All citizens of the State interested in this work are cordially invited to attend the convention and take part in its proceedings. MR. WILI.IFORD RESIGNS. J. A.

The fact that only three coaches were demolished and there were no passengers in these is con sidered remarkable. ICngineer Beckham, of the north bound train, is thought to have mis read orders to meet No. til at Gran ite, less than a mile from the scene of the wreck. It was impossible for either engineer to have seen the light from the other train for more than a minute before the crash. The collision was on the main line of the Seaboard from North to South, and both were through trains. The wreckage did not catch fire. Though many passengers were women there was no panic. There was con siderable suffering from the chill of a cold morning, but shortly after the wreck farmers brought coffee to the scene. Wrecking crews and relief trains were sent out hurriedly. The track was clear at 5 o'clock this afternoon. Lee Reinhcimer, a Richmond cigar salesman, was awakened when a wo man hurtled into his berth from the compartment ahead of'him. She tore a hole cleanly through the thin part tition of the sleeper. Raleigh, N. C. ,N.ov. 19. William J.

BRYAN FOR CABINET POST Once More Statement is Mide That He Will be Secretary of State. PORTFOLIO OFFERED HIM? Southern Congressman Says Ic Has and Has Been Ten tatiely Accepted. Washington, .Noc. 20. --Once inoi. the statement is made that William -J. Bryan will enter the Wil-on Cabinet and become the next Seirefiry of State. ' 1 his lime a prominent Southern Congressman who has been close ti the Nebraskan and who has represente I Bryan policies in the House for years is authority for the repoit that Gover nor Wilson has not only offered this portfolio to the Commoner, but thai lit has been tentatively accepted. M It is veil known that after the elei - tion Mr. Bryan emphatically told friends that he would not under an circumstances accept an appoint men! from the Presidentelect, or an y othf-r CQioVrat "m" HteWnlt'e House. The Nebraskan said this first when Gover nor Wilson was his guest at Lincoln, NeH., "and "repeated the declaration. Since that time however, forces havn( been at work to subordinate the in fluence of Bryan with the next adniin-i ist ration. Speaker Clark's freinds have again and again said that if Bryan or Bryan people tried to shape the program of the next House a fight would occur. Many of the followers of Mr. Under-- wood have intimated the same thing. They have taken the position that the"( record of this House, with which Mr. Bryan had little to do, was in a large measure responsible for the Democratic victory on November 5 and that if President Wilson wishes harmony la putting through his legislative program this can best be assured by co-operation with the House leaders rather than with leaders who have not been in accord with the present House pro gram. These facts, is it said today, hav prompted Colonel Bryan to change hifll mind about the Cabinet. They haw influenced him to reconsider his deter mination to remain a private citizen) and to do his work from outside in stead of inside of the next adminis tration.

Brothers, tinners, and by whom the-'. Machine Was constructed. "The machine stands about five feet in height and is built of corrugated metal. There is space in the rack holding the peanuts for the sacks and these are fed out one at the time as a nickel is dropped into a slot on the front of the machine. The mechanical parts are operated by a small electric motor and either gas or gasolene may be used for the burners beneath the roaster. . Patents on the machine are now pending and as soon as these are secured a company will be organized and will begin the manufacturing of these ' machines in this city. There wilt probably be two manufacturing plants the one here to supply the customers in the southern States and another located in some northern city and which will manufacture those sold' in that section. .
