The Democratic State convention will be called to- order In Metropolitan Hail tomorrow at noon and It will likeljbe this State for many years, surely the inest interesting ever held in an off election year. The convention will be .called to order by Hon. Clement Manly, - of Winston, and John W. Thompson, of Raleigh, will be secretary of the convention as it meets. The temporary organization of the convention will bring forth some dis cussion but the battle will come when the convention is called upon to make permanent organization and name cre dentials and resolutions committees. There will undoubtedly be much dis cussion in the resolution committee meeting and the convention will prob ably take a necessary recess during the absence of the committee. Whatever Is the decision of the committee, wheth er It be in favor or In opposition to the proposed co-operation with those who believe In white supremacy and the Chicago platform, there will probably be a minority report and on the two discussion, if each one is given all the time desired, will keep the conven tion in session, not. only all night, but probably a great part of Friday. The delegates have begun to arrive. They came in on all trains today and politics is all the talk in the hotel lobby. The Fusionists and the anti-Fusion-ists are here. ' Both sides are doing much talking. The gold element and the lukewarm supporters of the Chicago platform are a unit 1 nthelr opposition to any kind of of fusion or co-operation, while the en thusiastic advocates of the party prin ciples as enunciated in the campaign of 1S96 are zealously advocating co-operation with all who are willing to as--sist in establishing and maintaining white supremacy in North Carolina and promoting the national principles of the party. Even the war crank Is talking poli tics on the street. In the hotels and at private homes. There will be some discussion when the chairman of the State Executive Commmitttee is to be elected. Will he be from the East or from the West? Will he be a co-operationist or an anti-co-operationist? These are the two questions discussed by those here. In some delegations, where they claim to be united one way or another, some one Is found who surprises his col leagues. The almost unanimous opinion of the State press is that there are enough uninstructed delegates to carry the convention and tomorrow It will be known which way they carry it. Every train today has been crowded with delegates and the Yarborough and Park Hotels are rapidly filling up. TAKEN HOME IN DISGRACE. A Wilmington Girl of Good Family Found Ruined in Raleigh. There is today a heart-broken moth er in Raleigh, but her love for her seventeen-year-old daughter is too true for her to allow the younger, wo man to sink lower into the depths of disgrate. The Wilmington Company arrived In Raleigh more than ten days ago to join the Second Regiment, and with the departure of the soldier boys from Wilmington began the story of the ruin of a fair young woman, who, since childhood, has held the respect of every one in her home town. With the Wil mington company Is a well know and popular young man. and he has been a great friend of the young woman concerned. A few days after the arrival of the Wilmington company, a handsome young woman arrived on the afternoon train from Goldsboro. She had no friend In Raleigh; no one to give her a wor dof advice. She was lonesome and only looked to seeing the soldier boy she loved, but fell mong disgraceful people and her life has been blurred, her character ruined and tonight repentent she goes home in disgrace to outlive the sin and make herself a better and proper woman. The mother is Mrs, J. D. Gdom, and her husband is a well known whole sale dealer In fish, oysters and game. The girl's name is Cora Odom and for several years she has led the singing In the choir of Immanual PresbyteriarV church, Wilmington. Today she told the sad story of her ruin.
