Special to The News. Durham. Aug. S The grand E campment, of Odd Fellows will hold an annual meeting in Durnara tonignt and will probably be in session Thurs . dav. Numbers of delegates as repre sentatives from the state lodges will be present, and the prospects look as if there will be a large attendance, i nose who arrived today today are: Messrs. W. L. Jeanneret, of Asheville; C. E. Frick. of Charlotte; W. L. Smith, of Wilmington ; F. C. Dunn, of Kinston; J. T. King, of Wilniingpion, and W. Williams, of Elizabeth City. Elabor ate preparations has been made for the meetings, and a general program has been arranged. The taking of evidence in an impor tant case has been going on in Durham for the past two days. It is a case of old standing', but owing to its import ance much interest is being taken in its outcome. The evidence is being tak en by Judge A. W. Montgomery, of Raleigh and the case is that of the Bonsack Machine Company against R. H. Wright, of this city in a suit for $100,000. The case came up for trial once be fore and was sent to the Federal court, Judge A. W. Montgomery, of Raleigh was then appointed to take the evi dence in the case, which he has been doing for sometime the last place he took evidence being in New York. The case in question grows out of the fact that Mr. Wright, was selling the Bon sack machine all over Asia, Africa and South America. Prominent attorneys are retained in the case and it promises to be a hard fought legal battle. The attorneys em ployed in the case are as follows: Messrs. A. H. Burroughs, of New York, and J. H. Pugh, of Raleigh are employ ed by the Bosack Machine Company, and the defendant has retained Messrs. F. H. Busbee, of Raleigh; A. II. Long, of Lynchburg and Judge W. P. Bynum, of Greensboro. Pointed Jaragraphs. From the Chicago News. An othewsie truthful man sometimes talks about himself. One of the things you can't buy on credit is experience. Most real estate investors draw the line at cemetery grounds. Even a wise man and bis money are soon parted by the undertaker. Many prayers would bs more effec tive if they were blue penciled. It isn't necessary for women to be voters in order to become rulers. The persistent man accomplishes a lot of things that are not worth while. It used to be a peculiar fallacy that sense came with age and wisdom with experience. Most men are Qualified to occupy apartments in a lunatic asylum and they can prove it. Lovemaking of the kind usually found in romantic novels makes the i aal thing look like 23 cents. About the best any woman can do when she attempts to make a fool of :i man is to act as nature's assistant. BEDBUG RECIPE. Easy to Get Rid of Them if You Know How.

V I It II I i STRUCK DYNAMITE AND WAS BLOWN UP The Prank of a Lexington Negro Results Disastrously for Him. Another Negro Steps into a Hole and Breaks his Leg. Other News, Special to The News. Lexington, Aug, 8. Returns from a majority of the precincts in the coun ty seem to indicate that Saturday's democratic primaries resulted in the nomination of T. S. F. Dorsett for sheriff, S. W. Finch, for clerk and S. L. Owen for register o deeds. The first and last named are present en cumbents. The other candidates do not appear to have received enough votes to nominate, with the exception of Col. G. F. Hankins, who has no opposition for the house. The primaries all over the county were the largest ever held in Davidson. The issue of old or new countv officers served to bring out men Avho had never attended a pri mary before. The convention next Sat urday will decide the fate ot tne re mainder of the candidates. On the whole it appears that the old officers will win out all along the line. A foolish young negro came to grdef yesterday by tampering with a dyna mite cap. Apparently ignorant of the terrible explosive, he was hammering away on it with a rock when the thing burst, blowing one hand all to pieces. Particles of the cap were blown in the eyes and he may lose his sight, though the physician hopes that his optics are not permanently injured. Another negro, 'employed on the double-tracking force, while engaged in rough and tumble play with several companions, stepped into a hole yes terday morning about one o clock at a sort of negro carousal; and snapped his thigh bone square off. The physi cian attending says it is the worst possible fracture. The ease with which the negro thus broke his leg is sup- prising. The recent rains, general and very heavy, have caused the streams to flood and very much damage has been done to land and crops. The county especially is a heavy loser