THE STATE CONVENTION.

The Democratic State conven-
ton held in Charlotte last week
was the largest and most enthu-
siastic gathering of the kind ever
witnessed in the States Political
history. The attendance was
fully 5000, including the specta-
tors, which was composed largely
of ladies. Many exciting Incl
dents occurred but the best of
feeling prevailed throughout the
entire long drawn-out contest for
Governor, resulting in the nomi-
nation of Congressman W. w.
Kitchin on the 61st ballot.
Charlotte is an ideal convention
city and did herself proud in the
entertainment. of this great gath
ering of the States best citizens
Not one word of complaint did
the writer hear of the service
rendered in any particular.
The auditorium in which the
convention was held is a mag
nificent edifice admirably suited
to occasions like the mammoth
affair of last week. The hotels
handled the great crowd admir-
ably and the entire citizenship
of Charlotte cooperatedi in giving
the visitors a,good time. The
State Democratic Convention was
never so pleasantly entertained
before. 1t will be a hard job to
getit away from the Queen City
hereafter.

ing delivered into the county
prison a young white man, who
had escaped from the chain

of this, escaped Wednesday.
Mr.. Whitaker being on the look
out, picked him up at the depot
Friday morning. and placed him
in safe keeping until he could
take him back to the gang.

THE next GOVERNOR.

We take off our hats to Mr.. w.
W.. Kitchen.
It doesn't make anydifference
whether we were for him or
against him before; we are all for
him now, for we must not forget
that we are all North Carolinians
We have taken our chances in a
council Of our peers and whether
we are gamers or losers we must
abide our result. If the victors
of last evening had lost in the be-
autiful game, they would have
been. called on to stand the con-
sequences; the losers must not
be less loyal than they would
have expected the others to have
been.
This means that all of us enlist
under the banner of Mr. Kitchen.
To do this is only to follow the
path of duty which, while some.
times hard, is always plain. Tt
none is this so difficult as it is tt

cry, but to the human infirmity
which cannot forgive an imputa-
ton upon the character in a min
ute.
Gentlemen, of North Carolina,
we present to you our nominee
for Governor; the Hon. William
w. Kitchen our next Executi-
We, the man who will stand in
the nations eye for four years
next as the representative of our
State.
The beautiful sentiment ex-
pressed above appeared in the
last Sundays issue of the Char
lotte Observer a few hours after
Hon. w. w. Kitchen was named
as the democratic candidate for
Governor by the State ConYen-
ton. It shows the commendable
spirit of a brave and fearless
man and reads like the utterance
of an honest heart. Every true
democrat will endorse this manly
surrender of a v~anquished war
rior. The Observer has been 10y
al to Locke Craig from the insip-
ence of the contest, because it
him the most capable
and deserving aspirant for the
governorship. 1t fought good
fight and kept the faith to the
end. But having failed in it's
purpose it does the handsome
by uniting in the support of the
successful candidate.
Mr.. Kitchen bitterly denounc-
ed the Observer, during his cam
paign for Governor, in almost
every speech he has made and
the commendable spirit exhibit
ed by that paper will be received
with approval by every democrat
in North Carolina. The article
should appear in every democrat
ic newspaper in the State. 1t is
such advice as this that will re-
suit in presenting a united front
to the enemy in the approaching
campaign and a sweeping victory
next November. While The
Hustler preferred Locke Craig
for Governor it is now for w. w.
Kitchen. Hail to the Chief"

Locke Craig is not a sucker,
Soon after Mr.. Kitchen was
named for Governor, Mr.. Craig
appeared upon the platform and
made a ringing speech pledging
his support to the party and
thanking his friends for loyalty.
Locke Craige is a man.

An Unusual Attraction To The
HGndGrSOnViIIG Plateau.

The large number of people
who have yearly gone to Sugar
Loaf mountain will be particularly
pleased at the work now going
on, on that mountain. AS nearly
every one knows the center from
which this wonderful country has
been seen is Salola Inn, which,
this year is being run by Sheriff
Williams.
A carriage road is now building
from this attractive hotel which
is over 1000 feet above sea level,
to the top of the Appalachian
Falls.
The road traverses the side of
the mountain just above the fam
Gus Bear Pen Clipps. Regular
hack service will take the sight
seer over what is destined to
become the most stupendously
interesting trip to be found any
where east of the Rocky Noun
tains.
The visitors after starting on
this trip to the mountain tops is
soon filled with the higest enthu-
siasm. The first stop is made at
a point just above Bear Pen Clipps
where a short walk takes him to
a great precipice over looking
great stretches of mountains,
valley, plains in unbroken view
for a hundred miles. From this
point the carriage drives direct
to the top of the Appalachian
Falls which are 960feet in height,
the third highest in the United
States. At this point the party
leaves the carriage and walks
along the wonderland trail, a
bench on the face of the precipice
of Chimney Rock mountain of
one mile in length. The overwhelm
ing interest and granduer of this
trip is simply beyond belief only
to those who have taken it..
1t was at Inspiration Point
that the famous "Moonshiners
Country picture was taken by
the celebrated Asheville photo
grapher, Mr.. N. Brock. Among
the things seen is the Appalach-
ian Falls, the Phantom Arch,
Grand hog slide, Wild cat trap, etc
Lastly at the eastern end of this
truly wonderful trail just as the
sightseer rounds a corner of the
precipice the famous Chimney
Rock bursts in all it's stupendous
majesty. Truly was it we'll named
rising as it does like huge Chin
ney over 230 feet in hight, the
summit being reached by a series
of stairways and through a min
iature cave. From the top of the
Rock the Chimney Rock Company
are now constructing several
flights of stairways which will
enable tourists to go to the very
summit of the precipice overlook
ing Chimney Rock itself. From
this point the grandest of all
views is spread out before them.
Words fail in trying to describe
it. From this point a short trip
takes them up to a point above
where they find awaiting the hack
which brought them to the top
of the falls. 1t will be a mystery
as to just how it gets there but
this is the secret of the hack man
All these improvements are now
in the making and by July 1st,
a new trip will be given the Hen
Jacksonville tourist the equal of
which does not exist in America

possible, however, that such sounds
may be audible In remarkable distinct
ness where there is a high coast,
though they may come from a great

are placed accidentally so that behind
them rises a wall which receives the
sound and throws It back.
On some coasts that are often visited

said TO have their origin, for some rea
