The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheatre as the presi- ii HON. WILLIAM HOWAKD TAFT, OF OHIQ. 'i.ntial candidate was named was cae truly grandiose in its magnitude. In front, to the right and left, below and above, the billowing sea of hu manity, restless after hours of wait ":s and stirred from one emotion to another, was in a fever of expectan cy for the culminating vote. The fav orite sons of other States had been Earned, save Knox and LaFolletter and now on the roll call came Ohio. As the Buckeye State was reached, fte tall, -aunt form of Theodore E.

All semblance of order had been abandoned an the delegates' arena was a maelstrom of gesticulating men; the guidons of the States were snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts or borne tinder by the storm of dis order, the board was inaudible a mere whisper above the deafening vplume of sound. Ten, fifteen, twen ty minutes this uproar continued. It was a repetition of the scene of Wed nesday, when the name of Roosevelt threw the convention into a frenzy, repeated in intensity and almost in duration. But there is a limit to the physical resources of throat andi lung and at last the tired voices died uown to a hoarse shout, and finally subsided. The lull now gave the opportunity for the-speech seconding Taft's nom ination bv George H. Knight, of Cal ifornia, his big, round face beaming forth ptt the sympathetic multitude, and his splendid baritone voice well ing forth like the tones of a great church organ. California's tribute to Taft was brief and fervid. Now 8 there was another lull in the Taft movement, while the remaining can dkVtes were placed in nomination. It was early apparent that Taft would lead substantially on first bal lot, and even after the vote had ris en beyond the necessary number to nominate the roll-call of States con tinued until all had voted. A hush of expectancy hung over the assembly as the call proceeded. Hastv summaries showed that Taft ONVENTION WAS HELD. was far in advance. When New York was reached the Taft column totalled 427. Ohio carried the Taft total to 511, or 20 more than enough to nominate. Still the call went on until the final result was announced by Chairman Loc?e. The Ofiicial Ballot.

CHATHAM COUNTY. N. C, WEDNESDAY. JUNE 24. Genaral Stnrort L. Woodford, for Governor Hughss, moved to make the nomination of Taft unanimous ; Senator Penrose for Knox and Bou tell, for Cannon, and Henry, of Geor gia, for Foraker, and Wisconsin for LaFollette, seconded the moYement. The rote was given with a ringing cheer, and then with shouts of exul tation over the new candidate 1 the convention adjourned until 10 o'clock Friday, when the nomination of Vice President should be made. SHERMAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT Second Place on Republican Ticket Go ft to New York Han. Chicago, Special. It was a tired set of delegates.' that assembled Fri day morning To finish the business of the Republican National Convention. The New York delegation had caucus ed all night and agreed upon their choice. ' ; . It was moved and carried that nominating address be limited to ten minutes. . Timothy C. Woodruff, of New York, named James S. Sherman, of TJtica, for the place saying that New York can be earned by the Republi cans if a New York man gets on the ticket. New York had failed to get the first place for Governor Hughes, but the Empire State will be found in the Republican column if it can have any place on the ticket; otherwise there is danger'of the nominee at Denver. Only once, when New York had a man on the ticket, had the State been lost to the Republicans, and that time New. York was carried by a strong Democrat.; (Loudi cheers from all the Eastern delegations.) Speaker Cannon warmed the crowd to the highest pitch of enthusiasm by saying Sherman was as well qualified as any man on earth to take the place of the President if the President should be called away. The Coliseum crowd went wild as Cannon conclude ed, and it was seen that the man for. whom Woodruff and the . Speaker had let out their lungs would be nominat eel. barring miracles. Chairman Lodge called for the roll and the result was 816 for Sherman, 75 for "Murphy, 75 for Guild, 10 for Sheldon, one for Fafrbanks. Massachusetts moved to make the nomination 6f Sherman unanimous, and this was carried. Senator Warner, of Missouri, was made chairman of a committee to notify the vice presidential candi date, as Senator Lodge sails for Eu rope and cannot serve. The Convention adjourned at 11:45 sine die. . Secretary Taft Resigns. Secretary Taft has resigned and the President has appointed Luke Wright, of Tennessee, to succeed him.

