The th. nomination for the Senate though rh.- r'Kular Republican Convention aouM not do so). Mr. Harris filed his nam; with the Register of Deeds to f voted on in the June primary to w if lie can be the Republican nominee for the Senate from Wake County. But Mr. Harris hasn't got ten the nomination yet. The friends of the regular Republican organiza tion in the county invited Mr. T. M. Franks to enter the race for the Sen ate and they and many others will vote lor Mr. Franks and not for Mr. Harris. Mr. Franks, known by his intimate friends as Cad Franks, is one of the most successful farmers in the county, is a man of fine char acter and is fully competent to fill the position as Senator from this county. He stands high in his home township, Swift Creek, and, in fact, all over the county, and will be the Republican nominee for the Senate by an overwhelming majority. We hope every Republican who wants to see the party grow and be truly represented will go to the pri mary Saturday, June 1st, and vote for Mr. Franks for the Senate and for Mr. A. D. Upchurch of White Oak Township for the House of Represen tatives. Also cote for the list of dele gates and precinct committemeen fa vorable to the regular organization in this county. Even if there are no opposing delegates or precinct com mitteemen in your township go to the polls anyway and vote for Mr. Franks and Mr. Upchurch, for it is a well l;nown fact that the true Republicans do not want a professional bolter and half-Democrat for the Republican nominee for the Senate in Wake You f au prevent it by going to the polls. Mr. Harris has told some one that he is not a Democrat now, but if he was a Democrat last year he might be a Democrat again after the election this year, and the Republicans would hate to think they had helped to put a Democrat in the Senate. Some of the Democrats say that Mr. Harris is the best asset their party has still they say they are not especially anxious for him to go over to them bag and baggage. They are probably afraid he might bolt their next Convention, as he is getting to be a professional along that line. It is also remem bered that he sent out a fraud circu lar over this county just before the Republican primaries in April and made statements that were untrue. Even if Mr. Harris was a full-fledged Republican then he would not be the right man for the Republican candi date, and his Democratic proclivities make his nomination all the less de sirable. The Colonel has sworn once that he was very Democratic, but if he has ever sworn that he was a Republi can the fact has never been called to this writer's attention. It is under stood that he voted for Edwin W. Pou, Democrat, for Congress, and he also took the oath in the last Demo cratic primary. The News and Ob server in giving an account of Mr. Harris' Democratic oath, in its issue of April 19, 1911, says: "The Colonel was ruffled. He raised his voice as he stoutly main tained that for years he had not been a strict Republican, that he had nib bled in Democratic pastures. As to that word 'affiliated why of course he had affiliated with the Democracy. Had he not voted split tickets in the last city and in the last State elec tion? Why, then, should he be ques tioned? 'Out upon you for a meddle some one was what he thought, even if he did not say it. "But the poll-holders, who had ex cused Colonel Loge from the oath on Saturday, had become hard-hearted. The challenger insisted and the poll- holders said: 'No oath, no vote Fi nally Colonel Harris seized on a pen and in a fine large hand, wrote as fol lows: " 'Raleigh, N. C, April 17, 1911 " 'I solemnly swear that I have heretofore affiliated with the Demo cratic party, in that I have heretofre voted the Democratic ticket in part in the last city election and in the State election, and that I will support and vote for the ticket to be nominated to-day. J. c. L. HARRIS " 'I'll sign that said the Colonel The poll-holder looked at it, read it, and asked the challenger if that was not all right, but the chaltenger said no; that Colonel Harris could not qualify how he had 'affiliated with the Democratic party; that twice vot ing split tickets did not make Colonel Harris a Democrat. The Doll-holders. however, thought differently, and the unique sight was then seen of Col. J. C L. Harris casting a ballot to aid in nominating a Democraticticket. Later, another voter, Mr. W. L. Col lins, was allowed to vote under the 19..... apiu ticket' rule. This was a new fangled way of making Democrats for primaries. young ladies screamed for assistance, but owing to the fact that the thun dering hoof-beau of the frightened animal drowned the full import of their cries, no one came to their aid. Just after crossing South Front Street Miss Davis, who is the