McAllister Hardware Co.'s Store En tered Monday Night Twenty-two Pistols, Some Cartridges and Pock et Knives Stolen $150 Worth of Goods No Clue. TVi McAllister Hardware Com pany's store on Elm street was brok-! on intn MonHav ni o-ht. A window in ' tua uofW nf the building- was nrized ! pDen an(j tne back door was opened I foni the inside, DOtn Winaow arm i were stolen, also quite a 101 oi cart- ridges, a flash light and a number of pocket knives. It is estimated that at least $150 worth of goods were taken. There is no clue to the guilty party or parties, but it is thought to nave been the work of local thieves. This was a daring burglary as the store broken into was right on Elm street, near the court house square. Night Policeman J. B. Boyle was the first to discover that the store had been robbed, making the discovery about 5:30 Tuesday morning. Serious Cutting Affray at Whiteville Albert Byrnes, about 22 years old, was stabbed in the breast and seri ously wounded by Frank Lewis, a man about 50 years old, at Whiteville Tuesday afternoon in the store of Os car High, where Byrnes is employed. Lewis stabbed without warning and it was at first thought that the young man would die, but a dispatch from Whiteville in this morning's Wilming ton Star stares that his condition is favorable and his recovery is expect ed. It is thought that the murderous assault was due to the fact that Lewis is losing his mind and is the victim of illusions. It is said that some years ago he sustained injuries which a physician at the time pre dicted would finally result in the loss of his mind. Lewis claims that Byrnes insulted his wife. Byrnes ' i i i i t ! saJs 4 h helped carry Lewis home about four weeks ago but that he never insulted his wife in any way. Alaska Railway, Bill Passed. Washington Dispatch, 10th.

"" COinilllLLee last Hlgnt cuvoc ivareii ; as the place and June 17 as the time for holding the Democratic State convention, and elected Thomas D. Warren of Newbern, Craven county, as State chairman to succeed Chas. A. Webb, of Buncombe, resigned. Saturday, May 16, was chosen as the date torholding all precinct meetings or primary elections, and the following Saturday, May 23, was named as the time for holding of all of the Democratic county conven tions in the State. These are the two biggest items of importance that claimed the attention of the members of the committee at the meeting held in the Senate cham ber last night. The meeting was how ever, full of interest, in many other respects. The only matter that pro voked any lengthy discussion, was that of fixing the date for the pre cinct elections and the county conven tions, but this was finally settled upon as called for in the resolution that was introduced by Ed. S. Abell, of Johnson. In a few well-spoken words, Colonel P. M. Pearsall nominated Honorable mui Thomas D. Warren, of Craven, to suc- i man. and tha.t Webb. He said that Mr compromising crat, and would make an able and efficient chairman. Mr. John C. Drew. ry of Wake explained how he had sent mif lottorc trt tho nnmmittff iircincy the election of Mr. A. W. McLean, of j Lumberton. He said that all this was done without the knowlede-e of Mr. l,f T Don art A Vio cni4 that trc Rnha- son county attorney had stated that he did not want to stand in the way of any of his friends who might want the chairmanship. But that if the party wished him to have the position that he was willing to give his best seivites lu mc tauao ui icmuiiatj Mr. E. E. Britton read a telegram from Mr. McLean stating that he would not accept the chairmanship, and desired that his name not be plac ed before the convention. There was no other nominations, and Mr. Warren was unanimously chosen by vote of the committee. The New State Chairman. Thomas D. Warren, of Newbern, the new State chairman, was born in Edenton on January 12, 1872, and in 1895 took the LL.B. deegree at the University of North Carolina. Dur ing 1898 he was instructor in law at the University, later taught at -Hor- r-, 1 1 X - ' ners ocnooi xor a year, ana ior iwo years was principal at the graded schools at Newbern. rom this early training he has been an active and ardent supporter of the cause of education in the most progressive form. He is a member of the Board of Trustees of the State University and of the graded schools of New bern, the chairman of the Board" of Education of Craven county, active in the work. In his early years in the practice of law he located in Jones county at Trenton, the county seat, taking an active part in the upbuilding of the county. He represented the senato rial district of which Jones. county forms a part for 1901 and 1903, repre senting Jones in the House in 1905, his strong personality impressed it self upon his associates. In 1909 he removed to Newbern and in that city has not only been an active leader ii its commercial upbuilding, but active for the success of Democracy. He has an extensive practice in that dis trict and is now attorney. for 'the board of County Commissioners. Mr. Warren has a powerful mental grasp of men and measures. While progressive in all movements for the upbuilding of the State and the De mocracy, yet he has the reputation of being strong, safe and conservative in weigning an mailers emrusiea io t him. Bold and courageous in carry-1 ing out such ideas which he deems proper and expedient, vet he reaches his conclusions bv rapid mental de ductions. A moral, upright, true end j loyal man his friend hold. J.hat, he i will prove an ideal chairman for the Democracy in North Carolina, and that under his guidance party success j will continue with great majorities, j State Senator Walter M. Parsons of Rockingham was elected a mem- ber of the committee to succeed J. R. Blair, deceased, and D. G. Brammett of Oxford was elected to fill the va cancy made by the resignation of Judge W. A, Devin of Granville, who resigned on account of having been appointed to the Superior court bench by Governor Craig. Washington Cor., 10th, Charlotte Observer: H. B. Varner of Lexington , is sending out another series of "con fidential" letters. The first letter was a "feeler," but the second says "I ex pect to be a candidate for Congress! and want your support." One of the ' last series reached Washington today. This means that Mr. Page will have ; opposition, as Mr. Varner's letter, amounts to an announcement. , The Best Hot Weather Tonic.
