Politics are warming up in the
Fifth judicla district and one OF
the hottest fights of the campaign
will be made over the nomination
for district Judge, and the fight
will be watched with much inter.
est all over the district. Judge
Glaspell, who by-the-way, has
made IL record satisfactory to the
Courier as we'll as the people Of
Griggs and other counties. out
side of Stutsman. wants a re.
nomination. but his record on the
bench does not seem to please
many people in his own county
of Stutsman and as a conse
quence bitter fight is being
waged against his denomination.
His firing from office the board
of county commissioners for il
legally paying bills against the
county, ETC., has made him many
enemies. Taking these condi-
tions into consideration the at
torneys of the district have come
to the conclusion that the field is
open to them for an effort to get
the nomination, and several have
already entered the field as can
didates. Several of the papers
of the district have brought out
the name of our own towns man,
David Bartlett. who has received
some very tlattering offers of
support as we'll as words of
recommendation from the press
all over the state as we'll us in
the district. The Courier is first
for Mr.. Bartlett because he is an
old and honored citizen of Coop
erstown and this in itself should
secure him not only the Courier's
support but also of the people
generally. In the next place he
is a good attorney and is in every
way fitted for the office. He is a
gentleman of unquestioned in-
tegrity and ability, could neither
be bulldozed or bought, and
would honestly and fearlessly
administer the duties of the Of
fee according to law. The pro
hibitory law would be equally
sustained along with other laws
on the statute books. We
consider that he would be an
honor to the judiciary if elected.
We had not intended to bring
Mr.. Bartlett out as q candidate.
neither has he authorized US to
do so, but inasmuch as many
papers all over the district are
bringing his candidacy into
prominence we feel as if it is but
right that the Courier should de.
fine its position. So much in re.
gard to Mr.. Bartlett. We now
want to say that Judge Glaspel]
has been entirely satisfactory to
us ana if our own candidate can t
secure the nomination we want
to see the present incumbent re-
tanned. Figuring on the basis OF
the opportionment made for the
state convention the counties in
the fifth judicial district have 108
delegates. If the same appor.

Major Frank White, of Valley
City, is said to be a candidate for
governor. If the major gets the
nomination he will run faster
than q prairie fire. He has a
legion Of warm friends all over
North Dakota and in addition
would make very capable gov
ernOr.

Resolutions Adopted by the
Park Congregational
Church Feb. Is.

Whereas our pastor, Rev. E. S.
Shaw, being about to leave us, it is
deemed fitting that we as a church
express our appreciation for his labor
of love in our behalf.
Resolved, That we show our graft
tude for the organization of the
church and the other Christian ac-
tivities connected with it by striving
to make permanent these beginnings,
in generously supporting the ministry
by our purse, by our prayers and by
our regular attendance on the public
meetings for the worship of Almighty
God, for the teaching of the word
and for prayer.
Resolved, That we earnestly desire
and pray to the God OF Heaven that
the BLESSINGS of the gospel OF our
Lord and Savior Jesus Chist may de-
scend more and more to us, to our
children from generation to genera
ton; that strong church may be
built up in our midst on this found
alton laid by the missionary zeal of
Pastor Shaw, church strong in loye
to God, strong in love to one-another
and burning with a desire for the
saving Of souls.
Resolved, That when he shall go
out into other fields already "white
for the harvest" the prayers of this
church may follow him for the
Masters continued blessings on his
labors, on his faithful wife, on his
children, and on his own spiritual
life.
Resolved, That these resolutions
be made part of the records of this
church and a copy be given to the
press for publication.

The democratic

The democratic national
convention will be held al
Kansas City and July the Fourth
is the date fixed. Mr.. Bryan
personally is largely responsible
for the convention going TO that
placer. Mr.. Bryan has also told
the democratic leaders that he
would like Judge Caldwell, OF
Arkansas, on the ticket as his
running mate. Col. Bryan seems
to be the whole thing in demo.
cratic gatherings these days.

TRAIN WRECK NEAR AsHEv1LLE.

The Vestibule Slides off a FiIl-0nly a Small
Hill in the Hollow Prevented Another
BOstian Bridge Disaster.
AsHEvILLE, N. G. June 15-The
north bound vestibule on the South
ern railway which LETT here at 5 10
this morning, was wrecked four
miles east of here. The train con-
sisted of eight coaches and two
engines. Both engines left the track,
rolled down an embankment, taking
two coaches with them. The en-
gines were completely wrecked.
The colored fireman was fatally
hurt and the baggagemaster and one
engineer badly bruised. The Ten
nessee Editorial Association was on
board, but none of the editors was
injured beyond a severe shaking up.
A visit to the wreck shows a a
row escape from a greater disaster
than the Statesville or Bostian's
bridge wreck. A small hillock arose
from the cavity below the fill, the
engine struck this and the cOmbina-
ton baggage and express a leaping
over the car, struck on the hill and
the baggage and mail, resting in turn
against each other, held the passen-
e cars on the track. But for the
hiIlock all would have gone. An ex-
animation of the track shows splin-
tiers of steel from the rails, caused
by a wheel slipping inside, spreading
the track.

Charlotte Observer: We r glad
to see that the Democratic executive
committee of Cleveland county has
adopted resolutions condemning the
egging of Mr.. H. F. Seawell, the
PopUlist candidate for Attorney
General, after his speech at Shelby
on the I'd inst. It will not do for
the Democratic party to countenance,
even by silence, such campaign
methods as this. They are wholly
wrong of themselves, and apart from
this it is to be said, viewing the mat
ter wholly as n of policy, that
eggs have never yet carried an
election.
State Senator John Quincy Jack
son, of Lenoir county, died in Raj
eigh very suddenly early Thursday
morning. He was at the Senate until
midnight and then went to his board
ing house. About 4 o'clock he left
his and went out on a porch
and sat in a chair. A little before 6
he was found there, dead. He was
sitting upright, as if asleep, one
hand over a railing, the other in his
lap, holding a handkerchief, and his
legs were crossed. He was about 70
years old, a native Of Lenoir county,
and a lawyer by profession, his office
being at Kinston. He leaves a wife.
He had considerable property. A
man of excellent character, he had
many friends. Lieutenant-G Governor
Reynolds said if the angel of death
had come Wednesday night and
asked who in the Senate was best
prepared for a sudden and immedi-
ate summons to the Maker, he would
have said Senator Jackson"

repistrars and pol[holders for

Craig. of Buncombe, made a red
lot reply to johnson, branding as ga
10 and a SANDER" the supposed state
mont of Mr.. Johnson hat the cleo
+ion law was 1.-The most infamous
low ever enacted in North Carolina"
Craig ~retracted upon being assured
that Johnson did not make or did
not intend to make such an assertion.
Mr.. Mcneil, of Brunswick, asked
if the new election law did not elimi-
nate feature requiring age to be
nroved by two witnesses. Mr.. Win
ston said yes. Mr.. Mcneil said this was
= good provision, and he thought
changes proposed would improve the
law, but he wanted to require judges
to deposit ballots in proper boxes.
Craig said the FusiOnists would have
a poll-holder in every precinct and
there was nothing to prevent his tell
ing his voters proper boxes. This
seemed to satisfy Mcneil.
The proposed election law was
then put upon its third reading.
Giles. of Chatham, asked for ayes
and noes. Craig, Ray, Holman, and
two others favored granting this but
we're OutvOted. The bill then passed.
The newly amended Constitutional
amendment as published elsewhere
was taken up in the afternoon. The
roll was called. Mr.. Mcneil, of
BuncOmbe, (Dem.,) asked leave to
explain his vote, saying that during
the last campaign he had said he
would not vote for any measure i'm
posing an educational or property
qualification, and hence he could not
vote for it, nor could any man with
a high sense of honor expect him to
dose. Reinhardt, of Lincoln, Dem.)
also voted no but did not explain.
The bill passed-yeas SO, nays 8.
Mr.. johnson said he wanted to be
excused from voting, as he had a
substitute to offer. He was excused.
The Speaker announced that the bill
had received more than the neces-
sary three-ffths vote. Mr.. Moore
at once called previous question. Mr..
Johnson did not get in his amend
ment. The roll was again called,
with the same result as before. Those
voting nay were: BurrOw, Ellen, Giles,
Mcneil, Reinhardt, Smith, Wrenn,
Wright, and Marlborough.
A number of unimportant bills
were then taken up.

The Agricultural Department Puts it Down
at $685. 900 Acres, an Increase Of $685.
600, or 81 Per Cent. Q
WASHINGTON, June 16.-Tbe sta
tistician of the Department Of Agri-
culture estimates The total area
planted in cotton at 25, 558. 600 acres.
an increase of 2,036, 600 acres, or 81
per cent. over the productive area Of
last year. He estimates the increase
at z per cent in South Carolina and
Alabama s per cent in Texas and
Georgia 8 per cent in Louisiana and
Tennessee 10 per cent in North Caro-
lima, Mississippi and Arkansas Is
per cent in Indian Territory IS per
cent in Oklahoma 25 per cent in
Virginia and 81 per cent in Missouri.
In all those States the increase is
more or less localized, being least
where the production of cotton is the
most dense and greatest in those re-
gions where cotton growing has
hitherto been less extensively en-
gagged in and where physical condi-
tions are not in all respects the most
favorable to it's production.
In general the increase has been
restricted by the scarcity of labor,
the high price of seed, the enlarged
area in fall-sown crops, and in GER
tain sections, by exceptionally un-
favorable weather conditions. Along
the northern border of the cotton
belt, land from which wheat has
been harvested is being hurriedly
planted in cotton, but the American
amount is relatively considerable and
allowance has been made for it in
the estimate.
The average condition of the grow
ing crop on June 1, was 1875 as COM
pared with 85.7 on June 1 of last
year, $40 at the corresponding date
in 1898, and 87.1 the mean of the
June averages of the last ten years.
A condition of 1926 is with one excep-
ton the lowest June condition in 20
years. The cOnitiOn in Texas is II,
this being the lowest June condition
in 26 years and Is points below the
1O-year average. South Carolina,
Alabama and Tennessee are 2 points,
and Mississippi and Florida 3 points
and 1 point respectively, below their
10-year averages. On the other
hand Louisiana reports 1 point,
North Carolina 2 points, and Georgia
and Arkansas 3 points above their
10-year averages.
A largely increased use of fertil-
izers is reported from the older
States and wherever the necessary
labor is available and planters are
not too much discouraged, unusual
are is being exercised in .cultiva-
ton.
All sections have been visited by
agents of the Department within the
last week, and results reported and
embodied in the present report. The
work will be continued throughout
the growing season and should any
modification of the acreage figures
be found noteworthy, report will be
promptly made to the public.

SENATE.

The election law in the form it
left the House passed by a strict
party vote. No amendment was
offered and it passed without debate.
Before the vote was put by the
Lieutenant-G Governor, Mr.. Glenn,
who was in charge of the bill, o
and said that all the time desired for
debate by the opponents of the bill
would be granted. Senator Franks
expected to speak against the bill,
but was out just at that time. The
bill passed in six minutes. When
Mr.. Franks came in, he rose to a
question of personal privilege and
said that in passing the election law,
he wanted to add that the Democrats
had forgotten to repeal Sections 2004.
55O7, 55O8, $500, $50 U. S. Statutes.
The newly amended Constitutional
Amendment was then taken up, hav-
ING come over from the House. Mr..
Crisp (Rep.), of Graham, proposed
as a substitute a Constitutional
amendment disqualifying negroes for
office. Mr.. Crisp said Il have al
ways believed that the State did
wrong in giving the negro the bal
lot. a all the more convinced
when I heard Isaac Smith speak in
the House to-day"
Fuller (col.) of Warren, said he
thought the Democratic Legislature
of so gave the negro the devil, and
in view of Grips amendment, he
thought the negro between the devil
and the deep blue sea. Il am a
Christian, - he said, land, therefore,
I can escape from the devil, but 1
have not learned to swim. I will
vote against the substitute offered
by the Senator from Graham"
The substitute was voted down by
d vivO vOce vote.
Senator Franks thought the
Amendment had been improved at
this session, but not enough to cause
him to favor it. The Constitutional
Amendment then passed, Al ayes, 3
noes The five noes were cast by
Messrs. Campbell, Crisp, Franks,
Fuller, Goodwin.
The following bills, having passed
both houses at this session, were
ratified:
To repeal chapter 125 of Private
Laws of 1895.
To print and distribute copies of
Election Law and Constitutional
Amendment.
To furnish Supreme Court Reports
to University Library.
