organization OF a second and the
election of another chairman. L. L.
Hicks was chairman of the reguluar,
as old executive committee, and Z.
II. Turner was elected chairman OF
the "insurgent," or new committee.
1t appears that there was some IT.
regularity in this election, however,
but both committees have held on
and done "business just as il both
were right.
AS a consequence of this state OF
affairs two conventions were held
and two sets of delegates were elected
to the State convention. The dele
gates elected by the convention called
bv Mr.. Hicks committee were recog- |
nized as the official and duly ac-
credited representatives from Vance
county and they were seated. This
is interesting among other things
chiefly from the fact that Turner's
committee had endorsed 5. G. Sat |
terwhite for postmaster OF Hender-
son, while Hicks committee is under
stood to be favorable to the appoint
ment OF W. II. Jenkins, incumbent.
THE Mill News, Charlotte, the great
Southern weekly for textile workers
devoted to the upbuildiDg OF the
South's greatest industry, has passed
into the twelfth volume. Mr.. G. S.
Escott is editor-manager and thor
oughly enjoys his work. His paper Is
meeting with golden success. Mrs.
Lisette Clayton Hood is the associate
editor. Her contributions show true
literary ability, and are prepared
with an elegance and charm that Is
at once inspiring-Charlotte South
ern Publisher.
The Mill News is indeed most ex-
cellent publication and is doing a
good work for the class for whom it
is designed-mill people generally
owners and operators. We do not
know what circulation it has in Hen
dersOn and other mill communities
hereabouts. but we do know that it
ought to be widely read because it is
worthy of patronage. The Mill News
ought to be taken and read in very
family wherever there is a cotton
mill settlement, because they would
be benefited by so doing. Such
publication tends toward making
better citizens-and better opera
tives and "bosses" and owners.
Rocky MOUNT has for some time
been trying to support two papers
or two papers have been trying to
exist there. Result: One of them
gives up the ghost and is absorbed
by the Other-anOther case of the
survival of the fittest. The Record
has suspended publication and it's
subscription list, good will and name
have been acquired by the Echo,
Frank A. Hampton, editor and pub
Usher. Mr.. Hampton is a compare
tive newcomer in the field, having
leased the Echo from Mr.. W. R.
kinlaw, but he seems 20 have made
good and met with success. Con-
| tinued good luck to him.
a NORTH Carolina newspaper says
that people live longer in that State
than anywhere else. Undoubtedly
there is a mistake somewhere. Per-
haps it only seems longer.-Boston
Journal
Well, if a North Carolinian had to
spend his time threading the crooked
and intricate maze of lanes which
Boston calls streets and chewing its
beans, he would wish life to pass
quickly-Southern Pines Tourist
Very neatly said. And it comes
from a Northern man, too. But he
does not hail from "The Hub"
THE jury did its duty all right in
convicting man-slayer Allison (he
has three to his credit, if no more) OF
murder in the first degree at Ashe-
vile, but why the trial Judge should
put the date Of his execution off for
six months, has not been explained.
Strikes us as an instance of unneces-
sary delay in carrying out the
mandates of the law in such cases.
