Third, we are again reminded of the proverbial saying that, "west ward the course of empire takes its way." We disrember who said this, but we guess he was related to Horace Greely, 'who used to advise the boys to "go west and grow up with the country." This time we see the "runner" winding his way over the western plains and up the gorgeous and sub lime heights of the greaiRockies, and entering with pomp and splendor, that wonderful city of Denver, lo cated 6,000 feet above the level of the mighty sea, and amid the tower ing peaks of those wonderful moun tains. Amid the . glory and splendor of this great convention city, and with applause and promise, once more the "Boy Orator is selected as the standard bearer ol the good old Jef fersonian Democratic party, and now goes out to preach the eniquities of imperialism. Again there is "nothin' doin' ". And Mr. Bryan's attention is' once more called to the distance from Denver, Colorado, to Washing ton, D. C, where the White House is located. Now, comes visions of a great con vention at San Francisco, to nomi nate Mr. Bryan once more. This time on an issue that has once for all been conclusively settled by the American people. Certainly Mr. Bryan ought to make the peo ple believe in prohibition now. Before Mr. Bryan starts to "run" again, he ought to take notice to the widening distance between the con vention cities and the White House, at each successive nomination, by his party, for the presidency; MRS.

EDITH GARREN BURNED TO DEATH SATURDAY A distressing ' accident occurred Saturday afternoon at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hix Garren on South and Second avenue West, when their little 8-year-old daughter, Edith, caught fire and was bo horribly burn ed that she died ten or twelve hours after the accident occurred. The facts in the case as we gather them are about as follows: The chil dren had built a small fire in Mr.' Garren 's yard where they were pre paring wood for the stove. The fire had almost gone out and the little girl was sitting with her back to ward the small fire reading a book, her clothing evidently being nearer the fire than she expected, when she caught fire. Having her back to the fire the flames had begun to spred over her before she realized her danger. In her wild excitement she ran .into the house, but seemed to be unmanagable while the mother did what she could to extinguish the flames. The little girl again rain into the yard when a passer by saw the trouble, drew off his overcoat, threw it around the burning ' child and smothered out the fire, but not un til the, flames had gotten in , their1 deadly ' work. r, I Medical aid was promptly rendered, .but to no avail and ' the little girl died in about COLONEL TAYLOR RESIGNS .

Oates Monday morn ing, Connell Talley, the 17-year-old white boy, and the negro, James Thomas, waived examination upon a warrant charging them with the mufder of J; W. Erwin of Etowah on Monday night of last week, and were committed to jail without bail. They will be tried at the March term of the superior court for this county. The Talley boy has added nothing new to what he told the officers when he was arrested. He says he and Jim Thomas were present when the mur der of Erwin occurred. He says the negro demanded that he go along with Thomas and Erwin down to the pkce where it was represented there waa some liquor, and that he obeyed th. command and went with them. Heidenies, however, that he took any part in the killing of Erwin or that he was a party to or knew anything about any plan to ' kill and rob Er win. He says that when the three men got down to where there was a jug, hid in the woods near Erwin 's house, Jim Thomas told Erwin "there it is, help yourself," or words to that effect. Erwin then, according to Tal ley, stooped down to uncork or pick up the jug, and the negro struck him a heavy blow over the head with a club, felling him to the ground, and that thereafter the negro struck him several other blows, on the head with the club, and then took his pocket bookfrom his pocket This done, Talley says Thomas ordered him to "come on," and the two walked away a short distance from) citT and doubtless the largest gather, where Erwin was killed, and Thomas infc ot Republicans ever assembled at handed him some money, he did not one Pint fa the state will be seen at " ' . .knw,ist how;jtV,t.the'time bt,,fT9go;.Hx lahtfm ijh Tt-.i'J mt. itj t : f mnvArififiii bait liAftn : AarfAaA ' rb ' wp e(. j m"u iuunwe, qua mm frv---, . to take that and get away from there, matter endorsing Judge Jeter C. and that if he ever mentioned what I Pritchard for president came up.

The meeting of the committee Tuesday was the best attended, most enthusiastic- and most optimistic which that body has held in a long while. Questions coming before the committee, at times, evoked stren uous debate, but after the debates were over, and votes taken every body approved and the work of the committee is generally satisfactory to the Republicans of the state. Charlotte, Raleigh and Asheville made strong pleas for the convention. The committee decided that Ashe ville's claim could not be considered very seriously because of the distance delegates would have to travel from the eastern counties. Objections were made to Charlotte and Raleigh by some committeemen, upon the grounds that neither of these two towns was blessed with newspapers, that are fair in their manner of handling political matters. Complaint was made that if the convention should be held in either Charlotte or Raleigh, the press in neither town could be depended upon to report the work of the convention in even a neutral manner. Greensboro wis, therefore, chosen as the convention tlon t0 express their choice for a can- . m . ... tion of the resolution, a temporary organization of the "Pritchard for Prsident" club was offered. Judge Bynum of Greensboro, was elected as president of the club; Dan. W. HilL vice president; J. M. Milliken, Greensboro, chairman of finance com mittee, and Robert H. McNeill, a former Wilkes county man, but now resides in Washington, was chosen as secretary of the club. The commit tee believes there is a good chance for Judge Pritchard to be nominated, and it will leave no stone unturned in its effort to bring about his selec tion as the party's candidate for the presidency this year. The work of the Western North Carolina Republican Club Associa- tion was endorsed by the state com mittee, as well as that of a similar. association in Eastern Carolina , Hon. E. C. Duncan, formerly na tional committeeman for North Car olina, and who was succeeded in that position by Hon. J. M. Morehead, made a rousing speech in which he pleaded for harmony and work, all along the line. With complete har mony in the ranks and a perfect organization from one end of the state to the other, he predicted that i North Carolina . would be placed , in ' ' the .'Republican column as a result; of the election in November.
