FROM THE CAPITOL
OF OUR STATE
Col. George IL. Morton Apparently in the
Lead for Lieutenant-Governor.
Concerning the proposition to
present the name of governor Ay
cock to the DesMCntic National
Convention for At vice-presidenti
al nomination, thefl# letters have
had littk to wy—far • good rea-
More than six months ngo Gov
ernor Aycock stated to this writer
that he was not encouraging such
a movement on the part of some ot
his admirers, and left the impres
on me that his fnture ambition
would not lie in that direction; that
be not only did not seek the honor
of a nomination for that position,
but really did not desire it. Since '
then he again discouraged the idea I
by stating that he did not think a 1
Southern man should be placed '
upon the national ticket this year 1
for that office.
But it now looks like his name
will be presented to the convention I
whether he desires it or not. and it ]
is evident that he would receive a I
strong and widespread support
from a large number of states —and
not all of them from the South,
either.
Many of the counties will this
month elect their delegates to the
State convention. There appears
to be no change in the relative
strength of the several candidates
for the gubernatorial nomination.
Major Stedman continues to lead 1
the list, with Lieut.-Gov. Turaer
pushing for the second place.
Messrs. Stedman and Turner both
continue to grow in popular favor,
if the statements of well-posted
inen from all over the State who
; visit Raleigh, are to be believed,
and the indications are that they
will continue to do so until the bal
loting begins in the convention
The Stedman men express the ful
lest, confidence in the success of
1 their candidate, and the Turner
advocates declare that the
chances of that gentleman have
never been better than at the pres
ent time. Mr. Glenn is personally
working hard for the nomination
at present.
For the Lieutenant-Governorship
Col. Geo, L. Morton is now ap
parently the leading candidate.
His prospects are growing won
derfully of late and his multitude
of friends all over the State fully
believe that he will certainly be
nominated. Senator Joseph A.
Brown, of Columbus, will stand for
, the nomination for Congress in the
sixth district, and therefore will
i not be a candidate for Lieutenant
r Governor. This development also
: improves the chances of Col. Mor
. ton, as both gentlemen hail from
i the same section of the State. Col
. Morton is a gallant and very able
, man, and {would make a fine Iyieu
r tenant-Governor. He has served
four or five terms in the General
Assembly, in both the Senate and
House, and his large experience as
• legislator has admirably equipped
him for the performance of th.
. duties of the Lieutesant-Governor
ship He. makes a fine presiding of
ficer—a fact that was brilliantly
1 demonstrated while be presided
ever the Joint caucus during the
' protracted contest for the Senator
ship, which finally resulted in the
r nomination of Mr. Overman a year

"I had a bad cast of piles," says
r G. F. Carter, of Atlanta, Ga.,"and
consulted a physician who advised
me to try a box of DeWitt's Witch
Hazel Salve. I purchased a box
L and was entirely cured. It is splend
id for piles, giving relief instantly,
. and I heartily recommend it to all
, sufferers." DeWitt's Witch Hazel
. Salve ii unequalled for its healing
. qualities. Ecxema and other skin
, diseases, aldß sores, cuts, burns and
r wounds of every kind are cured by
. it. Sold by Anderson, Crawford &
ago.
Corporation Commissioner Sam
uel I«. Rogen ought to, and doubt*
lass does, feel mnch gratification
over the many evidences of appro
val of his record and the apparent
determination to give him p second
term. Nothing else could have
been reasonably expected, how
ever. He has made a moat excel
lent official, and as he baa served
on the commission exactly the num
ber of years that make one full
term, it is entirely proper that he
should be given another term,along
with the other State officials. But,
aside from that, he is to-day (large
ly by reason of the valuable ex
perience he has acquired) the best
man available for this position, and
it is to the interest of the State that
he be re-elected this year.

The A. & N. C Railroad inves
tigating committee has not yet com
pleted its work, but it appears to
be probable that they may be able
to make their report to the Gover
nor in the course of a week or so.
Several "rumors" affecting the
railroad have been current during
the past week. One of them was
that another attempt will be made
to place the property in the hands
of a receiver soon; another was that
President Bryan had been requested
to resigtf. The first could not be
traced to any reliable or definite
source, and the latter was unequi
vocally denied by Gov. Aycock.
There has been no statement of
oublic interest in the investigation
and the publication of the commit
tee's report is awaited with great
interest. It is said that one of the
most ' 'enjoyable'' chapters will be
that which contains the names of
the "free brigade" that was "en
tertaiued" and "wined," as well as
dined, at the State's expense—at
the Moreliead hotel last summer
—and largely became of which the
balance was on the wrong side of
the ledger, to the tune of some
sß,ooo, at the end of the seaside
hotel season.

There is much interest in the
possible developments in the case
(if it is a "case") of the Lumber
ton lawyers, to whom Judge Peeb
les lias promised to give his atten
tion at Fayettcville court in a few
days. It is noted that some of our
brethren of the 'lead-pencil habit"
have been guying the lawyers and
giving them the jolly ha, ha ! over
the prospects of their breaking into
jail. Now conies a lawyer, at my
elbow, who suggests that, in such
case, they may have some news
paper men for companions in du
rance vile; that is, if the lawyers
read to His Honor,in their defense,
cause of the warm-number editori
al-! printed about bim some six
months ago.

Weak lungs should be careful.
Coughs and colds are dangerous
then. One Minute Cough Cure
cures coughs and colds and gives
strength to the lungs. Mrs. G. E.
Fenner, of Marion, Ind., says, "I
suffered with a cough until I run
down in weight from 148 to 92 lbs.
I tried a number of remedies to no
avail until I used One Minute
Cough Cure. Four bottles of this
wonderful remedy cured me en
tirely of the cough, strengthened
my lungs and restored me to my
normal weight,health and strength.

"Here, John," he said, "is S6O 1

John took the roll of bills handed

he handed In the receipt all right
and went to his desk. The hose

times during the day, but said noth

"What did Mr. Blank say when
you took him that money this morn

"Notliin'," was John's brief re
sponse.
"Now, John," said the boss, "I
want you to tell me the troth. I

An Opportunity
! Professor 0. C. Marsh, who for
: many years otcunied the chair of
f paleontology at Yale and who at
iiis dentil left a scientific collection
of great value to the university,
' used to delight in telling the fol
' lowing story:
One morning he was walking
. down a New llaven street when lie
t met a negro driving a horse which
had a curiously malformed hoof.
"When your horse dies," said the
professor to the old darky, "I will
give you $.3 for that hoof if you will
cut it off and bring it to me."
"Very v.oll, nth," was the reply,
: and horse and driver disappeared,
s Two hours later, when the pro
. fessor reached home* he found the
. negro, who had been impatiently
awaiting him for an hour. Hand
ing a carefully wrapped package to
' the professor, the darky said, **De
: hoss is daid, sah."
