through at the earliest time possible. The

for High Point. With the support alrea ~
volunteered and with the united work Of
the various lodges it is thought the mucr

This has been a long felt necessity here
since every day or SO there are persons
who absolutely need the attention of
trained nurses and the comforts and scr
vices a hospital affords.
The freight depot here has been COM
pleted over a month yet its doors are
locked. The railroad company claims as
its reason that the ground Tor which they
want their tracks is not secured, hence
the delay. The right of property owner
ship is now in court and as II seems
sometime before the matter will be set

less to the manufacturers and business

absolutely no truth in the report that
Butler wrote the platform or resolutions.
1t is true he was consulted about the
matter and the propriety of the action
before. but he did not write them orr die

Anyway. as usual, it appears that Sen
ator Butler knows how to raise a breeze
wherever he wills it. An Eastern Repub-
llcan admirer, looking al him in the lobby

Butler, the Mogul.

A by no means undressing aftermath
of the action of the executive committee
has been the quiet and in some cases excited
discussion as TO the authorship. as well
as the propEiety of the very extended
set of resolutions adopted as by play
to Blackburn abrupt get there endorse
ment of Roosevelt 1t is even said that
the platform resolutions" were written
as soon as the papers reached here this
morning, announcing that Blackburn was
going to offer pledge to the President
The holiness of Blackburn's announce
ment took the breath away from the more
timid Eastern members, 1t Is said. and a
conference was said to have been called
at eight O'Clock this morning, and the
platform resolutions decided upon as
the best way to get on 'ail fours' with
the debonar member from the West.
These resolutions are said TO have been
written by ex-senator Marion Butler
chairman of the National Populist Com
mittee. Chairman Buffers presence Is re-.
ported to have been due to his advocacy
of committee endorsement OF John l..
Gore, law partner of Ex-Governor Russell,
of Wilmington, postmaster. The commit
tee declined to take action. but it is re-
liably stated that Chairman Rollins has
been unofficlally authorized to recon-
mend T. E. Wallace, present assistant to
Postmaster Darby for the appointment.
i An influential member Of the committee,
speaking of the matter, said. THE Re-
publican organization does not desire, and
certainly cannot afford to go on record
as deferring to the wishes or demands of
Russell and most assuredly not TO the
aictation of Marion Butler" This same
member when Informed of the welllautben
ticated rumor that Butler wrote the
Dockery resolutions endorsing the Presi.
dent and containing besides formal Re
publican State convention platform three
months ahead of time, said: We'll, il
he did. he got poor satisfaction out of

Warm Campaign Promised.

Durham n. c., Feb. 5.-The outlook
now is that Durham is to have warm
and long drawn LEGAL campaign this year.
There are now two candidates for sheriff
sheriff r. D. Markham and Register
of Deeds J. e. Suit, who wishes to change
nosition. For register of deeds there
are now eight or ten candidates in the
field and it is minated from several
ouorters that there will be others. For
treasurer there are not so MANY candi-
dates at present, but there is no telling
what dav will bring forth. The other
Offices have about an equal number of
aspirants for an opportunity to serve the
people.
The above is all in reference to the
Democratic party. The Republicans are
saving nothing. 1t is expected, how
ever that there will be some other ticket
otber than the straight Republican and
that the Republicans will give this ticket
their support.

Upon the adoption of these resolutions
the question of the time of holding the
State Convention was taken up. There
had been much discussion before hand
about this matter and its settlement was
awaited with more interest than any
other. One part had thought it best to

nominate State candidates. The matter

as the time and at this convention dele
gates will be selected and candidates for
State Offices selected as we'll. E&SJudge
w. p. Bynum, Jr., then offered a rescn-
ton endorsing Hon. Thomas s. Rollins as
chairman, and approving his course in the
administration of the position. This was
adopted. The committee then took a re-
cess at ITO o'clock. The comment gen

jubilant, while the eastern delegation,
while saying nothing, show that there Is
sCme chagrin felt about something. The
West is certainly very much again in the
saddle. The vacancy in the State Exaou-
tive Committee was filled by the election

csssful wholesale liquor dealers and DIS
