Chairman Bell Exprwts a Majority of rYOm 4,500 to 5,000 Oat of the 1 - 4.&00 Persons Who Are Registered, . vThe efforts of the Democratic exe entlve committee, since the reg istration books cloe, ore aimed to epur those who have registered to .. vote next Tuesday. The 6,500 .per , cons whose names appear on the reg istration books of the city and coun ty are being constantly reminded of : the necessity of casting their ballots In the approaching election, primarily fer the effect of strengthening the county's representation In the State convention. If all wno have regis tered hold interest until November 3d and vote on that date, the county's ' Influence will be notably Increased. It Is ressonably sure In Democratic headquarter that of this number registered, the Democratic vote will not fall but little under 5.000. and this will entitle Mecklenburg to about . J4 votes In the party councils. This nigh level was reamed eight years . ago, when the county gave Governor Ay cock a vote of 5,098. dropping down our years later to 3.229 for Oovernor Glenn This small vote reduced Meck- lenburg's representation In the late State convention to 22 votes, which v brought a material weakening In the county's political .xtfer.gth. v- While the Republicans are active In Mecklenburg, It Is not conceded at . Democratic headquarters that any ' substantial sain in party strength win to made. The Democratic candidate re expected to receive a majority of About 4.600 or 5.000. Chairman Bell vpeaks encouragingly' or the county's prospects for holding its Democratic gtresltge in the coming election. ' Salvation Army Specials Coming. Capt. C.

Farmer " Crowd to Storing House Offered Them by Charlotte Van and : Others Have Most Been Second. The farmers have been storing their cotton -with. such a fury that the ware house offered them by Mr. Cv W. Johnston In North Charlotte until their own building was completed has been overrun and other owners . of similar structures bare offered ' them to the planters. The new warehouse will probably be completed by Decern-? ber 1st and It la expected to accom modate the demand for room -which the farmers are on a king-. The unexpected low price of cotton does not encourage selling on the lo cal market, and only those who are forced by debts to secure a little mon ey are bringing, their product to the market. It la generally figured that cotton cannot be raised at a profit while the orlce remains below Id cents and while many will hold for even higher figures, at the same time othera would be willing to dispose 01 their holdings at this price. The fine weather of the fall has made possible the early garnering of the staple without colling and the present offering froraithe neiaa is 01 superior grade. Cotton will largely oe out of the stalk by the middle of No vember If such weather as prevailed for so long during the autumn is again enjoyed. The present spell 1 about the most disagreeable and un favorable weather which has come upon the farmers since cotton began to open. EX-SENATOR BUTLER A VISITOR.

For a few hours yesterday morn ing ex-Senator Marion Butler was & visitor In the city,, stopping at the Selwyn. Ho Is yet In the midst of a strenuous season of campaigning which will not end until the election. He left at 10 o'clock for Lincolnton to speak yesterday. He was billed also for an address at Newton last night and then for one at Shelby. With reference to the calling off of his proposed speaking here Saturday night, the ex-8nator ald that he had never had any definite under standing that he was to come except on the condition that the local com mittee urged him strongly; and if he had come It would havn necessitated the cancelling of other Important dates and would have Interfered with his being at his home In Kampson county at the time of the election. Mr. Butler expressed himself as confident that Taft will carry the West, with the possible exception of Nebraska and that the disaffection prevalent among many Democrats will combine with the Increased ef forts of Republicans to reduce the Democratic majority some 15,000 votes in this State. Questioned as to the Adams suit, he had nothing to say other than that tho answer "of the defense had been filed and that ought to be sufficient fer the present. A TAFT LESION T Nearly Five Founder Exhibited at Ob server Office Which Owner Thinks Is Big Enough to bend Big Ohloan. Wouldn't it bo cruel to send Hon. William H. Taft. Republican candi date for the presidency of the United states, a lemon that weighs four pounds and nine ounces and measures 21 inches In girth! That is the ques tlon which Mr. J. W. Weddington, of this city, Is deliberating. The fruit of the tree he brought to The Obser ver office yesterday afternoon, as large as a football, but having other wise the shape and general appear ance oi tne oramary, every-uay mm on. It was grown on the farm of Mr C- S. Moore, at Indian River, Fla., and was sent to Mr. Weddington by his brother-in-law, Mr. C. C. Porter Believing that the lemon Is of pres idential size, as well as large enough to make a presentable showing even In the presence of Mr- Taft, who is not small, Mr. Weddington, if he can reconcile himself to the thought of parting with Vhe Juicy monster, will shin It to the Republican leader in the hope that the nation at large will go him one better.

As has been previously announced, Mr.'T. -W.,:Blckett,.andldate on 'the Democratic ticket for Attorney Gen eral of North Carolina, i will apeak, next Monday night at the court bouse at o'clock. It had been - arranged for Senator 1e 8. Overman to apeak on the - earns occasion., In deference to the ' request of State Chairman A. H. Eller Senator Overman baa been released from his engagement to speak here then. He will speak In stead Monday nlgbtTn Gaston county. This change J to be regretted here as the 'Senator would have been heard with Interest. The fact that Mr. Blckett will apeak, though. Is abund ant cause for the turning out of a large crowd. There are few more In teresting or attractive speakers on the State stump to-day. Hie speech at the Democratic convention here In placing In nomination Mr. Ashley Home won him a 8tats-wlde reputa tion at once. This will mark the close of the campaign and It will be four years before there Is another one. Hence ths significance of the occasion. WITH TH EPISCOPALIANS.
