Attorney McRae Will Not be-in the Running j Again. , r . ,v'': ;-.-.v:- ;:v Serene juiet almost innocuous deseutude that characterizes the mayoralty situation-to-day, that is, as compared with the ebullitions of the political pot as recorded by the seis mograph and other shake-up record ing instruments yesterday- morning early, and for several days prior. The report that there would be an other candidate afield to-day to take the place -which was urged so diligent ly upon Mr. J. D. McCall, but was re fused has not materialized at least nobody could be found who was able tCKsay that they ha.d heard anything definite about the matter. Mr. Ti W. Hawkins' nomination and election now seems a matter of cer tainty, and people all over the city are almost jubilant over the prospect of a noiseless campaign, free from oratorical mud-slinging and reputa tion bespattering that is often charac teristic of the average campaign. All of these things a kind providence this year seems to have removed far away, and the city, can now rest in peace until Mr. Taft comes in on the Twen tieth to wake ijup the town from its comparative state of serenity and slumber. - Mr. .McRae Will Not Run. Mr. J. d. McRae, who has' made for the city a conscientious and faith ful city attorney for two years past, declared this morning that he would not be a candidate for re-election at the hands of . the board or aldermen, and those who know Mr. McRae, un derstand that this is final with him. During his tenure of office he has made many friends and enemies, well their numbers are small. He has won tife highest esteem of every. city offi cial with whom he has had to deal and his work in behalf of the city is appreciated in no merely formal way by his large following of frrenda, Mr. Nixon City Attorney. Mr. Brevard Nixon who has been instrumental in bringing about the harmonious fusing of all factions in behalf of Mr. T. W. Hawkins for may or, will be the next city attorney, it is generally understood. Mr. Nixon has., taken. a live hand in the cam paign, and while he was understood to have favored Mr. J. D. McCall at first, he declared, after Mr. McCall's non-acceptance of the mayoralty race was generally admitted, that the best thing to do would be to bring all fac tions together for one, man, and this nas been accomplished well, as far as can be known at the Dresent moment. une discussions political to-day were f centered largely on the question of who shall be nominated for aldermen on ' the harmony ticket which has proven so. popular, with Mr. Hawkins heading the list. In several of the wards the ticket appears to have been practically determined but the inter ested workers are putting in a good deal of time to-day in going over the field, and ascertaining the most likely men to put forward. In the fourth ward there is a move ment to re-elect the present members, Messrs. Ernest Williams, G. G. Scott and Patrick M. Cave. This proposi tion is strongly backed by a large number of voters, but no decisions have been reached in the matter. It appears to be a case of unwillingness on the part of the three aldermen named, but their friends believe that if all of the three will consent to run on condition that each of the other two shall do likewise, that there will be some chance of making up this ticket in Ward 4. Thus the situation is gently settling down to a state of harmony and peace, and if there is to be another candi date in the field, his identity is not yet known. Republicans to iut out -ncice. At a meeting of the steering com mittee of the (Republican city organ ization last night, it was agreed that this committee shall recommend to the central committee that a full tick et from mayor down shall be put out. This would probably have the effect of stimulating the Democrats to great er activity and lend to the contest just enough spice to make it Inter esting. The Republicans claim that they can elect their candidates in two or three wards of the city a,nd should this appear probable these wards will be little storm centres for a few weeks to come, until the' primary shall have settled the whole business practically with regard to the mayoralty and at least nearly every member of tne board of aldermen.

"IF IT'S DRUGSM NEGRO BOUND OVER ON ASSAULT CHARGE Monroe Watson Must Answer to Higher Court for Drawing Pistol on Little Nine-Year-Old Girl. A case attracting considerable at tention before Recorder Smith this morning was that against Monroe Watson, a negro apparently about 45 years old, charging an assault upon Daisy Stutts, a little white girl, giv ing her age as 9 years. The assault in nnAstinn was alleeed to have tak en place Satuuday afternoon in North Charlotte, at which time It is claimed Watson drew a pisioi on the little girl. Th srirl was DUt on the stand and testified that she met a negro on the street Saturdav afternoon who had a pistol in his hand and the hegro put the pistol near her face ana toia ner he was going to kill every one in the neighborhood, upon which she ran home and told her mother. The girl gave a description of the . negro who she claims did this, that corresponds with Watson, but upon being asked if the negro was in the court room and the negro was in the court room, him. She also testified that no one saw the act and that she thought no one heard of it until she went home and told her mother. She also testi fied that a little way from where the threat was made upon her that a number Of small boys were playing marbles and that the negro went to them and kicked their marbles out of the ring and cursed the boys. Marvin . Fisher, a small white boy, was introduced and stated that he was one of the boys engaging In the game of marbles and that he remem bered seeing the negro pass, in com pany with several other negroes, but that he did not curse them or in any way act offensively. 5 Watson was then put upon the stand in his own behalf and testified that he had been in the city Satur day afternoon and had. gotten the pis tol Which he had had repaired by a gunsmith and was. carrying it home, had removed the chamber from the pistol and was carrying it in his hand to prevent a violation of the law. He remembered seeing a little girl but did not speak to her nor did he draw the pistol oh7any one in a threatening manner. He stated that he had gone to South Carolina Saturday evening to visit his mother and returned Sun day evening. He had been informed that the police were after him for the offence before he left. He is em ployed by a Mr. Brown, on his farm near the city. Several witnesses were introduced who testified that Watson was not un der the Influence of whiskey and no one knew that he had committed any such act as the one charged. At torney F. M. Shannonhouse, who rep resented the defendant stated that the defendant left the city on Saturday evening owing to the fact that his em ployer was abent and that he could not have furnished bond. Mr. Shannon house had known the defendant for years and had represented him In a case some years ago in which a ma licious charge had been preferred against him for retailing, at which time he had introduced several sub stantial citizens as character witnesses and proved the negro an exceptionally good character. The present charge he considered greatly enlarged as a result of childish Imagination provok ed by wierd tales told them as to the numerous atrocious crimes perpetrat ed upon white girls by negro fiends. The recorder stated that he could hardly believe that the negro in so ber condition and In his right mind could have been guilty .of such an act and were It not for the fact that the negro ran away for' the time, he Would be inclined to dismiss the case; The evidence of an innocent child could not. be ignored and that the evidence of the child would have to be taken as probable cause and the case would have to be carried to the high er court. The defandtn's bond was fixed at $25. Several other cases of minor im portance were .disposed. . : : Favor Shaw, Toomey and Valaer. . Editor Evening Chronicle. The voters and taxpayers of Ward '2 will be satisfied with Thomas M. Shaw, T. C. Toomey and C. Valaer to repre sent them on the board of aldermen.
