A Thousand Million SIMS.

Lord Kelvin once made some inter.
esting calculations of the probable total
amount Of gravitation matter in the
visible universe. He showed that If D.,
100000 years ago 1,000,000,000 masses
each equal to our sun. had been dis
tributed through n sphere about 1S,
600, ,OO0, ,00C, 100000 miles in radius they
would now have acquired velocities
about equal to those known to he pos
sessed by the stars visible to us. There
fore it is probable that the total amount
of gravitational matter in the visible
universe does not differ much from
that of 1000, 100000 suns.

THE PLATFORM ADOPTED.
Forceful Declaration of Democratic Principles
and Denunciation of Republican Policies

The next question to engage the at
tention of the convention was that of
primary or no primary in the nomination
of Senator to succeed Pritchard. The
majority report of the platform
was for a primary law to apply to all
State and district elections and instructed
the executive committee to order one for
the nomination for Senator at some date
not on the day of the regular election.
A motion was made to eliminate all ref
erence to the primary from the platform
and ]. G. Buxton, of Forsyth, spoke
earnestly in favor of the primary plan
and asked that it be adopted. With
great fervor w. T. Crawford. of Hay
wood spoke against the primary and
plead that it be left to the Legislature.
Cameron Morrison for the committee,
urged the adoption of the majority re-
port and said that this was simply the
reaffirming OF pledge made by the De-
mocracy at its last convention.
r. n. Hackett, of Wilkes spoke in
favor of the primary. He spoke with
great force. He believed in the people
settling this matter and especially so as
counties like Wilkes, with eighteen hun
dred Democratic votes, have no voice in
selecting United States Senators, as they
with county overwhelmingly Republic
can, have no representative in the Legis-
lature. He argued that by the primary
his people were given chance to ex-
press their views, even if they live in a
Republican, ridden section.
H. L. Stevens, of Union, in the midst
of great confusion spoke for the primary,
spoke against it. Then the convention
voted to close debate, and the vote was
had on the motion of w. P. Bachelor,
of Wake who had moved to strike out
all reference to primaries from the plat
form, and the amendment was adopted
by vote of 1913 against 290.
