with them about the Sampsonians.
The political cauldron is beginning to
boil, and the devotees of aspirants, are
speaking out. Sampson is all a stir for her
favorite son, the Hon. A. A. Mckoy, for
Congress. No more worthy man lives than
he, and no one would fill the place better.

Of Louisburg in Franklin county. Nestled,
as it is, in the midst of its native oaks and
shades, upon a high undulating plateau, it is
one of the prettiest little own in the State,
and my stay there was only broken off by the
pressing demand for my Engines and other
Machinery. They hurriedly took LIE through
that county, and from thence through " AXE,
Johnston, Harnett, Cumberland and now
