SIMMONS DECLARES FOR BRYAN.

Hon. F. NJ. Simmons is the senior
member Of the United States senate
from this state. His term of Office ex-
pires mex March. The legislature to
be elected next fall will choose his sue
cessor. He is a candidate for r~e-elec-
ton. Mr.. Simmons is also the chair
man of the state democratic executive
committee. He will most probably be
retained in that position by the state
convention which meets July 3rd. Mr..
Simmons will, then, be the manager OF
the democratic campaign for the cleo
ton of members of the legislature and
of such state officers as are to be voted
for at the November election, and at
the same time, of course, taking care
OF his W political interests as a can
didate to succeed himself as United
States senator.
Therefore, under the existing state
of affairs in North Carolina as above
stated, any declaration from him on
I1kc dll-dDSOlD 1LS 4uS0tloh VI liz ACAt
democratic nominee for president is
very significant and a reliable index of
the trend of sentiment among the
democrats of the state. SO, it will be
interesting to Ii people 10 know that
he has declared for Mr.. Bryan as the
democratic nominee. The Washington
correspondent of the Charlotte Obser-
yer states that Mr.. Simmons is watch
Ing with keen interest the rising tide
that promises 10 make WilliamJennings
Bryan the democratic nominee for
president in 1909 and says that lin
fact, Mr.. Simmons today declared him
self in favor of Bryan" and that while
two years ago he looked with favor
upon the candidacy OF Judge Parker,
he now authorizes a statement Of his
wisdom o1r nominating the Nebraskan."
Mr.. Simmons ticket is Bryan ana Ay-
cock. He thinks these W "wOIla
make a combination which would ap-
peal powerfully to the country"
You may put it down as a foregone
conclusion that the democratic state
convention will declare for Mr.. Bryan
for president and for Mr.. Simmons to
be his own successor as senator and
chairman of the state executive COM
mittee.

THOSE KITCHINS-SIMMONS EN-
DORSEMENTS.

The Messenger made reference a day
or two ago 10 the peculiar action O.
the democratic convention OF Guilford
county in endorsing the records CT
Messrs. Kitchin and Simmons. The
Greensboro Record, which is Il dano-
cratic paper, publishes the following
editorial in explanation OF the con-
duct Of the convention. The whole
tie significance should be attached TO
resolutions Of endorsement of the kind.
The Guilford democrats who adyoCat-
ed standing by the established prece-
dent CT not endorsing by resolution
the record Of any man outside OF their
own county, turned the whole thing
into a joke and make Mr.. Strudwick's
resolution endorsing Congressman
kltchin's opposition TO the fast mail
appropriation Of no significance what
ever. In fact, it put the Congressman
and his friends III a ridiculous pos
ton. The Record say OF this affair
That was a rich proceeding in the
county convention held by the demo-
Gratis saturday to send delegates to
the state and other nominating con-
yentions. It has never been the poll
cy Of Guilford democrats to endorse
candidates other than those from the
county, but Judge Strudwick intro
duced a resolution commencing Con-
gresham Kitchin. Mr.. Kitchin has
no opposition whatever for renomina-
ton and as a matter of fact no one in
the convention had any objection to
him, but Judge Strudwick was asked
to withdraw the resolution simply on
the ground that it had never been the
policy to endorse n one at q con-
vention called for sending delegates,
but he declined n the motion was
carried. Then Mr.. z. V. Taylor NOV
ed that Senator Simmons be endorsed.
Dr.. Brooks moved that Senator Over
man be included and Mr.. Taylor ac-
cepted the amendment and then the
fun commenced. Judge StrudWick
wanted to know if the convention was
going to stultify itself, KiKtchin having
voted against the fast mail ~appropria-
tlon, while both senator's had voted
for it. The convention said nothing,
but it proceeded to "stulify'' all right,
for Mr.. Taylor's motion carried, and,
as Colonel Morehead said, sit was two
to n in favor of the subsidy" AS a
matter of fact the subsidy cut no fig
ure with the body. The convention
did not want to depart from it's usual
custom, but Judge Strudwick insisted
and then out of q, spirit Of fun they
sheared his resolution Of its INTENT
Greensboro Record.

The statement that the negro shot
by Miss Jones at Selma had died Non
day was an error. He did die, though,
Tuesday afternoon. The coroner held
an inquest at the request of the young
1ady's father in order that she might
be exonerated at once and not have
to 60 through the ordeal of a grand
jury investigation of the affair. Of
course the inquest was a mere matter
of form. The greatest stickler for en-
forcement of the law could have moth
ing but commentator of the young
lady for her heroic deed. She did her
state a valuable service in shooting
that negro. The of his death
will have a better effect than a dozen
legal executions or lynchings for the
crime contemplated by the man she
killed.

