' Very Heavy Vote Cast . Hannibal 1 Godwin carried Cumber land county in last; week's Congres sional : primary over Oscar L. Clark by a large majority.

The Board of Canvassers, consist ing of the Registrars of the Congres sional primary held throughout the county, met at the court house Satur day with County Chairman R. H. Dye Esq., and organized by electing Hon. W. U Williams chairman, and Mr. Archie Brown secretary, All, of the twenty-three precincts were represented, and as each was called, the Registrar banded in the of ficial returns, signed by himself and the two poll-holders, and they were tabulated, and then the whole was signed by each of the twenty-three Registrars. ; :-, , Clark men and Godwin men were in the best of humor, and all agreed in various neat little speeches that the primary had been absolutely free from bitterness, and had strengthen ed the Democratic party wonderfully. Several of the speeches were of a high order, and displayed : a lofty party spirit. It was delightful to a Demo crat to be present at such a meeting. While all this was going on in the' Commissioners'' room, Iredeii Meare's was making a speech to the Republi can County Convention in session in the Superior Court Room above. His speech fell very, very flat and but for the occasional playing of a brass band, secured for the occasion, it would have been as if a funeral was in pro gress. C The result of the canvass of the re turns, as given below, shows that Hon. H. L. Godwin received 953 votes and Hon. O. lu Clark 641, giving Godwin a majority of 412 votes out of a total of 1494. This Is a surprisingly heavy vote, in view of the fact that the Dem ocratic vote in the last election was only 1900, and then the polls were open 12 hours instead of 6, as was the case in this primary election. Fur thermore, no speeches were made and the vote was only on the Congression al nomination, whereas, when the 1900 votes was cast, .all the county nomi nees were being voter for, and per sonally interested In getting out a large' vote. . . 'iluro Is to shadow of a doubt but that Mr. Godwin will get a much lar ger vote In Cumberland than he did two year ago. . - - ' ' Godwin.

At the conference yesterday, there were present as rpresentatlves of the Chamber of Commerce and citi zens of Fayettevllle, MaJ. E. J. Hale, Mr. l K. Nlmocks, Dr. H. W. Lilly, 14r. R. H. McDuffle, Mr. T. G. McAllis er. Mr. C. C. McAllister, and Mr. Thomas E. Badger, while the Atlan ic Coast Line was represented by Vfr. George B. Elliott, of Wilmington, issistant general counsel, and Mr. W. fi. Newell of Rocky Mount, general superintendent There was present, also, Mr. John A. Mills, president of the Raleigh and Southport Railway. These parties and the Commission talked over matters at length, the views of the citizens and the railroads being presented and discussed. -For the railroad, Mr. Elliott spoke of the plans' It had for remodeling the present station and that as the final cost of tbe changes which the road proposed to make the amount would be in' the neighborhood of some $22,000. He expressed the view that by this means there would be given to Fayettevllle satisfactory and adequate passenger depot facilities. For the committee, there were re marks by MaJ. Hale, Mr. Q. K. Nlm ocks, Dr. H. W. Lilly Mr. C. C. Mc Allister and others. In these It was set forth that the present depot is inadequate and entirely unsatisfac tory, the general surroundings ill ar ranged and that with actual physical connection, the Atlantic Coast Line j and the Raleigh and Southport each has inadequate depots at distances apart - The plan for a remodeling of the Atlantic Coast Line depot was held not to be at all satisfactory, that j the location did not suit and that what is heeded in Fayettevllle Is a new and modern depot on the line of those constructed by ' tbe Atlantic Coast Line at Goldsboro and at Florence, S. C; that the Atlantic Coast Line had practically two roads coming In, the 'main line and the former Cape Fear and Yadkin Valley, while tbe Raleigh and Southport bad a separate llnei The committee set out the needs of Fayettevllle .. and urged upon the Commission the . absolute need of a new and modern union . passenger station. . At the close of the conference, Chairman Franklin McNeill stated that without a full consultation as to 'all the matters he. would state that the Commission was of the opin ion that the Atlantic Coast Line should erect a new passenger station to the north of the -present station, with umbrella shed taking In the present location of the depot, and that there should be trackage arrangements by which the Raleigh and Southport rail road could use this as a union passen ger station. ; In reply to Mr .Elliott, he stated that with the Atlantic Coast Line owning the location, it would seem' best not to require the Raleigh and Southport to be a party in the erection of tne building, but to enter the station on a rental basis. , the conclusion of the conference is that two weeks Is granted the A. C. Line, to see If It will not construct such a new and modern union depot north of - Its present depot as will prove satisfactory to Fayettevllle, and that if there is not such an agreement reached : that , then the Corporation Commission will make an order re quiring that railroad to erect such a station in Fayettevllle - ' OLD HICKORY CHIPS. ; Alfred Austin has written another poem..'
