The gen eral regretted his failure to secure the office for which he asked, but he was game to the core. General Robert' speech made a profound Impression on the convention yesterday and his patriotic utterance in which he bowtd to the wtll of the majority was en thusiastically applauded. The eral's military career in the Army of Northern Virginia was a torilliant one. 'At the age of 13. wlthojit any pre vious military experience, he was made a brigadier general by Robert E. Lee, because he was ."the best col onel of a cavalry corps in the Army of Northern Virginia and never was stampeded on the Held of batte. I ALEXANDER IN TOW.

The summer school is proving a fine success once more. As the school is dependent primarily and chiefly upon kWklon burg for patronage, the numbers will necessarily be smaller than In previ ous years, ul tne worx is tor mi reason the more thorough and more satisfactory. The faculty I largely what it was several years ago, but there are several new names in the list of Instructors, among them Miss Fans. Dr. J. M. McConnell and Mr. Karl Jansen,- Swedish lecturer and entertainer. He Is giving a course In physical cultur and besides this gives private lessons. Including prac tice in fencing. He will also appear on one or two occasions on the lecture platform at Bight, For these Utter performance a special charge will he made.

Philosophers Discuss Probable Effect - if Post-Nomination Speeches tXHiia Precede Jh Votes. . "If he had mad,- that speech be fore the vote was taken instead of afterwards, believe everybody would have voted for him," said a citizen having in mind a pathetic Incident of yesterday's convention . proceedings. precipitated by the speech of a de feated candidate. y- . ' ' ' "That affords Interesting ground for . speculation," added a . 1 friend. "Frequently one gets sidelights on the characters of the candidates after the nominations, which might have changed results, could they have ecen furnished before. Who, for instance, was there in the hall not intimately acquainted with Mr. Ashley Home, who was not most agreeably surprised at the ease, grace ,and forcefulness with which he acquitted himself as a public speaker even under such try ing circumstances? "And even that other speech, which won the admira tion of most Intelligent, persons pres ent as being, in nobility of thought, grace and vigor of expression, and in the Inherent, - broad-minded and courageous manhood which backed every word, a hundred miles ahead of anything else the convention heard even that might have made some dif ference. It takes, often takes, the supreme thing, either 'victory or de feat, to bring out the underlying prin ciples and dominant traits In a man's make-up." , CILRLOTTE TO THE FRONT.

At Latt Park. "The Mountaineer" held the hoards at Latta Park last night. The play was fine and the acting excellent. Beyond a doubt Colonel ePtera has the best company of the kpd that has ever been brought to Charlotte. No matter what the play I, one can de pend on It being well presented.
