Knives Were Wh-tUsl In the Conven tion and Their Cutting May be .: felt Later. Spirited Con ,.i 'ttat Threaghout. Mid acenea of confusion W L Ateo deU ef MoiheaJ ( Ity an l D L Ward of New Bern were aomloated Democratic candidate to represent the Elgth Sena torial District In the next General As sembly. Although Ibe weather "was warm, there was no comparison to the torrldlty of the contest Inside the Court House. As one gentleman expressed It the uproar at Its height was the Greens boro convention on a small scale, the chairman finding It difficult at limes to preserve order. ' The convention was called to order at 12:45 by MrY T Ormond, ot Lenoir county. On motion of A D Ward, Geo B Waters was made secretary and W 8 Oollon, assistant secretary. Mr Ormond made a few felicitous re marks to the affect that the Democratic party In the Btate and nation had Its face set toward victory. Never before have prospects been so bright for the re turn of the Democratic party io power. Be aald he was glad to meet the repre sentatives of the rank and file of Democ ia"y under such favorable condition. Pour years ago the State was to the hands of the enemy but under the leader sh'p of the gallant C B Aycock the money changers bad been driven out of the temple and rascal i had given place to honest men. The Democratic admin ialratlon had been clean and economical without a suspicion of scandal - or fraud. Mr? M Vdbb of Morehetd moved io make the temporary conization per maneut. The commlit w on rrrdemtals was dispensed wi n, the delegations be ing accepted In full. The following vote waa accorded to each county: Car teret 81; Craven 53; Green 29; Lenoir 43, Jones 18; Onslow 81. . The flist contention tefore the assem bly was ia the ma'tir of the resolutions. Mr. H, DeW. Htivenson msde a motion that, a commlt'.tea consisting of one memter from each connty to draft reso lution. Mr Ernet Grjen of Ciaven ottered an amendment to the motiuu by dispensing with the .committee and adopting the Sttle and National platform. After some discussion the original motion of Mr Stevenson was carried and the fol'ow'ng gentlemen were ap pointed on I he committee on re solutlors andplatforn. Carteret, C L Abernethy; Craven, A D Ward, Green J M Orm&nd, Jones T D Warren, Lenoir J A Mc- Daniel, Onslow Randolph Duffy. Mr Ward ws chosen chairman of the committee and reported that the plat form ot the State convention expressed the views of the delegates and also stated that the rules governing the nomi nation would be tbe person receiving more than 9&1 votes should be declared tbe nomine . The total vote number log 199. During the recess Mr O H Guion and Col Pollock of Kinston made short and humorous speeches which kepi i lie con venllon in goodnature. , ' - The executive committee of this get. atorial DUtiict was then appointed, They werC:-Carleret W S Cbadwick, Craven Q V Richardson, Green JEW Buge. Jones J A Smith, Lenoir Y. T. Ormond, Onslow B B Taylor.. r TH 1ATTLB COUMSNCIS. The assemlly was then ready for the nominations. A motion was made and carried limiting tbe time of ihs speeches to five minutes. Responding to the roll-call of counties Mr 0 L Abernethy, of Beaufort, placed In nominee. ' Mr W L Arenddl, he spoke In high terms of the gentleman of bis scholarly aitiinments, his abilities and his loyalty to party Interes'i. Mr M De W Steven son nomloa'ed D L Warn. Be compar ed the convention to the one of 189S when tbe candidacy went begging for tor man and no sne could be found who would be wlllloS to be a martyrs for his party. Be remarked on the change and the prospects of a still greater change In the nation. " He said there would be great questions to come before the next Slate.leglslatuna Questions involving the future go:d of the State which will require the utmost attention of the best minds of the Btate for that office he believed Mr Ward wu th right man for the place. Green county h vl no candidate and when Jones county was callodMrTO Warren nominated Mr E M Koonce of Jacksonville. He referred eloquently to the time when 'the Democracy was encompassed by defeat and dlsaiter and when fuslonlsm. Republicanism and rascality were rampant He told bow his candldata stood bold ly through thessdark days and enoourag ed and helped the Democracy of his ounty without asking or expecting a reward- " He had sought the honor not without the solicitation ot many friends and had b en a- sired of their loyal t uppori yet at other times when he deemed It best for the Interests of his party he withdrew from the race for the sake of undaunted und unterl flcl 1 Democrat of Onslon County. v Lenoir county having no candidate. tbe roll of states was completed. The seconding of the nominations was then In order. ' Mr R L Dnffy ft Onslow seconded the nomination of E M Koonce. Suggs, of Green, followed with a few remarks endorsing the candidacy of W L Aren dell. James A Bryan spoke tor D L Ward; W M Webb for Arendell and L Morrell for Ward. The balloting was then commenced. The result ot the first ballot waa as fol lows: Carteret, 27 Arendell; Craven, G2 Ward; Green,, 30 Arende',1- Lenoir 43 Arendell; Jonee 19; Koonce; Onslow 81, Koonce. The total being Arendell OS, Koooce 49, Ward 53. Second ballot wss cast with the anme result. Tno conven tion then turned Into an uncontrollable mess. Jones and Craven went Into cau cos but tbe delegations held out firmly for their men. At last, Craven broke and tbe whole delegation n lib the excep tlon of W O Mclver went over to Aren dell which gave him the nomination. He received 100 votes. The demonstration for the victorious candidate was exciting In the extremo. Tbe work of nominating tbe second candidate, Mr Ward was accomplished in ena ballot. Ward receiving 150 votes and Koonce 49. Messrs Arendell and Ward made speeches thinking tlis convention for the honor bestowed upon them ami promising tb3 convention their very best efforts for the party's good. Mr Koonce msde a manly speech submit ting graciously to the will of tbe convin tlon and stating that while he hail tbe pledge of vofes enough to nominate him be would work for iho success of the party. 4Ie said that, ho, would never gain be a candidate for the nomination of Slate Senator. There was much dissatisfaction showed among the Jones and OiibIow legates because of tbo defeat vt Mr Koonce. Tbey intimate that they will be revenged for the alleged treachery of the convention as it wsh tacitly under tood luat Mr Koonce would have the support of the Craveu delegates and were greatly disappointed in the turn things had taken. They charge that the prohibition element of the party con nlved at the throw down. Lawn Party at Lima. There will be a 1 wn party at Verry's Grove, Lima, Tuesday night July 20th.

