DEMOCRATIC STATE COMMITTEE.
Organization Perfected and State Pri-mary
Law Discussed.
The Democratic state executive com
mittee of North Carolina held a meet-ing
In Raleigh Monday night and re-elected
Mr. A. H. Eller, of Winston-
Salem, chairman by acclamation and
named W. M. Brock, of Anson coun-ty,
secretary in the place of A. J.
Feild, who found it impossible to
serve longer owing to his duties as
private secretary to Governor Kitch-
In.
The attention of the committee was
directed to the condition in the Sixth
congressional district, where both O.
L. Clark, of Bladeu. and H. L. Hod-win,
of Harnett. claim the nomina-tion
for Congress, and after a length;
discussion the committee adopted a
resolution directing the chairman to
appoint a committee of five good
Democrats to investigate the situa-tion.
The committee will decidenrst
as to the jurisdiction of the commit-tee
to take action and then as to
whether there has been a nomination,
who the real nominee is, if any. and
If there is none, then recommend
what course should be taken.
This action was taken after a
lengthy discussion in which the ne-cessity
of some action to unify the
divided forces in the district was es-pecially
emphasized. The chairman
is to announce his committee later.
A. J. Feild offered a resolution de-claring
that in the opinion of the exe-cutive
committe the time has come
when a uniform primary law to all
parties and all state elections should
be enacted and recommended such
legislation for the next general as-sembly.
Action was postponed as to
this until the next meeting of the
committee which will probably be
when called together to hear the re-port
of the special committee on the
Sixth congressional district situation.

A GIANT PASSES.
John G. Carlisle Dies at His Home
in New York.
John G. Carlisle, former secretary
of the treasury, who had been critical-ly
ill for the past two days, died at
his home in New York Sunday night.
An intestinal complaint of long
standing, which wore down his vi-tality,
lay behind the technical (act
of heart failure. He was attacked
last spring by the same trouble, com-plicated
by an ailment of the kidneys,
and for a time hovered near death.
But his remarkable vitality triumph-ed

John Griffin Carlisle was born In
Kanton county, Kentucky, on Sep-tember
5, 1835. He was educated In
the public schools, later studied law
and was admitted to the bar. Al-ways
a consistent Democrat and in-terested
in public affairs as a young
man, he rose from the county politics
to be state senator and finally grad-uated
into national affairs. From
1877 to 1S90 he was a member of the
national house and from 1883 to 1889
was the speaker of the house. He
resigned to fill the unexpired term
of James B. Beck in the United
States senate, from which he again
resigned in 1893 to become secretary
of the treasury under President
Grover Cleveland.
With the retirement from power of
the Democratic party in 1897 he with-drew
from politics and took up the
practice of law in New York city.
