The delegates to the State con

Congressional and the alternates
to the state being delegates to the
Congressional. After slight nec-
e=.sary alterations the report was-
s-abmitted and adopted by the
convention.
The following yesolutions were
adopted.
Whereas, there is a wide-spread
movement throughout the
country on the part of the great
rank and file of the Republican
Party for the nMnination of
Thec^ore Roosevelt for President
of the United States, and.
Whereas, this sentiment over'
whelmingly prevails in the Rep
ublican Party of this county as
shown by the result of the Pri-^
maries held in the several Pre
cincts, and also by the expression
from the great majority of the
Republicans who failed to attend
the Primaries:
Now, therefor^ be it reived:
That this Convention, represent
ing as it does the mass and body
of the Republicans of Alamsmce
County, arid desiring to carry out
and execute the wishes of the
members of the Party in our
county so emphatically expressed
do hereby instruct our Delegatee
to the State and CongressionaJ
C jnventions t© cast their votes
ior an instructed delegation to
the Republican National Conven
tion in favor of Theodore Roose
velt as the next Nominee of the
Republican Party for President
of the United States.
The Republican Party of Ala
mance County, in Convention as
sembled, hereby extends to Hon.
Joseph M. Dixon its especial com
mendation for his magnificent
fight to secure the nomination of!
Col. Roosevelt, whom we have
this day endorsed for the Presi
dency of the United States and
we bid him Godspeed in his ef
forts.
We are in full accord v/ith him
in this fight and we believe he
will also be endorsed by the Party
throughout the Nation and given
the fullest credit for the excep-
ti'-r'al ability he is displaying in

The Charming Japanese play
“Cherry Blossom,” by Van Tas
sel Sutphen,. v/ili he given at the
Graded School Auditorium on
i Monday,' April 22, at 8:30 p. ni.
I This play will be impersonated

I faculty of St. Mary’s School,

Also by special request Miss
Davis will repeat the most inter
esting parts of “Merely Mary

who were not so fortunate as to
hear her when she was in Bur
lington before. There will be
music l>etween the acts.
Under the auspices of ladies of
the Presbyterian Church.
How The Count Stands
There v/ill be 1,076 delegates
at the Repilbiican Convention at
Chicago. It will take 539 of these
delegates to nominate. Of the
delegates elected upX to Friday,
321 we^-e claimed for Taft and
298 were instructed for Taft; 140
were claimed for Roosevelt. and
85 were instructed for Roosevlt;
36 were instructed for LaFollette
and 4 were instructed for Cum
mins. Mr. Taft needs only about
200 more delegates to give him
the number required for his nom
ination. There does not appeair
to be the least doubt that he will
have more delegates than he
needs. There is just as little
doubt that Mr. Roosevelt is as
near the nomination and the Presi
dency now^ as he will ever be.
The American people have taken
his measure. Crowds‘of them
flock to hear him just as crowds
of them would go to a Wild West
show, if it were free, or to a lynch
ing, .if they knew it was lo be
held.
The Colonel was beaten before
he started. His only hope has
oeen to defeat his friend and so
far as his efforts will have any
effeot cit aii it will hmi,jly be to
Death of a Good Woman.
The Great Archer who garners
for the skies has again poised his
wings over the Baptist Church
at Haw River. To this unbidden
guest we must however yield
time and place to his dreaded
presence all earthly concerns
must retire.
The latest sister to pay the
great debt, the last to cross the
darll mystic river from our
church was sister Edith William
son.' We wish to say a word a-
bout her life and character. She
had a Christian courage, a Christ
ian charity, a Christian grace.
Her piety was liberal, just, bene-
ficient, it shone in her daily life,
in her kind words and kinder
deeds, her regard, her com
passion for and her duty to man
kind was great. She was always
happy when she saw others hap
py. She was a noble and devot
ed wife and a loving mother and
inestimable neighbor. It was
only to know her then to love
