Carolina a more harmonious Demo
cratic State convention than that which
gathered at Raleigh last Thursday;
mol one which inspired more conf

mocracy Of the ".0ld North State" az
the polls in November. 1t was a rep
resentative gathering Of the unterriied
from the mountains to the sea and
every delegate appeared to have the
good of the party and the interests OF
the people of this commonwealth near
to his heart, for all acted with that
spirit. inspiring in his conduct from

visions of the new state primary law

gatherings of past years, due to the
interest aroused by competition be-
tween aspirants for nominations, and
the same cause affected, to some ex-
tent, the attendance. But it was a

Carranza Men Join villa.
Four hundred Carranzista troops,
part of the command of General Con
zales, the deposed commander of
Juarez mutinied at Villa Ahumada
late Wednesday and joined the Viii
listas operating in that neighborhood
under Tamez and the Quevado broth
crs.
General Gonzales with 500 troops
left Juarez tonight. ostensibly for the
south to operate against Villistas.
Carranza adherents in JuareZ profess
the belief that Gonzales either will be
captured by the Villistas at Villa
Ahumada or will join the Villistas with
his 500 troops. Gonzales is known to
be dissatisfied because he was re-
placed at Juarez by General Murguia' c
brother Jose. As the post of COM
mander at Juarez is one of rich graft
his dissatisfaction is not surprising.
Villa Ahumada now is in full pos
session of Villistas, together with the
Gonzales recruits, a special train of
thirty-five cars and a locomotive.

New York's Old Clock.

st. PauPs chapel, in New York, was
completed IN 1866. but until 1894 it
was without the traditional steeple,
and it was not until four years later
that a clock was installed. The clock,
which still runs, altho in the last few
months it has developed rheumatic
tendencies. which cause it to fail to
keep up with the steady march of
time, bears the inscription, John
Thwaites, ClerkenWell, London, 1873"
a writer in the New York Evening
Post describes a journey to the clock
tower to inspect the ancient time
piece, which is soon to give way to a
modern clock, now being made in BoS-
ton. The sexton is jealous of the dust
which has accumulated for a hundred
years in the steeple, and he will per-
init no light to menace the structure.
1t is built entirely of wood. There are
two bells, the first, a small one, long
ago outlived it's usefulness, but when
the larger one, upon which the hours
and quarters are now struck, was in
stalled, the smaller one was allowed
to remain, a kind of pensioner. In
making the trip to the clock. the sex
ton is careful about the time. for if
the clock struck when the explorer
was in its immediate vicinity he would
be almost deafened by its thunderous
tones in a restricted space. The clock
is wound by raising two weights,
weighing 1 400 pounds each, to the
top of an elghty-foot shaft, from
which position they descend slowly
operating the clock. In former times
the weights were wound directly on a
drum, and the operation cost a great
deal of labor. but now a geared crank
has been installed. and the clock can
be wound in two hours. There is an
unpleasant rasp in the machinery of
the clock. and instead of ticking it
emits a ponderous. rhythmic beat
which has kept up for over 100 years
But the oak timbers in the tower are
as strong as ever, and the new clock
will be bolted to them just as they
stand.-Indianapolis News.

Wars Curious Phases.

fact that the newer weapons, the

highly organized and efficient fact

What is true of France in this re-

exemption in England alone is shown
by the recent announcement that con-
