Roosevelt should not be nominated and if nominated could he could not be elected. While all those who spoke in re gard to the resolution admitted the statements in the resolution as being facts they refused to adopt it, al though they did adopt two o ther res olutions ottered by Mr. Pearson. The meeting was held in the Supe rior court room for the purpose of electing a chairman to succeed T. C. McCoy, who recently resigned and Dan Hill was unanimously elected for that position. E. C.

Roosevelt's pronounced pro-ally sen timents the million and more German American citizens in this country were more violently opposed to him than they were .even to President Wilson; that owing to the hard fight mada four years ago between the republi cans and progressives that a great many strong Taft men would not sup port Roosevelt; further that If he is elected he might Involve us in the European war and that if he la nom inated he' cannot be elected. Mr. Pearson, in submitting the res olution explained that he did so as a strong Roosevelt man and a friend of the colonel, but that he did not believe Roosevelt was tne man lor the nomination at this time. Those Accepted. The resolutions which were adopt ed are as follows: "We believe that the strongest candidate in the state and In the nation Is the man who can come near est to polling the full strength of the factions which unhappily divided the oartv In 1912 "The combined vote of Roosevelt and Taft shows a majority of 1,400,- 000 over Wilson "Of the 4,100,000 voter who oast their ballots for Roosevelt It la safe to say thnt 3,600,000 believe In the basle principles of tho republican party and will support and elect any one of a hundred republicans who would heal rather than excite for mer antagonisms. "With a view to united and har monious action In the coming cam algn. It Is the sense of this meeting of the republicans of Buncombe county that the baela of representation In the approaching conventions should be the vote cast for the republican candidate for governor at the elec tion of 190S, and that all who believe In and support the fundamental pnn clple of the national republican par- ty should receive equal treatment In, i nu.ii- ....... llev In th fundamental principle of th party.

Craig Comes to AsheviUe- Today to Go Over the Roads Being Built by State Prisoners. (V. T. Boat). Raleigh, Jan. 10. The "signing of J. Dave Norwood of Salisbury, as the campalgn manager of James A, Hartness, candidate for secretary of state to succeed J. Bryan Grimes, kills the "dope" on the organization fight against Incumbents and in favor of the rotationists. Mr. Norwood was a Kltchin man In the 1912 campaign. Will Kitchin, Claude Kitchin, Paul Kltchin and all the Kitchins, as the Simmons men called them In 1908 at Charlotte, had records fos Kitchin enthusiasm in the Senatorial campaign, but none did more than Dave Norwood. Jim Hartness believes Mr. Norwood was the most effective Kitchin supporter in North Carolina, though Hartness isn't given to radical utterances dur ing the early months of the secretary ship fight. To begin with Norwood Is about the smartest fellow in the United States, barring two or three, of course. He Is a banker who reminds one of the little South Carolinian W. B. Drake, in achieveemnt; but Nor wood knows as much about politick ing as he does banking, which Is to say nearly all of It and them. ' -Then he has a .world full of kinspeople and allies who will take hiB judgment po litical and financial every pop and blame it on destiny If the Judgment fails. Norwood' Is the son-in-law of Napoleon Bonaparto McCanless, call ed "Polie" for pure cussedncss, and both can be counted on the Same side almost any day. . Mr. Mcf'anless, who began the life that resulted in such a remarkable career by planting a small crop and arguing points of ethics with an in different mule, has in Iredell a farm of slightly less than a million acres. That's the one mortification. For geo graphical reasons It Is stocked with Hartness men and it cannot be trans planted to Rowan, the native homo of "Polie." But the Salisburian owns half a city In Rowan and what the Norwood-MoC.mlcss famlly can ' do for Hartness will be a great deal. Every day or two Simmons men who ought to know what they are talking about give much color to Parker Anderson's recent story that the organization will Boon show its hand in the big fight and that In cumbents and aspirants who went back upon the senator In 1912 must do penance for a time. But here comes Norwood for Hartness, Henry Gilliam for Daughtrldge, Collie for Blckett, besides all at Odds In the 1912 campaign. Geographical con siderations play tbetr part In these managements and alliances, but Simmons men would not be expected to lead fights for Kitchin candidates If the organization hud planned a raid upon all hold-over, and candidate. not to the Simmons liking. Judge Carter, a Kltchliilte, takes a strong Simmons man. Blckett has not an nounced his manager but Collie Is his great friend and felloW townsman to whom much is due. Collie was ever lastingly a Simmon man. Orime and Lacy have not chosen their manager nor has Jule Mann, but enough has been seen to make an organization fight remotely probable. llob Kmull to Kuiope.

