The State Convention.

To the Editor: There is no telling
what will take place in the State Con-
| vention at Greensboro on July 18th.
Under the general plan of it's organiza
ton all kinds of Democrats-regular and
| irregular, the old guard and the boiling,
the appointed delegate and the free pass
delegate-will have equal voices under
the provision that "all Democrats who
may attend are to be regarded as dele
gates" The purpose of the free pass
delegate will be to overthrow 1.-THE eX-
pressed will of the people as it. already
has been determined by a certain ele-
ment that they will either dictate the
| actions of that body or bring about con-
fusion, disorder, ruin
1t is necessary that the people at
| large be ready for any contingency that
may arise, and in the very great con-
Germ we have as to the outcome of the
| fight for Chief Justice, we seem to lose
| sight of an equally important matter
the manner of naming our United States
Senator. In the name of the people |
ask that the convention give us a prim-
| airy in order that the people may name
the man.
| The people are the sovereign in this
| country and to none other does kingly
power belong. In matters which vitality
concern the people their wishes should
| be expressed and then be carried into
| effect. l believe in the doctrine of the
referendum" and our party is COM
mitted to this doctrine, both by declara-
| tion and precedent.
! For the sake of the perbetuity of the
Democratic party we cannot depart from
| this doctrine. and | therefore ask the
State Convention to give us a primary
| throughout the State. at which primary
the people can say whom they will have
the Legislature to elect as United States
| Senator.
| We must have a primary for this pur-
| pose. and to this end l shall use my ut
most endeavor. Will all, who agree
with me join in with me in such a de-
| mand? Let every man in North Caro-
| lima (from the mountains to the sea-
who is in favor of such primary speak
| out. and there will be produced such a
loud acclaim that our representatives
will know we are in dead earnest. and
| will then grant the request.
Respectfully,
ROBERT A. FOARD.

Charles Francis Adams is right in
saying that this government ought to
put UP an equestrian statue of Lee in

before there is enough breadth to do So.
But the fact that Lees home is the

monument in perpetuating the fame of

 NEW YORK, April 5.-R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Labor controversies continue to be the only seriously disturbing events in the industrial world, and, while many disagreements have been promptly set tied, others have appeared to interrupt production and make manufacturers conservative about new undertakings. Retail distribution of spring wearing apparel received cheek from the more indictment weather in many local ities, yet merchandise of most staple lines is purchased freely, and collec- tions are satisfactory at nearly all points except the south.
 Supplies of iron and steel do not seem in any immediate danger of overriding demand. In fact, the prospect of labor disturbance CD May makes the situa- ltion still more uncertain.

NORTON ON THE STAND TO-DAY:
Flatly Contradicted the Evidence of
 Attorney Durant.

The case of Lounsbury- Norton was res,sIned this morning after bar meet ing. It was rather startling in that the evidence could not be more contra dictory Mir Norton, the defendant. was on the stand the greater part Of the forenoon. His account books were introduced. They bore records writ ten in the handwriting, of his brother, F. B., flatly contradicting MT Durant's evidence regarding the settlement of the bond. One record ran thus: "Ey settlement on Frank Lounsbury's bond, hacks S15.25.' Files from the city court. civil side. showed that the case had been withdrawn from that court by Lounsbury's first counsel Attorney hendrick. It was soon after, however, revived in another form, suit for board by Emma Lounsbury. Mir Nor ton testified that he had never seen Emma Lounsbury up to that time and never had any transactions with her. He denied that Mir Durant ever trans acted any law business for him. and said that the cause of trouble between himself and Mir Durant was his intro duction of his account books at the first hearing of this case showing how the bond had been settled. Mir Nor- ton stated that he naid the money to MT Durant, not to Clerk McAIahon. as MT Durant testified yesterday. Testi- mony regarding Lounsbury's financial standing at the time of his arrest was then given. This was hearsav evidence and Judge Lowe objected. Before At- torney Russell had time to ask another question Judge Lowe stood up and said that he might as well drop the ease it this point. as he had repeatedly ob- Jected to the evidepce and the court gave him no attention. and consenuent- ly lot of irrelevant evidence came he fore the jury. Jndoe Cowell seemed to have been hurt by this remark. He straiehtened up in his chair and bnnd- ing forward to Judpe Lowe said that every time an objection had been made in the proper manner proper attention was paid to it. but when a counsel does not think it worth his while to arise when he addresses the court no atten- tion is paid to him. The evidence re. lating to plaintiffs financial standing was then ruled out.
