No Third Party ia Georgia. Atlanta, July 6. There is to be no new third party in Georgia. The nomination of Woodrow Wilson at the Democratic convention has over turned the plans of the Roosevelt men here,, who bad expected to organize a third-white Roosevelt "progressive" party, which many Georgians both Democrat and Republican would have joined in the event of a reactionary was nominated at Baltimore. But with the Democrats united be hind '.Wilson, and the Republican or ganisation in Georgia as represented by Henry S. Jackson solidly behind Taft 'a administration . candidate, there is no constituency for the Koose velt leaders here to draw from. As a matter of fact it is believed by the Roosevelt men here that the Colonel will probably withdraw from the race, particularly in view or the fact that Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota progressives have already aeeiarea. -agains. nun. : China; Oroya Telephone Exchanga ia -i New Quarters.

DANOEU AT THE fWAUV DWJUkA.I Street Cars, AatoawBfles, YabJdes, Padaatralaa la Thick Coafaaioa. If any one doubts that Concord is taking on a metropolitan air let' him stand at tbe intersection of Depot and Union streets, commonly called the square, at any time during the busy hours. Tbe square wu alwaya more or less a central place but since tbe operation of the street ears the Bom ber of people that gather there haa been largely increased. Tbe dangers have been increased two fold and if more care is not exercised in cross ing tbe square, both by pedestrains and automobiliste, serious accidents are likely to occur at any time. The streets are narrow and not only is it a gathering place for people to catch tbe car but it ia the most important avenue of traffic in town. "I would regret exceedingly to hear of an accident there caused by an automobile," said an ower of a ear, a few days ago, "but if more care is not exercised on tbe pert of the peo ple who drive cars I am afraid it will occur." It is not only the automobiles that should be more careful at this point but pedestrains as well. If. the pede strains, automobiliste and street cars will all keep a close wstch at the square serious acidents will be averted. American Sprinter Win. Stockholm, Sweden, July 6.

Senator Dixon, who aa a Roosevelt ampaign manager, was s Tar Heel. At Baltimore the one man next to the nominee who was the cen ter of interest was McCombe, the young New York lawyer who managed Wilson's esmpaign. Although he is not a Tar Heel he is the next thing to one and has many relatives in this State. He was born in Arkansas but his father was from Mecklenburg county, and he has many relatives in this section. Among his kinsman in this eity is Dr. R. M. King, whose mother was a Miss MoCombs, from Mecklenburg. Dr. R. S. Young, who wss a dele gate at the convention stated on his return that it was reported in Balti more that Boss Murphy of Tammany, said that one of the first things he in tended to do upon his return to New York was to call on McCombs, who he stated managed Wilson's campaign at Baltimore without making the slight est political blunder.
