MOREHEAD IS ELECTED NATIONAL COMMITTEEMAN OVER DUNCAN. MARION BUTLER RETURNS Convention Was Noisy and Unruly, Only Hushed Into Silence By Un expected Turn In Events. Raleigh.—John Motley Morehead was elected National Committeeman over E. Carl Duncan. His election came after one of the most thrilling and dramatic incidents that has ever tq,ken place in a political convention, wherein E. Carl Duncan, the Republi can leader of this state for many years, faced his arch-enemy Marion Butler on the platform and denounced him in terms that burnt and blistered, while that foxy individual smiled craftily and stroked his whiskers. The convention, noisy and unruly from the beginning, was hushed into silence by the unexpected turn of events and they listened at first with rapt attention. Soon the tension snap ped and Carl Duncan, who had ruled with a rod of iron, for whose wisdom the party had always had the highest respect, for the first time heard him self hissed in a Republican conven tion. He stood his ground stubbornly, but it was no use. And this is how it came about. Butler had gone out with the platform committee and the convention was sailing along merrily without him. A set of delegates to the National con vention had been selected, eight of them, and everything was ready for a vote that, apparently, would be all one way. Butler’s Cumberland Coun ty representative, McCaskill, had mov ed to sidetrack the list of delegates and elect a National Committeeman. The convention sat down on him, vot ing practically unanimously to pro ceed. Some one moved the election of Morehead, at Butler’s suggestion, and there was a call for making it unani mous by acclamation. It looked like it was going through with a whoop when Cy Thompson blocked it with the nomination of E. C. Duncan. Then followed one of the warmest df'bates ever heard in a state conven tion, and it was some time before the crowd settled down sufficiently for a vote to be taken. The final vote stood 335 for Duncan and 761 for Morehead The big fight was over, but the smaller conflict remained—the election of four delegates to the Chicago con vention. Some argument resulted over the eight delegate plan, which went into the discard. A tedious roll- call finally resulted in the election of the following: J. S. Lewis, of Randolph, who led with 92 votes; Thomas Settle and J. J. Britt, of Buncombe, and W. S. O’B. Robinson of Wake. Alternates were chosen as follows: Clarence Call, Wilkes; L. L. Wrenn, Chatham; H. S. Williams, Cabarrus; John E. Cameron, Lenoir. Electors at large, John E. Fowler of Sampson and John A. Hendrick of Madison. The naming of the State Executive Committee followed: Firgt dirstict, Hugh Paul, Wash ington; second district, George W. Stanton, Wilson; third district, J. S. Basnight, Newbern; fourth district, J. J. Jenkins^ Siler City; fifth district, FOIBROMCHITIS, WHOOPIIIG COUGH, CROUP. COBMS AND COLDS Make the Best Remedy at Home—128 Teaspoonsful for 50 ceats.

DOWNWARD COURSE Fast Being Realized by Marion People. A little backache at first. Daily increasing ’till the back is lame and weak. Urinary disorders may quickly follow; Dropsy and often Bright’s disease. This frequently is the downward course of kidney ills. Don’t take this course. Follow the advice of a Marion citizen. Mrs. Hester Arrowood, Garden St., Marion, says: “I consider Doan’s Kid ney Pills the only medicine to use for kidney trouble. I always recommend them when I have an opportunity. My kidneys were out of order and I had pains in my back and sides. At night I was restless and arose in the morning all tired out. Hearing about Doan’s Kidney Pills, I procured them at Street- man’s Drug Store and gave them a trial. They did me a world of good.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t sim ply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same,that Mrs. Ar rowood had. Foster-MilburnCo..ProD8 Buffalo, N. Y. Employ no Children Under Age.

The legal phrase “natural life” is a sort of a puzzle to some people, who wonder if the law recognizes any “un natural life.” It does not. but the old common law did recognize an unnatu* ral death m well as a natural one When a man or woman takes the mo nastic vow people still speak of It as “leaving the world.” In mediaeval times that was considered a form of death, and the phrase “natural life” came into use to describe an existence terminated by the grave, not by the convent or the abbey.—New York Mail Triple Plated Knives Mtotmped last longer through harder service than any other be cause they have a round bolster, which does away with sharp comers (where blade is joined to handle) where wear is constant and hardest.
