HALL OP TRIBULATION.
Quite a Hot Time Over Endors
ing Chairman Adams Post
master Hatch Blows Both Hot
and Cold. !
T o a disinterested on-iooker the
Republican County Convention which
wag held in the Opera House on last
Saturday, was a very amstsmg affair.
John Williamson in his "palmy days"
could not furnish a greater "farce"
than that pulled off on this occasion.
Even ei-Judge Timberlake, of Wake
Forest, who was a very much inter
ested spectator, turned to the Times
man, at one stage of the proceedings.
and remarked, "ain't this a mess?"
The convention, if it could be dig
nified by calling it such, was called
to ordei by Chairman R. R. Harris,
postmaster at Louisburg, and Dr. P.
R. Hatch, postmaster at Youngsville,
was elected permanent Chairman, E.
F. Yarborouh, assistant postmaster
at Louisburg, was elected Secre
tarv.
Upon a roll call it developed that
all of the townships except Gold
Mine and Cedar Rock were repre
sented as follows: Dunns by Kan-
son Dodd, Harris' by Tom Jackson
Youngsville by Dr. Hatch and JL K.
O 1
Mitchell, Franklinton by J. J. - Ed
wards and II. L. Strickland, Hayes
ville by W. W. Green, Sandy Creek
by Bob Carr, Cypress Creek byQal-
vin Benton, Louisburg by, E. H
Hight. In addition to the delegates
there were fifteen others, who claim
to be Republicans, apparently taking
interest in the proceedings A jew
Democrats had seats in rear of the
hall merely as spectators.' About, a
half dozen negroes came in and took
seats on the right ai&e of the hall,
but they took no part in the proceed
ings. Upon taking the Chair Dr. Hatch
stated that he was not up on "parlia
mentary rules;" and as the proceed
ings progressed he fully exhibited
h ignorance along this line, as - he
fell down on the first "move."
J. F. Mitchell was on his feet, as
ioon aa Chairman Hatch announced
that the Convention was ready for
business, and said that he desired to
introduce some resolutions and cou-
pled with this desire a motion .that
they be adopted. (This before they
had been read.) Whereupon County
lhairman Harris arose and said that
be had some resolutions he wished
to be read before any others wei
adopted, but W. W. Green, (who
with the assistance of J. E. Mitchell
and Postmaster Hatch, seemed to be
running the whole business) jumped
to his feet and demanded that a vote
to taken upon the first resolution in
troduced, and insisted that.no other
business could be transacted until
una was done. About this time some
one demanded that the resolutions be
'wd. This was done by the Secre
cy- It then dawned upon the
petator8 why Green was so anxious
toat the resolutions go through raS
nce. Of course they contained en
dorsements of the President, Taft fc
but they failed to say anything
'egarding State Chairman Adams,
also contained a clause instruct
iDg the delegates to the Congressional
Convention to vote fer px-Judge
Timberlake, as a delegate from this
Strict to the .National 'Republican
invention. Thia didn't auk Countv

"aided up"withthe Timberlake forces,
