B.-Fresh Vaccine Poists THEO. F. DAVIDSON FOR GOVERNOR Buncombe County Presents Him for the Nomination. Work of the Convention County Democracy. of RESOLUTIONS CONDEMNING THE PEARSON CONTEST, AND EN DORSING THE , PROPOSED SUFFRAGE AMENDMENT. The gathering of Buncombe's Dem ocracy in county convention was called to business at noon today by Chairman J. D. Murphy and the call to order faced one of the most representative bodies ever convened at the "people's call. In his remarks prefacing the organi zation of the convention Chairman Murphy called attention to the fact that an entire new registration would be held for the coming election and he briefly outlined the cogent points of the new election law. He stated that cop ies of the law would be mailed throughout the county. Chairman Murphy congratulated the Democracy upon ' the splendid efforts put forth in the last campaign and said that the harmony prevailing throughout the entire state augured triumphant success for the banner of white supremacy in the coming con flict. In the nominations for officers of the convention Mark L Reed was ehosen temporary chairman and J. P. Kerr was made temporary secretary. The temporary organization was made permanent by acclamation and the work of the convention proceeded under full representation of the pre cincts of the county. FOR. GEN. DAVIDSON. L M. Bourne, from the Fifth Ashe ville precinct, offered the following res olution: "Resolved, That the delegates from Buncombe county to the Democratic state convention are hereby instructed to urge upon that convention the expe diency and necessity of selecting the candidate for the governorship from the western part of the state, to pre sent the name of Gen. Theodore F. Da vidson of Asheville. as that of the strongest leader who could be named for that position, and to use all honor able means and to exert every legiti mate effort to secure the nomination of General Davidson as the standard bearer of the Democracy in the. coming state campaign." E. B. Atkinson offered a motion that the name qf J. M. Campbell be added to the resolution for the position of railroad commissioner. W. W. Jones offered an amendment that the name of B. R. Lacey be in cluded as state treasurer. J. M. Campbell addressed the con vention and in his remarks stated that the fact of there being two candidates from Buncombe might militate against either or both gentlemen and requested that his name be withdrawn. Mr. Campbell said that above all matters in the election the amendment was to him above all else, and thai tor the success of General Davidson he was ready to stake all interests. 'Mr. Campbell's name was with drawn. Discussion followed on the amend ment endorsing Mr. Lacey and urgent appeals were made by James Ransom, W. A Baker. W. W. Jones and O. R. Jarrett that such Instructions should be given the delegates to the state convention. For the purpose of presenting a solid front in the interest of General David son speeches against the amendment were made by Locke Craig. J. D. Mur phy, J. M. Gudger and others. FOR B. R. LACEY. J. D. Murphy read the following let ter from the Central Labor union: "To the Buncombe County Convention: "The Central Labor union of Ashe ville, N. C, at their meeting of March 5 unanimously endorsed the Hon. B. R. Lacey for state treasurer, and most respectfully ask the Buncombe county delegation to cast their entire vote for Mr. Lacey at the state convention. Respectfully, O. R. Jarrett, president; Wm. Francis, recording secretary." Mr. Murphy pledged himself to read the letter of the union in the conven tion. Mr. Jones withdrew the name of Mr. Lacey when Mr. Murphy's statement had been made. The resolution endorsing General Da vidson was then unanimously passed. W. M. Nettles and J. C. Curtis were appointed to notify General Davidson of the action of the convention. PEARSON CONTEST. The following resolutions were read by J. Y. Jordan: "Whereas, in the congressional con test now pending between Hon. W. T. Crawford and Richmond Pearson, be fore the house of representatives of the United States, the said Pearson has succeeded in securing a favorable re port, recommending that he be seated, and that our gallant Crawford be de frauded and robbed of the position to which a majority of the votes of the ninth congressional district elected him. which said report will probably be adopted; and "Whereas, This report recommends that 19,600 voters be disfranchised be cause a negro rapist was lynched by both Republicans and Democrats In Macon county on the night before elec- ; tlon. the said negro having brutally as saulted the wife of a Republican and the wife-of a minister of the gospel in the absence of their