Francis Womack t The Insurance Man" 22 Years Experience. i W i 1 REPUBLICANS Taft Forces in Control Too Much for The whole, story of the National Re publican Convention in session at Chicago may' be Kummcd up in the statement that the Steam Roller baa mashed the Big Stick. Gol. Roosevelt has been voted down at everv step from; the opening proceedings on Tues day till now by virtue of the National Committee's work in seatin&r Dracti- cally all of the Taft delegates. The only question to be determined is whether the Colonel will lead an open revolt or will bide his time for 1916. Nothing approaching the charges and counter charges of corruption and downright stealing being bandied at Chicago has ever been seen in the country. Such a spectacle must be disgusting to American citizens re gardless of party. Whatever one may think of Mr. Roosevelt; he is undoubtedly the choice of the Republican masses, but the interests are determined to defeat his nomination at all hazards. Chicago, June 20. Five minutes was the entire duration of the two ses sions oj the Republican national con vention today, with a recess of four hours between. TJie first session con vened at noon, lasted four minutes; the second, one minute. Chicago, June 20. Col. Ropsevelt tonight indicated that under certain conditions he might withdraw from the Republican party and take the lead in the formation of a new party. "If the people want a new Progressive party. .I'll be in it," he said. The conference of Roosevelt dele gates tonight decided that there would be no "bolt" frcni the regular conven tion.; The plan of the Roosevelt dele gates tonight is to make a last stand on the report of the credentials com mittees If delegates claimed by them to he fraudulent ate seated, the Roose velt forces will remain in the conven tion until the end, but will not vote. It is the plan then to nominate Rcose evlt and claim regularity lor him. Roosevelt has not definitely commit ted himself to the latter part of the plan. He is considering the advisabil ity ot delaying action for several weeks and then summoning an entire ly new convention. Roosevelt said tonight that he would make an independent fight for the presidency if, he was convinced there was a popular demand for him. Roosevelt made it plain that he would not support a compromise can didate nominated by the convention as at present constituted. I Chicago, June IS. Against thrjeats and charges and bitter invective by the Roosevelt forces, the Taft support ers in the Republican national conven tion today put through the first por tion'of their pro?ram by electing Sen ator Rcot, of New York, temporary chairman. In 6pite of the fact that Victor Rosawater. chairman of the national committee, eonsjstently ruled out of order every motion of the Roosevelt forces, it required more than five hours to reach a vote on the temporary chairmanship. . The calling of the roll was beset with difficutlies from the first name on the list of delegates, but in the end, when the tumult had died away, Root found that he had won by a vote of 538 to 502 for Governor Francis E. McGovern. of Wisconsin, with 14 scat tering votes and four not voting. BOTH CLAIM VICTORY. Tonight both the Taft and the Roos evelt forces are claiming that this vote indicates that their candidate is absolutely sure to win. The. advan tage appears to be with the President,, however, for while he is sure to lose some of the votes cast for Root, it is claimed that he will gain, if instruc tions are lived up to, some of the votes independently cast for McGov ern. After Root's election, when he came to the platform, the 'welcome to him lasted perhaps thirty seconds. NEGROES WITH TAFT. With few exceptions, the negro Southern delegates stood fast for Taft; THE STEAM ROLLER MOVES ON. Chicago, June 19. The Kooseveltj forces met their second defeat lorces me tutu: - - RprnVliran national invention today Keputiican national conveni J in a session which bad lor its oui- IN . COUNCIL, and the Steam Roller the Bis Stick. standing feature a remarkable .demon stration of nearly an hour's duration in honor of Governor Herbert S.' Had ley, of Missouri. All the Roosevelt delegates joined iu this demonstration while some of the Taft States lent a voice. The ovation to the Missouri Executive was quickly interpreted by many of the delegates as the possible forerunner of a boom for Hadley for President. One enthusiastic Pennsvlvanian jumped to i the stage and called : "Three cheers for Hadley, the next President of the United S ates.'V Governor Hadley led the fight on the convention floor to oust nicety two contested Taft delegates and to seat 92 Roosevelt men in their places. The convention finally refused to en tertain the motion by a vote of 564 to 510. I . This transferred he fight to the com mittee on credentials, appointed just before the convention adjourned until tomorrow noon. I I Governor Hadley made a remarkably strong presentation of the Roosevelt side of the case, to the effect that none of the contested delegates who had been seated by the National Com mittee should be entitled to vote on their own cases. This in effect, was the text of his great speech which re sulted in his becoming the real hero of the occasion. It Was regarded as a masterly effort, with thousands saving that the Missourian was destined'to become the compromise candidate. It recalled to mind the incident in the Democratic convention of 1896 when v William Jennings Bryan was made the nominee of the party, fol lowing his great speech of the "Cross of Gold and Crown of Thorns." When Governor Hadley appeared on the platform he was accorded a great aemonsfratffcl ies were on their feet, whistling cheering,-yelling, pounding chairs and stanmping their feet. Watson and Root joined in conversa tion