DAVIS NAJLED
The convention this afternoon nomi
nated Mr. Davis as Its candidate for the
Presidency on the 103rd be Hot, and
adjourned until tonight to nominate
a Vice-Presidential candidate after It
had made a futile effort to name Sena- \
tor Thomas J. Walsh, of Montana,
chairman of the convention, for sec- 1
ond place on the ticket by acclama
tion.
WAJL8H DECLINES
After the night session opened a ,
formal statement by Senator Walsh
declining the nomination was read :
to the convention. E. T. Meredith, of I
Iowa, to whom the McAdoo forces at
tempted to throw their strength after
the Callfornian had released his dele
gates, mentioned as the next .
"^choice for Clce-Presldent, but he, too, '
| Issued a statement declaring he would
not accept the nomination.
HEAK ORATORY I
The convention, after transacting
routine business, then proceeded with
nomination speeches for Vice-Presi
dent, hearing addresses by James M.
Cox, of Ohio, the standard-bearer In
1920, and Governor A1 Smith, of New
York, at lntercals during the nominat
ing oratory.
As midnight accroached the ballot
ing for a nomlna for Vice-President
had not begun. W
Win* on lOSrd
JohnW. Davis, of West Virginia, was
nominated for President today by the
Democratic National Convention after
the 103rd ballot.
The opposition of William J. Bryan
and the attempt of William O. McAdoo
to deliver his strenth to Meredith
failed to stop him.
Flop Fast
Beginning with this morning's bal
loting the movement to Davis gathered
a momentum which could not be re
tarded and gradually, but surely thru
the succeeding ballots the votes flopp
ed over into the John W. Davis column
and state after state either Increased
its offering to him, or turned over Its
whole sucta.
Bryan's opposition to Davla was
?wept a?*y in the rata of Davla votes
which swept over the convention. The
attempt of the McAdoo forces to make
E. T. Meredith, of Iowa, the heir to
the McAdoo strength commanded ?
following which made only a bad
third and when the Davis flood was
rising sto fast that all other candfdaUs
ware be tig swept away, Iowa, Mere
dith's home state, withdrew him from
the oonteat and voted (or Davis.

convention.
Joy and Belief
Immediately the tired, worn and
weary convention, which had been
struggling in the throes of a seeming
ly interminable deadlock for two
weeks ? with the threat of going a
third ? broke loose in a demonstration
of Joy and relief.
Immediately all the state standards
which had previously been parading
tor other candidates ? some of them
in the midst of hard fought battles of
partisan dispute ? were carried into
the aisles of the convention hall while
a swirling, perspiring, but happy
crowd of delegates followed In a pro
cession of joy and Jubilation.
The Montana standard was the last
one out, but only-tiecause there was a
dispute there as to who should have
the honor of carrying it In the proces
sion. The band swung into Dixie. The
' Battle Hymn of the Republic, Mary
land, and other favorite airs which
had been dinned into the ears of the
[convention in a ceaseless fusillade of
music for the last two weeks.
Kltehle Leads
Governor Ritchie himself led tBe'
Maryland delegation In the processiop
.and for a convention as prolonged
and hard fought as the present one
( had been, the demonstration for Dav
is was a demonstration of unity and
:good feeling and relief.
I The Davis people, Jubilant after a
fight through two sessions to nominate
their mafi, sent the leaders of their
1 delegation, headed by Mrs. Izetta
[Jewel Brown, to the platform to re
'view the procession. They had work
|ed hard to nominate him In San Fran
cisco four years ago and bad tailed;
| they had worked hard In New York
and had suffered the discouragement
of seeing his chances drop to almost
nothing before they turned and rose
on the debris of the deadlock between
Smith and McAdoo.
Crowd Happy
The crowd was happy at the pros
pect of having a nomination and go
ing home and the delegates and al
ternates pranced happily along with
as much vigor as if they had not been
at it for countless days and nights and
as If they were not actually shy sev
eral aggregate nights of sleep.
Later telegraphic information re
ceived in Louisburg early Thursday
morning states that Governor Charles
W. Bryan, of Nebraska, was nominat
ed as Vice-President.
This Is considered by many of the
leading figures In National politics, to
be an exceptionally strong ticket.

