An Old Story.

The Christian Scientists continue to
experience serious reverses. Not so
much has been heard of these peculiar
people out this way during the last
two or three years, but in spots in the
country they are still growing in num-

case has just occurred. which, though
by no means a novelty, illustrates with
peculiar force the ignorance. infatua-
ton and folly of Christian Scientists
when they attempt to heal the sick.
The wife of Isaac II. Hurst. a pros
porous carpenter. became a convert to
the faith, and when Mr.. Hurst was
taken Ill a few days ago. through the
solicitations of Mrs. Hurst, a band OF
the Scientists surrounded the bed.
They diagnosed his trouble as typhoid
fever accompanied by Bright's disease.
They called daily and prayed for hours
] about Mr.. Hurst's bedside. but in spite
/ of all their efforts he grew worse. Al
/ though he suffered the most excruciat-
ing pains he appeared content with the
treatment he was receiving and fer

/ Scientists. The sufferings of the sick
man were SO intense that his wife be-

a regular physician. The physician
diagnosed the case as one of innamma-
tion, and announced to the now thor
aughly sorrowful wife that her hus.

Hurst died the same night in the mos
terrible agony. Had he received prop,

FRIDAY. JANUARY IL, 1896.
At Chicago.

Four cities fought IL out yesterday
for the honor of the democratic ma
tional convention. Twenty-Five bal
lots were necessary to choice. A
number of significant considerations
entered into the controversy, and the
town that seemed hopelessly out OF the
race at the start was the winner.
The Standards special Washington
dispatch of yesterday outlined the pre-
dicament in which the candidacy OF
New York put the national committee.
The friends of silver drew the line.
They served notice that the selection
of New York would be the signal for
trouble; they did not propose, in con-
vention time. to pitch their tents on
the goldbugs chosen field.
That was notice to which the large
majority of the committee evidently
deemed 1t wise to pay heed. New York
was at no time dangerously strong in
the succession of ballots-the result of
IL all is. that city's candidacy cost Gin
cinnati the national convention. AT
the outset, Chicago hadn't half dozen
votes. What New York gets out of
the contest is the empty satisfaction of
saying that it's forces compelled the
compromise and elected Chicago.
The city of Chicago's first national
political convention was held in 1860
when Lincoln was nominated on the
third ballot. The results were so sat
isfactory that, in 1864. the democrats
concluded TO try Chicago; they nomin-
ated Mcclellan on the first ballot. In
turn, four years later, the republicans
went back TO Chicago and nominated
Grant unanimously on the first ballot
Thereafter, for twelve years, Chicago
was neglected, but In 1850 the republic
ans again met in Chicago and nom-
mated Garfield. The year 1884 found
both political parties in convention al
Chicago. The republicans met there In
1883, the democrats in 1892. OF the five
republican candidates nominated fol-
the presidency at Chicago. four have
been elected.

the proposed tour was taken in token
of harmony on all sides of New YORK
republicans. The politicians guessed
that Platt had promised to let Fassett
be the next candidate for governor
1t is likely that Mr.. Fassett's west
ern trip will be postponed; he has
pressing business on hand in his own
bailiwick 1t appears that Platt is still
in pursuit of the ambitious young
statesman. Already, and with surpris-
ing suddenness, the Platt forces have
taken preliminaries for the local con-
ventions in Fassett's district-it is pro-
posed to hold them in February. This
course is without precedent. 1t in
dicates that Plat proposes to start in
early in his attempt to put Fassett out
of the way; 1t leaves the public to infer
that, while the New York delegation
is to be Platt's, there is open question
whether IL is to be Morton's.
1t is as well. If there is sincerity in
republican profession. what could Fas-
sett hope to accomplish in Montana in
the interest of one of silver's arch
enemies? A tour of this state ought
to be a waste of time and of his wife's
money. If he can leave his own dis
trict to Platt's mercy long enough to
come West, he would better enjoy the
season ON the coast and write to the
New Workers. that Morton has no show
in Montana.

Mr.. C. B. Edwards, the senior mem
Der of the firm was born near Louis
burg, Franklin county, 10th of July,
1914 During the year 1856 his father
moved with his family to Wake county.
Mr.. Edwards had often expressed a
desire to be prin ter, but at the age of
10 he was placed with the Neuse Paper
Company, located at Milburnie, as an
apprentice. Here he applied himself,
serving four years, at the expiration of
which time he had mastered all the de-
tails of paper making, which has been
so beneficial to him in his present bus
mess. On visit to Raleigh he found
an opening for an apprentice in the of
fee of The Church Intelligencer, edi-
ted by Rev. T. S. w. Mott, in 1861,
where with his usual foresight and
quick perception he soon mastered the
intricates of the cart preservative,"
and when he united with Raleigh Typo
Union, No. 81, he was acknowledged
to be the best all-round printer ever
turned out from an office in Raleigh.
Mr.. Edwards has never had a taste
for politics, but devoted his time and
talents to his chosen profession. At
the earnest solicitation of his friends
(he consented to run for Alderman
from the Fifth Ward in 1880, and was
elected by handsome majority, serv-
ing his constituency faithfully for
some years. While chairman of the
street committee, he was the first mem
Der of the Board to advocate street
paving.
Mr.. Edwards is an honored member
of Manteo Lodge, No. 8, /. o. O. F. hay
