? A VANISHING COOL WAVE. '

Better Prospects.
The eold wave whieh waa promised
early in the week and whieh baa been
looked lor so amionsly baa not ma'
terialised yet. Tha situation ia be
coming alarming Witt many people.
The farmers complain bitterly.
The eold wave jnat didn't arrive. It
left the Paoifie coast all right enough,
.aad covered the moot of Colorado with
a heavy snow, but it never reached
Balelgh as it waa deflected by the
southerly winds from the Atlantis
gulf. The northern portion of Texas,
tha western part of Mississippi and
other southwestern sttea reaped the
full benefit of the falling temperature,
but all other states east of the Miatia-
idpi valley awelteied in tha heat just
aa they have for the peat ten daya. It
ia true that the temperature fell aev
at al degreee yesterday, but not enough
to be appreciated.
The weather people are the moat un
kind of all.

THOSE RESOLUTION 1
Some of the Facte Abont How They
Were Prepared. .
Concerning tha resolutions which
were adopted yeatarday by tha silver
convention and published tn full in
tha Pbbss-Visitob, a little bit of hia
tory Is intereeting. The flrst three
resolutions and the fourth down to that
part whieh recommends the voting
for certain candidates for office were
prepared by Capt. S. A. Ashe and
agreed upon and adopted on Monday
night br a considerable number of
Democrats who were interested tn pro
moting tha call for the convention
They were submitted to Mr. Bntler oa
Monday night, wto agreed-te'thwav
bnt be propoaed' tha addition whioh
followed and which Capt. Ashe and
Other Democrats objected, to aa ignor
ing party nominating eonventions.
. But that addition, however, was not
originally prepared by Mr. Bntler. It
sppeara that it originated with some
Democrats, and waa submitted to Sena
tor Butler oa Monday afternoon by
Mr. Whitaker, and waa slightly modi
fied by htm and some of his Populist
friends that night. Senator Butler
piopoaed it as aa addition at a confer
ence attended by himself, Dr. Mott,
Capt. Ashe and others oa Tuesday
morning, when It was objected to be
cause it Ignored nominations Dy con
ventlons.
All Tnesday s there was a discussion of
that proposition, the Democrats pro
posing several substitutes for It one
of them being a recommendation that
the people nsa all honoiabls means to
secure the nomination and election of
such eleotora aa will vote only for can
didates for Preeident and vice-president
who favor the restoration of sil
ver; and that they elect only soon con
gressmen aa favor free ooinage.
But no auggested modification was
agreed to. When the committee of
nine met Tnesday night, Capt Ashe
said he could not accept the additional
resolution, since It ignored party con
ventions, and upon ita being adopted
by the committee, ha did not attend
the convention, Ha thought it went
beyond the call for tba convention.
Bnt Capt. Ashe, in aa Interview, said
ha hoped and expected that mueh good
would result from the convention, and
he much regretted that the Insistence
on the idea embraced in the "addi
tional resolution" debarred him from
attending the convention. Bx-Qov.
Jarvis took the Sims view of the mat
ter and refrained from attending the
convention, aa did some other Demo
crats.
Capt. Aaha waa asked today by the
PBBss-VieiToa for hia eatimate of the
convention and its work, and ha aaid
that the result of the convention dem
onstrated; first, that those persons who
connected the call for this convention
with a movement for a new party were
in" error; second, that those who
thought the convention would indulge
a " euseiug " the administration were
n error; third, that the ailvar Demo
orate who remained away from the con
vention Instead of attending tt and
seeing that ita reaolutiona and action
hould conform to their views, made a
mistake; fourth, that tha gold men
who opposed the convention were right
for their aide.
He said he felt sure that tha result
of the eonvention would strengthen
he eauee of free ailver, and thus an
swer the purpose for which tt waa
called. He also believed that it will
prove greatly to tha advantage of the
Democratic party in North Carolina
and that iathe end nearly every Dem
ocrat in the State will concur th thia
view. A noteworthy fact was that some
of the Demoerata who came to Balelgh
to attend . the convention were more
demonstrative ia tha utterance of ex
treme viewa than the Populists.
Ho- 7 an Accident Started.
Tbe reported wreck oa the CI. C. and
N. railroad proved to be an Imaginary
one. Tne report originated from a
very amaaing i: incident. The pay
train waa standing on the track at a
small station. ' A freight train waa
coming In at a fast speed. Oa it waa
a brakeman whose judgment waa like
good - many other people's: Ha
poked his head from tha aide of a ear
and saw the headlight of th pay
train angina ia front of him. Think
Ing It was oa tha naaia track ha jump
ed, and the consequence is ha ia laid
