ENTHUSIASTIC HOSTS GATHER Democratic State Convention Meets Tomorrow at Noon SESSION IN THE - ACADEMY OF MUSIC The City b Foil of Deleiatea, Candidate and Their Frienda The Hotels Crowded Convention will be Fad of Interest. The greatest political convention that, ever assembled in the State of North Carolina will 1m called to order in the Academy ot Music at noon tomorrow by Hon. F. M. Sim mons, chairmnn of the. Democratic Executive Committee of the State. Conservative estimates place the number who will be present nt from one thousand to fifteen hundred. A majority of these are already in the city, thev have been pouring in on every train and the hotels are now taxed to their utmost capacity. A large number of deueglttes anil visitors are also quartered in board ing houses and private families throughout the city. Upon falling e body to order. Chairman Simmons will probably briefly address the Convention, and then introduce the temporary chair man, who will make some remarks upon taking the chair. The convention wil then proceed to organize, and the various committees will go to work. A number of delegates stated today that they had no doubt that the con vention would complete its work to morrow night and adjourn. They thought thnt one day would suffice. THE CANDIDATES. The candidates for the various of fices are here and the ynnd their friends are busy with the delegations from the various counties. There is little organized work today because all the delegates are not on the pcene of action but with the arrival of the trains this afternoon the cau cusing will begin. Tonight the dele gates who are now undecided uon some of the ofliecs will reach definite conclusions and bv tomorrow when the gavel falls, ending the. great body " to ;6rder.' the clouds will have rolled away .anil the value of the stock of the winners will le high above par. The fact that Hon. Charles B. Ay cock will be unanimously nominated for Governor is of course conceded by nil. Jn fact he lia.s practically no op position. For Lieutenant Governor the nomi nation is between Colonel John S. Cnningham, of Person, and Mr. W. D. Turner, of Iredell. The friends of both claim that their man will win. Col. Cuuinghnm seems the favorite with a majority and the only thing which prevents his nomination on the first ballot, from being nn admitted certainty is the argument, which is being used, that since the Governor will come from the Fast the second place should go to a Western man. However, Col. Cuninghnm's friends point out that this is not a precedent in the Slate, and cite the fact that when Daniel G. fowle, of Wile, was nominate! for Governor, Thomas M. Holt, of Aliiiiance, was named for Lieutenant Governor, ami they en i much near being from the same sec tion than Ayicck and Cnninsrhnm are. it. J. Hrynn Grimes, of Pitt, and Mr. D. H. McLean, of 'Harnett, nrc the principal aspirants for successor to Dr. Cyrus Thompson. Secretary of State-." The friends of both -ire confi dent. The Aiiditorship is very undecided, but the friend of Dr. Dixon say that lie 's the man. The interest here is of course in tense in the candidates for the nomi nation for State Treasurer. Mr. 1!. 1!. Lacy is undoubtedly in the lead, while there are such men ns Mr. H. A. London, of Chatham; Mr. J; D. Jtoushull, of Wake; Col. W. 11. S. Bnr gwyn, of Vance, and Capt. Everett, of ltoek;ngIiam. cacti witn a strong toi Jowmgv Mr. LncyV friends says that they are confident of his nomination on the first balot, unless some heavy trn-.ltng Is dore after the nomination for Governor i made. Mr. J. ). Mc Call, of Charlotte, will place Mr. Lucy in nomination before the convention, nnd his nomiuafion will be seconded by several other delegates. "A for Attorney General Mr. Gil mer, Mr. Winston, Mr. Jerome, Mr. Justice, Mr. Warren nnd several oth ers have strength. A report has been circulated today that Senator M. H.. Justice, who was a candidate for Gov ernor, but withdrew, wns in the race for Attorney General. This is a mis take, it is" his son, Representative Justice, and Mr. H. M. Justice has . not been a. candidate for any other place, f The public ore showing the deepest Interest in the selection of a candi date r for Superintendent of Public Instruction. The name of nearly ev ery educator in i the ''State is being ': mentioned for the position. ' However, the stock of Superintendent Mebune has advanced on the market, consid erably during today. The Charlotte Ibesrver of -today cornea -out boldly ' in a strong editorial urging his nomi nation and declares thnt he shows In A his letter, published yesterdny,; that he is good and loyal Democrat. The Qbsorrer further points out that he ' voted for Bryan and Guthrie frtur . year ago.- "v .'.-.-, ' The friends of Commissioner of Vg rieulture Patterson are certain of his renomination. 1 For Commissioner of Labor Statis tics there are three candidates; Mr. at Salisbury, H.

