countie-was called 10 order yester-
day afternoon at Wallace by ex-Judge
W. r. Allen. Mr.. j. F. Moore was elect
ed man chairman and Mr.. II.
Owens secretary.
Mr.. B. F. Aycock was nominated by
reclamation to represent Wayne
county in the state senate and Joe I.
Foy, of Topsail Sound, 10 represent
Fender and Duplin counties. DR.. E.
Porter, OF Rocky Point, was endorsed
by the Fender county convention and
the delegates to the senatorial conven
ton were instructed to vote for him;
and, in fact, he could nave been NOM
mated on the first ballot, but inasmuch
as some opposition developed in the
convention DR.. Porter insisted on his
name being withdrawn in the interest
or harmony, a commendable and self
sacrificing act On his part.
Mr.. Foy is one of Pender's most
prominent and influential citizens and
he will certainly make ar excellent
representative for the district in the
senate of the general assembly.
The Messenger received the follow
ing special from Warsaw last night
concerning the Ninth district sena-
torial conventions:

ton for. the Ninth senatorial district

There was an informal and rather
conversational discussion of numerous
points connected with the campaign.
Mr.. Frank Stedman made a special
appeal to every club member present
to do personal work in the matter Of
urging the other democrats of the
ward to register at once so that some
definite idea Of the vote which New
Hanover county will cast for the
amendment can be formed. He said
that the people of the west are looking
to the people of the east who are to
be most benefited for a vigorous and
unanimous pull for the adoption Of the
amendment and an advance announce
ment of the big majority which Will
| mington and New Hanover county
will poll will have great weight in
| quickening enthusiasm in the west.
| Attention vas called to the fact that
| Mr.. ]. A. Hill, registrar for the ward
can be found every day at the old
| court house.
1t is a duty that cannot be urged too
strongly upon the white men Of Will
mington, not lose Of the Second
ward, but every other ward in the
city, that they should lose no time in
registering, as it Is a matter Of the
highest Importance that every n
should register and that right away.
All the registrars will be at their re-
spective posts all day Saturday, and
The Messenger would urge every white
mar (by white man is meant those
who intend to vote for the amend
menD to register on that day.
