IN THE FIFTH DISTRICT.
Settle and Adams Hold Il Conference 10
Decide Which Will Give Kitchen His
Scalp.

Scalp.
The Greensboro Record says that
while Greensboro folks were at church
on Sunday. II conference was being he'd
by Judge Adams and Tom Settle with a
view to settling their differences. Tom
wants the Judge to stay on the bench
and let him be nominated for Congress.
Adams is said to prefer this, but his
friends and Settles enemies are so hos
tile to it that he hesitates to agree to it.
The Judicial convention has been called
first, and Adams must soon decide. The
Record adds:
with what truth is not known, but
it has been flying around town for
a week or more than the Dukes have
said that if Settle was not nominated
they would not put a cent in the cam
paign pot; that Adams must get out Of
the way or they would see that he was
run over and mashed fiat. but if Adams
would content himself with running for
Judge. they would see that he was treat
ed white.
"On the other hand Adams friends say
Tom is not the man; that he is not ac
ceptable to the President: that some
months ago all the Republicans-frie
and enemies-petitioned the President 10
appoint him to some military position
but that he declined and gave some ex-
celent reasons for not doing So In fact
these reasons were so strong that his
friends took their hats and told the Presi-
dent good day"

The many friends Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Benson we're palned
to hear Of the sudden death. from
accidental poisoning, Of their
little II months old son last Fri-
day evening along about supper
time. Mrs. Benson had stepped
outside for some firewood, when
the Oldest boy, about four years
old, got a chair, drew it up to q
table which was standing across
the window. climbing onto the
table and took down bottle Of
carbolic acid, which was on the
upper part Of the window. Get
ting down from the table
the little fellow drew the cork
and handed the bottle to his little
baby brother who put it to his
lips and swallowed some of the
burning acid, the older brother
recorking the bottle and putting
it back in the window where he
got it. The distracted mother
summoned aid and a physician,
but in spite of all that could be
done in a few minutes frcm the
time it drank the poison the
spirit of the little boy had winged
its way into the unknown king
dom. It is indeed a very hard
blow to Mr.. and Mrs. Benson.
this being the second child they
have lost in the past two or three
years. The sympathy of this
whole community is extended to
them in this hour of deep attic
tion. The remains of the little
baby boy were laid to rest in the
Westley cemetery south of
town. The bereaved parents
feel keenly the loss of their loved
one. the mother having suffered
until she is bordering on nervous
prostration.

holding primary election in this

these gentlemen being the only can
didates from this county for the
place. This action was taken for
the reason that Maury at present has
none of the district offices, and,
basing her claims upon this ground,
she is Justly entitled to this one, and
to have more than one candidate in
the field would jeopardize her inter-
ests.
