ANOTHER STEEL BRIDGE.
To be Erected Over Cape Fear Near Duke, in
Earnett County.
Especial to News and observcr.)


Ellington, N. c., April 9.-The Board of
Commissioners of Harnctt county yester-
day passed a resolution to build at once
steel bridge at Aversasbcro Ferry, on
the Cape Fear River, near the town of
Duke, in Harnett county. This bridge
will cost about ten thousand dollars. Bids
for construction will be received by the
boar don the first Monday in May. This
is the second bridge that the county has
built recently, the bridge over the Cape
Fear at Ellington having been completed
little more than a year ago.
The bridge proposed to be constructed
at Averasboro is a great necessity. all
the more so in view of the erection of
the cotton mill of the Dukes at Duke.
The people of lower Harnett and upper
Cumberland will be greatly benefited by
the erection of this bridge.
The financial condition of the progress
sive county of Harnett is such that the
issuance of bonds for the erection of this
bridge is not necessary, provision for tho
payment for its construction being made
from the general funds of the county.

Every prominent Federal officer holder

Like the late State Convention too,
up to the very hour, two and a half
o'clock of the meeting of the commit
tee in Judge Pritchard's headquarters in
the Benbow Hotel nobody seemed to
know or willing to bank on, who would be
the choice of the meeting for the posi-
tiOns Everybody almost, agreed that the
chairman should be in close geographical
touch with cx-Chairman Holton, who,
while he could not with proprety take
the Craftsmanship again, could easily
thereby run it, with his old vigor and
vim.
The three closest = Holton are Wal
ser, of Davidson; f. Alexander, of
Winston, and Bap of Davie.
Bailey was gene ally banked on, though
he alone of the three protested to the
last that he was not seeking or desir-
ing the position, modestly asserting that
he was not a prominent enough man
to wear the mantle of an United States
Senator. Neither Alexander nor Walser
have been heard to make any such dec
larations.
For National Committeeman, ex-Judges
Robinson and TimherIake, J. N. william
son, Jr.. and Frank Mebane were promi-
nent candidates and had many advocates
in the crowd.
But up to the very hour of the an
nouncement of the selection by tho COM
mittce, nobody seemed to know who
would he who Certainly this meant that
no one exactly knew Senator Pritch-
ards mind, until the die was actually
cast.
There was good deal of discussion
of the fact that of the fifteen members
of the committee five of them resided in
the Fifth Congressional district. Major
Moody, a member being dead this district
alone cast one-third of the entire vote
OF the State committee.

Interest in the Charlotte Primary.
Especial to News and 0bscrvor)

tSpSCIdl " NEWS anu ODScIFCl.i
Charlotte, n. c., April 9.The present
interest in political circles centers around
the Democratic primaries to be held
Saturday. The friends of Mayor Brown
are making strenuous efforts to get out
full vote at the primary and the friends
of Mr.. Franklin are trying to keep as
many voters as possible away from the
primary. For these reasons the size of
the vote in Saturdays primary will be
awaited with much interest. AS there
is no opposition ticket to be voted for in
the primary Saturday, the vote will nat
urally be somewhat small. If Mr.. Brown
should receive anything near half the reg
istercd vote Of the city his friends will
consider that an indication of his cleo
tion. As further confirmation of this
view they cite the fact that in the cleo
ton two years ago he received only $40
votes there being no opposition, while
III the primary where there was a con-
test he received 1,106 votes.
