ed the following reference to it III Its
issue of May the 10Th:
1.-The only sensation, etc, was when
Judge Robinson = e * arose upon the
reading of the report of the commit
tee on resolutions ana protested
against the section cOndemnlng the
Watts liquor law
Substantially the same account
quoted above from the Charlotte Cd
server appeared in the Charlotte News
of May 18th, 1904.
Mr. Thomas S. Rollins, Republican
State Chairman, is mailing to individu-
al voters in different parts of the State
under cover of ordinary envelopes a
lot of Republican literature, among
which is what purports to be the Re
publican State platform, adopted al
Greensboro, May 18th, 1904. In the
platform thus being distributed by
Chairman Rollins, the only reference
to temperance and temperance legis-
lation is the following:
xviii We favor, as we have ever
favored, just and equal laws for the
promotion of temperance, but in pur-
suance of our time-honored policy OF
Local Self Government we favor a
law which submits to the quallfled
voters of the several counties and in
ccrpOrated towns of the State, at their
request, the question of whether they
shall or shall not be permitted to
make and sell intoxicating liquors, and
the faithful execution of their will as
expressed at the ballot box"
1t will be seen from the above that
the portion of the temperance plank
as published the morning after the
Gay of the convention with reference
to the Watts Bill and in black type,
and referred to in the account of the
Greensboro Record, Charlotte Observ-
er and Charlotte News is omitted
leaving no specific reference in the
platform whatever to the Watts Bill
What does this mean? Have the
Republican bosses changed their plat
form as adopted by the convention
1T so, when did they change it and
what was the purpose of the change
Why are they sending copies of this
revised platform under cover to i'll
dividuals in different sections, per
haps carefully selected sections? 1t is
lican bosses to make nominations OF
candidates in secret caucus, to take
down candidates after they are nOmi
mated and put up other candidates by
committees without consulting theil
people. They have even gone so fal
in some cases in disregard of The
voters of their party as to refer al
nominations to committees. Is it pos
Sible that the bosses have now reach
ed the point where they have dared
to change the platform after the ad
JOurnment of their convention?

Durham. N. c., Sept. ARRANGE
ments have been made for lnstltutlns
one suit against the Atlantic d North
Carolina Railroad on account OF the
accident to the military train in when
two Durham soldiers lost their nVcs
and two others were hurt. Inc reldc
tives of Private j. Bum Warren one OF
those killed, are to institute a dam-
age suit. 1t is thought that other SUITS
may follow this one.
The suit will be brought under the
pauper act, the necessary papers Tor
this action being signed yesterday al
ternoon by Clerk of the Court {. Is.
Green. j. b. Christian has qualified
as administrator of the estate OF the
deceased and the suit will be brought
in his name.
1t is not known what amount will be
asked by the plaintiff. The plead
ings in the case have not yet been
filed and the particulars will not be
known until this is done. 1t is learned
that one of the main contentious for
damages will be that the conductor
of the train was told that the men
were on top and asked to stop and gel
them down. His reply, it is stated
was that his next stop was Goldsboro
The plaintiff will contend THAI
he ran his train into dangerous
bridge, knowing that the men
were on top and that he did not
stop and save their lives by letting the
| officers order them down.
While this is the only suit yet in
stituted it is thought that other suits
will follow.
