The largest and most enthusiastic Democratic conventloa that has as sembled In Anson since the change was made, in 1888, of nominating county candidate by a direct primary, assembled In the court house here Monday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The court room was filled to its ca pacity with representatives of the militant Democracy of the great Democratic county of Anson. The crowd was entirely ' good humored but U was evident that every man was on the lookout to see that no harm came to his cause or his candl date if he coukl prevent it. The convention was called to order by County Chairman Jas. A. Lock- hart, who requested Mr. John T. Bennett to act as temporary chair man and Mr. II. S. Doggan as tem porary secretary, me roil was called and every precinct in the county was found to be represented with its full uuoto of delegates. No contests were reported and the tem porary organization was then, upon motion, made permanent. On motion the chair appointed Messrs. F. J. Cose, J. D. Home and L. D. Robinson a committee of three to ascertain the number of votes by the three candidates for Governor, in the primaries and to report upon what proportion of the eight votes the county has in the state convention should be giveneach of the said candidates. The returns from the eleven precincts of the coun ty placed in the committees hands showed that the following vote had been cast; Craig Home Kitchin Wadesboro 1, Wadesboro 2, Lilesville, Morven 1, Morven 2, Gulledge, . White Store, Lanes boro 1, Lanesboro 2, Burnsville, Ansonville, 50 101 90 70 29 48 52 50 ' 38 42 32 72 17 4 22 24 64 31 2ti 20 9 38 20 21 14 6 10 34 18 14 35 74 39 388 414 392 Total, The committee reported that Home should be given 2.80 votes and Craig and Kitchin each 2.60 votes. Mr. F. J. Coxe stated that Mr. Craig was entitled tomore votes than Mr. Kitchin' but said he would not make a contest. "The report was adopted. DELEGATES TO STATE CONVENTION The only matter which came befote the convention that caused any dis cussion was the question of the num ber of delegates to be sent to the State convention and the manner in which the said delegates should be selected. To settle this question Mr. L. D. Rob inson moved that the eleven precincts in the county be allowed to name three delegates each to the state con vention, and that the friends in each precinct of the three candidates for Governor name the delegate to rep resent their man. This motion was championed by Mr. Robinson, Mr. T. L. Caudle, Mr. L. L. Little and others. Mr. H. H. McLendon moved as a sabstitute to Mr. Robinson's motion that the friends of each of the candi dates in all the precincts ot the county come together in a body and name the delegates to the state convention.

According to expert horsemen he was 32 years old. it is conceded by many of Bryan's best friends that Johnson, of Minne sota would b3 a stronger candidate for president than Bryan. Then why not nominate Johnson? The New York World says he is a hun dred thousand votes stronger in New York than Bryan. With him as a caudidate half of the eastern states would be thrown in the doubtful col umn and the great west would be shaken as it has not been since ?76 and '92, when under the leadership of Tilden and Cleveland the Republi can cohorts were fought to a stand still behind their entrenchments on their chosen ground. Johnson rep resents the policies and principles of the Democratic party. Bryan is a map of notions and delusions. Progress. Colored Maa Shot br Policeman Red- feara. Tuesday afternoon Will Lee, col ored, who lives in Ansonville town ship, got drrnk and raised a distur bance in Rich Hammond's store. lo cated on the Charlotte road. In re-" sponse to a telephone message Police man Redfearn went to the scene and arretted Lee. Lee came alon? nuipt ly for some distance but finally brok$ away from the policeman and ran. Mr. Redfearn fired several times at the fleeing man, but, he says, did not try to hit him. After running some distance the negro jumped a fence and.as the officer approached, he told him not to come on him or he woud " shoot. At this time Lee was" trying to open a small satchel he car- ried and Mr. Redfearn fired on him striking him in the thigh. The ne gro is also shot in the bottom of the foot. This wound, it is claimed, was made by the same ball that entered the nogro's thigh, tha theory being that he had his foot doubled up un der him in such a way as to make it possible for the missle to enter the bottom of the foot after passing out of the thigh. Lee's wounds ara not considered, serious unless complications arise. He was carried to his home yesterl day afternoon by his father. Offieera Klectcd.
