The charge is made that in

didates succeeded in buying off
his opponent for the sum of $500.
When 1.-THE modern way of run
ming a campaign is considered
this man should consider him
self lucky that he was able to
get off so cheaply. Of course
his manner of procedure might
not have been the best, and pos
sibly he will be roundly condemn
ed, but his business judgment
was evidently good, and the
greatest evil we see staring
would-be office holders in the

THE Congressional convention
OF the Fifth District re-convened
again Tuesday Of this week and
began the same old thing. How
ever, few Of the delegates were
prepared for another long stay
and the proxy vote for most
counties prevailed, thereby enab-
ling as many as felt they should
70 return home. and many Of
them availed themselves of the
opportunity thus afforded. The
situation did not present o good

not occur.

PROPOSED MEMORIAL 70 BILL NYE.
Committee Appointed BY North Carolina
Press Association Decides That The
Memory Of The Amenled HumorIsi
Shall be Hon0red Ii a Prac-
llcal Manner.

tl10l M0uu6us
The committee appointed at
the recent meeting Of the North
Carolina Press Association to take
in the matter Of a State memorial
to Bill Nye, met in Salisbury,
Wednesday, July 6, in formal
session, and after hearing all the
propositions before it unanimous
ly decided:
/. That the memorial to the
lamented humorist shall take the
form Of a memorial building, to
be one Of the group and part Of
the Stonewall Jackson Training
School, generally known as the
State Reformatory, in Cabarrus
county. near Concord.
?. That the building, furnish
ed and equipped as the trustees
of the institution may direct, to
the best advantage for the rescue
Of Grant boys, shall cost not less
than $4,000, and shall be known
as the "BILL NYE MEMORIAL
BUILDING
5. That the following news
papers be designated to receive
and acknowledge subscriptions to
the fund for this building, said
funds to be transmitted promptly
to the treasurer, JOHN NJ.
JULIAN, EDITOR OF THE
SALISBURY POST.
The Observer, Charlotte.
The Evening Post, Salisbury,
The Citizen, Asheville,
The News and Observer, Raj
eigh,
The News, Greensboro,
The Star, Wilmington,
The Uplift, Concord.
i. That while the committee
believes that this memorial should
be distinctively North Carolina's
tribute to the lamented man OF
letters, it deems il wise, in order
10 insure the prompt success OF
the movement, and further to per-
nit the friends OF Bill Nye out
side the state an opportunity to
contribute to this movement, that
contributions from outside the
state should be gratefully re.
ceiyed and acknowledged, while
not solicited.
The committee believes further
that it made wise and happy
selection in the form of thi!
memorial; that nothing it nigh
iave conceived would hay,
brought greater JOY to the hear
Of the gifted, kindly man who's,
memory il is designed TO perpe
.uate, than the great work 9
making useful citizens Of way
ward boys, and that we're b
present with us in the flesh toda
It would have the stamp Of hi
approval. Furthermore the con
mittee bespeaks the hearty &C
operation of the brethren OF III
press especially, and all goo
citizeus generally in this unde
taking. 1t is labor Of love-
one that has already been too Ion
neglected, 10 the shame Of Mort
