TIL. H.. l,N1 n,p. bllCANS WAKE In
ARE CIRCULATING MORE FALSE ChARGtS
They Charge that we have Called a Snap Convention
so everybody in County Gould not Hear oi PRIMARY
when in Fact our Friends are In the country.
Col. Harris Issues a Letter Which Contains Many
Untrue Charges.

Wake County affairs and calls atten-
ton to the fact that the boiling ele-
ment were given some representation
in our Congressional Convention
and said we didn't think them so bad
then. They were allowed the same
representation that the Duncan COM
mittee allowed them at Greensboro,
they would never have been seated
there IL we had protested on the
floor of the Convention, but they were
allowed their six votes for harmonys
sake, which was the same case at our
Congressional Convention and We did
not want TO precipitate a fight against
them and though they would help Us
in the campaign. but they didn't, but
on the other hand. knitted us instead.
But even with the six boilers having
representation they could not re-
elect the editor of the Smithfield
Journal Congressional Chairman
again. and that is another sore spot
with Mr.. Stancil.
There will probably be much more
false and abusive literature sent out
in this county to-day and tomorrow.
but l trust our friends will investi-
gate matters before accepting any of
their charges. Where were these men
when we were trying to elect our
ticket two years ago? They certain
ly were not helping u.s.
They have tried to stir up all this
strife and discord in the party, and
have paid little attention to their
abuse and false charges, and / be-
lieve our friends in the county will
repudiate their misleading methods.
Be sure to attend your primary
Saturday and see that you and your
friends get justice and send up your
best men as delegates to the County
Convention.

hour yesterday afternoon an ambu-

the steps and street below the ele-
waited station at Thirty-fourth street
ferry for the tip of a woman's nose,
which had been town off when she
fell down the steps leading from the
station to the street. The search was
unavailing.

Kernersville Hosiery Mill Burned
Nearly $4,000 Loss.

Kernersville, N. c., April 15.-The
American Hosiery Mill, owned by o.
w. and J. G. Kerner, was destroyed
here to-day by fire. The fire origi-
mated on the third floor from some
unknown cause. 1t was discovered

-utes the entire floor was in a blaze.
All of the employees, some sixty in
number, escaped unhurt Something
like twelve or fifteen knitting ma
chimes, worth $3.50 each, were re-
moved from the building. A part of
, tory fell, while all the other walls
are standing they are so swerved
from the intense heat that they are
expected to fall any moment.
The loss will doubtless total $685.
900 or $4,000, with very little insur-
Messrs. Kerner Brothers has just
recently purchased the building from
the estates of j. c. Roberts and J. W.
BeGrd.
A row of six tenant houses situated
near the factory, belonging to DR.. G.

Information as to whether the mill
would be rebuilt could not be gotten
definitely.

situated in the factory building and
managed by Mr.. John X. Kerner.

A dispatch from Eillsboro. y. C..
dated April 18th, says:
"One OF the boldest bank robberies
that has occurred In North Carolina
in many a day was enacted here some
time last night or early this morning
when yeggomen slipped into town:
forced an entrance to the Bank OF
Orange and with nitroglycerine blew
the vault and inner doors and took
from the institution between $4,000
and $1,000 in gold and currency. The
bank vault was swept practically
clean of money, the robbers leaving
behind only a few $40 bills and some
small silver. Bank papers were not
disturbed.
THE first intimation that Hills
boro had been visited during the
night by yeggmen came when the
janitor of the building went to the
bank at $50 o'clock this morning TO
clean up. He found the the door
open and the vault door blown from
its hinges. He promptly notified
Cashier P. c. Collins, who hurried TO
the bank and found that the vault
had been robbed of it's valuables. The
bank carried burglary insurance and
the companies were promptly noti7
fed. An agent is expected here at
once to make an examination, and
until that Is done the exact loss will
not be known, although it is certain
that not less than $4,000 was taken.
There is said to be no clue to the
robbery"

The Standing of Two Men in North
Carolina.
The Lincoln Times. ]

The Lincoln Tines
In the death of Charles B. Aycock,
North Carolina lost a brilliant orator,
a good citizen, successful politician,
and a man of at least some claim to
craftsmanship. Governor Aycock and
Marion Butler, reared near each 9TH
er, were friends and college mates
during their early manhood. No two
men in North Carolina since the days
of Vance have been more popular
with the masses of their respective
parties than Aycock and Butler. Men
followed them because they loved
them because they believed in them
personally. Aycock's death leaves
Butler undoubtedly with the strong
est personal following Of any North
Carolinian.

the Colonial ball room in Fairfield
avenue for a concert and dancing to
follow, and that they have some swell
new music which will be heard in this
city for the first time Monday even

who the Singing McEnellys are, but
if you do not we will say that they
are the members of an orchestra
which has created a furore through
out Connecticut and Massachusetts,,
not only for their playing but also
for their singing. In addition to play
ing for the dances, they also sing, and
there is among the number several
vocalists whose singing is alone worth
the entire pric of admission. Mon
day evening there will be a short con-
cert from to $50 O'Clock, and then
dancing until midnight, the music for
the dancing being both instrumental
and vocal. At their last visit here a
few weeks ago more than 1000 young
people enjoyed the music and the
dancing. Admission at popular prices,
and you are cordially invited to at
