STATE DEMOCRATIC
CONVENTION CONVENES.
Chairman Eller Calls Convention To
i gether-Senator Overman Receives
Ovation Mr. J. P. Qook Chair
man of Cabarrus Delegation.
Special to The Times. ,"
Charlotte, N. C, July 14, 1:45 p. m.
The convention was called to order
by Chairman Eller and the assembly
was led in prayer by Rev. Dr. Hutton.
Mr. Eller in a fine speech introduced
Senator Lee S. 6verman, of Salisbury,
who received a great ovation. The
Senator then made a speech to he
convention the like of which he is
only capable of making. The tem
porary organization was then complet
ed and the convention adjourned at
1:30 o'clock. When it reassembles
nomination of candidates will be made.
Judge Allen's friends claim that he
will receive sevety-five majority over
Manning when the vote is taken. Mr.
J. P. Cook was elected Chairman ot
the Cabarrus delegation.
Dr. Harris Figures it Out Satisfac
torily., Charlotte Chronicle. "
Says The Concord Tribune: .." No t
witshanding the fact that practically
all the mills in the "South that are
not closed down are running on short
time, it is .announced that a $400,000
mill will be erected at Chesnee, S. C.
Will Dr. Harris, of the Charlotte
Chronicle, please figure this out for
us?" Easy. When good times for
the cotton mills return they iwill come
in a rush and there wijl not be any
too many mills to take care of the
business. The depression in the mill
business is but temporary. The shut
down and the short-time policy is
merely one to hasten the return of
cotton mill prosperity. It works a
temporary hardship, but in the end,
the wisdom of it will be seen and felt.
The cotton mill is, and will continue
to be, the South's greatest asset. As
early as last January, as good an au
thoritv and as keen an observer as
Colonel Wm. E. . Holt, told The
Chronicle that there vas "a. very dull
summer ahead, but that in the fall
things :would begin to improve. V We
have never known Colonel Holt to
miss it. ' . -
Manuals for Teachers' Institute Work
' Issued.
A manual for teachers - institutes
is just issued from the state depart
men of education, fortise in the teach
ers' institutes now under way and to
be held in every section of the state
during the summer and fall. There
are C8 counties in which these insti
tutes will be held' this summer, the
law requiring ttrat counties must hold
the institutes at least once in two
years. There are engaged in this in
stitute work about 60 of the best ed
ucators of the state and practically
every public school-teacher in the
state will attend one or another of
these institutes. State Superinten
dent Joyner declares that the purpose
of th,e manual is to "secure definite
n ess, uniformity and continuity in the
work of -county institutes and sum
mer schools and to make this work
more effective by professional im
provement and professional promo
tion." The motto of the enterprise
is declared to be the. famous declara
tion of the late Dr. Charles D. Mc
Iver, "The teacher is the seed corn
of civilization and none-but the best
is-good enough to use. "

! W. A. Thomasson, father of Bessie

Vestal have contributed $70 toward

men. . ...
There are no new developments in
he case. The physician and his "wife
are still connned in urumora jaii.
There 'will be no preliminary hear
ing and court does not convene un
til August. Nothing has been heard
from Maynard. The Owen girl will
recover. The man in this case, a

CITY ALDERMEN MEET.
Policeman Isenhour Resigns Another
Street Eoller to be Purchased No
Jeffries-Johnson Fight Herts Dr.
Houston Declines to Serve on Water
Board.
The board of aldermen held the reg
ular monthly meeting Tuesday night.
There nvas no special business of im
portance to come before the board
and the usual routine was gone
through with.
The following are some of the busi
ness, matter that came up for their
consideration:
The colored members of the fire
department requested the board to
appropriate $o0.00 to aid them in de
fraying their expenses to the tourna
ment, which meets in Winston-Salem
in September. Keferred to the proper
committee, with power to act.
Policeman Isenhour tendered his
resignation as k member of the police
force of the city. The resignation was
accepted but the board deferred the
election-of his successor. ..
Dr. 11. Mi. King called attention to
the fact that the street 'force needed
another roller for packing streets. He
was authorized by the board to pur
chase one.
At only one time did anything like
an even near-discussion arise and this
was whenMderman Props t, suggested
that the board take some action as to
whether ' the pictures of the Jeffries-j
Johnson fight should !be exhibited
here. Two of the aldermen very can
didly admitted that they possessed a
desire to take a peep at the pictures
but the three other members of the
board present evidently entertained
different views and the vote :wtts three
to two against the exhibition of the
Wr1?, rTn '
Dr. . C. Houston formally notified"
im; uuaxu mai ue aecimea to serve as
a member of the water board, tp which
position he was recently elected. Dr.
Houston was forced to take this step
on account of the press of other bus
iness affairs. The members of the
board did not hesitate to express their
regret over the inability of Dr.-Houston
.to serve and since the time it
has been known that-he would do so
they have brought every pressure to
bear on him in the 'hope that he
might reconsider his action. Th" mat
ter of selecting another member of
this board was postponed for the pres
ent. The water board is preparing to'
issue bonds and make extensive .im
provements on the plant.
The ordinance in regard to bill post
ers ' was again suspended for thirty
days. . -
The city attorney was requested to
draft an ordinance governing the
closing hours of all restaurants and
drug stores in the city. The ordinance
will -be presented and passed at the
next meeting of the board. Alderman
Barrier, who made the motion for such
an ordinance, said that there had been
a number of complaints made on ac
count of young men loafing around
these places on Sunday, and espec
ially during the hours of service at
the churches. Every member of the
board expressed himself as favorable
to such an ordinance.
The board adjourned until Tuesday
night when .it will meet with the
members of the. police fprce to com
plete the work of preparing a new
city code. ".

Horse, WagQn and Driver in a High
Dive Act.
A horse belonging to Mr. A. B.
Pounds and hitched to one of his coal
wagons ran awray, or rather made a
high dive off the high embankment on
Corbin street, at the intersection of
Skipwith street, Wednesday about
11 o'clock. A party of young people
were in a machine en route to the
depot when they met the horse. When
the machine first made its approach
the animal showed no indications of
being frightened but the instant the
machine glided, past him he made one
mad dash toward the embankment
and horse, wagon and driver were pre
cipitated to the gulley below. It is
remarkable that the outfit escaped
with so little damage. The shafts
and harness were broken but no other
damage was sustained. The -horse
was driven by Mr. Butler McCurdy.