Continues His Criticism of the Re publican Platform, Taking as His 'Subject the Anti-Injunction Plank. v Lincoln, Neb., Special. Following up his expressin in crisicism of the Republican national platform in gen eral, Wiliam J. Bryan gave out a statement in which the anti-injune tion plank of the Chicago declara tion, characterizing it as a "transpar ent fraucV That statement says: "The anti-injunction plank of the Republican platform as finally adopt ed is a transparent fraud. It is pos sible that the members of the commit tee were buncoed by some trust law yer that is the only charitable view that can be taken of it. Those who advocated the plank claimed to be do ing it as a concession to the wage earners, and yet if one will read the plank he will see that it is in fact announcement that the Republican party is unalterably opposed to the laboring man's position. i "The men who are responsible for the. language of the injunction plank may have fooled the convention, but the voters in general. - The injunction plank has not even the value of a gold-plate brick for the plating is brass as well as the interior of the brick. , . "This is the treatment -received by the wage-earners from the national convention of the Republican party. If this is the position of the partv before the election, what reason has the laboring man to hope that the party will do better after election?" CONGRATULATIONS POUR IN. Washington, Special. Usually an early riser, Secretary Taft was a lit tle late in taking up the business of the day and it was after' 9 o'clock Friday morning before he came down to breakfast. The principal lower rooms of the K street residence of the Secretary were filled with magnifi cent bunches of cut flowers, and tel egrams of congratulations were piled high upon the sideboard. One that came qyernight was of peculiar in terest to the Secretary. It was as follows : "Madison, Wis., June 18. "Hon. William H. Taft, Washington, D. C. "While the platform is disappoint ing in some fundamental provisions and omissions, ad I shall claim-the right to say so, I congratulate you most sincerely and in the faith that you are more nearly in accord with the great body of Republican voters than the platform, I shall do all in my power to insure your election. "ROBERT M. LAFOLETTE." The fatigue of the excitement of Thursday night apparently made lit tle impression upon Mrs. Taft and other members of the Secretary's family and even before the usual breakfast hour all of them were down stairs and deeply engrossed in1 the morning newspapers, gvery one of which displayed more or less pleas ing liknesses of the War Secre tary and candidate on the first page. Foraker Extends Congratulations. Washington, Special. The follow ing correspondence between Secre tary Taft and Senator Foraker fol lowing the nomination of the former at Chicago, was made public at the War Department: "Dear Mr. Secretary: Although 3 fear it may be unwelcome and prob ably misunderstood, it is nevertheless my pleasure to avail myself of the privilege to send you heartiest con gratulations and best wishes for suc cess in November, e "Very truly, " "JOSEPH B. pr.ajjirr.ri " Tobacco Plant Beds Ruined.

There is not the slight est clue as to who the thieves aie. Mjr.

The platform lauds Roosevelt, de claring his administration an epoch in American history ' and that the highest aspirations of the American people have found a voice, and as serting that American manhood ha3 been lifted to a nobler sense of duty and obligation. It then goes on to praise what the party has done, and proceeds to de clare for certain things, chief among which are the following : Tariff revision by a special session of Congress, immediately following the next inauguration ; modified i by the principle of protection, with max imum and minimum rates. Development of a permanent cur rency system, to be at once elastic and automatic. A postal savings bank system.

L. tracks to Rutherfordton Charlotte, Special. A significant move that will be of interest to the people of this city is that to be in augurated by the Seaboard next Monday, when work will be started from Monroe towards Charlotte, tak ing tip the old ties and rails and re building the Carolina Central tracks with 80-pound rails instead of the 60-pound rails at present in use. This information is considered most sig nificant when it is remembered that the Clinchfield Railroad, forerly the S. & W. has about completed its lines from the Virginia coal fields, and it will soon he ready to begin operation of its trains this summer. While there has been much said about the new railroad, and even speculation as to its coming to Char lotte, the fact that it will connect with the Seaboard somewhere west of Charlotte, indicates that the road will turn a good deal of its business over to the Seaboard, or will operate many of its trains over the Seaboard The preparations by the Seaboard for extensive enlargements to its terminals at Wilmington, is also con sidered an indication the the Clinch field line would make use of the Sea board in some manner. Before the Seaboard went into receiveship the president of that road, while in Charlotte said last summer, that his road would be naturally in a position to take all freight that might be turned over to it at the intersection of the new road with the Seaboard west of this city, "but nothing definite as to any proposed arrangements beT tween the two roaCm, was given out. Now that active work will be started on the Seaboard road from Monroe, where the light rails of the western section are replaced with heavier, rails on to Hamlet, will be started next week, giving a continuous line of heavy rails, and better road-bed from Hamlet to Rutherfordton, the prospects of something happening are made much more significant than they have been before, and the Sea board will be prepared, when the work is completed, to handle heavier trains from its eastern terminus in North Carolina. The roart will also be improved-by ballast all tbe.dis-. tance between Monroe , and Ruther fordton. State Teachers' Assembly. Charlotte, Special. The North Carolina State Teachers' Assembly held the best and most largely at tended session in its history here last week in the assembly hall of the Presbyterian college. The program was of special interest and was car ried out with snap and vigor. All the members and visitors had a good time. The annual business meeting was held Friday afternoon, and the following officers were elected for. the ensuing years: President, Supt. T. R. Foust, of the Guilford county schools. Vice president, Prof. D. H. Hill, of the A. & M. Colege, of Raleigh. Secretary, R. D. W. Connor, sec retary of the State Historical Com mission, of Raleigh. Executive committee: Miss Edith Royster, of Raleigh; Supt. Harry Howell, of Washington, J. R. Brid ges, Superintendent Webb, of Gran ville; Supt. L. C. Brogden, of Kin ston, and Supt. R. L. Moore, of Madi son. Glenn Favors Better Schools. Raleigh, Special. The Governor will transmit a strong message to the General Assembly looking to the bet terment of educational conditions, to make possible even more wonderful achievements in the development of the citizenship of the State. Switchman Run Over by Train and Leg Mashed off. Spencerj Special. Arthur Turner, a colored switchman on the Spencer yards of the Southern was run over by an engine and his left leg practi cally mashed off. He was promptly treated bv local physicians, who sent i him to Salisbury hospital where his leg was amputated. Little hope is entertained for his recovery. Great Council of Red Men. Asheville, .Special. Officers elect of the Great Council of North Caro lina Improved Order of Red Men are in session here. They are Great Sachem, Joseph E. Porgue, Raleigh; Great Senior Sagamore,. S. T. White, Greenville; Great Junior' Sagamore, W. L. Stamey, High Point ; Great Prophet, E. A. Ebert, Winston ; Ren resentatives of Great Council of the United States, B. W. Taylor. W. Ben Goodwin and E. A. Ebert. The next Great Council meets in Newbern and will be a big gathering and hold important sessions. Shaft in Howard's Gap. Tryon, Special. The Tryon Lodge Junior Order United American Me chanics is now having the shaft erected in Howard Gap, which sthey will unveil on July 4tb with appro priate ceremonies. The shaft "well be twenty feet high vnith an eight foot base of rustic design, and will com memorate the battle of Round Moun tain in 1776, when Captain Howard deefated th Indians, 1908.

