Former Mayor s. s. McNinch Being
Mentioned In Connection With the
Republican Nomination for Con-
gress I'm the Tenth Distrfet-Senfi-
ment Favoring Candidacy OF an In
fiuential business Man Particular
~ One Who Would Appeal to the
Independent Element.
Charlotte Observer. ]

The name of Mr.. s. s. McNinch.
former mayor Of Charlotte. and one
OF the States leading business men.
is being quietly but insistently men
toned among the Influential Repub-
1icans for the nomination for Con-
gress by the Republican forces In the
Ninth District next time. No propo-
sition has yet been made Mr.. Nc
Ninch for the very manifest reason
that such an overt act would not be
timely, but the fact remains that In
fiuential Republicans, particularly
those of Charlotte and Mecklenburg
County, are rallying about him in
great fashion. Mr.. McNinch voted
the Republican National ticket in
1908 and previously and is regarded
as one of the leading business men
of the State. 1t is the purpose OF the
Republican leaders to select for i'm
portant Offices, particularly in closely
contested districts, such as the nth
and others. business men OF standing
and influence. especially such as Will
appeal to the support of what is term
ed the independent element. Hence
the suggestion Of Mr.. McNinch' &

State Republican Convention.

There is a very strong sentiment
favoring the bringing of the Repub-
lican State Convention to Charlotte
next July or August. 1t Is certain
that a committee of leading Republi-
cancans will appear before the State
Executive Committee at the proper
time to extend an invitation from the
Queen City. In view of the fact that
the State Democratic convention is to
assemble here, it is very proper that
the State Republican Convention
should meet here also. Such was the
experience of 1908. The Democrats
held their memorable convention in
| the great Auditorium in June and the
Republicans in August. 1t was a
matter of speculation as to the at
tendance of Democrats at that con-
vention. The crowd was variously
estimated from 5000 to 5000. Owing
to rains, the Republican attendance
was small. The crowd was estimat
ed at about 1000. If the>next Repub
lican convention is held here. Their,
: will be a prospective attendance o
Il ,243 delegates and 2.243 alternates
i enough to tax the capacity of tn
d hotels of the city. Two great gath
i ering will be held in Charlotte. |
r the Republican hosts decide to NEE
there.

District Meeting Called.

District Meeting Called.
Mr.. Jake F. Newell, chairman of
the Republican Executive Committee
for the Ninth Congressional District,
issued a call yesterday for meeting
in Charlotte Wednesday, March %,
at 2 o'clock at the court house. The
purpose of this melting as the circu-
lar reads, is for consultation and or
ganization." The letter adds that the
meeting is not for the furtherance
of the cause of any candidate, pres
ent or prospective, but Is simply FOR
the purpose as stated of consultation
and organization" The members OF
the committee are Messrs. J. F. New
ell of Mecklenburg, chairman; John
j. George of CASTOR, George W. De-
Priest Of Cleveland, G. A. Jonas OF
Lincoln, Donald Witherspoon of Ca
tawba, l.. A. Bristol Of Burke, Charles
E. Green of Mitchell, James A. Hyatt
of Yancy and James White of Madi-
son.
Other prominent gentlemen in the
District mentioned for the nomina-
ton along with Mr.. McNinch, are
Messrs. J. Y. Hamrick of Cleveland.

Jenkins of CASTOR, and others. =
1t is hardly believed that Mr..
Yates Killian of Catawba, census
supervisor, will be in the race, as
some had thought probable, as It is
| known that he desires to return to
the next Legislature. He can go to
the House from Catawba or to the
State Senate from the district en-
bracing Catawba and Lincoln coun-
ties.
| Fight In the Ninth,
| From camp rumors circulating it is
evident that the Republicans expect
to make hot fight in the Ninth
District next time. DR.. Warren Vines
Hall, official statistician, points ou1
that President Taft came to Mecklen
burg County at the last election with
a majority over Mr.. Bryan of some
thing like 1898 votes and tina
Bryan's net majority in the entire
district, which Mecklenburg savet
for him and for the Democratic
cause generally, was only SS8, DR.
Hall says that the Ninth Distric
would go Republican by ssomethin,
like 1900 votes II Charlotte, Gas
tonia and Shelby were omitted. Tn
very fact that the district went Re
publican at the last election with tn
; exception of Mecklenburg, he says
gives the Republican leaders goo
grounds for hope that with some sol
of even break of luck, the distric
should send a man to Congress:
> Hence the effort that is being mad
to induce Ex-Mayor McNinch to ruI
1t is thought he could do a gres

NEW YORK TO PHONE LONDON
Great Results Are Expected Fr-m
New Submarine Gable Laid in
English Channel.

