THE NEXT GOVERNOR
Reasons Why Western
North Carolina Asks
For Davidson.

Especial to The News and Observer)
Buncombe County Democratic Con-
vention, resolutions we're adopted with
great enthusiasm giving reasons why
the Democracy of Western North Car
DINA believe it the part of wisdom for
the State Convention to nominate Hon.
Theodore F. Davidson for Governor.
The resolutions are as follows:
THE Democrats of Buncombe
county in convention assembled send
greetings to their political brethren
throughout the State and all the re-
giOns round about and with pride re-
call the great and beneficial results
which have been brought to ali the
people Of our State by the adminiS-
tration of their affairs through the in
strumentality of the Democratic par
ty; and it is with peculiar pleasure
they congratulate their brethren OF
the East and centre upon their final
emancipation from the political and
social evils which SO seriously threat
ened their most sacred institutions.
and the advancement of the prosperi-
ty of their section. 1t has been u
cause of sincere pleasure to the
Democrats of the mountains that they
have been able materially to aid lii
the redemption of their brethren of
the East and Centre from the dan
gers which so seriously threatened
them, and to bring about a condition
which will. if wisely employed, secure
their political supremacy for genera
tons to come.
cat the approaching State conven-
ton of our party, we will ask our
friends from other portions of the
State to nominate a representative of
the Western Democracy for the great
office of Governor of North Carolina
and we earnestly press upon the con-
sideration of our friends throughout
the State the claims of this section
We are profoundly impressed with the
conviction that every consideration of
political justice and sound party
policy re0uires that the political sit
uatlon in the west slldIi receive inns
recognition. The very nature of the
political issues which we have had to
maintain for the past ten years has
been such that the greater burden has
been thrown upon the Western
Democrats and they have been ne
cessarilv in the forefront of the bat
tles-a nosition they would not have
avoided if they could, and which they
have at all times cheerfully accepted
with unfailing Loyalty and devotion to
their party and people. They hope it
will not be considered immodest for
them now to ask that the party shall
use t6js occasion to give them that
prominent position in the coming po-
litical campaign that the future well
fare Of the party would seem to de-
mand and will, at the same time, as

(From the Savannah Morning News.)
To the already famed Florida and
West Indian Limited, of the Atlantic
Coast Line, an addition has been
made which will be appreciated by
the travelling public, both for local
and through traffic.
AS a part of the train which each
day pulls out of the Union Station at
2:15 CLOCK. city time, for New York,
is d fine coach built on new pattern
by the Pullman Company. The eX-
terror OF the car closely resembles
that of q Pullman sleeper, and has
the words Atlantic Coast Line" on
it's border. Inside the car is finished
in handsome oak, and has wide Pull
man vestibules and high-back plush
seats. The car is lighted by Pintsch
gas and is of unusual length. A
roOmv smoker is at one end.
Six of these coaches have just been
turned out of the Pullman shops for
the Coast Line and have the last week
been added to the service. The run of
the cars is from Jacksonville to
Washington Guy, leaving Savannah
at 2:15 o'clock in the afternoon and
reaching Washington 1854 o'clock the
following morning. Southbound, the
train reaches Savannah from New
York at 1902 a. m, city time.

Sad Death of a Little Child-Others

Greensboro, n. c., June 14.-The

One-year-old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. l. Young, was attended Sunday
morning by a large number of SYM
pathetic friends, the interment being

Young, who was in Texas comforting
with members of the syndicate, who
are making preparations to build the
extensive EtoWah cotton mills here,
received a message Thursday stating
the critical illness of his child but
understood it as referring to his wife.
Consulting railroad schedules, he
found there would be serious delays
on any regular train in reaching
Greensboro, and at several hundred
dollars expense, he chartered a spe-
cial train, to enable him to reach here
without delay. His special train was
delayed with aggravating and tanta-
lizing experiences along the route, so
that he only reached Greensboro Sat
urday, thirty minutes ahead of wha.
he would have done on a regular
train. His inquiry of the first friend
he saw at the station, as to the con-
dition of his wife was answered by
the intelligence that it was his child
who had been so sick, and that it had
died the night before.
Mr.. w. II. Thomas, one of the best
and most highly respected mechan-
| les in the city died early yesterday
morning of dropsy. after an illness o.
several weeks, and the funeral took
place late yesterday evening from the
residence of his brother, Mr.. c. f,

Christmas Books.

h.e OIEIoeIItGo 000NSs NHI
A book is one of the finest Christ
mas gifts that can be secured, and is
almost always appreciated. Very few
people are to be found who do not
read some and these are usually those
who do not know how to pick out a
book which will interest them. 1t Is
extremely hard to tell how to pick
out a book, owing to the fact that the
tastes of different people differ SO
widely that one must take the charac-
ter of the person into consideration,
For quiet people who stay at home a
good deal, the classic writer's, such
as George Elliot, Scott, Dickens OF
some such book as East Lynne, Rosa
N. Carey's works, and some others,
Liyelier people will find more interest
in the more modern novels, although
many Of the older books are equally
good.
In picking out a book for a boy, you
will be safe in picking out one of the
Henty books. The works of ]. Fen
nimore Cooper are usually enjoyed
by boys.
Kirk Monroe's books are good ones,
but are rather expensive, as are also
Horatio Alger, Jr., Edward Stratemy'
er, E. s. Ellis and others.
Among girls books the works Of
Rosa N. Carey are considered among
the best. L. T. Meade is another
prominent writer for girls. Mrs. A
D. T. Whitney, Pansy5 and several
others are usually considered good
Juvenile books are perhaps the
hardest Of all to pick out. This is
mainly because few children's books
are published in medium editions
Most Of them are either the cheap
board cover or else in the high priced
copyrights. Frank l.. Baum's sto
ries usually interest small children

A. LOTHARIO IN JAIL.
Had Only Ten Cents but a Bunch Of
Warm Love Letters.

Marshalltown, Dec. 16.-With his
pockets filled with the names Of pref

choice collection of love letters, dainty
and bold, a young man by the plebeian
name of Smith, but who is said to be
Albert J. Weiss, is in Jail here under
bond of 5000 bound to the grand jury
on the charge of lewdness.
This indelicate situation is only an
incident to the real story unfolded by
the arrest of Weiss-Smith.
For the current story is to the effect
that his wife, a prominent society
girl of Omaha, was instrumental in Sc
curing his Incarceration, while her
brother is seeking evidence to back
more serious charges against him
charges which may lead to a divorce
on statutory grounds or put an end to
the sinuous and fascinating Don Juan
role which Smith Weiss is alleged to
have been playing in Iowa.
When he was searched, after his
arrest, 10 cents was found upon him,
but love letters which were warm
enough to supply the want Of a top
coat, and the names of enough
wealthy and beautiful young Iowa
women to fill the directory of a 400.
