Special Correspondence Of the Chronicle.
GREENSBORO, n. c., November 90
Our Republicans don't want Mr.. DOckery
again. He has run too many losing races.
Besides, the revenue men will have the
thing their own way next time. MIR.
keogh, one of the best politicians in the
State, has never been spoken Of as the
candidate, but he would be the best card
beyond doubt. Mr.. Winston has aspira-
tions. and there is notion here that he
may have managed things so as to have
some of the Eastern counties and men in
his favor. Although his ambition has been
regarded as Joke, there are some OF the
bosses who are beg ining to regard it seri-
ously. They welcomed him into the party,
and now they have him on their hands.
What are they going to do with him.

In Raleigh.

Nobody here believes that DR.. Grissom
would accept the nomination. and nobody
can be found who thinks Mr.. Devereux's
nomination absolutely necessary for the
party's salvation. 1t is hardly probable,
therefore, that the candidate for slaughter
and for Federal office, in case the Admin
istration remain Republican, will be
Raleigh man. Major William Smith, of
Johnston-what of him:
But the truth is, no persistence OF in
quiry can arouse the least interest in this
subject about the capital. Alter all, is it
even worth talking about:

Verbatim from the Curthage Guzett

The poor bones Of old cows, with rafting
bells, hollow horn and tail, ragged and in
ferior raw hides wroped around poverty
stricken frames, are now the great pest and
nuisance of the streets of Carthage The
owners OF good many of these cattle GER
tainly have no shame or they would not
let them run out where they can be seen
by any merciful persons. People need not
call themselves Christians and be guilty Of
such brutal treatment as keeping brutes
and not feeding them enough to keep the
hornes, hide and tail on the same COW.

In addition to being one Of the best farm
ers, Mr.. John Fl. Cornelius, OF Concord
township. is the most successful grape
grower in the county. For about five
years he has been growing grapes and
making wine. He has now on hand about
900 gallons Of wine of last years vintage,
which stands him in hand go cents per gal
lon by the barrel, or say $500 His vine
yard occupies six or eight acres OF the
poorest land On the farm, and in it he cul-
tivates cotton, the cotton and grape vine
rows alternating. so that the cotton fertil-
izer answers also for the grape vines.

Some uuprincipled scoundrel stole the
registration books of Pactolus township
Monday evening, and there was no cleo
ton held there in consequence. We hope
the guilty party will be found out and
severely punished. No blame is attached
to the registrar for the loss of the books.

What Railroads Do.
From the Ne1CtOu EnterDrise

The building OF the Western North Car
olina Railroad into Haywood has wrought
a great revolution in thai section of the
State. People who had no market at all,
and who had no ambition to sell farm pro-
duce more than sufficient to pay their an
nual tax and keep a few dollars slowed
away in the red chest as a keepsake, are
now getting rich, selling their lumber, cat
tie, potatoes and apples, and by the mar
velous advance in the value of lands.
