Will Be Held June 25—The Convention a
Week Late-.—Some Political "Dope."
At a meeting of the Guilford county
Democratic executive committee Satur-day
it was decided to hold the precinct
primaries for the nomination of county,
district ami state officers on Saturday.
June 25, and the county convention on
the following Saturday. July 2. In the
case of any candidate or candidates fall-ing
t" receive a majority of the votes
cast in the first primaries, second pri-maries:
will lie held on Thursday. June
30. The dates are those designated by
the stale committee for voting on candi
dates for district and state offices.
The meeting of the committee nu
held in the court house and was called
to order by the chairman, Mr. Charles
A. Mines, at 1! o'clock in the forenoon.
Seventeen of llip "27 precincts were rep-resented
either in person or In proxy, the
members of the committee present be-ing:
Messrs. Robert I .rocket t and S. L.
Davis, of High Point; Prof. T. K. Whit-iikcr.
of Oak Ridge; M. G. Bcvill, of
Brown Summit, representing North Mon-roe;
Robert Gilclirist.of Brown Summit,
representing South Monroe) T. J. Mur-phy,
of Greensboro, represent inn pre-cinct
NIL I; C. C. McLean, of Greensboro,
representing precinct Xo. '2; E, J. Staf-
, ford, of (.iicii-hoto. representing pre-cinct
No. 4; I.. K. Howerton, of McLeans-ville,
representing South Madison; R. C
[Short, of Greensboro 1>. F. I). 1. repre-senting
Simmer; C. T. Weatherly. of
Pleasant Garden, representing Fen-tress;
T. It. Dillard, of Greensboro, 1!.
I-'. I). .">. representing Center Grave, and
K. A. Guver, of Jamestown. Several
el her gentlemen were present with
proxies representing absent members <>i
the committees.
The liist mailer to come before the
meeting after the secretary had read
the official call was the question as to
whether one or two primaries should be
held one for county and another lor
district and slate offices. Mr. C. T.
Weatherly. chairman of the Fentrcss
township committee, stated that the
people of his town-hip were not in ac-cord
with the legalized primary idea
and desired to know if it was obliga-tory
to hold the primary. This expres-sion
was the signal for two or three
warm "speeches in support of the primary
ides. Mr. A W. Cookc, of this city, who
held the prosy of an absent member,
and Mr. S. I.. Davis, of High Point, de-fended
the legalized primary in enthosi-led
..ii.l formerly superintendent of the
Greensboro graded schools. It appears
that nobody is especially anxious to oc-cupy
this responsible and exacting posi-tion.
•■Guilford county's only other avowed
candidate for the house of representa-tives
is Sir. Thomas J. Gold, a success-ful
young lawyer of High Point. Mr.
Gold is a young man of pleasing address
and popularity, and if the High Point
Democrats unite on him as their candi-date,
doubtless the members of the party
in Greensboro and the country precincts
will he glail to give him the nomina-tion.
"The only candidate for the state sen-ate
is Mr. Thomas ■!. Murphy, of (ircens-boro,
at present a member of the house
of representatives. Mr. Murphv 'made
good* in the last session of the legisla-ture,
and the indications at present ar.-'
that lie will have little or no trouble
in returning to Raleigh as a membej of
the senate. He has served as mayor of
Greensboro and previous to becoming a
member of the house of representatives
was reading clerk in the senate.
"Beyond the contest for raunty office*,
there* is little interest in politics in
Guilford. The contests for nominations
for clerk of the Superior court. snerilT
and register of deeds promise to he in-teresting.
"Tile candidates for clerk of the court
are: Dr. .1. II. Cordon, who has repre-sented
Guilford in the legislature for
several terms and who :s the author of
the hill putting the county othcers on
a salary basis; Mr. -lames \V. Forms.
who at one time represented the count;
in the legislature and later served as
posimaster of Greensboro, and Mr. W.
P. Ileall. Jr.. deputy clerk of the Supe-rior
court.
"Opposing Sheriff B. K. .tones for a re-nomination
are: Messrs. John W. \VTiar-t-.
n. Ir.. of Center Grove township, and
David H. Stafford, of Oak l'idge. Sheriff
Jones has held the oflh-e for two terms
and is asking for the third on the ground
of meritorious, service, Messrs. Wharton
anil Stafford are basing their claims on
the theory that rotation in office is best
for the party.

INTER-COLLEGIATE DEBATE.
[lerk of the court, expressed their wil-lingness
to abide by the decision of the
committee. The committee voted unani-mously
to settle all nominations in the
primaries.
The primaries will be governed by lh-'
same rules that were in force two years
ago.
Mr. Charles A. llines. who has served
as chairman of the committee for the
past two years, tendered his resignation
giving as a reason the fact that he had
practically decided to offer himself as
a candidate for the legislature. There
Were ninny expressions of regret that
Mr. Hines'had determined to relinquish
the chairmanship, and upon the request
of the committee he agreed to continue
to serve as chairman until his succes-sor
micht lie elected. The committee
will meet in this city on Saturday, April
1(1, to elect a chairman.
Convention's Voting Strength.
According to tile party plan of or-ganisation
and the vote in the last guber-natorial
election, the Onilford countv
Democratic convention this year will
have a total of 158 votes, of which 79
and a fraction will be necessary to a
nomination. It is of interest to note
that the four precincts in Greensboro
and thi- two precincts in High Point
will cast SI of the 158 votes, and this
means that anv catvle'ite who i-M\ carry
these two towns is "elected."

