Delighted That General Carr is to Go to !be Legislature and Hopes Republicans Will do the N Nice Ttlng. ' , 'The Old Mau" came in last Saturday afternoon late and be gan at once to complain that he was tired, but said that he jusc had to stay and see the conven tion out: - ' , "I am just from the conven tion, where we had a lively time for more than three hours. I tell you that convention was well worth attending. It was a good ly crowd of representative men of Durham county more than I expected to see from the interest manifested in the primaries the Saturday before. The nomina tions for the county officers mov ed along nicely until it came to the point where the county com missioners were to be named. The naming of these men created more interest than all the rest of the nominations up to that time. Finally after much balloting, five good men were chosen and the ticket looks good to most Demo crats.- "The real demonstration came when Col. t&enehan Cameron arose and in well chosen words nominated General Julian S. Carr for the legislature. After " the hollering was over Mr. Carr arose and thanked all for the honor, but asked that Mr. Braw ley be placed on the ticket. After a little speech-making, however, the nomination of Mr. Carr was made unanimous. For one I am of the opinion that the Democra tic party and Durham county should feel honored that General Carr should accept the nomina tion and represent Durham coun ty in the next General Assembly. "The convention adjourned in good humor and the townships of the county at once went into the nomination of magistrates and a constable. This was expected to creciDitate trduble in Durham township and doubtless would if it had not bee'n for the fact that Mr. Raymond Hall, the nominee of the first ballot, was the proud father of twins about a week old and the news began to become known. ' 'Since I came in to see you last I have been out in the coun try trying to find out what the farmers around Bahama and Rougemont have been doing this year. I tell you, most rf the farmers where I have been have been busy if the condition of their crops is any indication of the amount of work they have done. "1 went out the Rougemont road for I bad enough curiosity to want to see the tract of land that Ed Carrington sold to Mr. Everett. However, I did not know when I got there, so I had to take it out in admiring the road. "When I got over about Ba hama I remembered what a friend recently told me regard ing my visit in that section and got along fine. Almost every person I met that I did not know, I just said, 'How are you, Mr. Tilley,' and 1 never missed it a sinaletime. Of course I knew Will Farriah and that he was working hard eo that he could leave Saturday and come here to the cpnvention and holler every time son.e fellow made a good speech. - I arrived in Rougemont just in time to see John .Thacker como in from hia mail route horse looked like the and his j. .weather i wan hnt- whom IaVih V,n,l k. t . .,s,v titbit, vutiii uau uirtrii. l also met my old friends Par rish, McCutchen, Carver and many others that I do not recall just now, all of whom had a pleasant word. I almost forgot to say I missed my old friend.W, M. Blalock, because he was with some fellow off in the country (about three miles from Rouge mont) trying to sell , him a town l0t.' 'Lots of people from over in that section of the country come to Durham, for on my way back I met George Hopkins and Char! lie Crabtree, who had been, to Durham trading. ' , "I have only one regret of my trip over the northern part of the county and that is that I did not get on the route of that moon shine still that was captured to day. I wa3 always fond cf the beer at one of these stills and know I would have enjoyed my self better had I been in the right path."- , ' , ;-x ; The old man left smacking his lips as he told about that stilled beer that he missed.

HamHtoa Executed. Angelo Hamilton, who was five times respited by Governor Mann, of Virginia, was executed Friday and his remains reached Durham Friday nijht. Attempts were made to have the execution further stayed, but Governor Mann declared the senteneer3ust and would interfere no further. Before his death Hamilton con fessed his guilt and had no criti cism of the law. He admitted that the penalty was just. He leaves a wife and two chil dren, who live at Henderson, and whom he had left for a strange woman, the one he later killed. He was a young man of pleasing appearance and the ' horrible punishment is regretted by all who knew him. Death tt Kiss Rasa Ice Miss Rosa Lee, sister of R. N.
