If yon belong to the llouocr crowd the "ins" there is a committee; if you belong to the insurgents who guth cred here Saturday afternoon, why then there is no county executive committee for the very good reason that 'the insurg ents passed a resolution declaring all the places, as members of the Republican county executive committee vaeaut. The "ins" have appealed to the State exec utive committee for a ruling on the mat ter. The "outs" are standing pat on, their action of Saturday. And the Dem ocratic postmasters continue serenely on the job as they will likely contiiiiH"'1o' do until the Republicans ipiit scrapping among themselves. At one point in (Saturday's meeting it looked like there wan going to he a reg ular old-timo rough house when the lie was passed between John J. George mid 'Audio Beam, both of Oicrryvillo. Friends of the two men inetrveneil, how ever, ami kept them apart. When the house was called to order at 1:30 there 'were between m and Ion lie publicans present ami probably half n dozen Democratic spectators. Craig Smith, of Gastouiu, was elected chair man. Several precincts in the county were not represented at all. Eli 1'. Lineberger, executive cuniinil teenian from (iastonia, township, (en tered his resignation but it wn not ue eepted. Instead J. M. Movie, of (las tonia, offered a resolution dccl.iring all the offices of committeemen vacant. His coutention was that, as a matter ( fact the present committee was never legally elected. Thev were chosen, he claimed. I .by a mass meeting over a year ago. J I . further contended that, according to tin Republican plan of organization, a con Tntion should have been railed at. tin time Wynn Thomburg resigned to be- come a candidate for the Pallas "'.st , office. Another point whic h he stressed ! was that the present, committee bad been holding their meetings behind dosed ' doors which, he claimed, was contrary to: Republican policy. His resolution went through a -whooping, the vote doing to ;i, Hoyln immediately introduced another resolution calling for the election of a new committor by this mass meeting. He failed tfl get a second to hisi motion, however. A resolution was then intro duced and passed calling a regular con vention for this purpose to be held in Gnstonin on the first .Saturday in May In the course of a debate on one of these resolutions John .1. deterge, i Chcrryville, made reference to the peist office fight in his town, letting it be known that he favore.l .1.

Only two members of the executive committee were present, namely, Kli 1' Lineberger, of (iastonia township, and Will HendriekA, of Cherryville-.

It was while ishe was preparing to enter house of Horn, present home of the former emperor of (iermaiiy after her long reKielenco ut Aineroiigen that she was stricken with what ut the time was believed to be a fatal attaek. That was on April II, StlL'o. I'or a few days there were reports that death was momentarily expected but she rallieel and accompanied her husband to Doiu. Ou May 10th last, attacks of her fatal ma lady recurred at frequent intervals, cai h sapping her vitality and nullifying the measures taken by specialists to restore her health. When her son, former Prince Joachim coinniitleeil suicide in Berlin last July she was in such a k r i ous condition that the news of his death was kept from her for a long time and it is said she never learned her mhi kill ed himself. Late last autumn the form er empress' condition gradually became worse. Ou several occasions her chil dren were called to Dorn but her ftrciigth as such that the rallieel bravely when :!' end was believed imminent. iSinee the lust of this year it had been known that she was gradually sinking. The death came as a shock to tbedwcll ers in Doom cnstle, as during the lad week the patient 's condition had xccmed less serious. Nevertheless lust Saturday Dr. ILnesiier, after consultations with Prof. Hyinans, the Dutch heart especial ist, thought if advhnble to semi a me, sage to Princes Victoria Louise', the on ly daughter ,of the former einpe mr and empress, calling her to lloorn. The princess, who then wan in Vicuna, hud not reached Doom when death came to the ex empress this inorning.
