FROM THE CAPITOL
t OF OUR STATE
Congressional Nomination in the 'Sixth
\
May 9, I >O4.
It seems to be settled that there '
will be a warm contest for tbfeCon 1
gressioual Domination in ttafl sixth
district. are several tspir
ants for the hotniK inAudhijf Sena- 1
ator Brown, of Columbus, and Mr. 1
Metres,of New Hanover (and prob- •
ably others) besides the present in- 1
cumbent, Mr. Patterson. Several 1
gentlemen from the lower end of 1
the district, who were here last
week, stated that, if Mr. Patterson
does not secure a reaotnination, I
the honor is most likely to be con- '
ferred on Hon. Joseph A. Brown, 1
of Columbus, who is well known
all over Eastern North Carolina as
one of the best and safest men in
the State.
Congressman Patterson appears
to occupy an anomalbus position in
this contest. Although he has
served only one term, the statement
is made that he will not be able to
secure the vote of his own county
(Roberson) in the coming conven
tion; that at the most he would be
able to secure only a minority of
the votes of the delegates from
Roberson county. If this predict
ion proves to be true, it is possible
(uot to say probable) that Mr Pat
tirson's name inay not be presented
to the convention at all. I atn not
personally acquainted with the ex
act 1 ause of this dissatisfaction,
but am led to believe that it is, to
a large extent, personal in its char
acter. In order to throw some
light on the subject the following
extracts are taken from an editor
ial in the Lumberton Argus of May
6:
" Mr. Patterson, while having
displeased no one during his term,
yet will into the convention
under peculiar circumstances, as
his friends of two years ago, hav
ing been so bitterly assailed, will
hesitate to press his claims, while
it is doubtful whether those who
opposed him two years ago have
sufficient interest in his return to
take the initiative in securing Rob
eson's vote for Mr. Patterson. * * *
But we doubt the issue, much as
we. are personally attached to Mr.
Patterson. But sßall Robeson see
her son led to the slaughter-house ?
If unity demands it, of course Mr.
Patterson will not push his candi
dacy, and just here we would hope,
that he will not allow his name
presented unless he is confideut of
at least a majority of Robeson's
vote."
• * •
The election of delegates to the
Democratic State Convention is at
tracting much interest at this time.
Among the counties holding con
ventions or primaries last week
were New Hanover, Hprnett, Dur
' ham, Union, Gaston and Stokes.
1 Maj. Stedman will receive the solid
' votes of Durham, Harnett and New
1 Hanover. Mr. Glenu gets the
' solid vote of Stokes(his native coun
l ( ty) while Union and Gaston divide
" their votes between Glenn, Sted
ijman and Turner. Gov. Turner
• ( nny also receive some votes from
Harnett if the utii rule is not ob
' served. His greatest strength,
however, lies in the Bth and 9th
Congressional districts.
Col. George L. Mort>n will re

A Cm for Piles
"I had a bad case of piles," says
G. F. Carter, of Atlanta, Ga.,"*nd
consulted a physician who advised
me to try a box of DeWitt'a Witch
Hazel Salve. I purchased a box
and was entirely cured. It is splend
id for piles, giving relief instantly,
and I heartily recommend it to all
sufferers." DeWitt's Witch Hazel
Salve is unequalled for its healing
qualities. Eczema and other skin
diseases, also sores, cuts, burns and
wounds of every kind are cured by

I Gov. Aycock states that he ex
| poets to receive another proposition
this week for the lease of the A &
N. C. R. R. He already has two
such proposals in hand, which still
rcmaiu good—one from Philadel
phia people and the other from the
N. C. Syudicate represented l y
Finleyson and Mills. But the ap
plication fur a receiver, brought
last week before U. S. Judge Pur
nell by a private stockholder resid
ing in New Jersey, named Culyer,
ties the lease offers up till after the
hearing, which is set for May 21.
In the mean time the report of the
Governor's investigating committee
is expected to be made. It has
already been delayed much longer
than the public expected, for some
unexplained reason.

Advices received from Fayette
ville, where Judge Peebles is hold
ing a a-wecks term of Cumberland
county Superior Court, state that
all efforts made during the past
week by mutual friends to "adjust
the diflerences" between Judge
Peebles and the Robeson county
lawyeri were a failure. It is now
stated tint the Judge will at once
have a 'rule served on the lawyeis
requirm.; them to appear b.-fo e
him the last of this week and show
cause why they shall not be punisl.-
ed for contempt of court. As the
presiding judge is regarded as the
"court," it loaks like the conduct
of the attorneys at Lumberton wus
a pretty pla 11 case of "contempt."
What the "punishment" will lie
remains to be seen. It is very gen
erally agreed that Judge Peebles
cannot afford to allow matters to
rest long;r as tliey now are.

'T* FUNNY FACT9Bji7T^
Mr. G. K. Chesterton, discourag
ing a tendency to take hit paradoxes
frivolously, makes u profession of
complete seriousness in the London
News:
"I should like to state ot once,
for the benefit of those particular
people, that to me the only perfoct
pleasure in life is the pleasure of
fighting for something in which one
passionately believes ar.d that if
that were left to mo 1 would do
without daylight and tobacco. Ido
think my own opinions vory fur.nv.
But I also think them absolutely
true. I think it very funny, for in
stance, that Mr. Kipling should be,
as he is, psychologically incapable
cf a patriotic emotion and be, nev
ertheless, lniiled everywhere a3 a
patriotic poet. But I think it fun
ny because I think it is the fact.
The humor cf it is like the humor
of a hippopotamus. The principal
humor übout a hippopotamus is that
he exists.''
Good Buelnast.
"I first met Toole in 1858," said
Mr. John Billipgton, the veteran
actor, "when he joined the company
for' Good For Nothing" for the first
season at the New Adelphi, the one
before the present theutcr. We had
many experiences together. One
night, in 'lei on parle Francois,' 1
had to kick him, and instead of do
ing in pretense with the flat of my
foot I forgot and gave him ft rous
ing kick with my toe. lie went
writhing up the stage, and I hurried
after him, fearing I had hurt him
frightfully. But the audience was
screaming with laughter, so all
Toole said was, 'John, they like it if
1 don't, so do it again.' Every
night afterward Toole insisted that
I should get as near to reality again
as could ho without killing him.
That was the hordest part I have
ever played."—London News.
New York's Hotels.
There are now about Fixty first
class hotels in New York, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. The addition
of the fifteen-new ones will increase
the number to seventy-five. If these
seventy-five hotels were piled on top
of one another they would make a
structure 730 stories high—toller
than the tower of Babel; or, to look
at it in another way, if they could
he conglomerated into one lingo
composite hotel it would bo twenty
seven stories high and occupy a
ground space of seventeen acres,
more than four city blocks, includ
tag the intersecting streets. This
great building would cost $75,000,-
000, have 22,500 bedrooms and ac
commodate 50,000 guests daily.
Luck In Politic?.
The late Cljief Justice MeCollum
of Pennsylvania owed his election
to a singular accident, lie was
nominated for the vacant judgeship
by the Democratic state convention
of 18S8 in opposition to James T.
Mitchell, the Ik-publican candidate.
There was then no chance of his
election, but the death of one of the
justices made another vacancy 011
the bench, and both Mitchell ond
MeCollum were chosen. Lots were
then cast for seniority of rank, as
their commissions were to expire at
the same time, January, 1910, and
MeCollum had the further luck of
drawing the prize and so succeeded
to the chief justiceship.
