Joe Carter, a -citizen of Roxboro, is under treat ment1 at the-Watts Hospital 'on ac--count of three stabs in the abdomen that he received in his home town last week, the stabbing being done by Lacy Wilson, a Durham young man who is now at , work jjnRoxboro, a fork being used ' in inflicting "the wounds. The condition of Carter, is such as to give hope that the wounds will not prove fatal. The bounds, however, are very painful, the prongs of the eating fork enter ing the cavity of the stomagh at three places. It will be several days before the full nature of the wounds an be determined. It was late in the afternoon that the stabbing was Yne. Wilson and Carter got into a dispute of some nature and the re sult was that Wilson grabbed a fork oft the table at the boarding house and used it. After being stabbed Carter walked for some distance and then fell to the ground. He" lost considerable blood on account of the wounds. It is reported here that the fuss and fight occured on account of a woman who lives in Roxboro. North Carolina Veterans Reunion. Winston-Salem, Speeial.

Walton Kitchin, now representing the fifth district in Congress was, on Saturday evening, at 7w30 o'clock, nominated for Governor on the- sixty-first ballot by the- State Demo eratic convention in session here. Col. Ashley Horne who had the small est primary vote of any of the three candidates in the race withdrew after the sixtieth ballot and the fight was closed by Mr. .Locke Craig, of Ashe ville, and Mr. Kitchin, the result of the last ballot being 473.59 for Kitch in and 381.72 for Craig. After the contest was over a love feast, in which the friends of the candidates took part, followed. Among others who spoke were: Former Governor Aycock, who supported Mr. Craig; Mr. Kitchin and Mr. Craig. The closing scenes of the great con test, which had continued for fbur days, were most animated. More than 8,000 people, men and women, filled the Auditorium. Demonstration after demonstration1 was made so much so that the chairman had a task to preserve order. The victory won by Mr. Kitchin is rankfed as one of the greatest in the history of the State. He was oppos ed by Senator Simmons, the recogni zed Reader 'of the North Carolina Democracy; Former Governor Ay cock, and other well-known Tar Heel leader's. He made a fight on the Southern Railway, and the American Tobacco Company, which concerns he said were opposing him. He came to' the convention with approximately 374 votes. : Craig had, 335 and Horne 148 iThe first :baUot 'came at 12; Tclckiednesday riifrIom that time until the houriof the: nomination the contest was Vspirited and at times bitter. ; The delegates were noisy and enthusiastic lfethewH supported by tiei &untain bunties of western North Carolina.

The Convention City. A feature of this most remarkable convention was the splendid enter tainment furnished by Charlotte to her many thousands of guests, during the session. With her f orty-three thousand population, her magnificent hotels and her unsurpassed railroad facilities, she met fully every expec tation. Charlotte's new magnificent auditorium was equal to the task of seating the eight or more thousand people who witnessed the end of the long contest. Her hotels, boarding houses and private homes have fur nished fine and acVquate accomoda tion to all. the people within her gates. At her, fine play-houses, parks, and public buildings, she, has fur nished ample amusements, and 1 her electric Car system, the best in the South, has taken the crowds easily to all points of interest. The great wholesale and retail stores have wel comed all comers; the r great i citv daily papers have covered in detail everr feature of the big convention. Half "Hydraphoby." I was down ' in a little southern towm the other day," said a commer cial traveler, where a new eystem of waterworks had just been installed. All the drinking: water lor the town was pumped in from an artesian well on the outskirts of the towm. The in habitaii'ts were Immensely proud of their new water, and at every place I stopped 1 was urged to take a drink of it, being assured at 4he same time with great Impressiveness that it had been 'analyzed amd found to be half hydrogen.1 This mys-tic expression seemed to have a strange f ascinattion for most of the citizens. "Finally, I stopped at the town pump to the middle of the square in front of the county courthouse, and as I worked the pum J handle I thought I would find out what an old negro leaning against a tree nearby would say. " 'Uncle I said, 'is this good wat er?' . Y : ; ' ..; "ShoT he replied, with enthusi asm. 'Wy, sab, dat water is done been scan'lyzed an f oum' ter be ha'f hydraphoby, sah!'
