Shortly alter 3 o’clock yester
day afternoon the greatest con
vention ever held in the Old
North State passed into history.
The immense gathering of
Democrats in Greensboro was
indicative of the greatest victory
in the November election that
has ever been achieved by the
party in Its history.
The convention was not only
great in the number oi delegates
present hot in the character of
the men who shaped the deliber
ations of the body.
It was great in the amount of
noise that was made but this
was because of the intense en
thusiasm that filled the hearts
ol the good and true men who
made np the body.
From the very moment the
convention was called to order
by Senator Simmons until Per
manent Chairman Donghton de
clared the body adjourned, there
waa tha atop of victory depicted
on every face in that vast assem
blage. There was no kind of
doubt or uncertainty there ex
pressed or implied. It was noth
ing abort of absolute confidence,
a certainty of which there conld
be mistake.
Vha otaakarmv a# the QtataI.
Democracy gathered for a par
- poae and that purpose was to
name men, good and true, to
take charge of the State's affairs.
That this purpose was fulfilled,
there are none who can truth
fully deny. That the party rose
to the dignity of the occaaion,
cannot be controverted.
The man who will lead the
fight has been a leader of men
for year*. He has fought many
battles and has won them all.
He has sounded the praises of
his party from ase end of -the
State to the other. He never
has sulked nor will be ever be
called for the fray and not an
swer promptly.
In my mind the paramount
agency that contributed to the
nomination of Mr. Glenn, was
gratitude. The people some
times forget. They do not at
all times reward thoie deserv
ing. But North Carolinians are
a grateful peoplei They loaef to
be grateful and they will always,
at sometime or other, show their
gratitude In one way or another.
Mr. Glenn stood in the same
light as Senator Simmons.
Both had setved their party
without a suitable reward. Their
party felt that so obligation was
to be met aad right handsomely
did the people meet this obtura
tion, in both instances. Mr.
Glenn will be elected Governor
of North Carolina by the largest
majority in the history of the
Democratic party of the State.
He will make a splendid and
popular chief executive, because
be will be gaided by the wishes
of the majority of the best peo
ple, and this majority is seldom
wrong.
raere it little need ot going!
through the list of tie other
State official*. It it enough to
•know that a Democratic State
Convention, representing every
county in the grand old com
■Mcwcakb, has.. madtotbese
selection* and no mistake has
been made.
It ia Mg’ high time - for the
Democracy toippt on the armor
of a righteous'cause aad be in
readiness for every battle that
will be foaght between this and
next November.
The people will rale gnd U ia
right that they should.

Mr. Turner, comparatively
young yet, is still to be reckoned
with. He has a multitude of
friends throughout North Caro
lina and if nothing happens to
prevent, he will be a decidedly
likely as well as strong candi
date then. He is one of the
State's best men. A gentleman

Mr. Nolen had acquired a
great reputation for tact, so that
when Mr. Cassidy fell from a
ladder and broke hia leg it was
quickly decided by all the work
men tha| Mr. Nolan should bear
the tidings to Mrs. Cassidy.
"He broke the news gradual,”
said Mr. Leahy to bis wife that
night, "and by the time ahe
learned the truth she was as
ca'm as a clock, they say. Ob,
he’s thp great man, is Timothy
Nolan!"
"How did he do it?" asked
Mrs. Leaby, impatiently.
"Like this,” said Mr. Nolan’s
admirer. "He wint to the house
rang the bell, and he says.
Thin Dtnuia is not dead, Mrs.
Cassidy. or you’d never be so I
gay lookin.”
"Dead,' aka screeches. ’Who
said he was dead?’
"Thin ita not true'he’s near to
dyin* wid the smallpox, either,’
said Timmy Nolan, 'or you’d
nevar he lookin’ so a maxed.'
"Steal I pox’ aha cries. 'Has
b* got the Smallpox, Timmy
Ntf)an,and been'tuk to tb» hos
pit«l wid out me stylo’ good* bye
to huo?”
"Sure an’ he has not,’ said
Timmy Nohw, in a comfortin’
toae. ‘It’s only that be broke a
few boneain his right leg, faflin
from a ladder an’ rnasint ahead
wid the masrs.’ <
"It’s yeg that’s a tine friend,
and yon have lifted a big load

dy, and ahe gave a warm shake

Stanley, N. C.. June 23rd.—
The cotton mill at this place
has shut down in order to make
some repairs. The.boilers will
be replaced with a more im
proved pattern.
A whirlwind of chips has
been observed ia the novelty
wood shops at this niece during
the past week and some of Gas
ton county's most excellent

implements.
All of the wheat and moat of
the oat crop has been harvested;
both seem to be of good quality.
All crops seem to be standing
the dry weather fairly well.
Plenty of cotton squares show

Mr. Dan Long.
The faneral of Mr. Bdward L.

so many in tHU flower of their
maqbood, yielded np so readily
their lives for wbat they believed
to be the right. Thii comrade
whose face we now gaze on for
tbe last time received a tninnie
ball square in tbe face. It was
cnt out of bis throat tbe next
day by Dr. Gibbon of Charlotte.
Mr. Pegram kept tbe ball for a
number of yean, bnt accidental
ly lost it near Mountain Island
while showing it to some friends.
Mr. Pegram always spoke re
gretfully of losing this little sou
