COUNTIES MAY HOLD PRIMARIES

There is strong sentiment in favor
of Senatorial primary, but so many
Western Democrats said it would hurt
the party in their section that many de-
ferred to their wishes in the matter
Commenting on the matter, the Winston
Sentinel says:
THE proposition to select the candi-
date for United States Senator by a
State primary was defeated. We do not
believe that the convention voiced the
sentiment of majority of the party in
this action. We take it that the coun-
ties have the right to hold primaries
upon this question and we presume that
many will use this means of securing
an expression and instructing their rep
resentatives in the Legislature"
Of course any county can have pri-
mary, if it desires, and the members of
the Legislature can be instructed how
to vote in the Senatorial contest.

NO NOTICE WAS GIVEN.
Platform Committee Surpris-
ed When Report Came
How Claude Kitchin Tells of the Event Leading
up 10 The Sensation of the State
Democratic Convention.

Among the visitors who stopped over
in Raleigh, returning from the State
Democratic Convention, was Congress-
man Claude Kitchin, of Halifax.
On all sides he was con:plimonted en-
the magnificent speech he made in pre-
senting the name of Judge Walter Clark
to the convention. He was delighted
with the work of the convention, and ad
many pleasant things to say CONGO ming
the handsome treatment OF the delegates
by the people of Greensboro.
Talking with Mr.. Kitchin reference was
made to the debate and vote on the
contested plank re-affrming allegiance
to the Democratic National platform.
Mr.. Kitchin was a member of the Plat
form Committee and was fully informed
concerning the majority report as lie had
framed the plank on which the fight was
made.
Il notice in some papers said Mr..
Kitchin, "a statement which is apt to
create a wrong impression 1t is that the
minority made appeals in the committee
to do away with the plank which l sub
mitted and decided to force a fight on
the floor of the convention.
when the Platform Committee met,
he continued, there was a difference of
opinion concerning the plank on the Ma
tional platform, and finally | submitted
the utterance which was adopted and
which read We re-affrm our allegiance
to the Democratic party and its princi
PIES as enunciated in its National Plat
fern
''This seemed to be satisfactory to all,
and was accepted by the committee. Not
a man of what proved to be the ma
jority of the committee ever dreamed Of
a minority report being submitted, nor
was such thing even intimated in the
three meetings which the Platform Com
mittee held. 1t was a shock to us when
the minority report, signed by Messrs.
w. T. Crawford, II. A. London and n A.
Sinclair was read as it was the first in
timation the committee had that there
was 20 be a minority report on the plank
as adopted in the committee
Following the reading of the two re-
ports came the fight on the majority
report sand its final adoption 10y the
State Convention.

wANTED--A TWO DAYS SESSION

The State Democratic Convention made
no mistake in it's platform or in rs
nominees. The only mistake made was
one that has been made at nearly every
convention of late years, to-wit-hold-
ing an all night session. 1t not only
prevents calm and full discussion of i'm
portant matters and deters able men
from entering into debates. but provokes
q spirit of boisterousness that is to be
Geplored.
The convention at Greensboro, after an
order shortly after eight o'clock, and it
did not adjourn until about five o'clock
the next morning. During much of that
time, particularly after midnight, the
scenes of disorder were such that serious
discussion was almost out of the ques-
ton. Party leaders, who were entitled
hearing. and that upon the most inn
portant matters that came up for the con-
sideration of the convention. Other par
II leaders, lacking stentorian voices,
whose views ought to have been heard,
would not dare the raging storm of noise
that ebbed and flowed.
1t is bootless to criticize and ,denoLnce
the confusion and the bowling. No con-
vention in the world will tie ''lcrly in
an alI-nieht session. There is but one
remedy and that is to end the practice
of holding all-night sessions There is
always too much business of Importance
to be transacted at State Convention
to be crowded into one day al one
night Before the next State Conven-
ton is called, the executive committee
ought to call the convention for two
days, arrange a programme that would
give the first day and night to organi-
Zation, speech making, and the consid-
Grafton of the platform, and would post
pone all nominations until the second
day. This would give ample time for the
consideration of the platform and the
nomination of the ticket. It would not
wear men out or subject them to the
physical strain that makes them regard
less of the courtesy due a speaker in a
Democratic convention.

MAGNIFICENT REPORTS.

81 wish to congratulate the News and
Observer upon its magnificent report of
the proceedings of the State Convention
When the convention was moved from
Raleigh, / supposed the reports would
be brief, but the report this year was
better than ever. take four State
dailies and the News and Observers re-
port was the fullest and best"
Thus writes a friend. The report was
prepared by Mr.. Edward E. Britton, as
sisted by Mr.. c. J. Rivenbark No two
men ever did better work in one day.
The report cost this paper barrel of
money. for, except two or three speeches
furnished in advance, every line had to
be sent by wire, the schedules from
Greensboro being such that the mail
could not, be utilized at all.
Thursday mornings News and Obser-
yer contained 1712 columns of the report
of the convention. This was the only
paper that printed the tabulated vote
and the picture of every candidate nomi-
mated on the morning after the conven-
ton. The News and Observer leads, even

DAVID AND GOLIATH.

Little Shot Put Old King Coffee Out
of Business.
When medicine fails, they sometimes
send sick people away to another climate
for their health. Sometimes the climate
does it, but more often they stumble on
the proper food to take, and then get
we'll.
A lady in San Diego tells of a friend
who left her home each December, for
the past two winters, to go to California
for her health. She says Almost all
of her time was spent in visiting the doc
tor and sitting in a big chair and watch
ing the clock to note the time for her
next dose of medicine. Nervousness was
her principal trouble, and with others
of kindred nature, made life for her a
burden.
On the occasion of her last visit,
begged her to give up the use of coffee,
and use Postum Coffee. She replied that
she could not stop coffee. l said no
more at the time, but the next morning
at breakfast, l passed her fragrant,
steaming cup of Postum, making it as it
should be made. After that, l had no
more trouble, and my friend drank no
iioiC SoncS. but Tie nOSC SURPRISING
part of the experience was the change
that soon came over her.
We began to notice it within less than
week. In less than a month, her ner-
vousness had left her, and in three
months, she was new woman in face
figure and health. l had not dared to
hope for so much benefit, although | had
been greatly benefited myself by Postum,
but coffee to her system was simply
poisonous, and / believe this is the case
With many others. She returned to her
home in December, and was married
within less than two months after. She
never fails to give credit to Postum for
her health or thanks to me for teaching
her to make it properly. and well she
may, for Postum has done for her what
travel, doctors and medicine failed to
do Name given by Postum Co., Battle

A GOOD RULE.

The Smithfeld Herald says that, latter
having given the matter much thought,
the owners of this paper have decided
that all future letters and communica-
tions intended for publication in the
Herald must appear above their author s
names"
In 1894 this paper established the rule
the Herald will now put in force. The
publication of anonymous communica-
tions has wrought much evil in North
Carolina politics. Men will be quick to
make serious charges against public men
if they can sign, "Old Citizen" or Dem
ocrat," who would not think of making
such charges over their own name. The
Fowle-Jarvis campaign marked the high
tide of the injurious effects of the pub
LEGATION of anonymous contributions. In
1894 there was a wave of such COR
respondence again sweeping over the
State. This paper shut down upon their
publication. The adherence to that rule,
now and then, excludes an interesting
of it's wisdom. The Herald will find that
it works well, and that it will discourage
attacks upon candidates, hasty criticism
and unjust animadversions.
