all, the delegate being canvassed a.
to whether or not they were going td
support Taft. Apparently the Roose
velt people didn't want to get in the
.convention as none of them showed up.
When it came to the question of
selecting delegates to the State con'
ventton. Mr. Hancock furnished some
additional diversion by ihsUting that
nobody be appointed as a delegate un
less he would pledge himself to attend
the convention. As soon as- a person
was named, Mr. Hancock would turn to
him and ask, "Will you go to the con
ventiSn?" If there was a negative
reply or one that indicated doubt, Mr.
Hancock would insist on somebody
rise beinff named. A lot ol time was
consumed in this way, but finally the
list was made up as follows
Delegate. John Biddle, D. W. Bas-
nieht. R. H. Rowe and J. A. Morton;
alternates, J. F. Heath, Sam White,
J. S. Basnight and McD. Laughing-house-
Delegates to the Senatorial con
vention were named as follows: W. F.

nates. J. M. Harrison, J. A. Toler,
t. G. Hardison, and J. U. Smith,
Col. Hancock precipitated a long
debate, conducted largely by himself,
over the question as to whether-there
should be eight members of he ex
ecutivf committee or eleven. He
armied at lenath for eleven and though
interupted several times wa permitted
by the chairman to speak until he was
ready to sit down. In this fight the
convention voted against him. Mem'
bers of the committee a selected are:
D. W. Basnight, John Biddle, 'H. A.

Mr.. George Green, who was elected
by the convention as chairman of the

member.
Towards the shank of the con'
vention Deputy Collector J. G.Hard:
ison offered a resolution endorsing the,
Reoublican party in general: and John

brought Mr. Hancock to fiis feet about

The main feature of the "Labor Day

was the firemen' , tournament Jield

an hour late in starting, i nen me
local companies and two, companies
from Kinston appeared on the1 scene.
The races were governed by the rules
of the Srate FKemen' Association.
Each race appeared to be very inter
esting to the large crowd present. An
excursion train-of sine coaches came
in" from Wilmington, while hundred
attended from' Kinrton and other
points on the Norfolk Southern rail
road. Over 1200 ticket were sold
entitling bearers to addmittance
side the lines.
No records were broken and no- very
remarkable time made, still gtbe tourn
ament appeared to be a success- The
reason given for not mhking a better
showing was-that tne water pressure
was but fifty pounds. The Atlan
tics of New Bern won first prize
money. The time of the different runs
follow:
Atlantics. 33 4-5
Caswell (Kinston) 41 3-5.
New- Bern No. 1, 35 2-5.
Riverside, 35 2-5.

blew off at the hydrant."

had a- qhief actors: Chief Fraank Hill,
O. Baker, who made jump at the
hydrant; Floyd Wootett, who broke
the coupling and F. T. Harper driver

Shortly after the discovery of the
body, two negroes, Charlie Moore
and Test ''Hilt, were found hiding under
a church. They were arrested, charged
with murder, and brought to New
Bern Sunday- afternoon and lodged
in jail.
Dr. R. DuVal Jones, the coroner,
went to Dover yesterday morning and
held an Inquest. A cornorer's jury was
empanelled and several witnesses ex
amined. The negro Test Hill was held
for the murder, with his companion,
Charlie Moore, as an accessory. They
now await the action of the grand jury,
without bail, in New Bern jail.
Hill claims that Johnson first as
saulted him, stabbing him in thp neck
and hip. Moore was also cut in the
shoulder. To offset this, a closed
knife was found in the pocket of the
dead man. The coroner's jury simply
found that'lohnson died as a result
of hemorrhage from wounds inflicted.
by Hill.
Johnson after being stabbed, ran
to the house of his employer, Mr. C.
H. Haddock, and tried to get in. The
screen door was hooked and the wound
ed man, failing to get inside the house,
fell across a settee beside the door
and in a few minutes expired.
