John A. Anglers opponent for the Legis-
lature comes in the shape of negro school
teacher. T. C. Oakley will also be an indie
pendent candidate, but with little,hopes of de-

Republican is the negro. S. T. Morgan; of
Durham, was nominated for State Senator,

ties at the Democratic convention held at
Prospect Hill, Last Saturday, J. w. Allen,
Of Caswell was also nominated.
Jno. Nichols has as at last declared HIM
self an Independent Candidate for Congress
from this Congressional District. The peo-
pie still remember how Mr.. Nichols, when |
Postmaster at Raleigh, turned out compe-
tent white clerks and put in negros. He
had right to do SO, but the blood of true
| Anglo Saxon, boils at tn. idea.
| The Third Party is gaining ground. The
club at this place numbers over a hundred
and accessions made at nearly every one
of its Friday night meetings. Our papers
are becoming scared, and bitterly denounce
