JKITGHIN'S STRONG LEAD. Tli e Primaries in Mecklenburg u 1 p. w . n 11 tti j y Had rme Day m Primaries Were Held Yesterday. Thefote in Mecklenburg county on trie candidate fo governor was quite a surprise t everybody. Sixty days ago the Craig people were claiming 16 out the 22 votes of the county. The vote stands after the primary, Horn 9.95; Kitchin 6.17; Craig 5.88. According to Mr. Manning's claim, this leaves Mr. Kitchin in the lead of Mr. Craig more than 50 votes, and practically assures his nomination. Held Yesterday. BEAT BOTH CANDIDATES. WANTED TO HANG. So That He Could Come to Life and Establish His Claim. Fort Smith' Ark,, June 13. Elijah Skaggs, the self-styled suc cessor to Christ and leader of a big cult in the southwest, was to-day sentenced to twenty-one years in the penitentiaryupon a conviction on the charge of criminal assault upon one of his women followers. The latter is the justice's court de nounced Skagg, but in the circutt court she said that the assauitrwas spiritual instead of carnal, and that her charge against him was the re sult of an understanding with Skaggs, who desired to be hanged and buried. Skaggs told his follow ers that he would rise again the third day and thus prove that he was the second Christ. He offered his lawyers $600 to secure the death penalty and on the witness stand prayed for the deafh sentence. The woman who was assaulted has been arrested for perjury. A U. S. Casualty- policy has many features not to be found else where. Pays for one day to' 200 weeks. Large amounts for Doc tors fee. Roxboro Real Estate & Trust Co. Manager Manning is More than Pleased With the Vote . In Every Section Ffth District Man Showed Up Well. He Almost Broke Even in Western Gaston County. Durham, N. C. June 13. Con gressman Kitchin had another good day yesterday, as the physicians say of a person with chronic ill ness. , The primaries all over the state brought him several stadia nearer the nominetion and' he will un doubtedly go to Charlotte with a lead of 50 votes if the figures of Mr. J. S. Manning are as he has received them. There is a very ma terial discrepancy between the esti mates of Manager Manning for Mr. Kiichin and Manager Kerr for Craig. Mr. Craig's man concedes but twelve while Mr. Manning claims 28 and they are this far apart in their accounts for some reason that has not been seen by the voters. But there is hardly any doubt that yesterday Mr. Kitchin swepF the field and although tfie fight was largely in neutral territory, the fifth district congressman received more votes than the combined Home and Craig contingents tobk. When the week began, Mr. Kitchin, according to Mr. Manning had 304.36, Home 110.48. Craig 276.18. Rowan Hertford and Lincoln are unin structed with the odds perhaps fav orable to Mr. Craig. , The counties yesterday did not announce their votes, Dare with 3, Cartaretwith 7 and Perquimans with 4.
