A WELCOME FOR ALL.

In its account of the full Democratic
county convention held in Louisburg,
the Franklin Times says;
Among the notable and pleasing Incl
dents of the proceedings was the an
nouncement from w. III. Beddingfield,
W. II. Joyner and others that they had
been affiliating with the opponents of
Democracy and it was their earnest de-
sire to be received back into the ranks of
the party. They were given a hearty
welcome, the convention voting unani-
mously upon their applications.
The welcome that is given all who
come back is sure TO have a good effect
in inducing others to do likewise.
The Warrenton Record, in publishing
the proceedings of the Warren county
convention, said:
1T made us feel good and hopeful to
see such large attendance, and that
too of many who have heretofore some
what strayed off from the Democratic
fold. 1t means that our white people
are coming together again. We could
not help but be struck with the fact
that the delegates composing this con-
vention represented the intelligence.
wealth and education of our beloved
county, and that the salvation of our
county and State must rest with just
such men rs composed that convention"
This is the truth. There is no hope in
North Carolina except in the united ac-
tion of the white men who elected Vance
and compose the best element of our
population.

EXCELLENT NOMINATIONS.

The two Democratic Judicial conven.
tions that met yesterday made wise
nominations. Judge Bryan has been on
the bench eight years, and has won the
confidence and respect of the bar and
the people. Judge Allen has been on
the bench only two years, but wherever
he has gone he has made reputation
that gave him denomination.
Solicitor Daniel has made an ideal
solicitor, and deserved the honor Of a
denomination by accamation. Mr..
Rodolph Duffy, Of Onslow, has twice
represented his county in the House with
conspicuous ability. He is able, honest
and fit.

Chinese Labor.

One hundred and seventy three

says the Whatcom Reveille, from Port
land to Blaine, where they will make
100000 or 100000 cans for the
canneries of the Alaska Packers AS
sOciation at Blaine and Semiahmoo.
The men are under contract to
Ching Sen, Chinese contractor who
has guaranteed at least 100000 cans
ready for the association by July /,
when they will probably be first
needed. Sen is accompanying the
men to Blaine. He may make con-
siderably more cans than the number
guaranteed. The number guaran-
teed will fill 10000 cases of the ordi-
nary commercial size, and it may be
that enough will be manufactured to
fill 100. 1000 cases.
The canneries furnish the tin plate,
the machinery and the buildings in
which the cans are made.
There is movement of Chinese
to and from Portland and the Sound
canneries two, three or four times
every year. Portland seems to be the
rendezvous for the contract Chinese
laborers of the Pacific Northwest, and
the going and coming of the men
hired there to work in the Fraser

Cost of a Naval Battle.
New York World.


1t is calculated that an hours bat
tie between such warships as the
Massachusetts of the United States
and the Palayo of Spain would cost
81, ,OOO, 900 in powder and ball. In an
hours time the Massachusetts might
fire her four 13-inch guns twenty
times. That would mean eighty pro-
jectiles weighing $4,000 ponnds, or
forty-four tons OF shot and shell hurl-
ed toward her opponent. Her eight
8-inch guns might boom their fierce
greetings half as often again. That
would mean nearly thirty-six tons
more. Powder costs 25 cents a pound,
averaging the different sorts used on
a battle-ship. The quantity of pow
der used to eject these 120 tons of pro
jectiles from the main battery only
would amount to sixty tons, or $780,
600 worth. The fuses for these pro-
jectiles cost from 81 to $1S each. The
number used would approximate 100,
and probably more. That would
mean 81, 1,5OO more of money burned.
The projectiles however, are the most
expensive part of the whole fusillade
They could make hole in the $780,

Founders, twelve shots from the foul

jectiles and burn $500 worth Of pow