Spends Five Days in Guilford Jail
and Pays Fine of $500.
Baxter Shemwell, who has been
so much in the public eye recently,
this morning at 10 o'clock finished
serving a sentence of five days in
the Guilford county jail, his sentence
of five months imposed by Judge
Long for assaulting a-Southern Rail-
Way conductor on a fast train hav-ing
been commuted by Governor
Kitchin to five days imprisonment
and a fine of $300. Previously the
governor had granted Shemwell a
reprieve until April 1. This action
was taken during the December term s> work and some people consider
of Guilford Superior court, when it
was represented to Governor Kitch-in
that Shemwell was in a sanitarium
in Hot Springs, Ark., receiving treat-ment
for rheumatism.
Shemwell reached Greensboro from
Lexington on northbound train No. |
44 Friday morning and went imme- :
diately to the court house. After pay- j
ling into the clerk's office the gov- j
err.or's fine of $">00 and the accum- j
ulated costs of $120.70, he stepped
across the hall to the sheriff's office
and announced that he was ready to
go to jail. By 10 o'clock he was with- i
in prison walls, subject to the regu- I
lations by which all other jail pris-oners
in this county are governed.
While he has been subject to the
rules governing other prisoners,
Shemwell has been permitted to have
his meals sent to him from the out-aide,
but this is a privilege that may 1
be enjoyed by any prisoner with the
price. He has given the officials no
trouble whatever.
The Governor's Reasons.
Application for the commutation of
the sentence was bused on the groun
of Shemwell's physical condition. In
the course of a lengthy statement
giving his reasons for commuting the
original sentence Governor KiU'hin
said:
"The solicitor protests against com-mutation
unless Sheiuwe'.ls physical
condition is such the sentsnee will
be cruel punishment, or seriously
impair his health, and thinks from
his observation that Shemwell's
troubles are due to extreme nervous-ness.
IZ
"The trial judge says there was no | *
evidence before -him of any physical J
trouble and he prefers to let the gov-ernor
pass upon it without suggestion
from him. Dr. Edmund Harrison, for-merly
superintendent of health for
Guilford county, after two examina-tions,
found Shemwell's heart action
extremely bad, his nervous system I North Carolina. The five days in
in worse condition than his heart, | ja.ii is doubtless intended by the gov-with
inability to control his feelings, j ernor to blunt the criticism he ex-general
evidence of present or threat--) petted, but so far as practical results
ened neurasthenia, and of past at-1 are concerned, the Imprisonment
tacks of rheumatism, and thinks | might just as well have been left
close confinement would seriously im- j off. If Shemwell can serve five days,
peril his health and mind. j he can serve longer. The fact is
"Dr. John Whitehead, of Salisbury, | that this man has shown himself to
found Shemwell in a neuras:henlc 1 be above the law. He has in the
condition and believes confinement pa8t ,ione pretty much as he pleased
will be very detrimental/ to his health, and escaped the consequences. The

Some* Political "Dope."
As bearing upon the political gossip
of the day in this community, the fol-lowing
is taken from the Greensboro
correspondence of the Charlotte Obser-ver:
"Mr. Charles A. Hines. a bright young
member of the flreensbnro bar. who has
served with entire satisfaction as chair-man
of the Guilford countv Democratic
executive committee for the past two
yean, has tendered his resignation in
order to gratify an ambition to become
a candidate for the legislature. On ac-count
of the fact thnt he has not
reached the constitutional aae. 25 years.
Mr. Hines cannot be elected to the sen-ate
and will content himself for the
present with a seat in the lower house.
"The eexrutive committee will meet in
Greensboro on Saturday. April 1«. to
elect a successor to Mr. Hines. Among
the gentlemen mentioned for this posi-tion
are: Messrs. R. M. Rees. who stead-fastly
refuses to yield to the importuni-ties
of his friends to become a candidate
for sheriff; Mr. L. J. Brandt, a former
How I Did It.
Having been asked by several of
my friends what grade of fertilizer
I used to produce the prize crop of
cotton given by the Townsend Buggy
Company. I beg to inform my friends
tnat this was grown with Farmer's
Bone fertilizer, made by the F. S.
Royster Guano Company and sold by
the Townsend Buggy Company. The
yield averaged $72.50 per acre. Be-sides
this, I received a prize of $60.
Can any of you beat this? I recom-mend
and expect to use Farmer's
Bone this year.
Yours very truly.