Three Men Killed and Soore Burned by Combustion of Two Tons of Smokeless Powder i at Carney's Point. WILD RUMORS SPREAD CONCERNING DISASTER Company Had Recently Great ly Increased Force 'of Secret Service Men Around the Plant. Philadelphia, Jan. 10. Three workmen were killed and a score were burned early today in the explosion of two tons of smokeless powder at the Carney's Point plant of the Du Pont Powder company. The force of the explosion was so great that it lifted a ferryboat which was Just leaving the dock at Carney's Point partly out of the water, breaking all the windows and smashing part of the cabin. None of the passengers, most of whom were employes of the Du Pont company returning to ' their homes across the river in Wilmington, were Injured. The report of the explosion was heard In this city 25 miles away. Employes who witnessed the acci dent said that the explosion was caused by outside influences and H was reported that two men carrying nltro glycerine and dynamite had been arrested, but the report was not con firmed. ' Wire communication with Carney's Point was severed and officials of the Du Pont company at Wilmington said they were absolutely without advices except for the fact that there had been an explosion.- It is known, how ever, that , recently forces of secret service men about the plant had been largely Increased. There have., been several fires at Carney's Point but this is the first explosion at that plant. Thirty people lost their lives in an explosion at the' Hagley's yards of the company at Wilmington, November 30. Although the company has since conducted a searching investigation Into the cause of the explosion, so far as is known it has never been deter mined. Wire communication with Carney's Point was cut off and the wildest ru mor prevailed until the coming of daylight cleared them up. The prop erty loss waa small. Repivrontjfives of the company branded as false the report that two men had been arrest ed with dynamite and fuses. iCE U.S. BUSINESS IN Believed to Be Conveyed in At torney General's Reply to Chamber of Commerce.

INMATES THEMSELVES ARE BADLY DIVIDED Report Is Said to Speak of Un sanitary Conditions in Con nection With Table and Beds of Hospital. (By W. T. Bost). Raleigh, Jan. 10. Inmates of the Soldiers' home and residents of the slty who know of the row everlasting that seems to go on out there, ere now speculating upon the change of policy tnat Inevitably must be made. Col. A. H. Boyden of Salisbury, who succeeded Col. A. B. Andrews as chair man of the board of directors of the institution, is expected In Raleigh aa soon as he can get hero. At that time the findings of an Investigating com mittee and the report of a domestic science expert will bo the subject of the deliberations. Th homo has been stormy If tho In mates have talked around tho prem ises as they have expressed thorn selves for publication. The lnmaes themselves are badly divided. - Per haps the largest number support the superintendent. But the vehemence of the opposition will threaten the equili brium of tho loyal. The home has been severnl times investigated. Before the legislature of 1915 an Inspection by a sanitarium of the highest character and Intelli gence gave It the hardest name of all the state institutions, but the report never reached the papers and some changes in policy must have wrought great good. Then some of tho In mates grew weary, and they brought ugly stories to the newspapers. Some of the papers printed them, wmfl did not take the risk. Things went better for a -while, but It Is reliably ru.norel thnt the last inspection will show con ditions hardly equaled In tho simple narration of its author by the descrip tion of C. W. Small, Jr., who can cuss more picturesquely than old Jcb Stu art ever did. The report of the domestic, science authority will not this time be loft to stand up agulnst the host who may nit agree with her findings. Before it came to that another committee inves tigated and it Is understood by the In mates and others who know the trou bles that both agree as to tho need of Immediately remedial measures. In this Instance the chief trouble Is not with the complaint of the Inmates but with the actual conditions said to have been found. It wouldn't be good for anybody's appetite to rend what has been written. It Is clarifying to observe that the words, "dirty, "filthy" and "vermin" are on Intimate relations with the table, the beds and tho. hospital. The old man Small Is rnmpnnt. The fnct that he has been threatened with Investigation doen t Beem to worry him a partlclo. He laugh, heartily at it and Invito It because ho says that he and Captain Llneberry, the super intendent, do not speak. Talking to your correspondent about the dinner that Manly' Battery, a patriotic or ganization here served the soldiers Christmas. Captain Small said: The old men were given something palatable and good. They were not accustomed to that. The ladle gave It to them. It was en oyster supper as you know. The next day the uper- Intendent came In and said 'I have been hearing a good many complaints about that supper last night. I want to ray that my wife and I had nothing to do with It and' are not responsible for It.1 If I had been on speaking term with him I would havo told him that of course he didn't have anything to do with it because It was all right. Now what In the h do you think of that " TUt one-armed Captain Small In vite, ihe printing of all that h thinks and any, lie ha long been sor on thing at the home and ha once be fore brought the conduct of the home befor the public. Then he caught It from all sides. It was the desire of everybody thnt the row be kept from the paper. It I evident now that nothing short of publicity will satisfy those who are responsible for the pol icy of the Institution. The meeting will be held sometime soon hut the date rests with Chalrmun Boyden who ho not found It posslblo to aoni since th opening of th year.

