Negro Republicans of Union coun ty, who were "read" out of the par ty bv Mr. J. J. Parker, the Republi can nominee for Governor, along with other members of their race over the state, met In convention Wednesday night at the Morris street graded school and elected delegates to a sim ilar state convention, which will be held In Raleleh. Rev. R. Allen, "who organiied his race during Red Cross and War'Savings stamp anves. pre sided. J. L. Massey was elected sec retary, and J. A. Sims, treasurer. In a letter to The Journal, the lead ers of the moveiuent say: "The reg ular Republican party of the state has eliminated us from the party. The constitution of North Carolina guar antees us the right of suffrage. We feel, like our white brothers, that the ballot is our most defensive weapon, and a proper use of It Is necessary for the mod and safety or tne state ana nation. We concede the ruling of this country to the dominant race, but since we are forced to share In the bitters, we think we ought not to be maligned because we want to taste some of the sweets." The leaders also say they are going to vote for the best men. which may mean that they are going to line up for the Democratic nominees. One thing is certain, they are not going to vote for Mr. Parker. "I see that the light-house where we used to picnic on the shore has been destroyed by a storm."

'Beware of entrance to a quarrel HiAIUttiEK IS TOO YOUXU," REITERATES MAJOR IIF.ATH Mr. Inte Ka AUo Ik-en Sufficiently Itrwanlett, He Declared in Kimh Ml Waxhaw IjiM Night. Waxhaw. April 30. Major W? C Heath, who is stumping the county for Cameron Morrison, spoke here last night at the Woodman Hall to I larre and enthusiastic audience. Six ty-seven voters, by actual count, were nrmt.nl Thin mitiiher renreoented nearly half of the voters at this pre cinct. Mr. Morrison was strongly eulogis ed by Major Heath for the part he Dlaved In overthrowing negro rule In North Carolina. "Mr. Morrison." he said, "is past 50 years of age. He has spent bis life since maturity In service to the Dem ocratic party without ever having hoon rewarded. He has made a spe cial study of the science of govern ment, and has naa more to ao wun the framing of the Democratic plat form than any living private citlien In the state. He Is a profound stu dent, not onlv of law. but of state and national government: and he la rec ognised as such by the leading men. not only of .our party, nut or me ite publican party: and to the extent that it ren he'rlearlv seen that the nomi nees on. the Republican ticket from r.nrnnr on rinwn would mucn pre fer to see either Gardner or Page nom inated than Morrison." Major Heath dealt courteously with Mr. Morrison's opponents. Messrs, Page and Gardner. "Mr. Page." he said, "has already been rewarded. During his fourteen years In Con gress he drew the salary of $105,000. nmr. than the com blued caoital of the Waxhaw Bank A Trust Co., the Bank of Wlngate, and the two banns or Msrshvllle." - Mr. Gardner was declared to be too voimir tn hold the high office of Governor. "He was made Lieutenant-Governor at the age of 32." de clared Mr. Heath, "and he Is now only 36 years old. By reason of his youth he Is not surnctentiy trainea in governmental affairs to fill the high position to which he aspires." The following letter from Mr. A. vt cianir m-hifh was addressed to the voters of Jackson township, was read by Major Heath: "I regret that I cannot, tor reasons .l..i,l.h vou are aware be With yOU this evening to speak a few words for Hon. Cameron Morrison. . - Xlt three of the candidates for the r. .-. 1 1,. nomination for Governor are personal friends of mine, and I wish that they were running for dif ferent offices, so that I could vote for all of them. But It is a case in wnicn I must make a choice from among friends, and for a number of reasons I have decided to support pur neigh boring candidate. Mr. Mrnson. have known him Intimately for ten years, and there Is not a finer gen tleman In all my acquaintance. ."I have met mm in a numwr leal battles, and have always louuu him a fair and hard fighter and a moat honorable foe. "Morrison is a man who does not know what the word fear means he has bo;h phvsical and moral courage of the highest type. He would make a most superb leader of the Democrat ic hosts of North Carolina this year and one whom every Democrat would be proud to follow. In my opinion, he deserve3 tne nomination score of Ion? and efficient services . - .v.- mv aervlrea fOP which he has never asked or recieved any re ward. . . "If any Demount aouois umi has rendered our party great and valuable services, such a doubting Democrat should took at the attitude of North Carolina Kepuoncaus in wards Morrison. The Republicans oi our State, to a man, want to defeated for the nomination. ian v.. k.i he was largely re sponsible for their being driven from power in tne nineties, wu " ; ., or nower In our State lng UlTMll r , ' . , . since 1898. They also know what he would do for .them on me siuum ti the coming fight. It the Democrats of our State do not recall his power ful services, our Republican friends certainly do. . "I wish to add one more wuiu i ....., to von In the ognt you are making In our county, and It Is this: This is a year wnen w going to need able and valiant men the mum in) our party. Politics, like 'most everything else. Is in a chaotic- condition, and we shall i hrviH hrave and brainy leaders to expound the true gospel of Democracy." Tymlnl School CUwInn. Waxhaw. April 29. The Tyndal school, taught by Mr. B. F. Howie and Miss Ora Lee Porter, closed April 27. No special program pro gram was prepared but all spent a very pleasant day.

