Republican have never prospered well here. But next week the town will teem with Republican -mawbacka from Mitch ell.

Charlotte will play host to the follower- or lan ana Sherman. Always hospitable the peo ple Wtll.be so next wek. i ; W are looking for a good tlmft bare," said a woll-known Republi can leader to an Observer man yes terday. "The boys wer reluctant to come here but when the good citi zens of your city sent that delega tion to Oreensboro and Invited us as rou did. we jielilpfl and will ho here in full force. We know full well "What you can and will do. There drill be several thousand men and wo men here. Lots of the delegates will bring their Wives." : The Republicans expert Charlotte to do her utmost as she did for lho Democrats. Those In charge of the preliminary arranRemnts think that all things will be readv by the time the delegates arrive. The hotels are (jetting ready to room and feed as tnany as possible and private homes will be thrown open as they were In Jane. The Auditorium will wear It.t best dress. I)R. HALL. IS AT WORK. Ir. Warren Vines Hall, that calcu lating wonder, with energy like a ferret, and the eye of an artist, Is at work on the Auditorium. He Is co in to see that his brethren, the Re publicans from f'hrokee to Curri tuck Manteo to Turtletuwn have an attractive hall to meet In. Flags, buntings, Teddy bears, -portraits and other legitimate means of ornament are being used to make fhe Inside f the Auditorium attractive. Early yesterday morning, ns an Ob server reporter stood at the square, rubbering, he saw a small, stout man. With roey cheeks and round face, wearing glasses, go out North Tryon street, toward the elty hall, with his arms full of wee Teddy bears, white Teddies, some forty or fifty of them In all. "Has the man that many chll Bren?" asked a striinser "?"ope, that's Dr. Hall, the bach elor." said a native. "Going to treat an orphan school, I presume?" "Nope, decorate the hall for the Republican convention." said a mem ber of the O O. P. with a proud smfle all over his faee. "Oh. I see. in honor of Teddy Roosevelt." That was It. Dr Hall was on his sway to the Auditorium then to com plete his work. THE STAGE AS IT WILL APPKAR "What are you gouK to do to the stage?" asked a reporter as he at down by Mr. Hall. - "Leave it as we have It. What do you think of It? Look at th.it pasto ral scene In the buck ground! Isn't that fine and appropriate ?" Over the speaker's stand, at the centre of the rostrum, hang two large, colore! portraits of Hon. Wil liam H. Taft. candidate for President, and his running m:ite, James 8. Sherman. The one Is ilfrorat.rj with a mustache and the other with small Rurnsldes, or mutton chops Sur mounting these Is a are. eold bronse eagle, above .vhoc head floats three American flags on the stand WJI! be a number of green plants nd other decorations to the it color.

The constitutional right to refuse to swear was exercised in the recorder's court yesterday morning for the first time in many and many a day.

She was called as a witness In the raH" of Will Moore, colored, who was charted with entering the houso o.f Lucy Williams In the dead of nigit and frightening her and the neighbors Into conniption fits. "Hold up your right hand and go on oath, Sidla," quoth the recorder. The woman shook her head deter-1 minedly, superstitious tear In hor eyes, j "l'se a member uv de church. Ie Hlble nay let your conversation hei yay. yay and my, nay, and I ain't 1 gwlne to swear in dls cote tier no ud der." replied she. The recorder attempted to persuade her and wlfh soft words to reassure the one suspicious that a plot to ruin her character was at hand. But she refused to budge an Inch. There was nothing else for It, so the recorder bade her hold ' up her right hand and affirm that she was about to narrate the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Only when assured that the word affirm didn't mean swear did she consent, n4a to en her right-hand remain ed where the attraction of gravita tion put It.

Brumfleld bellewed In- ' the motto, "Every man Ws own talking machine," and conducted his case himself. The woman told of her grievance with much dramatic effect Thick and fast came the volley of In terrogations from the boy whom the proverb said had a fool for his client. He was fairly clever at dodging around, but he laid too much atress on technicalities and seemed to have no appreciation at all of the fact that the court would view the question more from the standpoint of equity than with regard to details. He ad mitted taking the money, but dis agreed with the .State's witness as to. what he was expected to do with It. In both cases he failed to return with the espected and promised "change." "Let th!s,gentleman go to the roads for eight months," said Judge Justice, who heard the case both as Jury and Judge. The prisoner never changed countenance nor looked the least de spondent. It was evidently little more than he expee'ed. This was the last esse of the day and the court adjourned Until 9 this morning. Complimentary Street Car Hide Post poned.
