ONE TEXAN HITS ANOTHER.
Fist fight Follows the Meeting OF the
Credentials Committee.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June 20.-The
committee on credentials, after an all-night
session. adjourned at 8 a. m, having COM
pleted all its business. A lively fst-ight
between two Texas delegates occurred at
tenec to arguments from contesting dele
gates in that State.
/. AS the delegates were leaving the com
mittee room W.. III. Love. a delegate from
Mckinney. Tex. accused Walter Burns OF
having made statements in the commit
tee room which were not true. Burns de-
MED hat he had made such statements.
and Love called him a liar. Burns prompt
~ planted his fist in Loves face with a
violence that would have laid Love on the
floor had not some bystanders caught him.
Burns. after striking the blow. stood quiet
ly watching Love, who was making des-
perate efforts to break away from the
men who were holding him. Love had a
knife partially drawn from his pocket.
I'm through" said Burns. unless he
starts 1t again."
Love was finally hustled down the stairs
and taken away by his friends.
Immediately after this row two colored
ottcSdteS began TO make violent threats
and warlike demonstrations at each other.
This trouble also involved a question OF
veracity. They were dragged apart with
difficulty. rs
In the Tennessee contest the own
people won a clean victory over the Evan
faction. the committee confirming their
claim TO seats in the convention.
The Texas delegation presented eleven
contests-two among the delegates at large
and nine I'm the first nine districts. The con
testants were followers of Il. III. r. Greer
and opposed the delegation already seated
headed by Congressman Il. b Hawley, oi
Galveston. The issue was disastrous tc
the Green people. who not only lost al
their contests. but had one man suppiantec
by q Hawley follower in the Fourth dis
frict. Two Hawley delegates were given
the seats from the Sixth district. no dele
gates from there previously having beer
admitted to the convention.
In the Second Virginia district the con
tests brought by Harry Libbey and Alvaf
Martin against George f. Bowden and w
s. Holland proved a failure. the claims
OF the Bowden delegates being confirmed
by the committee.
The contests i'm the District of Columbia
was terminated by a decision In favor o.
John F. Jones and W. G. Chase. the pres
emf delegates.
The Ad6icks faction of Delaware, which
was officially recoe nized last night by Tho
IN on credentials. was I'm great gle,
to-day. The recognized delegation organ
lied this afternoon and also elected j
Edward Addicks as the national commit
teeman from Blue Hen State.

One OF the most delightful meetings
the Ladies' Reading Club has held was
the one Thursday afternoon at the home
of Mr.. DR.. F. NJ. Smith. The hall and
parlor were appropriately DECORATED in
red, white and blue, and the hostess,
with powdered bair and large white
kerchief was a fair representation Of
Lady Washington. Other ladies were
sttired similarly making pretty picture
in the subdued glow Of The lamps shaded
with the national colors.
Many interesting items and bits of in
formation regarding the life and habits
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Washington were relat-
ed and, as one would naturally expect at
woman's meeting, all the credit Of
Wsshington's success was given to his
mother and wife.
The club will meet tomorrow after
noon at the home OF Mrs. A. r. Fisher.

ONE OF THE
OLD SCHOOL.
Is Uncle Ennis Norman Who is
Practical Farmer and
Republican.
KNOWS AND LOVES HIS WORK.

In this age OF discomfort with the ex-
isting order OF things and Of seeking for
the causes thereof, it is refreshing to
meet character who is satisfied with
himself and the world as he has found it.
Such man is Uncle Ennis Norman,
who is an honest and greatly respected
colored man who lives on Mr.. Wick
Moorman's farm between here and the
Tar Springs He has worked for the
Deanes and Moormans at Glendeane
most of his life, and belongs to the now
almost extinct generation OF darkeys
who believe that their "old marsters"
can do no wrong.
Uncle Ennis is practical farmer and
when asked at the News office to sub
scribe for farm paper in connection
with the News he Indignantly refused,
saying tn, t he did not believe in "book"
farming. He is fifty-two years old and
has been working in the ground since a
little boy, and says he knows some good
rules, which il followed carefully and
theoretically will bring more success
than any books and papers They are !:
Study your own land; cultivate as much
as possible before planting; never hill,
but use smooth surface in all planting;
cultivate deep in dry weather and shall
low In wet weather and leave the result
IN the Old MarafaY ahnve
He is a Republican, he says, because
he has right to be. He has no objec-
tions to the Democratic party for those
who can see their way clear to it, but he
can not. He feels that as Lincoln was
his emancipation, It's but just that his
humble vote should be cast to uphold
his party. He has no right to vote the
Democratic ticket but he does not blame
ode white folks" for doing 80.
Uncle Ennis loves his work aud loves
nature. He can make living on lime
stone rock, he says, if you will give him
some tools. II any other man can make
dollar on one side OF a fence, he feels
confident that he can make fifty cents
on the other. And then his confidence
In the knowledge and care of his Old
Marster above is worthy OF emulation.
He never fears for the future as long az
he has his health, some ground to work
and his Old Marster to make the rain
and the sun.