The law on the Subject Raleigh, N C, July 31 One of the questions of the day is, are tbe county officers In North Carolina doing their duty f The Watts Law, drafted by Sen-J ator Simmons and Gov Aycock, and en acted by the Lcgls'Mure.lmposea a clear duty uron connty nfllcera, the duty of breaking up illicit distilling of whiskey, etc . .Revenue agpn Chapman of Greens boro Is Here acd y:$ correspondent had a special Interview with him which throws much light upon tbe neglect of duty along this particular line by coun ty oillcers. Col Chapman is a Confed erate Veteran, who was a lieutenant colonel in Moshy's famous command, lie has served In the revenue aervlce in Tenneiiec for years. When asked what was being dona in this State in the way of capturing moon shiners be replied: "Last moath we captured 40 illicit dis tilleries, an, Increase of 3 over the pre ceediag monlhj. I ara not prepared to cay whether moonsbining is increasing in North Carolina or not, but fear that it is. Besides the stills we captured we got 3400 gallons of whiskey which was buried and which would have escaped taxation. We also captured 4 horces and 4 wagom and buggies." I have been In Tenni f;sce, where they have a law somewhat similar to your Watts law In this Ktatc, but there the connty e Ulcers are strict in carrying the law Into efTect, and tlmy have driven out the moonshiners except along t lie boundary of the Sttle. From them and from Teuneiseo revrii'io ntlher', I now receive information of the presence of illicit diitlllerics which are being oper ated ncrofs the lino In North Carolina. Such a notice rcaclutl me yesterday. In Tennessee the county rttlccn co-operate thoroughly with ns in putting down illicit distilleries, and not only so, bat they givo information as to Iho location of stills and also co-opeia',e with us in seizing them. There Is not a particle of co-operation in North Carolina and riot a solitary county olllccr has offered tbe least assist ;nce. We have appta's from citizen:! in a number of sections that their busfness la blng Interfered with by illicit distillers' "and retailers, these appeals being coupled with the sUte rocnt that the county officers are not paying the slightest attention to these matters. Tbe letters call upon tbe Governor to capture the law breakers.' Col. Chapmen when saying this was 1 tbe office of tevenue collector Duncan, and said to the latter: ''You have re ceived many such complaints, I am sure" "Yei", replied collector Duncan, "plenty of them". No doubt this interview will attract attention and will arouse tbe antl saloon league to a sense of the situation. No doubt some county officers thiuk it pop ular to be on the side ot the moonshl ners and the whiskey selling, but as ope of the most popular men In the State re marked a few days ago, they will find out later what a sad mittako they havo made. This gentleman went on to tay that he expected within the next 4 years to soo the sale of liquor prohibited or regulated In every county in North Car ollna; this is that within that period There will be either prohibition or the dispensary system In all parts of the State. Perhaps the Interview will arouse some of the county officials to a sense of their duty. " The Evil and Its Cure. One particularly interesting and vital point is driven home by Lincoln Steffens In his article on Illinois politics in the August McChtri's: and that is that the great problem of the republic is to secure government by tha people.- It is not a question of this cr that party, or this or that politician; bnt simply one of self government, of the supremacy of public opinion...--. '- '-Hcji::: u Vt : Mr. Steffens tells tbe story of tbe eight years' political war In Illinois, by which the Republican party of that State has been brought to represent the people. It offers an Illuminating study of politics and government which can be read with profit by every American citt ten. It Is a hopeful, as well as an analy tical discussion of conditions, for It not only exposes the evils of republican government, but shows by illustration how they may be reached, There Is abundant food for thought for the "good citizen" on these powerful pages, . VOICE OF PEOPLE Where Tney Went. "Where did the M Koonce votes KO tlTat were7 promised by Craven county?" asks a "Deleealo" In yesterday's Jour nal. - I have nothlne to say but just ask Jones. .ANOTHER DELEGATE. Bids' Wanted.

Showing Feeling In England On Rus sian Hatter. London, July 31. A serious feeling of depression prevails on ;the London stock exchange today, owing to the se riousness of the Malacca affair. Consols have further declined from 104 to 103 fi-ir Jingoism is rampart throughout Eng land today and the Balfour ministry that far.is the sltuttlon requfrea to exei- clsethe most careful diplomacy.