acknowledgement communication
between London and New York may
be looked for before long If new
submarine cable recently laid across
the English channel by the British
post Office answers expectations.
The cable. which extends from
Dover to Cape Girls Nez, is the first
of its kind laid in tidal waters. The
tests so far made have given satisfac-
tory results.
The efficiency OF the new cable for
telephone communication has been in
creased more than three times by the
insertion of loading coils in the cable
at intervals of one knot The coils re-
duce the distortion of the current i'm
pulses which correspond to the
spoken sounds. and so render the
speech more distinct
The new cross-channel cable will be
opened for public use between London
and Paris as soon as the French gov.
eminent has completed the connecting
land lines.
The cable has been laid partly for
purposes OF experiment, the object
being TO determine the limits OF pos
sible improvement by the use of the
new type. with a view to its applica-
ton to communication between places
which have hitherto been beyond tele-
phonic range.
The tests made lead TO the belief
that It will revolutionize telepbone
communication between England and
the continent of Europe, and. as i'm.
provements are effected, will bring
spoken communication between Lon.
don and New York within the bounds
of possibility.
At present the only continental
country besides France In telephone
communication with England Is Bel.
GUM, but experiments in conversation
between London and Amsterdam, Ber-
lin and other continental cities are to
be made with the new cable. and In
view of the success Of the tests al
ready made, such extensions OF the
service are confidently expected.

A WOman'S Sphere.

sphere as though it had limit;
There's not place in earth or

There's not a task to mankind
given,
There's not blessing or woe,
There's not a yes or whispered no
There's not life, or death or
birth,
That has g feathers worth,
Without a woman in it.
Women of the world are usually
the queens of the home.
Let this light reflect around this
revolving world; woman's real
work is on character, her surest
weapon is influence.
Every wife should be the mis-
tress of her own home. But the
grandmother and the mother-in-
law should be the most welcome
and most respected of all visitors.
A little kindly courtesy goes a
good way in a busy household; and
if in our home we use the same
politeness we offer our guests we
shall have no ill-ftting company

FAITHFUL HORSE is RETIRED
Roaney Of Bellevue Hospital, New
York, Is Placed on Farm After
Long Service.

New York.-Twenty years of faith
bulance horse have earned Roaney,
the pride of the Bellevue stables,
pension and retirement on a farm in
Long island, where the clover is knee
deep and oats, corn and hay are
served without stint. In the many
years of service in Bellevue, Roaney
has hauled more misery through the
streets Of New York and done more to
alleviate 1t than any horse In this
city.
There has not been a fire or an
accident of importance in the Belle
vue hospital district that Roaney has
not attended. He hauled victims Of
the Hotel Tarrant building, Park Ave-
nue. hotel and the Hotel Royal fires,
end time and again made record runs
in response to appeals for aid. The
hospital statistics show he responded
to thousands of ambulance calls and
never failed in his duty.
Before the old horse started for
his new Long island home the other
day in charge of an agent OF the S.
p. c. A, David Collins, superintendent
Of the Bellevue stables, presented to
him a new halter with his initial
stamped on the straps. Old tom"
Coughlin, the veteran ambulance
driver in the hospital, had tears in
his eyes when Roaney was led away.
Coughlin had taught the old horse
many tricks one was to cross his
less and stand like a corner lounger
Another was to tip his drivers hat in
response to greetings by women.
Roaney not only would remove
Coughlins hat and salute the women
With it, but after the salute. he would
replace it carefully on the head of
his driver and friend.
No enc could insult Roaney and get
away with II. The horse would re-
member the insult for months and re-
taliate at the first opportunity. Among
the stable men he had the reputation
of being able TO kick two ways at
once. He began to fail year ago and
since then has been leading an easy
life In Bellevue.

RED CROSS STAMPS.
YAH Societies Will Continue in
Great National Sale.

Arrangements for the sale of
Red Cross Christmas Seals for 1910
were announced by bulletin issued
by the National Ass &C ia ii O
for the Study and Prevention of
tuberculosis and the American
Red Cross. "A million for Tub
erculosis" will be the slogan of the
1910 campaign.
Two features of the sale this
year are unique and will bring
considerable capital to the tuber-
culosis fighters. The American
! National Red Cross is to issue the
stamps as in former years, but this
organization will work in close CO.
operation with the National AS
ISOLATION for the Study and Pre-
vention of tuberculosis, which
body will share in the proceeds of
the sales. The charge to local as
sociations for the use of the nat
ional stamps has been reduced also
from 20 per cent to 12t per cent,
which will mean at least $4,000
more for tuberculosis work in all
parts of the United States.
The stamps are to be designed
as ''Red Cross Seals" this year
they are to be placed on the back
(of letters instead of on the front.
= The National Conference of Tub
erculosis Secretaries through its
President, Mr.. John A. Kingsbury
of New York has issued a letter
calling upon all state and local
anti-tuberculosis associations o
unite with the National Associat-
Jon for the Study and Prevention
of tuberculosis and the Red Cross
Society in the sale of Christmas
seals and the determination of tn
berculOsis. Every effort will be
made to discourage the use of local
stamps and to encourage the dis
tribution of the national stickers.
1t is expected that over 430 anti
tuberculosis associations and hun
.dred of Red Cross societies n
every state of the Unian will unite
in the sale of Christmas seals.
