Mr. Roosevelt was givsn a hearty reeeptlon by the 3.700 or so students of the seventeen col lages that make up the university.

Considerable un-| easiness Is flit, not only by Wllson is, but by patrons all along the line of the Norfolk Southern Rail road, that passenger trains Nob. 14 and 16, which have been and are such a convenience, will, after the putting on of the new through train, be discontinued. It Is to be hoped that the railroad officials will consid er well what such a*move will .mean to Its many patrons. Not only would Wilton and Raleigh feel the effects of such a decision, but every town lglong the route would receive a se vere blow! We hope the rumors, the air that these trains will dis-| continued are nothing but rumors. RKPA1RINO 8TREKT8.

Re ported lluiu-un Hu Feel r in Out? Situation Becoming Interesting. ? Washington, May 26. ? An Inter esting story. # comes here from the eastern section of the State. It is to the effect that J. A. Sims of Salisbury, formerly of Concord and later of Charlotte, is feeling the Republicans at the Instance of A. H. Price of Salis bury, for National Committeeman E. C. Duncan for the chairmanship of the State executive committee to suc ceed Judge Spencer B- Adams. This, If true, will add to the gayety of the summer months. It has been rumor ed for a year that Mr. Duncan, who is an artful politician, would like to be chairman, but this is the first de finite story connecting him with the contest. Other names mentioned* In this connection are those -of A. H. Price. C..H. Cawles John M. Morehead and Richmond Pearson. The antl-organ lzatlon men are lining up for More bead. A movement in this direction was launched some time ago. Representative Cowles. It Is under stood. will not let his name be used. He is going to devote most of his time and attention to the eighth dis trict. The first person spoken of was Mr. Pearson. It was reported last summer that he would be the candi date of the Prltchard wing of the tenth district. This was about the time he gave voice to antl-Taft senti ments. For n weete L. CI lut -Wagner was on the list: he was made chair man of the Iredell committee. The Indications point, to a Duncan versus Morehead contest In the con vention. pitting the leaders of the two factions against each other for | a final show down. The situation in the G. O.
