K.u.i:ii;ii, N. C, Aug. 17.-Rpccinl.
The Third party State convention ad
journed at 1 o'clock this morning. The
platform unanimously endorses the
Omaha platform, demands six per cent,
interest and taxation of ail railways.
Harry Skinner was nominated for gov
ernor hy acclamation. He made a
speech, nt the conclusion of which he
threw u bombshell into the convention
by saying that he would not accept un
less he were given leave to withdraw if
he found that the republicans were sur
reptitously taking advantage of the
Third party to divide the white men of
North Carolina,
The scene was unparalleled. The Ke-
ublican delegates were furious with
inger. Skinner was called on to cj-
pluin, and spoke twice again, but stuck
to bis point. It was demaded that his
nomination be revoked, but be withdrew.
1 here was great uproar and a long ad
journment was taken.
At the niglit session the following
ticket was nominated: Governor, W.
1'. Ivxuni of Wayne; Lieutenant Gover
nor, R. A. Cobb of llurke; Secretary of
State, L. N. Durham of Cleveland; Treus-
rer, W. H. Worth ol Wake; Auditor,

Electors at large, Harry Skinner and
Marion Hutlvr.
Twenty-live counties were not rcprevciil-
d. There wnsasppnkling of negroes.who
spoke several times. Republicans were
at work openly on the platform and
lloor. Chairman Laves and his secretary
were present, Hxum spoke, saying he
would be the first Governor the people
;ive ever bad. T. II. Long bitterly Bl
acked the democratic party and was
pplauded during the entire convention.
The only words against Hie republican
party were uttered by Skinner.
Another Account.
l-'ruiu the Associated Press.
When the nomination of a candidate
for Governor wus reached the name of
Harry Skinner of Pitt was placed before
the convention. It received a dozen sec
onds and bv a wave of unanimity Skin
ner was nominated by acclamation. Mr.
Skinner was called and applauded, aud,
thanking the convention, declared that'.
if he accepted the nomination, it would
be upon certain cinditioiis, one of which
was that if he saw that the third party
would cause such a division of the white
people of this state as to let the repubb-
ins into power in this state lie would
huve to warn them and bid them turn
from danger. This was greeted with
mutterings of discontent and Skinner,
who had left the hall, was again called
for, as the convention was not satisfied
with his position.
r. W. Strand, the third party nomi
nee for Congress, declared he was au
thorized to speak tor Skinner, and
that he was unconditionally in the
hands of this convention, but SI inner
was forced to nimcar again in person.
aud did not satisfy the convention, as
lie did not athrm what Strand had said.
His third appearance did not satisfy
them, anu Skinner withdrew his name
and the convention adjourned till 8 p
m,, alter much contusion and disscusiou
of the question of keeping Skinner on the
ticket.
llemccratB in Asheville are elated over
the turn of affairs in Third party ranks,
and by the nominations of that party's
State convention
Kobt. M. Kurnun, Democratic candi
date for Auditor, remarked, with a
twinkle in his eve: "I am very well
pleased with the ticket. 1 do sot know
Lxum, the candidate lor Governor and
he is an obscure politician that I do not
know. We are all right. It's the best
ticket the Third purtyitca could have
put out for the democrats."

Shui.iiy, N. C, Aug. 13. Mr. and Mrs.

to do some shoping. They took with
them their little boy Charley, 4 years
old. While in a store buying goods lit
tle Charley gave them the dodge, and
when they discovered their loss they in
stituted search in good earnest, finally
getting about 100 persons interested.
Finding his little bnrefoot tracks in the
sand, they followed them, and nt a dis
tance of three miles they came to a creek
and there Charley's little foot prints were
plainly visible going into the stream.
Not finding tracks indicating his exit on
the other bank they went down the
stream in search of his body. At a fen
paces, however, thev found that he had
pulled himself out of the water by some
bushes and had gone on further down
the stream through corn fields and over
fences and ditches, and just as dark was
closing in on the searching party they
came upon him. lie was wet and his
little feet torn by briers, lie bad then

he was going he replied in a brnvc tone:

