DELEGATES ARE HOME. The frilkesboro Coirentioi Over and the Remit ia Now Inowa.. Delegates, to the Democratic con vention at Wilkesboro have returned and report a fine trip and a strenuous convention. The Newland men in the Cabarrus delegation are all smiles while the strong Hackett men says it's all right, that Newland will be elected and that the convention was pleased and satisfied. T. C. Bowie, of Ashe, was named for elector for the district. Mr. Bowie made a speech and made a splendid impression on the delegates. - The speech of Mr. Hackett was the one of the convention and made new and stronger friends for the Wilkes man. Judging from what the delegates say the convention was a magnificent one and represented the counties in the I district well. Every county had a large - delegation. There were 13 from Cabarrus 'and more than a 100 from Rowan. The Cabarrus visitors ' were pleased with v the country they aaw. especially 'the" bottom landTof Wilkes, which is just now bearing a - record crop of corn. The convention was in session all night and was full of interest from start to finish. Among ' the. Cabarrus delegates were : P. B. Means, Brandon Means, ; L.T. Hartsell, ' Sam Black, C A. - Sherwood, C A. Isenhour, E. T '. Boat, J . F. Cannon, J. P. Cook, C. 1 McDonald and W. R. Johnson. - Pwaldent May Overturn Law. Washington, D. G, Aug. 4.

Alton B, Parker ceased to be Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals of this State at 3:20 p. m. today, and became the un- trammeled candidate of the Demo cratic party for the presidensy of the United States, lacking only the formal notification of his nomination, which will take place at Kosemount next Wednesday afternoon. Without any advance announcement or intimation of his purpose, he came to Albany, took part With five of the other judges in clearing up practically all of the cases which had been argued before the court, and then sent a mes senger to file his formal resignation in the office of the Secretary of State, as the constitution and public officers' law required. W. M. Russell Hurt in Wednesday's Wreck, in Preearions Condition. Brakeman W. M. Russell, who was injured in the freight wreck near the junction Wednesday, is lying at the Presbyterian Hospital in a precarious condition. The injured man sustained a frac ture of the leg in the wreck and it is learned today that his condition is now very serious and the attending physi cians stated that it was impossible to tell what the result would be. "He is Very badly hurt," was the answer of one of the physicians to an inquiry as to Russell's condition. The physician further added that the recoverery of the injured man was an uncertainty. Russell, it is said, was aware of the impending collision and was in the act of jumping when the two trains struck and just as he sprang from the top of one of the cars attached to train No. 62, a brake rod was twisted over by the force of the collision and caught about the leg of the brakeman, causing him to be badly mashed and to fall heavily to the ground. ' . Russell is receiving all attention that can if given him at ibe.Wpiul tbf hope of saving his life. Charlotte News of 5th. ' British Thibet Expedition Within 40 Miles of Lhassa. London, Aug. 5. The British ex pedition to Thibet under command of Gen. MacDonald : crossed the river Brahmaputra today, and is therefore within less than forty miles of Lhassa, the capital. . Col. Yonghusband, the civil com mander with the expedition,' had two interviews with Thibetan peace dele gates from Lhassa, 'who were found to have abandoned their arrogant at- attitude. They appealed to CoL Younghusband.. to stop '-, short of Lhassa, saying that if the British should enter the sacred city the Dalai Lama might die of the shock of bis religious feelings. : C CoU. Younghusbrand replied that the proposed treaty muit be signed in Lhassa, He promised that' none of the British v would enter the mon asteries if they were not fired upon them and the expedition would leave Lhassa as . soon as the treaty was signed. ' Stops Sinking; Neutral Ships, v . St. Petersburg, August 6, 1:25 a. m. The Associated Press is able to an- ' nounce that there will be no repetition of the Knight Commander and Thea 'incidents. Russia has issued, instruc- tlon, to MV,i commanders not to sink neutral merchantmen with contraband which Russia does not formally re linquish, but which, it is safe to say, will not again be exercised during the present war. ; - -; .