the death angel Waited the home ot
Mr*. Francis Griffin of Centervtlle and
took from them a beloved daughter
and slater. Katy Belle, she had not been
111 for any time, but God saw fit to
take her to live with Him In a brighter
and better home, ft Is not for us to
question why she should hare been
taken from ns. God U too wise to make
a mistake, and may His will be done
forever.
Katy Belle was nineteen years of
age, and leaves a -mother, one slsfer
and five brothers, besides a host of
friends to mourn their lost. She was
a good faithful girl and always glad
to make others happy.
A faithful one from us has gone,
A voice we loved la stilled.
A place ls vacant In the home,
Which never can be filled.
Her faneral was conducted by her
pastor, Rev. G. W. Iter. June 80th, at
3:80 o'clock, and her body laid to rest
near the home.
A large number of friends were pre
sent. and followed her to her grave
with aching hearts.
The abundance of flowers told that
she was loved by a host ot friends. . .

BEAM WINS
BY 6 VOTES
Justice Leads Lancaster by
127 Votes
Grist Leads Shipman by 1,1*7? F'raak
Un County's Second Primary Casts
Bltf Vote ? Newell May Contest
Count
Possibly the closest primary vote
ever recorded In Franklin County was
that on last Sautrday when Mr. O.
M. Beam lead Mr. S. A] Newell by six
votes for the Judgeship of the Re
corders Court. The vote as recorded
by the Board of Canvassers on Mon
day showed that Beam had received
1,476 votes and Newell 1,470 votes. The
peculiar feature of this contest was
that Newell carried seven out of the
ten townships. It will be remembered
that In the first primary Beam re
ceived 1.181 votes and Newell received
962 votes.
At the conclusion of the canvass
Newell gave notice that h> would call
for a recount, but stated that he did
not think anyone had done anything
wrong, only that people are not In
fallible and therefore he wanted to be
assured against a possible error.
Justice lead his opponent, J. J.
Lancaster, for Sheriff in the second
primary Saturday In a majority of
127; Justice receiving 1,542 votes and
'Lancaster 1.415 vo.tes. In the first pri
mary Justice received 1.379 votes,
while Lancaster received 994 votes.
Possibly the most general Interest
in the Second primary in Franklin
County was In that for Commissioner
of Labor and Printing, between Grist
and Shipman. when by the efforts -ot
the ex-service men and their friends
they changed a substantial lead In the
first primary for Shipman to an over
whelming lead for Grist In the last.
The vote stood, Grist 1,989, Shipman
862.
Reports from all voting preclnts
gave evidence of the best ot order
and good feelings and everything pass
ed off. nicely, with a much larger vote
| than any one had expected.

FIREMEN DID
EFFECTIVE WORK
In Savin# Building's Last
Thursday
Losses Estimated to be Aro??d Eight
Thousand Dollar*, Mostly Water
Damage.
Since the smoke and excitement has
cleared away and the owners have
had time to go over their losses and
make a (air estimate li haa developed
that around eight thousand dollars
damage was done to Blocks and build
ings in the fire that originated In the
upper story of the building occupied
by A. S. Wiggs, on Nash street on last
Thursday. The origin of the fire
still unknown But for the quick and
efficient action of Louisburg's Fire
Department no doubt the I03S would
haFe run into the hundreds of thous
ands as it was evident if the fire had
'gotton control! prvbably a whole
block including the opera house build
ing would have gone up in smoke. It
required only a few minutes for the
boys of the voluntary flr e department
to be all over the building and as
suming control.
The losses as h.-.s been estimated
are as follows:
F W. Wheless. heavy v.-ater dam
age to a stock of shoes valued at
$2,500.00. damage reaching possibly
$2,700.00. fully insured.
Ford & Wholess damage to building
$500.00, insured.
Freeman & Co.. fiamage to tuilding
$1,500.00. insured.
Neeese's Shoe Shop, i rtcr damage.
$75.00.

to stock $3,400.00. insurance $3,000.00.
