Many Republicans not -.-ncm.v-rs t t'l.' romm'ltee were here ml sevoi.-M w-r: present at the meeting There was some opposition to holding any State convention this year but this wax overruled and the convention called to meet in this city at noon July 20th. The members of the committee are a follows State, at large II. L. Grant, of Golds horo; James H. Young, of Wake: Tyre Glenn, of Guilford: O. R. Middleton, of Dnplit ; J. C. Dancy, of Rowan. Second District R. J. Lewis, of Halt fax First District S. A. Bloun", of Carte let. Third District Robert Hancock. of Craven. Fourth District P. T. Massev, of Fifth District J. A. Norwood of Sixth District W. S. flanton, or Mecklenburg. Seventh District J. W. Long, of Ir-- dell Nth District H. S. Harkins. . There are two vacancies cau-ed by death. Mr. R. O. Lange and E. S. W.il ten from the Eighth District are tne dead. Tae question of fusion with the Pop ulists was talked over informal'' but ni'thir.g definite was decided is Inn 'oninittfe in their morning session is h'hI no address and took no formal ac tion. 'I lie members of the committee re Uu;i to their homes tonight. IT MEANS SOMETHING. '. hose who have watched the State press most carefully have been expect ing something warm erelong. The fol lowing from the Biblical Recorder will probably be remembered when other things have been forgotten: "Of fa reaehing importance is the decision of the United States Supreme court that follows: the North Carolina tonnage tax on 1. Moszkowski. Krakowiak, Piano fertilizers is valid. From this tax the Misses Allie Lee and Olive Armstrong. Agricultural Department of the State 1. Strelezki. Dreams, Kevin, The Mer government derives an income of about ry. Merry Lark Soprano. Miss Helen $110,000. It is true that the department i Willi y. Violin Miss Ida E. Martin, at present does but little more for the Moffat. Ballade, Violin Miss Helen people than inspect fertilizers: but this Smedes. is an inestimable service to the farm- t. Orodsky. Gondoliera. Piano M'ss eis. The Bulletin of the department, l.buiio Pearson. which any one may-obtain free, makes :,. Horrocks. The Bird and the Rose, it easy for a farmer to know just ' Mezzo-soprano Miss Florence Holt, what he buys in his bag of guano, and j r,. Moffat. Memories, Violin T. Mis thus to get what he wants. There are, however, great possibilities of a positive character before the depart ment. Even now it maintains a mag nificent museum, and also a more or h ss alive Immigration bureau; but the greatest service will he rendered when the department shall become the repre- sentative of the Agricultural interests of North Carolina to her own people, her eneral Assembly, and the wrold lh general. As it appears to us, this De partment can do great things toward the improvement of the condition of our formers. It has done but little recent ly, because this decision was pending, which had It been adverse, would have made the department bankrupt. I IT REMAINS TO BK SAID, IN 'CONCLUSION, THAT VERY LITTLB jfAN BE EXPECTED OF ANY DE PARTMENT OF GOVERNMENT WHICH IS USED TO TAKE CAR'S OF POLITICAL PIE-HUNTERS AND CASTAWAYS: AND WE MAKE BOLD TO DECLARE THAT THIS DE PARTMENT HAS BEEN USED FOR THIS PURPOSE, AND THAT THB SOONER IT IS RUN IN THE IN TEREST OF THE PEOPLE INSTEAD OF POLITICIANS THE BETTER FOR ALL CONCERNED." DESERVED PROMOTION Dalen Stronach, of Raleigh, Ap Mr. pointed Sergeant Major. The many friends of Mr. Dales Stronach, until today Regimental Cleric under Col. W. II. S.

The North Carolina, divisions of the Naval Reserves will be called out this week and will be mustered into service at some point yet to be definitely se tied upon but most probably Wilming ton. Letters have been received here pre paring for the order and giving instruc tions as to the conditions under which the men will be mustered into the Uni teil States navy. The instructions state that the Wilmington. Newbern. Soutliport. Kinston and Elizabeth City divisions are to be called out and mus tered into service under their present organization. The rank of the men is to lie the same as it now is under tne State law and the pay is to be that of the corresponding rank in the United States navy. The rhief officer in command from North Carolina will be Lieutenant Commander Morton, of Wilmington, who has been ill the service for somp time. Mr. Morton wires the Adjutant Gen eral that the Reserves are ready and will respond promptly to the rail. The 1,',-si rves number in all about 3000 me.n ond it is th.- request of Mr. Morton ihnt they be ordered to mobilize at Wilmington.