in the mat ter of bridges, and will probably have to spend one thousand dollars putting in new bridges and repairing those damaged. RUTHERFORD DEMOCRATS. They Meet and Re-elect Mr. J. C. Mills For Third Time. Special to The News. Rutherfordton, Aug. 8. The Demo cratic executive committee of Ruther ford county met here yesterday and reelected Mr. Jno. C. Mills chairman for the third time. The committee, did well in electing Mr. Mills to this "im portant position, as he is one of the party's most active and enthusiastic workers. Other business transacted by the committee was the naming of a candidate for surveyor, as there was no aspirant for that office before the recent primary. Mr. Marion Crow, of Golden Valley township, was named for the place. Out of the twenty-one townships in the county, eighteen were represented. The Republican county . executive committee also met here yesterday for the purpose of looking after their party's interest in the approaching campaign. Their convention for the nominating of the various' county of ficers has been called to meet here Monday, September 3rd, after which the campaign will be begun in earnest. The race for the legislature promis es to be a lively one as there will be three candidates in the field. Mr. S. Gallert is the nominee of the recent Democratic primary. A few days ago Mr. D. F. Morrow announced himself as an independent Democratic candi date for the place, and the third will be in the person of Mr. G. B. Pruett, of Ellenboro, on the Republican ticket. A number of railroad contractors from different parts " of the country were here Saturday and Sunday look ing over the line of the South & West ern between Marion and this point, with a view of bidding on the con struction work. They ' came over the route from Marion here. Among those m the party were: Messrs. C. K. Mount, of Bristol, Tenn.; W. G. Cor pening, of Asheville, N. C; and W. H. Quigg and Wm. H. Mellard, of Phila delphia, Pa. vFrom all indications there will be "something doing" along this line of railroad at no distant day. Misunderstood. From the Catholic Standard.

Lucky to Get Out. From the Cleveland Leader. "Where did you get that song," said she; "I got it out of my head,'said he, "I got it out of my own small head!" "What a luck thing for your head!" she said. Really a Compliment. From the Philadelphia Press. "I wonder who it was who first said 'woman's tongue is like a race horse.' " "I don't know, but evidently he want ed to say a good word for. the wo men." "A good word? You mean a bad word." x "Not at all. A race horse runs only for a few minutes a day and then rests." Police After President. By Associated Press. The police department sent through out the United States a message giving the description of President Stensland and asking for his arrest. The people who shout the loudest for a revolution are usually, out of the country where it Is taking place. GOVERNOR COULD -NOT BE PRESENT i . Press of Business Kept Him from Davidson CountyTc-day. "Long Legged Jim'' Fox Disabled. Some Important Business Changes. Special to The News. Lexington, Aug. 8. The news con veyed by a telegram late yesterday afternoon to the effect that Governor Glenn could not be at Cedar Grove, this county, today, to address a huge gath ering of farmers on education, was received with great disappointment by hundreds of people. The press of public matters was given as a reason for the Governor's inability to attend. Mayhap the lynchers at Salisbury had a hand in robbing us of a day with the pop ular chief executive. However the program was carried out and there was speaking by Hon. J. R. McCrary and others. Mrs. Sallie Leonard, widow of the late Sheriff Leonard, was carried to the Morganton hospital' yesterday fo treat ment. Some weeks ago she lost con trol of her mental faculties and has been mildly insane since. Two important business changes took place this week. Mr. J. L. Peacock retires from the big wholesale grocery firm of R. Eyerhart Son and Company, Mr. O. H. Everhart taking over his in terests. The other change was the re tirement of Mr. L. Everhart from the old tobacco manufacturing firm of R. Everhart and Company, Mr. R. Ever, hart buying him out. The retiring mem ber of the firm has invested in a large wood-working plant in Alexander county. His friends here and in his home county Randolph hear with regret that "Long Legged Jim" Fox, who has been playing first base for the Atlanta team this season, met with an accident that causd an artery to burst in his arm, enforcing his retirement for the season. He collided with