ML THE COUNTY CONVENTION. Tomorrow, June 3rd, the county Democratic convention will be held in Halifax. Matters of importance will come before that convention and much depends for Halifax county on the work that is done and the manner of its doing. If the work of tie con vention is such that the people v ill be pleased and approve, it will bs well ; it the work of the con vention is such that the people will not be pleased and do not approve, it will not be well. At this writing there is no knowing who will be nominated for the Legisla ture and the county offices ; but who ever they may be, let them be men in whom the people haye confidence. Let them be men of conservative views and sterling character ; and so may they go before the people with confidence of support, and so will the people take pleasure in supporting them. Men who are chosen as the servants of the people should be such as will represent the best interests of the people and the highest and best development oi the county. In the Scotland Neck primaries reso lutions were passed pledging support to tha nominees of the county and State conventions, nd we have heard that it was done at other pre cincts. Thus the delegates go up pledged to support and vote for men, even before they know the men who will be nominated. We are not questioning this, but we are eaying that it will behoove the county acd State conventions to select with care the men whom the delegates are pledg ed to support before they know them. It the individual voters of the Dem ocratic party are so loyal to their party to maKe a pledge beforehand to stand by the party's nominees in open con vention, too much care cannot be ex ercised in forming a ticket for these individual voters to support- If Euch care ia not exercised then the same in dividual voters might feel thai they have not been met half way, and next time they might not ba as ready to pledge themselves to support the ac tions of conventions before they are held. EDITOR DANIELS FINED $2,000. Editor Joseph as Daniels, of the News and Observer, was before Judge Pur- jipII in the contempt proceedings Tues- cay. Jtide Turnell overruled motion by Mr. Daniel i' counsel to continue the case and said, "Mr. Daniels must answer cow." Judge Winston, one of Mr. Daniels' counsel, read Mr. uanieis answer which denied any contempt in his edi i v m- rv i torial utterances, but only the exercise of his right as an editor to criticize the acts of Judge Pumell. Judge Winston argned that by act of Con gress in 1831 the question was out of the jurisdiction of the court, circuit and district courts haying jurisdiction only in cases of misdemeanors com mitted in the presence of the court, Neyer since 1831, said Mr. Winston, had such a case been reported. Judge Purneil said he had jurisdict ion and imposed a fine of $2,000. Mr, Daniels' attorneys asked for an appeal but were told no appeal lay in such cases. They offered bond but bond was refused. Mr. Daniels was placed in the hands of Marshall Dockey, but declared he would not pay the fine. The excitement in Raleigh was high, We are indebted for these particulars to the Richmond News Leader oi Tuesday afternoon, no Raleigh papers having reached us before going to press.

Glenn Well A teles-ram from Mr. E. H. said that Glenn is between HON. R. B. GLENN. Everybody in North Carolina knows Bob Glenn and all know that he has been in the thickest o the fight ,or tw. fnr full twentv years. From Cherokee to Currituck ft has done more effective campaign work in North Carolina, or more of it, than Bob Glenn. He did as much to save tne State to Democratic rule as any other man in the State, and realiy few can measure records with him. One of the most graceful and praise worthy acts ever recorded of any man in the history ot the State was Bob Glenn's withdrawal from the Senatorial contest two years ago in the interest of his own home competitor, C. B. Watson. Such magnanimity in any citizen entitles him to the trust and confidence and support of his people in any position to which be aspires and for whicn he ; is fitted to fill. And if Bob Glenn is not fitted to fill the position of Govern or of the people of Worth Carolina, where could the man be found ? We believe he will be the people's choice and that he will be nominated in the State Democratic convention at j Greensboro June zdm. "SQ UALL Y" TIMES. Certain developments in North Caro lina for the past few days have made interesting reading for those who keep up with the newspaper reporters. In the low famous contempt pro ceedings held before Judge Peebles in Lumberton last week, three men who gave affidavits against Judge Peebles were fined $250 each and sentenced to jiil for thirty days. The men thus dealt with by Judge Peebles were Sheriff McLeod, and two reputable attorneys, Mr. Carroll, of Duplin, and Mr. E. W. Kerr, of Clinton. Mr. Kerr has been a practicing lawyer for more than thirty years, but his affidavit against Judge Peebles was construed by the latter as direct contempt and he was fined and sentenced to jail. Mr. Carroll's offence was similar to that of Mr. Kerr, both having given affidavit that they had seen Judge Peebles under the influence of whiskey. Following that sensation Editor Jo- eepbus Daniels, of the News and Ob server, was arrested Monday under a rule issued by Judge Purneil of the Federal Court compelling Editor Dan iels to show cause why he should not be attached for contempt of the court. The matter grew out of an editorial in Sunday's News and Observer con- cerning the appointment of a new re- ceiver by jQdge Purneil lor the At- iantio and North Carolina rilmd I ' Mr Dan'els' editorial was plain and unequivocal, but nothing, he says, but hla exerc,8e !ree speech the prop- er criticism of a man in high official ...

