Thtf PHnocrartc • Slate Com mitfckr meets in thfe on Thsr rsdav of this week. March 17, at which time the place and date of holding the State. Convention this year will be determined. I am informed that the committe will also be called upon to consider a proposition order a State Primary for the nomination of a candidate for Governor. >; This proposal will be made by some of the friends 'or ode of* the four avowed candidates now in ,the field .whq has expressed his pref erence lor a primary, instead of the usual con vent inn. ■ As neither of the other three candidates will 'join iji this request for a departure from the usual custom and established order of things, it h thought that the primary will not be ordered. Friends of the other gentlemen tell me that they would have no objection to a primary, although it would be an innovation, if there was any special demand for it on the part of Undemocratic mases, or if any othMjmportant reasons for the be advanced. In the obacure of such reasons they see no necessity of joining in the request of llr and his friends. . a * a HAD ENOUGH OF "STATE PMI 1 ' , , 4 « MARIES" A leading Democratic politician, who is uot championing the cause either of the aspirants for Gover nor, had tbe following to say, anent the primary proposition, when his opinion was asked today: ' The experience we got out of the Senatorial primary of 1900 ought to forever settle the 'State primary* question with the Demo cratic party of North Carolina. It caused more hard feelings between political brethren, alienated more personal friendships, did 'more to in|ttre'th£ party organization, and pbayed the, df vil general I v more disastrously than all the political conventions of the party held with in a quarter of a century. I haven't got thfe bad taite ofit entirely out of iiiy mojitli yet. and I certainly da not want to see another one like it soon. "We have already got enough dissension inside the party orgaui z ition at this particular time, and it would be the height of folly to in vite more oI it during this election year-- I take it that the great ma jority of the State Committee are acquainted with the true situation, and I have no idea that the Com mMlliMll-oriler a primary." Jk, number of the frifqds of Maj. Stcdmaa "Afere here on business last .They all expressed confi dence in tbe ability ot their man to facure the gubernatorial nomina tion and declared that be is stron ger now than he ha* been at any time in the past. The quiet confi dence* £&Tsahguine words of Lieu tedant "Governer Turner's friends are also a notable feature of the pna:nt canvass. • m VARIOUS MATTERS or INTEREST. A representative of Hon. W. R. Hearst the New York newspaper aua. Congressman, multi-million, aire, etc., who aspires to the Dem oct atic nomination for President, was In Raleigh last week and had a conference with several prgml "ntot Kbrth*" Carolina Democrats, including two or three who were here from other sections of the State. The gentleman's name is |(. F. Ihmsen and he is aaid to be one of the managers of Mr Hearst's caadidocy and campaign hsadquar terxin New York City; also promi nently identified with Mr. Hearst's newspaper*. was accompanied Bunco Game is Exposed Paid Nothing for Stock, Nothing for Tele grafns, Nothing to Counsel-A Free Lnch Hold^Up REEKS WITH ROTTENESS by Mr. Whitehead Kluttz, son of the eighth district Congressman, and who was last year given a posi tion in the Washington Bureau of the Hearst papers. Mr. Ihmsen's husinesss in Norih Carolina was to look after securing delegates for his nlnn to the St. Louis conven tion from this State. * * * The A. & N. C. Railroad matter will come up next Thursday in 'this city before Simouton of the United Slates Circuit Court, on the application 6f the State to set aside Judge PutnelL's order ap pointing V. E. Mcßee receiver, etc. Tn this connection it is of interest to Mote that a dispatch from Rich mond says the Atlantic Coast Line is about to begin an extension of its line from Washington, N. C., to New Bern. Receiver Mcßee on Saturday removed General Supt. Dill, who has been with the A. & N. C. food for thirty years. Mr. > Mcßee will fill that position him self for the present. The prevail ing opinion here is that the present muddle will result in a lease of the road on advantageous terms to the State. But it is said that Gov. Ay cock will decline to act in the mat ter until the preseut contention is definitely settled although he could i go ahead and lease the property now if he chose to do so. a" *' *" ' Ex-Gov. Russell, who was at the point of death several days last week, in a hospital it Baltimore, is reported today to be now on the road to final recovery