a base runner while in the act of reaching part of the way across the diamond after a ball thrown wrildly. He is a crack player and is noted for his ability to pick up a ball anywhere within a radius of 'steen yards. The increased value of Davidson county's taxables approximates $400, 000. Aside from the railroads etc., there is a natural increase of 374,000 in the county. Lexington township leads with $114,000, and Lexington shows an in crease of ?60,000. Thomasville town ship is second with $77,000. MR. BLACK'S PARTY. Now in Toronto, Canada- Are Hav ing a Good Time and Enjoying the Trip. - Special to The News. Toronto, Can., Aug 4. It will prob ably be of interest to the "News" readers to know that the party of North Carolinians, conducted by Rev. Wm. Black, of Davidson, who are touring the North and Northeast, have now reached Toronto, Canada. This is the prettiest, and next to the largest city in Canada. The parlia mentary buildings are located here, besides many schools and colleges, end the residences are as handsome as any in America. So far, the party has visited Washington, Baltimore, Philadelphia and Niagara, and at each of these places several of the rewspapers have put in quite com plimentary pieces about us. We leave Monday for Montreal via the St. Lawrence river and Thousand Island, s and then go to Boston, Northfield and New York and expect to arrive home the latter part of the month. The following is a clipping from the "Toronto Evening Telegram," which is fairly accurate except in one or two minor details: "Under the guidance of Rev. Wm. Black, general evangelist of the Presbyterian Synod in his State, a party of twenty-two tourists from Davidson, North Carolina, are Toron to visitors today, and tomorrow on their way via Montreal to Northfield, 'Mass., where they will attend a Bible conference. The party in cludes a number of students of the Davidson Presbyterian College, and some eight winsome daughters of the college professors and Davidson merchants and cotton exporters. The ladies are: Mrs. J. S. Ramsay, Misses Essie Jetten, Rena Potts, Flora Johnston, Lillian Williams, Annie Hoover, Lollie Rigsby, Ella Graham, Margaret Turner. "I know Canadians well," said Rev. Mr. Black. "The last time I came here was in 1901 and nearly every year I pilot a party to the Pacific coast." Ice Trust Indicted. By Associated Press. Philadelphia. Aug, 8.

The county Republican convention1 met here to day in the colored Odd Fellows' hall with forty-five delegates, .only two of them white, Mr. J. C. Hunter and Mr. D. C. Gist. It is said that there , had been con siderable wire pulling previous to the convention meeting for the nomi nation of county cnairman, and when this came up James W. Wallace, a negro barber, was put up against J. Pack Sartor, of Carlisle, who has been county chairman some twelve years. Sartor, however, was re-elected, and he with John D. Norris was elected delegate to the State conven tion in Columbia on Wednesday, Aug. 8th, this being the first time in many years that the delegation has been without a white man. J. W. Daw kins . was re-elected, secretary, and alternate to the State convention, Mr. D. C. Gist. Delegates to the district convention, the time . and place for which will be selected at Columbia, are Mr. D. C. Gist, John W. Ren wick and J. J. Jeter, ; with J. S. Kelly alternate. !: " The fe'ature"6f the ' 'convention was the resolution introduced by John D. Norris, one paragraph of which de veloped very great interest. It was as follows: "We .further look upon the decent manner and impartial way in which the post office is conducted in Union city, as beinf, commendable and to the credit of the party, in power." As soon as the , resolutions were finished, J. W. DePaur moved that they be amended by omitting the paragraph referring to the Union post office. This - precipitated debate in which some dozen delegates took part, J. W. Wallace urging that the paragraph be not only retained but made much stronger.. This thei con vention finally refused to do, though it had done so for many years previ ous, which as retusing tne endorse ment of the convention some say puts, a new phase on the situation here as far as the Republican party is concerned. During this debate Mr. Hunter is said to have paid his compliments in quite forcible language, both to the people of Union and to the members of the convention. When asked by a. press representative if he had a statement to make, however, he said he had nothing to say for publica tion. Special The News. ' Greensboro, Aug. 8 Greensboro Typographical Union.
