TO STAY AWAY
Martin Men Will Not At
tend the Convention.
No Friend of the Senator $
-AWas Invited to Attend the
Conference-Their Position
Plainly Stated.

The May convention is going to
be big affair. There is no ques.
tion about the fact that the atten
dance will be very, large and that
nearly every county and city in the
State will be represented. With
few exceptions, the newspapers en-
dorse the movement.
There has come in the last fow
days change of feeling among some
OF Mr.. Martins friends regarding
the convention. Many of his sup.
porters are very earnest {. dvocateS
OF change in the method of choos.
ing Senators and they intended to
come to this meeting. Now, they
are inclined to stay away.
The reason for it can be best told
in the language Ola worry warm sup
porter of Mr.. Marsin. He said to a
to Times reporter:
81, for one, favor this movement
and made up my mind to attend the
convention and advised some friends
10 follow my example. But, 1 have
since learned that there was con
terence in Washington to discuss
this movement. Not supporter of
the Senators was asked to be pres
ent. All invited were his avowed
opponents Now, it seems to me
that if this fight were one for meas.
ures and not for men it could haye
been easily settled. The leading
Martin men who favor the change of
method-somo one like G., orge B.
Keezell for instance and men known
to be opposed to Martin might have
conferred and fixed up plan. But
the Martin people were ignored. The
signers of the call, with possibly two
OR three exceptions, are anti Martin
men: l have, therefore, decided to
stay away, because it is movement
that is manifestiy intended to injure
the Junior Senator. do not object
to another candidate, but don't like

The Baptist Parsonage Raidod.

The Baptist Parsonage Raided.
Last Monday evening, some time
between z and 0 O'clock, the Bap-
tist parsonage was raided by a
number of wellarmed people-not
with any evil intent, however, for
each one carried one or more pack
ages not calculated to injure the
peaceful and law abiding occupants
1t was found upon an examination
that said packages contained eata
bles and wearables of almost
every conceivable kind-from a
pound of sugar to barrel of -four,
with hams thrown in for good
measure. The Baptist people and
many of their friends of other
churches, and of no church, were
present. There was also music
and other social enjoyments, and
all felt happy-so did Mr.. and Mrs.
Waytes-at this act Of appreciation
on the part of the good people
among whom they have recently
cast their lots.

When 1 saw you on the 9th of

that would write you and tell you
something of my trip to North Da.
kota.
When we left Tazewell on the
evening of the 9th of Msrch, we
connected with the emigrant car at
Bluefield, bound for North Dakota
In this car we found fifty.two pas.
sengers: besides number of child.
rem, who required no tic cts. A
number o. these passengers came
from Bluefe!d and vicinity. Among
the passengers were Captain Alder
son, of Coeburn, Va He had his
wife and son with him. He had
shipped most all of his perso nal
property by freight. Among the
passengers from Bluefeld were
Captain Cooper, j. w. Bailey, and
his wife and children, and number
of Tazewell boys. Mrs. H. l.. Hof
awger, of Cando, N. D., but formerly
of Virginia, who had been back to
her old home, on a visit. There
we're also a number from Scott
county and other portions of the
State,
We were detained thirty.six hours
six miles east of Kcnova. and did
not reach Rugby, N. D., until April
the lst, 2 p. NJ. Our Accommodations
on thelexcursion train was first class,
the EAR was a sleeper and verything
was arranged to make the passen-
gers comfortable. Mr.. Geo. L. Will
liams. the Great Northern Emigrant
Agent accompanied us the entire
trip, and tho car yet stands upon tho
side track at Rugby, for the accomo-
dation of the passengers until they
can secure homes elsewhere.
Rugby is the county seat of Pierce
county, town of $50 inhabitants.
The people are very kind to u.s. They
opened the court house to the emi-
grants as the hotels and boarding
houses were oil full.
On arriving in North Dakota,
found several parties from Tazewell,
among wohm was j. FL. Glare, form
erly of Pocahontas. 1 was out at his
farm which is four miles from the
county seat. He has 4SO acres of
beautiful land, has three hundred
acres ready to SOW in wheat, and
will commence to seed in few days.
From what 1 can see 80 far, 1 think
this is a great country. It is settling
up very fast. and the government
land that is subject to homestead
entry and near the railroad will soon
all be taken up The weather has
been fine since we arrived here. 1t
is bright sunshiny days, but it is
still little cold, not cold enough for
one to mind it. The roads are the
best I ever saw in my life, every
thing shows prosperity and thrift.
1 hope that you will not become
wearied with my very long letter,
and L hope that you will not forget
to send me q copy of your paper
which will be a more welcome visitor
than ever before.
Yours Truly,
