HIS STRENGTH IN MCDOWELL.

Marion, April s. Politics is begin
ming to warm up in the tenth congress
sional district, as is evidenced by the
fact that ex-CongreSsman W. T. Craw-
ford, of Waynesville, was around look
ing after his prospects of this county,
don't come off" counts for much the
gentleman evidently thinks that his
chances are good for securing the nomi-
nation &C the hands of his party, which,
of course, means his election. Mr.
Crawford has a great many friends in
Mcdowell and it will take a pretty
strong man to overcome the number of
delegates which will very probably be
instructed for him at the primaries
which will be held in this county this
summer. Mr.. Crawforc's friends have
not forgotten, nor will they forget, the
disgraceful treatment accorded him by
the republican congress in 1898, in
which his election was taken from him
and the seat to which he was elected by
the people of this district given to the
Duke of Richmond Hill" They re-
member the personal sacrifices which
he made to carry on that campaign and
they also remember his valiant efforts
in the year 1900 when he was opposed
by that strong republican war-hOrse,
the late Congressman j. NJ. Moody,
when national issues were seemingly
relegated to the rear in this district,
and the question of the adoption of the
constitutional amendment was before
the people.-Marion Correspondence,

The democratic party should

FOLLOWING IN BuNooMBE.

Hon. w. T. Crawford. of Waynesville,
was in the city yesterday shaking hands
with his many friends. Mr.. Crawford
is an avowed candidate for the demo
cratic congressional nomination in the
tenth district this year and although
the politlcal-wise declare that Mr..
Crawford was here in the interest OF
his candidacy, the, Waynesville man re-
fuses to talk on matters political or to
express ar opinion relative to the
situation.
Mr.. Crawford has made frequent Wis
its to AsheviIle and Buncombe county
during the past few months and his
friends declare that he will 60 into the
convention with quite a following from
Buncombe. The fight for the demo-
cratic congressional nomination is prac-
tically a th~ree-cornered affair, between
Mr.. Crawford. Congressman Gudger
and Mr.. Hewitt. 1t is said that there
will probably be other names presented
to the convention but thus far the three
named are in the lead and the real con-
test will be between the Haywood coun-
ty man and the two gentlemen from
Buncombe. -Gazette-News.

THE PRESIDENT HAS CHANGED
Saw Effect Of Pining with Booker
with His Own Eyes and Was
Convinced.

81 heard a congressman tell an inter
esting story of the Booker Washington
dinner incident at Washington a few
years ago. said a Charlotte man who
has recently been north on a trip.
This congressman SAID that Presi-
dent Roosevelt had told a friend that
his theory about the negro was good he
thought. but that it would not do to put
in practice. He invited Washington to
dinner with him, believing that it was
his own affair and that it was all right:
his college training had taught him
that.
"But ten days after the incident, as
President Roosevelt was on his way
back from a little tour, he saw a white
train hand knock a negro steamboat
porter down for putting his hand on his
shoulder. Roosevelt saw that the man
who struck the blow was a brakeman
on his train, and, after leaving the sta
ton, he sent for the young fellow and
asked him if he was from the south.
LIN 4OA4O" w bAoU lO was 1IOlA L CAk1-
syIvanla, When questioned about
striking the negro he said that it was
in his blood, for any of his people would
have done it. He would not permit d
negro to put his hands on him That
and other incidents convinced Roose-
welt that, if his theory about the negro
was right, it was not practical, and
could not be lived up to in this country.
Then too,' the congressman added,
the president heard of a negro catch
ing a little white girl by the hands and
holding on to her, saying that he was
rs good as she was for President Roose-
velt said so when he dined Booker
Washington
SIN other words, the Roosevelt idea
would bring no end of trouble and
bloOdshed for the reason that the negro
was not prepared, if in any way quail
fed, for such treatment. The president
has realized this. "-CharlOtte Observer.

GREENSBORO, JULY THIRD.

'Fhe Democratic State Conven-
tion will be held in Greensboro on
the third day of July.
That was the action taken at a
largely attended meeting of the
Democratic State Executive Com
m1ttee last night. The Raleigh
people did not ask for the conven-
ton, deciding not to do so until
the contemplated auditorium is
completed and ready. It served
notice that the building would be
ready and the convention would
be askedto meet In Raleigh in 1908.
Not until noon yesterday was
Asheville put into the running,
and to tho surprise of everybody
when the vote was announced
Asheville came within two votes
of getting the convention, many
members of the committee having
been won over by the convinc-
ing speeches of Messrs. Gallert,
Shipman and Blair.
Greensboro got 81 votes to Ashe-
vile %, land the next convention
will be held in that delightful and
progressive city. It gave elegant
entertainment at the two past con-
ventions and will do likewise
again.-News and Observer.
The defeat of Asheville is due
largely to the absence of western
members and committees repre-
senting the various commercial ill.,
terests and numerous organiza-
lions of that city. Not a single
Asheville man was present and the
contest was consequently an up
hill business. But then our neigh
Dor had not intended to ask for
the convention this year ard no
organized effort was made TO Sc
cure it, In fact, no thought of
getting it was entertained until
the day previous to the meeting
of the committee. So near and
yet SO far. Greensboro is all right,
to be sure.

