that the Republican state Committee might soon
call the convention for the election of four dele
at-large to the Republican National Con-
vention. If this should be DONE the Republican
Congress District conventions would be held

hined. the Republican state Convention should
take place as early as March. the Congress Dis
t.ict conventions, at whiCn siXty-eight Delegates
t. the National Convention will be elected. un-
doubtedly would be held in February. There Is
no party rule requiring that the Congress Dis

publican state Convention. but this is the Gus
ton,. and probably II will be followed this year.

DEAD WOMAN'S DOLLAR.
Silver Coin that Was CIinched in the
Hands of the Murdered Woman.

A Raleigh young man was showing
yesterday a relic that has little
ghastliness about it, and telling his
friends the story of the charm.
When the negro woman, Annie
Green, was shot to death by Herbert
Womble Saturday she had in her
hand a silver dollar, and when the fin
gers grew cold and rigid in death they
were clasped firmly around the coin.
This young man who now possesses
the dollar with a story" went to the
scene of the murder soon after the
shooting occurred. He saw the coin
in the hand of the dead woman, and
unclasping the fingers that held it like
a wise took from the corpse its trophy.
He has been showing it to his
friends. They do not know the charm
of the coin, whether the luck it brings
be good or bad.
Almost every hour for the past two
days Madam Rumor has sent out a
fresh story of the capture of Womble.
One hears it in a new phase every day,
and yet when it is traced to its source
one finds there is nothing in it all. 1t
is thought the reward offered BY the
Governor will be instrumental in the
capture of the murderer But the
fact remains that the authorities
know nothing about the whereabouts
of Nomble.

GROSSLY MIsREPRESENTED.

At the last meeting Of the execu-
tive committe Of the North Carolina
Insane Asylum the attention of the
committee was called by the superin-
tendent to the case of Susan Turner,
of Pitt county, who was reported as
beng confined in an clubhouse, some
distance from any other building with
plank walls, which were driven full
of sharp nails to tear her flesh il she
approached them, and in fact that
her hands and arms were badly LAGER
ated from the nails and that she was
otherwise cruelty treated.
The executive committee immediate
ly appointed Mr.. r. r. Gotten, a mem
Der Of the committee, to visit the
place, investigate and report the facts
in the case. We are gratified to he able
to state that Mr.. Gotten found on
Investigation that the facts were en-
tirely misrepresented; that there was
no harsh or cruel treatment and the
woman was being kindly treated MIR
Gotten thoroughly eXonerates the au-
thorities from any blame in the matter