daugh ter of Captain W. H. Davis, rose and prepared to jump from the vehicle. Although highly excited, her com panions tried to restrain her, but without success. She leaped from the swaying vehicle, miscalculated the distance and struck the pavement with frightful force. The other young ladies remained In the buggy until the frightened animal turned into a telephone pole a few feet further on. A number of person rushed to their assistance and succeeded in remov ing them from the vehicle before either was injured. ' Miss Davis was placed in an auto mobile and rushed to a sanitarium, where medical attention was render ed, but died a few minutes before 10 o'clock to-night. Examination show ed that her skull was fractured at the base of the brain. Catawba Democrats Turn Down the Confederate Soldier. Hickory Times Mercury. Our Democrat friends in Catawba have gone to swapping candidates, seems they have set up an office jockey yard. Two years ago they thought it necessary to run a true and tried war horse, a Confederate vete ran for the Legislature. He pulled them through. The old man by the aid of his comrades, defeated a young man. . This same veteran, with his friends, thought it was due him to receive an other term, feeling that having learn ed the ropes, he could better serve them in another session of the Legis lature. And all along it was thought he would have no oppositon and would receive the nomination by ac clamation. But in the last ten days he has been swapped off for a young horse. Mr. Rabb comes down and Mr. W. B. fGaither goes up. The reason given s, they want "a younger? and more active man."

A divorce case unique in the an nals of the Perry County Circuit Court is on the docket of the May term which convened May 8th at Duquoin, 111., and the outcome is awaited with interest. Albert Reis, a farmer living near Pinckneyville, seeks a legal separation from his wife. The two were married in Ger many in 1855. Twelve years later the husband disappeared from his home leaving his wife and five chil dren. He came to America and mar ried a second time, while his first wife did the same in Germany. Both became parents of children by their second marriages, and in the course of years their second mates died. Reis then wrote for his first wife to come to this country and asked her to marry him again, which she did in 1908. Their last marriage did not prove as congenial as they had anticipated, and now Reis seeks a divorce to free him from his domestic entangle ment. Reis is a man of some wealth, and in the event he is successful in obtaining a divorce decree, there will be complications in determining what portion of the estate the various heirs would receive at the time of a division. He Got His Half. (Mack's National Monthly.) "Can I get any work around here?'' - Duncan was 1U llrhl In OUraco on June t F.lgt i ty-Th reel delegate IreeoL of Which Number Six Holt am! Hold Rump Convention. (Special to The Caucasian.) Goldsboro. N. C, May 17, 1912. The Republican Convention for the Third Congressional District met in Goldsboro on Thursday, the 16lh, to select delegates and alternates to the National Convention. The Conven tion met in the Wayne court-house rromDtlv at 12 o'clock, C. M. Fair- j cloth, District Chairman, presiding. There was a large attendance of dele gates, as the delegates returning from the State Convention at "Raleigh were present and other delegates came in on the noon train. A roll of the nijje counties in the District was called and all the counties were rep resented. Chairman Faircloth called Judge W. S. O'B. Robinson to act as temporary chairman. Mr. J. F. Ken nedy, of Sampson County, was elected secretary. A contest was reported from Carteret County, and also from Wayne County; but the contest f rom j Wayne County was not heard of be-j fore, and no such contest was pre sented to the State Convention. A committee wan elected by the dele gates as a Credential Committee to pass on thes3 contests, and after hearing all the evidence, seated the delegates headed by Dr. George Da vis, of Carteret, and turned down the delegates headed by W. A. Mace, known as the Duncan faction. The new contestants from Wrayne were turned own, as their contest was without merit. Upon the announce ment of the report of the Credential Committee, the contesting delegates retired and the Convention unani mously endorsed the action of the committee. The Convention then unanimously elected ex-Senator Marion Butler and Judge W. S. O.'B. Robinson as dele gates to the Chicago Convention'.'and Dr. George Davis, of Carteret Coun ty, aud D. W. Basnight, of Craven, as alternates. They were instructed for Roosevelt. It was a large and har monious Convention, and enthusias tic speeches wrere made by Chairman Faircloth, Judge