in 6th District.

Bolt Likely and two Candidates
Named.
Wilmington, N. C, July 22
After the most turbulent session
the sixth congressional conven
tion ever held, early this morn
ing on the 43rd ballot they nomi
nated Hon. 0. L. Clark, of Clark
ton. The nomination followed
one of the most sensational con
ventions ever held here. The
delegates were divided into two
factions the Godwin followers
and the field. The Godwin
forces refused to vote in the con
vention. After Clark's nomina
tion, early this morning, the God
win forces met with George H.
Bellamy, deposed as chairman
by the field, presiding. The
Godwin forces decided to hold
a meeting later on today. The
advices from the beach now say
they are in session and sensation
al developments are anticipated.
The delegates are at daggers
points. It was.a deadlock yes
terday afternoon when the God
win forces attempted to throw
out the votes of Cumberland and
New Hanover. They claimed
that those delegates were ap
pointed by executive committee
and not elected. A meeting of
the executive committee was
called, at which Geo. H. Bellamy,
temporary chairman, was de
posed and Wm. E. Springer
elected instead. When the con
vention was called to order both
chairmen attempted to preside.
Great disorder reigned for hours.
The house was in a perfect tur
moil. Policemen from the city
were summoned and these got
the convention to order at 8 p.
m. last night Gilbert F. Patter
son, of Robeson, was elected
permanent chairman. Springer
retired, but Bellamy kept his
place as chairman of the Godwin
forces. The convention proceed
ed to balloting. The Godwin
forces refused to vote in the con
vention, declaring that they did
not recognize the legality of the
organization. They were in the
minority, ratio 104 to 148. There
was much jockeying on the bal
lots. The votes swinging from
one candidate to another. Chair
man Patterson ruled that where
the Godwin forces would not
vote, the vote could be cast by
the minority delegates, : there
fore the full vote of the conven
tion was polled on every ballot
and the Godwin votes' were
counted. The break came at 1
a. m., Hon. 0. L. Clark, of
Clarkton, being nominated. The
house was in wild disorder. The
Godwin forces immediately with
drew, saying . that they would
hold a meeting today with Mr.
Bellamy as chairman to take
action as they may see fit. The
situation was tense. Pande
monium reigned. There was
one fisticuff. Order could not
be secured on the floor for six
hours, until policemen secured
from the city, arived. Whenever
the majority would attempt to
proceed with the business the
Godwin forces would drown out
everything with megaphones,
yells, etc.
It looks now as if the Godwin
element will nominate their man
mf, -twV ctroZBucklen's Arnica Salve--earth's
congress. If this is done tneT . . , , . , - ,
i 1 a i:
matter will probably go to the
state democratic executive com
mittee for adjustment. Many
former Godwin followers are in
censed at the position assumed
by Bellamy and his cohorts, and
the sentiment of course is with
Clark.
THE COW.
The dairy cow, if able to ex-1
press herself in a way which the '
human family would comprehend
might well lay claim to ' being J
man's best friends. She might1
establish such, a claim by calling
attention to the fact that from
her product and from her carcass
man manufactures more of the
necessities of life than from any
other similar source. She fur
nishes these necessities to him
from infancy until such a time
as temporal things are no longer
associated with his existence,
and she does it ungrudgingly
and constantly.
In addition to contributing to
man's necessity and his pleasure,
the prosperity of an agricultural
community is more closely iden
tified with her than with any
other of the domestic animals.
The horse is quite essential in
tilling the soil, but where necess
ity requires it the sturdy son of
the cow can take his place, as he
has t done in every agricultural
section on earth The horse can
only furnish labor and can only
return a profit to his owner when
conditions are right for returning
satisfactory grain crops. It is a
well known fact that the dairy
cow is the salvation of the farm
er in times of poor crops ; as ; she
is 'able to convert the rough
crops which are never a total
failure, into dairy products which
always have a cash value.
In addition to this she furnish
es skim milk and butter milk for
the calves, pigs and poultry and
fertility - for r the soil, without
which a farm becomes less valu
able each year and the whole
country less prosperous.
The-elimination of the dairy
cow would necessitate an almost
revolutionary readjustment of
man's tastes and requirement.
It would mean untold suffering
and hardship. Of course she
will not be dispensed with but
her value can perhaps best be
appreciated by contemplating
such a loss. t
She will continue to be man's
best friend as long as the human
family exists and will keep on
supplying him with his greatest
needs just as she has done
through all the ages.
