Both A LIVELY REPUBLICAN CON VENTION HERE YESTERDAY. Til E Re Conventio publican Congressional iiere yesterday. The complexion was decidedly dark, there being only a few white men in it. It was a lively body and at the time we went to press they wcro still in session and there seemed to bono chance to make a nomination before midnight. The race is between White and Cheatham, with Martin, of Edgecombe, a good third. There were contests from several counties and at this hour of going to press the committee cn credentials arc laboring hard to decide as to the delegates entitled to soats. The warriors had war paint on last night when our report closed and if there was not a regular kuoek duwuand dragout, then a great change must have taken place. Many of the delegates were noisy and everybody wanted to bo heard at the same time. The chairman did his best to rap them to order, but lirtd by zeal for their favorites, and a little bad liquor thrown iu, they paid not the slight est attention to his loud calls for order, They did not appear to have met for that purpose. 1 he indications now point to a split in the convention, and in all prob ability there wero two candidates nomi nated last night. fHE ROANOKE NEWS. THURSDAY, Jl'NE 28,1891. aaoI Intn LITTLETON'S ATTRACTIONS A FEW ITEMS 01' INTEREST CONCERN ING TUIS FAMOUS HUM M Ell RESORT. Littleton is one of the most pleasantly situated towns in Eastern Carolina. It is high, free from malaria and umsqui toos and its sparkling mineral waters give health and happiness to all who partako of them. While there last week wo wero the guest of Mr. J. L. Shaw, the owner of Shaw's Healing Springs, and proprietor of the Spring l'ark hotel. ' Mr. SIuiw'b hotel is crowded with summer boarders and his table is loaded with all tho deli cacies of the season. It is a comfortable, home like place and we arc glad to note his success. The other hotels and board ing houses are likewiso filling up with people who go to Littleton annually in search of health aud happiness. Wo also visited the celebrated Pana cea Springs, and for a very delightful drive are indebted to Captain J, P. Leach, whose largeness of heart and splendid social qualities stamp hitn a gen tleman of the old school. After partak- I'reely of the life giving Panacea water wo viewed tho new pavillion, just completed, and overlooking tho beautiful ake. The scenery around is niaguificenl and most picturesque, Dr. Harris in formed us that ho would also erect at onco a ten pin alley. Nothing affords more pleasure to the young people than rolling ten pins. Last Thursday night tho young pco- plo enjoyed the first daneo over giv en a t the new pavillion. Owing to a thunder storm which come up during the afternoon the attendance was small. Those who did attend, however, thor oughly enjoyed the evening. Tho music was by Singleton's band, of this place, and very good. Dancing at Pauacea is certainly a new departure. Good old Mr. Thomas W. IlarrU, during hii life, would never allow anything approaching the Terpsiehorean art, not even the play stealing partners," but uow that the gotid old man has gone to his eternal line, where doubtless he basks in the ptesence of the angels of Heaven, the younger generation see only innocent pleasure, where he saw harm, hence the inauguration of a new order of things. Passing along the road leading back from Panacea to Littleton, Captain Leach pointed out to us the thrifty farms along the route, most of which are in a high state of cultivation. The crops in thai entire section are good and should no dis aster occur during the coining mouths the far.nors of the Littletoi sectio.i will reap a rich harvest. While at Littleton we were also therccipi entof courtesies extended by Mm. White, who drove us out to Sliaws Springs, a dis tance of about one half mile. These springs are famous for the healing qualities of the water. The picturesque spot, and near ness to the depot, makes a most desirable place for picnics, excursion parties, etc. At Littleton wo had tho pleasure ol meeting Rev, A, G. Willcox, of Brink- leyvillc, Rev. G. W. Hariuan and daugh ters of this place, Rev. Mr. Fant and others. JUKI Cotton blooms. Bt.ACKUERRIES. Cotton is jumping. Collars are wilting. Sun umbrellas are up. The last week in June, Blackberry pies are popular. Did you attend the convention? Suniiiirn lotions are in demand. Straw hats are exceedingly plain. The crops aro ull clean and promising. Wei. HON was a lively place yesterday. Now the question is, who will bo elec ted. DAlliu.imi io polities is warm work these days. Ihihii potatoes are very largo and fine this season. The pctiky fly is beginning to show great activity. "Corn on the cob" is a welcome addi tion to the menu, Now for an exodus to tho sea shore and tho mountains, The milk shake and soda water coun ters are liberally patronized. "All run down," from weakening effects of the warm weather, you need a good tonic and blood purifier liko Hood's Sarsaparilla. Try it. New FastSuiikuule. Commencing last Sunday the Seaboard Air Line put in service their