with Hadley as he stood waiting for the wild welcome to cease, but! it went on and on. Hats were thrown in the air. One enthnisastic negro delegate raised an unbrella and cast it above his head. ; When it was announced that the Taft motion to table had been carried by a vote of 564 to 510 the Taft folk hroke into a cheer. The vote on the temporary chairmanship yesterday had been 558 for Root to 502 for Governor McGovern. Prior to announcing the vote Chair man Root said that Governor Hadley had made points of order against any of the ninety-two contested delegates voting and he had fullly considered the matter during the calling of the roll.. He over-ruled all the points. " No man," asid Senator Root, "can be permitted to vote on the question of his own right to a seat when it is questioned; but this does not disqual ify any delegate on the 'roll of the convention from voting on another man's right to a seat or froJn partici Dating in any other regular business ot the convention. "Otherwise any minority could se cure control of a deliberate boiv by grouping a sufficient number of their opponents in one motion to give them control of the uncontested dele gates. " Senator Root quoted the precedents of the national House of Representa tives. "If this contention were upheld," he added, enough seats could be con tested so that there would be no dele gates to do business." Defeated, the Roosevelt forces made no further moves. Senator Root then put the motion of Mr. Watson, made yesterday, that the standing commit tees be appointed. It, was adopted without objection. The names al ready sent tn by the State caucuses were not objected to and the commit tees were annuonced. - f . After the convention committees bad been announced and meetings for each scheduled for tonight the con vention adjourned at 5:50 until noon tomorrow. - Judge Alton B.

A wedding of great interest to the people of . Reidsville and throughout the state was that of Miss Gertie Har ris and . Mr. Perry Sloan which took place at eleven o'clock Thursday morning, in the First Presbyterian chrnch. . The church had been beautifully and tastefully decorated; potted plants and waterTlil(es being used foe decor- ation. iae reserved pews were marked vp 1th white ribbons caught at each end with, bunches of , graceful water-lilies. Just before the bridal party entered Mrs. Francis Womack sang with much expression, Until Then." Immediately? after the song as Mr. ( Womack played the Wedding March, Mrs. A. D- Barnes with Mrs. Mantbn Oliver, Mrs. Aif Galloway with Miss, Miss Mary Balsley, Miss Annie Barnes with Miss Bet Hall and Mrs. Walter Lovelace with Miss, Jean nette Boiler, all beautifully dressed in white lingerie, came slowly up the two aisles and took the front seat fac ing the altar. Then came the ushers, Mr. Chas. Harris, Mr. Aleo Sloan, Mr. Jesse Fetzer and Mr. Robt. Sloan, who crossed in front of the altar tak ing their places on each side. The Maid of Honor, Miss Lucy Hall, and Matron of Honor, Mrs. Weddell Fetter both dressed in white lingerie over pink messaline carrying large bun ches of pink sweet peas tied with pink satin ribbon, entered and took their places just in front of the ushers. The bride dressed in a going-a-way suit of chiffon taffeta and carrying a shower bouquet of white sweet peas entered on the arm of her father and met the groom with his best man, Mr. Lindsey Elllington at the altar where Dr. Craig was waiting to perform the ceremony. As the bridal party left the church Mr. Womack played the Bridal chorus from Lohengrin. Mr. aud Mrs. Sloan left Reidsville on train No. 7 for Greensboro where they took No. 36 going North. After their trip they will'' go to Durham their future home. r On,-T.6a.tL evening after ( the re hearsal,"Mis3 Harris entertained tbn bridal party at her home on Main-St. The entire first floor was decorated for the occasion. In the library where the many handsome presents were dis played, -red sweet peas were used in abundance and in the parlor pink sweet peas were banked on the mantel,, piano and tables and pink shaded can dles threw a soft light over the rdom. The decorations in the 'dining-room were white. The table Was beautiful with baskets of sweet peas and bunch es of tulle. After a delicious lunch had been served the wedding-cake was cut. This afforded much amusement as Mr. Jesse Fetzer got the thimble, Mr. Will Watt the ring and Mr. Lind sey Ellington the dime. A Living Binder. The road construction authorities in Cleveland county have hit upon a unique and effective binder for the embankments. On a new piece of work a , mile out from Shelby, on the King's Mountain road, there is a long, high fill. The question of damage by rains was found to be' a serious one, but was easily solved. The superin tendent of, constiuction simply plant ed parallel rows or wire grass. This grass, growing rapidly, soon forms a firm matting which prevents the sides of the embankment from washing into gullies. Wire grass is regarded as superior to honeysuckle, because it is more compact and carries a more even surface. The embankment thus tieat ed is not only saved from damage, but with its carpeting of green is made an ornament to the landscape. Cleve land county is making loud toasts of the excellence of its good roads, all of which are of the top scil variety. When a good character of gravel is se cured these roads are indeed fine for traffic. The advantage over macadam lies in the increased number of miles that can be constructed with a stated sum of money. These Cleveland coun ty roads are being Constructed under the supervision of Mr. W. C. Eddie man, who had experience in building good roads in Mecklenburg and Gaston counties and who is hired at 100 a month to see that the work is done right. Charlotte Observer. John R.

