Tnxi:, Aug. 21, (5:10 A. M.) Af
ter a tempestuous session lasting all
night and during which upwards of
200 ballots were taken, the conven
tion is still without a nomination
and it is impossible to forecast the
result. On the latest ballot Bel
lamy received 120, Patterson 90,
Brown 108, and Hale one. The
field is against Bellamy and he is
being fought to a finish. Delegates
are worn out at this hour and busi

The convention was opened with
prayer, led by the Rer. P. B, Law, of
Lumber Bridge. This concluded, Mr.
Lyon presented Mr. J. B. Underwood,
Jr., to the convention, who represent
ing the city, delivered the address of
welcome, which was as follows:
"Mr. Chairman and arentlemen of
the convention: The agreeable duty
has been assigned me by the Mayor
of the city to welcome you to our
home and all hospitalities which the
occasion demands and habits and tra
ditions inculcate. A political conven
tion does not afford the best of oppor
tunity for the exercises of the grace
and virtue suggested, but the determi
nation which 1 know to be that of our
host to render your stay with us agree
able as possible, will,' I am, sure, find
fulfilment in our acts. Gentlemen
of Bladen, Brunswick, 'Columbus,
Harnett, New Hanover and Bobeson,
representing noble constltuents,in the
name of Fayetteville and Cumber
land, I welcome you."
The appointment of committees be
ing in order on a call of counties, the
following were named :
Credential Committee Jno. S. Wil
liams, F. M. Moore, B. F. Aycock,
Jas. D. McNeill, A. C. HolloweU,
Junius Davis, Jno. H. Cook.
On Permanent Organization EL F.
McCullock, J. H. Mints, H. L. Lyon,
EL R. Horne, E. F. Young, Frank H.
Stedman, L. B. Hamer.
On Platform and Resolutions J. D.
Gilliam, Wm. Weeks, D. S. Cowan,
Dr. H. W. Lilly, M. F. Hatcher, Wal
ker Taylor, T. W. Watson.
These several committees retired at
8:30 P. M. to prepare their reports. In
the call of counties jrhen the county
of Robeson was reached, it being dis
covered that the county delegation
had not perfected organisation, the
onrention by rote ordered the dele
gation to retire and organize by the
election of a chairman. On the re
turn of the delegation the chair recog
nized Mr. Stephen Mclntyre as the
duly elected chairman, who named the
committeemen for Robeson county.
While the delegation was out, the
conrention, anticipating scenes in the
progress of the session that storm
clouds foretold, in its wisdom named
Eugene Watson as sergeant-ar-arms
of the body, giving him several assist
ants. At 4 P. M. a committee composed of
Dan Hugh McLean, H. B. Short and
Neill Archie McLean was appointed to
wait on the Committee on Credentials
and request that the committee come
before the conrention with its report
or its troubles. The special committee
soon returned and presented B. F.
Aycock, who acting for the Credential
Committee, stated that the committee
wished to be obedient to the demands
of the conrention, but that It would
take an hour and a half to conclude
their labors. On this information the
conrention took a recess to 7:30
o'clock.
Opeoinf of the Nffht Session.
Upon the reassembling of the con
vention Mr. Junius Davis of the Cre
dential Committee presented, a ma
jority report giving to Bellamy 131
votes, his contention as his due from
Cumberland county. Mr. James D.
McNeill also of the committee pre
sented a minority report which denied
to Mr. Bellamy his contention. Mr.
Davis made a stirring speech in sup
port of the adoption of the majority
report holding that it would be a dan
gerous precedent for Democracy to ear
establish a denial of the right of the
minority to an expression of its Indi
vidual aentiment. He was followed
by Mr. McNeill in support of the mi
nority report The speech of Mr. Mc
Neill was a plain presentation and a
characteristic James D. McNeill speech.
Mr. Marsden Bellamy followed in sup
port of the majority report and in turn
was followed by Mr. B. F. Aycock,
late of Wayne now of Columbus, in
support of the minority, who In con
clusion moved the adoption of the mi
nority report, which , denies to Mr.
Bellamy the 131 votes, his contention
his due. from Cumberland county.
Proceeding with the rote, when the
MnnW of Cumberland was reacnea
Mr. Geo. L. Morton challenged the
vote of Cumberland. The chair de
clared Ma, Morto n out of order and the
call of counties wis . proceeded with
m th ntA of Robeson was announced,
when Hale broke loose In Fayetterille,
and many Bellamyites in the Bobeson
delegation, on their feet, : clamored for
a representation on the rote of Robe
son. Quiet having been restored Mr.
Frank 8tedman challenged the right of
Robeson to vote as a unit unti
the Credential . Committee had
passed on the Bobeson county conten
tion. Several of the Robeson delegation
arose and contended for the right of in
dividual expression of sentiment.
- The vote stood for adoption of the mi
nority report: Columbus, 44; Cumber
land, 54; Harnett, 13; Bladen, 11 49-70;
Robeson, 83. Total, 303 49-70. Against
adoption, Brunswick, 18; Harnett, 18;
Bladen, 30 39-70. New Hanover, 59.
Total, 115 31-70.
The Committee on Permanent Or
ganization submitted majority and mi
nority reports, respectively, naming
H. L. Godwin, of Harnett, and J. H.
M yrover, of Cumberland, for perma
nent chairman. On a call of counties,
Mr. Myrorer receired 300 rotes and
Mr. Godwin 119 rotes. Mr. Myrorer
was declared elected and on being
escorted to the chair made a ringing
speech. A. P. McAllister, of Robeson,
and M. O. Guthrie, of Brunswick, were
elected permanent secretaries.
The Committee on Platform submit
ted the first unanimous report of the
conrention. It was adopted by accla-
tion.
The Caidldates Nominated.
The chairman having declared nom
inations in order, a motion prevailed
that the call of counties be made al
phabetically. Dr. W. H. G. Lucas,
of Bladen, nominated Joseph Brown,
of Columbus. When Cumberland was
called, Mr. J. H. Myrover, having
called Stephen Mclntyre, of Robeson,
to the chair, placed the name of Major
Edward J. Hale, of Cumberland, in
nomination.
Hon. Dan Hugh McLean, of Har
nett, placed in nomination the name
of Hon. John D. Bellamy, of New
Hanover county, the present very
able member of Congress from the
Sixth district.
Mr. McLean's closing words in pre
senting the name of Bellamy was a
fitting climax.
At the conclusion of the speech, of
the Hon. Dan Hugh McLean, Stephen
Mclntyre, Esq., of Robeson, present
ed the name of Gilbert B. Patterson,
Esq., of Robeson.
This concluded the call of counties,
and closed the nominations unless
perchance conditions should prevent
by the nominating of a dark horse.
At this moment no mortal man can
forecast the result of the ballots to fol
low. The friends of Bellamy are very
confident, even with the field against
him, and takers have been found who
would risk their ducats that Bellamy
will not carry off the honors of the
convention.
B. F. Aycock seconded the nomina
tion of J. A. Brown, R. A. McCul
lock, of Bladen, and that oL John D.
Bellamy, by E. 8. Smith, of Harnett;.
McKay McMlnnon, of Robeson, Thos.
Whitted. of Bladen, and Jas. W. At
kinson, of Cumberland, that of E. J.
Hale.