from the operation recently performed. The fight over the Wilmington post mastership was settled Saturday when the nam* of J. E- Wallace was scut to the Senate by the Presi dent. lie will be confirmed this week. * • * . The fates are certainly against the distillers and sellers of liqtiois of North Carolina in this year of grace. Following the recent de cision of the Supreme Court, con tinuing the next anti-jug law to apply to the entire State, and therefore making it unlawful to ship liquor to any couuty or town where its sale is prohibited from any other point in this State, now > comes another contention which, if upheld by the Courts, will deal the liquor traffic the hardest blow it lias yet received. • It is now claimed by some that under the new law no liquor can be shipped by distillers or dealers licensed in other counties to any town or point in another county, distillers or shall first take out a license in every county and incorporated town to which they desire to make 9uch shipments. Meaning, of , course, those counties where prohl-' bition does not prevail. The new law and the Supreme Court ex pressly say that the place of deliv ery is the place of sale. Therefore a distiller ip Nash or Yad kin counties sell brandy and whisky in the "wet" towns of Salisbury or Wilmington, by shipping it to pri vate parties or order it, or even to saloon keepers, if the Nash and Yadkin distillers have no license to sell in Rowan and New Hanover? Looks like about tbe only way to get it there lawfully would be for the purchaser to go after the stuff in person and and then ship it to himself. Or else order some . one outside the State. . * "They say" cotton may go ; higher this week. May be so; and it may drop lower again before you 1 know it. If I had any left on hand the sixteen cents bid for it this morning would get every puond I , had and I'll say "thank you, sir," 1 besides. - rrv / or A Blue X Marfc / m the Squaie Belot^ I I r" ? means that yout Subscription Hods with thia Issue V. E. Mcßee, now by virtue of : Federal authority the receiver of the A. & N. C. Railroad, is held for Wake criminal court, charged with conspiracy to wrong the State. 1 This was the outcome ot the 1 searching investigation held Tues day before Chief Justice Walter Clark, who 011 affidavit of Attorn ey General Gilmer had issued a bench warrant for the arrest of V. E. Mcßee and K.S. Finch,charged with a serious crime against the State. 1 The trial laid bare to the public eye a record of rottenness in a oraz en and bold-faced transaction, en gineered by two non-residents, who : in their grab Q f state property have dead-headed cverythtug->in sight, paying no money for stock, for ' telegrams, for counsel, but have buncoed their way along. 1 1 Throngs of North Carolinians, with the interests of a deeply con : cerned people written on their ab sorbed faces, heard laid bare the details of a midnight conspiracy whose culmination was reached t when the aims of the plotters was attained and the A. & N. C. Rail • road was in their grasp. The hearing consumed three ses sions yesterday and closed near the end of the day. Witnesses had 1 been heard, argument had been ' made, and only the decision of the presiding officer was awaited. It was a moment of intense interest ; and quietly, evenly, Chief Justice . Clark said : s "The court, under all the cir : cumstances which have been pre • sented decides that the case how : under consideration be sent 011 for further investigation by the grand ' jury at the next term of the court : for Wake county. The amount of bail will be $2000.00. The bond can > he drawn an I justified before Col. Thomas S. Kenan, the clerk of this court." 1 Thus the law begins to fasten it ■ self about the men who in their at- I tempt to laugh the State to scorn - and override it have hesitated at - nothing. • _J , L Proper Treitmant ol Pneumsnii 1 Pneumonia is too dangerous a disease for anyone to attempt to doctor hiaiself, although he may have the proper remedies at hand. A physician should always be called 1 It should !je borne in mind, how ever, that pneumonia always re : salts from a cola or from an attack 1 of the grip, and that by givitr i Chamberlain's Cough Remedy tli threatened attack of pneumonia may be warded pff. This remedy is also used by physicians in the treatment of pneumonia with tli I best results. Dr. W. J. Smith, 01 ■ Sanders, Ala., who is also a drug r gist, says of it: "I have been sell • iiig Chamberlain's Cough Remedy and prescribing it in my practice for the past six years. I use it in iases of pneumouia and have al ways gotten the best results." Sold by S. R. Biggs. The Russians call their czar the "little father."