These figures were ascertained, and declared to be the official findings of the Board of Canvassers at Wentworth yesterday, the Board meeting at 11 o'clock tnd Bave for an hour's recess for dinner continuing in session till 6:30 p. m. A greatcrowd was in at tendance and the tension during the earlv hours of the investigatirn was ; would be no tariff legislation this ses great, but the end was reached in goud sion. humor, victors and vanquished eachi Under the energetic and well direct feeling they had been "up against ed action of Senator Simmons, the sit- the real thing" in the election of June 4th. The Board confined its investigation to the challenged registered electors who did not -vote, respecting the de cision of the judges of the-election' on all who voted. This left some 60 chal lenges to be tried,-and the result was. about one-third ot . said challenges were sustained. The vote of Houts ville Township was challenged for gross irregularities, but upon ascer taining that the elimination of its voto would not change the result, Presi dent Richardson withdrew his chal lenge, saying that while he felt confi dent the law and the facts would sus tain the challenge, yet as it would leave the proposition 19 votes short of a majority, he would not impose un necessary work upon the Board. This graceful, acknowledgment of defeat evoked from Mr. D. F. King, who led the fight on the other side, the ex clamation, "Hurrah for Bob!" and the battle was ended.. The opponents of the bond issue made no demonstra tion over their victory, though thej held a meeting in the court house at 10 a. m. and organized to fight an ad verse decision in the courts. Attorney Sapp, of Greensboro, rep resented the good roads forces before the Board, while Cox & Cox, of Spray, were attorneys for the antis. Mr. Theatre Manager ! USE OUR SLIDES Send for; Catalogue.

Simmons and the Tariff. Poring the, short time Senator Sim mons has been in charge of the tariff bills he has done a great work for tar iff reform In bringing about conditions in the Senate that guaranteed action on all these, measures during the pres ent session of Congress, says a special from Washington to the News and On server. When he was put in charge of tbeso .bills the prediction was freely -indulged, both in Congress and in the press of the country, that there was bni little interest in the tariff in the Senate and that as a result there -.nation has been changed and the Sen ate has alresdy passed one of the most important of these bills and will dur ing this week act upon another and there is no longer any doubt that each of them will be brought to a, vote in the Senate beore adjournment. Whw the Senator early after he took charge ot the conduct of the bills on the floor stated to the Senate that there could be no adjournment until there was ac tion taken on these bills if it took all summer, ana predicted- that these measures would be adopted and sent to the president, it was not believed that he could make his words good, but the Senate discovered that be had both patience and resourcefulnss and quiet ly he has brought about a co-operation with the insurgents that would enable him to control the situation. It is now believed that the president will be presented not only with the steel and iron, but the wool,, cotton, and probably the sugar bills. Senator Simmons' management of these bills is admitted on both tides of the chamber to have been tactfal, and most satisfactory and his speech on the metal bill is commented on by his collegues as one of the strongest, clearest and most nanswerable state ments of the Democratic position on the tariff delivered in many years. In ml leadership he has shown the same masterf nlness in bringing togeth er and organizing forces and discord ant influences" that mad for success in his campaigns in North Caiolina. His colleagues have shown the ut most confidence in his leadership, and bave supported him loyally and with a unanimity seldom shown in the Sen ate in discussion of tariff measures. $72,450.0 1 376.58 2, 189.65 230.00 3,266.86 454.80 1,025.00 896.53 2,9 13.00 $83,802.43 $15,000.00 - 30O.00 305.91 7,709. 12 34.067.50 26,08 1.99 337.91 $83,802.43
