nizing the ability and usefulness of our

Wilson. N. c., June 25.-A great Dem
ocratic convention was held here today
the court house being crowded. Enthu-
siastic speeches were made by Fred A..
and John E. Woodland. Judge Conner
was unanimously and enthusiastically
endorsed for Associate Justice and the
following resolution adopted.
Resolved, That we present to the ap-
preaching State convention for nomina-
ton as associate Justice of the Supreme
court of North Carolina the name of our
distinguished countryman, Hon. H. G..
Connor, and that we use every proper
effort to secure his nomination. With
out disparaging other gentlemen, whose
names may be presented to the State
Convention, we feel that we hazard
nothing in saving that Judge Common,
by reason of his high Christian charac-
ter and the universal esteem in which
he is held, his long and successful prac-
tice at the bar, together with his ten
years Of experience as judge of the
Superior court, is easily the peer of
any and the inferior of none. We declare
that few men of North Carolina have
been Of more service to the State than
Judge Common We know him to be a
lawyer of great ability, q man of un-
questioned rectitude and in every way
worthy of the support and confidence of
the people, and we do unanimously en-
dorse him and urge his nomination.
Instructions were given to vote for
Joyner for State Superintendent of Edu-
cation; Kitchin for Congress; Charles
c. Daniels for solicitor and a strong
delegation was appointed to use every
effort to secure his nomination.
John E. Woodland, present State Sena-
tor, was endorsed for reelection. The
sentiment here for Judge Conner is one
of devoted loyalty and the county is
confident that he will be nominated.

dorses the administration OF President
Roosevelt and pledges him support, in
the continuance of our national prosper
ity and the maintenance at home and
abroad of the nations honor
Should he be the Republican standard
bearer in 1904 the platform continues,
we pledge an increased Republican
vote from the State of Arkansas

WOMEN AS POULTRY RAIsERs.-
women and hens have some traits in
common, and from a close observa-
ton OF the feathered fowl an aphoris-
TIC lore has sprung up which the un-
kind man uses with an omen hand
when talking to his women folks. How
often short-tempered spouse tells his
wife that sho looks like a wet hen.
that she cackles like a hon. that sbe
jumps about like a hen without Eer
brood. These are but IL few of the
charges flung at the head of the long
suffering wife. Whistling girls and
Growing hens have been classed to-
gether, and whore is the irrevorent
man who docs pot call gathering of
women "hen party?"
Perhaps because they have some
strange sympathetic bonds, or maybe
Tor some occult reason, too deep for
man to fathom, women are and always
have been extremely successful in the
poultry business. In many households
in the suburbs Of most large American
cities the woman of the house supplies
her own table with the fruits of her
poultry yard. In not few cases good
profit is made by selling the surplus
product to neighbors.
SSs3,It is one of the healtbiest fads or oc-
cupations that woman can take up.
The work entailed is very light; it is
clean and it is full of delightful va
riety that should charm the true fem
inine heart. Moreover, it 10 a very IN
expensive fad to start. A few dollars
spent on erecting coop and wire
fence in which to keep the fowls is all
the equipment needed. Then, with
few hens and a rooster and setting
of eggs, the poultry yard is ready to
start work.-Philadelphia Inquirer.
