It was not introduced. Judge Winston having yielded to the conclusions of influential eommiteemen that “it woqld be foreign to the powers i of the committee and beyond its author ity to act upon the resolution.” He an-j pounced, however, that he proposes to! present it to the state convention where he has “no doubt of unanimous adop-1 tion."'^ The conclusion as to absence of an- 1 thority, to which Judge Winston agreed i late this afternoon, represented the re-1 suit of a day of diplomatic political ’ maneuvering by influential party leaders ! who sought to prevent an open fight j before the committee that threatened to 1 fellow the introduction of the resolu- j tion. ,‘ ~ » • ! The work of the committee diplomats ! durjng the day evidenced the first open demonstration of outright hostility to the "Dqniels for President” movement in North Carolina. Had the resolution been introduced! it would have been openly opposed on j the grounds that the connniWec could i not adopt it without committing the party to Daniels, and that it had no! right to commit the party. And the opposition figured this afternoon it could command a majority. One resignation was accepted tonight, that of Judge Henry A. Grady. The jurist, who lias been roundly criticised. for his Klan conceptions, thought fur-; ther membership on the commitee might j cause criticism in view of his position j on the bench.

YOUIBSTERSGREET -.jerJaim T GENEROUS WELCOME The First Snow of Winter is Received Here With Glee ful Shouts After Several Days of Suspense. SLEET PREPARED PLACE FOR SNOW Made Earth Cold Enough to Keep Fleecy Flakes From Melting as Fast as They Struck the Ground. "It’s Snowing!" . Children tumbled from, their beds with gleeful shouts and quickening of pulses as this greeting reached them this morn ing. It is the first snow of the winter and by the children it has been given a welcome almost as generous as the one extended on December 25th to St. Nick. For tlie past three days clouds which appeared to be filled almost to the break ing point with snow, had been hovering over Concord and this section of tlie State, and as tots crawled into their beds they had expressed hope that tile dawn of (lie .new tiny would find tile earth cover ed with the cherished Hakes. Today the hopes are realized as King Winter continues to spread the blanket of fleecy flakes which so successfully readies to corners, cracks and crevices that no part of the earth escapes from tlie whiteness thereof. Rain which fell uninterruptedly throughout Tuesday, gave way to sleet about midnight atfd the sleet pounded its wily against trees, window panes and oth er obstacles until after six o'clock this morning. During the night it gave the earth a base for the snow, and when tlie tiny flakes began falling some time af ter six o'clock this morning they found tire ground well prepared for them by their slippery relative. The temperature during the night was hardly as low as the freezing ixiint ami the snow in all probability would have melted as fast as it fell bail not the sleet made the earth cold enough to hold in tact the white flakes. At 7 o'clock enough snow had mingled with the sleet to give everything an artificial coating i of white and half an hour later the sleet was not visible through the heavy blan- I ket of snob' wbirh had fallen. I the. iigat.„j*ttl snow us the winter . 'here. Hevernl times within' the past I month a few flakes have fallen, but they were easily swallowed up in the mire caused by tlie rain which preceded them. At other times this year it has sleeted too. but the fall was not heavy enough to register attention. The snow storm which visited this city is part of the storm which gathered in the Ohio Valley several days ago and has been moving eastward. According to reports from Washington tlie wintry weather will continue through the day ami well into tomorrow, and the snow is expected to continue intermittently if not continuously, during the day. Children dji not attempt to hide the pleasure they" are deriving from tlie snow, and <ni the faces of many grownups morning there were smiles of pleas ure as they walked briskly to their of fices.. It was fine for the children, they alibied, but it was evident that many of , them were getting personal pleasure from . the snow. Few sleds were in evidence during the morning because of the dryness. of the snow, but skutiug and sledding parties are being arranged for tonight and it is very probable that "Archibald's pasture" and other popular hills will be filled with coasters by nightfall. Business here has in no way been in terrupted by the snow so far. Rut little - of the snow lias stuck to telephone, elec tric and telegraph wires and unless it does stick tiK them iu sufficient hulk to break the wires it is probable that no damage will result. Jitneys have been ill great demand, but even at that they have carried more growmiim than children, for the latter have refused to ride. Fathers were heard to remark that children who refuse to walk to school ordinarily were out and gone this morning before autos could be brought from the garages. The youngsters faced the falling flakes with joy and anticipation and their cup of joy lias been running over during the day. Up to the noon hour more than till'd* inches of snow had fallen here.