AJU llllt.l.l JOHNSOX TKI.IJ4 WHY HK IS FOU MOKIUSOX Well-known llairti'4 I mailer I fiMi tinreil the t Imil'Hte Man I Best Filtttl ti He Uovemor. Archibald Johnson, editor of Char ity and Children, and one of the lead ing baptists in the state, ha come out for Morrison for Governor, giv ing his reasons in the following state ment : "Mori Ition knows the needs of the state as few men do. For a quarter or a century he has given Intelligent study to public questions. He is a lawyer by profession, and a good one, but the study of the science of gov ernment haj been uppermost in his mind from the time he attained his majority until now. He knows the people also and has spent a large part of his public life In going in and out before them, discussing the policies of his party. "He has not accumulated a fortune because of the fact that he thinks more of men than he does of money. He has had a large law practice, but has spent his money on other people ratherthan upon himself. The man most capable oi administering public affairs is not necessarily the man who has devoted himself to his own pri vate fortunes and accumulated a great estate for himself; rather he Is the man who, like Vance and Aycork, is so busy trying to better the edu cational, social and political condi tions of his state that he has neither the time nor the. inclination to make a fortune for himself. "Morrison la a plain man of the people. He rose to his present posi tion of influence in puniic affairs by his own unaided effort. He was not bom with a silver spoon in his mouth but had a fierce struggle, even In his tender years, to keep the wolf from the door. He has not forgotten the pit whence he was digged. He knows every step of the rugged road over which he has traveled. His sym pathy will always be with the man who toils for his daily bread. "Morrison is honest, candid and fearless. He never straddled a public question in his life. Everybody knows hf here he stands. He Is square. He has never learned tne art or dissim ilation. Whether an issue Is popular or unpopular he takes his stand flat- footed upon it and stands there until he is convinced that he is wrong. He H a brave man, as his record In the past abundantly proves. Hetsnotan extremist, as some of his opponents have alleged. He Is a hard fighter, but never strikes below the belt. He Is generous, warm hearted and magnan imous. His enemies are not those he has met In the open fields. "He would not be a governor of a cla?s but all the citizenship of the mate which he love with passionate devotion. "There are many other reasons that I might mention, but these are a few that constrain me to vote for Cameron Morrison." IH-hIIi tf Mr. Fuiitlerburk. Following a long illness. Mr. N. A. Funderburk. a leading citizen tf the ColllltV. died TuKidav aiiernonn at hia J borne In Buford towuslili).

Butler Funderburk. of Buford town ship, are half brothers of the de ceased. Mr. Funderburk's health failed about two years ago, but be did not become seriously ill until last July. At times since then his life had been despaired of, so his passing was not unexpected. He had been confined to his room for nearly nine months. Born in Lancaster county, S. C, on Dec. 12, 1852.

