WEDNESDAY, July 15, 1908. H A. LONDON, Editor. DEMOCRATIC NOMINEES. For President, . WILLIAM J. BRYAN, -of Nebraska. For Vice-President, JOHN W. KERN, of Indiana. For Governor, W. W. KITCHIN, of Person. For Lieutenant-Governor, W. C. NEWLAND, of Caldwell. For Secretary of State, J. BRYAN GRIMEd, of Pitt. For Treasurer, B. R. LACY, of Wake. For Auditor, B. F. DIXON, of Cleveland.

GRAHAM, of Lincoln. For Commissioner of Labor & Printing, :M. L. SHIPMAN, of Henderson. For Corporation Commissioner, B. F. AYCOCK, of Wayne. The expected has happened, and Hon. W. J. Bryan was nominated by the Democratic national con vention, last week, for President. While his nomination had been very generally conceded for some time past, yet the unanimity with whih thfi nomination was made was greater than had been ex pected. Instead of receiving only the two-thirds majority (which was required) he received nearly nine-tenths of the votes cast. Rarely has any political con vention ever been more unani mous and harmonious in its acts. Not only was Mr. Bryan nominal ed by an almost unanimous vote, but the candidate for Vice-Presi dent was nominated by acclama tion, and the platform was adopted by a unanimous vote. With such harmony and unanimity of senti ment in the convention it is to be hoped that the convention's acts will be ratified with the same harmony and unanimity by all the Democrats throughout the Unit ed States.. The platform adopted seems to giye satisfaction to all kinds and conditions ox .Democrats, ana is acceptable to many who objected to previous platforms of our na tional conventions. While of course the platform is entirely satisfactory to Mr. Bryan (who almost dictated it) it was approv ed by Judge Alton B. Parker, who who was our nominee for Presi dent in 1904 and who was ona of the most conspicuous members of the committee which framed the platform. It is also satisfactory to the leaders of the Labor Unions. With candidates nominated with such unanimity, and with such a platform so satisfactory, the Dem ocrats enter upon this campaign with a much better chance of success than in any campaign since Cleveland's last election. Many Democrats will vote for our nominees this year who did not vote f rMr. Bryan in 1896 or 1900 or Judge Parker in 1904. It is wonderful how crazed with enthusiasm men will become at political conventions. All who at tended our recent State conven tion at Charlotte will bear wit ness to this, and yet as wild and unrestrained as was the enthusi asm on that occasion it was not .to be compared to the "enthusiasm, at the national convention last week at Denver. At the Republican national con vention, held last month at Chi cago, there was intense enthusiasm and at one time the cheers and ap plause lasted for three-quarters of an hour continuously. This long continued applause was unpre cedented in any previous conven tion and broke all records, but the Democratic convention at Denver surpassed this, for at one time the applause there continued with out interruption for one hour and twenty-seven minutes. Such a scene is almost indes cribable and seems incredible. The idea of thousands of grown men, many of them of national reputa tion, yelling and shouting as loud . i i -I as tney couia ana paraaing up and down the aisles, waiving their hats and handkerchiefs, and act ing like so many crazy men, for nearly an hour and a half! The socialist labor party at New York has nominated as its- o.tudidate for President a man, named M. R. Preston, who is now serving a sentence of twenty-five years in the penitentiary of Ne vada for murder. This is the most remarkable nomination that we ever heard of. The idea of a convict in a penitentiary being a candidate for the high office oi President of the United States! v Fatal Explosion on Launch Marion, Mass., July 12. Four prominent summer residents ot this town and Falmouth, met death through an explosion on a 45-foot launch off here last night. Two survivors were picked up to day after having been in the water for 12 hours Tucker, who was clinging to an oar and Tarbell, who was support ed by-a life preserver, were able to swim and they remained to gether until picked up by a lob ster fisherman going out in the early morning to haul his pots. His boat was seen by two struggling men in tre water Ion.' before the fisherman himseli could make them out. Finally he spied the nearly exhausted swimmers and rescued them. A Girl's Swim in the Mississippi. St. Louis, July 12. Mks Lottie Mayer, a courageous young wo man with well developed biceps ana a robust pnvsique, swam twenty-six miles from Alton to St Louis yesterday, without missing a stroke to rest, in five hours and eighteen minutes. This swim, it is said, never has been made be m lore except once, nine years ago, when John C. Meyers, floating much of the way on his back, cov ered the distance in seven hours. Miss Mayer s feat is declared to break the world's record. The immense sum of money ap propriated at the last session of Congress for the next fiscal