A PERSIAN pRINCELING

Prince Malik Mansur Mira Shua, second
son of the Shah of Persia, a young man
about 10 years of age, is coming to Eng
lana in January. His visit has not aroused
particular enthusiasm, in view of the ex-
perlences resulting from previous visits OF
Persian royalties. The manners of Prince
Maik, who is described as diminutive,
weakly youth, are, however, said to be pleas
ant and he is fairly well cultured.

ZIG-ZAG LINNEY AGAIN.
He Had Heard of Winston's Munich
pal Election.

Congressman Linney passed through
the city. last week on his way from
Yadkinvil1e to Rutherford College,
where he J delivered an address.
He reported a large crowd and a fine
commencement at Y Yadkinville.
The t'Bull of the Brushies,'' in re-
ply to queries propounded by the
reporter, "hooted at the idea that
there is a movement to defeat him for
denomination. He admitted, however,
that such thing was possible. He
claimed to have letters assuring him
that every county in the district would
be for him at the Convention.
'Were you advised as to the result
of WinstOn's recent municipal cleo
tion?" asked the news man.
''Oh, yes," replied Mr.. Linney with
a disappointing smile. He added that
the report to the effect that he had
been told Mr.. Crutchfield had no fol-
lowing in Winston was mistake.
''He had mighty strong petition for
the Winston postoffice and l wanted
to appoint him, but the other man in
the race bad stronger endorsement, as
1 thought, hence l thought it best to
ask for his appointment, said the
man who left the Democratic party
and went over to the RAIDS just for a
slice of pie.

DIR. BROUGHTON TO HELP.
He May Accompany Rev. Dwight
Moody to Cuba.

When the religious forces of Dwight
l.. Moody, the noted evangelist, go to
Cuba with the invading a,my of the
United States for the purpose of
preaching the gospel to the soldiers
and to minister to their spiritual
needs, it seems likely that Rev. Len
G. Broughton, pastor of the Third
Baptist church of Atlanta, may ac-
company them.
DR.. Broughton is now at Ports
mouth, Va, where he is carrying on a
very successful series OF revival meet
ings. In writing to one of his close
friends in Atlanta, he has the following
to say of his plans:
MOODY is arranging to put evan
gelists in the camps and to follow up
the boys in CUBA. This strikes me as
being ordered of God. 1t Will furnish
the chance to preach not only 90 our
own boys, but the Cubans as well.
After much thought and prayer Wol:-
sohn and myself have offered our-
selves at such time as may be ar
ranged. -

May 25 was alumnae day in connec-

IT WAS TURNED DOWN
BUTLER'S FUSION PROPOSAL
TO DEMOCRATS.
Executive Committee Estopped from
Further Negotiations-Large At
tendance Upon State Conven-
tion-EnthusiasmP Prevailed.

In view of the fact that no nOmina-
tons were to be made beyond the rati-
fication of the nominees for Judges in
the several Districts, the attendance
upon the Democratic State Conven-
ton May 26th, at Raleigh, was quite
large, the number of delegates being
estimated at five hundred, showing
that deep interest was felt in the
proper disposition of Buffers propo-
sition for fusion, which, it was known,
would be presented to the Conven-
ton.
That the absurd proposition was
dealt with to the satisfaction of
large majority of the Democrats of
the State is shown by the report of
the Committee to which it was referred
and which report was adopted with
out dissenting vote. This report
was as follows:
''The committee on platform and
resolutions, by direction of the con-
vention, having had under considera-
tion the propositionfo for fusion made by
a committee of the Populist party, rec
Ommend that this convention adopt
the following resolutions in respect
thereto:
Resolved, 1. That the proposition
for fusion submitted by the Populist
committee be, and the same is hereby,
respectfully declined.
Resolved, 2. That the Democratic
State Executive Committee be, and the
same is hereby, instructed to enter
tain no further proposition for fu-
sion.
Resolved, 3. That the secretary of
the convention transmit a copy of
these resolutions TO the chairman of
the Populist Executive Committee. -
1t was understood that six members
of the Committee opposed and three
members favored fusion, but, in the
interest of harmony, the minority de-
cided to make no report and thus the
anticipated lengthy and warm discus
sion of the subject was fOrestalled.
The platform adopted ratifies the
last Democratic National and State
platform; denounces the Dingley tar
iff; favors an income tax; opposes
bond issue and favors coinage of the
silver seignorage and the issue of
greenbacks to meet the war expenses;
denounces the scandal, extravaganza,
incompetency and corruption of the
present Republican State administra-
election of United States Senators and
Railroad Commissioners by tie peo-
pie, etc. We will publish the platform
in full tomorrow.
AT 11:15 last night the Convention
adjourned amid great harmony and a
strong determination to make a vigor-
Gus campaign for the restoration of
good government in North Carolina.

The following counsel filed briefs

The court took the papers and it is
hoped that it will make known this

it will grant the writ. However, the
court will adjourn in the latter part of
the week and it is quite possible that
it will withhold it's decision until it re

The Delsarte Drill a Pleasing Fea-

The Academy chapel was crowded
Tuesdaynight, May24. Seventeen MEM

They were all good. In addition to
the essays strong and creditable
program of vocal and instrumental
music and elocution was rendered. A
pleasing feature of the entertainment
was the Delsarte Drill by Miss Scri-
ber's pupils. Miss Louise Bahnson,
the graceful and accomplished daugh-
ter of DR.. and Mrs. Bahnson, captur-
ed the audience in her posing.
The last essay, presentation of

Mr.. HOLTON TALKS.
He Says the Republicans Will Never
Accept the Populist Proposition
as Submitted to Democrats

District Attorney Holton, who is
still chairman of the Republican State
Executive Committee, stated to a
SENTINEL man last week that
his party would never accept the pro-
position as made to the Democrats by
the Populists. He thinks the action
of the State Democratic Con ~ention
yesterday was a terrible slap at B, T.
Ter.
A prominent Republican, who was
in Raleigh Thursday, remarked to
one of the Winston delegates that the
Democrats served Butler ard his fol-
lowers right and he ventured the pre-
diction that tie Republicans would do
the same thing. This Republican
holds no Office now. Another member
of that party, however, who has a
pretty fat job, said to the same Win
ston delegate that he was glad the
Democrats refused Buffers PROPOSE
ton. "We need and will get them
now," he added.

MURDER AT KEY WEST.
Strong Demand that Martial Law be
Declared.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 25.-Increas-

machinist, aged ffty-five years was
found dead early this morning within
the blockade, at Key West Hotel, with
his head and face bruised almost be-

nation. The only policemen here,

that somebody has been sleeping in
the residence of Mrs. C. A. Fogle, on
Belews Creek street, for some time.
Mrs. Fogle is in Texas. The party

found scattered over the floor and the
party had fire in the fire place. The
chest in which the clothing of Mrs.
Fogle's husband are kept was broken

in the house at night for some time,
but they thought Mrs. Fogle had