new fast schedule between New York and New Orleans, with solid Pullman vestibule train from Washington to Atlanta, The south bound special now arrives hero at 2:118 A. M. and the northbound at 4:05 A: M. The road has also put into effect its Sunday trains which arrive here going South at 1 1:45 A, M. and 3:10 P. M. northbound, A Coon Citizen Killed. Mr. B. 1). Dray, a prominent citizen of Scotland Neck was kicked by a pony Fiiday and died Saturday night iu great agony, The deceased was about 58 years of age and was one of the best citizens of that section. Ho was a successful farm er, aud a few months ago when the coun ty commissioners appointed tax collectors Mr, Gray was appointed for his township, lie was a consistent member of tho Bap tist church and was a man of spotlcsB character aud was highly esteemed by every one who knew him. Ho leaves a largo family to whom wo extend our sh eerest sympathies. Halifax vs. Franklins. The Halifax base ball team met the Franklins on the grounds of the latter at Franklin, Va., in two closely contested games, Monday and Tuesday. Tho games re suited as follows in favor of Franklin: 5 to 8, and 5 to G. the men were unmarried and lived their father. of with THE LADIES. The pleasant effect and perfect safety with which ladies may use the California liquid laxative, Syrup of Figs, under all - conditions, make it their fa vol ite remedy To get the true and genuine article, look for the Dame of the California Fig Syrup Co, printed near the bottom of the paok- ge. A Collision. Number 35 fust mail and passenger train ran into a box car near the car shed Tuesday night. The cab of the engine, J, O'lliien engineer, was torn away and two heavy pieces of lumber were driven unto tho mail car doing considerable damage. Tho mail agent made a narrow escape from instant death. One end of the box ear was demolished. Fortunately no one was injured. The collision was caused by tho box car having been left too near the track on which the fast traiu was coming in on. There was criminal negligence on tho part of some one, but it is not stated who is responsible. Mission at Rinowooh. Rev. Chos. Li Hot man, ot larboro, will begin a mission at Ringwood next Monday July 2nd, aud will continue the services during the week. Very many of our readers will remem ber the excellent sermons ho preached in a recent mission at this place. He is an able aud most eloquent preacher, and every one in the Ringwood section, who possibly can do so, should attend the services. Rev. Mr. Morton Injured. Rev W. B. Morton, formerly pastor of the Baptist church here, was knocked down aud painfully injured while at tho Louis burg jail for tho purpose of conducting religious services for the prisoners, last Monday. Mr. Morton bad been in the habit of visiting the jail to held services with Tom and Calvin Coley, and a negro named Perry, under sentence of death. On entering tho jail Monday the prisoners grabbed tho jailer pushed him behind the bars aud lucked him up. Mr. Mor ton was grappling with one of the Coleys, when the negro struck him down with an iron bar. The piisoners then all es caped. The prisoners have been recap tured and returned to jail. Mr. Morton was painfully but not seriously injured, The S. A. L's. New Departure. The great Seaboard Air Line, by its ad vertising agent, Mr. Sain. W. Bowman, has commence! the issue of a monthly publication entitled "The Vestibule," Containing a complete novel every month. This is indeed a uew departure in railroad advertising, and oue that should bo ap preciated by every traveller. The coun try has been surfeited with advertising matter by trausportation companies con taining deseriptious uf various places, an! resorts along their respective lines, hence this new book, "The Vestibule," with a complete story in every issue by well known authors and distributed gra tuitously by the passenger agents of the system, will no doubt meet with popular f iver. Garysdurci vs. Suffolk. At Suf folk last Thursday the Garysburg team met the Suffolks on the diamond and de feated them by a score of 10 to 7. Jones occupied the box for the Tar Heels while Hearn and Hargrove twirled the sphere for the F. F. Vs. At the start it looked very gloomy for tho visitors, for in the very first inning Jones was lilted over tho fence for two homo runs, Nothing daunted, however, in a manner peculiar only to Charlie Jones, ho pulled himself together and held the Suffolks down afterwards to a few scattering hits. One feature of the game was the batting of Hargrove, who, out of five times at the bat, knocked the horsebido thrco times over tho fence. Johnson for the Garysburgs carried off the fielding honors by making a beautilul running catch, with two men ou bases. Garysburg has a fine team this season and a strong battery. Wo predict for some of our neighbors a hard time when they meet the boys from "just across the river." Let us now have some games here. and we promise to make the very best re ports possible of tho results, giving in de tail all the features of the games. $100. REWARD. $100.

