Several eastern counties that gave
Gardner a nice plurality in the first
primary went over to the Morrison '
column in the Saturday primary. In
cluded in these were Bertie and Nor

decreasing Gardner's vote in the first
primary, when three candidates were '
in the field.
Gardner gained strength in, many

GOVERNOR COX OF OHIO
NOMINATED FOR THE "
PRESI.DENCY
San FrmncUco, July 6?Attorney
General Palmer, at 0:46 o'clock, at
the ctoee of the thirty-eigth ballot,
released his delegate!, and left the
Democratic National Convention free
to move oat of He deadlock and nom
inate a presidential candidate.
At the end of the eecond ballot af
ter the receee, when the Palmer vote
had touched 211, and it was apparent
it could be driven ao higher, former
Representative C. C. Carlin, of Vir
ginia, Mr. Palmer's manager, took the
platform and announced the with
drawal of the attorney-general from
the race. Chairman Robinson, in pre
senting him, told the Convention sig
nificantly he waa presenting a man
who had a statement to make which
he waa conftident the convention
would want to hear.
Expectation was in the air and the
convention, which only a moment be
fore had been in the height of diaor
der in a rackety demonstration quiet
ed down like magic until a pin might
almost have bean heard to drop in the
great auditorium as Carlin took the ^
speaker's place and said in subetanse:
"I am about to make an announce- j
ment of greatest importance to this
convention, at the conclusion of which
1 mall mova a receu tor zu winuau
to give the convention opportunity to
decide what course it shall take. A
Mitchell Palmer ssks me to express
his sincere thanks and appreciation
to every delegate who had voted (or
his. nomination, but he is unwilling to
delay the proceedings further and au
thorised me to finally, positively and
absolutely release every delegste
pledged to him that the convention
may proceed to nominate the ''next
President of the United States."
There was a roar of "Hurrah for
Palmer," as the Hnes broke and the
convention went into a recess.
The entire Palmer vote added to'
McAdoo's total on the 88th ballot
would give him (16 1-2.
The Palmer vote added to the Cox
total on the same ballot would give
the Ohio governor 594 1-2. Both lead
ing candidates would fall short of the
two-thirds which is seven hundred
and twenty-nine.

GOOD FRUIT CROP IN
NORTH CAROLINA FOR
CURRENT SEASON
North Carolina promises its but
fruit crop in years, based on condi
tion* of June 16th. Conditions in
dicated fifty per cent of a full crop
of apple* and 66 per cent for peacV
es. Practically all fruit throughout
the State made a satisfactory growth
of wood and a splendid set of fruit
beds for this year's crop. Favorable
weather prevailed during the winter
ard with the exception of weakened
peach trees very little winter injury
occurred.
The spring wss late and the early
part was favorable, but frost, frees
ing weather, cold winds, and cold
rainy weather during April and May
were responcible for the reduction
ii the crop in Piedmont and Moun
tain sections.
The apple crop in these section*
was injured by the frosts and cold
that occurred in April around the
6th'and 14th and during 16th and
16th of May but the most general in
jury was caused by unfavorable wea
ther at blooming time. The rainy
weather and cold winds that prevailed
ir many sections during blooming
time caused poor pollination by pre
venting the unrestricted work of in
sects. There was a heavy bloom in
most sections but as a result of poor
pollination a large amount of fruit
dropped off.
Peaches in the mountains and Pied
mont sections were injured by frost
and cold during April and in certain
sections the frost and cold period in
May reduced the crop. Practically
a full crop of peaches is indicated
throughout the Coastal Plain and the
Sand Hills. However, in these sec
tions, there has been a considerable
winter injury to the trees.
| In the Sand Hill section, which is
the largest commercial peach district
in the State, a splendid crop ef peach
es will be harvested. The number of
bearing trees is increasing every year
and the prduction this year will be in
the neighborhood of 260 cars. Good
prices are being quoted for peaches
at this date on the different markets,
and returns should prove satisfactory.
The drop was heavy throughout the 1
State this year, especially go with
apples throughout the moon tains be
cause of poor pollination and frosty
weather. While blight has been in
dicated as being severe in some sec
tions, the state as a whole reports
very little blight this year.
Grapes and small fruit* indicate a
very good crop year.
Pecans in Eastern North Carolina
promise to be below normal because
of the very heavy production ef last
year and the unfavorable weather in
certain sections at blooming'time.
A good If crop it indicated through
out the eastern part of the state.

GARDNER, DURHAM AND
STACEY LEAD IN HERT
FORD COUNTY PRIMARY
Vinson and HU1 Receive Close
Majorities for Township
Tax Collectors
Hartford County polled 998 Totes
in tha second primary which was held
last Saturday. Out of that number,
0. Max Gardner received 592 votes
for Governor, against Morrison's 404,
Gardner's majority being 186, a gain
of 73 votes in the entire county. Coek
for Auditor received 181 against Dnr
ham's 671. Stacey received 424 vo
tes and Long 362, in the contest for
Supreme Court Justice. In St. Johns
Township W. H. Vinson received a
majority of four votes over his op
ponent, Carl K. Vaughan, the count
b?ing 146 to 142. Over In Maneys
Neck the race was even cloasr, the
count being 66 for Hill and 63 for
Railey.
A study of the vote cut in Hert
ford County shows tha tthe large
majority of the former Page vote in
the county went to Morrison in the
second primary, although Gardner re
ceived a srpinkling of these votes.
Morrison, no doubt, received the foil
Page vote in Harrellsville Township,
his total there bein 32. In the first
primary he received SI votes an<t Mr.
Page got one. The "one" went for
Morrison.
Another notable fact was the large
farmer vote cast for Gardner. At
Ahoskie less than a dozen farmers
cast their ballots for Mr. Morrison.
In St. Johns Township, the largest
fanning district in the county Gard
ner received his heaviest vote.
The vote this time was lighter than
at the former primary, although, on
account of local contests, both Maa
eys Neck and St. Johns townships
polled an uusually heavy vote.
The official vote as cast in Hert
ford County, by townships, was as fol
lows:
