TILTED.
G. W, Britt Raleigh Man is Tilted and Bun
coed at the Same Time

The Durham papers few days ago con-
tanned an account of how g. W. Britt a
Raleigh man, went to Durham with the
full intention of taking unto himself "a
wife in the person of Mrs. c. ~ Parker.
and how when the hour came when the
fateful and momentous words making
them man and wife were to be pro-
nCunced, the bride elect failed to show
up. and also the 500 which Mr.. Britt had
bestowed upon the fair charmer, 800 in
the coin of the realm, for expenses pre-
paratory TO the wedding, which also dis
appeared with the intended bride.
The sequel of the affair is that Mrs.
Parker had welded one Mack Vickers, a
Chicago cigar maker. Soon after the
time for the marriage in which Britt had
supposed he was to figure as one of the
principals. Mr.. Vickers tore himself from
the romantic task of making "Two-fers'
long enough so that he himself, accom-
panied by Mrs. Parker, went to Danville
and there the two were married
This incident is of interest to the Raj
eigh people on account of the fact that
both Mr.. Britt and Mrs. Parker are we'll
known here. Mr.. Britt was possessed or
some means at one time, having made
lucky draw in a lottery. Mrs. Parker ror
many years kept "a boarding house in Raj
eigh and Mr.. Britt was her one bright
particular star boarder On Mrs. PARKER
account, it is said, his wife ten years
ago obtained a divorce from bed ana
board, and about two years ago she was
allowed q complete divorce, with alimony.
WhereupCn Mr.. Britts mind, like a
younger mans fancy, seems to have light
ly turned to thoughts of matrimony. A
year or more ago this pretty pair moved
to Durham Mr.. Britt came back to Raj
eigh recently to reside, but his visits to
Durham were frequent. This time he
comes back poorer if not wiser man

Oak Ridge VS.. Horner.

Dr.. Winston speaking of professional
ism in college athletics, says
Homer school has started out this
y.~r v. h the avowed purpose of rebuking
professionalism" in inter- collegiate base
ball playing, by openly announcing the
fact that the Horner team had profess
SIGNALS on it, and then defeating the
teams which were supposed to contain
local players. The Oak Ridge team OBJ
jects to allowing Horner to have mon
opoly on the rebuking business, so for
the Oak Ridge Horner game they engaged
the battery of the Boston team, which
is practicing in this State. The result of
the Oak Ridge HCrner game is known"

Who WILL Be NAMED2.
VIII Linney or Cy Thompson
Lead Black Tans !?
Warren Vines Hall viii Come to the Republican
Convention With His +" Yaller " Vest
and "Yaer" Shoes.

The Republican State convention is
but little more than two weeks off,
but there is very little talk as TO who
will be given the empty honors ut the
convention. Since it looks as though
Spencer Blackburn will defeat Linney
for the nomination for Congress IN
the Eighth District the Revenue
ring is trying to boom the "Bull OF
the Brushes for Governor. Then
there are a few of ''de gang that
think Cy Thompson would be
stronger man than Linney. These
are about the only names you hear
mentioned in connection with the
nomination for Governor. If the first
place is conceded to the Populsts and
Dr. Thompson is named then Charles
A. REYNOLDS will be re-nominated. but
if Linney is nominated for Governor
then DR.. Daniel \. Long, of Alamance
county, will more than likely be nom
mated for Lieutenant Governor. but
if it should be deemed advisable to
nominate Il POpulist as Linney's run
ming mate then DIR. Long will come
in for Superintendent of Public IN
struction. Father Worth Will be re-
nominated for Treasurer: Hal Aver
for Auditor: Zeb Vance Walser, for
Attorney General and Thompson for
Secretary of State ii he is not nomin-
ated for Governor. i. 4. Mitchell,
secretary of the Republican head
quarters, will probably be nominated
for Commissioner Of Labor and Print
ing; Senator Franks, of the election
board is about the only candidate for
Corporation Commissioner and there
seems to be no candidate for Commits
sioner of Agriculture.
DR.. Warren Vines Hall, 1.-The rosy
checked" statesman who happens to
be president of the North Carolina
Republican League. has called that
Organization TO meet in Raleigh on
the third day of May: that being the
day after the State convention, the
Doctor thinks he can muster up a
larger crowd to hear his annual adj
dress" We learn that the Doctor will
be attircd in his black Prince Albert,
yellow vest. white duck trousers, a
red tie. tan shoes and a golf cap.
We understand that Doctor Hall is
much opposed to the adoption of the
constitutional Amendment, and that
last December while in Washington
City. he wrote pn interview expressing
his views along that line, and sent the
same to the editor of the Washington
Post by a messenger boy about ten
o'clock in the evening. and so anxious
was the Doctor to see his name in the
paper that he did not 90 to bed until
after the paper came out the next
morning at four o'clock and the Doc
tor seeing his interview of about eight
lines purchased 80 copies of the paper
and mailed to his friends. The Doctor
is also 'aide-de-camp" on the staff OF
General .Jeems Young in the BLACK
and Tan Army.

Only one resoluton-rwith the exception

one was by delegate named Hester, and
was as follows:

The Hon. S. Ohio Wilson favored TINS
while the Hon. j. NJ. Ferrall and the Rev.
Baylus Cade attacked it vigorously.
Dr. Cade inquired why should Wake
county want to get a great crowd in the
convention to claque and YELL when the
other counties were deprived of this vocal
privilege?

to business, cOAtless but appearing in
negligee shirts. The men leave off sus-
penders, wear le ather belts and negligee
shirts that are like the women's shirt
waists, complete without any coat.
Report says that the number of shirt
waist wearing men has increased from
eighty to thousand or so and New
York and Richmond papers are talk
ing of the men of these ci,ies
starting the fad there. The funny
thing about it ell is that women have
been joked 80 numerically because
they adopted or confiscsted collars,
cravats, ties and plain sailor hats,
and now the men are borrowing ideas
in clothes from women. Also It's ridi-
culous side is that women's clothes
have . repute among men for being
illogicsl, uncomfortable and inconve
niens as compared to the clothes of
men, but the shirt waist is triumphant.
