Special to The News.
Asheville, N. C, June 17. With
over 400 delegates in attendance, the
tenth annual convention of the Grand
Council of North Carolina, Improved
Order of Redmen, convened in this
city at Knights of Pythias Hall, at 9
o'clock this morning, Grand Sachem
E. A. Ebert, of Winston.-Salem, pre
siding. Elaborate preparations have been
made by the local tribes to give the
visiting Redmen a pleasant time, and
the program of entertainment is a
large and varied one. Last night a
reception was tendered to the visit
ing braves by the local members of
the order.
The Hon. Locke Craig made an ad
dress of welcome on behalf of the
city of Asheville, which was respond
ed to by the Hon. H. E. Weatherford,
of Nashville, Tenn., Mr. J. Ford, wel
comed the visitors on behalf of the
Redmen of Western North Carolina,
the response being by E. A. Ebert,
the grand sachem.
A well selected program of vocal
and other selections was rendered and
refreshments were served.
Much business of importance to
the order in this State, will be trans
acted by the Grand Council during
its sessions, which will continue two
days:
Dividends Omitted.
By -Associated Press.
New York, June 17. The Lake Erie
and Western railroad comptny omitted
the semi-annual dividend of the com
pany's preferred stock. The Cleveland,
Chicago and St. Louis omitted their
semi-annual dividend on common
stock.
Mr. Pharr Wins in The
Race for J he State Sen
ate; Dr. Walker For
Treasurer And Mr.
Wallace for Sheriff.
Under the clear sky of an ideal sum
mer day the Democratic primary ot
Mecklenburg county, for state and
county officers, was held yesterday.
The results show several distinct sur
prises. The chief one was that in the
race for governor, Col. Ashley Home,
of Johnston county, polling the largest
number of votes with Messrs. Craig
and Kitchin about even. The keen
rivalry between Craig and Kitchin
caused more interest than that be
tween any other candidate. Mr. Craig
polled a larger vote in the city than
did Mr. Kitchin, but the latter's vote
in the county put him ahead of Mr.
Craig by 5S votes.
In the race for county treasurer, Mr.
J. W. Stinson and Dr. J. H. Walker
ran close. County returns last night
encouraged Mr. Stinson's friends, but
Dr. Walker's vote was increased in the
city returns. His majority was 569.
The race for county commissioners
was exciting until the last. It was
believed for awhile that a second pri
mary would be necessary, but with the
votes of the larger precincts to swell
the totals, all uneasiness was early
removed. Messrs. Dunn, Henderson,
Long, McKee and Newell polled the
largest votes.
All the candidates for the shrievalty
were very popular men, but Sheriff
Wallace won the race by a good ma
jority. State Officers.