change brewing. - Short, of Colum
bus; McNeil), of Cumberland, and
Mclntyre, of Robeson, have been cau
cusing. Bellamy's friends are, as
seen from reporter's desk, as firm and
confident as when the balloting began.
Should Patterson withdraw, Bel
lamy would soon be nominated.
Should Columbus and Cumberland
candidates throw their votes (but this
seems impossible) to Patterson, his
nomination would occur on that bal
lot Friends of Mr. Bellamy hold that
should Hale and Brown withdraw, he
would get a liberal vote from Colum-.
bus and 35 per cent, of the Cumber
land rote.
The News at 4 O'clock This Morning.
.'At 3:10 A. M., 130 ballots hare been
cast. On the 135th ballot Bellamy
reached 130 rotes, the highest yet
reached by him. He has led the con
rention on erery ballot.
The conrention hall has thinned out
to possibly a hundred in attendance.
Here and there delegates are lost in
dreamland, many are keeping their
eyes open by crawing peanuts into
their stomachs. There is constant cau
cusing on the part of the delega
tions composing the combine, but the
weaker candidate saems as determined
as the stronger candidate of the com
bination. Patterson appears in the
race as the friend. It ia evident that
Hale or Brown must withdraw, else a
prolonged deadlock will be the record
of the early morning hours.
The 145 ballot was as follows: Bel

