AxhcviHr N. C. o o o o " P THE TOURNAMENT ENDED CLOSING CONTi;STS II V THE FIREMEN. There Waa Grcut Spun for a I.uritc Crowd YcHttrclny After noon on Multifold: Avtime-Tlic "VlNitors I.i'iive ToiIid . Those '.',r00 or :i,0(l()pM'lt' who went out on Mtmlford avenue ustndny nf- tcrniiun to sec I lie lilt nun's r;ices wire re paid for slandiiiK in the lint sunshine lor four hours. Tlic contests were scheduled lor I clock, and tlicy began very nearly on time. After the fust, however, there was uu iinaccotiiitnlile delay between each event. Hut the crowd stood nil this pa tiently, and enjoyed the waits by chin ning and standing along the avenue waiting for something to turn up. When something did turn tip the crowd would yell its best, whether Asheville was in the race or not. It was a thoroughly good natural crowd, the only trouble o! the day being between n colored boy and a white boy, the latter of whom had stepped on the former's toe. The colored boy took out his knife, but Chief Powell was stand ing near and had the boys hustled oil the grounds. I lie judges in the reel contests were J. !!. Donnell, Greensboro, and II. T. Aincr- son, Wilson; starter, Dr. J. W. tii ilhlh, Greensboro; timekeeper, W. A. Karris, (reensuoro. In the loot race L. 1. Kawls, Asheville, and H. T. Aincrson, Wilson, were judges. V. C. Itradsher, Durham, kept time, while I'. C. l'etrie, Durham, was starter. The KveulN. The first contest was a hand hose reel race, distance 15U vanls. The first inoncv in this race was larger than any prize given during tlic'.cmnianiciitluO; second money, $50. The Asheville team ran first. There was a failure in putting on the nozzle and the team was ruled out. Ashevillc's time was 20 seconds. Durham company No. 2 ran next, mak ing the time 32 seconds, Durham Independents No. 1 closed the race. They were expected to beat, their partner team, but couldn't ni.ike it, their time being 33'4 seconds. The next event wus n baud reel grab race, something the Asheville boys had never seen. The distance was H 10 yards, the reel being placed 50 yards from the plug. The men had to grab the reel while running nt lull tilt. The time of the Ashcvillcs was 29 seconds. Durham No t did the work in 25 seconds, and Durham No 2 went them 5 better, making the time 20 seconds. First money was $30, sec ond $20. The horse hose reel contest followed. There was great interest in this race. There were only two entries, Asheville and Greensboro. The rules required the horses to run 200 yards to hydrant, and the unreeling of 288 feet of hose, to show water 50 feet within the 288-foot line. The Asheville boys did the wotk in 1 niinuu '.' t seconds, showing water til the required distance. Greensboro made it in 1 min ute 1 ' i scconds.but showed water beyond the line. Capt. O'Donnell claimed the race lor the Ashcvillcs on this account, merely as a matter of record, and turned the money over to Greensboro. The prize was $50. The 100 yards imlivii1ii.il foot race closed the tournament. 1 Here were nine entries in this event: II. V. 1'ieiicb and ascrN. Hums, Asheville hose company Chas. and W. A. Otter, Asheville hook and ladder company; K. Schelkev, New beni; J. K. Douiicll, K. II. Ileall and W M.Adams, Greensboro; C. II. YVhita kcr, Durham, After the race had been run the judges decided that it should be run over, on tie count ol a wrong start on the part ol all hut two men. rrencliaud Hums won French 'a time being 10:,i seconds, Hums almost ticing him. The second race ended the same way as to winners French making the time 1 1 seconds, and Hums llU seconds. The first pi i.e was $15 and the second $10. The crowd went wild over this race. French and Hums were lifted up anil car ried around on the shoulders of their enthusiastic admirers. This closed the day's nimiscnicnl and the crowd made its way home ward, by car and on foot, very well pleased, with the entertainment given llicm. Uell TiiH. , And the truck was too soft. And Henry l'enland would cross the track. And Mayor ltlautoii looked liappy, as well he might. And the Asheville bovs nozzle should Ik shortened 20 inches. And the crying baby was there, not seeing a bit of fun in it nil. YV lint s the matter with Greensboro s hose wagon horse? lie's all right! And lots ol the people got dampened when "fust water" came Irom the noz zle. And there is more fun in a "grab race than in n cage full of assorted monkeys and parrots. And they do say Have Hanks was there and had to be led out of tbc way n dozen times. And Al. Gherkin hasn't got his fist un- ehneli. (1 yet from that grab he made at the rope and missed. And "Gov." l'owcll nearly ran over a lat boy wno perched on his carnage wheel during the excitement. There wus nothing suggestive of an ice wagon movement in the way Ashe yille's horses !'ew over the ground. l am tvlhs. ol Durham hose company No. 2, fainted from over exertion after the reel race. He soon recovered, how ever. The Durham teams arc a set of whirl- ers nnd Al. Fairbrother's town ought to be, and