4 ' THE. RALEIGH TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JUNE. 26, J912, 43 YEARS OLD Victor Fire Company to Cele brate Acuiversary This Week This month marks the. forty-third anniversary of Raleigh's colored vol unteer fire department, which is known as the "Victor Campany No. 3." It was in the year 1869 that the colored men of Raleigh held a mass meeting and petitioned Mayor Harri son for the privilege of organizing a volunteer company. After the or ganization was perfected, the city turned over to them two pieces of fire-fighting apparatus a hand en gine and hose cart. These old relics are stored in the city lot here, and are a striking contrast to the. present development of the colored branch of the city's Are fighting service. The chartor members of the Vic tor Company were all' colored men of prominence here. They were: James H. Jones, H. C. Jones, H. P. Buncombe John E. Williams, Wil liam Mitchell, Charles M. Hunter, Samuel Stewart and Sylvester Dun ston. These have long since retired on account of age, but in most cases their sons have taken up the work where they left off, and are today rendering the city of Raleigh good service as firemen. Many of the older ones are even today acting as advisors, though unabel to render active service. The colored wing of the depart ment has, on several occasions, headed off what looked like critical situations here, during big fires. The men are proud of their posi tion, and glad to be of service to the city. Under every chief they have served, .they have gained his confidence and the appreciation of the white citizens of Raleigh. It is the desire of the men to cele brate their anniversary by , having a little ice cream feast this week, pro viding sufficient funds can be raised for the occasion, especially for those men now living, who have labored for forty-thrse years in the service. F. B. Kellebrew is foreman, J. T. Palmer is secretary and : Charles Winters is treasurer of the company. Convention Awaits Commit tee's Action (Continued From Page One.) acceptable to the convention's choice. Another important proposition de cided was the recognition by the rules committee of the authority of a state convention to instruct its delegates to he national convention in the enforcement of the unit rule, in the absence of a specific statute. Last Xight's Session. Baltimore, Md., June 26. A rap Id fire, routine session last ; night closed the first day of the democrat ic convention which began with Use defeat of Win. J. Bryan for tempo' rt'iy chairman. Scenes of disorder on the floor which made further proceedings impossible forced last night's session, and compelled Al ton B. Parker to suspend his key note speech until the evening ses- sir n. Last night the delegates on the floor gave earnest evidence of their desire to do everything in a hurry and get away from Baltimore. The leaders had planned to adjourn the session last night until 2 o'clock to day and to have the committees which were appointed meet at 10 o clock this morning. But the del egates would not hear of this plan and disorderly protests from the floor forced an adjournment until noon and advanced the committee meetings so that! they were orlered to meet immediately after the ses sion. Hurry is Plain. The delegates were very excited about hurrying things along. A voice from the floor announced "We have no Perkins to pay our Dills." The completion of Judge Park er's speech and the naming of com mittees was the sum of the work cf the night session. William Jennings Bryan did not appear at the conven tion hall during the evening. lis failure to be on hand caused an al most Immediate adjournment of the resolutions committee, which met after the session in response to tho delegates' demand for speed. It was practically certain that Bryan would be elected chairman of the committee. The other committees got together Immediately for organ izatlon. But a scattering attendance op peared in the galleries at 8 o'clock, toe hour set for convening the con ventlon. There were hundreds of vacant seats in the delegates' sec tion. The delegates who were In their seats gathered In little groups nd a "hum of conversation swept the hall. The band was anxious to please and drifted from "Moonlight Bay" to Von Suppe s Overture from "Wllhelm Tell." Scattered hand claps greeted Chairman Parker as he made his way up the middle aisle through the groups of dele gates. The soft rain that fell at Intervals all Say set In again toward night fall, adding to the humid heat and the atmosphere of the hall was op pressive As a result delegates and spectators stripped off their coats and rolled up their shirt sleeves, ready for the night's work. The bright glare tf the flickering elec tric lights added to the oppressive ' heat. The delegates began to crowd in the aisles .' were - In confusion. The sergeants-at-arms tried in vain to get the delegates seated. Many of them wanted to visit and converse and they thought the aisles the prop er place to do if. Finally four po licemen were placed in each aisle to keep the crowd moving. At 8:25 Chairman Mack dropped his gavel and the night session was on. The Rev. W. M. Dame, of the Me morial Church Protestant Episcopal of Baltimore, then delivered the prayer. In conclusion tne Kev. Mr. uame led the assembly in the Lord's pray er. "The congregation will join in tne Lord's Prayer," he said, and. the congregation" really did. A mur mur that grew louder