Fayktteyille, N. C, Aug. 30,-
3:15 P. M. The Sixth Congressional
Convention convened at 3:05 P. M.
At 3:30 P. M. when Robeson was
reached in the call of counties to name
committeemen, a storm broke loose
in the Robeson camp as to whether
the delegation had organized. On
motion, the convention ordered the
delegation to retire and . perfect an or
ganization and report to the conven
tion. A part of the delegation wish to
east their rote for Bellamy, which de
sire precipitated the trouble, the ma
jority claiming the county was bound
by Instructions. The delegation hare
been out thirty minutes. The con
rention anticipating "a breezy time,
has just named Eugene Watson ser-geant-at-arms,
giving him several
assistants. The convention cannot
permanently organize till Robeson re
turns. 4 P. M. The Bobeson delegation
has returned and the chair recognizes
Stephen Mclntyre, Esq., as chairman
of the delegation, who reports com-,
mittees. The various committeemen
retired and the conrention awaits re
ports. When balloting begins, Robe
son will be heard from again, as the
minority will ask to express their sen
timentsr 6 P. M. The conrention after a re
cess of an hour has reassembled and
on motion appoints a committee of
three to wait on the Committee on
Credentials and demand' that they
make report or come into conrention
and permit the conrention to adjust
any differences. The differences are
the settlement of minority representa
tion. Much hangs on the settlement
of this question and especially for
Bellamy, who is confronted with a
combine.
6:10 P. M. Committee on Creden
tials through B. F. Aycock, reports
that an hour and a half will be neces
sary to settle the problem before them
and on motion, a recess is taken to
7:30 P. M."

POPULAR BEACH VISITORS
WEDDED AT THE 0RT0N.
Miss Pearl Salllvas, of Statesville, Be-
came the Bride of Mr. Holbrook, of
WlBstoB, Yesterday Evening.
A marriage which was not without
an element of romance was solemnized
last evening at 6 o'clock in the par
lors of The Orton. The parties to the
marriage row were Miss Pearl Sulli
ran, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James
O. Sullivan, of Statesville, and Mr.
Ralph Tyra Holbrook, a prominent
business man of Winston.
The young people were members of
a party who came. down this week for
a sojourn at the beach. They were
.engaged to be married in October, but
since coming down to the seashore
they decided the match had as well be

SUICIDE UP YOUNG MR. BUKRIS.
He Was Heart-Broken Because of Death
of His Little Dsoghter.
Regarding the account in yesterday's
Stab of the suicide of young Mr.
Owen C. Burris, of this city, his fath
er Mr. Sylvester Burrie, writes the Stab
that his son had not been out of work
nor had he been drinking for ' three
weeks. He has been married five
years and was just 36 years of age.
His health and mind had been giving
away since two years ago when he
lost his little girl baby, to whom he
was especially devoted. He had said
since that time that he intended taking
his life. Last Sunday he spent all day
at the grave of the little one, whom he
loved so dearly.
The death of young Mr. Burris,
under these sad circumstances, is in
deed pathetic and the Stab regrets
very much that the error should have
occurred in its report of the sad affair.
Mr. Burris was a quiet young man
and very highly esteemed by all who
knew him. The Stab makes .these
corrections with pleasure in justice to
the sorely bereaved family and espec
ially to Mr. Sylvester Burris, the
heart-broken father.

Vance's regiment, the Twenty-sixth
North Caroline. He is survived by
his wife and two children, Miss Mary
Gaither, of Charlotte, and Mr. E. W.
Gaither, who has been a student of the
A. and M. College. Dr. Gaither was
about 70 y eras of age. He was a na
tive of Caldwell county. The funeral
was held at Shallotte. -
