Another Freshet in Roanoke River. Roanoke Rapids, May 22. On ac count of the recent heavy rains in this section, Roanoke river has been very' high for the pa?t week or more. The Patterson Mill had to shut down for want of sufficient power to run, a few days. The mill is running now, but a few rooms in the day and the others at night, in order to fur nish work for the operatives. We hope that i t will run on full time very soon. However, this freshet did not reach as high a point as did the one in March. pit io.n. it! i Cuic be sine you :ct It is taken internally '"!"ilo.

Smith, pro prietor of the shirt factory, states that his loss will be approximately about $16,000, and the loss estimat ed for the hosiery mill building, in cluding the boiler and engine, will add at least $3,000 more to the loss. The fire was first discovered by the employees in the shirt factory about 9:30 o'clock and when first een was issuing from the second story. J. H. Darden, N. H. M. W. E. Butterwood Brewer.

Clark introduced the fol lowing resolution which was unani mously adopted: Resolved by the democrats of Hal ifax County in convention assembled: 1. That this Convention hereby heartily endorse Hon. Walter E. Daniel for Lieutenant Governor, and Hon. E. L. Travis for Corporation Commissioner for the short term, and instructs all its delegates to the State Convention to use every honor able effort to secure their nomina tion. 2. That Halifax County, in ask ing for these two positions, one of them being merely honorary, re minds the State that she has not had a representative on the State ticket in fifty years, although throughout that period she has been one of the bulwarks of Democratic strength, and one of the party's mainstays in every crisis that has arisen. She now presents her two sons than whom no two men in the State are more eminently fitted for the posi tions they seek. No delegates were elected to the congressional convention which meets in Rocky Mount on Tuesday, June 4th, but a motion was adopted to make any good Democrat in the county a delegate to that conven tion. Our present congressman and county man, Hon. Liauae Kitcnin, was enthusiastically endorsed for the nomination All State candidates having no opposition were endorsed and the delegates instructed to vote for them. The convention was well attended and was very harmonious except for the vote on Corporation Commis- i . . t r- t m sioner oetween non. i. 1j. iravis and Mr. S. G. Daniel for the short term. After a discussion of the matter the convention decided to al low Mr. Daniel his part of the vote as certified from the townships. Only Roanoke Rapids handed in a certified vote and Mr. Daniel was given his strength as voted by the people of that township. The convention then adjourned. COUNTY EXECUTIVE COMMUTER.
