The Democratic Conventie 11 f»r
the With Senatorial district, compos
ed of the counties of Burke, Cald
wcl l , McDowell, Mitchell and Yancy
was Lel»l in Marion on Tuesday the
10th 111 st. all the counties being fully
represented Mr. J. (i. *Bynum »f
Morganton was elected ch«iiman
and I). Klliott of Bakersville Secre
tary. On the call of counties to nonj
' natc candidates, i'rof. \\. K. Aber
netliy of Burke noniinated Hartwed
S. Blair, of Caldwell, in an elo
quent and well timed speech. Cald
well county, in the person of \V. H.
Bower Ksq , seconded the nomina
tion of Mr. Blair, ami put in nomina
tion for the second Senator. Mr. S.
B. Briggs, of Burr.esville Yancey
county. All the other counties sec
onded the nomination of the two
ntlemen naiued and on motion tiie
nominations were both made unani
mous by a rising vole.
Mr. was called and **e-j■ t
ed the nomination in a short but
nractical and sound Democratic
speech. He is a man of «*ood sound
judgement ami fair business |u;t j 1 -
ties. He has been several vears
Cie 1 k of the Supeiior Court of Yan
cey, but is now a* farmer in good
standing.
Mr. J>;ai 1 was called and followed
Mr. Brings in a speech which his ejld
acquaintances and friends were ex
pecting to hear, and which saiisfie-d
all who hraid him for the first time
that the convention had made no
mistake. It was thought that Mc
Dowell would contest Caldwell's
right to furnish a Senator this year,
and Mr. I. V Greenlee had been se
lected as McDowell's candidate, but
before the convention assembled the
matter was harmonized, and Mr.
Blair s speech satisfied .Mr. Greenlee
and his most ardent admirers and
-upporteis. tl at the compromise had
been wisely entered into. Mr.
Greenlee responded to a ca'l made
on him and urged the greatest liar- 1
inonv and most unwavering suppoit
of the candidates, p edging his owi
best efforts when they should be
most needed. The convention was
tilled with the same and harmo •
ny that Las characterized all Demo- :
cratio conventions thin year, ahd
which is a sure feign of sticce£« upry
where. We should have stated that
while the committee on organization 1
was out W. H. Bower was called to,

('ti )a>t Monday evening those of
us who heard it were checked when
the news was brought to town that
three of Mr I' C Halls rhildr, n,
had bee i: seriouslv hint.
Some time- in tl afternoon Mon I
1 ' 1
day (ieorge and Maggie Hall to.»k
their baby sister for a ride behind a
horse thought te> be perfectlv
for children to drive.
The three children were enjoying
their ride out toward the South
Feuk River, when the horse for
some mysterious and unknown
reason became suddenly frightened
and began to kick and run Then it
was that the greatest neive and
presence ( t mind we ever heard e>f
chiMren possessing was brought into
action, (ieorge said t> his lister,
"Hold the babv in the buggv, while
he hung te> the horse* with all his
strength, which however availed
nothing. Maggie savs she does not
know how it occurred, but the babv
was Ihe first fo fal'l from the l»u«'«'v
an 1 she* was tie*\t. In falling her
aj»ron strings were caught in the
.wheel and 1 wa" draggt d about
thirty yard- over the rocks ami was
severely wounded and bruised,
(ieorge whs the-n thrown out and
dragged lor -euoe distance and sus
famed several very seve*re* wounds
and bruises. Maggie says as soon
as she* was able dragged herself
to where (ieoige was lying, the bahv
having been picked up by Mr. kil
lian, took his head in her lap. and
placing an arm around the babv.
waited till some water and restora
tives could be brought. A more
touching picture" of sisterly iove»
could not possibly be? imagined.
George is more seriously injured
than the lest of the children and at
last reports was unconscious. The
baby sustained tie le-ast injurv. Dr. '
Baker thinks there is no immediate .
danger. Our heartfelt sympathies
are tendered te) the family.
LATHl—After nearly 24 hours.
George recovered consceousness ami
is now considered ouf of danger.