Robinson, Major George E. Butler, Hon. J. T. Kennedy, Dr. J. E. Person, J.'S. Basnight, Thos. E. Owen, Dr. V. N. Seawell, and Mr. Grady, of Duplin. The action of the Convention has been highly commended in the wis dom of their selection as delegates to Chicago. Wrhile Senator Butler was not present and was jjLOt a candidate for the position as delegate, and while Judge Robinson was not a candidate, yet their home district was anxious to honor them for their manly fight for Roosevelt and the State organiza tion at the State Convention. It is a significant circumstance that this Dis trict is the home of E. Carl Duncan, and Dr. Cyrus Thompson, yet they were both so overwhelmingly in the minority in their home district, that they did not even control a single county in the district. Of the eighty three accredited delegates to the Convention, they had only five or six delegates present in the Convention who bolted and attempted to hold a little convention of their own, send ing each other as delegates and al ternates to the Chicago Convention. Duncan and Thompson no longer have any controling force or influence in their home district, and much Re publican growth and progress have been made in the Third District with in the past few years since they have been eliminated in political factors. It is still a mystery to the public how Duncan and Dr. Thompson had any strength or following In the State Convention, a Convention which was suposed to be overwhelming for Roo sevelt and it was known that Mr. a Taft man and had j That clntlit who claims to have dUcovered 400 different kind of , tUnUj.

Chicago, 111., May 20. Col. Harry S. New to-night announced United States Senator Ellhu Root as tempor ary chairman of the Republican Na tibnal Convention. The naming of Senator Root oc casioned no surprised. It had been comon gossip in political circles that Senator Root would be acceptable to both the Taft and Roosevelt forces.

A Big Democratic Row Coming. Lincoln Times. Woodrow Wilson's campaign man ager, Mr. McComb3, has announced that if Champ Clark receives the Democratic nomination for the Presi dency, he, along with thousands of other Democrats, will bolt the ticket and support the Republican nominee. Mr. Bryan, in a speech last week in Ohio, publicly charged that Governor Harmon's supporters and Wall Street friends in 1908 tried to buy delegates wh ohad been instructed for him (Bryan) to vote for Harmon. Mr. Bryan challenged Harmon to deny the charge in writing. These are only two samples of present Democratic harmony. I Imprisonment for Lack of Facilities Webb Introduces mil. Washington, D. C, May 14 Heavy penalties for failure to provide ade quate life-saving facilities on ocean going steamships are provided In a bill introduced in the House to-day by Representative Webb, Democrat. Suf ficient lifeboat accommodations for all passengers and members of crews of ocean-going vessels of three thou sand tons or more are made impera tive by the measure, which provides a fine of $10,000 or ten years' Im prisonment as a penalty for each vio lation. He would also force steamship companies to print on each ticket a statement of the life-saving facilities of the vessel, on which passage Is sold. said Rastus Johnson, safe in the: promised Mr. Taft to deliver the votes knowledge that there was not any. "Yes, I want you to collect a bill for me from Mr. Sawyer, the lawyer. He has owed me this bill of $20 for twenty years. If you can get the money I will give you half." Old Rastus went to the business place of Mr. Sawyer and found him among a group of clients. "Mr. Sawyer," said he, "Mr. Jones done told me you owed him $20 for about a hundred years." "You idiot," said Sawyer, coming over to him, ''don't you see you are ruining my business? Here's a $10 bill, now go on." Rastus went back to the merchant and was asked if he got anything. "Well, suh, I got mah half, suh, but you better Watch when you go after yo's, he's right hot over it."

(Honolulu Cablegram in New York Sun.) Rev. J. W. Bashford, Methodist Episcopal Bishop of -China, who is here on his way to the United States, declared to-night that the establish ment of a Republic in China meant the Christianizing of that ancient em pire within the next five years. He asserts that all will not be smooth sailing for the new regime and that it is only a question of time when the Republic will have to send strong forces of troops into the western pro vinces to hold them within the new order of things. "I saw President Yuan Shi Kai just before I left China," said Bishop Bashford to-night, "and he gave me this written message to be delivered to the Western nations. The transla tion reads: 'The new China is estab lished to remain, hut law and order ar eas yet far from being firmly es tablished.