('.. April 9. lion. Charles H. Mebane, Ualeigh, Xv C: Dear Sir: I am a Democrat ajd school teacher. I never did anything else except, teach, and never voted any; other ticket, except a Democratic tick-' et. For more than 25 years I have taught nine months in the year, nevet less than a hundred students, oftener more than two hundred. Mv work has been done in Cleveland nnd Bnther ford counties. Though my schools have liecn private institutions, yet 1 have been in constant touch with the public schools and public school teachers. I believe I know the wishes, of the -teachers of mv section. Nine, out of ten of them, I believe, recognize hsldcs were heavy the entirely unpartisan way in whiclj.rresumed today, t your nomination by the Democratic, convention which meets in a few days, ns the first step towards taking the public schools out of the withering blight of party politics. I pray that, , our parly may nave patriotism enough to do it. If in the expression of niy ilesire to sec you nominated there be those who would question my party' loyalty. I can cither pity or despise; for. while in these thirty vein's of la bor in the school room my head grown gray my heart has been given with promptness to every call of my party lenders to platform service, without asking or holding office, li the spirit of partisanship must lay its unholy liamls upon the most sacred ark of our covenant, the public school system of the Slate, then are the hopes of the teachers vain, and some of lit will lose to some extent faith, if not love.

THIS MORNING A disastrous wreck was narrowly averted on the Seaboard Air Line this morning when the. out-iioing north bound freight collided with sonic box cars, which were standing on the side track. The, engineer on the freight train. Mr. M. .1. Tighe. who lives at. the corner of Halifax and Johnston streets, hud his foot, sprained in the accident, but otherwise escaped. His hurt is not serious, to the delight of his many friends. The accident seems to have happen ed thus: The freight was leaving tin depot at Johnston street north bound. Just beyond the cotton mills is a sid ing on which some box ears had been backed. These cars must huve slipped down the siding nearer to the main it ruck after they had been placed on the. siding. Anyway, they came, into eoiitact with the engine drawing the freight train, striking the side of the engine, and tearing it partly away. The engineer stopped the engine in time to prevent further damage, and thereby saved the train from being bailly damaged. 'flic accident did not interrupt truf fle en the road and the II: IS north bound mail went out on schedule time.

PUTTING ON BRIGHT LOOKS Improvements Qoio( on io al Parts of the City Nothing is more pleasant to the hu man eye than beautiful and attractive painting: aud nothing gives us a more lofty inspiration than the pleasant scenejt wftH which we clime in con tact. It is a source of pleasure and in spiration to note the attractive styles and colors of painting of some of the most handsome residences and busi ness houses in our city, nnd which was executed by our esteemed citizen. Mr. W. W. Parrish, who is master of Ids profession, in the lines of plain and ornamental house and sign paint ing, fine and artistic graining, varn ishing nnd oil finishing. Mr. Parrish. as a citizen and busi ness man, is worthy of the confidence and est cent which he en joys by all who know him. and any one having work to do in his line, will be pleased if they have it executed by Mr. Par-, rish. l'.elow we give the names of some of the most prominent people in Ral eigh who are now having their resi dences and business buildings painted end finished up by Mr. Parrish: .Mrs. L.
