Often tney nave their Lntive committee call and their ..ntinn before the Democrats make a start. Their convention March ltvo years ago when the sole ob Lt of a meeting appears to have been L overthrow of National Committee man E. C. Duncan, was long ahead of rte Democratic convention which had is much harmony as the Republicans tad chaos. Save the hot denuncia tion of Marion Butler by Cam Morri jon, there was hardly any excuse for 'ny meeting. There is one this year. No rules for the holding of the regular Demo cratic primary have been laid down and this convention will do that. It will write some sort of a platform, will fill vacancies and of course fix the time of the State conventinn. It will name z day for precinct meetings md county primaries for the -selection cf delegates to the various con rations. It will fix a common day tor holding county conventions. The convention itself loses greatly in importance each year. It cannot manipulate now as the time-honored Institution once did. The primaries settle everything. Of course, the State convention called in conjunc tion with the meeting of the executive committee Tuesday night, March 5, in the" Senate chamber, will be held in advance of the regular June primary. The Republicans have not justified (he Democratic complacency. Per haps there would have been no such talk if the Republicans had not over looked their convention. In the 1915 eampaign they took such an early start that they were having their , ex ecutive committee meeting in Novem ber, a year ahead of the election. They had a disastrous year in 1916. The defeat of Duncan was such an iffront to the better Republican ele ent that it seems to have lost its fighting heart. Some of the Candidates. Six years ago" the ostensible pur Vtee of the Democratic convention ws the formulation of a platform, fte election of delegates to the nat ional convention and the fixing of Fimary dates, but the inevitable con elusion of those who heard the con tentions of Kitchin and Simmons men ws that meetings were a try-out of Jtrength. Everybody was uneasy. eople forgot everything that vear or the Senate. Senator Simmons roes back this Jear without an opponent. He has jworoea nearly all the honors that and his friends expected and many ey.did not look for.

The world's horse market must te restocked. The European war is depleting this market daily and European horse breeders have ceased activities almost entirely. America is called upon to furnish im mense shipments of horses and mules for overseas and unless this continent's output cf these animals is increased greatly and speedily, the already existing scarcity will develop into dearth. Prices paid for horse flesh have already soared to undreamed-of figures, i Western Canada offers all the needed essentials for the successful breeding of horses and Canadian farmers are not blind to their oppor tunity. Greater areas of new lands are being broken each season and, while many tractors are used in this work, a majority of farmers still cling to horse power. This creates a large local demand for heavy draft ; horses. A demand greater than the present supply. A demand that calls : for an immense increase in this in dustry. Western Canada's climate, water and .feeds all make for fine draft horses and particularly Perch- erons. the best liked horse in Canada. third; Frank A. Daniels of the fourth; Henry P. Lane of the eleventh; B. F. Long, of the fifteenth; and W. J. Adams of the thirteenth will hardly have any opponents. Judge T. H. Calvert, latest judicial appointee of Governor Bickett, will have much of a scrap here in Wake and Franklin. There will be a. Corporation Com missioner chosen, but Judge George P. Pell seems to have no opposition. ' The 10 Congressmen must stand ! again for election. Godwin In the ! pearer. One can go without a pass Sixth will have the "usual number, ! in eyent one is accompanied by a per about 15, with the usual result. Hood j son 7 has a Pass and who is will- in the Third must beat Abernethy, solicitor, and George Butler is ready to run again if anybody vants him. d. r. xveiin aiso nuus me yicasmc hard to resist, though he fears his views may lead him into jail. In the Eighth, Doughton must beat Walter Murphy and there are Frank Linney and Dr. J. Ike Campbell over whom the Republicans will dispute. Dr. Campbell and Major Murphy will sail into Doughton's war record Campbell is a Roosevelter who thinks Bernstorff should have been kicked out of America the day of the' Lusi tania sank', war should have been de clared and by now three of four American millions of soldiers would be dictating peace to Germany. Dr. Campbell will take no advantage of the unpopularity of the war. Morehead vs. Simmons. Guerilla warfare against the Dem ocracy is certain and whether there is a real State organization doing bat tle, it is general Republican comment that John M. Morehead will oppose Senator Simmons. Senator Butler has promised to do this if Morehead will not run. Should Morehead make the race, Butler would be in readiness for Overman, two years hence. The former Congress man from the. fifth has given no in terviews on hs own hook, but men who know talk about the race. The Hickory meeting in November seeni3 to have had a good deal of this in it and as a pre-election get-together was highly successful, but there is no more from it. It is said by Charlotte Republicans that Mr. Morehead thinks highly of a proposition to put a big Republican daily into the field when, he gets in the race. It would be edited in Char lotte and nobody would expect that it have any other mission than ad vancing Republican doctrine. Mr. Morehead has a vast amount of money which he could spend easily in this way. There is a great deal of par tisan dissatisfaction with both Dem ocratic dailies in Charlotte. All those are promised by Republicans wo pre tend to, know the plans of Mr. More head and his associates. Henry West, negro of 21 years, is held on a charge of attempt at crimin al assault upon Margaret Doolittle, nine-year -old girl. West was pre paring to leave Raleigh for Oxford when caught by the police. Governor Bickett has received the report of Colonel James H. Young, in command of a spanisn-American rei ment in 1898, and Berry O'Kelley. who wp.nt to Camp Jackson last week and talked insurance to the colored sol- These men are insured 97 per cent not the maximum, but nearly all have taken something. The officers thank the Governor. Accidents will happen and a girl might as well get used to having her heart broken once in a while. The Percheron brood mare is a double earner, being also the farm er's work horse. Mr. E. A. Davenport, a successful Alberta breeder oi Percherons for many years, contends that environ ment is at times more powerful a factor than heredity; that the best strains will deteriorate if placed in unfavorable environments. Western Canada, he claims, has soil suitable for the growing of feed that will produce strong, perfect and enduring frames; has a bright, pure and brac ing atmosphere that makes for lung development and blood-building; has sufficient mineral matter in food and water to develop dense, flinty bones; MUST HAVE PASSED.

Changes m the operation of the steamer Wilmington are not contem plated by her new owners, Capt. L. ID roan THE PHONE 176 a ' v' 1 ' isin fact, the ideal environment for the breeding of draft horses. Mr. Davenport lays stress on the commercial value of bran as a horse food. It develops the strong bones, dense tendons, tough hoof s. and pow erful muscles for which Canadian horses are already famous. He claims that Western Canada can .al most better than any other section of the country, produce draft horses of ideal quality and development as regards frame, vigor, stamina, con stitution, action, docility and dura bility. The Canadian bred Percherons combine the essential ; requirements necessary in a horse that works hard either in the city or upon the farm. D. Potter and Mr. R. R. Stone, It is announced, and the vessel will con tinue to operate between this city and Southport, making as many trips daily as necessary to accommodate passenger travel and freight. The on ly changes anticipated will be with the object of improving the service. Captain Potter, who was born at Southport and who; was for. many; years a. resident of tills '.city, was, as sociated with 'the late Cabt. John W. Harper and this fact, makes him all the more determined to keep the Wil mington in the Cape Fear river. FUNERAL FROM RESIDENCE. Remains of Mr. Isaac S. King Interred In Bel levue Cemetery.
