Williams, chairman of the Democratic executive committee State chairman II. says that the nine Congressional dis- of this Stale will elect two gates each to the National Convention in such manner as will seem best in each district. The Executive commit- tee of district can call a to meet within the district at any date prior to the meeting of the Na- 7th, for the sole purpose of electing delegates alter- to that convention, or for the purpose nominating candidates for Congress and Presidential electors, or as is done when it i- thought best to have a later nomination can- The district committee can call a convention to meet iii at the time of the meeting of the State convention and this convention can elect delegates. When the course is followed the counties have us- their delegates and to the convention lo also act as delegates to the This was the course followed by the Fourth district in The Boy Smoker. One of the most pernicious evils the present is the habit of cigarette smoking by boys. urchins regard it as a exercise to revel in this offensive habit and nothing is more common at the present day than to see a boy in breeches completely enveloped a cloud of smoke which has issued from his own lips. who are barely old to leave the nursery and who have never seen the inside of a text- book often acquire this habit. In the fascination which cigarette smoking has the young lies the its most destructive power. Last week a young man only years of age died in the city of New- York, the victim of excessive cigarette smoking. It was ascertained that for Several years lie had averaged as many as cigarettes u day. lie began by smoking only two or three a week, but moderation soon yielded lo excess and the habit grew until it reached a termination. Aside from this fault there was nothing lo mar the of the young man, who stood well in society and was an active member of the Young Christian There i a salutatory lesson in story of a blighted life and one which should lie impressed upon the youth of the land. If grown up men to smoke it is enough. There should be no restriction upon that privilege. Hut something should bi done to cheek this growing evil among the boys of America. COUNTY CONVENTION.

Democratic Contention of Pitt The convention of the Democratic party which assembled in the Court House on the 20th in every way a representative body of men. It was composed of intelligent, earnest, sincere, good men whose opinions and declarations arc entitled to be respect- fully considered by even those who may chance to differ with them. They came to town, assembled and transacted the business of the convention without any bustle or hut with a quiet determination which showed they knew what they came for and that they meant to do it. Many of the township meet- which sent them had declared for silver, and those that did not sent solid free silver delegations so that the convention was one on absorbing question. The declarations made by the con- as will be teen by reading them, deal mainly with the money They set forth, in the Hist place, the position of the party on the coinage and use of both gold and silver as standard or redemption money from its organization the beginning of this century till the days of those who have betrayed its trusts since 1802. from to Cleveland no man in his sense would have thought of calling the Democratic party a gold standard its every declaration, act or vote on that question would have given the lie to the charge. The declaration of the convention frankly admits that since 1892 certain persons high In the councils of the par- have been trying to lead the party the camp, but these arc denounced and nil Democrats are called upon to rise up in against them. If we mistake not the temper of the people, this call issuing from the people of on the 20th of May, will meet a hearty response not only out North Carolina but in all the Slates of the South and great West, and that at Chicago the decree will go forth that the men who tailed to fulfill the pledges made in 1894 for the use of both gold and silver as standard money shall no longer be the tenders of the embattled hosts of the Democracy of Jefferson and Jackson. The conventions in declarations the fact that It was the Republican party that the gold into the financial system of the Tinted Slate and then in sharp, bold contrast it calls attention to the change in the condition of the country and the people under the American Democratic Bimetallic standard and the Anglo-Republican gold standard. Under the former the country was prosperous and the people were happy contented while under the the reverse The the convention were temperate in language the men ho made them were quiet in demean- or, but there was a determination about them that means they are not going to tolerate any dodging or on this great question, and if we are to judge from the men who were in that we caution our representatives and leaders to be open and honest with the people if they hope to command their support. The convention did not fail to speak in befitting terms of the recent Republican convention and its a white man who loves his State who does not shudder at the thought of Russell becoming its Governor Is there a self-respecting colored man who can vote for him and then return to his wife and children whom he de- as Have the colored people no gratitude or man- hood We would be loath to believe it. and yet what must they think of themselves and what must they expect other people to think of them if they vote for Russell And just here it may not be to call the attention of the colored people to the conduct of a certain member of the Democratic convention of Wednesday and the of the Republican convention of last week towards them. While Russell was denouncing the col- as and savages, Jar vis was trying to educate and elevate them. Russell praises them when he wants their votes and denounces them when he has no use for them. Jarvis, no matter whether in public or private seeks and labors at all time to bet- their condition to fit them for the higher duties of life. Will the whole race turn who have tried to educate and elevate them and in a body vote to elect a man to rule over them who tried to degrade and debase them by calling them and savages We shall not it. We think better of the race. But the white people must not rely upon the detection of the colored people to defeat the election of this bold, bitter, bad man. It must be manifest to every one that he s utterly unfit to be the Governor of the State. Who can tell what scenes of strife and bitterness might not be stirred up his revengeful leadership. The man who could denounce an and an race as and savages cannot be expected to be just or temperate in anything when his pas- are aroused. It then becomes the duty of the law abiding, peace people of both races to forget, in the presence of this threatened danger, their differences on other questions and to unite to elect some man Governor who will seek to promote the prosperity of the State and the uplifting of all the people, and who will not seek to de- grade or any. No National legislation can bring prosperity and to our homes if our State, and city governments shall pass into the hands of vindictive, men.

Formerly the volcano, as from Naples, had a rounded top, but now it comes to a wedge point. A year ago visitors looked into the hollow of the old somewhat pooled off crater. Of late they have gone inside the boundaries of the old crater to get a good look at the new cone, from the summit of which, at intervals of a few minutes, there is a gust of steam, laden with red hot ashes, which sent into the air feet or Before the steam has drifted away there is an- other rumble, a sound of watery ex- and another shower of ashes.

A new vent will have to be made, and in the making of this vent there will lie a fierce eruption, an overflow of lava and the formation of a new crater. There was, indeed, a be- lief that tho and growing activity of the volcano would lead to some sort of eruption, but it was hoped that it would nothing more serious than a flow of lava down over the old and hardened beds.