In the home he was an Inspiration and a guidance to his children, and the position which they have attained in life is a testi monial to his upright example and teachings. FIVE PLANS FOK BOXUS VIRTUALLY AGREED OX UNION'S VOTE MAY BE SPLIT IX THREE WAYS From Present Indications, Xone of the (uhematnrlul Candidates Will Receive a Majority, from nreaent Indications. It ap pears that Union county's vote will be about evenly divided between tne three sspirants for governor, Messrs. Pure Morriaon and Cardner. In Mon roe Page and Gardner are leading Mr. Morrison, but th MecKienmirg man is ealnina- new adherents every dav. political observers admit. Wlngate is said to favor Mr. Page, but if the attendance at the Morrison rallv there the other night, at wnicn Major W. C. Heath spoke, can In any way be Illustrative of Morrison senti ment, he has many supporters there. Waxhaw Is said to be a Gardn-r stronghold, but at the Wilson's Old Store precinct It Is believed Morri son will et ninety per cent of the votes. The Marshville Home is waging an active fight for Page, but the other candidates have a following in the township seat. Two prominent and well-known cltlsens of. that town are leading the fight for Morrison. Vni townahln Is said to be strong for Morrison, especially at Indian Trail. Page has a large following In Jackson township, and Esq. Henry MnWhorter, the veteran politician, concedes his township to him. Mor rixnn and Gardner are believed to be in Hi. leail in Sandv Rldee township: while In Goose Creek and New Salem townships all three have adtierems. but there Is no wav to determine who is In the lead. The "strength of the Various candidates In Buford and Lanes Creek townships cannot be de termined. 1 GOVF.KXOIt IX OLD SHOES Louisiana's New Executive Greets Old Clothe Club at Tulane. New Orleans.

These Include," Besides Canti Pay ment, Paid-l'p Iiwuranre and Loans Fix Bonus at $1.25 a Duy. Washiugton. April 28. Republi can member of the house ways and means committee to-day virtually de cided to Include In their soldier relief legislation program a plan of paid up insurance, its value to Increase an nually by compounded Interest, and on which lo,is could be obtained Trom any post-offlee. Witfi this addition, ex-service men might elect any one of the five fol lowing plans, included In the Repub lican program: A cash bonus of $1.25 a day for each day of service; aid In buying farm land to be reclaimed bv the government; aid In buying eup honies; aid in their education; or the insurance. To popularize the last four plans, the Republicans propose to al low $1.75 a day for each day of ser vice, instead of the $1.25 cash bonus as the basis for computing farm and home aid, loans and the amounts of financial aid each man might receive in the form of educational training. The Insurance plan, as much, was said by committeemen to be a "mis nomer" but they declared it was the "most attractive" of any of the five plans. The average period of service for World War veterans was four hundred days, they said, explaining that under the Insurance plan the av erage veteran could receive a paid-up insurance policy of $1,857, payable to him In cash at the end of twenty years or Immediately to his heirs in event of death. , The loan value of the Insurance, denoted tn the legislation as "ad Justed service certificates." woufd not accrue until the end of the third year the plan had been in force, and at that time an ex-service man, with a record of four days service, would be entitled to a loan of $551. This would be the cash value of his "cer tificate" at that time at five per cent Interest compounded annually. Similarly, the veteran of a hundred days' service would be entitled to paid up, twenty year endowment In surance of $464, with a cash surren der or loan of $137 in three years; the two hundred day veteran to in surance of $928. with a loan value of $275: the three hundred day vet eran to Insurance of $1,392. with a loan value of $413, and the five "hun dred day veteran to Insurance of $2,321 with a loan value of $680. This plan, If adopted universally by the World War veterans would coat the government far more than the cash bonus of $1.25 a day, commlttee mensald. Estimating that three mil lion, five hundred and ninety thou sand ex-service persons will be af fected by the bill, committeemen de clared that the ultimate cost of the insurance plan. If adopted by all. would be approximately six billion dollars. The cash bonus. It was es timated, would cost one billion, eight hundred and seven million dollars If accepted by all. ' Heady Recruit.
