Coler. of New York, president of the North Carolina Pub lie Service Company, who was in Con cord Tueedsy with the officials of the company, was at one time the Democratic nominee for Governor of New York and is closely allied with the Democratic organization in that State. Mr. Coler was asked as to his opinion of the outcome at Balti more. "The New York delegation seems favorable to Underwood or Harmon and it is also probable they will pde- sent Mayor Uaynor 88 their candi date," he replied. what of Governor Wilson t" he was asked. He does not appear as strons as the others of the New York organi zation' he replied, "although if he should look to be the most available man at Baltimore Murphy would probably vote for him." Murphy, Mr. Coler said was the kind of politician that would go for the man for the sake of the party. He spoke of Mayor Gaynor, a man not especially friendly to Murphy, being nominated and elected. The most significant statement, so far as the country is concerned is Mr. Coler 's remarks was that there appeared to be very lit tie int erest in business circles in the metropolis over the outcome. "Heretofore," said Mr. Coler, "on the even of a national election everything was at fever heat in business circles in New York. This year it is exactly opposite. Business is moving along inits accustomed way and business men. are paying little heed to the! election." In so far as "bigr business" as us ed in a political sense, Mr. Coler said that so tar as be knew "big busi ness" was taking no hand in the af fair and did not appear interested in the fight between the candidates. "But maybe, I am not big enough to be 'next' in the matter," said the wealthy capitalist as he left to catch a train for New York. - - STATE .NEWS.

The change was handed back and no more was heard of it. In some parts of lower Union coun ty the farmers are disturbed over the appearance of the army worm or some similar cotton-eating pest. The Marsli- ville Home says : " It will foe remem bered that this worm struck sections of the county last fall and completely destroyed the leaves of cotton which it attacked. Fortunately, it was so late in the season that little damage was done to the staple. The fear now is that the little pest will attack the cotton while it is so young that it will be completely destroyed. Let us hope however, that the extent of its range will be email that this is the wrong season for it to thrive and then let us take warning and plant plenty of other crops in the future.

He promised Roosevelt his support, but his friends say that if the bolt comes he will re main regular. Many Tafters think him the ideal head of the ticket. If he stays with the regulars in ease of a bolt the Missouri delegation will give him a presidential ballot and the scattering votes lie would receive from other States Would make Taft's nomination impossible, and Hadley, Roosevelt's staunchest supporter, would most likely be the regular can didate against Roosevelt. if there is no bolt Hadley seems assured of the nomination for vice president, as Taft men want him on their ticket. Hadley evasively says about the presidential boom : "I am for Roosevelt and intend fighting for him. There is no reason to discuss anything but Roosevelt's candidacy." The demand for a third candidate is growing big and it looks as if neither Taft or Roosevelt will be nom inated in the regular convention. There is strong enough compromise talk in the air.
