Hendersonville is the winner of the handsome silver cup offered by the Asheville high school for the best de claimer in Western North Carolina. The contest was held last Friday night at Asheville and the judges unanimous ly awarded the cup to Miss Inez Motz of the Henderson ville high school. The other competitors were the repre sentatives of Mars Hill college, Asheville high school, Weaverville college and Waynesville high school. The program began with a song by the Glee club. Then T. D. Copeland of Mars Hill gave a rendition of "The Angel of Memory". This was followed by Miss Motz of Hendersonville in two tjxief selections, (a) "Minuet;" (b) "SunnyAsheville." Next came "The Strategic Element in Opportunity," by Lawrence N. Creasman, Asheville's representative. "The Lost Soul", by S. W. Jarr of Weaverville, was followed by "We are Conquered, yet are Conquering," by G. H. Ward of Waynesville. Afters song by the Glee club, the judges (Locke Craig, Prof. Hunter and C. F. Toms) announced their decision, unanimously awarding the cup to Miss'Motz. The judges' decision, was made very promptly, for there was no' possible question in their minds as if) the superiority of Miss Motzs effort. The' Mars Hill, Weaverville, Waynesville and Asheville compet- were aHnouricca.cieariy outaistancea Dy tne aouiiy and superior training of the Hender sonville girl. The announcement of the awajrd was followed by a scene which has never been paralleled in this section. An Asheville paper described it-as follows: "The assembly became somewhat riotous. The , women gathered in great numbers, around the judges and tinnultuously de manded an explanation of their out rageous judgment." The fiercest part of the storm raged around Locke Craig who finally "demanded of the school authorities that they furnish him-police protection while he left the building." . ...To the visitors, this remarkable exhibition of "confusional insanity" came as a complete surprise. It had been thought that, with the progress of civilization, th primi tive custom of mobbing an umpire had come to be regarded as a rem nant of the darkages. Asheville had been supposed to have out grown such childish pranks. Among grown people it is customary to take a slight disappointment with out screaming and to show some measure of respect for the award of of an obviously impartial tribunal. Locke Craig, who has long been Asheville's "favorite son," is in p sad plight He . thought that the cup had been offered in good faith for the best declamation, and he made mV award accordingly. The result is that he came near being lynched, he had to flee from the hall, ahd he has lost his chance of the nomination for governor,- an honor .which he has sought lo, these many years!; In vain did some, of his friends try. to . console him by pointing out that he would not have obtained: the nomination anyhow (for his party picks its candidates frofetmalar did pother friends" remind him that, even if he could have obtained the nomination he Tmight , fail, to be elected, as this state , will f soon be republican. ; -Locke Craig is ; discon solate.;, He was rash ; enough to commit an act of, simple justice and his- former supporters .tried to 4 1 Cup ins ine lynch him. The 'accompanying illustration gives a grapliic view of the silver tongued Locke Craig fleeing precipi tately from the scene of the contest: If there should be any future cup contests, they had better be held in Hendersonville. There will be no riots here, and the judges will not need police protection. Baffles the Imagination Editor Times- If the Asheville folks raisecr such a racket because the judges failed to award a declamation cup to Asheville, what sort of a noise. wDl that vociferous hamlet make when the census man fails, by many thousands, to award them the pop ulation which they have been claim ing? It baffles the imagination. Please don't publish my name for fear the Asheville folks might mob me. Law and Order.

The dem ocratic party in Wake county, the metropolitan county of the state, has split; and not only have two factions begun a war of extermina tion, but they are charging and countercharging every manner of infamy. The Daniels-Bailey faction today hald a mass meeting in Raleigh and nominated a ticket from top to bot tom against the present county officers. This ticket is to contest with the "Ins" in the democratic primary June 25. Now some of the democratic executive committee are claiming that perhaps these mass-meeting democrats, who have defiedSthe county committee, have m!ei themselves out of the party and may not be allowed to take part in the primaries. The speech of J. W. Bailey before the mass-meeting today, breathed defiance and denunciation against the present party management He declared that the democratic party in Wake county was now run for selfish ends and denounced, in se verest language, the State Democrat, without naming it, a weekly paper here edited by J. C. Caddell, who was stigmatized by Bailey in the severest terms. He asserted tha,t this paper was subsedized and could not exist when cut off from the county treasury. He also asserted that a county commissioner now carried elections at Wake Forest precinct with whiskey. The platform adopted by the Daniels-Bailey crowd reiterated their previous denunciation of the present democratic county machine, calls for representation at the polls in the coming democratic primary and demands that the county offl ( ers be put on a salary basis.