For Larger Advertise ments Liberal Contracts will be made. Sections of the State Jjf North Carolina Bankers Association. Morehead City, Special. The sen timent of the North Carolina Bank ers' Association, now in session at Morehead! City, seems td be strongly opposed to the new Vreeland-Ald-rich currency bill, and also to the principle upon which that bill is founded, viz: the issue of money up on bonds or investment securities. The sentiment of the. association is practically unanimous in favor of isr sue of currency upon the general as. &et of the bank, secured by a guar antee fund. The sentiment of the convention seemed somewhat divided about guaranteeing deposit. Mr. John M, Miller, of the First National Bank of Richmond, made a short adi dress, in which he took the position that we would have to have a guar antee of deposits. This would be up on the co-insurance plan as factories are insured against fire. The idea is that banks will associate themselves together to insure depositors against loss of deposits. Mr. Miller pointed out that there was a' growing de mand for an absolute secure deposit and this is more particularly true of savings fund. He pointed out that there was a strong tendency to es tablish postal savings banks.' He thought the banks could d'" this bus-, iness even better than the govern ment, but that the people had a ten dency to prefer the government, be cause of the feeling that their de posits would be absolutely secure in government haiids. If the banks would proceed to formulate and ac cept a pian making absolute security of deposits, then the growth of sen timent favoring postal banks would die. If the banks fail to make de posits absolutely secure, the growth of sentiment in favor of postal banks woulrt increase. The Sotuhhornd Railway Solvent. '' Winston-Salem, Special. An offi cer of the Southbound Railway Com pany stated that this road had no conncetion whatever with the Caro lina Valley Railway Company, with offices at High Point, and the Thom asville and . Denton road, leading from Tbomasville to Denton and the Iolo gold mines which were placed in the hands of receivers by Jut;e Fred Moore in Greensboro last week. The Southbound is solvent, not ow ing a dollar. The Carolina Valley is the company started tAvo jrears ago to build an interurban road from Thomasville to Greensboro and Winston-Salem., It is claimed that the receivership is for the purpose of effecting a reorganization of both p, roads. It is rumored that the South bound, which was organized to build a road from this city to Wadesboro, is to be a part of the property to be acquired nnrVir the reorganization. The men behind the movement it is claimed, are planning for a connect ing line in competition with the new South & Western road being con structed from Kentucky and West Virginia coal fields to the seaboard. Seriously Injured in Runaway. Spencer, Special. Mr. Rufus Isen hour, son of Mr. C. W. Isenhour, a well-known citizen of East Spencer, was severely injured in a runaway 1 accidjont between Spencer and Salis bury and is in a precarious condition. A horse which Mr. Isenhour was driving took fright at an automobile and dashed the buggy into another conveyance .throwing him violently to the ground. His head and should ers were badly injured and he was taken to his home in a dangerous condition, but it is now thought that be will soon recover. Mr. Isehour is a medical student andi is spending a vacation with his parents. Family Was Nearly Burned. Wilson, Special. Early Friday morning the home of Mr. John E. Woodard, one of the Democratic can didates for Attorney General, was discovered on fire and the family nar rowly escaped. The bed of one son was in flames when he awoke. The falling of the extension ladder threat ened the death of two of the firemen. The loss to the dwelling is $1,500, Wants Glenn for the Leader. Raleigh, Special. In the presence of the officers of the Anti-Saloon League, Governor Glenn signed a proclamation declaring the result of the prohibition election. R. S. Her shey, of Rochester, N. Y., was pres ent and stated that he wanted the Governor to take the lyceum plat form anci tell the people what had been accomplished in North Carolina with a view to the Govrnor's running at the head of the Prohibition ticket four years hence. The proposal was greeted with applause. Movement of Fruit Gives Employ ment, i I Spencer, '-Special. The Southern Railway Company is now handling -an enormous quantity of peaches and ' vegetables between Southern and Northern points and it is not an un- common occurence for from five to ten trajn loads to pass through Spen cer daily.
