The convention was in session . a y little more than two hours and was . attended by a representative crowd of . Robeson county citizens. -Mr. S. B. McLeah, the retiring county chairman, called the convention to order promptly at noon and called , on Rev. Dr. H. G. HU1, the vener ; able pastor of the Presbyterian church at- Maxton to lead in prayer. Mr. ' Jas. D. Proctor of Lumberton was asked to act as secretary, Mr. J. Dix on McLean of Lumberton as assist ant, also members of the Democratic press of the county. Every township was represented except Pembroke. ' Shannon, formed from Red Springs and Lumber Bridge townships, and Gaddy's, from White House and Rowland,, were foryned since the last election, so the chair ap pointed committees to determine the votes to which they should be entitled in the convention, Messrs. Martin Mc .Kinnon, M. L. Marley and J. L. Wal ters to determine Shannon's; vote, Messrs. E. C. McNeill, C. A. Oliver and Worth Burns to determine Gad-' dy's vote. - These committees gave Shannon 1 vote and Gaddy 4, taken from the townships from which- they , were iormea, and the reports of the committees were adopted. : At this point Mr.. McLean invited lion. G. B. Patterson of Maxcoa to i he chair as temporary chairman and on motion the temporary organi zatior. was made permanent. It was determined that each town ship should elect two delegates for Ijeacn vote to whlch .lt is entitled in state and judicial conventions 21 in State and 102 in judicial f As stated above, resolutions were passed instructing delegates'to the ju dicial convention to cast the vote of the county for C.

A resolution asking for explanation of commission form of county govern ment, passed by the Alfordsville town ship precinct meeting on the 16th was read andVMaj. A. J. McKinnon' of Maxton, who has ben advocating this form of government through the press, was asked to explain. Ma j. McKin non introduced the following resolu tion, which was seconded by Mr. J. C, Stansel of Allenton: "Resolved 1st. That we think our county needs to adopt more economical and business like methods in the ad ministration of its affairs. "Resolved 2nd. That we hereby re commend and urge that our Senator and Representatives in coming Leg islature have enacted into law a well regulated commission and manager plan or government lor Kobeson coun ty." Maj. McKinnon, addressing him self to the motion, explained that the plan contemplated dividing the coun ty into districts not less than five the election irom each district of a commissioner, and this body of com missioners to elect a manager for the county, the manager to be responsible to the commissioners for the economi cal administration of the affairs of the county and to employ all help that he might need. By this plan, having a manager who should be responsible for all expenditures and results, Mr. McKinnon said he was confident a great saving could be made and the county would get a dollar's worth, of service out of every dollar raised by taxation, whereas now he is sure not more than 50 per cent of the tax mon ey is wisely spent. Messrs. Geo. B. McLeod and RrD. Caldwell made short talks in oppo si tion to the adoption of the resolution. They seemed to express the sentiment of the convention that it "would not ' be -wise at this time, with nothing more definite than that before the con vention, to pass a resolution giving 3 men, power to change the entire r tern of county government, and an amendment offered by Mr. Calduell, . that the resolution be referred to the county Democratic executive commit tee with instructions to report to the next county convention, was carried, and the resolution, as amended, was defeated . - No further bm'r.ess came before " the convention. .

Evident absence of tension marked the Mexican situation in Washington today. No foundation for alarmist rumors concerning the basis of me diation negotiations developed; there were no tangible developments in the matter of Constitutionalist representa tion and after a morning conference at the White House between the Pres ident and Secretary Bryan, those offi cials abandoned consideration of the Mexican problem for the day. The President and Mr. Bryan went over the entire situation, discussing particularly a long report from the American commissioners at Niagara Falls. No statement regarding de tails of the mediation was issued and it was made perfectly clear that none will be made so long as the negotia tions continue in their present status. There is reason to believe that re rponsible officials look upon the me diations as still in their preliminary stage- ,and think they are progressing smooth! v. Thev would he nleased were representatves of General Car ranza present at Niagara Falls to pass upon oenmte suggestions for a solu tion whon these are nreaontad hnt while regarding Constitutionalists re presentation as desirable do not con- J J li I i; t.