SENATOR DAVIS SEEMS TO HAVE BEST CHANCE "Anti-Militarism" Committee With Headquarters in Wash ington Changes Name to "Anti-Preparedness." Gazette-News Bureau, Riggs Building, Washington, D. C. Washington, Jan. 10 Fifty or more letters and telegrams have been receiv ed lately by Senators Simmons , and Overman from as many counties in the state, , recommending Judge William R. Allen, of Goldsboro, for appoint ment to the Supreme court of the United States to succeed the late Jus tice Lamar. There is little doubt that should a North Carolinian be selected, President Wilson would give the ap pointment to the North Carolina Jur ist. But there seems little chance that the place will go to the Tar Heel state. According to Information, which is usually very reliable, the President has about made up his mind to name John W. Davis, of West Virginia, or former President William Howard Taft. The former seems to have the best chance of being named. But for the fact that the Supreme court is now overwhelmingly republi can, it is probable that Mr. Taft would be named. All things being equal, however, It looks like Mr. Davis has the Inside rail. i Former Governor Robert Ti. Glenn said recently that he most heartily Indorsed Judge Allen for the place. He said that no man of his acquaint ance was better fitted for the high honor than the Goldsboro lawyer. Governor Glenn said that he had traveled very extensively during the past few months and that he found the sentiment for and against, national defense about equally divided. He said however, that the people are very much opposed to being taxed to raise the money for this preparedness pro gram. The following nominations for ap polntmcnt as postmasters have been sept to the senate. L. Estelle Jones, Bethel; W. C. Gillespie, liurnsville; John W. Me Cain, Waxhaw, and A. S. Ruggles, Southern Pines. G. D. Ellsworth, of tho postoffice department, will go to Salem within a few days to investigate the question of abolishing the postoffice nt that place. Mr. Ellsworth is a North Carolinian, and the people of Salem will be a- sured of a square deal at his hands, It was definitely announced yester day that hearing before the Tabor committee on the Keating child labor bill, will begin Monday morning. For- I mer Governor W. , W. Kltchin, of North Carolina, will be the first to be heard. Several cotton mill men. It Is understood, will also appear before the committee.

Batts, of counsel for the gov-, ernment, said that the step would be taken in due time. Those acquitted were D. Newton Barney, Farmington, Conn.;. Robert W. Taft, Providece, R. I.: James S. Hemingway, A. Heaton Robertson anil Frederick F. Brewster, New Haven: and Henry K. . McHarg, Stamford, Conn. Those on whom the Jury disagreed were William Rockefeller, New York: Charles F. Brooker, Ansonia, Conn.: Charles M. Pratt, Brooklyn; Lewis Cass Ledyard, New York, find, .Ed ward . D. Robbins, New Haven. The verdict was returned after 11 hours of deliberation, and the Jurv was discharged. The final vote on Iho five defendants upon whom the Jurors could not agree stood eight to rour for acquittal. The Jurors did not reach their ver dict until after they had reported t'j Judge Hunt earlier in the day that they could not agree. L'p to that lima noon they had been deliberating with a view to bringing in a verdict on the guilt or innocenco of the 'le fendants collectively. The court then Instructed them to make further il- forls to concur, and that if they could not agree upon all, to try and reach a decision oii some. The vote of the question of all at that time also stood for eight to tour for acquittal, It waa learned. On returning to the Jury room, the Jurors renewed, their discussion with the court's instructions In mind, and unanimously eliminated the six de fendants that were acquitted. Two of the four Jurors, who had voted against the defendants originally stood firm, however, against Messrs. Rockefeller, Ledyard, Brooker, Pratt and Robbins. Then the other two switched to their original position, leaving eight to four as the final verdict. From the time the case was sub mitted to them at 1:30 o'clock Friday afternoon, the Juror took In oil eighteen ballots. The first stood six for ttosulttal, four for conviction and two blanks. H was not until Saturday that they reached the eKht to four alignment. William Rockefeller, who is 111, and Henry K. McHarg, were not present when the jurors, haggard and untidy, filed In tho court room to announce their verdict. The nine other defen dants were in their usual seat. Some of them, during the long hour of waiting, had laughed and joked with counsel and newspaper men. Otheri had evinced much nervousness, par ticularly after Judge Hunt's Instruc tions today urging the jury to bring In a verdict as to some Individually, With the entrance of the Jurymen, with their hnts and coat In hand, presaging a verdict, the mental state of the defendant was obviously .n of tense strain.