Bryan, died at the Southern Hotel at Halifax, last Friday after a few days illness; aged 19 years. The deceased was a young lady of a lovely, sunny disposition, was a devoted daughter and, tho best of all, she was Christian. Iltr untimely death was a great shock to her family and friends, but she seemed to realise from the first days of her Illness that the shores of lime were fast rocecding from sight, and that she was passing into a newer and a happier existence. The funeral services took place Saturday morning and her body was laid to rest by sorrowing friends in the family squaro of tho oemetery at Enfield, We extend to the bereaved ones our siocorest sympathy in this sad affliction. Sunday School Convention.

A noticeable feature was the lack of a single white Republican delegate, The colored people solved tho negro problem by drawing the color lino. Mack Furgerson, by virtue of his office as chairman of Republican County Execu live Committee, was the only white mem, ber of the convention. Tboro were contests from nearly overy township in the county and at times pan demonium reigned supreme. Every del, cgate would bo in his lect at the same tim ; and the chairman was powerless in the hands of such a mob. At times looked as if a regular knock down and drag out would oueur. The delegates were satisfied, however, to shake their Gsts. flourish sticks nnd exercise their lung powers without resorting to pugilism. I this they were wise and are to bo com mended. While the eommittce on credentials were laboring to deeido between contest ins; delegations Hon. C. A. Cook, of Warrenton, who is a candidate for solic itor, was called for and responded in speech of some length in which he di nounced tho Democratic machine uieth ods of carrying elections in counties over whelmingly Republican. He favored tusion with tbe Third party and was willing to divide the State, Congressional, Legislative and county tickets. lie said the Republicans and Populists could then elect two United States Senators, one of eaoli party. When the committee on credentials reported Cheatham had a majority of the delegates present'. This was not satisfac tory to the White faction, hence two sets of delegates were sent up to the Con gressional convention held here yesterday." The Fihm' (uttn lii.oo.u. Ou the 22nd in.'t , lb my T Pope, one of our enterprising iw lehuots and farmers, had the proud Kilisfaclion of gathering from his field a cotton bloom, which if not the earliest on record, is decidedly the earliest to appear in this section for many years. The field was planted on March 2!rJ, and was more than once covered with snow and ice, with (ho ground several times l'rtzen. Notwithstanding the predic tions of prophets as to the failure of the seed to germinate, he waited in silent confidence to bo rewarded later ut the first warm breath of spring with a beauti ful and systematic stand. The laud was well prepared and fertilized, and judicious labor and cultivation has done the rest. The plants uow stand evenly over the field 18 inches high and if enconntenn no enemy or accident later on, to yield an abundant crop, as it is heavily fruited. The old people, years ago, planted iu March, most always, sometimes during the snow, and generally secured good stands. Why not do so now and give the plant more lime to fruit and develop. The sooner the plants begin to spread aud branch, the greater will be the yield. We now advocate the earlier planting system, as the above experiment convinces us that it can be accompanied with good rosultB. Prepare well, fcrlilizo heavily, plant curly, cultivate properly, and you will reap a lieh return, provided your cotton sells for anything. We have also received from Mr. J. II, Iliggs a cotton bloom which be informs us bloomed on the 22nd in one of hii :lds, and he says his crop is very fine. Mr. John R. Pettitt, as he has done for u number of years, sends us the first bloom from the Enfield section, and writes that ho lad cotton blooms on the 3rd, Mr. Pettitt is ono of the best farmers iu the county and never fails to ruiso good crops. He even raised a fair crop in 1889, when there was general failure and disaster throughout the eoun- try. The Duck Pond Drained. This favorite resort of tho Weldon Anguliars has at last been drained, and the job nc eepted by tho committee of doubling Thomases, who predicted, "Yrou will never do it." For years to come the devotees of the gentle art must cast their nes in other waters. Only in reverie can they now be consoled. There were many amusing and ludi crous features to occur during the pro cess of emptying this great basin of water, but tho waters so long imprisoned arc uow gliding merrily to the sea, and the pond exists only in memory. Among some ot the amusing things, were the numerous and varied questions asked about the progress of the work, and how many fish would be caught. We venture tho assertion that durin the last ten days more thau ten thousand quesiions have been asked and answered in this connection. Quesiions of all Bizes, lengths and makes, foolish and porplexin were constantly being plied. 1 he same man would draw his same list of qu tions tweiity-five times daily. All seemed to enjoy the infection alike men, wo men and children. The grave and silent Base Bali, To-Day, Garysburg and Franklin will cross bats on the dia mond here to-day. No one shcfuld miss this game. The clubs aro evenly match ed and the game promises to be close and exciting from start to finish. Jones will twirl the sphere for the Tar Heels while Kimball will hold him down behind the bat. The boys from Virginia will also have a line battery. Tbe game will e called promptly at 4.30, Let all the la dies attend and encourage the home team with their approving smiles. Lively Runaway.
