B. islierrlll, of Concord. sec retary cf the North Carolina Press Annotation. has forwarded to . all mmWri the following circular letter regarding the North Caroling Press convention which Is to be' held In fcenteneed to Three Yearn Uyers lase. Which Was Klinllar, Dlnil. , - ed, th Prosecuting Witness Fail- tng to. Identify llmi positively. The feature of the criminal court yesterday was the trial ot the olfrae- tery. nerves of the spectators and necessary' attendants 'who found ' themselves rn the' vortex of the1 wild est fumes that have swept through the court building thin winter. The '. i Tnflltlffn I' assignable to the fact ) It the room was packed to Ha 11m- 'it and that the weather throughout the' week 'was such as to make it absolutely Impossible to employ such sanitary precautions as would natur ally expected. Specifically and literally, however, tne trials .or two alleged purse- snatchers, will Hoagland and Cart Byers, both colored, were the out standing events of the day. The first named was charged vlth snatching a purse from Mrs. K. C. Jones on the streets several weeks ago and the ' case against him was soon ended, the ; Jury4 returning a verdict of guilty after being- out only a short while. Judge Webb sentenced Headland to three years on the county roads. TUB CASE OP BITERS. . ' - The case of Carl Byors, charged with attempting tot rob Miss Jose- phln Worrell on Fourth street soma night ago, ended differently. "This trial held far more sensatlonaUfea turea than that of Hoagland, be cause of the brutality pf his attack, The evidence submitted by Atlas Wor rell was to the effect that she had been assailed, on the night of Febru ary Ith as 'she was going to her home after dark on Fourth street. her throat was clutched in the hands of a negro and she was nearly thrown to the ground In the struggle which ensued- During the testimony of Miss Worrell, who answered the question propounded her by Mr. John A. MeRae, assisting in the prosecution, CoL ' T. D. Klrkpatrlck, leading counsel for the defendant, persisted in objecting to the forms of Questions asked and for a time there waa an interesting bout be tween these two - attorneys. y After numerous attempts on the part of To the Members of the North Caro lina Press Association At a recent meeting of the execu tive committee of our association, it was decided to hold the moetlng for 1101 in the City of Charlotte on Wed nesday and Thursday April 22d and 2Sd., April was thought to be the best month for' the meeting, as the school commencements come in May and the political conventions, etc, In June. it was unanimously agreed that in July it would be too hot to meet anywhere except in the moun tains or on the eashore. The time selected was preferred by the people of Charlotte. President Johnson is now at work on the programme, which he -will soon be able to announce In full. -The following are a few of the selections made,, and others will be announced later: "The Failure and the Opportunity of the North Oarolina Editor"-Mr. C. H- Poe, of The Progressive Farm- ' "How to Prevent Freight Discrim ination Against North Carolina"- waj. E. J. Hale, of The Fayette vllle Observer. Independent Editorials in Country Weeklies" Mr. J.

HUHard and others. The Indications are that the meet ing wlU be the largest and most Im portant the association has ever held. The people . and the press of Chart lotte are taking much interest In th meeting, and it la safe to aiy that the newspaper folks wlU have "the time of their lives. THE PASTY'S OPrUlRTUMTY A PLEA FOIl A VXITFD FKtrXT. The Republican Party Is JTopeletudy Divided and by Coming ToRtfO'er on a Strong Man ttic Democrats Have a Pint? Mtowln? of Winning Bryan Not the Man For the Xoml nntiun, Ills Polk-ies Not Being Ac cepted by tlu Country, -and tie . People Are Tired of Mm Gov ernor Johnson Alone Can Bead ths larty Out of tlxi WUdernewt te the Ilei&ht of Victory. To the Editor of The Observer; The result of the Republican pri maries in Ohio indicates the strength of the President and' -his candidate for the presidency with the Repub lican party In that State, and the log ical result of the defeat of the For-aker-Dick forces In the Buckeye State will be to discourage oppoal- tion to Taft in other sections of tae country, and the added inflation of the Taft boom will be noticeable throughout the country, and espe. dally' lo the Southern Ktates. where the Republicans, in addition to Ing alert to the favorable winas in Dresldentlal years' usually have the discriminating Judgment to land on ths winning side for with tnem to lose their man means to lose all tne offices! . It Is fair to assume In view of th present state of affairs that Mr. Roosevelt will Win out at Chi cago, and that MY Taft will be the Republican nominee. I This view Is Interesting to Demo crats chiefly because It furnishes ths only opportunity the party has bad in recent years to gain the ascen dency in national affairs. Heretofore the. Republican party has. been unit ed, aggressive and strong. It has had the advantage of prosperous times the unification sentiment ol tainlnj when the country Is engaged In war with a foreign foe, and. ths popularty of a supposed war hero, Bryan, but undeT present conditions j his nomination would be a fatal mis- ! take. That Bryan is great as a man, as a xjemocrat, as an orator and statesman, is freely admitted, but the fact remains that he cannot un ify the Democratic party, not to say anything of winning votes from the othor sida. both of which resulti must be obtained in order to. win. confess to a warm admiration for the great Nebraskan. and if he is nomi nated I shall loyally support, him, but in common with eight out of every ten Democrats In Cleveland county and throughout this section. I feel that his nomination. practieslly seals the fate of tne party in this election. North Carolina, in the event of his nomination will vote for Bry an, but It Will not b the vote of enthusiastic approval rd hopeful expectancy. i.i With Governor Johnson, of Minns sota, as tho Democratic standard bearer, the heart of the party would beat high with hope. It' la v party of strength and virility. GUe us Johnson, a Jhorough-gotng Democrat always regular and always Demo cratic, a man who has never knovn defeat, and then summon the un conquered cohorts of Democracy to battle, and thn nation will witness such a magnificent cnarge as enau shake with the fury of 4ts force ana th ritrhti.oiianss of Its cause, the tntr. ni Ii.mI nnwers behind the bat ti.manii nf Rf.iuibllcanim. and It I not beyond the realm of probability to believe that the yeur t09 would mark the banning of another Dem ocratic administration, with a Dem ocratic House of Representatives. - CLYDE It.