husbands; and "Whereas, This wholesale disfran- i chisement of the whit voters of thia district, and especially of the voters of Asheville township. Buncombe coun ty, is attempted because a negro thief and perjurer one J as. W. Harrison who is now serving a , sentence for larceny la the chain gang of Buncombe county, was properly arrested for hav ing falsely and maliciously sworn that a bribe had been offered him by two of the most honorable citizens of Bun combe county; and T." "Whereas, The said Pearson and his Republican supporters have by this contest and these particular acta fairly and squarely placed themselves In sup port and approval of wilful and malici ous attacks and assaults upon the per sons and characters of the good white people of the Old North State; and "Whereas, This same Pearson has Infamously slandered and caused to be slandered our honored fellow citisen, J. Harry Martin, a man of unblemised character;. Therefore, Be it resolved. - by the Democrats of Buncombe county in con vention assembled: That we denounce, condemn and despise this effort to overthrow the will of a majority of the voters of this dis trict and we denounce and condemn the false, fraudulent and malicious sland ers made by said Pearson against the people of the ninth congressional diSr trict in his notice of contest and brief, and we declare that Richmond Pearson and his sympathisers, by having made themselves the champions of a negro rapist and a negro thief and perjurer, should be despised and scorned by ev ery respectable citisen of this district. '2. That we especially condemn and denounce the effort to attach political significance to the lynching of the ne gro Moeley for having made the most brutal assault upon two respecta ble ladies who were assaulted in their own homes, " in the absence of their husbands, when It has been clear- I V -" mere were it ep u Oilcans, "J"""" im jjemoerats au in the lynching party. That we conevy to Hon. W. T. Crawford ourj expressions of esteem and regard, and assure him that this effort to cheat and defraud him only makes his friends and followers more resolute and determined to resent this act of injustice and mete out to hia traducers that which they so richly de serve. The resolutions were carried unani mously, THE AMENDMENT. J. D. Murphy offered the following resolution, which carried: "Whereas, The general assembly has submitted to the electors of the state an amendment to the constitution to be voted upon on the . first Thursday of next August, "And, whereas. We believe that the ignorant negro vote is a menace to the peace and prosperity, of the state; "Now, therefore, Be it resolved by the Democrats of Buncombe county in convention assembled: "I. That we believe that the ratifica tion by the people of the proposed suffrage amendment would essentially promote the peace, prosperity and hap piness of all the people of the state. "2. That we pledge the united and harmonious support of the Democracy of Buncombe county to said amend ment. "3. That we invite the attention of all patriotic men, whatever may have heretofore been their party affiliations, to a careful, wise and judicious con sideration of the provisions of said amendment, believing that the conclu sion will be inevitably reached that the best interests of the state w.U be sub served by the elimination of the igno rant and misguided negro vote and the permanent political supremacy of the white race." A resolution asking the assembly to abolish the present Criminal Circuit court and to establish in its stead ad ditional Superior court districts, offer ed by Mr. Murphy at the request of the county commissioners and many citi zens, was after discussion withdrawn.

Jarrett; No. 2, Hardy Chambersv General Davidson appeared before the convention and expressed his ap preciation for the honor that had been conferred upon him. General Davidson said he thought the west was entitled to the first place on the ticket this year, not only be cause this honor had gone east for many years, but because the battle field of the campaign was to be in the west. The adoption of the amendment should be the paramount issue in the fight. This matter was above party. The welfare of the state is at stake, No judicial tribunal, state or national, had ever given a decision that could be construed into a hint that the plan pro posed in North Carolina is unconstitu tional. On motion of W. J. Cocke the follow ing additional names were added to the list of delegates: E. P. McKissick, George F. Weston, J. A. Roebling, J. P. Kerr. Mr. Roebling declined to act as a delegate, owing to ill health. CLASS IN PSYCHOLOGY. To Be Conducted by Prof. Morton the Asheville College. at Prof. W. H.

