By far -the most important matter to
lx dealt with by the present general
assembly was the election of a United
Rtau-s Senator to succeed lion. J. C.
Pritcbard. whose tcrni expires ou
March tin. The legislature bwng
strongly Democratic In both branchea,
Mr. Pritehard cotild not hoie to succeed
himself. The candidate most promi
nent on the r-eiuocratic side were, Hon.
C. B. Watson, of Forsyth; Hon. Locke
Crsig. of Buncombe, and Hon. Lee S.
Cverwajn, of "Kowan. The Democratic
cansua hs met and balloted for three
weeks with but little fluctuation in the
result. No one dared claim a nomina
tion for his favorite.
On Thursday nljibt. however, the
caucus selected Hon. Iee S. Overman-
by a break In both the Watson and
Crain forces.

after the war. Ills record as a lawyer
and a legislator is clean, and above
criticism. As a politician his record is
one of conservatism, coupled with ab
solute charitableness towards all who
differeiMrom him.
Tho folldwing account of his nomina
tion is taken from the Charlotte Obser
ver's Haleigh correspondence:
... Raleigh, Special, At ten minutes to
P) Thursday night, Lee S. Overman, oa
the 01st ballot of the series and the
fifth of the night received 73 of the 142
votts of the Democratic caucus and was
ueclarcd its nominee. The excitement
during the whole evening had been in
t?n;o u the Hist ballot (showed a
gradual increase for Overman, and it
wa realized at last to which of the
two, Watson or Overman, Craig had
decided to give the victory.
It has been the finest game and the
cleanest one of hish politics ever
known in the State.
As soon as the election was an
nounced by the chairman, Mr. Morton,
Charles Webb, Craig's manager, moved
to make it unanimous. This waa sec
onded by It. A. Doughton, who was
Watson's foreman. On motion of Speak
er Oattis the chair appointed Messrs.
Webb, Gattis, Doughton, Murphy and
Watts a committee to notify Mr.
Oovermau of his nomination and escort
him to the hall with an Invitation to
Craig and Watson. A mighty cheer
vent up when the candidates appeared
sytd by a preconcerted signal, as Over
iftan sntered the hall, a snow-storm of
Ovsrman ballots, thrown frou the gal
Urlas, covered tbe audience.
Ascending the platform In front of
Am speaker's chair, as soon as tha
deafening applause had subsided, Mr.
Overman said In substance:.
"Would that I could give expression
to tbe feelings of my beart. I ran only
say to you I am glqd, that 1 am grate
ful, profoundly, deeply grateful. This
has been a battle royal but a battle be
tween .Democrats.' (Groat applause.
With tlm exaltation that comes with
surci'sa thrre comes to ino the sad re
flection that two noble Democrats have
been defeated. (Great applause). With
the responsibilities thut are upon me i

bition to worthily bear them. With ob

Interest and pleilgea ts none that will

blessings of God, I Shall devote myself
to the' bef.t intarests of all "the people
of my State and for my party, for
which I have fought for the past 25
years. (Great applause). Great ques
tions are upon us; the very bssal stone
of the temple of this republic equal
rights to all, .special privileges to no
man or set of men needs to be care
fully protected to prevent the encroach
ments by the great trusts and other
combinations that threaten the coun
try'w'lth industrial servitude.
"God bless you all, my friends. For
te gallant Watson and the great Craig
I can but say they are noble In defeat
as they have been In battle. .(Great applause)'.

Mr. Watson said: "It 'was a great
pleasure to him to appear befor the
audience. It la not the first time I
have suffered deieat or been borne
from the battlefield with wounds. As 1
have battled for the Lemocratic party
raid my country for tbe past Ho yeara. J
shall vontlnvse to do so for my prty
and my country."

night in defeat, having . fouRUi the

encroachments of the great common
people thi.a to ba- won tha' victory,
having failed in the leaft of any one of
these particulars, Mr. -Watson toBclud

friends who had atood so devotedly by
him during the contest and for those
on the other side he had no heartburn
ings. He only hoped they would hold
v.p the hands of the genetleman they
had entrusted with the highest office in
their gift.
Mr. Craig began by saying: "A sol
dier has lost his bucktar. but there is
no grief because a soldier has found
it." (Great applause). He said the dis
appointment to him was great, but
there was great compensation in real
izing that this honor had been con

BALDWIN DIVORCE BILL.
At the expiration of the morniu;:,
hour Friday the Bitidwin bill to allow
all divorced persons to re-marry, cam.-,:
up on Its third reading. Mr. Henderson
said that he was satisfied that all the
divorces in North Carolina granted foj
abandonment were unconstitutional
and void because these legislative acts
provided that divorces could be secured
for causes that occurred before the
passage of the act. Hi believed that if
a proper case was taken to the Su
preme Court that court would so de
clare. He quoted from a decision by
Chief Justice Taylor in 1811 to that ef
lect. (Dickinson vs. Dickinson, Mur
phy reports, 1SH page.) He argued that
these acts giving divorce for abandon
ment should be repealed. He moved to
amend the bill by repealing chapter
277, acts of 185, and chapter 211, luws
of 181)3. which would take away aban
donment as a cause f0r- divorce. Mr.
Baldwin said that he was opposed to
divorces and was willing to the amend
ments. Senator Wellborn considered this en
tirely too important a matter to be
lacked on this bill as a rider. Abolish
ing abandonment as a groans for di
vorce ought to be in a separate bill and
be properly considered. Since this
amrndmnnt was to be added he would
vote against the whole bill.
Senator Baldwin was in sympathy
with, the amendment to prevent di
vorces for abandonment and hoped the
bill would pasa as amended.
Senator Mann replied to Senator
Wt lboni advocating the bill and
aim -ndments. The amendment repeat
ing the Beta giving abandonment as a
KrOOTlt for divorce .after January 1,
r.'l'i, waa udopted and the bill passed
the third rcudlijg.