Tom Watson's Rohv Views-A
Candidate lis Every DlHtrlct.
Washington, Aug. 15. The congress
ional campaign in Georgia promises to
be the most exciting in the history ol the
State. Un to the Inst election, in 181)0,
there had been practically no opposition
to the Democratic candidates, and a
nomination was equivalent to an elec
tion. In districts where there was a
voting population of at liast 16,000 the
maximum number of votes cast was not
over 4,000.
This year the Farmers' Alliance will
place candidates in the field in every dis
trict, and for the first time a compara
tively full proportion of the total vote
will in all probably be polled.
"Tom ' Watson, he of "Congressional
jag" notoriety, is the chief prophet of the
new political creed in Georgia. He de
clares that the alliance will elect five con
gressmen in the state. Before leaving
for home he related some of bis griev
ances and indulged in some speculation
touching the elections in his state. N. Y.

JOCKEYS AMI MOUSES FALL.
Tlie Gloucester Track ;ives Its
Patrons a Thrilling Surprise.
I'nii.MiKi.rinA, Aug. 1(5. At the Glou
cester (X. J.) race track today seven out
of eleven horses in the first race piled up
in a great heap just before the finish of
their four and a half furlong dash.
Riders and animals gave a lifelike
exhibition of a Roman hippodrome
scene minus the chariots. Kicking,
struggling horses aud the cries of the
boy jockeys caused a panic among the
hundreds of spectators who rushed to
the scene. It was believed for a time
that all the boys were killed by the hoof
beats of the maddened racers.
The race track attendants soon had the
jockevs extricated, but the gay :olored
silk jackets of six of the drivers were
dyed with blood.
Four of the boys were picked up uncon
scious, and one ol them die.

Bi'iM Ai.o, Aug. 17. The situation this
morning was not encouraging, but no
violence was done. The New York Cen
tral switchmen struck ul 1 o'clock this
morning and this will lie up nn enor
mous truffle, involve the West Shore and
Lake Shore roads and perhaps all the
lines in Buffalo. The Delaware, Lacka

will also go out under the same condi
tions. The entire tth brigudc of the state

except Grand Master Sweeny, Grand
Secretary and Treasurer Simscott said

GOV. BROWN'S VETOES.
Nearly Eight Months of Legisla
tive Work Useless.
l'KANKi-0RT,Ky.,Aug. 13. Gov.Brown
has vetoed three bills which arc the prin
ciple part of the eight months' work of
the General Assembly. Nothing in recent
years caused the comment that these
vetoes have, and they are being disussed
all over the city.
The principal bill vetoed was the rev
enue aud taration bill. The legislature
last week agreed to adjourn tomortow,
and therefore there will be no revenue
bill until next year, and the corporations
are satisfied, as they will be taxed under
the old bill, which is not so heavy for
them as the vetoed bill.
The other bills were the corporation
bill, which regulated the corporations of
the State, and the geological survey bill,
which provided for the continuance of
that institution.

claimed the order numbered seven mil

tion, deplored the fact that so much
public domain was passing into the
hands of foreign syndicates. He con
tended for government ownership ot
railroads as an ultimatum for the set
tlement of the transportation question

Antimigraine
THE NEVER FAILING CURE FOR
HEADACHE
Absolutely Safe, Perfectly
Sure, and Always
Speedy.
Cares Every Variety of Headache
AND NOTHING ELSE.
ANTIMIGRAINE
Has earned for itself the enviable reputa
tion of being the finest, most effective
and reliable article in the market for the
speedy relief and cure of every variety of
that common trouble, headache. The
immense favor which has greeted it from
all quarters proves its true merits and
acceptability to the public. It is some
thing which almost everyone needs, and
those who have once tried it will never
be without.
For its curative powers it does not
depend npon the subtle influences of such
poisonous drugs as
Antlpvrlne, Morphine, Chlo
ral and Cocaine,
since it does not contain an atom of
either of these. It is absolutely free from
injurious chemicals, and can be taken by
young and old without fear of serious
results. It is not a Cathartic, does not
disarrange the stomach, and contains
no noxious or sickening ingredients.
The peculiar advantages of Antimi
graine consist in its being thoroughly
reliable as a cure for any kind of head
ache without respect to cause leaving
no unpleasant or annoying after eftcts7
as in the case of other so-called "barm
less" remedies. These qualities make it
the most popular and saleable article in
the market, wherever known.