But'er Insists That Ewart - Won't be Confirmed INTERESTING FIGURES ON THE WEIGHING OF THE MAIL MAT TER IN THE STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA Washington. D. C, March 10. Spe clal.j The heuse decided its first con tested election case for this session on Thursday. The result was probably gratifying tot most of the Democratic contestee although It resulted in victory for the Republicans. The test. however, showed that there are several Republicans who are not disposed to vote In favor of the unseating of Dem ocrats. The contest was that of Al dridh and Robblns of Alabama. The substitute resolutions, which the Dem ocrats proposed to retain Mr. Robblns In his seat, were defeated by a major ity of four. It should be remembered in this connection that the Republican majority In the house is 14. Mr. Al drich was finally seated when the next roll call was taken by a majority of on ly seven. , Some seven or more Republicans de clined to vote and this emphasized their disapproval of the scandalous method of carrying on election contests in congress.- The case of Mr. Aldrich was a very strong one as election con tests go in the bouse. It was reported from a committee which is noted for its fairness,, committee No. 1. These two facts probably combined to put Mr. Aldrich through and they speak a great deal in favor of the other con testees who have much more reason for being kept in their seats. It has made the North Carolina con- .testees very cheerful, and while noth ing can be said definitely until the vote is taken, there are good prospects for Representative Bellamy and Represen tative Crawford. The argument in Mr. Bellamy's case has been conclud ed here this week before committee No. 2, and the presentation of his case was a very strong one. Mr. Frank I. Osborne made a very strong showing and Mr. Busbee was also very cogent in his talk. Mr. W. W. Dudley of this city, who spoke for Mr. Dockery, is a pension attorney and was formerly fa mous in Indiana for his participation in politics there and for his notable Blocks of Five" letter. There is small prospect that either of the North Caro lina cases will be urged for some little time, ,asthei'oMiig-Wise contest from Virginia, is now occupying the atten tion of the houseand will continue to do so for a few days. If Mr. Crawford's contest is not taken up next week, it probably will go over until some time in April. AS TO EWART. There have been no definite develop ments in the Ewart case here this week, although the rumor is still strong that Mr. Ewart's nomination will be withdrawn from the senate be fore long and that Asisstant Attorney General Boyd of Greensboro will be ap pointed as judge. This program, while forecasted in North Carolina, is not certain yet, although it is very proba ble. Senator Pritchard, as is well known, wanted originally to appoint General Boyd to this place. It was his personal choice, and he so informed the president, who, however, took it into his own hands to appoint Judge Ewart, with whom he had served in congress. Last winter president buc Kinley asked Senator Pritchard to ac cept the nomination himself, as the let ters to The Citizen stated at the time, but the senator was averse then and is averse now to accepting a Judgeship, although there is little doubt that he could have it now if he would like to have it that way. The interesting status of the case, however, is that hourly Judge Ewart's prospects grow less promising, and Senator Butler is very emphatic that Judge Ewart will (Continued on Second Page.) GRACE LITERARY. Discussion on Constitutional Amend ment Postponed. There was a large attendance at the Grace Literary last evening to hear the proposed constitutional amendment discussed. Owing, however, to the ah sence of two of the speakers, J. F. Gul liver of the affirmative, and Captain Patton of the negative, it was decided that this discussion be postponed till ne.xt Friday evening and another ques tion discussed. The question discussed was "Which is the greater evil war or Intemper ance?" The affirmative was upheld by W. L. Baird and W. R. Baird. while the negative was defended by E. P. Stradley and H. A. Coggins. The judges. Major Westall, Mr. Greenwood and W. H. Masters, render ed their decision in favor of the nega tive. By request S. T. Coggins recited "The Shanghai Rooster," which was enjoyed by all. John Morris, at the ctose of the discussion, very creditably render ed "Barbara Frietchie's Flag. THE ROAD MOVEMENT. Meetings of Good Roads Directors and the Special Committee. The condition of the mountain drives near the city and plans for putting them in shape for the summer were considered by the directors of the Good Roads association at their meeting- last evening. As soon as 'the weather will permit, the association will begin work on each drive. A communication was read from Act ing Director M. O. Eldridge of the de partment - ef agriculture, conveying thanks to the association for the res olution ; recently passed asking the members of congress to vote for the appropriation' bill for the department. The committee appointed to consider the question of improvement, of the county Toads held a meeting in the old library building yesterday afternoon. Several plans were considered, and it was decided to hold another meeting next Tuesday afternoon at :30. in the office of H.S. Harkins. FINE HOTEL SITE. SOLD, ' - The J.

CHRYSANTHEMUM SHOW. ueeiaea on at a Meeting of Central Epworth League. An important business meeting of Central Epworth League was held last evening, at which there "was a large attendance. Possibly the most tm portant business before the League was the appointment of a committee to pro vide for the holding of a chrysanthe mum show In the autumn. For of the workers In the Leacrue this is no new enterprise. They have had re lation in such exhibits before and know how delightful a social occasion it makes and how profitable it Is to the Leaguers. According to the plans proposed all persons In the city and surrounding country, except florists, will be Invited to ralsa chrysanthemums and enter the contest for th various prizes that are to be offered. Similar exhibits have been held in other places and have proven among the most interesting and profitable occasions ever held by the League.
