Democratic ; Nomine Against Blackburn DltCUMtrf. v"' ,.- (Special Correspondence.) ; Raleigh, March l."What effect will tha indictment have on Blackburn's dunces for renomination ?", This ques tion 'was put by 'the correspondent to an "eighth district Democrat,--one thoroughly familiar with all the polit ical conditions there obtaining. This query was answered in these words, and are worth the heeding since they bear the marks of a- prophecy as well: ' 'Blackburn can play the baby act b tter than any man in the State and most ef fectively, and he can do things politi cally that no other man in the State can do and live. You can judge him by no rule applicable to the human race, He can go over his district, get up be fore these mountaineers, tell them' he was a poor mountain boy winning suc cess, when his enemies, backed by the Democrats,, began, to prosecute him, and ' he can shed tears (as he did at Wilkesboro,- when Governor Glenn wiped up the earth with hirr) a til the people will believe him, as no po ser on earth can keep him from gewing that nomination. Now just stop figuring on Spencer's - downfall by the usual methods. He' is the only Republican in the district who can possibly be elected; and if the Democrats put up a strong man he maybe defeated., There never was a time when the -northeast ern counties were bo torn up. 1 be lieve if a prohibition campaign were waged in 'Whiskey Wilkes' it would vote outlhe distillery. There is not an open barroom in it now' - When asked as to the likelihood of the Democratic nominee the man from the eighth said "Hackett, thus far, is in the lead, and unless someone other than those already announced comes into Mhe field, he will be nominated. He is not acceptable to the temperance element, but it is thought that element would find little encouragement to scratch him., for. Blackburn. I heard Hugh G. Cheatham' name mentioned today for, nomination, and there is no doubt he would be a popular candidate it he would run. , It was thought at one time that the temperance people would center on W. R. Odell, of Con cord, or R L. Smith, of Stanly, but both refuse to enter the race. At present outlook is that Hackett will get Wilkes solid, two-thirds of Stanly, Surry and Vgautauga, and at least liUf-of Cabarrus, Rowan and Al exander, - and three-fourths of Alle gheny. It is thought that Armfleld will get Iredell solid, one-sixth of Stan ly, Surry and Rowan, one half of Alex ander and one-fourth of Cabarrus. Sewland will get Caldwell solid, and one-sixth of Stanly, and will divide the small fraction left in Rowan, Cabarrus and Surry with Bouie, who it is pre sumed will get Ashe, his home county, though Hackett is very popular there. There is no doubt of a Democratic vic tory this year if the Democrats will pay their poll taxes. Either one of the gentlemen mentioned ought to be able to beat Blackburn." Croatan. ' V: February 28.

Raleigh, Feb. 28. -Hon J R Young, state insurance (Jommiaewner, says that the month just closing shows among the heaviest receipts in the his; tory of the insurance department, and in addition to this fact more companies are being steadily organized and are applying to enter the State for the con duct of their respective business. The Keystone Mutual and the Manton Mu tual, both fire insurance companies of Philadelphia have filed their papers to enter the State regularly. These two companies were the ones represented by a man by the name of Clark, who forfeited a $200 fee when he failed to make good at the investigation of the Southern Oil Company's fire in Charlotte. As it is now Mr. Clark's two hundred dollars must forfeit and the State gets an additional four hundred, dollars in license fee. An other company just licensed to com mence business is the North Carolina Fire Insurance Company at High Point The condition of Dr. Peter E. Hines who Was stricken with paralysis Sun day, is reported as slightly improved today. ' V.

