"He's licked, that's alL The vol jime of sound never nominated a can didate. Theodore Roosevelt, in com ing here, admitted that bis managers could not save him and his bluff and blaster will be of no avail," said William Barnes, Jr., the Taft field captain. With Roosevelt speeding toward tho city today, the party leaders on both sides admitted that the storm center of the Republican national convention from this evening on, will bo Roosevelt himself. The statements of Borah and Barnes show their posi tion aa they want tho public to know it, bnt Borah realises that more dele gate are needed to einch his cause and that Roosevelt must furnish them. Barnes, also realizing this, is fearful not of noise, but of the effect of Roosevelt's personality on the wav ering delegates. Roosevelt' plan is personally to button, hole tho Taft delegates who hold office and were originally-ap pointed by Roosevelt, .Jto recall - to inese moa inai no nas always oeen friendly to them and then argue that Taft would have a hard time being elected if he is re-nominafed. Roose velt is then expected to try to con vince the Taft men that if .Roosevelt is nominated Roosevelt 's election is a eertainly, and that thy will hold their job. Tho Roosevelt managers expect this "bread and butter'! ergn ment to have a good effect. Tho Taft men still' insist that they have more then enough delegates to nominate him oa tho first ballot, and that their men are ''noise and dynamite proof." That tho national convention is as sembling was brought homo to Chica go today. Tho blare of bands was heard for tho first time as the march ing delegates filed off the special trains and proceeded to the hotels. Tho corridors of tho hotels and streets in tho neighborhood are crowded. The arguments are frequent and heated. . .jt, i ; . i i ii. MaoUaa ia for Colonel Roosevelt. Special to Greensboro News.

C, June 15. The gathering of delegates at Charlotte next Tuesday forms the fifteenth na tional convention held by the Repub lican party since its Turth ia Pitts burgh more than half a century ago. Tho first convention was in Phila delphia in 1856, and Edward D. Mor gan called it to order on Juno 17. Robert Epunett, of New York, was temporary ehairman and Henry S. Lane, of Pennsylvania, permanent chairman, with David Wilmot as head of tho committee on resolutions. The platform declared against the exten sion of slavery into new States and Territories, demanded the admission of Kansas, and advocated the build ing of the Union Pacific railroad. The candidates nominated were John C. Fremont he defeating John McLean of Ohio, on the first ballot and Wil liam L. Dayton of New Tork. The ticket was beaten by the Democratic ticket nominated at St. Louis and headed by Buchanan. The second, but in point of import ance really the first, convention of party was held in Chicago, assemb ling June 13, 1860. The platform de clared for the preservation of (he Union, denounced the extension of slavery, and advocated tariff laws, "which would encourage the develop ment of the industrial interests of the country." Abraham Lincoln was nominated for President on the third ballot and Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, was nominated for Vice President on the second ballot. This ticket was suc cessful in the fall, easily beating the divided Democracy. Tho third Republican convention met in Baltimore on June 7, 1864. The platform declared for the carry ing on of the war, advocated a con stitutional amendment forever pro hibiting slavery anywhere in the un ion, returned thanks to the Federal soldiers and sailors, and indorsed the emancipation proclamation. Abra ham Lincoln was renominated, receiv ing all the votes except those of Mis souri, which were cast for Gen. Grant. Andrew Johnson, of Tennessee, was named for Vice-President.

FOUR PER COT. Interest : Paid oa Tim Deposit. BLUB ABOUT NORFOLK SOUTHERN PROSPECTS. Albesaarie Enterprise Seams to Talak That Ws Ar Going to Be Left High and Dry.. The Albemarle Enterprise seems to be mighty blue about the prospects of Albemarle, Mt. Pleasant and Con cord getting the Norfolk Southern railroad. We do not think Concord needs any sympathy, as to lesve Con cord off the line would be like the play of Hamlet with the character Hamlet left out. Concord would be worth more to the Norfolk Southern than all the towns and villages and country on the entire line combined from Troy to Charlotte. The Enter prise says: Looks now as if Norwood is going to get that new railroad the Char lotte, Raleigh and Southern. If so, Albemarle, Mt. Pleasant, and Con cord will be left high and dry. But our neighbor is entitled to whatever good thing may befall her lot, and, wiul regretting that Albemarle should be so unfortunate as to miss this great commercial benefit, we shall rejoice that one of the best sec tions of our county is to secure it. But this is to serve notice that Albe marle will be active to the finish, and no stone will be left unturned to se cure it. In this connection, it is fair to state that many surveys have been made through Albemarle and other points of the county in order to obtain the best and shortest line. The diffi culty of getting a good line from Troy to Concord has been recognized, and if the lower route is selected it will be because it was the most feasible one. But since Mt. Pleasant and Con cord are not to be reached, it would seem to us entirely an easy proposi tion to get a direct line from Troy, through Albemarle to Charlotte. In this way, the central portion of Stan ly would be reached, and prove a line which should commend itself to pro moters of the new road. In the mean time we shall await definite news. But Albemarle must get busy at once. According to Danish laws, automo biles are forbidden to pass trolley cars at a rate faster than one mile an hour.
