clared the democratic nominee for
solicitor in the Twentieth judicial dis

Chairman Owen Gudger. Owing to his
being postmaster at Asheville he serv-
ed only temporary. John Sneed

The ba11oting continued until 120
ballots had been taken, when the con
vention adjourned at o'clockSaturday
morning until 10 o'clock with but
small changes in the standing of the

differences when complimentary votes
we're cast at times for persons not

The balloting was resumed when
the convention re-oonvened Saturday
morning. The persistent fight con-
tiued until 318 ballots had been taken.

a primary.

have been lost in the confusion but it
resulted, Gudger 15O.72; Harrison Ii,
Merrimon 1177, Moore 1894, Rey-

breeding purposes. Some years ago,
however, this was not believed to be
the case and in 1881 the Sultan of
Turkey endeaYored to preserve for
his dominions the monopoly OF the
mohair trade by prohibiting the ex-
portation of the live animal. His ex-
ample was followed by South Africa,
but It was too late. Some OF the best
blood was already in America and To-
day other countries are buying OF US,
fiocks having been shipped recently to
Brazil and the Argentine.
Various associations have already
been formed for the development or
the industry in this country and the
quantity of the annual product is in
creasing rapidly. In 1913 it is esti-
mated that 100000 pounds of mohair
were grown in the United States.

be sold to neighbors who will want to
try the business after noting your own

worth $1.25 to $1.50, at least.