year amounts to over one billion dol lars. This is nearly one hundred million more than the expendi-l tures for the last fiscal year. Few persons are aware of what an im mense amount of money this is. If it was all in silver dollars it would require over thirty thousand wag ons to haul it, each wagon haul ing two thousand poundsl Our people watch very closely the expenditures made by their local governments such as their city and county expenses," and yet these are insignificant when com pared with the expenses . of the federal government, which .seem to be scarcely noticed. The form er are nearer home and are more generally known, while the latter are seldom thought of, and indeed j are not known to many persons. Destructive Forest Fires. Boston, Mass., July 14. The worst forest and brush fires that ever devastated this part of the i country are toaay sweeping through every state in New Eug land. In Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts they have caused tremendous' damage, and probably loss of life. Villages are threatened with destruction, r Ail reads are tied up, cattle have been stampeded, and thousands of men are working night and day to stop the work of devastation. . Gastonia Gazette: Lovers of fruit and that includes about all of us are now in cloverl Apples and peaches are cheap, especially the former. Only this week some first-class apples were sold on the local market for ten cents a bush el and in one case, the owner be ing unable to sell at any price, a wagon load of apples were dump ed in the road. Tomatoes have gotten down to five cents a dozeD and they are good ones at that. Lenoir News: Lightning struck Joe Lingle's barn at Hudson last Monday, killing a horse, burning the barn and about 60 bushels of wheat and 75 bushels of oats, be sides a lot of forage. Two child ren were playing in the barn at the time and were near the horse, but were not hurt, except a right severe shock. The Democratic Platform. From the News aud Observer. v The Democratic platform as adopted at Denver is a docu ineut that is clear cut in its utter ances. It is a party chart of guid ance in which there are no cross lines to confuse, a declaration of principles that is outspoken, a direct presentation of purposes with no attempt at straddling. The platform speaks for itself and it is one upon which the De mocracy can go to the country with confidence, as in every plank it is one which is for a better governed country. It is progres sive and yet conservative. It is one upon which an undivided Democratic party can stand, its promises and pledges being such as to give assurance to all the people that with the Democracy in power this country will go for ward in every line of the world s progress. The platform declares for an immediate revision of the tariff, id it rings clear and true in do- mgr tnis: aeciares lor an income tax, for the election of United States Senators by the direct vote of the people, which is certain to come ultimately, for a navy that will give protection to the Atlantic and Pacific seacoast, for a change in the law governing issuing of injunctions by the courts, which are recognized as the bulwark of liberty, whose dignity should be maintained, for economy in gov ernmental expenditures, as against the needless extravagance of the last Congress, for a liberal pen sion policy, for the observance oi the rights of the States, for pub licity in campaign expenses de manded because of the gift ol stolen corporation funds to the liepu. licans. In the plank which concerns the railroads it asserts the right of Congress to exercise control over interstate commerce, demands that powers of the interstate commerce commission be enlarged, making as a recommendation the valuation 0 1 t .a oi raiiroaas Dy the commission, taking into consideration the physical value of the property, the original cost and all elements of value that will render the valua tion fair and just, iu order to fair ly pass upon the'question of rates It condemns the use of Federal patronage for political ends, the increase in the office-holding class as unnecessary and wasteful and showing clearly a purpose to keep the Republicans in power, con demning in plain terms the use of patronage by the President to se cure the nomination of one of his cabinet officers as his desired suc cessor in office. The platform takes up other questions which affect the inter ests of the country and the posi cions it takes are those that stand tor the best interests of the coun try. The platform in its entirety is worthy of the closest perusal, and it is so clear and plain that it ueeds no explanation. It is a plat form that is a strong presentation of the position of the Democracy, one that sharply calls attention to Republican delinquencies and presenis the needs of remedies for these that the country may be properly governed and irregulari ties removed, and in place of these there may be substituted the plans of government formulated and endorsed by the Democracy the Unique Negro Preacher Dead.

