ON SIXTEENTH OF MAY
With No Contests In Sight For
Congress or Solicitor Pri-
mary Was Held as Too Ex-
penSive and Would Not Be a
LegaIized Primary For Dele
gates To Convention

The precinct conventions plan has
been prescribed for the Democracy
of Wake for the election of delegates
to the county convention. Precinct
conventions are to be held on Sat
urday, May 10th, and the county
convention on Saturday, May Esd.
n was the decision reached yes
terGay at a meeting in the courthouse
at one o'clock. Of the Democratic
county committee, which had decid-
ed on a o u hour primary at which
there was no quorum. At the meet
ing yesterday, presided over by Chair
man Percy j. Olive, a uorum was
present, the former action was re-
pealed, and the precinct conventions
plan adopted.
Solicitor Herbert e. Norris, at the
opening of the meeting, stated that
he had called attention to the lack
OF a quorum at the previous meeting
and had asked for a new meeting.
He said that with the outlook Of no
contest as to a congressman or soil
cltor, it seemed q hardship to i'm
pose expenses OF two men of over
$2Oe each, and asked that action be
taken to relieve the situation.
There were proposals for a coun-
ter-maSs convention and finally for
precinct conventions. These on no
ton Of MIR. j. D.. Allen, seconded by
Mr.. J. r. Carter, were directed. The
hour for the precinct conventions in
the county outside of Raleigh town

lar polling places: and in Raleigh
township at eight O'Clock. At night
in meeting places to be selected by
the precinct chairman Where ne
meeting is held the precinct chairmer
are to name delegates to the county
convention. These hours were adopt
ed on q reSolutiO nOffered by Mr.
Charles L. Harris.
Mr.. Harris also offered a resolution
which provided that q request b.
made Of the County Board of Elec
tons to lave the Raleigh township
precinct lines conform to thes Of tn
city SO as to avoid confusion as t,
polling places. This was adopted.

SPONSOR ENTERTAINS SOCIETY.
Miss Lorna Bell Entertains Wake For
est SODhOmOreS.

Miss Lorna Bell, Of Meredith Col
lege, last night rendered a reception
to the sophomore class Of Wake For
est, for which she is sponsor. This
is one in a series Of class ponsO re-
c~eptions which have been held at
Meredith College this year. 1t was a
peculiar feature of the class elections
at Wake Forest that each class should
have elected a sponsor from Meredith
College. The junior and senior re-
ceptions were held at the same time
but it was thought that on account
Of the recognized class feeling the
freshman end sophomore sponsors
should give their receptions at sepa-
rate occasions.
Seventy-iye or more sophomOres
and a few specially invited guests
passed the evening ~charmingly with a
like number of Meredith girls.

among them was the statement of

had returned from Sing Sing prison.
Although neither the Governor nor
Mi. Riley would admit it. the general
impression prevailed around the capt.
tol that Mr.. Riley had been detailed

Gunman Did Not Confess.
Mr.. Riley brought a statement
from Cirofici to the Governor. AS
soon as this became known there
were repeated rumors that one of the
gunner had confessed. These, Mr.
Riley set at rest by asserting that
the statement was only a reiteration
OF Ciroici's allegations concerning
us whereabouts on the night Of the
shooting.
The Governor declined to make
public the contents of the statement
declaring that it was mot worth any
thing
Explaining how he came by the
document, Mr.. Riley said that las

Every man, every woman, every
child has some talent, some power,
some opportunity of getting good
and doing good, Each day offers
some occasion for using this talent
AS we use it, it gradually increases,
improves and becomes native to
the, character AS we neglect it
dwindles, withers and disappears.
This is the stern but benign law by
which we live. This makes charac-
ter real and enduring; this makes
progress possible; this turns men
into angels and virtue in goodness.
