat and before reaching shore it capsized and sunk in deep water.

In the begin ning all men were black, but in ! their wanderings on the earth many of them have become bleach ed. And iu their unnatural palor maii3T of these bleached men, all of whom were made black at the be ginning, now look with contempt and indifference often with prej udice and hate upon their broth er, because the negro has retained the color that God gave them." Such was the declaration of the Rev. H. Turner, senior bishop of the African Methodist Episcopal church, in an address in Quinn Chapel before one of the sessions of the church conference. The chapel was packed" with negroes, who are leaders of the religious work of their race, and all ap plauded vociferously. A Boy Buried Alive. Special to News and Observer. New Bern, May 23 While three boys, Furnie Harrell, Jamie Tolsou and George Parsons, were gathering sand for scouring pur poses at the sand bauk in James City near Sullivan's saw mill, a mass of sand overhanging the ex cavation in which they were gave away and young- Harrell was buried beneath three or four feet of the earth. His companions rushed off and secured help, but it was fifteen minutes after Harrell's rescue before he regained con sciousness. A few minutes longer in that living grave and he would have been past all help. Killed By Broom. Special to News and Observer, Greensboro, May 23. David Fulp, aged 18 years, an operative at.