ANOTHER RECEIVER POINTED. AP. Judge Pumell heard the arguments for a receiver to the North Carolina Railroad last Saturday. He appointed Thos. D. Mears, of Wilmington, re ceiver, and S. G.

Henderson went to Wash Ington, N. C, Friday to attend the union meeting. Mrs. R. W. Barnes went to Halifax Saturday to visit her mother, Mrs. E L. Stephenson. Mrs. W. B. Barnhill had a bad chill yesterday which left her very sick. Mr. and Mrs. S. A. Partine and little boys, Jesse and Edward, spent a few days, in Whitakers last week visiting Mr. Tom Partine. Mr. J. W. Fleming was very sick with fever last week but is now very much improved. Mr. and Mrs. J. D. .Lawrence spent Sunday evening at Spring Hill. Mr. Jim Stephenson spent Sunday near Halifax visiting relatives. Mr. and Mrs. C. E. Pope went to Scotland Neck Saturday. Mr. G. L. Branch, of Enfield, will go on his first trip carrying mail Wednes day, June 1st. His route leads to Dawson and will be considered a mat ter of convenience as the Scotland Neck route is. We would, scarcely know how to exist without our mai man. The Dawson people were startled Sunday morning when the whistle of the Tillery log train rent the air and it was known that the good citizens of TUIerywere out for a fish fry and bar becue away down on Beach Swamp. The farmers here are all getting on fairly well with farming, but colored labor is scarce and one of our farmers says the grass in his crop is as "thicc as hairs on a cow's back," but we are glad he stretched the matter a bit Labor ranges from fifty to seventy-five cents per day.

Littleton, May 30, 1904 The commencement at Littleton Fe male College, North Carolina, May 23 fco 26 WJs one of the Rreatest occa eions ever witnessed at this famous in- stitution, which now numbers among its student body young women from five different States. The exercises began Sunday morning with a fine sermon by Rev.G. F. Smith, presiding elder of the Warrenton dis trict, N. C. Conference, before .the Young Women's Christian Association The sermon is almost universally pro nounced by the people who heard it as one of the best the college has ever had. On Tuesday evening, the graduating class held its Arbor Exercises on the campus. Beneath the crossed flags of the sister classes the Senior crimson and gold, and the Sophomore rose and gray preceded by little Ruth Nichol son, decked in the Senior col6rs, and bearing the magnolia tree to be plant ed, the classes, adorned in their co'ors, marched to their places. The pro gram was highly entertaining, consist ing of class will and prophecy, college and class songs with yiolin and guitar accompaniment. After the song, 'Where are the Classes?" rendered by the Sophomores, the tree was planted, hiding beneath its roots the bundle ot "mistakes" discarded by the Seniors. The tree was dedicated by an original poem, "Ode to the Magnolia Tree,", by Miss Bessie Pulliam, after which the program was ended by the Senior Class Song, "Onward." On Wednesday evening at 8 :80 o'clock, Rev. C. W. Byrd, D. D., of At- lanta, Ga., delivered the Baccalaaurete sermon in the college chapel before a large and appreciative audience. The theme of the discourse was "Oonsecra- vu auu uuuociudui xxauatuiujabiuu, showing that no life counts tor any thing nntil it yields itself up to the ser vice of that which is above it, illustrat ing this beautiful thought from the vegetable and animal kingdoms. The sermon was truly a great and inspiring one. Thursday was commencement day. The class of 1904 is composed of ten of North and South Carolina's noble young women. Promptly at 1U o'clock in the morning, the Sophomore, class, following its president, who bore the flag, filed into the chapel and formed a line down the central aisle through which the graduating class, led by their president, Miss Aiken, of North Carolina, as flag bearer, entered the chapel, the entire audience rising and standing nntil the graduates were seat ed on the rostrum. The program was a most interesting SHAKE INTO YOUR SHOES Allen's Foot-Ease, a powder. It cures smarting, nervous feet and ingrowing nails, and instantly takes the eting out of corns and bunions.

At 11 :30, the Literary address was delivered Rev. R. D. Smart, of Norfolk, Va. The address was one of the most pol ished, Drnate and elegant ever delivered here. Dr. Smart's subject was "Duty, or the Largeness oi Littles," and for forty-five minute3 the audience was swayed by the eloquence and earnest ness ot this scholarly speaker. Thursday evening the Annual Recit al by music and elocution pupils was given. The well selected programme, consisting of piano, yiolin and vocal selections, with elocution, was well rendered throughout, and reflected great credit upon the young ladies participating, their teachers and the institution.
