V; TheAgm ination came after She
j had been in session
v, \ .for thirfe days, during which time
j sixty ballots were taken, about an
fv'z Jionr being required to take each
M-i* ballot. Worn out by the inces
'JX , work of the convention,
Jf? ; eleeplese and tired, the men who |
Represent the ninety-eight coun
f" £ ties were glad when the end came.
ft Kitchin had been slowly gaining
since the balloting started and
t"his me'p, the radical element, stood
by him-like the old guard of Na
poleon; Each vote that was ad
.ded stuck. On the last ballot be
fore Home withdrew he received
399 votes or 24 more than lie re
ceived on the first ballot. Craig j
had steadily lost, while Home's
kept about the same,
f? The Craig leaders would have j
gone to Home or the Home men |
to Craig long before today had j
2- they been able to carry enough
T. of their man's votes with them to
nominate the other man. But'
,this was impossible Early in the
game it was found that Kitchin
A • was the second choice of many
Home and Craig delegates. This
also explains why the Kitchin men
stood as firm as Gibralter through |
the trying hours of the long con
test.
£ Following is the result of the
• ballots taken in the gubernatorial
contest at CharLotte, omitting the
I fractions of a vote :

THE OLD SOLDIERS' REUNION.
Mr. Leak Has Something More To
Say About It—He Has Orders Not
To Enroll Those Who Deserted.
East Bend, N. (\. June 27
Danbury Reporter :
The time is fast approaching
when the reunion will come off. I
therefore hope the good people of
Stokes will kindly aid in making
it the best reunion that we have
ever had. I nin very anxious to
know whether you have secured
the girls that will ride in the pro
cession. I also would like for the
girls to select a young man to ride
with them, making a company of
thirty-two in all, which will make
the procession interesting for
everybody. I hope the Walnut
Cove band will attend and
make music for the occasion. We
will have some good speaker to
address the crowd, and 1 am sure
i the good women of Stokes will
1 prepare a basket of good things
for the old veterans to eat; and
my instructions from the Adjutant
General is to not enroll any man
that deserted his post. While
that duty is not pleasant to me, if
: I remain the commander of Stokes
I shall have it to do. Therefore I
: hope those that were so unfor
tunate as to belong to that class,
will not think hard of me for dis
charging the duties tl at are re
quired of me, as I have some good
friends among them.
Please publish the list of girls
and boys who will compose the
riding procession, in order that I
may know who they are.

[lt was the Reporter's under
standing that Miss Mamie Leak
should furnish the list of the lady

Rev. D. A. Binkley, of Danbury,
Thinking Of Holding One On Dan
bury Circuit, In August.
Danbury. June 29.
We have been thinking of
having an old time campmeeting
somewhere on the Danbury cir
cuit this year, possibly near Delta
church or Prestonville, as it. was
formerly known, beginning about
the 14th of August, next, if a
sufficient number of people will
take part in it.
Every reader of this article who
will attend such a meeting is re
quested to write us at once, stating
how many you will bring with you
and whether you can board
yourself and furnish your own
sleeping conveniences, or if you
will want board and lodging while
present.
I Everybody invited without any
reference to denomination..
If a goodly number respond to
this proposition, we will make the
necessary arrangements and an
nounce the exact date and place
later.
