Raleigh, N. C., May 22. For ten years, ever since George Vanderbllt be-1 gan his great improvements at Biltmore near Asheville, the newspapers have had stories about his efforts to oust Charles Collins, colored, who owned . 6 acres of land in what may be called the heart ot the Biltmore estate. It was claimed that Collins had refused to sell his cabin and land, at any J price, and that he had been offered as much as $50,000, but had refused it. Mr.. Van- derbilt made a personal statement that he had made no such offer, and had had 1 no trouble with Collins, to whose accu-1 pancy of the land heid not object at all, -Collins being a very quiet man.

We can go to the farmers and merchanlcs and ask if they want peace and quiet or volcanic eruptions, if they want to be guessing how far the presi dent Is going to bring us into conflict with other nations, or what be is going to stir up in doniestio politics." Relative to ; Judge Parker Mr. Wil liams said: - . . -;We will nominate a man who knows how to keep his mouth shut when it is necessary.

He has been a lawyer and a judge and has con tracted the habit of looking at things in the old and safe way. He knows that one cannot create history over night but a man who is a statesman informs himself of the facts of the -past and thus decides what should be struggled for in the future."

"Why the most rediculous thing that I have ever heard of was that Judge Ewart arose, soon after the opening of the convention, and made a resolution that the chairman of the executive committee oppoint six new members of the state executive committee. You and everyone else knows that such a resolution," which Provides that the chairman of the executive committee make such appointments, -is : directly against the princi pies of Republicanism and Democracy.

The primaries will be held in the after- noon in the county and at night in the, City.-With the primaries less than three weeks off the fight of the candi dates for the Democratic nomination for the various county offices is gruwing warm.

It is gen erally believed, however," that a full ticket will be nominated although there are many I nfluential Republ icans; who believe that it would be best not to place a county ticket in fields that . they have little chance for victory, and that if a ticket was not, nominated; it would aid Judge Ewart in-redcin"g the Demo cratic majority in ; this county, or of possibly carrying the county.