SPFNDS STAMP TO TEST CENT.
Washington, July 18. One of
the new .Lincoln pennies has
reached a woman at Palermo, N.
D. Its unfamiliar appearance
worried her. She sent a letter
to the postmaster general, saying
she had 4 "one of them new cents
with A. Lincoln's picture on it
and 'Liberty,' " and inquiring
"if it's as good as any. other
cent."r
The writer says in her letter
that the penny bears the name
of the man who made it, "E.
Pluribus Unum," and she wants
to know if it is true that the gov
ernment is paying a premium for
4 'them kind of cents, "
"Ef you ain't the one what
knows," she concludes, "pleas
send this letter to him as does."
A reply containing full enlight
enment has been sent to the
woman at raiermo, North
Dakota.

Relative Effect and Cost
of War and Disease.
The ratl of mortality in war,
for two hnndred years, has been
4 from disease to 1 from bullets.
In the Mexican and Civil wars
this ratio was 3 to 1. In the
Boer war the ratio was 7 to 1.
In the Spanish-American war,
owing to lack of sanitary authori
ty, this ratio reached its maxi
mum 14 to 1. In the Russo
Japanese war, where the laws of
sanitarion were enforced with
rigid military discipline, the ratio
of centuries was reversed, and
the mortality was 1 from disease
and 4 from bullets. ,
More lives are lost each year
in the United States from pre
ventable disease than have been
lost in all our wars combined
Indian, Revolutionary, War of
1812, Mexican, Civil, and Spanish
American. -In ' the Spanish
American war about live sholdiers
died from typhoid fever to every
one killed by shot and shell. The
United States mustered a hun
dred thousand soldiers to rid
Cuba of the Spaniard, and sent
three men to Cuba to rid the
island of yellow fever, the plague
of the tropics. The Spaniard
was driven out and the yellow
fever was conquered. The city
of Havana, from 1850 to 1900,
suffered an annual average loss
of 750 lives from this disease.
In addition, there was an annual
average sickness from this di
sease of 2,250 others. The finan
cial loss through the destruction
of productive energy from death
and sickness, from diminished
trade as a result ' of the preva
lence of a fearful epidemic, and
from expensive and unnecessary
quarantine, amounted to an an
nual average loss of over $200,
000. Since the discovery of the
easy method of controlling the
disease that is, since 1900
there has been an annual average
of only four deaths from yellow
fever in Havana. Most of these
cases contracted the disease else
where and developed the fever
after visiting Havana. Com
merce is now v no longer afraid
to enter this harbor, even when
a case or two of Yellow Jack
(there are never more) exists.
No more expensive and unneces
sary quarantine burdens the tax
payers. And, as in Havana, so
in Riode Janeiro, the Canal Zone
and elsewhere. Major General
Leonard Wood has said that the
discovery of the method of con
trolling this disease saves the
commercial interests of our coun
try each year more than the en
tire cost 'of the Spanish Ameri
can war.
Disease is far more costly than
war, and the results of disease
prevention more
humane and
more valuable to the race. And
yet, of the total annual expen
ses of our National Government
for 1909, $800,000,000, $560,000,-
000 or 70 per cent went for pen
sions and the army and the navy,
or for wars past and wars antici
pated; only 3 per cent was spent
indirectly for health, and only 1
p.er cent was spent directly for
health. Our own State Govern
ment is spending two dollars for
military equipment to one for
public health not too much for
our three regiments, but ..too
little for our people's lives. More
of this next week in a picture
from life, "The Little Mother
and the Big Fat Hog."

the city Monday enroute to Rich
land township where he has
several farm houses to paint.
THE COST OF LIVING.
The high est of living is not
exclusively an American prob
lem. The cost of food is increas
ing slowly but surely in England
Bacon within a month has ad
vanced two cents a pound owing
to scarcity and speculation.
Cheese has gone up two cents a
pound, an increase English peo
ple will feel keenly because
cheese is used more as a sub
stantial food there than as trim
ming to a piece of pie.
Sugar, owing to a short supply,
is up half a cent a pound, while
that English breakfast standby,
marmalade, is up in sympathy
with sugar, says the New York
Sun. Soap, too, has increased
in price and is now almost a cent
a, pound dearer than it was six
months ago, The increased cost
of soap is due to a shortage of
the tallow supply.
