Fouler Seriously In J ii red In a Runaway The State Veteran Reunion. The legislature will be called up on at its next session to amend the present Watts law governing the sale and manufacture of intoxicat ing liquor in this State, if the pres ent purpose of some prohibition leaders is carried out, as a result of the refusal of the Raleigh board of alderman to order nu election to determine whether absolute prohibi tion shall be adopted in this citv instead of the dispensary method of selling liquor which now obtains here. The board refused to order the election on a mere technicality in t he law, according to an opinion rendered by the city attorney. The decision of the Raleigh alderman is based on section seven f the Watts law, which provides that elections may be held to de termine any one or two or all of the following questions: (1) Whether intoxicating liquois shall be nianu factuieil; whether bar-rooms 01 saloons shall be established; (3i whether dispensaries shall be es tablished. t The State Fair .Vaoaijeineiit np pears to be continent of .-evini'ig tin attendance of Mr. iiiyan ar tile next fair which will he held as usual ' during the third week in October.

TAFT AT GREENSBORO, 'i Condcmui Worth Carolina Repnblleani But Advocate Their Election. A large crowd met Secretary of War Taft at the station at Greens boro Monday and heard him speak at the opera house at night. The distinguished visitor was introduced by Judge Adams. ' Mr. Taft address was little more than expected. Of course he laud ed the Republican party in the South but iu almost the same breath admitted that it whs not the party into whose hands to entrust the government of our south land. He admits that, his "fellow workers" the Republican party i.f the South, are only office seekers. To use his oivn words. "As long, however, as the Republi can party in the Southern States shall represent little save a factional i.-nase for Federal oitices in which business men and mea of snbstauce iu the comni'.urty have no desire to enter and in the result of whiph they have no interest, we may ex pect tne present political conditions of the South to continue." In short Mr. Taft declares there is no hope for Southern Republicans until the party is sterelized. On top of this he urges North Carolina votj io put a-i.!e factional differen ces mid cast Li.ei: vote for nominees who use tiie duties of their ofllce to proniut.' self-interests.

Meeting Held at Greenaboro Adamn In Chairman tienaatlonal Incidents Marked The State Republican Conven tion met at Greensboro Tuesday. Buttler, Adams, Skinner were there engineering the machine operation against Blackburn aud the "Anti Boss" faction, and contested hard for the chairmanship which resulted in a victory for Adams-Butler on the first ballot. The convention was marked b frequent and obstreperous incidents of a sensational character. An ef fort to preserve law and order was only semi-effective when the city police officers were called to the aid of the chairman. One of the Randolph delegates who returned yesterday morning re marked that it was a "warm conven tion in every sense, but we had a love feast at night, but there is a lot of dissatisfaction over the state." Kepiililiciiil Con vent Ion. The Randolph Republican con vention met at Asheboro last Sal- j urdav and elected delegates to the j several conventions. They also i passed resolutions which though! aimed at Randolph and Xoithj Carolina Democracy, missed the! mark, entering their own ranks.
