DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION
Met Last Tuesday. Senator Har
rison Makes Rousing Key
note Speech.
The Democratic National Conven
tion met in Madison Square Garden,
New York, last Tuesday, at twelve
o'clock.
For many days. Democratic leaders
from all parts of the country had
been gathering and setting the stage
for the gigantic meeting. The cam
paign headquarters of the various
candidates were bustling with activ
ity long before the opening day of
the convention.
William G. McAdoo, of California,
anl Governor Alfred E. Smith, of
New York, are the leading candidates,
but there is talk of "dark horses"
and no certainty that either McAdoo
or Smith will be nominated, though
McAdoo is thought to stand the bet
tor chance. North Carolina's dele
gates are pledged to him. The vet
eran William J. Bryan is present as
a delegate-at-large from Florida, the
delegation being pledged to the Cali
fornia man. The Commoner Is fight
kig for peace and campaign con
tribution planks in the platform.
McAdoo supporters claim they will
get 450 votes on the first ballot. O.
Max Gardner, of Shelby, is chairman
of the North Carolina delegation.
Other prominent candidates besides
McAdoo and Smith are the following:
Carter Glass, of Virginia; John W.
Davis, of West Virginia; Oscar W.
Underwood, of Alabama; Ralston, of
Indiana; Gov. Charles W. Bryan, of
Nabraska; and others.
Any of these who fail to land the
Presidential nomination will be vice
President possibilities.
The following are said to be pledg
ed to McAdoo under the unit rule
Iowa, Missiouri, Oklahoma, Texas,
Georgia, Tenessee, South Carolina,
Kansas, Nevada, Washington, Utah,
Idaho, New Mexico, Kentucky, Canal
Zone.
North Carolina, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Florida, California, and
Oregon are bound by primary re
sults. The California man has many
scattering delegates pledged from
other states.
The Smith forces claim the follow
ing states, in whole or in part..
Virginia, Tennessee, North and
South and South Dakota, Kentucky,
Missouri, Washington, Oregon, Utah,
Colorado, Nebraska, Louisana, Flori-
da, Mississippi, west virgma, Mary-
land, Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and
Maine.
It will be seen from the above
that both McAdoo and Smith forces
claim strength in some of the same
states.
The program for Tuesday, the
opening day of the convention, was
as follows:
Called to order at 12 o'clock noon,
daylight saving time, by National

North
Payetteville and Salisbury streets, '
which has been in progress since
June 8, is expected to continue
through next Sunday, June 29. Dr.
L. J. Miller, of Nashville, Tennessee,
who does the preaching, has made a
most favorable impression on the
people of Asheboro. He has a pleas
ing personality, a gift of oratory, and
a deep knowledge of the Bible. Al
though broad-minded, he is not a
modernist, but believes in the old
fashioned religion. The singing con
ducted by Prof. D. Ward Milan, of
Lincolnton, is an important feature
of the meeting.
Two services are held each day, ex
cept Monday and Saturday, one at
nine in the morning, and another at
7:45 in the evening. The leading bus
iness men of the town close their
places of business from nine to ten
in the morning so that they and their
employes may attend the service of
the hour. Numbers of men in over
alls come from the industrial plants
at this time to hear Dr. Miller,

any
ing this, a great campaign has been
waged to get these people to attend
the meetings. Committees of person
al workers have visited the people and
invited them to services.
Large crowds attend twice a day.
During the past ten days many have
asked for prayers and numbers have
been converted.
Last Sunday morning at ten
o'clock, the evangelist held a chil
dren's service, preaching to a vast
audience that included hundreds of
grown people as well as children. The
big tent overflowed and a large num
ber of people sat in chairs extending
back on Mrs. A. K Burn lawn. At
the close of this service fifty chil
dren and young people went forward
for prayers, and later stood to pledge
themselves to the Christian We.
Following the children's service,
Dr. Miller preached a short sermon,
addressed principally to the church
people whom he urged to do their
part in bringing about a great re
vival. At the close of this service the
five pastors of the town stood with
Dr. Miller while hundreds of people
filed past, shook hands with the in
isters and pledged their full support
to the meeting. At the Sunday ser
vice, Dr. Miller requested that, as far
as possible, social functions be omit
ted during the rest of the meeting.
As a result, a number of social affaiis
planned for the week have been can
celled. Special services are being held at
different times this week for fathers
and sons, for mothers and daughters,
and for elderly people. It is an op
portunity for not only Asheboro peo
ple but for the citizenship of the
county to hear one of the leading
preachers of the country and business
should be suspended and sacrifices
should be made in order to hear Dr.
Miller.

MONDAY BEGINS
BIG FESTIVAL
All Kinds of
Special Arrangements
Jury Fourth.
The Firemen's Festival which be
gins next Monday evening, June 30th,
is creating wide spread attention
throughout Randolph County. The
firemen are leaving no stones untam
ed in putting forth efforts to make
this festival, the first of its kind in
Randolph County, a marked success.
Mr. E. O. Heritage with his assistant,
Mr. T. L. McPhen ion, of Burlington,
have been in Asheboro for the past
week making all necessary arrange
ments. Mr. Heritage has had ex
tensive experience in putting on en
tertainments of this kind among
which are those at the Mardi Gras in
New Orleans, in Winston-Salem and
other places throughout the country.
Kenneth T. Miller, the Seuth's
premier decorator, with his assist
ants have reached Asheboro and are
arranging for the street decorations
and those of the business houses,
floats and the Fair Grounds, where
the Festival is to be held. The fire
company has made arrangements with
Mr. Miller to decorate floats for in
dividuals at a nominal price, which
will be set by the fire company. Mr.
Miller has had experience in some of
the larger places in decorating; one.
of the recent ones being in Atlanta
where he decorated for the Elks Con
vention. The Fair Grounds and build
ings are undergoing extensive im
provements, the buildings are being
decorated for the occasion. The north
side of the Fair Grounds has been set
aside as parking grounds. Posters
have been put up practically all over
the county and attractive markers
with arrows saying: "All roads lead
to Asheboro for the great Firemen's
Festival."
Dr. J. G. Crutchfield is in charee of
the sale of tickets and is urging that
the young ladies of Asheboro assist
the fire department in selling the
tickets. He has appointed commit
tees throughout the county. To the
young lady in Asheboro who sells the
most tickets a choice of either a
string of pearls or a wrist watch is
given.
Cash prises will be given to the
persons in the various townships sell
ing the largest number of tickets.
Season tickets for adults (12 in num
ber) will cost $2.00 each and for chil
dren from 8 to 15 season tickets will
cost $1.00. The following are the

townships: . - . .

will be given on the streets each af
ternoon. Among the attractions dur
ing the Firemen's Festival next week
are the following:
Each evening there will be an old
time square dance. It is urged that
contests be had among the different
townships. On the closing night
Alamance County has challenged
Randolph County for a contest in an
old time square dance. The couple
voted as best dancers during the week
will be contestants on the la-st even
ing. The oldest couple dancing at set
will receive a prize.
Proabably more extensive prepara
tions have been made for the celebra
tion of the Fourth than has been in
Asheboro for many years. There will
be a big parade, which will be headed
by Mayor Arthur Ross in a decoratel
car. All persons from the county as
well as from the town are urged to
co-operate in making this parade a
great success end in having a Fourth
of July celebration. The business
men are urged to prepare floats. It
is likely that the various organiza
tions will also have floats. Inasmuch
as the decorators are hero it will be
