BR OWN DEMANDS SECOND VliU
MAKY.
Leaves Nomination to Weaver and Ex
tends Congratulations to Hlu; Lit
tle Probability of Colonel Jones Op
posing Manning: In Second Primary.
Complete State Returns.
It now appears that no second pri
mary will be held save In the Sixth
district to settle the nomination for
Congress. Mr. Joseph A. Brown, of
Columbus cpunty, who received the
highest yote to Mr. Godwin In ?thj
first primary, yesterday wired the
State Board of Elections here demand
ing a second primary, and -according
to law his wishes will be complied
with.
There was no majority for CongreBS
in the Tenth district also, but the con
test was eliminated yesterday when
Judge Justice declared that he would
not ask for a second primary thereby
giving Mr. .Weaver the nomination.
Concerning the decision of Judge Jus
tice was the following telegram from
A8heville.
There will be no second primary
for the congressional nomination In
the Tentl* District. Judge M. H. Jus
tice, runner-up in the recent primar
ies, sent Senator Zebulon Weaver, the
leading candidate, a letter yesterday,
in which he extended congratulations
to Mr. Weaver, Informed him that he
(Judge Justice) would not call for a
second primary, and proffered his as
sistance in redeeming the district for
Democracy this fall. Prank S. Hewitt
and Sol. Gallert, the either two candi
dates also tendered. 'their congratuTp.
tions, and announced their^ Intention
of making an earnest fight this fall
for the purpose of retiring Congress
man James J. Brltt to the practice cf
law in Asheville.
^es the news from CHkSJSf^lfaLt' T^rT1
Brltt is voting whole-heartedly for
Justice Hughes for the Republican ;
nomination for the presidency, and as
most of the Tenth district republicans
are strong for Roosevelt, this Is ex
pected to have conside>able weight in ;
the electlonlhis fall. Republicans
who favor Roosevelt are outspoken
against tho tactics of Mr. Brltt and
every indication points to a Democratic,
representative from the Tenth con
gressional district in Congress next
fall.
Jones Not Likely to Run.
The only state office In which there
was not a nomination was that of at
torney-general. The two highest can
didates are Judge Manning and Col.
Jones, of Lenoir, but it Is not likely
that Col. Jones will demand a second
^ primary. A friend of the colonel's In
this city yesterday received a letter
from him in which he stated that his
pre <ent Inclination was not to enter a
second primary; that he thought it un
wise to put the State to this expense
and in this letter he also expressed
great admration for Judge Manning
He also expressed his warm apprecia
tion of the support givea him in every
ectlon of the State.
Judge Manning's vote was more
?ban double that of any other candi
late. ^
The State board of elections is still
without the official returns from Pam
lico and Tyrrell counties. By using the
unofficial returns from these two coun
the News and Observer is able to gjve
the complete vote of each candidate,
the vote for governor being given by
counties.

('?me Almost Any Hoar.
Washington, June 13.? Unless the
ncreasiag seriousness of. conditions in
ifexico forces action sooner the reply
o General Carranza's demand for
withdrawal of American troops profo
ibly will be delayed until after the
3t. Louis convention because the Ad
alnstration desires to avod any dras
;ic step at a time when it might ap
pear to be prompted by political in
fiuences.
Secretary Lansing and his adviaers
are said to hare given careful consid
eration to the possibility that the Ad
ministration might be charged with
playing politics la dealing with the
problem. The vapid spread of the an
ti-American propaganda in northern
Mexioo,. however, coupled with, in
creasingly grave economic conditions
may take the situation out of their
hands.
Neat feature Prediction.
No official would venture a predic
tion tonight as to what might be ex
pected in the immediate future. In
common with some consuls In Mexico
they believe almost any eventuality is
possible with agitators working on the
feelings of a people already distress
ed by the fruits of prolonged disorder
It was stated positively that the Wash
ington Government was considering
no aggressive action to be taken of its
own motion, but stood ready to net
should assaults on Americans or an
attack on General Pershing's troops
force the issue.
The State Department today receiv
ed confirmation of the identification
pf one of the Mexicans killed in the
^olamap ranch, raid as Lieutenant
Colonel Villareal of the Carranza army
It is understood the development im
mediately was called to General Car
ranza's attention but offices were in
cllqed not to give it special signifi
cance pending an explanation from
the de facto Government. The loose
control of the Carranza commanders
aver their men is one of the complica
ting factors with which the Adminis
tration has been confronted all alone.
Preparing Sharp Rejoinder.
A sharp rejoinder is being prepared
to the Carranfe demands which will
repeat the intention of President Wil
son to keep American troops in Mexi
co until the Carranza -troops have
shown their ability and intention to
properly police the border States.
Th? reply also is to rebuke the de
facto Government for the si^ggestions
and statements in its note, question
ing the good faith of the Washington
Administration. Some officials regard
part of the note as insulting to a de
gree not to be tolerated, and if their
advice is followed ^ts author will be
called to sharp accouut.
Secretary Lansing has had before
him a mass of data dealing with the
assertions of fact set up by the Mexi
can note. He expects to be able to
fe{ute nfost of these statements, and
the datfy crop of messages from Me?c
ico telHhg of new disturbances will
supply additional evidence that the
de facto Government tioes not in fact
Jexercise the control it claims over the
border 9tatf?.
Plans to Mot*
Pending the sending of the reply,
steps h?ve been in progress some days
toward meeting any emergency that
may arise. Conferences between State
and Navy Department officials have
resulted in the formulation of defi
nite plans for the removal of Ameri
cans who would gather in Mexican
ports should a serious outbreak of
anti-American feeling force them to
flee or should there be a clash be
tween American and Mexican troops.
It Is known, too. that the posabllity of
calling out more State militia has
been the subject of renewed discus
sion among officials.
The motives behind the anti- Amer
ican propaganda and the precise at
titude of General Carranza toward the
agitation both are subjects of specula
tion. Many officials are convinced
that the de facto Government is tot
tering, and think General Carranzamay
have sent his beligerent note with the
deliberate purpose of provoking th-3
Washington Administration to inter
vention.
"The control of the first chief over
the various elements of his army and
at his civil government Is manifestly
weakening, according to official re
port*. Instance* have been reported
Where tax collectors, sent by the Car
ranza Government, have been driver*
out by State authorities and people.
Decrees have been promulgated by
State Governors dealing with matters
that belong under the Mexican Consti
tution purely to the Central Gpvern
ments.

