Camp bell, manager of the popular At . Ian tic Hotel, was anevent of great pleasure to those participating and was watched with interest and real enjoyment by throngs of guests in the balconies and wings of the spacious and airy ball room. Quite a number of young people from this city and along the line of the A. & N. CYR. R. went down Saturday afternoon to take part iu the occasion. The Democratic party of the nation in convention in Chicago, which was perhaps vtsemost rep resentative body of the brains and statesmanship and manhood of America and, therefore, that the world has ever known ever assembled in political confer ence, have pliced at the head of the ticket the youngest man ever named by any party for Presi dent of the United States Wil liam J, Bryan, of Nebraska. Mr. Bryan is only 36 years of age, but ha had already "m&3e his mark" in the halls of Con gress and bafore the people. As a Representative from his State la the lower House by one great speech, several years ago. in be half of silver, he surged right to the forefront and re tnained there with easy ability until he declined to stand for re nomination, preferring to remain at home and work among his peo ple for the furtherance of ?re3 silver than to further fight for it without avail in t he halls of Con gress, dominated, as it so often is, by strategy and stult; and for that self sacrifice, for his abiding faith iu the cause of silver and in the common people, he is now brought to command the mar shalled forces for silver suprem acy in the nation. A man of powerful brain, of cultured intellect, of ready speech, of resistless oratory, his masterly speech for silver betore the convention swayed that vast body of giant intellects as a mighty wind sways a great forest and swept it into a tornado of en thustasm that lifted him at once to the highest pinnacle ef the party's honor to the head of the national ticket. His nomination means that the Democracy under his leadership will sweep the country even as he swept the convention. He stands, lor the progress and progressive de mands of theage, with the power to cope for their supremacy with all adversaries and the youthful V'gor to guarantee their perpet uity and enforce their provis ions. The convention is still in ses sion, as we write, casting for a vice-president, with the chances running in favor of McLean, of Ohio, and the nomination will be made before these lines reach the eyes of our readers; but whoever he be, it is settled now, that the ticket nominated by this con vention will be elected in No vember next.by the greatest pop ular vote the country has ever known. OLD TIME RELIGION. Protracted Services In St, John Church Creating Much Interet-t. The hour hand on the church ctoek was pointing to two this morning when a number of peni tents arose from their knees and St. John church was finally va cated and the lights put out. The service had been continued from 8:30 o'clock yesterday evening and during the early evening the church was crowded until ther was not even standing robnl' iu the aisles and vestibule. The larger portion of the crowd re mained until after 11 o'clock, when those who were present from the country and several in town who had grown weary left and went home, but there still remained quite a number of zeal ous workers to intercede for those who were seeking pardon, peace and power. For the past week there had been reviyal services in vogue in St John church, at which quite a number had professed conver sion and several claimed sancths fication . During these services there has been no preaching by the pastor. Tne congregation and those claiming sauctification occupy the time for a sermon in testify ing to the consciousness of hav ing the approval of a merciful God in all thijir actions and ex pressing the happiness that only such a consciousness brings. The meetings all last week had been well attended and many and earnest were the testimonies from bright young faces, as well as those in which time had wrought many wrinkled fur rows, who had claimed church membership for thirty and forty years and had never had such a gracious experience before. To accomodate the crowd that was expected yesterday morning the Congregation of St. John went to St. Paul church to wor ship aud that beautiful and spa cious edifice was thronged, and right mu;h interest was mani fested. But tne service last night at St. John, as told in th begin ning of this article, eclipstd all the enthusiastic scenes of Crump ler's sanctificalin services in the tabernacle, and if it is not a cli max the community will not know what next to expect. J. T. S. YOUNG DROWNED. WAYNE COTTON MILL. Now Runuing on Full Time With 50 Operatives- The hum of the spindle and the racket of the loom are now heard at the Wayne Cotton Mill in this city from 6 o'clock in the morn ing until 7 at night. The mill is visited throughout the day by town people, who have all heard of making cloth so rapidly by machinery, but very few have ever seen the sight. The taking of raw cotton from the bale and returning in its stead a piece of white sheeting, 36 inches wide is a sight worth seeing, and this is just what the Wayne Cotton Mill is doing. To do all this required an immense amount of machinery, all of which performs each its intricate task with human -like deftness. At present there ae about fifty operatives employed in running tne mm, ana tnere is room for about a dozen mor weavers to commence work next Monday morning. A great many of the operatives have never seen a mill oeiore, wniie tnere are those that have come from Ra leigh, Durham and several other towns throughout the State, and have had years of practical ex perience. There are 88 looms in all, that when run on full time by skilled operatives will average an out. put of 3,000 yards of cloth daily. At present tne mill is only run during the day, but the mill has its own electric light plant and after awhile it is the intention of the management to employ a double force of operatives and lun both day and night. This kind of an industry has helped many a town throughout the South, and at no distant - day the benefits, that are sure to ac crue from the employment of labor will be realized in Golds boro.

