They or, y con f U to their intimate friends that they invited themselv s lo the conference. All this uneasiness arises from the fact, of course, thru Governor Wilson is not '-ady to pick the peopie upon whom he is to lean most heavily in the next four years He wants to weigh caiefully the qualifications ol he m.-n who are u ged upon him for Cabinet berth', and he wants to see juct who is who in Congress before he selects his advisers there.

That Governor Wi son will keen hands off the reorganization of the next House u.nd Senate in til.- fight between progressives and conser-va- ives. That he has sent word to Washing on that he wiM not disturb Repub'ican officeho'dcrs whose- lerms expire in his administration, but will let them finish their time. Some 6f thc things that have notJ been learned rre: Who is to til in thc next Cabinet? Who is to have thc distribution of patronage hi tlr-rrO State de'egaJ tiont? Whether cr'not President Wi' son meant what the public understood him to have said when he intimated that he would sur.ound himself onijj with progressives?

Untill recently she alw ys as sisted her youngest daughter, with whom she lived, in doing the family washing, and would pick i:p chips at her little woodpile. Born a slave in the year 170 , she belonged to the well known Bledsoe family of Orange Forty years before the war, or about the year 1820. she and her three chil dren were sold Dy the Bleds e to Samuel Shadrack, near Cfilpeppcr. There she lived until and during the troublous times of war, coining afterwards to Culpepper, where she had made her home ever since. Her former owners the Bledsoe fanilv, alwavs keot her in remembrance, some of them com ing occasionally to pec about her in her little cat in in "Sugar Bottom." Luther Hamilton of Atlantic passed through our town vestcrdav enroute to Raleigh. L. S. Swain, former y of this city un who about three weeks ago moved io Washington, N. C, to engage in the insurance business, yesterday morn ing committed suicide by drinking a bottle of carbolic acid. He left a note jiving information as to the where abouts of his relatives but gave no cause for commuting the rash act. Mr. Swain, while living in this city resided with his wife and pne child, at No. 68 Metcalf street and was en, gaged in thjf insurance business, repre sentins the Pan American Insurance Company. When he went to Wash ington his wife and ihild went to Shallotte, N. C, near Wilmington, for a visit with relatives and have been there since that time. Mrs. William Street of this city, who is a sister-in-law of young Swain received a telegram informing her of the affair yesterday morning and she at once got into communication with his wife and relatives. Another tele gram received from (Wa hinrtop stated that the body would be sent to New Bern on the early morning train. On arrival here it will be transferred to the Atlantic Coast Line train 'and taken to Shallotte for interment. Jusl why the voursr man took hJi life will probably never be known. He visited here last Saturday and told his friends that lUs-sMiisiness at Wash ington was all tlutt he could desire The inspector employed by the Pan' American Insnraic ' C r rany was n ihe city vesterdav and he informed the relatives of tile deceased "that his ooks were in soxl Order and that he was potitive there was no sht.rtgae in the eomnanv's funds of which Mr. Swain had charfc'.' i.