1t looks as if Albert T. Patrick has
nearly reached the end of his tether,
and that he has about exhausted all
means of securing delays through The
courts. There is nothing left him but
t O appeal to the governor for exercise
of executive clemency. In this he will
hardly be successful. The governor
has respited him several times in or
der to give him the fullest oppOrtun-
ity to take advantage Of every point
and defense in the courts that the law
grants to a condemned murderer. 1t
is remarkable that he has been able
to stave off the inevitable for so long
a time. There are many people who
believe he was convicted or perjured
testimony; that the jury should not
have found him guilty on the evidence
introduced by the state.

AN POINT
Hodges Murder Case May Prove an
Interesting One-A Constitutional

&t& efE -
The Hodges murder case, now pend
ing on appeal to the supreme court,
promises to be a very interesting case
before it is finally settled.
1t is said that the attorneys for
Hodges have noted and appealed on
some fourteen exceptions. At least
one of the exceptions Is a constitu-
tional question:.
1t will be remembered during the
trial of this case the counsel for the
made a motion that all wit
nesses be separated and not allowed
in the court room. This was agreed
to without an order from Judge Fur
gerson. but the order was made and
the judge notified all witnesses that
If they came back into the court room
they would be held in contempt of
court. Just before closing the case
the fonda called w. T. Rigsbee,
who had been in the court during most
Of the trial and had taken notes. The
state objected. Judge Furgerson held
that the rule had been made by the
defendant and that he would have to
live up to 1t. This is the principal
grounds for appeal. 1t is claimed that
this act of Judge Furgerson was in
violation of the constitution OF his
state and Of the constitution of the
United States in that he was not al
lowed to face his accusers with his
witnesses.-Durham Herald.

The ice trust seems to have a firm

The ice trust seems to have a firm
grip on the business in Philadelphia.
Up to last Saturday the wholesale
price to dealers was six dollars a on.
On Monday it was raised to seven iol-
lars. On June 23rd there will be an
other raise and still another on July
1st, to what amounts no one knows.
There was almost an ice famine in he
city on Sunday, the dealers being
afraid to order in large enough guam
titles to supply the demand. The Rec
ord says that one-half the city lad
no ice and the other half but a scant
supply. Signs are put up in many shop
windows: mo more ice during high
prices" Men, who for their own
financial gain, will bring about such a
condition as that in a crowded city
in scorching weather, will be likely in
some future time and state to realize
the comfort Of a little ice.

STATE TEACHERS assembly
Large Number of Educators At
tending the Sessions
Letter From Governor Glenn to the
Observation-Disclosures at the Execu-

Messenger Bureau,

Raleigh, n. c., June Is, 1906
The teachers assembly of North
Carolina, EOw in session here, has
drawn a great number Of teachers.
The weather is quite unfavOrable, par
ticulsrly 20 last night and today.
The eXerci ,cs are held in the audito-
rum Of the Agricultural and Mechani-
cal college, and not in the city. Tho
music today was furnished by the band
OF the state school for the blind, here,
which is All excellent one. Today's
addresses were by Miss Celestial S.
Parish, Of the Georgia State Normal
school, DR.. c.. Alpllonso Smith, of the
University of North Carolina, and Dr..
w. T. Whitsett, of Whitestt Institute.
Governor Glenn was to have spoken
today, but his illness kept him at
home, and the following letter from
him WIS read by State Superintendent
JOyner. After saying it had been his
intention and earnest desire 10 extend
a cordial welcome to the people OF
Raleigh, he was prevented by orders
from his physician from doing so, or
even from being present at the recep-
ton given at the executive mansion
this evening in honor of the teachers,
and that hence he wrote TO assure the
teachers of his interest, and mis- ap-
probation of the great work they are
doing for the state. This, notwith-
standing the great work now going
on, being the greatest of all, this be-
ing the governors estimate Of the no.
BILE calling of the teacher. He says his
platform consists Of four planks, agri-
cultural improvement, industrial de-
velopment, educational power, moral
growth, and he has tried 10 aU
hat he could to advance these liner
ests, but that without an educated
brain, but little can be accomplished
in the other fields mentioned, while
with the educated brain there sones
ambition, an impulse to go forward
and put knowledge to practical execu-
ton. For the amount they receive The
| North Carolina teachers are the poor
est paid, from what they accomplish
of any class of workers in this state,
considering the obstacles, such as poor
houses, inferior equipment, short
terms and many other disadvantages.

women should be awakened to the

interests of their children as to be