and more con fident as the familiar words went on, swept the big hall, and the whis pered "Amen" was run tnroatea ana loud. How North Carolina oted. Baltimore. June 26 When North Carolina was reached in the roll call on the temporary chairmanship, Chairman Glenn announced that the vote was 15 for Parker and 9 for Brvan. the delegation had been poll ed to determine the vote. Here is the poll: For Parker: Uowa, McLean, Dortch, Lambe, Aydlett, Harding, Clark, Ransom, O'Berry, Hill, lii v- ard, Daniels, Abell, Underwood, McQueen, Bailey, Blair, Robinson, Doughton, Clement, R. L. Smith, Brenizer, Roberts, Erwin, Weaver, Love, Dillard; for Bryan: Glenn, Carr, Newland, Justice, Hammer, Hale, L. L. Smith, Finch, Kascoe, White. Cox. Ramsey. Graham, Bry ant, Hastings, Haynes, Clark, Mc- Iver, Young, Self. Bryan Hadn't Seen Mr. Bryan. Baltimore. June 26. Whatever William J. Bryan's plans may be for building the arty platform, what planks it will contain, whether it will be progressive, or conservative, Bryan is keeping carefully conceal ed from his friends. Bryan had no statement to make early this morn ing, either regarding the platform or Parker's appeal to the delegates to make Bryan chairman of the resolution committee. Returning to his hotel from a visit to Mayor Pres ton, the Nebraskan spent the early morning hours in correspondence, then went to the convention hall to attend the resolutions commit tee meeting. "The delegates are saying you will write the platform," was suggested to Bryan. Bryan re joined: "But a progressive plat form would be a rebuke to the con vention, would It not'.'" A news paper man pressed close to Bryan and in a most confidential appeal for information on the platform, said: "Mr. Bryan, I, have not seen Mr. Bryan this morning. But can you tell me what Mr. Bryan believes the platform will contain?" Bryan drew the reporter still closer, and replied in mock seriousness: "I have not seen Mr. Bryan myself, this morning." STRONG FOR T. R. Mountaineers of Western North Car- olina Announce Intention or Stick ing to the Colonel. : (Special to The Times.) Asheville, June 26.It is doubt ful If the colonel has any more ardent supporters among the rank and file of the republican party than In Western North Carolina, and it is certain that there are many here who would follow him even to the breaking of party ties that have bound them all their lives. Already the "bandana" is to be seen on the city streets. However, they seem to be in a rather unsettled state. With the colonel they are playing a wait ing game and the leaders do not try to hide the fact that they are wait ing on the colonel's next move. They say It is all they can do. The case of Colonel Lusk is little short of pathetic. He has been a strong partisan for 50 or 60 years, and has fought to the last ditcli in many a political battle. His is al most an isolated case in the respect that he has been fed out but little pie. He is a republican for the par ty's sake, and it will be as painful as vivisection for him to leave the regular organization. However, the colonel doubtless believes that the organization is leaving him, and no he the organization, and in his con tinued support of the colonel, he will insist that he Is still supporting tne party. To a newspaper man Colonel Lusk declared that come what would, he would not support Taft. He Bald that he could not consistently or conscientiously do It; that he has been fulminating against theft for years and he cannot support a man who stole the nomination. This statement was accompanied by Ian guage of such strength as to leave no doubt as to the colonel's sin cerlty. Colonel Lusk is one of the few that will talk. Most of the Roose velt men are not saying much. They seem to be in the position of fearing to commit themselves: that they may take a stand that they may nave to retire from. The democrats are a little skeDtl cat with reference to Teddy.'s sup porters sticking to bim If he heads a new party. Most of them are of the opinion that In the end they will all go home to roost as they aiways nave done. Probably most of the republicans here as else where, do not really know what they win do. They have never had such conditions to face before and they are proceeding carefully.

It was a matter of comment at a recent banquet In Savannah, says the Chicago Post, that the Chatham Artillery punch was missing. There was some alarm over this until it was established that the recipe had not really gone the way of the se crets concerning Tyrlan purple and Damascus steel. Artillery punch Is a solid punch Its veiled wallop is like that of a boxing glove with a brick In it. Col. A. C. Dawes, who was pre siding at a dinner following the In stallation of a lodge of Elks, had a bowl of it brewd without consulting the company.

After two rounds had passed one of the afterdinner amatuers slipped around to the toastmatcr s chair and whispered in his i'ur: "Dawes, why don't you ask me to speak?" A Matter of Application. This story comes from a church woman, a lover of flowers and gar dening, says the Living Church. On the marriage of a favorite nephew, reasoning that the couple would receive all soi-ts of costly presents, she sent them a fine edi tion of a book on flowers. She wrote ' ( : smmwMl1 ''': This Gas Range can be installed in your kitchen for $16.00 in monthly payments of $2.00. Hot Weather and a Hot Kitchen. Do not make a very good combination for comfort.
