CLOSING RECEPTION.
The annual reception Wednes
dav nleht in the Washington
Duke building closed the year
190S in brilliant style, nothing
short of it.
Quite the most gorgeously
dressed men and women to be
found In any Durham audience,
were those last night represent
ine every age of Durham society,
The girls wore their finest and
the men appeared in dress cos
tume. The various rooms were
well occupied and the affair last
ed until midnight.
tk niirh.im orchestra with
tbii aid of some imported music
lans, gave music throughout. The
reception had all of the feast to
it and the public's interest in it

engthy Judicial Convention finally
Nominate Durham's Choice and
Adjourns. Closing
Scenes.
To say that the delegates at-
endingthe Judicial convention
in Durham this week returned
home tired out will but feebly
express their condition. From
the beginning it was seen that
he only thing that would
cause the convention to adjourn
was the thought of reaching
Greensboro in time to partici
pate in the Congressional con
vention that was held in that
city Wednesday.
Tuesday afternoon and night
was spent in an occasional bal
lot with the announcement from
he chairman that there was no
change in the vote. The sleepy
and hoarse crowd of delegates
went about in the court house
rom place to place and when
the vote was called for you were
ust as likely to hear a man from
he place of Guilford delegation
call outthevoteof Granville coun-
y as from any other place, and
so the gathering continued un
til finally the deadlock was brok-
en by liuuiora dropping tneir
Iter 576 Ballots Durham Man Gets
Required Tote.
GUILFORD BRAKES THE DEADLOCK.
When the final count was
made it was found that Jones
Fuller 101.03, and a motion was
made that the nomination be
made unanimous which was car
ried, but not with a whoop such
as would have been the case any
time Monday of early in the day
Tuesday; for every man present
was too hoarse to be heard far.
MR. FULLER SENT FOR.
As soon as the demonstration
over tne nnai seuiemenk oj
over, there were cries for Ful
ler and some of his friends went
out for him. Mr. Fuller spoke
as follows.
'I deem it that you will not
consider it strange m view oi
the strenuous contest through
I
one. (Laughter) I think I would
have done pretty well myself,
lam chairtable enough, to be
lieve that you don't love me less
but 'your man more. I don't
have any sore spots. I am a
democrat. And I might as well
say a Bryan democrat. (Great
applause.) I expect to go to
Charlotte as a delegate and help
elect him. (Cheers.) And I
want Jones Fuller and Frank
Hobgood to do the same. I ex
pect to go to Charlotte as a dele
gate and stay there until I see a
plank in the platform condemn
ing trusts and monopolies of ev
ery kind. But I don't want to
speak. I want to sleep. I need
it. Jones Fuller needs it, you all
need it." (Applause.)
Mr. Hobgood was also present
by this time and a short talk in
which he thanked all his sup
porters and expressed his regrets
that there was not enough jobs
for each of the candidates. ,
After Mr. Hobgood, a motion
to adjourn was entertained and
carried without dissent and the
convention that had fought so
hard for the nomination of three
men adjourned and delegates de
parted to go their way, some to
bed others out to catch the first
train for Greensboro, and others
to tell their friends about the
result.
f Death Id East Durham.
Miss Lessie Pope died Wednes
day afternoon at 6:45 at her
home in East Durham. She had
been sick for sometime. Miss
which we; have passed, if
have Ino speech of acceptance
prepared. (Laughter.) And
nnt take tm vour time in
speech making because I know
you are tired and want sleep. I
have feltlthat nervous tension
myself. But I cannot mis3 this
opportunity to thank all of my
friends for their loyal support,
and to express my gratitude to
those who were against me for
their kindness and fairness lo
an opponent I shall as solicitor
show f no mercy criminals ana
th inruwent have nothing to
fear from me.
Again thank!ng you and hop
ing when I retire from omce,
you can say well done, faithfu
orvnnt. I hone that we shal
W W mmmm
see each other often. ,
MR. CATTIS SPEAKS.
Me fifttti- who had been
around near the court house dur
ing the session of the convention
came in and said a lew woras:

strange notion to invite a man
to attend his own funeral 1 wan

and the Alamance delegation.
