Charlotte Cor. Post, 2sth: The oath
feature of the Mecklenburg primary
law was stricken out today At a meet
ing of the county Democratic execu-
tive committee andSthe special com
mittee of five appointed by the anti
primary meeting ofJune 81.
Sanford Express: There are now
eighteen Mormon missionaries in
North Carolina. They are not as ac-
tive in this country as they were a
few years ago. They had a. church
near Cameron some years ago of some
thirty or forty members, but it has
about died out.
Twin City Sentinel New dwellings,
greet the eye IN every side along the
street car line on Southside. Salem
has p1ssed an ordinance for the pre-
tecr.on of birds and bird eggs. Win
st9n viii possibly do the same ;uing.
Let the county join in this good work
AMI our feathered pets and insect de-
stroyers would increase amazingly.
Tarboro Southerner: The great
amount O. building now going on here
is to a very large extent the result of
past Industrial enterpr .ses hat have
been put in operation here. To main
tain our present building fait some
more factories are needed. Cotton
seed oil mills help much, but they
would help more if they were operated
throughout the year.
Star: Shelby bids fair to rival
Asheville in popularity as a health and
pleasure resort. The only thing to
hinder her progress is the fact that
she is not advertised-people don't
know anything about her marvellous
climate, the beauty of her surround
ings and the unequalled natural ad-
vantages which she has to offer the
tourist, the visitor, the tired and
wearied city man, as well as the gay
and gracious pleasure seekers. But
then Shelby is young, and all things
will come along with time.
Danbury Reporter: The Board of
Education in Stokes will erect in a
very short time fourteen modern
school houses in the county. Quite
a number have already been recently
built. This fact among others goes
to show what rapid strides are being
made in school matters in old Stokes.
There has been a lot of complaint over
the county from some districts be-
cause they were deprived of a school
for a season or two, but this was done
in order to save the money and build
new houses where they didn't have
houses hat were fit to teach in.
Raleigh Cor. Messenger: President
Frank O'Donnell will preside at the
Liquor Dealers Association COnven-
ton. Of course the sessions will be
private, not open to the public. The
association is nine years old. 1t had II
1894 $50 members. Since then it has
taken in b~ar-tenders and clerks, many
distiners and wine-makers. It's pres
ent membership is not made public.
At the convention two or three dele
gates will represent each local asso-
citation, meaning each city or town
where liquor is sold; in fact places
where it is not sold, since even in such
counties as Cumberland and in the
~dispensary counties the associations
are kept up. The meeting this week
will be to further the interests of the
business. Of course in the matter of
politics the members will look out for
people who are on their side. The as
ISOLATION must have at least 5000
members. F. W. Ortman, of Whining
ton, is it's secretary.
Washington Cor. Charlotte Observ-
err: Capt. W. III. Day is now a full
fedged Republican. 1t has been gen
eral supposition that Captain Day has
cultivated his new political associates
with certain mental reservations, and
has been careful to burn no bridges.
Today, before being ushered into the
presence of the Chief Executive, he
enioined Senator Pritchard to intro
duce him as a straight Republican,
without IN frills." Moreover, he ex-
pressed a desire to attend the Repub-
lican State Convention as a delegate
and declared his intention to stump
the State for Pritchard.-There is