JEWELRY BUSINESS
CHANGES OWNERSHIP
(ieorge W. Hayes Buys Old Establish
ed Shop of J. Hervey Doane. . *
We reproduce the following item ta
ken from the Plalnfleld Dally Press of
April 13th, 1916, which will, no doubt
be of interest to many of our people.
Mr. Hayes is a Loulsburg boy and has
many friends here who congratulate
him in this venture.
One of the most important business
changes that has been noted localiy
in several years was made known this
morning, when it was announced that
George W. Hayes had purchased from
J. Herrey Doane, the latter's jewelry
establishment at 113 Park avenue. Mr.
Hayes has been associated with Mr.
Doane in conducting the shop for the
past fifteen years and recently has
been in sole charge because of the pro
prietor's absence due to illness. It
is because of Mr. Doane's health
which has been impared for a long
^i me,- that the change in ownership
was decided upon.
The Doane jewelry business is per
haps the oldest established in the city.
It was founded maay years ago by the
late John A. Clare in a frame building
occupying the site of the present Co
ward structure. Mr. Doane succeeded
Mr. Clare in 1880 and a, few years la
ter when the old building was torn
down to make room for a more mod
ern one. the business was conducted
temporarily across the street When
'the Coward structure was finshed, Mr.
Doane moved back to the store which
he has occupied ever since. By strict
business-like methods and giving the
public the very best in repair work a*>
well as an up-to-date stock to select
from the establishment became ons-of
the most successful in this vicinity.
Mr. Hayes is a native of North Car
olina. where he acquired his know
ledge of the jewelry trade and since
coming to Plainfield he has made a
host of friends. It is his intention to
greatly increase the stock and enlarge
all departments in order to make the
place the "last word" for Plainfield
shoppers seeking anything an up-to
date concern of this kind should have.
Mr. Hayes is an expert at repairing
clocks, watches, and will have qble as
sistants in takng care of this depart
ment as well as the optical depart
| ment which has been a feature of the
| store.
.Miss Williams Music Class;
The recital given by the music clhss
night at the Opera House was a source
of great enjoyment for a large num-w
ber of our people. The house was
packed and enjoyed every number,
which wasespecially well rendered and
reflected much credit upon both teach
er and pupils. This class is composed
mainly of little tots who are just be
ginning music and to see the wonder
ful development of their musical ta)
ent by Miss WilUams was a treat and
a marvel. It is^ interesting to*' note
thaf out of a class of about twemy
five there is "one boy, Mr. William
Cooke, who shows splendid talent un- *
der his excellent leader. Each num
ber was especially fine and it would
be next to impossble to single oul any
particular pieces pr performers, who
deserve more mention, than others,
however, it may be fitting to say that
Miss Sallie Taylor's violin and single
hand piano selections were .wonderful
and that of Miss Louise Vandergrift
was especially good.
This recital was a source of great
pleasure to Miss Williams' many
friends in Louisburg. Although know
ing that her equals as musical instruc
tor are rare, the scope of the success
of this first years work was truely a
surprise. She is truly a master In
music and Louisburg is proud of hav
ing her in its midst to develop thU
beautiful talent in its younger genera
tion.

cause was accidentally misplaced for
which -^e offer our apologies ? Editor).
