Monday was a bu9y day for the politicians. Public addresses by Congressman Gudger, Hon. J. J. Britt and; Judge Blythe, and a Re publican county convention held the attention of a large crowd dur ing the greater part of tho day. Many people from the county were in town,' drawn by the political events advertised for the day and by the fact that Monday was the first day of court. A delay . in the arrival, of Judge Webb gave the crowd the oso of the court house until noon. First came the address of Hon. J. J. Britt, Republican candidate for Congress from this district. He had a large, enthusiastic aud ience, and among the audience was his opponent. Congressman Gudg er, His speech was well pleasing to his friends. He pledged him self to vote for a state-wide prim ary, and called his opponent to task for accepting mileage and for being absent from so many roll- calls. In' the afternoon Congress man Gudger also had a good aud ience, and all the Democrats praised his speech very .highly. He an swered Mr. Britt's charge with re gard to accepting miteage and being absent at roll-call by reading Mr. Britt's record in the State legislature, which showed that Mr. Britt had done aboutj the same thing so far as principle w&s con cerned. The second event of the day was the Republican county convention. This was called to order by Chair man' C. C. Lisenbee, with W. M. Pratt and E, M. Crawford acting as secretaries. All the precincts were represented except Broad River. Upon motion the chair appointed as committee on resolu tions Dr. George I. White, L. W. Williams and D. A. Kanipe. While the committee was preparing the resolutions Judge Blythe, of Hend ersonville, Republican candidate for solicitor," being- present, was called upon for an address. The resolution committee reported tne following resolutions, which were adopted unanimously: We, the Republicans of McDowell County, in convention assembled, thia the 21st day of September1, 1914, do hereby resolve that: let.' We heartily endorse the jise and economical coarse that oar county commissioners bare per nod daring the present term- , . - 2nd. We (tot carrying oat tbe strict provision; of the law as to our pabllo schools,- and In ererT Instance where ther can be Improved we ardent ly demand oar officers to do so, . 3rd. We favor the election of the County Board Education and Superin tendent of Public Instruction by a vote of the people. 4th. We are nnqualifiedly opposed to the the'use of either money or liquor for the control of elections, and invite the Democrats to join ut as heretofore la a written agreement to refrain from the use of money or liquor or any thing else only for legitimate expenses. In carrying on the campaign. 5th. We are opposed to the segrega tion of the taxjtt as outlined in the pro posed amendment to our Constitution, and pledge our rotes against it. . 4 After the adoption of the reso lutions, the convention proceeded to the nomination of candidates for the several county offices. N. C. Jones was placed in nomi nation for the Legislature, bat he declined, giving as his reason his desire live peaceably at home rather than endure b'o turmoil and worry of a politic&tcampaign. W. -J. Soother was then nominated, but his name was later withdrawn. At this point J. G. Pyatt was nomi nated 6y acclamation. The convention then proceeded to ballot for Clerk of Superior Court, there being two candid ates. E. K. Hild and T. L. Epley. The ballot resulted in the 'nomination of E. K. Hild, the vote standing Hild 41 and Eoley 5. For Sheriff, J. A. Lauchridge was nominated by acclamation; in like manner the following nomina tions were effected: Register of Deeds, J. Clay Conley; Tress a re r, W. H. Hawkins; Coroner, Dr. L. L. Williams.- The present Sur veyor, A. B. Halford, was defeat ed by Ernest Crawford,' For Com missioners the following names were placed in nomination: A. It Bird, W. J. Souther, C. A. Mc Call, M. C. Caldwelf, JohnLonon, L. A. Chapman and J. M. Kanipe. Kanipe, Lonon and Chapman were nominated. - The .nomination of Kanipe was mado.over his protest, and ho declared that he would not accept. The proceedings of the. conven tion we ra harmonious, there- being but little dissatisfaction expressed. It has been hinted that ono of the defeated candidates has threatened to bolt bis party. : An examination of the above ticket and a comparison of tho anno with tho ticket nominated by the Democrats last week will con vince any one that principles and not men will bo the issue" beforo the" voters of McDowell county this fall. Western North Carolina Fair, Asheville, Sept 19. With ar rangements rapidly n earing com pletion for the fourth annual West ern North Carolina Fair which will bo held at 'Ashevillo October, 13, 14, 15 and 1G, the indications aro that tho approaching exhibition will be largely attended. Western North Carolina Day will be observed on October 15, and plans are going forward to make this a' gala day at Asheville. For tho accommodation of the immenso throngs which are expected to go to Asheville from all of the rur rounding counties, the management of the fair association has perfect ed arrangements for the operation of special trains on the Southern railroad, and tho trains doubtless will be largely patranired. The North Carolina Department of Horticulture, the Southern Rail way Domestic Science fruit cul ture and dairy exhibits and the State Test Farm special exhibits have secured space at the fair be lieving that they will be able to reach thousands of people in 'this manner. These exhibits, aro of great educational value to tho housekeepers, agriculturists, horti culturists and stock raisers of this section of the State, and the man', agement is fortunate in securing them for exhibition at the ap proaching fair. Of more than ordinary interest is the announcement that ilartiu'i Fireworks company will make a pyro technical display each evening. This concern is one of the best known in the country, and was te cured at great expense. Entries are being received frora several of the counties of Western North Carolina, and "so great is tho volume of entries that it has been necessary to increase the floor space of several of tho departments. A collision of steamers on tho SL Lawrence river Saturday re sulted in the drowning of 14 per sons, members of the crews ana members of families of lighthouse keepers.
