A Typical Democratic Convention.

The Democrats in Robson County
have been having some warm times,
and the cOsnty convention on the
IND inst, must have been something
herce. The Robesonian says of it:
If there has ever been a more
shameful, more disgraceful conven-
ton held in North Carolina than the
Democratic County Convention held
IN LumbertOn Saturday, it was back
IN the days before the disfranchise-
ment Of the negro, and was a Radi-
cal convention at that. We are sorry
10 say it, but it is just the simple
truth that it was a disgrace to the
county and to the Democratic party.
HoWIiug, Kissing and hOoting was
the order, and in this county, which
boasts OF its prohibition sentiment,
hGuor WAS very much in evidence. 1t
was sad spectacle for those who
oeteye that fairness, decency and
order should prevail at such conven-
tons"

Young Man Accused of Blackmail.

Thomas Johns, well-known
young man of this city, was arrested
and bound over to court, charged
with blackmail. It appears that Mrs.

Internationally opened a letter be-
longing to him. He thereupon wrote
her and demanded $500. This she
could not pay but finally agreed to
pay $3.50 if not prosecuted. She sent
the letter with the money and the

PRoCLAIMS "FLAG DAY.
Gov. Davidson Issues Annual Procla-
nation Asking Observance of Day


nation Asking Observance of Day
Gov. Davidson today issued the fol
lowing proclamation:
In conformity with the established
custom, /, James O. Davidson, COVER
nor of the state Of Wisconsin, desig-
nate Tuesday, June>1 II, 1910, as Flag
day.
Nations are rich when their history
records events which inspire love Of
country as these events mark the vir-
tuous purpose Of people, the great
acts of distinguished men or the I'M
surpassed devotion Of lofty characters.
This furnishes examples to guide in
right paths, the youth who will lead
in the progress OF the future.
1t is with special pleasure that l re-
mind our people that June IA, 1910,
will be the 133d anniversary of the
adoption Of the Stars and Stripes as
the flag Of the United States.
The flag reminds us of all the suf-
fering, all the thought and all the
hopes of the Revolutionary fathers. 1t
watts in every breeze, the Declaration
of independence. Through it the con
stitution and Civil war proclaimed ma
tionalism. 1t means freedom. Its
very colors are symbolical of high
character.
Washington and Jefferson and Lin
coin pour out perpetual benedictions
and inspirations through its bpauti-
full folds
/ recommend that the story of the
making Of the first flag be told to the
school children and that its meaning
be brought home to others by unfurl-
ing it generally on that day through
out the state.
