The Democratic State Convention
which assembled in Charlotte last
week was the largest holitical con
ventior ever held in the State. It
was estimated that there wtre at
least 5,000 delegates and visitors in
attendance. The triends of the three
candidates for Governor stood loyal
ly by their favorite for sixty ballots,
winch consumed three days and a por
tion of two nights.
The three candidates went into
the convention with the fol-
fraetions.) Kitchen 376. Craig.
338. Home 143. With some few
chanees, the above vote was kept up
for sixty ballots, when Ashley Home
came before the convention, and in a
patriotic speech withdrew his m me,
extending sincere ' and grateful
thanks to those who had so loyalty
stood by him for so long a time.
On the 61st ballot W. W. Kitch
en received the nomination, by the
following vote: Kitchen 473. Craig
lowing vet?, (leaving' off the1 381.
The applause among the delegates,
even from hose who were opposing
his candidate, was load and long,
and the galleries fairly went wild.
This speech haf a great deal todo

Attorney General.
. Taken as a whole the ticket is a
strong one, and will be overwhelm
mingly elected in November. It ' is
the duty of eyery tiue Democrat to
give it his hearty support. It ia-ili
right to have our differences before
the convention meets and names the
ticketj bat after this is done, no hon
est party manespecially if he took
any part in the primaries will re
fuse to stand by the nominees.
The winners have the same right
to expect the support of the losers
that the latter would have had if the
result had been different.
There are several good campaign
ers on the licket, starting with W:
W. Kitchen, and they will make it
"hot" for the Rtpullicans or any
others who may have the courage to
oppose them.
On the last ballot for Governor
Franklin's vote was 13.50 for Kitch
en and .50 for Craig.

The speeches- nominating A the

Home, was the best A nominating
speech 'made in, the conyention. ; Mr.
Bickett ap'peared at his best, jnd his
speech seemed to electrify the entire
about 8,000',- people.
Hon. T. W. Bickett.
An able lawyer, one amongst th
most eloquent speakers in the State,
sunny spirited and happy hearted,
the nomination of Hon. T. V. Bick
ett, of Louisburg, as the Democratic
candidate for Attorney General by
Charlotte convention will bring satin-
faction to the prty, for he will up
hold Democracv with a mighty pow
er atrainst any who raav dare to rret
him in debate during the "calirpaign.
Mr. Bickett was a udark horse"" in
the campaign. In the convention he
had made the speech placing in nom
ination Hon. Ashley Home for Gov
ernor, and it was such a speech that
it caught the ear of the convention
and the ear of the State. The name
of Bickett became linked with elo
quence and abilitv. so that the dele
gates rallied to him as one who
bad made himself a State figure.
Mr. Bickett was born in LTnion
county in 1869, graduated at Wake
Forest College in 1890, read law at
the University of North Carolina and,
began practice in 1893. He has
held but one political office, being a
member of the last legislature, in
which he took a leading part. One
of the many important bills he intro
duced was that approperiatiog $500,
000 for the care of the indigent in
sane and the speech he made in uig-
ing it was one of the most eloquent
and most notable of the session. It
was his bill to prevent lobbying
whish passed the House but died in
the Senate. As the Attorney Gen
eral of North Carolina he will be
found to be a power, as he is justly
regarded as one of the ablest ltwyers
in the State. -News-Observer.

assisted by the men conducting the
men's institute. As this meeting will
be held on the same day and at the
same place as the fanners institute a
joint meeting of the men and women
may be arranged for the afternoon.
.The women have greater and even
more , perplexing problems in the
homes than the men hare on the
farms. Why 8h6uld they , not come
together andjILscuss these' problems
arid ;et inspiration and help la solv
ing them. , ; ye have heard., or no
woman attending such an institnte
who did not become interested.
r Those not familiar with the pur
poses of the institutes being held by
our State Department of Agriculture
for the benefit of the women from
the farm homes may be interested la
knowing something ot the class of
subjects dweojaed at the melia.
Any or all of th following ruy b
d'wcu4el it thoc prent d:r:
The Farm Fruit Garden.
The Farm Vegetable Farm.
Fatm Poultry.
Farm-Hatter Making.
Beautifying tb'e Home Surround
ing.
Home Convenience.
Literature for th Farm Home.

These are a fair sample o( the
questions that may bo dicated at

ly they are practical tubjecU and an