Interest in the liquor cases continues unabated and there was a large crowd of spectators present at the adjourned trial before Mayor Patterson yesterday Richard Guion was Ihe first one up, and as in other cases fiiarles Gibson was the principal wittrtis for the State. Gibson told the court how. he obtained the whiskey of Guion on Fridty night and that he had another bottle from which he took rceaaional drinks. At torney W. W. Clark questioned him severely as to the condition of the night, whether the moon was shining or not, the position of the men and the kind of whiskey in the bottle. . Witness said he took no drink .from the bottle purchased of defendant. He was ques tioned as to whether there was an agree ment between him and any other party or parties about compensation for his trouble. He stated that he paid $2.25 for the whiskey and that it was his own money; thut he had no understanding with any one. When he was arrested he said that if he had betrayed one he would show the police all the places where he knew liquor was kept In the testimony of officer Lupton, the bott le alleged to, have been pur chased of Guion which Gibson stated that he did, not - drink - from was pro duced in evidence. ; The bottle was about half full if liquor. ? Witness did not know whether the, bottle shown in court was the one purchased or if Gib son had drank from the bottle. A little sensation was made while Lupton was on the stand relative to a report that he had sold some liquor to a young man. Mr. Clarence Land was in the courtroom and requested to step forwarl to the bar, the object being to brin before the court the person to whom Lupton is charged to have of fered to sell liquor one night about two weeks ago. ': The officer emphatically denied any attempt to sell any whiskey then or at any other time. :; Mr. Land was not put on the aland to. make any statement Mr. F. P. Rowe was then called as witness. He said he was deputy sheriff and working under instructions from the sheriff. When questioned about the bottle of liquor in evidence he stat ed that he gave Gibson a drink out of the bottle and judged that he had taken about the quantity indicated. He said Guion came to the door of the house and gave Gibson the bottle and told the latter not to give him away. Officer A. L. Bryan then took the stand and went over a good deal of the testimony of officer Rowe. There was some quibbling about the quality of liquor, Mr. Bryan stated that Gibson drank the liquor under a shed on the opposite side of the street while Gibson stated on the stand lhat he was in Guion's back yard. - , - 0 Officer John Bowden was called to the witness stand and said that he ar rested Guion Tuesday morning and up on the order from Chief of Police Har get searched the place. He found the liquor in a large trunk. It consisted of 23 one half pint bottles and a half gal lon jug. J. T.York, a defendant, was next placed on trial but the attorneys de cided to waive examination on the rest of the cases. They did not have the arguments on the cases called.

Prop ositfjns were received from Greensboro High Point, Oak Ridge, Graham, Liberty and Hillsboro, each one of thes'i places sending a delegation be fore the meeting. Judge Furgerson and Solicitor Brooks are proving a rapid team in disposing of.: the c; iminal docket. Yesterday, there were twenty cases' of confession or conviction of guilt by parties con fined in jail. The blind tiger and baw dy hou cases here have grown a little less popular form of pursuit than for merly and there were only two of the former and none of the latter for trial. Judge Furgerson is not making what the lawyers call "a bloody crimi nal court judge." His . sentences are prompt and seem to fit the case, rwhile conservative. Yesterday when the case against J. B. McMillan was called, Solicitor Brooks announced that defend ant had written him a , letter stating that he desired to plead guilty. Mc Millan is the young man who cut such a social and financial swathe here last fall under the pretense of being a cap italist and desiring to buy an interest in a lumber business here. . He fairly swelled it in hired automobiles, high priced traps, big hotel board, ' presents of diamond wedding presents, and other like magnificent gifts in propor tion. He was arrested as he was get ting out of a carriage at the hotel door on a charge of' forgery, 'the .evidence showing that he had drawn various check and secured the endorsement of local capitalists on false representa tions, for various sums, one of them being for fifteen thousand dollars in payment for an interest in the himber manufacturing concern in which he had pretended to buy an interest. He got no money on this but on the strength of this big check he had secured sever al hundred dollars and stayed here like a fool, spending it, while the telegraph flashed the news to the banks that checks they had cashed were forgeries or that he had no credit on the banks names at all.

Habicht and his wife on the charge of selling liquor without a license was in the Mayors court yesterday. The case is the outcome of the assault case for which Mrs. Habicht was tried about a month ago. The complaining witness, Forbes, gave evidence by which he nearly in criminated himself as a violator of the same law for which he was the prose cuting witnesf , There being no evidence against L B Habicht he was dismissed. Mrs. Habi cht was bound over to Superior court for trial under $200 bonds which were furnished. . Tom White, the hero of the very amusing Aim flam case which was meii- tioned in the Journal a few days ago was on trial last evening. Sam Wal ker, the States witness told him "how come". He said that' White came to him and wanted some small change for a dollar bill which he claimed he had He gave the man the money and stuck the so-called bill in his pocket without stopping to examine it. . When he look ed at it a little later he lost no time in reporting the matter to the police and White was arrested in short order. The bill is a "peach" of its kind. The e is about as much resemblance in the "bill" as there is in a big reve nue stamp and the extent of intrinsic value is that it would be a first class entrte in a goats' dinner. White should have been dismissed for his cleverness in working such a wide open mm flam game so successfully. White was bound over to court " Special Rates to Goldsboro and Wil- -, son.
