It is generally sup- posed that because of the longdis-' . ta nee' from North Carolina, to Denver, -few people from North Carolina will - attend the Democratic National Con " vention. It turns out, however, that more are going than usual, in view. of the fact' that it is believed thiit Bryan will be elected and there is a strong desire on the part of many of ( his rsreat admirers to see him nominated.

These are some of the iues- tions asked in the lobbies where the gubernatorial contest ;ls talked to the exclusion of everything else. 'j Tlie llortie Claim.. Mr. R. N. Sims and Mr. Walter Clark.

The reason why Lydia E. rink sham's Vegetable Compound Is so .successful is'ljecause it contains in gredientsi which act directly; upon the feminine organism, restoring it to a healthy normal condition. I "Women who -are suffering from those distressing ills peculiar to their sex should not lose siffht of these facts or doubt the ability of Lydia E. Iikliam's Vegetable Compound to restore their health. . may be caused by reason of the fact that here In Mecklenburg there are more Home supporters , than support ers of any othjpr candidate fcr gover nor. They, do not expect Home's nomination on the first ballot, but they think the logic of the situation points to their fhan. Here Is the way they look at it: "Home goes into the convention with one hundred and , fifty votes and he holds the balance; of power. No man can be nominated without ' the votes of some of Mr. Home's delegation. They have no second choice and con tend that the good of the State and of the party demand the nomination of their candidate. They are men of honor and we have not the slightest doubt that they will stick to Mr. liorne until the nomination is made, nnd If they do this the nominee wilt he Ash ley Jlorne. We an betraying no se cret when we. say that Mr. Home is the secbhd choice of : nearly till of the KUchln delegates and nearly alt of the Craig delegates. "We feel that the friends of .these two gentlemen, after doing all they can for their friend and seeing the hopelessness of nominating him, will- go jto Mr. Home." We do not see how they k-an possibly go from Craig to Kitchin or from Kit chin to Craig, and thej tell us they will not. ) : ,. .:. '. ' . : "The logic of the situation as well as party necessity points,lln our opin ion, inevitUbly to the nomination of Mr. Home, j That he;is"-worthy of the nomination we think the whole State how knows. j.As a candidate he would have nothing to explain and nothing to defend. He would stand upon the Democratic platform as it is con structed and his- personality would be a source of .strength in the party." . Is Tlieroi a Dark Horse? " : The accepted fact that no candidate has enoughvotes to secure the nom' nanqn. naiuraiiv ieaas to talk or ;a dark hrse. Therte are those here who freely predict that after a vain, strug gle the convention will be wearied and will turn to a-dark horn and that neither Craig, Home or Kitchin will be nominated. These are very much in the iminority; for most folks here say that North Carolina believes that one of 'the nien who have made the fight ought to land the prize. While a dark horse is Improbable, It is not impossible. Congressman Hackett and Editor Deal. -of Wilkesboro. are outspoken In advocacy of not, naming eiy.ner or me canamaies ana declare mat tne wisest thing to do is to nomi nate Hon. Rufus A. Doughton. of Alle ghany. He har been Speaker . of the House and Lieutenant Governor. Other J daFk horses talked about are Capt --T. vv. iiason. or Northampton; Mr. C. w. Tillett, of Charlotte? or Gov. W. D. Turner, of -Iredell; H"n. John D. Bel lamy. iof Ney Hanove., Hon. Chas. M. when the big crowd comes there may be other delegates' with dark horse booms concealed on their persons. But if .you mention dark, horse to Kerr, Manning or Clark,- they, assume a knowing air and act as if they thought you had Just arrlvedi-from TImbuctoo and couldn't speak the English lan guage.. " : :' T . ' who wiLii nn permanent 1 CHAimfAN? It having been decided that the convention will start oft well with ah opening prayer by the venerable -(he looks to6 young to have been here a a delegate In 1858) -Elder P. D. Gold, of Wilson, and' a brief address bv State Chairman Hugh Chatham and an old time statesmanlike speech by the grand, old man," ex-Governor jarvis, it Is certain there will be a good beginning. Then will come the tug of war. , , Who will be Permanent Chairman? That is all up in the air. It was stated this morning that Governor Glenn who has taken' no part In the fight. had been requested by the managers ror craig, Kitchin and Home to act as Permanent Chairman. The report went mat the Governor had said upon inquiry that if all the candidate would ask him to serve he would not feel at liberty to decline; otherwise his name must not be considered. It seems now that the three candidates have not agreed upon any one and It may be that the first fight will be one to con trol the Committee on Permanent Or ganization. They; may present two candidates and there may be a "line up" on that preliminary matter. Of course neither Kitchin nor Craig can win without Harne's agreement, and both sides . are courting the Home men. Though there may he a show down on the Permanent Organization, that is doubtful, for all sides wish to get to voting as early as possible an 1 that might delay a vote very long. There are not but three or four promi nent Democrats In the State who have not taken sides in the gubernatorial fight, and If a Permanent Chairman is limited to "one who supports neither Candidate very few- men are- eligible. Fight on Credentials, jThere is a rumor that there may be a Shot! fight in the Credentials commit tee on the vote of three or four coun ties! The only contest announced to day Is one, from Brunswick. There the Home men have the credentials. The Kitchin and Craig men claim that they were shut out, that boys and Kepublicaps were allowed to vote, and that even ithen theyi were denied their proper minority representation ac cording to the plan of organization. Leaders are making efforts to arrange to adjust-any differences and keep off these fights. They are very few and not many votes are involved. As to Other: Offices. Nobody except the candidates an! their special friends r-wtll talk of anything except the fight for Gover nor. There will be no knowing who wmgetThe other places until the Governor is named. '- a Delegates to Denver. --.v i Tt Is conceded that Governor Glenn will be elected delegate to the Na tional Convention at Denver. He wilt second Hryan's nomination. MaJ. E.' J. , Hale is strongly favored as a delegate. There are those who believe North Carolina ought to send both Senators and, State Chairman Chatham. But. just like other offices, little is said ex- cept as to the gubernatorial fight. A DAD CUT. Painful Mr. E, II. Uarbec4 Receives Wound. -, v ' Mr. Ed. B. Darbee received a dan gerous and' extremely painful cut on his hand yesterday afternoon" about 4:30 o'clock in his office on Wilming ton street. Mr. Barbee was moving his electric fan, when in some unexplain able way, his hand was caught by the blades of the fan and a, long, deep gash was made, causing a great loss of blood before? medical aid could be rendered. ; Dr. Barefoot, who attended Mr. Barbee, found the wound to be on the back of his hand, cutting the arteries. The wound required four stitches. Mr. Barbee's many friends hope for Mm a speedy recovery. A Son Ikrn to. Queen Victoria!'