In accord ance with the call issued by Chairman Harrity, of the Nation alrCommittee, the members of the new and old organ'zatioas met at the Palmer House this iLf ternoon. There were present all told about thirty-five gentle men and besides members of the committee a number of news paper men were given seats. Mr. Harrity said, after calling the members to order, that the meet ing: was held in accordance with the general custom of bringing together the members of , the old and new committpes after the ccnvention had completed its business in order to become ac quainted and that authority ight be given to close up the business in connection with the convention, which now consisted largely if not altogether of the payment of expenses incurred on account of its meeting. He was happy to inform the mem bers of the committee that funds were in the hands of the treas urer more than sufficient to meet all the obligations that were out standing, and to return to the treasurer of the citizens' com mittee, something of a surplus for distributing to the contribu tors of the fund. Gen. Blair, of Kansas, the old est member of the committee in point of service except Mr. Sul loway, of New Hampshire, pre sented resoluions of thanks to Chairman Harrity for the im partiality, faithfulness and sin gleness of aeyotioa with which the chairman of the committee had performed the duties of his position and to Secretary Sheer--in for his successful labors, aU ways so courteously and kindly The resolutions were unani mously adopted. While the committee was in session the candidates, Messrs. Bryan and Sewall, came into the room and were heartily congrat ulated, but took no part in the proceedings. The new national Uommittee reassembled at 9.30 p. m. Mr. Brvan being present by in vita tion, remained throughout the session, wnicn lasted until ii.u p. m. Senator Jones was elected chairman of the National Com mittee and given practically un limited powers. It- was decided that tne candi - dates for President bs notified of their nomination in Madison Square Garden, New York city. The dale was not fixed, but it will probably be about July 21st or 22nd. There was considerable infor mal talk about the conduct of the campaign, the location of national headquarters, and other matters. Several members ex pressed the opinion that Chicago was the logical neadquarters from which the campaign should be directed, but others favored New York city. It was said that Mt. Bryan is in fayor of the latter city. There was a general disposi tion to leave the determination of all these matters to Senator Jones and the campaign com mittee, which he will appoint It is expected that these matters will oe settled at a meeting held in New York city about the time tbe candidates are notified. Found dead ! There is something- so shocking- about udden death that the mere mention of it wrenches the nerves of sensitive people. Millions of people pray for deliverance from it. livery Sunday in every Episcopal church in the world, these words are said : " From battle, and murder and sudden death, Good Lord, deliver us.' Just why sudden death should be shock ing, and death after lingering disease easy to bear, would puzzle any one to tell. It would seem that it would be more terrible to see seme loved one wasting away, daily becoming weaker daily slipping toward t. death no less certain because it was slow it. coming. Consumption causes more death) than heart disease more than cholera more than yellow fever more than an? other disease the world has ever known And yet people are careless about it. A map in danger of sudden death from heart dis ease can avoid the danger simply by keeping quiet and avoiding excitement. Consump tion goes right on with its deadly work, no matter what the man does or how he con ducts himself, if he doesn't take the right medicine to cure it. Consumption affects the whole body. It is a blood disease. It permeates the whole system. It shows ia the lungs because the blood goes to tb lungs for purification. It carries impurities there to be made pure. If there is too muct impurity, the lungs are over-worked. over loaded the impurity stops there. The germs 6f disease stop there. They develop and multiply and then consumption takes definite form.
