THE VOTE IN VIRGINIA
Larger Majority Than Expected
For the Constitutional Con-
YentiOn

Richmond, Va, May 25.-The
vote in Virginia yesterday on
the constitutional convention
question was full of surprises. In
the first place, it was carried by
a larger majority than was ex-
pected, and in the next place
some of the largest majorities
against the measure was in coun-
ties where the white vote largely
predominates. The heaviest op-
position was in the Ninth district
comprising the southwest coun-
ties. Where the negroes took
part at all they voted against the
measure.
The cities and towns gave a
good vote in favor of the con-
vention and largely overcame
the opposition in the rural dis
tricts. The majority of the con-
vention will probably reach 49,
900.
In view of the handsome vic
tory the Question of calling a
special session of the legislature
to put the measure into effect is
under discussion. There is gen.
eral opposition to taking any ac-
ton in the matter until after the
Presidential election, but it is
likely that a special session of
the legislature will be called
shortly after that, date, probably
in December, the regular time
of the nesting of the legislature
at it's biennial session.
The Republicans of Jackson
ward, the only ward in the city
where the Republicans made a
fight, are claiming this morning
that they were defeated by fraud
and that they actually carried
their ticket by 200 votes. Rich-
mond's majority in favor of the
convention was 4,259 out of a
total vote of $3.50.

Ora Ory at Kansas Cily.
Washington Times.

Washington Times.
There seems to be even live>
lier contest among Democratic
orators for the honor of pre-
senting Mr.. Bryan's name to the
Kansas City convention than
among the Republican orators
for the honor of presenting Mr..
McKinley's name atPhiladelphia.
OF course, the choice of eulogists
in both cases will be left to the
men who are to be eulogized. At
last accounts Senator Spooner
had been selected to present
Mr.. McKinley's name at Phila~
delphia, though before the cou-
vention meets this part Of the
programme again may be chang
ed. The orator most frequently
mentioned as Mr.. Bryan's prin-
ciple eulogist at Kansas City is
the Hon, William Joel Stone of
Missouri, The relations between
Bryan and Stone are known to
be very close, all reports to
the contrary Notwithstanding
The Missourlan is very cordially
disliked by many of the party
leaders in his state, this antipa-
thy being due mainly to jealousy
Of Stones rapid rise. Some of
the Missouri members of con
gress are now conspiring with
Stones rivals for the honor in
dicate1, and it is said that Mr..
Bryan would be amused by their
conduct if ther were not so an
noying in their persistent
"knocking" of Stone. AS an ora
tor Stone has few equals and no
super1ors II the country. He is
not as fluent or as polished as
Dapew Or Bourke Cochran, but
in the elements of earnestness
and intensity he is the superior
of either Of these famous spell,
binders. His admirers predict a
very notable effort if be is per-
mitted to make the principai nom
mating speech at Kansas City.

A MILL BOSS MURDERED.
j. l.. Odell Stabbed by HOpe Da-
Wis, a Discharged Operative.

Wis, a Discharged Operative.
Charlotte, N. c., May 25.-News
reached here this afternoon of the
killing of J. L. Odell at Bessemer
City, n. c., to-day.
Odell is boss of the weave room
of the Southern Cotton Mills Last
Wednesday an operative. Hope
Davis, was discharged This after
noon Davis returned to the mill and
was ordered out by Odell. Davis re-
returned the second time. and was
again ordered out. Words followed,
Davis cursing Odell, who made a
pass at Davis. Dayis drew a knife,
stabbing Odell in the neck, and then
ran to the woods IN an effort to es-
cape. Odell started to a drug store,
but fell before he had gone many
steps, death resulting from the
wound. Sheriff Love, of Gastonia,
has gone to the scene of the murder
with blood honnds. Great excite
ment exists, and there is much talk
of lynching Davis if he is caught.
Odell is a nephew of J. M. Odell,
of Concord, and is well connected,
his wife and four children living in
Salisbury. One son was with the
father at Bessemer City. Odell was
about thirty eight years old. Davis
is son of Rev. e. Davis and is only
twenty one years of age. AT last
accounts Davis was still at large.

