Charlotte, Sept. 6. The Republi can State convention met here yes terday, preserved "its integrity and autonomy" by excluding from par ticipation all but avowed Taft sup porters, nominated Thomas Settle, of Boucombe for Governor, and a full state ticket, and by a vote of 606 to 150 adopted a platform demand ing local option on the liquor ques tion. The convention adjourned at midnight, having crowded 'consider able work into a very short time. It was in actual session only three hours and a quarter. The rejuvenated steam roller was never in finer shape. It began its deadly work at the morning meeting of the state executive committee, which turned the far-famed engine of destruction upon itBelf and expell ed six members who were avowedly antl-Taft. When this resolution, in troduced by J. J. Mott, declared that no persons except supporters of Pres ident Taft had a right to voice or vote in the committee had been adopted by a vote of 8 to 6 after a prolonged discussion, an inquisition followed which resulted in the un seating ,of Charles H. Cowles, C. 13. Green, George Hi. Butler, J. J. Jen kinB, I. B. Tucker, and J. D. Parker. The big game thus disposed of, Thomas Settle introduced a resolu tion even more sweeping in Its na ture. It slammed shut the doors of the convention hall to all delegates who do not propose casting ballots for the present President. It passed 9 to 5 and the withdrawal of the Itonsevelt men became Inevitable. With most of the unruly elements safely out of the way the course of true love ran smooth. Unanimous was the re-election of Chairman John M. Morehead. By acclamation was the nomination of Settle. En thusiastic was the motion to declare the seat of Richmond Pearson In the national committee vacant, and the . virtual election of E. Carl Duncan to that post. . All the elections were without contest. Only two squalls blew up during the night sessionwhich began at ! o'clock and In all the actual work not done in committee rooms, was put through. Tho first was over the question whether tho convention should proceed to nominate a full state ticket, or should stop for the present with the nomination of a candidate for Governor, and leavo the other positions open for negotia tions by a committee to deal with disaffected elements unfriendly to Democracy. Mr. Harry Skinner favored the postponement of action and engaged In a sharp verbal tilt with E. C. Duncan, precipitated when Mr. Skin ner intimated that Mr. Duncan had got what he was after from the con vention and was not further con cerned for the party's good. This storm blew over. The second fight was over the lo cal option plank In the platform by the majority of the platform com mittee. The majority report was of fered by W. J. Andrews, of Wake A minority report excluding the ref erence to local option was introduc ed by C. E. Taylor, of Brunswick The local option plank won 606 to . 150. The Third Termers. Renewing their pledges of allegi ance to the Roosevelt-Johnson Pro gressive -cause and declining to treat further with the Taft Republicans in Bosslon at the Auditorium, the as sembly of Roosevelt . Republicans self-styled, In conference at the coun ty courthouse yesterday afternoon went on record In ringing resolutions denouncing the alleged arbitrary methods pursued by the regular Re publican State executive committee In unseating six Roosevelt members and declining to allow representation to others except such as would "bend the knee to Baal," and concluded by putting for a separate electoral and state ticket for the coming primaries to be hold In November. The fight was distinctly spectac ular and thrilling at times, when such well-known leaders as Rich mond Pearson, Charles H, Cowies Zeb Vance Walser, Marion Butler and others took the floor and held It by, the force either of argumenta tive nower or as to tne result oi i thrilling messages which they hrniiEht. There was no question ai to the Prospects For Securing Berth In Carolina Association Are Bright How would you like to see Ral eigh represented in a Carolina League with such towns as Char lotte, Durham, Wilmington, Greens boro and Winston-Salem? Wilmington wants entrance into the league, and that is the reason why the teams are showing off down there. Raleigh would like to be In the league, and by spring could se cure a good park. A letter received by Dr. Joel Whitaker .from .Mr. Manlius Orr of Charlotte today stated that Raleigh could secure a berth in the Carolina Association. The old arrangement has been abandoned, the South Caro lina teams not being able to keep company with the North Carolina cities. The Carolina Association was faster this year than It was the year Raleigh bested Charlotte. It has de veloped many stars and has furnish ed entertainment to thousands of fans. ' It Is good class D baseball. If t.he baseball lovers of Raleigh are desirous 'of getting into the new league, for It will be formed, the time to take action is at once.

Washington, Sept. 5.- The Star of today has the following story of a North Carolina fly killer: "A new discovery for the extermination ot flies which may be effective In pav ing the way to complete eradication of the pests was tried out In the Star's fly campaign headquarters this afternoon.1 Several hundred insects were liberated In the room and all were" destroyed within less than five minutes. .The hew method which consists of charging the atmosphere with an alcoholic distillation of the long leaf pine was discovered by Dr. Joseph C, Shepard of Wilmington N. C. The demonstration was given by Dr. J. L. Morel, who is Dr Bhepyd's representative, ; pr, M.oJ'el is in Washington with a view to in teresting the federal government offi cials In the discovery. "After a trap containing several hundred flies had been opened in the room Dr. Morel dusted a small blower for charging the amosphere with the mixture and within a few minutes the insects began to fall to the floor lifeless and it was not long until all were dead. Several water insects which had been turned loose on the fl'ior expired the same way. It was oiilained that flies breathe through the pores in their bodies and that the pine leaf product closes the pores, and thus stops respiration. The mixture, It is stated, is not in jurious to human beings, who, of course breathe in an entirely differ ent way. "The health depart ment ,iay con duct experiments with a view to de termining the effectiveness of the preparation In destroying the breed ing places of flies. Will of Xathau Herman.