Newlands, of Caldwell county, who was nominated this morning for Congress in the Eighth district in the Democratic convention at Wilxesboro stopped over here this evening by in yitation and will spend the night with relatives. His nomination, which was made on the 78th ballot was made unanimous, strong speeches being made by three of his opponents for the nomination, Bower, Hackett and Bowie. All promished the nominee loyal support. In reply to a question Mr. Newland stated tonight that he would issue challenges at once to ex Congressman E. Spencer Blackburn and R. Z. Linney for a joint canvass of the district. In an interview the leader of the Rowan delegation said, "My country will give Newland bigger majority than it did Congress man Kluttz two years ago." DUE TRIBUTE MUST BE PAID. The Glorious Woman of the Confed eracy Must Be Duly Honored. The memorial to the Women of the Confederacy must be completed ! It is a sacred duty the men Veterans and Sons and the younger "Daught ers " owe to these grand women. The appreciation of this fact lies deep "in every Southern heart. It only needs awakening. The United Sons of Confederate Veterans have most wil lingly assumed the duty of bringing our people to a realization of their sacred duty. The results of the com paratively slight-effort they made, hav ing resulted in raising over $1,000, ab solutely insure that now they have commenced work in earnest, success must surely and speedily crown their efforts. The Women of the Confederacy displayed a heroism, unparalleled in the ,: history of the world. They showed a devotion and God like for titude "which proved them to be fit companions tor the glorious men, who stormed the heights at Gettysburg and marched to death across Franklin's bloody plain." They are deserving of all honor, all praise, all glory. So de serving they should have our acknowl edgemejit of their deserts. It is due to them it is due to ourselves it is due to posterity, that such examples of sublime womanhood, should be hand ed down through all the coming ages by means of such imperishable me morial.' It is useless to discuss why man kind .in all times has thus honored its srreat heroes.' All races and all Deottles have done this, ff it is but natural to honor Caesar or Napoleon or ' Wash ington or Lee or Jackson, in imperish able form, why should we not honor those equally worthy and who have the brightest lustre on high human ef fort, the Women of the Confederacy. But argument is unnecessary. The obligation and the duty are appreciated by every Southerner.' It only remains that we respond to the dictates of our hearts, to accomplish the work.' The Sons, assisted by the veterans and the younger Daughters;' have undertaken this work, and they do not propose to rest themselves or allow our people to rest until it is finished. ; ; ; i" 5 " They have received the earnest en dorsement of Gen. " Stephen D. Lee, commander of the veterans, Gen. C Irvine Walker, Chairman U. C. V. committee on Co-operation, the unan imous endorsement of the U. G V, to which with the loving help of the younger daughters, will be united, all working together for one grand object, the supreme effort the Sons are putting forth. ; Such a combination of force must produce the accomplishment of the ends all arc striving for. - Success should must will crown the work.

An Asheviiie special of the rth to the Charlotte Observer says: " Asheviiie, Au?. 5. A telephone message received here from Bat Cave, 2 milos from Esmeralda Inn, late this afternoon says the body of Miss Laura Devereux had been found about 3 o'clock at the foot of a high cliff and that the presumption is the young wo man committed suicide, although there is said to be a possibility that she ,may have fallen over the cliff in an accidental manner and thus met death. The body was found by two young men and was cold and stiff. It could not be learned who the young men were or what disposition would be made of the remains. Miss Devereux, of Raleigh, arrived at Esmeralda Inn. in the Hickory Nut Gap section and some two miles this side of Chimney Rock, to spend some time in the mountains. Yesterday morning about 9 o'clock M iss Dever eux left the Inn, presumably for a stroll over, the mountains. At the dinner hour she had not returned and some alarm was felt. Later in the afternoon when Miss Devereux failed to appear an alarm was given and a party organized for the purpose of searching for the missing woman. The search was kept up all the afternoon and last night, but no trace of the lady could be found. The telephone message stated that when Mr. Logan, who had been with the searchers, had left Esmeralda Inn, preparations were being made to drag the river, in the hope of finding the remains if Miss Devereux had been drowned. Tammany Ratifies and Endorses the Ticket New York, Aug. 5. Tammany Hall ratified the nomination of Parker and Davis last night.
