Charlie Wells came in, looked about the
CITY and returned on the evening train, but
tomorrow he will come to stay. He says
the county is instructed and will vote solid

Miss Lizzie Knowles, OF Deep River, Says
She Wants No "Greases."
DER RIVER Conn, July 2l.-Miss Liz
zic Knowles, OF this place, and the adopted
daughter of Mr.. H. C. Knowles, still con-
tinucs her enforced diet OF fruit and milk
which she commenced abolt six months
ago. Miss Knowles is handsome girl Of
sixteen summers, witty, talented and q
pleasing conversationalst She has resided
in Mr.. Knowles family for nearly FIVE
years, and came there from New York.
She is unable to account for the curious
change in her diet which her condition de-
manded. She used to eat as heartily as any
one. Something like year ago she grew
suddenly i'll, and for time her
life was dcspaired of. When at last
she did improve it was found that It
was with the greatest difficulty that she
could retain the lightest and most delicate
of food. This grew worse, until at last it
seemed that she was in danger of starving
to death At length, early last February,
her physician prescribed diet Of milk and
lime water and baked apples. This agreed
with her, and gradually the lime water was
left out and other sorts of fruits added. The
greatest interest is now expressed IN the
case by neighboring physicians Cases
were common enough where the patient
had lived for year on diet Of bread and
milk, but to exist on fruit and milk alone
was phenomenon never before witnessed
Miss Knowles continues to thrive and gain
flesh upon her new diet. She is now in
good health and no desire to indulge in
"greases' or heavier articles Of food. Her
physicians are pleased with the beneficial
results of her diet after half years trial.

No Delegates In From These Counties

But few ambassadors have yet arrived
from these interior provinces but there is
no lack of information concerning the
status of the delegations soon to arrive.
An independent observer, we'll posted on
the situation, and having some personal
quaintances with the delegates from these
counties, said that Calhoun would be about
equally divided between Wilson and Fanlk-
ncr on the first ballot and after that
would 90 solid for the strongest man. J.
NJ. Hamilton said that Raymond would have
some strength in Calhoun, but Faulkner
would lead Wilson. Roane county will give
a majority for Faulkner over Wilson at first
and then drift on her neighbor above men

and the wealthiest man in Roane, says that
Wilson will get three-ffths Of that county
and Faulkner two-fiths. The feeling in

up by its friends. Otherwise they will let

come by way of Washington, and IN this
manner got here in advance of the fellow
delegates. He told REGISTER reporter he
was fer Faulkner, but his County of Green
brier had instructed for Wilson.
Wilson came down to our town and
made a fiery speech, and the Convention,
coming right on its heels, instructed for
him. There will be about thirteen dele
gates here, and out of them nine are per-
sonally for Faulkner Judge SnJde being
home man. we are for him for renomina-
ton
How does Greenbrier stand on the reas-
sessment question ?
"Reassessment is condemned, from first to
last, the whole business OF it. The State
convention delegated it to the courts and the
court has not decided it. So am in favor
Of letting it drop In case it comes before
the convention in the shape of an endorse
ment of the administration, we will Just
quietly sit down on it and let that end it.
There's no use in fighting over that here.
Now Pocohontas is solid for Faulkner, and
he will get the vote of Monroe, Summers
and Mercer.

For Auditor. we're solid for Cam
Thompson, who is one OF us. We are pretty

Thompson of Cabell AS regards Attorney

knows how we will vote, and for Superin-
tendent Of schools we are for Butcher Nov

Senator Dennis then went on to talk Of
national politics He is vastly pleased
with the ticket and predicts a rousing ma
jority from West Virginia. Of fusion he
has no fear and says a test oath Radical
like Maxwell will never be swallowed by the
Greenbackers of the West End. The genial
Senator is The same hale hearty gentleman,
with whose life winter has been frosty but

the Governorship went south or east he
thought his chances might be good. Hay

physical proportions as he wended his way

After shaking the dust from his ulster he
paused long enough before moistening his
parched tongue to say that the party in
Tucker would present solid front this
year and elect the straightout County DEM

National nominees. W. B. Maxwell, a

panied by his son, also arrived. Editor

FIVE more delegates will arrive before the

Kidd said to a reporter that he was

10 be a candidate, and had really started a
lrst-dass. boom in his behalf but he would
not allow his name TO 60 before the conven-
ton except in a certain contingency, Prof,
Kidd is certainly one of the most popular
and rising Young men in the State, and
has a bright future before him. Informa
ton from the several delegates was to
the effect that Gilmer would be solid
for Faulkner, first, last and all the time. 1t
is unnecessary to say that this delegation is
forninst any assessment endorsement, as
the convention of the county denounced
this administration measure in very strong
terms.
