seventh ballot, between one and
two o'clock this nrqningi.
The candidates before the con
vention were Rnssell, Dockory,
Boyd, Lusk and Moody. Russell
led on the first bailot and .made
steddy gains until the 'seventh,
when he won by "a, vote of 119 37,
out of a total of 232 cast.
Zeb Vance Walser, of Lexington,
was nominated - for Attorney Gen
eral, and Col. R.. M Douglas, of
Greensboro, was nominated for
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court. Both were made, by accla
mation. No other nominations
were made, the offices of Lieuten-

.Marshall Mott, solicitor of the
Winston district, was permanent
chairman of the convention.
Every Democrat whom we have
seen expresses pleasure at the nomi
nation of Russell; Without excep
tion he is regarded as the very weak
est man in the field and it is believed
that he can be beaten by a good
Democrat. It is the general opinion
that the nomination is a bid for
Populist support, as Bussell is a pro
nounced advocate of fus!on and
favors free coinage of sil ver at the
ratio of 16 to 1.
The nomination does not set well
on the stomachs ol the local Re pub
licins, especially with the colored
ones. Several of these expressed
disappointment. One confessed that
the nomination was a poor one ' and
expressed the opinion that if a clean,
able man was nominated by the
Democrats he would receive 10,000
negro votes. ! 1
We have heard no expression of
opinion from the Populists and don't
know how they regard the nomina
tion. Cigarettes have been abolished by
Greenwood, Ind., authorities.

Who Should Advertise.
Every one who has anything to
sel 1, whether it is the product of the
head, brain or machine, and in cases
where those wish to buy, or secure,
or exchange any thing that they can-
not tret conveniently, should ad ver -
tise.
Advertising should be treated pre-
cisely as any other investment, and
in nine cases out of ten it pays a bet-
ter profit than anything for which
money is spent.
The best evidence that advertising
pays is the fact that millions of dol-
lars are invested in it by all sorts and
kinds of trade and by the most sue-
cesiful business men in the land. Of
course it pays. ..
No sensible man can believe that
successful business houses advertise
and become extensive advertisers for
the fun of the thing. With them it
is business jusl as . much a3 buying
Rtnnk or sellinc uroducts.
There are certain principles of
trade that men ought not to ignore
and among them the principal one is
regular, legitimate and persistent
advertising. Western Stationer.

How Delegates to Chicago Can be SleisflU
In answer to an inquiry from 8.1
Williaras, chairman of the Dem-
cratic executive committee of Dam
vidson . county, r Stale chairman
James H. Pou says that the dido-
I Congressional districts of this States
will elect two delegates each to be-
1 National Convention in such rcan
ner as will seem best in eaeh ia
trict. The Executive committee
of any district can call a convention
to meet within the district at any
date prior to the meeting of tbe-
National convention July 7th, for
the sole purpose of electing delegates
and alternates to that con ven tion, or'.
for the purpose of nominating cans3i
dates for Congress and Presidential
electors, or as , is frequently d03
J when it is thought best to ha-va as-
later nomination of candidates Tha
district committee can call a convex- -
tion to meet in Raleigh at the tkae-
of the meeting of the State eonveii
tion and this convention can elect'
delegates. When the latter course
followed the counties have usnaHjr
J authorized their delegates and aUes-1 -
nates to the State convention, a&e
act as delegates to the district- cod
vention. This was the course fol -
lowed by the Fourth district in 2S02.-
An exchange says that the-favoritfe y
song of the political straddier on the
financial question is "Silver Threads.
Among the Gold."