I was born a slave, j In the Southern part of the United States there are more than eight millions' of my race; The blacks and whites are here to remain, in my opinion, "Tor all time. - What ever affects, the one race affects, the other.

The whole future of-the rela tions of the two races in the South hinges largely, upon our being able to inculcate into the young minds of black children and white children pVoper Ideas of justice and a . spirit of toleration and friendship between race and race. . If we fall to teach these lessons In the Sunday school, in that degree the future relations .be tween the races becomes a rmttter 'df spculation -and , danger. The I good Father has so arranged matters on this earth that one man cannot get on' without the help of the other. Our relations are so delegately and min utely Interwoven that one race van not In any large degree get away from the other. . - ; "In nine-tenths of our . Southern communities "there is peace,- good will and evidences of friendship .existing between the races. - - The outside world hears of the isolated crush of friction resulting in mob violence and lynching and top often concludes that this represents our Southern Christian civilization and that there are no adequate results following the work being done In church, Sunday school. public school and . elsewhere. - Atten tion often called,- to the fact ; that the young negro ,- gives troubled I P"ant that -there Is far too much, crime committed, by 'the negro youth. but In considering this phase of ne gro life we must remember that it ia the young that gives trouble.

There arehundreds of thou? sands of black ch i lore n who enter . no Sunday school or church on. the Sab bath day; But notwithstanding, the enormius amount- of work to be done, what has already', been accom plished In moral and religipus growth Indicates the possibility of such work and Justiiies further efforts In that direction. "This cbuntry owes a debt of gratitude already to a group of brave, men and women In the South which it can never repay. It has been largely owing to the Influence of this group, working, wnn co-operauon with the educated negro that peac and harmony und good will prevails in the South to the extent that it does.
