TAR HEEL DEMOCRATS
IN STATE CONVENTION

convention regarding the instruction of
its delegates as to how they should
vote at Denver, replied that before he
attended the meeting of Governors at
Washington, not being altogether
conversant with public opinion, he
had rather inclined to the idea that it
would be better to send AN unin-
structed delegation, but since his visit
to Washington he feels the best
course to pursue would be to definitely
instruct the delegates.
The Governor said that in event
the convention thought Governor
Johnson, or Governor Folk better men
than Mr.. Bryan, it should SO instruct,
but if, on the other hand, it be-
leved Mr.. Bryan to be the most avail
able candidate instructions ought to
be for him.
The Governor said further that he
made it a point while in Washington
to converse with leading men of every
/ section, anu ne Is luOTOuSHly VI tHS
opinion that William ]. Bryan is the
choice of the Democratic party of the
nation. Not only is this so, but he
thinks Bryan can poll much larger
vote than any other man the party
could nominate.
He says that from the opinion OF
men with whom he talked from Ne
braska, Oregon, Ohio and California
he thinks Mr.. Bryan should carry
those States and would stand a good
chance of carrying Illinois and Wis
consin.
The Governor while travelling over
this state during the temperance cam
Ipaign has become satisfied that seven
tenths of the North Carolina Demo
Gratis favor Mr.. Bryan, and for this
treason he thinks the convention ought
TO indorse him. He believes it abso
lutely certain that Mr.. Bryan will be
, nominated.

Commission
Mississippi Central Registers Lusty
Kick Regarding Express Rates
Recently Fixed.
Daily News Special.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss, June 29.-The mem
bers of the State Railroad Commission
have received letter from President
Holder, of the Mississippi Travellers,
inviting them to be their guests at Me-
ridian during the first state convention
of that lusty young organization, June
26 and 27, and it is possible that some
of them will be on hand.
C. L. Loop, manager of the Southern
Express Company, complains to the
commission that it has fixed rates that
are too low on the Mississippi Central
and wants readjustment. He directs
attention to the fact that on certain
hauls the express rate is the same as
the first-class freight, and that he does
not like. The commission will prob
ably reduce the freight charges so as
to relieve this pressure.

nature of the complaints preferred and
to get more complete testimony.
Another commendable feature of the
plan is that it win save citizens who
have complaints to file the trouble and
expense of a trip to the capital, and
perhaps wait of one of two days un-
til their cases can be reached on the
docket.
1t has always been the policy of the
commission when complaints of Sc
rious character are preferred to send
one of its members to make personal
investigation, but the new plan will
allow all the members to personally
familiarize themselves with the pend
| ing troubles.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, June 23.-There is a move
ment on foot among the delegates to
the democratic convention, which con-
venes in Denver on Tuesday, July Z,
for those delegates living in the south
eastern states to meet in st. Louis
on July and go together in a special
train from there to Denver with a six
hour stop-over in Lincoln, Neb., the
home of Hon. w. j. Bryan.
In the event the arrangement goes
through, and it probably will, the in
tention will be to pay their respects
to the Nebraskan and if possible have
him join them and go on their special
TO Denver.
1t is understood that this arrange
ment will not increase the expense of
the trip to any of the delegates living
south of st. Louis and east of the Mis-
sissippi river, but will greatly enchance
the pleasure of the trip.
So far as can be learned here all
the Mississippi delegates and alter
mates, with the exception Of United
States Senator A. J. McLaurin and pos
sibly Ex-Governor Lowry, intend to
make the trip, in which case there
wild be more than forty in the Mis-
sissippi delegation alone.

MANY OF THE LISTS ARE IN
READINESS FOR FILING.
Assessors Nearing the End of Their
Labors-Several Counties Will
Doubtless Order New Land Rolls for
Current Year.

Daily News Special.
Jackson, Miss June 23.-The tax as
SCISSORS in Mississippi are nearing the.
end of their labors, and in a majority
of counties the personally lists on
which taxes for the current year will
be based will be filed with the boards
OF supervisors on or before the first
Monday in July.
The assessment work has made ex-
ceptionally good progress this year in
view of the general inclination of the
public to reduce property values, and
the fact that the assessors are re-
quired under recently enacted statutes
to perform new duties, among them
being the compilation of educable
children lists, collection of farm sta
tistics for the department of agricul-
ture, and furnishing data to the rail-
road commission relative to the prop
erty of common carriers.
| 1t is expected that at the July meet
ings of the boards of supervisors in
several southern counties, notably For
rest, Jones, and possibly Lincoln, new
land assessments will be ordered this
year, and other counties may take ad
vantage of the statute on this subject
This movement is viewed with some
apprehension because of the report
that land values are to be deliberately
lowered as a measure of revenge OF
legislature for failure to give Souu
Mississippi more equitable representa-
tion in that body, and the state audi
tor may have troublesome problem
to deal with when the revised lists ar
forwarded to his office in October.

TO CARRY The DAY
Governor Glenn Says That William
Jennings Bryan Is .Unquestionably
the Choice of the Democrats of the
Nation.

Raleigh, N. c., June 23.-The war
fare which has been Waged with
in the ranks of the Tar Heel Democ-
racy for and against iustucting the
Denver delegation for Bryan will
have its elimination tomorrow. when
the Democratic state convention will
be held at Charlotte. The announce
ment of Governor Glenn that he IA
vors an instructed delegation is eX-
pected to go far toward deciding such
action, although the Johnson adher-
ents have not yet given up all hope.
The johnson men and other anti
Bryanites have been pluming them-
selves with having both the United
States Senators from this state. Sim
mons and Overman, on their side.
Both of them have during the last
month made public their positions on
this matter, and have appeared in
print advertising that the North Caro-
lima delegation to the Denver national
convention should go to Denver 'ur-
trammeled" and free to act As they
should deem best in making the nom
ination for the party's candidate fol
president.
Because of the position the two
Senators have taken there has arisel
a GOODNESS toward them by Mr.. Bryan
who is alleged to have "cut" then
publicly during the conference o
Governors at the White House recent
ly-a story that has not been denied
by either of the Senators, and whicl
has been vouched for by North Caro-
linians temporarily residing at Wash
ington, some of whom are alleged tt
have witnessed the incident.