THE ADJOURNMEN I OF CON
GRESS.

It is now expected that Con-
gress will adjourn upon June 6,
after the date of adjournment
has been fixed, by joint resolu-
tion. it is always possible to ex-
tend the session if necessary,
but there is no reason now
apparent why Congress may
not dispose Of all the remaining
business Of the session within
two weeks. The members are al,
naturally desirous to get away,
either to their own business Or
to the political business of the
summer, and there never is any
public objection to an early ad-
journment.
It has not been a particularly
eventful session and many things
that might have been done, or
that we're expected to be done,
must go over for the present.
This is not generally cause of
regret. The legislation actually
necessary to keep the various de-
partments of government in ac-
tive operation has been or will
be supplied, and beyond that too
little is usually to be preferred to
too much.

METHODIST TIME LIMIT.

In the Methodist chur ch, North,
minister could heretofore stay
with congregation five years; in
the Meth odist church, South, he
can still stay, if the congregation
be SO minded, four years. Nomi-
nally the power of placing minise
ters is lodged in bishop; but in
reality the particular congrega-
tion selects it's minister, and the
presiding elder and bishop pro-
ceed to 80. K'' the selection.
The Northern Methodists have
uow taken off the time limit alto
gether, SO that if congregation
SO desires it can keep a minister
who is not of migratory nature
all the rest of his life, provided
of course, the bishop who pre-
sides over the particular eonfers
ence does not exercise autocratic
power. 1t may be that the bish-
ops of the church Mort will club
together and adopt policy that
will modify to some extent the ab-
olition of the time limit. They will
say, perhaps, that a popular and
successful preacher shall still
move occasionally; but any anto.
cratic action on the part of a
bishop would certainly be re-
sented by congregation that was
much attached to a minister.
The departure Of the church
North is almost revolutionary.
Wesley desired change in pas
torate every year, and Wesley's
idea was adopted bv the early
Methodists in this country. The
term was, however, gradually
leniShened to five years, and now
it may be fifty years. Under the
new rule the country churches
of the Northern Methodists may
a as we'll bid good>bye to the best
preachers, for they will soon be
permanently domiciled in the
cities. This is, however, the case at
present, for by the system Of
transfers from one conference TO
another q brilliant preacher is
never without wealthy, if not
| fashionable, city charge. The
mixing mp of preachers that
Wesley desired has long been
dead. I 4 the evolution of M4tho-
dism from its primitive stage

der, and no bishop dare inter-
fere to make itinaracy what Wes-
ley desired to be.

An All-Night Session, But Spirit
ed and Harmonious Through
out the Session.
The Largest Convention in the
History of the District.


The Democrat convention of
the Second Congressional district,
composed Of the counties of BERTHE,
Edgecombe, Greene, Halifax,
Lenoir, Northampton, Warren,
Wayne and Wilson, as previously
announced, convened in the Mes
senger Opera House in this city
yesterday afternoon at 4 O'Clock,
and was called to order by the
chairman of the District Execu,
tive Committee, Mr.. W. A. Dunn,
of Scotland Neck, who in stating
the purpose of the convention
took occasion to speak at length
and forcibly on the great issue of
the impending State campaign
the constitutional amendment, and
his remarks were from time to
time roundiy applauded. He then,
in generous words of merlted
praise, presented to the conven-
tion its temporary chairman, our
popular and eloquent towDsman
Mr.. W. t. Dortch, who was
greeted with prolonged applause,
and who on taking the chair made
one of his characteristic thrilling
speeches, which SO captlvated the
great body of enthusiastic Demo-
Gratis composing the convention
that at its conclusion he was, on
motion, unanimously elected per-
man9nt chairman, and throughout
the long and tedious deliberations
of tie convention he made a most
efficient presiding officer.
The committee on credentials
reported no contests and deter
mined the vote of each county,
giving an aggregate of 291 votes
to the district.
The committee on platform and
resolutions, through it's chairman,
the gallant Capt. Swift Galloway,
Of Greene county, reported as fol :
onI 4ho

ton of the Second Congressional