If I had choice between contesting there and In perdition, I'd prefer the latter place. My reuson assigned was that In the subterranean regions I'd be' with better fiddlers and a more reflnpd audience. The popular opin ion bears me out, for preachers say that all fiddlers go there; and, of course, accepting tho orthodox ele ment. It Is the future homo of all actors, journalists, Congressmen, clr-cus-golng people, heterodox minis ters, scientists, etc.; and there are the most Intelligent people we have. Taking the view of7the straight laced, about tho only people who reach the gold-paved city, will be a few dyspeptic preachers, old women whose charms have passed with their youth and a few Ignorant roos ters who are densely Ignorant and have had a "calL" fitlll, some who scorn the ground hog, the moon and all signs and amens, persist In say ing that a fellow may get to heaven, even if he goes to shows, theatres, studies music and is skilled In its exevutionv If he has Christian char ity.

The rebellious heretic further said that If he reached the rest prepared In the heavenly man sions he expected to see fiddlers, light-rope walkers, cowboys, brave railroad engineers who died for oth ers, as well as men of life-saving service who died for shipwrecked ma riners; while men of a "holier-than-thou" cast of countenance would be turned away from the beautiful gate, geveral of us heard his ribald har angue and told Mm a man must be born again, for all the preachers say so. He said being born again meant loving all the children of men, bear ing a brother's Infirmities and hav ing liberal opinions. He even quot ed tho thirteenth chapter of First Corinthians, and the parable of the Oood gamarltan. He scored the priest, and Invito, and said both these men were versed In - forms of religious ob-orvanee. but neglected the weightier mutters of true Chris tianity. Then we settled him In hort order.

We have It on good authority that he save there la no fire In hell and no personal devil. A religion that don't have a good, ld-fashtnned -d. less hU in U and a devil forty feet high and hornt doesn't, suit me and my crowd. theology naturally leads up to th dog subject. The C'lffslde corpora tion has Issued a manifesto mat wou'd cause a yeoman of Polkvllle, New Hause or Battimore to feel that the bulwarks of personal liberty had been demolished. The ordinance provides that no indweller or ClifTiJe sh.tll keep a dog after March 1st, 190s. Next the country will :o fail of i-littp, school taxes will be voted, roads built and -maintained by convict labor and taxation. One by one our liberties are assailed. When boys are taught to tiuit shooting ilnghir ano nieuet eatlng bird and to read good book instead of loafing, hunting and lying around livery stables, country stores and barber shops, why, we people who believe In the ground hog and moon signs will make our last stand. A man from (New Hause, who is "agin" schools, good roads and sheep but gave 160 for two hounds when he had no books but a medical al manac and 1 0-vent volume on, "How to Be a Hypnotist," says he Is dis couraged about his boy. He has tried to teach him to hunt and to fish, but the boy prefers going to school. He fears his boy wHl wind up in the asylum or th legislature. If- he favors education and does not adore dogs, he'll never be a member from ' Cleveland county. If a man was ever under suspicion of being for, deoent roads from Shel by to any point of the compass he Is careful to hedge s soon as he feels a Jolt of political lightning. Also, he must cherish the same veneration for j a worth ess dog tnat a devotee or Burnish feels for the sacred white elephant. All he needs to know Is that people of Cleveland are braver, wiser, richer and more Indubious and certainly more religious " than anvbodv else. Ot course Rutherford. Oaston and Lincoln feel the same way, but they don't ret a vote. CORN CRACKER Cllftslde, Feb. 10th, 10.