no doubt is, very much "mushed'' ou tlicm. In the hand reel race Asheville made the mistake of placing her heaviest men in front, reversing the manner ol the Dur ham teams. TiiKCmzi'.Nregrctsllic omission of the name of W. D. Harrington, the foreman of the Ncwbcrn "Atlantic's," in the list of arrivals of lircmen. There were some expressions of fear that the Greensboro horse would not I ru" 1,1 lllc ul,t ln way lie nil tnc grit was (istonisiiiug. The Durham boys say Asheville must stop ovei in their town on their way to Wilmington next year nnd sec what courtesies the town with seven million aires enn show them. Chief W. C. Brndshcr, of the Durham fire department, whooped for Durham, of course, but with that extensive smile, bis own copyrighud article, sang the praise of the Asheville boys all 'round. The decorations on the trucks and reels of the visiting firemen in the parade Thursday were furnished by the Ashe ville lire department. The firemen left for their homes today. The Durham boys gave three cheers for Asheville as the car left the square. May the shallows of the Inddics never grow less! The Greensboro lellows arc bloomers all over. Capl. Stone's hook and ladder men can more than run, and do better than that on a ladder. The hose boys arc just as good, and the crowd didn't tail to find it out. The Asheville hose team is not making excuses, but it is only justice to llicm to say that lor a new company with only a couple of week's practice they did bril liant running. Their time from start lo hydrant was excellent. Asheville has been pleased with all of the visiting firemen and would like lo see them t hem again next year. They tire all whole-souled, good fellows, and when Asheville forgets to remember their visit il will indeed be a frigid day. Three cheers and a tiger for all of them ! The Ourhain Both ThaukH. lunrou Tin; Citizi:n: Allow me, for the entire Durham delegation of firemen, to express through Tin; Citizi:n our heartiest thanks to Fire Chief l'owcll, Assistant Chief Mcl.oud and Capt. O'Donnell especially, anil every member the Asheville lire department as well, for the manner in which our companies were treated during the visit to Ashe ville, livcrything possible was done lor our comfort and pleasure, the "boys" showing by their every aetion that they wanted us to enjoy ourselves. 1 hat wc dill so is attested by every man of us. Merc words cannot possbily express our ap preciation ol the welcome we rcei'-cd. This visit will remain a bright spot in our memories, ncvei lo lie effaced.

I-'rick Should Have Ileeu More Iatleut and the Employes Letm Contentious '-NotuiuK Eor The tioveruiueul To Oo. Washington, July 10. The special committee of the house which has been investigating the iron and steel workers' strike ut Homestead have returned here. Chairman Gates, in speaking of the in vestigation, said that they had not found matters so bad as they had feared and expected. The difference between the strikers and the Carnegie people had uot, however, been adjusted, and, so fur as a settlement was concerned, the two parties were about as far apart now as nt the beginning of the difficulty. Mr. Gates is inclined to Ihcjopinion that both parties lo the dillieulty are at fault. If Flick had been more patient and had taken pains to explain to the men the exact situation as to prices and profits, tli ; trouble might have been averted. So if the Amalgamated union had been less contentious, and had shown a disposi tion lo do what was (air and just, the differences might have been aniicahlysct tied to the satisfaction of all concerned. Mr. Dates did not see, however, howjthe government could take action in the matter. It was not, in his opinion, within its jurisdiction. SETTLE NOMINATEII. Tin I'siial Keiiuliiieiiu Row and a Holt. GidiiiNSiioKo, July 1 1. Thus. Settle, ol Kcidsvillc, was nominated lor congress by the republican coiiiicnlion of the fifth district, held here todav, by a vote of 12':! tola. The convention was organ ized with Mr. Mangiim, of Durham chairman. I lie Anns men took excep tion to some ol the rulings of the tempi: raay chairman and Wi son Carey, ol Laswcll, introduced resolutions that, as the convention appeared not in u mood to harmonize, they adiotiru until some future time. This produced n storm o: opposition from the Settle ranks and the resolution was downed. Carey then bolted the convention, followed by nearly ill of the negroes. Mr. Kay, of Keidsvillc, placed Mr. Set tle in nomination. As all the Amis men had bolted, his name was uot placed in nomination. The roll of comities being called, three ol the number rcluscd to cast their vote, l'.y this tunc the con vention was in a perfect uproar, the nc groes yelling out, on II near Iron! us in November, etc. Mr. Settle in his speech ol acceptance, denounced Hon. I no M. Hrowcr, of Sur V, as the traitor who had caused the split in the convention. Charlotte Ob server. LAST CAI.I. I Io Vou Want lo Work for Carne- tile al Homestead 7 I'll Tsui i'., July 10.