Kerv now and again a man elands at the heart -of a big 'machine, and watches it as, with thp 'adjustment of its many parts, it starts off I do the work lor which it is designed. This morning a Times reporter went out to see a big mnchlne start, the biggest of its kind in the state, Vc say a, big machine because it deals with human hearts and human In telligences. This machine, repre sentative of power derived from e'- ery part of the state, was the A. and M. College at its anmuil open ing. One haR to he present at such an opening to realize what u little world in Itself a large college is. A long line of students was at one place, waiting to see tho president and get their enrollment commls sions, another Ions line vas in front of the dean's office, adjusting their class records for the year. A still longer line besieged' -the registrar's office, to get their matriculation cards to admit them to their classes signed. Before the burser's office all the students, who poured out from the other offices assembled to pay their 'registration dues. , It, was a sight which always Impresses man, woman and child, a collection of splendid young men representing tho industries of the state. One man passed in entering on the textile course, with the view some day of running a factory of his own. Another wanted to. bo a farmer, another had visions of a splendid engineer and was entering on his course with a heart full of anticipation. Here was a youngster who wanted lo lie a chemist. Every where were these young men, repre senting the spirit of a new age, an age which wants to be trained for scientific and practical work. The machine, representing the different parts just outlined, Is so guided that by the close of day, all these various men, both old aid and new .will be registered and assigned to their class rooms and tho ma chine will move off tomorrow morn ing without any friction. Every room In college Is now oc cupied and the great question with the College niitlioi'itles Is what its to he done with the over flow. Last night quite a crowd slept on cots in recitation rooms. During the day, however, it Is hoped to find room for a good many In the neighbor hood, The ?olege unfortunately, can take into its dormitories only a few over 500 and Is decidedly in need of a larger dormitory to ac commodatce- the increased number. The spirit of tho student body is line, full of enthusiasm and a desire to make this year a great one in col lege history. The registration closes at nine o'clock this evening and up to that time the exact number can not be known accurately. It is far in excess of any previous registra tion. however. . ' President Hill, -when seen In his office by The Times-Teporter today was about the busiest man at the college, with scores of young men waiting to spe him. He was not too busy, however, to give the reporter an ...optimistic outlook for the new year. The president no doubt fore saw the coming interview for ho privately tod the reporter that he was writing a newspaper story in his dreams last night on the open Ing of college, so he was ready for his interviewer. The president was not tho only busy man, however, for it seemed to ho the spirit of the whole college. There were a few wandering around with a waiting, unsettled air as if they wished it was all settled and they too had something to do to give them the busy important air. which the old students wore.

The bandit said his name was Howard E. Edwards, and his family lives at Jupiter, Florida. He gave the police information that may lead to t'.e arret, of three otlier members of the gang, believed responsible for a series of sensational train rob beries in this section. Edwards is in a precarious condition. His recov ery is -doubtful. After Edwards completed his round of the coaches, he went for ward to thi engine. Caught off his guard for an instant, he was hit by Engineer Baer who .wielded a heavy oil can. The bandit dropped uncon scious.. Following so closely upon the attempted robbery of the Cin cinnati Southbound at almost the same soot the night previous, Ed ward's work is considered most dar ing. Edwards secured about a thou sand dollars cash. The engineer al so used a brass torch on the head fracturing the skull. The robber was taken to Bay St. Louis, Ms., where he was taken off and placed In charge of railroad surgeons until police oilier s from New Orleans ar rived.:' , SLEEP OCT OF DOORS.

The thermometer was again up to 91 yesterday and today gives promise of being anoth er scorcher. Whether it is the humidity, or whether it is simply the long and unseasonable duration of the hot spell, nobody seems to know, but for some cause or other Atlantians are suffering as they have not suffered for many a summer past. Babies are i'l; human babies and puppies,, too;' -they . lie and pant all day long ; horses occasionally topple over in the street; whiskey-drinkers, that Is the habitual ones, have gone under completely: tho charity wards of the hospitals and the police bar racks are full of them; they go wild if they don't drink and they go crazy with the heat if they do.

Tom Settle Is Riding Locatf Option Plank, bnt Will Lose Many .Votes The Two Tickets. J Democrats in Raleigh today made no effort to disguise their aatlsfac tion over the outcome of the repub lican state convention, held in Char lotte yesterday.
