The attendance at the convention
was an "eye-opener" to the Republi
cans. Editor Goshen. Willard Masten
and J. ?. Stanton looked sad and for
lorn." The hall was too full Of Dem
ocratic enthusiasm TO make them feel
comfortable. The Captains "whIs-
tier" stopped short off when two Of
the speakers told about the Republl-
can editor being closeted with Mary
Ann Butler in Raleigh last week.
Capt. r. B. Glenn brought down
the house, in his eulogy of Sheriff
Macarthur. He said that he did not
blame Mr.. w. A. Blair for speaking
SO feelingly when he nominated Bob
Macarthur. The truth of it is" said
the Captain, Macarthur is the first
sheriff that has ever been able to col
lect poll tax out of Friend Blair.
The latter arose and tried to explain,
but the yells that went up killed
every word of explanation.
Mr.. A. E. Shore, whose name was
placed in nomination for the House,
did the handsome thing after Mr..
Hunter was nominated, by heartily
endorsing the nominee.
A prominent colOred man was heard
to remark Saturday night that the
Democrats had put out the strongest
and best ticket that could have been
selected. "They are all good men,"
he said, ''and haye my doubts about
any of them being defeated. l don't
believe man can be found in the
county that Will beat Sheriff Near
thur. He is the finest sheriff the
county has ever had"
In accepting his nomination, Clerk
Stafford said that if elected this time
he would not ask for the office any
more, as he thought two terms enough
for one man.
Treasurer Griffith said that the Re-
publicans were already conceding his
election. Mr.. Griffith led the ticket
two years ago.