Mot Much to be Done And Only a Small Body lo Do It To Nomi nate County OflicerM An Early Convention Funds Needed. The prohibition county convention wtis late assembling this morning. One weary brother, not a member of the dry organization, drifted into the court house about ten o'clock, the bour at which the convention wus to meet, not to partici pate, as he was not in condition, but merely lo look on. Getting into u quiet corner, he soon fell asleep, and when the bell rang for tbc assembling of the pro hibition hosts, the tired brother awoke with a start an 1 broke lor the door, as he was evidently dry, if not a follower of Hidwcll. It was advertised thai the convention would meet at 10:30 o'clock. The court house I x II did not ring until then, nnd it was 1 1 before the body was called to ordct by Kev. H. S. Tipton, a member of the executive board ol the party in the county. Theie were fifty persons present by actual count when the convention was called to order, including democrats, re publicans, third party men nnd boys, ami at no lime iiu me nutnocr exceed the figure above. There was one colored man in the uudicnc (In motion of J. J. Hill, a commit tec of live was appointed by the chair on cre dentials. The following were appointed: T.J. Candler, W. G. Candler, J. G. Llnd scv, K. I.. Sprinkle, J. M. Stcpp. It was announced that any person pre sent belonging to a prohibition club in the county, should report to the com mittee on credentials. Later it was an nounced that any prohibitionist present was entitled to participate, whether a member of u club or not. The committee on credentials reported the following townships present and en titled to the following votes: Asheville township G, Lower Hominy I), Upper Hominy 2, Leicester 1, ltluck Mountain ;!, West Asheville , Awnnnanoa , Umc- stonc 4, Avery's Creek 3, Keems Creek 3, ISenverdam 2. T. R. Gaines was elected secretary of the meeting. It was moved by I. J. Hill thattcn dele gates be chosen to represent 1! unco in be county in the state prohibition cor ven tion to be held in Orcenshoro on August the 3d. The following were chosen delegates: W, G. Candler, T. C. Westnll, J. I. Hill, R. M. Deayer, D. 15. Cunningham, James McNair, T.J. Candler, John G. Lmdsey. T. K. Gaines, J. B. Cole. I. I. Hill stated that it was important that a lecturer be chosen by the meeting for the western part of the state, nnd also to see what funds could be raised for this purpose, so as to ascertain what amount ofcsnoncy would be needed from the Btatc executive committee. T. K. Guincs offered the following reso lution, which was adopted : Resolved, I hat a committee ol hve members of this bodvto be known ns the ways and meanscouimitlccbe appointed to report ns to the mode and means ol arrying on the prohibition campaign. The chair appointed the following un der the resolution: T. R. Gaines, A. H. Felmct, W. K. West, T. J. Candler, J. L. Young. . 1. Hill spoke ol the need ol an organ for the party in 'dieeounty. T, R. Gaines suggested that the matter be referred to the wnvs and menus committee. . J. Hill spoke of the necessity of rais ing some money. A bill ol had al ready been made, and money was needed to meet it. It was moved that the chair appoint a committee ot five to name a day for the assembling of a county eonven' tion to nominate candidates for county offices. I. I. Hill thought it absolutely neces sary to hold a convention early. Kev. H S. Tipton thought so too. 1. . Cand ler thought a two mouths' canvass long enough, and that the prohibitionists would get currying enough in a light of that length they would get sick enough of it duiinL' I wo months light. W. G. Candler was a prohibitionist and he intended to vote that ticket and no other. Said it was n fight between the democrats and republicans, ns to which could be the biggest liquor party He thought there was a chance for u combine bctwcci. the prohibitionists and the third partvites. He favored an carlv convention. Col. W.I . I ustiec had tried lo die to the democratic party eight years ago but had not "plumb succeeded," but he had made a success of it four years ago. W. R. West spoke in lavor of an early convention, certainly not later than August 13th. Saturday, the 13th of August, was decided upon ns the day for holding the county convention, at which time can didates will be placed in the held for all the county ollices. f. 1. Candler said that a man might not vote for the state or national prohi bition ticket, but "when lie voted with them lor members of the legislature and county officers that made him a full re publican. T his created n great laugh, as Candler lias been a life long member ol that nartv. Mr. l'enland said he might vote lor his old party, the republicans, a little, but he would not vote lor n man that drank whiskey "that is," said he, "when he drinks so yen can notice it on him." On motion the meeting adjourned IMPORTANT DECISION. Dun tt Co. are Responsible for Their Aicents' Reports.
