C, dated April 12th, says: "One of the boldest bank robberies that has occurred In North Carolina in many a day was enacted here some time last night or early this morning when yeggomen slipped into town; forced an entrance to the Bank of Orange and with nitroglycerine blew the vault and inner doors and took from the institution between $4,000 and $5,000 in gold and curency. The bank vault was swept practically clean of money, the robbers leaving behind only a few $20 bills and some small silver. Bank papers were not disturbed. "The first intimation that Hllls boro had been visited during the night by yeggmen came when the janitor of the building went to the bank at 6:30 o'clock this morning to clean up. He found the the door open and the vault door blown from its hinges. He promptly notified Cashier P. C. Collins, who hurried to the bank and found that the vault had been robbed of Its valuables. The bank carried burglary insurance and the companies were promptly noti? fled.

C, to Monday's Charlotte Observer says: The news was flashed to town yes terday by telephone that Sidna Allen had been seen in the Saint Timothy section, two miles from Conover. The report was that he went to the home of Rev. F. K. Roof and asked Mrs. Roof for something to eat. He was given food and left, going in the direction of Catawba Springs. Mrs. Roof at once 'phoned to the chief of police here who summoned a posse of men and with automobiles started on the hunt of the noted outlaw. On arriving near the scene they were met by some boys who told them that they had seen this man and talked to him and that he had told them that he had saved ten miles by going straight across the mountain. This further confirmed their belief that it was Allen. The search was continued until late at night, when the party, tired and wornout, returned to town, saying that they believed that the supposed Allen must have been a tramp and that he had caught a pass ing freight train for parts unknown.

The Lincoln Times. In the death of Charles B. Aycock, North Carolina lost a brilliant orator, a good citizen, a successful politician, and a man of at least some claim to statesmanship. Governor Aycock and Marion Butler, reared near each oth er, were friends and college mates during their earjy manhood. No two men in North Carolina since the days of Vance have been more popular with the masses of their respective parties than Aycock and Butler. Men followed them because they loved them because they believed in them personally. Aycock's death leaves Butler undoubtedly with the strong est personal following of any North Carolinian.

Cures burns, boils, skin eruptions, piles- 25c. at all druggists. . . T The Federal office-holding ring and their few "bolting" friends are still busy flooding Wake County with their literature which is filled with abuse and false accusations against the present organization in this county. They are also still using a Johnston County paper and circulat ing it over Wake County trying to tell the Republicans of this county how to vote in the primary, but the "bolters" will find out that Republi cans know how to vote this time Just as they did two years ago without dictation from the Federal office-hold ers. Col. J. C. L. Harris, who was elected Chairman of the handful of bolters two years ago, is now busy sending out literature over the county, which contains matter not in accordance with facts. He has issued what he terms "an open letter," in which he charges that the Republican Commit tee called the Convention too early and not in accordance with the plan of organization. If the Colonel is go ing to write he should stick to facts. He says: "The plan of organization of the Republican party says at least fifteen days' notice must be given be fore the primaries are held to elect delegates to the different conven tions." I have several copies of the plan of organization which State Chairman Morehead sent me and they do not say that fifteen days' notice must be given before the primaries are held, but fifteen days before the Convention. The committee met on April 6 th and called the County Con vention to meet April 23rd, which was giving eighteen days notice, and the notice of the call for the Convention was published in both of the daily papers in thi3 city within the required time, and notices were mailed to every precinct chairman within the required time. Notice was also published in The Caucasian and it was in the Smithfield Journal which has been broadcasted in this county. The meeting of the Executive Com mittee was not a secret meeting, but was held in The Caucasian office, which is a public office, and several others were passing in and out dur ing the meantime. Mr. Harris charges that the Convention was called on short notice In order that it would not reach a large majority of people in the county. The Colonel should know that that isn't true, because the larg? majority of the friends of the present county organization live in the coun try and it was their support that gave us such an overwhelming majority in the Counyt Convention two years ago, and I might add that they will do it again this time in spite of the false charges of the Federal office holding ring and their few followers. Mr. Harris said some knew ahead of time what date the Convention would be caled. This is absolutely untrue, and the Executive Committee themselves set the date, and Tues day the 23 rd had not been spoken of before the meeting. It was held on Tuesday as Saturday would interfere with the church days of many of the Republicans in the county. The Col onel attempts to say the primaries should have been held on May 4th and the County Convention on May llth. What right has he to say when the Convention should be held, and does he know better and than the en tire Executive Committee of the f nnntir? The Colonel speaks of fraud. What were his friends trying to do last time when they had Democrats at his primary and other primaries in the city to try to dictate to the Republicans whom they should elect as delegates? And right now Mr. Andrews and the office-holders have Democratic ward-heelers working for them in Raleigh trying to beat our friends. The Colonel will find that his false charge has missed-fire and such unjust tactics will be resented by the honest Republicans in the county. And when did the Colonel get to be such a good Republican? Didn't he go into the Democratic primary in Raleigh last year and declare that he was a Democrat? And hasn't he vot ed for several other Democrats dur ing recent years. He failed to make a single speech in the last campaign notwithstanding he was asked to do so. In fact, the Colonel's Republi canism has not been on straight since he-held so many jobs under Governor Russel, and now his activities are in the direction of disrupting and dis couraging the Republican party In Wake County, and this after he had talked with Willis Briggs and Chas. D. Wildes. Our Convention is not being called so early. Stanly County held its Con vention about a month ago, and Stokes, Union, Mecklenburg, Samp son, Chatham, Wilson, and others, have already held their Conventions! And there was no cryin those coun ties that the Conventions were held too early. Now, coming to that Smithfield Journal.

They have tried to stir up all this strife and discord in the party, and I have paid little attention to their abuse and false charges, and I be lieve our friends in the county will repudiate their misleading methods. Be sure to attend your primary Saturday and see that you and your friends get justice and send up your best men as delegates to the County Convention. t LESTER P.