Kern, the Demo cratic candidate for Vice-Presi dent, will make several speeches in this State next month. Collapse of Bridge Kills Many. Cologne. Julv 9. Ihe bridge a He was 78 years ot age. U-nc;le Mose belonged to the old regime of colored people and was often referred to as the "John Jasper of Durham." He was probably he only man in the State-who was minister and owned, his own church, lock, stock and barrel. His was Berea church and he preached when he pleased and did not'have to deal with any person or persons as to when his term as pastor was out. He was the whole official board. In connection with his church was his residence and there he lived with soma of his daughters. About the church is a little garden spot and here he worked when he was not preach ing. Uncle Mose deserves more than passinc notice. He was more than an ordinary man. Belonging to the old slave regimo he was polite and honest almost to a fault and he delighted more in preach- ing'to his former masters and sons and daughters' of former masters than he did to those'' of his own race. He talked Scripture at all times and showed a wonder ful knowledge of the Good Book for a man of his advantages. A few years ago he went to New York on a visit and he never tired of telling the sights he saw on that trip and of the kind and courteous manner in which he was treated bv the "white folks, lie was one of the characters who always in sisted that the negro's best friend was the white folks and that the "upstart niggers,' as be called them, were causing more trouble for the race than all other things combined. The scaffolding supporting the . powerful crane used in the erec-' ion of the central span of the bridge collapsed and the crashing down of this section carried with t several other spans. Several other workmen were thrown into he river. Some of them are still underneath the scaffolding and there is no hope whatever for their rescue, immediately after he accident boats pulled out for he scene and began the work of i . ' i rescue. About , score oi sirug- ling men were quickly picked up. Revolution in Honduras. Puerto Cortez, Honduras, July 8, via New Orleans, July 12.- T he fighting which has occurred about Uracia and Uuolutrea bears the earmarks of organized revolu tion. The reports sav the attacks on these towns were begun by small bodies of armed men; who were at first repulsed by govern ment troops, but who returned the attacks and finally won. Although the captors ot these towns were said to be men from Salvador,- i significant fact is that just preced ing their appearance iu Honduras officials of this eovernmeut claim to have received notice of a pre concerted plan tor uprisings throughout Honduras. To nip the uprisings m the bud several ar rests were made here and at San Pedro before the Honduras frontier was ruvaded from Salvadore. Ap parently the Honduras ohicials believe these arrests have eftectu ally squelched the revolutionary movement among the residents o this country, but the3T fear tha the appearance of fresh bodies o invaders from any of the other re publics may revive an armed op position in Honduras. Presiden Davilla has declared the republic in a state of war and has begun to concentrate Houduran troops as rapidly as possible in order to beat off the invaders. The State Fair executive com mittee is preparing for an exhibi tion much beyond the average in October.

W.HJCKD.e EOCKPORD. DURHAM & SOUTHERN RAILWAY. Schedule in Effect April 19, 1908. Peaceful Election in Panama. Panama, July 22. The presi dential elections throughout the Isthmus of Panama passed off to day without disturbance, benor Don Jose Domingo de Obaldia formerly minister to the United States, and acting President dur ing the absence of Dr. Amador, was elected Jf resident. The sup porters of Eicardo Arias, who re cently withdrew his candidacy, decided not to vote, and as a con sequence, no opposition, Senor Obaldia was placed in nomina tion. Notwithstanding this, a large number of voters registered their choice, and demonstrated the overwhelming majority of Senor Obaldia's supporters. From all parts of the republic news has been received here that the elec tions were carried on in an order ly manner, and that Senor Obaldia received all the votes cast. At the conclusion of the balloting, enthu siastic crowds, headed by a band of music, paraded the streets of Panama,cheering continuously for the newly-elected President. There appeared to be an absolute ab sence of ill feeling between the former supporters of Senor Arias and the adherents of Senor Obal dia. Never before has such a friendly spirit been seen so quick ly after an election. Shot Wife for a Burglar. Philadelphia, Pa., July 12. Mistaking his bride of less than a Plucky Lad Saves Himself. Special to Charlotte Observer. Gaffney, S. C, July 13 Yester day afternoon little Walter Svr ratt and his brother who i.s j-oang-er than he were playing over 'an old disused well several hundred yards away from lii. father's house when the boards which covered the mouth of the. well gave way precipitating Walter to the bottom, a distance of seven ty -five feet, and at the bottom of which was seven feet of water. The younger child at once ran to the house to inform his father, Mr. Boyd Sarratt, of the accident to his brother. The father, almost frightened out of wits, started for the scene of the accident expect ing to find his son at the bottom of the well, but judge of his sur prise and relief when he met the boy coming to the house. The little fellow had crawled to the top after having gone to the "bot tom. The only injury' which he sustained was an abrasion on the oacK oi his head, lhe wen was Northbound. Rend Up. No. 8. No. C.
