Greensboro. N.rC. July 10 The Re
publican office-holders convention met
here today. It was slim aa far as at
tendance goes, because fow , negroes
were allowed to come on account of
the expected presence of a couple1 or
Cabinet officers sent down by Roose
velt to see which one would fit for
President . and incidentally to- kill
both. Hoot, the other great man,' has
been sent out ' to be President otifceep on; fighting your battles just a
Peru, ' Longworth is to be Emperor or
Germany and of course Napoleon is
to go back to J? ranee. .
- - .Yet there .was a riffht smart sprink
ling of "the pie-eaters present, some of
. the most' noticeable' being Rollins with
the Prltchard ' , family of 1 ple-fdiks;
Hash Harktnsr Capt, 5 Bailey, ' Senator
Butler," 8am ael8,wDunctrn J' with Fm
peror; Claudius; Abe Swat f Duplin;
that grand old Republican . Keith. 4 of
Wilmington; : Patrick, t Camerori, 'et
rest of 'the Duncan political family;
with 0B.' i "Robinson . recently
come back to faith, all the' party from
Pasquotank: Sutton, of P.laden.1 and

C. I. Harris, Massey from Rhamkatte:

Young and Slocumb and Dancy. . ,
The convention was promptly 'called
to " order- by Spencer-: Adams In -a
mighty few. words., and he railed to
the - front - -:as --temporary ' ' chairman
Zebulon Vance Walser. who lost no
time in returning thanks, closing by
asking i Prof. Fraxler to pray for the
assembly, which was deciphered to .bo
in these terms. , . . .... .
Prayer by Fraxler.
"Fat her -ours we may change, such
Is human, but! time goes on as of yore.
We meet to resolve and to pretend yet
withal-we beseech Thee to. relent and
let us curb our discontent at our aw
ful situation.: It is necessary we think
that we show to the outsiders evil that
good may come to them. Great God.
1 beseech Thee, to cause the bijr men

Senate w ho - have : steamed Theodore
I. . not. to' condescend to bllo a little
postmastership at a junction properly
called Greensboro, where the chief oc
cupation ; of the people is to come to
the depot to see the trains pass. Brevi
ty, Great God, Is my forte except In
welcome sneeches." -
Mr. Walser then announced the
usual committees putting .no colored
- person, except in an advisory capacity,
like a territorial delegate to (Congress,
and further proposed that the con
vention could be entertained for a few
hours by speeches from some ! of the
biggest men in the world. Apropos.
. Senator Butler was walking up the
aisle and-amid great thundering- he
ascended the platform took a step or
two towards Skinner and said:
"I am the brains and money of the
Republican party, - and the Industrial
News of North Carolina.-- Me and
Bob - McNeill run , ant office '. business
In ' Washington city, but Tom Rollins
and Carl got the best of it. We-give
out jobs: We want money, subscrip
tions and stock for the Industrial part
of the News, oil gushers, gold mines
'and other v things, but I pull the
" strings and the boys' dance, even If
they would not let me come here as
a delegate from Sampson county.

I am from Sampson county. I
' have' been : In Congress. 1 have help
ed your cause by Joining it. . I have
renegaded. I have had some taste of
pie. I want more pie. If I get no
more I will go square back to where
I belong regardless of Mary Ann But-
' It is a srrocery: wrong to deny the pub
lic the 'right coffee at the right price.
' Tell your grocer plainly that yiu must
have ArbucklesARIOSA Coffee, and if
he offers you a substitute, or tries to sell
i you bis loose scoop coffee, send directly
to us. We tell you right here, in unmis-
xtakable terms,' that we buy and sell more
coffee than any four other concerns in
the world combined, that we drink
ARIOSA Coffee ourselves, with the best
coffee in the world to choose from, and
x that ARIOSA - Coffee is the ? greatest
coffee value in the world for the money.
Isn't that straight talk? Another
thing . ,
We are the samorold firm, not a c.'-
poration or stock company, but the same
old firm that introduced ARIOSA
Coffeei thirty-seven years ago; and the
' - sales of ARIOSA have grown to exceed
those of all the other packaged coffees in
the UnitedJStates combined, just because
lit is better coffee for the -money than
t nybody else- can sell. " The'" flavor and
7h0les0mencss ; cannqt bo matched in
tny other coffee, nor be bought under
another name, or loose out of a bag, bin
. vor tin ! , ,.
v Do not let yourself be deceived by any
v imitation, but demand tfie genuine, which
is sold only in one-pound " packages,
sealed, to prevent your being deceived

-Just as Fowler got through the
Messrs. Douglas . pere et Ills came In
and looked as If t,hey would pray for
the thing or get 1 -off 'some joetry.
Some one. however, suggested that
they looked as If they had lost a post
office or something equally as1 good.
They felt it, bowed to Duncan, and
eat down.
. Then the -: chairman read a cable
from Rlchmend Pearson at T. He.
Ran. saying that unique owner of co
operation aa he had been, and that
however much he would enjoy the
congeniality of . their radical souls, he
preferred; the companionship' of the
Shah, tA
i He quoted the Shah as saying, and
suggested that Douglas of ther Indus
trial paper publish; the gay gag:
There was a bloody Sparrow
Went up a bloody spout;
There came a bloody tain
Which washed the(bloody bugger out."
That he could play chess with the
Shah squatted on I a rug better than
by cable with al common English
member j of -Parliament.
Budger KI also wrote a letter say
ing honestly .how glad he was In the
musquito territory- ; lately Roosevelt-:
ized, and that he was not coming back'
to Buncombe as long as Prltchard
had any more relatives to stick on the
pie rack.'
-CO. Bailey, of Yadkin county, the
treasurer, being called for Bald: "Why
boys I cannot make a speech and you
all know it "as weir as some of those
outside" there, but a ll tell you I will
long as you - say so, and be satisfied
with whatever empties Duncan and
the crab catchers down east can con
sistently i consent to send me."
