The Henderson county republican conven
tion, held at the court house Saturday, was
characterized by a largettendance, intense
interest and the utmost harmony. In spite
of the number of candidates for, some of the
offices,'the convention developed into a Vlove
feast." The first nomination was for the legislature;
there were three candidates, and ihe first two bal
lots were ineffective. As soon as the third ballot
was taken, and before the result was announced, J.
S. Rhodes, one of the candidates, moved to make
Ewart's nomination unanimous ; the third candidate,
W.Tr Gibbs, seconded the motion; ! which was car
ried ; and that started a Wave of unanimity; which
swept everything before it. From that time until
the convention adjourned, there was no opportunity
to announce the result of any ballot ; for in every
instance, the defeated candidates, without waiting
to hear the count, moved to make their competitors'
nominations unanimous.
The convention was called to or-
ler by Chairman Staton. . Every
)recinct was fully represented, and
here were no contests. G.,W. Con
lor of Bearwallow was made perma
lent chairman and in a brief speech
hanked the convention for the hon
lor conferred uptonhim. A resolu
ions committee wasappointed ; and
heir report, presenting the resolu
tions (which we publish on page 3)
was unanimously adopted.
For representative, the names of
J- s- Rhodes,gfe.; Ewart and W. F.
Gibbs were presented; Ewart was
nominated. For clerk of the court,
there were two candidates, C M.
Pace and H. M. Justus; Pace was
nominated. For register of deeds,
,two candidates, S. M. King arid F.
It Jones; King was nominated. For
sherifF, seven candidates, J. C. Drake,
L. Drake, A. M. Blackwell, F. M.
Arledge, J. F. Brookshire, L. R.
Rhodes, J. H. Lockett; Blackwell was
nominated. For coroner, surveyor
and county commissioners, the pres
ent incumbents were nominated
without opposition.
R. H. -Staton was re-elected as
county chairman and J. D. Davis as
secretary.
Crabs and Lobsters.
There are many curious points about
crabs and lobsters. Every one of ei
ther genus is provided with a big
claw for crushing and a small clar
'adapted by its shape for cutting a
scissors do. With these two claws
they tear the food they .capture infc
fragments and feed themselves liter
ally from "hand to mouth." But there
is every reason to suppose that . the
claws are intended quite as much for
fighting. as for eating purposes, inas
much 'as such powerful hands are not
needed for devouring the soft food
they prefer.

HONESTY.
If heflosty is the best policy in
business it is also the best policy
when one has done wrong and is
confronted with the question wheth
er he shall confess everything frankly
or make excuses. A transparent
excuse is worse than none at all.
Cured.
Tbe following is a Chinese joke:
In a certain house there was a baby
that annoyed every one by its contin
ual squalling. At last a physician was
called in. He administered a bolus of
the soothing virtues of which he had a
high opinion and offered to pass the
night in the house to observe the ef-
' fects of his remedy. After a few
hours, hearing no noise, he exclaimed:
"Good! The child is cured!" "Yes,"
replied the attendant, "the child has
indeed stopped crying, but the mother
has besun to mourn."
