The Republicans of lluncornbc were plit into two widely separated wings when they got together at noun today for their nominating convention. One of the prettiest rows in the history of Western North Carolina politics was on nnd nobody seemed to know how go about doing anything to bring about even a show of hnrmony. The convention was a mixture of Republi cans, Democrats who claim to be "inde pendent," and Third Partyitcs of Pop ulists. The split was on the question of Herni ating a man for shcrilf, and through this the trouble was as to fusion or no fusion with the Populists Jisse M. Morgan the ex D.mocrat and the man who is for fusion, was head of one wing candidate for sheriff and Leicester Ilcrren wns lending the others as his op ponent for the nomination. Morgan was backed bv the Ivy Mor gans, cspccinllv John P., anil Ilcrren had such men its Chid ol Police llurkins, with W. H. Denver and other town Reimbli cans moving heaven and earth as far as they could, tor Ins nomination. Last night ami this morning In lore the convention were spent in tutile elforts to make the two wings Hop together. The forces met separately by last night and planned their line of action, anil tins morning they met jointly in a hull on Patton uud caucused in au attempt to reach sonic agreement. They might just as well have saved their breath however, as they lulled to do any ce menting, and il anything only widened the breach each side wanted the other to withdraw from the fight, and there it was. As llarkms put it alterwarns, the wings merely agreed to disagree uud broke up in a row. Itter Prilchiiid, Major Rollins, 11. (.. vwart and other Republicans were unx ions lor harmony, and they had taken oil their coats and worked lor it, but without success. The Convention Opens. 1 he Republican coutity convention was called to order ut noon toduv by W. W. Rollins, chairman of the county committer, and C. It. More, secretary, read the formal call for the convention. The chairman announced that the first business would be the appointment of committees on credentials and per mancnt organization. On motion ol K Is. Roberts the chair ppointcd a committee of five on perrna ncnt organization. On motion ol i. W. Laiiiion each township was riustcd tonnmc a mem ber ol the committee on credentials Secretary C. B. Moore called the townships to see how many weic rcprc scnten. When Lower Hominy was reached the delegation asked permission to retire I mm the convention. This action was aken by the Hominy delegation bv unanimous vole, the occasion being the determination of the convention to en lorse lessic Morgan, "independaiit," for sherill. Lower Hominy was in fuvor of n straight Republican candidate lor shcriti in the person ol their neighbor, Leicester Ilcrren. l.wurl ajpeakn. Tlure were cluers from just about seven delegates and very mild cheers at that, when II. G. Ewnrt of Henderson villc was called on to make a snctch and npeared on the sneaker's stand. His siicceh was mainly in defense of the idea of fusion and in abuse of cnuiitv govern meat, nnd he "jollied" the Populists very prettily. 1. warts chit-l argument favor of the Populists in North Carolina was that when they held tluirStatc coir veutiou at Raleigh not long ago the cheering could have been heard for blocks. 1 hey were nood citizens, he said, "and not lawyers without clients or farmers without farms, and the Re publicans need not be afraid of treachery if they loin hands with them. the ex Congressman was dehant in talking of Democratic speech-making the Ninth district, anil be vowed with awe inspiring solemnity that he would not agree to let a Democrat speak in the dis trict without a division ol tune being demanded. Ewart evidently saw the drift of things in the IIcrren-Morcan row, tor ut the clos of his speech he advised his breth ren that they had better risk Wasted hours in this respect than to lose the legislature. Then with another off-color story that took admirably well he quit Prllcliard Appear. It was Icier C. I ritchard s turn now and the wav he proceeded to pound Kc publicanism into the delegates was reminder of old times. I'ritcliard's idea of it was that every good citizen in bun combe considered it n luuduble ambition just now to bent the Democracy, no matter how it was acnicveu. rrncnnrci ranted from sheep to sugar and from brandy to rooi-tcrs in his rambling dis course about Democracy. He waxed el oqucnt in declaring that the Democratic party ol the Ninth district had no pint lorm mid that it would be as easv dirt for Pearson to beat Cruwlord this account. He said personal abuse and mrscrti tions are heaped bv Democrats on those lew men who have left the party, and he showed n great sympathy lor this clnss of men. I'ritcliard's advocacy of fusion was less pronounced than Ewart', hut his sympathy for the deserters was straw in this direction. I'ritchurd declared that he understood that the whiskey trust had contributed $(i(),U0O to North Cnrolina politics, mueli of it to be disbursed by Asheville ofliec holders. credeutlala Commute. The report of the committee on erc aentinls showed that all the townships were represented except Lower Honiiiiy fd,A,vtervts Cia,k: Tllc " the latter township were on hand, but they bad no "credit ions accordini! to the report, and a vote of the convention was necessary to let them in. On report of the committee on perma nent organization W. W. Rollins was made permanent chairman of thecon ycnlion and C. U. Moore ai d J. II. Sum ner secretaries. Rollins protested that it was an unexpected honor, but there was no reason to think he meant this seriously. Fusion with the Populists, or "Coal- lition," as Rollins called it, was the theme on which the chaiiman spent UO minutes addressing the convention.

This was a sample of fusion. tfheiin' Now came the ijiieslion of the noiiiiua timi of sheriff, nnd there was a percept ible buzz of new interest in the hall. Jauics T. Myers moved to endorse Jissc Murgan, while P. L. Love, an Asheville colored man presented the name of Win. Jarvis ns a man who could bring the two warring wings together and carry the dav. E. T. lielotc declared in seconding the nomination of larvis that this seemed the best wav to avert the trouble that seemed brewing. William Henderson of Leicester made a similar plea, bu'. Prof. Lipscomb a rcued that they were mistaken, and that Mor gan alone could bring thim together a statement which x:oplc seemed to doubt. Ilcrren s name was brought up in n iniet way, and 11. L. Giidcer followed him in a fiery speech demanding that the convention nominate Morgan. Then Mr. Ilcrren s man got to his Icet, nnd showed tint the angel of peace had been lit win k with some degree ol suc cess, by announcing that lie would with draw his man. This was a surprise all around, and for a moment the conven tion was thunderstruck bv the thought of having no light. At the same tunc somebody withdrew the name ol Jarvis and it looked like har mony for a second, but some anti-Mor-gnn men immediately insisted hotly that the withdrawal of larvis .vas not au thorized and were on the point of de manding a roll call when 1 irvis himself announced that the withdrawal wns straight. 1 ben. with a siiulc ol rare radiance, Mi-j. Rollins put a motion to make Morgan s nomination unanimous. This vote was carried amidst great cheers. and Morgan's candidacy went on record ns being 'endorsed. . h.

There In a I.tKliI Crop lu WrH'trn N c. ThlM vear. Tobacco men were surprised a day or two ago when the first of the season's tobacco wns brought to the city to be sold. This established a new record, as the season does not iqicii as a usual thing until much later. None of the out side I uyers have ns yet conic to Ashe ville. The first break was secured by Car ter's warehouse on Patton avenue. The tobacco was primings of the new crop, and was brought in by 1. P. Lewis ol Haywood. Pricts averaged first rate, from 10 to cents being paid. It is said in warehouse circles that this year's crop of tobacco will not pan out ns heavily as those of forincrycais. The acreage in Western North Carolina is said to be not more than (it) per cent, of the usual size, and although the yield is fairly good ' lie amount of tobacco will be considerably dcc-rcaml on this ac count. The shortage is accounted fir bv the facts that the freeze in March killed many of the plants and in May and lunc, when the growers were about to reect their plants thedrv weather was against them and caused mini v to plant corn instead. 1 here will lie three warehouses in Asheville this season, so far as settled the Banner.
