FOR CONGRESS
GEORGE w. THOMPSON.
TIE DISTRICT CONVENTION.
OF WAKE COUNTY.


The Convention to nominate candidate for
Congress in this District met at Franklinton on
Wednesday last and adjourned sine die ON Thurs
dav. That venerable patriot aud consistent Dem
ocrat, Gen. Joseph Allison, of Orange, presided.
One hundred aud thirteen delegates were in at
tendance.
The Convention, in balloting for candidate,
adopted the popular vote the basis of represent
tation, each County casting the number of votes
given in August last for Gov. Bragg, and major
ity of the delegation deciding for whom the vote
should be cast.
Messrs. A W. Venable, Jones of Orange, Ar
ring.on of Nash, Pritchard Of Warren, Sanders
of Johnston, and Thompson of Wake, were voted
for: and on the fourth ballot GEORGE w.
THOMPSON, of Wake, having received two
thirds of all the votes cast declared the choice
of the Convention and the nomination was then
made unanimous amid much enthusiasm Gentle
men from the different Counties then address,
the Convention, pedging their cordial supper and
that of their friends the nominee and the Con-
venton adjourned in the most harmonious spirit,
all the members being animated by the best feel
ing and by determination tc elect the nominee
by triumphant maj ority.
GEORGE w. THOMPSON is not unknown to the
people of the District. He has served Wake
County repeatedly in the State Senate, having
been elected in 1914, 1916, and 1913; and he is,
in all probability, the most popular man in the
County. He is candid, straightforward, honora-
Die man-an independent farmer, with thirst
for Office, and no ambition but such should
innate virtuous citizeir-that of being useful in
his day and generation called, as he has
thus been, to the performance of public duty. We
know him to be reliable both a and
Denocrat-a staunch friend of the administration,
and the uneompromising opponent of Know Moth
ingism. We know him, too-for we have heard
him often, and with pleasure-to be one of the
abest and most impressive public speakers in the
District.
The proceedings of the Convention shall appear
in our next and our Associate, Mr. Wilson, who
was in attend tnce, will doubtless furnish read
with full and interesting account of what was
said aid done.

GAS FOR TUE CRY.

A meeting was held here one day last week, to
take into consideration the subject Of lighting the
City with gas; aud committee, consisting of
Messrs. Palmer Cooke, Jordan, Williams Pescud
Burch and Dewey, was appointed to wait upon
the citizens with view to raising the necessary
stock. The gentleman who was here from Balti-
more has furnished estimates for the construction
of the works Thirty thousand dollars will be re-
quired and it is proposed to raise this amount by
subscriptions to stock company in shares Of fifty
dollars each, the Baltimore company taking. AT
once ten thousand dollars of the stock. The works
proposed to be erected will furnish an ample sup
ply Of gas for the whole City, and also for the
Asylums, for St. Mary's. for the State House and
grounds, and the GoverRors Mansion. The gas
will lie distributed opposite each PERSONS door, and
a meter will be furnished by the company. Each
consumer will then put in his own pipe, which will
cost from six to fifty dollars according to the Size
of the dwelling and the number of rooms to be
supplied. The gas will be disposed of at So Is
per thousand feet, registered 10y the meters. At
this price learn that each burner will less
than one and half per hour, and will give as
much light as camphesie lamp. The gas to be
made from the oil Of rosin, which is said to be
equal if not superior in every respect to any coal
gas.
In connection with the subject we copy the fol-
lowing from the Hagarstown (Md) Chronicle,
showing the Importance and value of the article
and the cheap rates at which it can be furnished
Hagarstown, which is a much smaller place than
Raleigh has works of the kind referred to- The
Editor says:
LAS practical test of the advantage of this light

consumption and cost for the time during which
it has been in operation. We have four burners
two of which have been used almost every night
and very frequently the whole number, to late
hour. We burned from Nov. % to March 18th, l.
$50 feet at cost of 81 So. The average cost per
burner, was one cent and one-cght per night,
four cents and onehalf Tor the whole light. To have
afforded even Indifferent light for business,
would have taken each night from pound to
pound andahalf of candles, the cost of which would
have been at least 1S8 cents-more than four times
much as the gas To have made equal light,
and to afford equal advantages, would have taken
than five times this number of candles, with
their proportonate COST and the dirt and grease in
cident to their
No man who has made the experiment., can doubt
its advantages, its economy and its superiority
every other light ond we much ,ubt VIII .ther
uld be induced to dispense with its use after
having enjoyed its beauty and luxury"
We have thus laid the material facts and alvan-
tages before citizens, and it is for them to de
eide whether they will avail themselves not of
the liberal offer thus made by the Baltimore
pany. The gentleman who has the matter in
charge for the Baltimore compsuy, will, We pre-
sumo, visit the CITY again soon.

The ton(ConnecticuD Sentinel and Witness
says:
BY comparison with the vote this year, it will
be seen that all the counties but New Haven give
less vote for Mr.. Ingham governor than last year

however, is only about 1900 less while Mr.. buttons

votes of that secret party, many wings, and temper
ance men. With so many isms, together with
thoroughly organized secret party against Mr.. Ing
ham-an organization which swept all before it in
Massachusetts,, Maine. New Hampshire, and Rhode
Island-it is remarkable that he held so his
own. 1t shows that the Democratic party although
it may have-temporarily only, we trust-lost some
of its members in that new political order through
the wes of office seeking men, yet they still
numerous, and with thorough organization and an
enlightenment of the public mind soon regain
