worthier men and THE SENTINEL

lead the Democratic party to victory
next time.

Several times within the last week
good, substantial farmers from Stokes
and Surry counties have called in THE
SENTINEL office and when asked whom
they favored for Congress answered,
almost without variation, Buxton is
the man, and if you Forsyth people
carry his name before the Convention
we are for him, against the world"
So may it be, let the good work go on.
A correspondent writing to the Ne,Us
and Observer from Henderson says ::
81 thought a few days ago that I would
make canvass OF the town and at the
warehouses where could be found that
day many farmers from Nash, Frank
lin, Warren, Granville, and Vance
counties. With pencil and paper,
went to the four warehouses, and asked
each farmer [ met whom he favored
AOA Jul hCAI OONCAhOi. l. was
ed at the answer l received, OF rather,
surprised that so many should centre
upon. any one man. They were
nearly all tor Hon. D. G. Fowle
Yes, | can safely say say 10 out of 20
were for Fowle."
opier Whitaker, Esq, of Raleigh,
in letter to the Roanoke Ne1os,
declining 60 be candidate tor the
Supreme Court bench,g says i Ere
long, when the Republican party of
North Carolina is dead and we have
met to perform the last sad rites for
the departed, may be considered su.-
ficiently clerical to preach its funeral
Amen
There are some people ignorant
enough to believe that Sid B. Alexan-
der is the originator Of the fence law
in our State. We.do not see how such
a report could have gained currency
Was it the inexcusable work of gubern-
ational aspirants who are fearful he'll
be formidable competitor p Charlotte
Chronicle.
