Tumtiltuous Convention As usual, when there are so many warring factions in a convention as were at the Republican Convention at Raleigh on Wednesday, the tumult waged loud aud long. *lt was first, lost and all the time a Roosevelt house.

Henry Tom Settle was frozen out be cain-e he was a Taft delegate and Mirion 3utlej» the "Sampson Fes," was beaten until there was not a hair left, Richmond Pearson being the man who rode all over the wily politician. Martin Coun ty's vote (to its credit) went solid fof Duncan against Butler leader ship. Ztb Vanve Walser was in glory l?nd for things went bis way and that way nas to Teddy. John M. More head alone was saved from the agbtis and that by mere chance. Things looked warlike all through the convention ind threats of call ing tbe police nvere ftfevle by Cum. Walter. Hut Teddy went through with a whoop and Butler down with a thump. The "Big Four" for the National Convention are Richmoud Pcarsotj, Thomas E.

RespcctlulJy, W. A. Thompson, Aurora, N. C. Here It Is - - ■ 1 S 1 l Clark's friends say that V.o other candidate can be elected, so say the Harmon contingency about Ha:* moa, aud likewise the Underwood ! rooters for their candidate; aud all j of them are cjrad sine that Prof, j Wilson would not make any show at all against either Taft or Roose velt. No n isn't that funny. -Ail ; are Democrates and each claiming ] that their's is the. only candidate | who can possible l\at a Republcan , in this year of grace and oppor tunity, We are glad, however, that the Woodrow ilscn advocates gre more charitable. They believe any Rood Democrat can' win, and aie too generous to rai.se the Red Flag or play the hold up game on the other candidates to drive the j people /to support their man. If j Wilson wins he will do it hohestly 1 and fairlv. He is#the people's candidate for President and is going to be nauiinated And elected by the honest, unsalable yeomanry of the naton. He is a great man, in fact no greater has arisen to lead the people since Thomas Jefferson laid down the offical toga. Wilson will be our next president.—Wilson Times. —B ■ —' Helps a Judge in Bad fix Justice Eli Cherry, of Gills Mills Tenn., was plainly worried.

Man is thinking —tyr the time, real'.v thinkiug. The wi'l of numbers must be done. The few must g.ve ground to the many, and naturally we must first endure a few petty irritations. Society cannot be shaken to its foundations from a hundred tan gents, a multitude of revolutions cannot break upon us and find us all calm. We are dropping habits of mind anil'of body that have persisted from father t) sou for centure piled upon century.