The Law of 1t.

The old buck in the story who drop
ped a sovereign in the plate at church,
mlstaking it for a penny, could get nc
great satisfaction out of the sexton, as
will be recalled, but he wasn't the old
buck to give up easily.
Accordingly he sought legal advice
with a view of instituting a suit at law.
But the lawyer whom he consulted
was n of those rare and gifted souls
who would rather be witty than rich,
or almost anything else for that mat
ter.
"Sir." said he at once, 'tyou have no
case. You we're guilty of contributory
negligence Puck.

DANGERl WAKE UPl

It is said that beginning the
first of April and continuing until
the last of June all rural free de-
livery mail carriers are required
to keep an accurate record of the
number of packages delivered on
each route. This instruction has
been given with a view to discon-
tlnuing daily delivery on routes
which carry less than an average
of 1900 pieces of mail matter
during the time stated. On routes
falling below 900 packages thrice
a-week deliveries will be made, or
probably suspended altogether.
We should very much regret the
discontlnuance of any route, or a
reduction to anything less than a
daily delivery, but if the service
is not appreciated by the people
living along the routes, of course,
the privilege of present mail facil-
tiles will have to be withdrawn, if
the Post Office Department carries
out the order suggested. There
fore, it behooves our people to take
more interest In the matter, and a
good thing will be to work up SUBJ
scriptions for newspapers and 9TH
er periodicals, increasing thereby
the number of packages delivered
on the various routes. Alec by
putting mp boxes and encouraging
the department in every possible
way.
We are referring to this matter
to warn our people of the danger
confronting them along the line
suggested. The Postofics De-
partment, doubtless, means what
it says and no power on earth ex-
cept patrons of the rural free de-
livery routes can prevent the exc
cution of this decree. This con-
gressional district already has
fewer of these routes than any
other in the state and we should
regret to hear of the discontinue
ance of a single one. 1t is now
up to the people and the loss of
any route will be upon the heads
of the patrons thereof. OF course,
many of the routes exceed the re-
quirements, but a goodly number
are in danger of abolition and will
have to go in the absence of due
appreciation on the part of the
people Why not wake up and
make an effort to. hold on to what
you have? "Where there's a will,
there's a way"

STATE DEMOCRACY TO MEET.
Convention Will Again. be Held in

of Executive Committee.

Greensboro gets the next Democratic
State Convention and the date of holding
is Wednesday, July 3rd.
The vote upon the place of holding the
convention was 81 for Greensboro 20 Ashe-
vile. As soon as the committee had or
place of meeting. at the request of the COM
mercial bodies of Raleigh, James H. Pou
stated that Raleigh would not ask for the
convention this year, that plans were now
perfecting which would give Raleigh a fine
ard adequate auditorium, and when COM
pleted Raleigh would ask for the State Con-
ventlon in 1908.
Boom For AshevilIe
About Don yesterday, as the members
of the committees arrived, some of the
western members started a boom for Ashe-
vile, and strong sentiment was manifested
in favor of holding the convention in the
mountain metropolis. Messrs. Gallert.
Mills, Shipman, Blair, and others. were
active and came within three votes of cap
turing the convention. In his strong
speech for Ashevllle Mr.. Gallert empha-
sized the help and encouragement it would
give to the democracy of the mountains if
the State Convention would hold its ses-
sion there this year. He read telegram
from representative bodies offering the
magnificent auditorium that seats $500
people from Battery Park Hotel Offering q
rate of 50 so and other organizations and
the Mayor extending hearty invitation.
Invitation From Greensboro.
Senator Scales and G.. Sam Bradshaw
extended the invitation from Greensboro.
That live city that is always on deck with
both feet sent a strong delegation repre-
senting every civic organization, the city
and county democracy, and all parties to
make the invitation hearty and generous.
They put the case IF Greensboro strongly,
aud every nan present knew that Green's
boro would live up to Its far promises as it
did in 1902 and IN 1904.
The vote was very close-surprisingly
close-betweeu Asheville and Greensboro,
and the Greensboro people who were con-
6deRt of victory almost held their breath as
the roll was called. When it was found
that Greensboro had the majority, Colonel
Gallert moved to make it unanimous, and
it was heartily done.
