This tremendous increase in

The congressional convention
in Plymouth today completes
the list of conventions with the
exception of the county. But
the nomination of county officers
will give us a few weeks more
of agitation. The. national,
State, judicial and congressional
conventions have done well in
giving us a good ticket, and if
the county does as well, as will

heretofore denounced as social-
treasonable utterly
repugnant to American liberty.
Congress at its recent session and
the convention which nominated
Mr. Taft absolutely refused to
take hold of the proposition to
require publicity of campaign
contributions, but since the
adoption of a plank in the Demo-
platform insisting upon a
strict accounting of such funds,
the Republicans seeing how the
voting public approves of this
feature, Mr. Taft now propose to

promising reforms if the dear
public will continue them in
power. This is an old dodge

was trying to steal his horse or
the animal for a drive
Mr. jumped out of

noise in his movements and in
opening doors, which the
heard, and just as he got
out on the back porch he saw a
man run around the corner of
the kitchen and make off to the
street. The man had a bridle in
his hand which he had taken

Cutting Down Freight Trains.
The Atlantic Coast Line has
cut in half its service in
this section, and beginning with
last Wednesday, 15th, only
weekly freight trail.-, run be-
tween Weldon and Kinston, in
place of the daily that
have heretofore been running.
The A. C. L., is no doubt con-
ducting its business to suit itself,
but this cutting down of freight
trains looks like a suicidal policy,
as it will simply Rive the
to the Norfolk Southern
road at ail the points reached by
that road. We understand that
a reason given for cutting down
the service is that trains a
week can handle the present
business. That may be true for
the immediate present, but we
predict that if such a schedule
holds it will not b six months
before the A. C. L. will find that
one trains week will be sufficient
to carry all the freight it will get
to points reached by ti N. S.

at its meeting held in Raleigh on the
26th day of July. 190-1.
Section At the meeting
held for the purpose of calling a
county convention to nominate
candidates for county offices and
members of the legislature,

committee may, upon motion,
determine the question of

state executive

executive committee of any

That the chairman is

formulate such a plan, and when
approved by the chairman the
said plan shall become a part
of the plan of
Where any county executive
committee has already called a
primary, such county executive
committee may formulate and
promulgate its own s for
such election already ordered.
The plan provided for in this
resolution will not supersede the
present plan except in
counties adopting this
Sec. If before such meet-
is held there shall be present-
ed to the chairman the county
executive a petition in
writing, signed by one-fourth of
the members of such executive
committee, or a petition in writ-
signed by at least one
known democratic voters
of such county, asking a
meeting of the county executive
committee be held for the par-
pose of considering the
of nominating such
dates by primary election, then
it shall be the duty of said chair-
man forthwith to call a meeting
of his county executive commit-
tee within ten days to act upon
the said petition. In any county
where it has been decided by
the majority of the executive
committee to nominate
dates by primary election, shall
be held under the following rules
and
Sec-3. The time of holding
the primary election shall be not
less than thirty days before the
general election, and not less

persons appointed to hold the
same, shall be published in the
democratic press of said county,
and copies posted at every ballot-
place in said, county, and
other notice given as the
county executive committee may
think proper. In such primary
election the county executive
committee shall designate the
places where voting shall be
had. and they shall select, as far
as practicable, the places
ed by law for holding the general
state elections. They may, how-
ever, select other places if the
convenience of democratic voters
justifies such change, but there
shall be at least one voting place
in each township.
Sec. For the purpose of
holding such election, the said
committee shall appoint two
democrats for each
or other voting district in
the county, who shall conduce
such election, receive the ballots,
count them, declare the result
and make a written statement
thereof. If any person appoint-
ed to hold a primary election
shall decline to serve, become in-
or become a

fill such place; and if the chair-
man of the committee shall not
be present, then the remaining
poll-holder person authorized
may designate some to
assist him in holding the same,
and such substitute person
have the same right and author-
therein as it he had been
originally appointed by the
executive committee.
Sec. The said persons
shall provide such boxes for the
reception of ballots as may be
but there shall be
separate boxes for the following
of candidates, to-wit
Candidates for the general as-
shall be voted for in one
box, all county officers shall be

for holding such primary election
shall be as From ten

Provided, that the county
committee may designate
other hours within which said
primary election may be held;

punching a hole in the scalp he
inserts a hair, which is plastered

It's Your Move.
Long years ago the wise old
bard told that is a game
of but it still remains for
the disappointed man of today
to find out for himself that the
trouble with his particular game
is that it Is while
he sits waiting for some one else
to make a play.
When things seem to have
gone wrong generally, and
is quite as it should be; when
the other man gets the pro-
motion; the other man makes
tho wise investment; the other
man, in short, annexes to him-
self tho desired things of life,
the trouble is that you forget
your part in the game while
watching him play his. You've
sat gaping at his brilliant moves,
and stupidly allowed your own
men to get cornered.
Wake up; take a hand; make a
skillful move; get so in earnest,
so absorbed in the old game of
winning, that compel others
to watch you.
