Mr. Moore's friends feel very sure of victory, but there will be no let up in their efforts until the nomina tion is declared. COLLIDES WITH AUTO. Boy on Bicycle Runs Into Machine Near the Square. A collision between a bicycle and an automobile near the Square this af ternoon created sorie excitement. The bicycle was riddeu by a messenger boy, and he was speeding along look ing at the workmen on the street force, and ran square into an automobile, which had stopped. The boy was not hurt, but his wheel was badly battered up. The automo bile was not damaged in the least. MISS MELLON HURT. Her Horse Throws Her Against a Tele phone Pole. Yesterday afternoon while horseback riding on Poplar street Miss Mary Neil Mellon, the young daughter of Mrs. Ed. Mellon, was thrown from her mount against a telephone pole and was slightly hurt about the face. Miss Mellon was carried to the office of Dr. Misenheimer, where she was quickly revived. Brilliant Little Songsters Delight Au diences at the Selwyn Masterful Tone Work and Picturesque Cos tumes. An interpretation of the beautiful words, '"The litle children or such is the kingdom of heaven," which fell from the lips of Him who spake as never man spake an inter pretation and an illustration of this divinely r lor; t sentence was the concert of the Roney Boys' Concert in the Selwyn banquet hall last night. In their artless ways, in their pu rity of face, in their untainted glow of health, in their unaffected boyish- ness, in the sincerity of their smile, in the silvery bell-tone of their voices they seemed to throw afresh meaning into the words of Him who was Him self once the Child of Nazareth, and whose clear, sweet voice often have rung out above the hum of Joseph's saw and plane, as He played in the shavings that littered the floor of that olden time carpenter shop. Indeed, these little thrush-throated warblers, in the clean, white of their sailor costumes, looked for all the world like five cherubs upspringing from a drift of summer cloud. Charlotte for a decade almost is indebted to the genius of Mr. Henry B. Roney, of Chicago, for an annual visit from his boys. Though the boy ish faces change from year to year, and the voices too for thus great is the Creator's versatility- the bonnie lads are always equally welcome. And honnie they were in their High land Scottish plaidies, each costume historically correct, Masters Emmet t Duval's representing the clan of Mc Laughlin; Earl Spesshardt's the Stu arts; Tommy Dyer's the Victorian or dress plaid of the Stuarts, (and Queen Victoria's favorite); Fred Giesers the McDugalds and Harry Pearson the Gordons. A lassie, comin' .through the rye, coukVna hae' greeted muckle sair, if she had met one of these brave laddies. The adaptability to difficult classic or to airy and popular tune of these children's voices is remarkable. Their trainer is a master in this and he is an artist in nis selection of costume, military, cotta and cassock, Mexican and the others. All the lads did bravely and Fred Geiser is a little master of the trombone. After the matinee Mrs. Stonewall Jackson was one of those who came forward to compliment the beys and thank them for the enjoyment they had furnished her. They were deeply interested to meet the wife of the great general whose grave they re cently visited at Lexington. Mr. Roney has suffered the amputa tion of a limb since he was last here, having accidentally shot himself with a pistol at his summer home in the ; ines of Northern Michigan. He walks with a limp as a regrettable result of this accident. The concerts here were for the benefit of the Alexander Rescue Home. The regular monthly meeting of the cotton growers of Mecklenburg county will be held at the court house Saturday morning, and it promises to be a banner meeting. There will be several features of it of especial interest to the farmers of the county in view of which a large attendance is expected. Mr. C. C. Moore, ex-president of the North Carolina division of the South ern Cotton Association, will be pres ent to tell about his trip to the Dallas convention. Mr. Moore took a prominent part in the discussions at the convention. He is a member of the executive committee, which is composed ot thirty-two of the best known farmers in the southern states, and conse quently kept in close touch with the business of the convention. This meeting will be the last be fore the farmers begin preparing the ground for cotton planting. It is probable that some action will be taken in regard to acreage, amount cf fertilizer to be used and other things about the planting of the 190S crop. STOLEN MULES RECOVERED. The Thief Trades One Off, and Leaves the Other in the Woods at Grover. Just $20 was the amount made by the thief who stole two mules belong ing to Mr. James Jordan, of Providence, on Saturday afternoon from a back lot on East Trade stret. The mules have been recovered, but as yet the thief remains securely at large. Mr. Jordan returned last night from Grover, S. C, where he located both his mules. One mule was found in the possession of Mr. Dan Lockett, who traded a horse for the mule on Sunday afternoon, giving $20 to b.t. The. oth er mule -and "the -horse, secured from Mr. Lockett, were found hitched in the woods, near Grover. Mr. Lockett got his horse back, but ;he is still out his $20, which possibly jwill keen him from trading again on j Sunday. The trade netted the thiefthe only profit realized from the theft. I The man who stole the mules was 'whites, and gave the name of Wilson, I but further than this nothing more is j known of him. j Mr. Jordan's two mules will be sent ifrom Grover today on the train. The 1 muls were not damaged in any way, and Mr. Jordan is to be congratulated on his clever detective work in running down his propei ty, even if he did not catch the thief.

DOWD Services Were Held at St. Peter's Episcopal Church. The funeral of Mr. Clement Dowd was held yesterday afternoon at 4:30 o'clock from St. Peter's Episcopal church, and a large concourse of rela tives and friends gathered to pay this last tribute to the dead. The services were conducted by Rev. Mr. Harris Mallinckrodt, the rec tor, assisted by Rev. E. A. Osborn. The pallbearers were the vestrymen of the church, Messrs. Heriot Clarkson, T. J. Davis, G. G. Scott, James Ker, Earn est Fields, J. II. Ham, W. A. Avant, T. W. Crews and W. P. Johnson.

Crowder was arrested last night by Constable J. H. Orr just as he was Pbout to start out on his run, and the conductor and train crew, it is said, did everything in their power to keep the officer from getting his prisoner. Crowder was tried on three charges. On the first and latter charges he was bound over under a $220 bond, and in the last proceeding in which the magistrate had final jurisdiction, he appealed and a fine $55 bond was required. The three bonds aggregate ?280. RIP VAN WINKLE. REALTY TRANSFERS. Union Presbyterian Prayermeeting.