Cocoa, however, is eight cents
a pound cheaper than a year ago,
while sardines are a drug on the
market and two cents a pound
cheaper than last year. Butter
is always cheaper in London than
New York, owing to the many
sources of supply Denmark,
Russia, France and Ireland in
addition to the domestic English
supply. Two months ago the
best French butter was thirty
cents a pound; todap it is twenty
six cents. Flour is cheaper than
last year and is down in price
two cents on the fourteen-pound
bag.
Eggs are bringing less than
the New York prices. The best
English new laid eggs are
twenty-six cents a dozen, while
eggs guaranteed to have been
laid the day before yesterday are
thirty cents. Egg and poultry
merchants, however, say that
eggs and poultry must go up in
price before long owing to the
shrinkage of foreign supplies.
The import of eggs during the
last year was 15,000 tons below
the preceding year. Germany
isn't contributing large supplies,
as heretofore, owing to the fact
that German prosperity is enabl
ing the masses of the German
j people to eat eggs nowdays,
whereas in the past they couldn't
afford them.
ROOSEVELT WILL NOT
HIMSELF.
COMMIT
Since the return of ex-President
Roosevelt from Africa ef
forts have been made to induce
him to commit himself politically
both factions of the Republi
can party being anxious to have
him indentify himself with their
particular wing of the party, but
so far all efforts of the leaders
to get an expression from him
showing his attitude toward
these warring factions of the
party have been fruitless. The
weight of his influence is fully
recognized and for this reason
both wings of the party are
anxious to have him align him
self. The ex-President is an
astute politician and every step
he takes may be depended on to
advance the interest of what
ever policy he may favor. Elkin

III. Godwin Nominated,
f:t'i District Holds Another Convention-Ignore
Regular Convention,
Naming H L Godw.n-State'
Executive Committee May
Se.tle Row.
. Wilmington, N. C, July 23-
The
insurgent branch of the
sixth congressional convention
met at noon yesterday and nomi
nated for congress Hon. Hanni
bal L. Godwin, of Harnett coun
ty. He is the present incumbent
and is completing his second
term in the national house. At
the conclusion of the majority
convention the godwin forces
were organized and practically
intact. They immediately ar
ranged to hold another conven
tion, after Clark had been nomi
nated and so at 10 o'clock yester
day morning they -met and the
credentials and permanent or
ganization committee asked for
two hours to complete their work.
The convention re-convened at
11:20 o'clock.
The report of the committee on
permanent organization was
adopted, Hon. Geo. H. Bellamy
being retained as permanent
chairman. Mr. L. S. Peffel, be
ing named as secretary. Mr.
Bellamy expressed his gratitude
for the honor and declared that
"this is the real congressional
convention of the sixth district,
and referred to the use of force
by the organization of the oppo
sition convention last night."
The credentials committee de
clared that all counties were
properly represented except
Cumberland and New Hanover.
Of the Cumberland vote 6.63
were given to Godwin, 33.37 to
Cook. Of the New Hanover vote
11.50 were given to Godwin, and
30.50 to 'McClammy. Congress
man Godwin was placed in nomi
nation by J. C. Clifford,' of Har
nett, who declared for the bene
fit ,of the onlookers, among
whom were as many participants
in the convention of last night as
there were delegates on the
floor, that "you may place a re
publican against him, or you can
place a good democrat against
him, but Hannibal L. Godwin
will sweep the field in Novem
ber." No other nominanion was made
and the voting proceeded at once
only one ballott being required
as a matter of course. The
strength of the other candidates,
according to the credentials com
mittee of the convention, was
voted by the delegates on the
floor and the vote stood as fol
lows: Godwin, 134.54; Claik,
34.96; McClammy, 31.43 Cook,
34 58, McKinnon, 16.11.
A committee was appointed to
bring Mr. Godwin in and the con
gressman made a short speech of
a ppreciation in which he dechie
tne convention of today tue
regular" convention and that
he would pile up the largest
majority the democrats of the
sixth district ever saw.
There were about two hundred
of the five hundred delegates on
the floor today and the action of
the convention of yesterday and
last night was"scrupulously ignor
ed.
There . are two courses that
may be pursued in the sixth dis
trict. The matter may be settl
ed by the state executive com
mittee or the two candidates, O.
L. Clark and H. L. Godwin, may
make the race. In the . latter
event there is little doubt but
that the republicans will place
their strongest man in the field
with excellent chances of winning
