Special Correspondence of the Sentinel
GREENSBORO, Oct 12-Candidates Reid
and Brewer spoke here to-day in joint de
bate. The crowd was large and attentive.
Mr.. Brewer led off in As minutes speech
followed by Mr.. Re id in an hours reply
Mr.. Brewer harped on all the old hobbies
that have been harped on in every Republi-
can speech that has been made in Green's
boro during the campaign. The Revenue,
Pension, and Blair Bill |" questions were
all sawed over and shaken up and were re-
viewed and answered in detail by Mr.. Reid.
These objections have been answered and
reanswered till they are becoming stale, but
the Republicans continue to parade them
before the people at every opportunity. 1t
is about time for the chestnut bell to be
brought to bear on the situation. Both the
speakers had short rejoinder and Mr.
Brewer wound up by saying that when he
came home from Congress two years hence
if he couldn't show d better record than Mr..
Reid had done he didn't want Republicans
to vote for him for any other office, where
upon round of applause arose from the ne
groes and the white men remained discreet
ly silent.
Mr.. Brewer showed tendency several
times towards Deruogogism and personal
manliness and digni6ed composure of his
competitor.
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT.
Our citizens were shocked last Thursday
evening by the report that Dulany Greg

IDENTITY shot and killed himself A colored
man was at work in Rev. MIR. Mann's garden
across the street and seeing partridge run
ming in the garden he called to "Lany" to
bring his rife over and shoot it. ''Lany'
got his gun and went over into Mr.. Mann's
yard and in going into the garden he put
the gun over the fence first. He then
is supposed the trigger struck against some
vines discharging the bullet which entered
the boys heart. He turned and staggered
few steps and fell dead. The sad occur

community. Lany was only about II years
old and was great favorite with his par
ents.
