THE TICKET BUSTING
Nominees of the D. !. Fort
Ticket arc Declining.
Mr.. John Hardin and Or. 4. 0. Jones, two OF
the Nominees, Declare They are oft
The Ticket.

The one-man convention, with a few
assistants hid out of sight, which noml-
mated a second Dependent" ticket for
Wake county, is having hard time III
keeping his nominees in line.
This is hard indeed on the David Ira
Fort convention for it will have to re-
convene itself and launch out few more
names to public wildly anxious to see
the continuous nominating bee move
ahead.
There were two destinations yesterday
and various "Dicky Birds are chirping
song that some more are to come. Mr..
John W. Hardin, of Raleigh, declines the
nomination for treasurer. and DR.. A. o.
Jones turns down the nomination for
coroner.
This leaves the latest Dependent
promulgated ticket as follows
For Senate, Thad Ivey, of Cary.
For the House. NJ. j. Edwards, of Raj
2igh; John w. Parker, of st. Marys, and
A. n Adams. of Cedar Fork.
For Clerk.
For Sheriff, l.. NJ. Green of NRlse.
For Register of Deeds, d. l. Fort, of
Raleigh.
For Treasurer, -----.
For Surveyor, J. Q. Shaw, of Cedar
Fork.
For Coroner.
For County Commissioners: w w.
Wynne. Of Raleigh; Elijah Perry, of New
Light; A. T. Olive. of White Oak; J. NJ.
Banks. of Swift Creek; A. B. Marshburn,
of Marks Creek.
1t IS recent history of how the first
ticket slumped, and the second is now
sliding Town the chute. Adams, Repub-
lican Revenue Doodle County Chairman,
is actively nursing the baby, but it ain t
growing, and gets thinner.
Mr.. John Hardin of this city was seen
by News and Observer reporter yester-
day. II have received no notice OF a
nomination." said he, except what I've
seen in the newspapers. | have no time
to give 20 the matter and | decline the
nomination. I thank the people who re-
pose this confidence in me, but | de-
cline to be candidate for county treas
urer"
Dr. A. G. Jones stated that his name
had been placed on the ticket for coroner
without his knowledge. and that though
he appreciated the nomination, still as
his time was taken up he declined it,
And thus moves on the procession. The
skeleton ticket promises to skeletonizc
itself some more, as friends of Mr.. l..
NJ Green. named for Register of Deeds,
do not think he viii accept. and Mr. NJ.
j. Edwards, named for the House, is
thinking tho matter over.

SITUATION rs VERY SERIOUS.
Mr.. ]. A. Jones Tells Of Some Interviews With
Prominent Coal Men.

I have Just returned from several
places hunting for coal that could be
shipped. My first point was Philadelphia,
where ! saw an old firm who are miners
as well as shippers of anthracite coal.
They say that it will be impossible to
ship any anthracite coal South this win
ter. l then saw all the miners of bitumi-
nous coal in that State. They were all
sold ahead for the season. and had none
to offer at any price. l then visited
Baltimore and could not find any Mary
land coal for sale at any price. | then
went to Roanoke. Va, and learned that
there were a great many cars of coal
loaded in the Pocahontas and Thacker
fields which could not be moved for want
of motive power. ] waited in Roanoke
to see General Manager Johnson with
whom ] had very pleasant interview.
He said he was doing all he could with
the power he had and hoped soon to have
conditions improved but COULD not make
any definite promise.
The situation is very serious and much
suffering is apprehended from want OF
fuel as well as great losses and incon
veniences for want of steam power for
manufacturing industriesu. l will give
more detailed account of what l saw
later.
Yours, &c.

Especial to News and Observer
Chapel Hill, n. c., Oct. 1S.-Col. Thos.
w. Mason, of Northampton county, spoke
here this afternoon before a large num-
Der of citizens and students for over two
hours, discussing in full the main issues
involved in the present political cam
paign.
After being introduced by Judge Nc
Rae in a few well selected words, Colonel
Mason, as a preface to his speech, paid
his respects to Senator Pritchard, charg-
ing in substance that while the people of
North Carolina were exerting all their
energies to secure adoption of the con-
stitutional amendment, Senator PritChard
was in the Senate Offering a resolution
to secure expression of that deIiberative
body in condemnation of such proceedings.
Continuing he entered upon keen and
animated dissertation of the ways of the
Republican party, declaring that a party
which would adjourn a Legislature in
honor of Fred Douglass in preference to
Robert E. Lee, was unworthy of the sup
port of any patriotic citizen in North
Carolina. Colonel Mason's effort is cal
culatcd to add sledge hammer blows for
the cause of Democracy.

way they were treated at Chicka-

The truth is the Reds are the
ones to roar The Lawton team
arrived in Chickasha without no
tifying the Reds that they were
coming. They we're, however,
raken to one of the best boarding
houses in the city. There they
openly insulted the house by turn
ing up their delieate noses and de
claring that boarding house was
not good enough for them; that
they must feed at the best hotel IN
the city. 1t was carefully explain
ed to the Rubes that no rates
could be obtained at the hotel that
they hankered after, but at any
other hotel reduced rates could
be obtained. Like most other
