And then that greatest living c4rl-

most wonderful of all the chameleon

that in richness exceed any and every

fassidnately vociferating In the 'Radi-
cal Senate too !? And then; too, he
said nothing about the Neuse river to
within i've miles of = Raleigh and
nothir,g about the Cape Fear and Deep
rivers to the Aamance line ! But why
stop at the Alamance line? Was it be-
cause%Alamance is not in that District?
Why stop within FIVE miles of Raleigh,
why notgo clear through the town :?
