The Candidacy of Carpenter.


The Democrats of the Senate have de-
cided to continue their warfare against
Samuel j. Carpenter, in case he is reelected
to his seat from Decatur and Shelby coun-
ties. One of them is authority for the
statement that the majority will unseat
him again, in case he is reelected, on the
ground that his reelection will not purge
him of the charge of bribery, upon which
he was unjustly deprived of his seat The
claim will be set up that bribery disqual-
ifies Senator from holding Office for the
term for which he was elected, and it will
be argued that the term for which Mr..
Carpenter was chosen embraces the Forty
sixth and Forty-seventh sessions of the
Senate. Several Democratic Senators were
questioned. yesterday, about the matter
but they declined to say what course
would be pursued. There are
reasons to believe that Governor Gray
is behind the scheme to unseat Carpenter
twice on one trumped-up charge. He is ex-
ercising all his political influence to capture
the Senator from the now un-
represented counties. and those who
are acquainted with his methods know
he would not hesitate to urge the
course, with reference to Carpenter, that has
undoubtedly been agreed upon. At caucus
of the Republican Senators held last night,
Mr.. Carpenters candidacy for reelection
was warmly indorsed. Mr. Carpenter was
present, as were quite number Of leading
Shelby county Republicans. A resolution
was passed expressing the highest conf
dence in him, and commanding the senti-
ments of the senatorial district in making
him the candidate of the party again.

Stokes has gone wet and it is still
raining.
Two weeks since the crop prospects
in Stokes were never better but to-
day farmers will be glad of half a
crop of corn and tobacco.
The probability now is that there
will be some heavy transactions in
real estate, both mineral and timber
farming lands in this county at an
early day.

taken out by Drs. J. W. Neal and w.

There is no doubt from the best in

it was as if some great river had been
carried into the clouds and turned
loose amid a continuous wave OF
electricity and roar of thunder.

THE NATIONAL GAME.

Winston Downs Danville and Scares all
the Other Clubs.
On Friday last very closely con-
tested game of baseball was played
between Winston and Danville, result
ting i'm for Winston and for DAN
vile. On Saturday another interest
ing game was played, resulting in 6
for Danville and 13 for Winston. Mr..
Thomas Boyd, of Greensboro, was
umpire in both games. Our boys
did the handsome thing by the MEM
bers of the Winston club on Satur-
day evening after their victory over
the Danville team. They made pres
ents as follows: To Hart and La
nier each a gOld-headed cane; to
Meredith and Meredith and Lanier
each a box of 500 cigarettes; to
Jones IS: to Crossett and Overton
$40 and a box of cigars each.
And this is the club that, after be-
ing licked by us once before, told us
to "put up or shut up" Well, we
put up; now will you "shut up?"
There were many amusing Incidents

even their coats on the results.

Henry Higgins said he was too
hoarse to hollow; but it didn't
make any difference; he didn't need
his voice. Henry was for Danville-
and we don't blame him.
RALEIGH CAN'T COME JUST NOW.
We had hoped that Raleigh could
have played Winston at an early
date, but Mr.. r. L. Crawford tells us
a letter from the manager of that
team informs him that such is not
likely to be the case for the reason
that the catcher and first baseman
are i'll with fever at present, which
factrenders it impracticable just now.
But we hope and expect co see them
here later. A cleverer set of boys
never lived, and they play good ball.
The associate editor of this paper be-
longed to the team of which Adams
and Separk and Hanes still form a
part, some years ago, and the latch
string hangs out, fellows, when you
do come. But if you don't be "kee-e-r-

BASEBALL NOTES.
If the Danville baseball team should
beat the Winston, r. L. Crawford was
to roll J. T. Bush twice around
the courthouse square in a wheel
barrow, and vice versa if Winston
came out victorious. At present Mr.
Bush is in the South, but on his re-
turn home all will be notified and are
invited to the rolling, as Mr.. Craw-
ford claims the bet and is going to
have a fair ride.

very kind letter from the manager of
the Danville team expressing appre-
citation of the treatment (between
games, mind you'll received at the
hands of our boys.

An Amusing Incident.

We overheard a most amusing
conversation" which mainly con-
sisted of "eh?" between two excellent
old ladies who seldom meet, and
when they do they try to talk each
other to death and come very near
succeeding in doing it each time
Mrs. B., who is seventy odd-known
and beloved by hundreds of Winston
ians-lives here. She can hear toler-
ably we'll for enc of her age-especi-
ally when she wants to! But she has
feeble voice and can't talk very
loud because she talks so much lin q
harmless way, mind you).
Mrs. Swell, she lives "abOut."
She's been most everywhere. Been
to Europe. Well she can't actually
hear the first thing! She is unques-
tionably the deafest old lady land
she amt SO very old, either) we ever
saw-unless she plays 'possum. And
We don't believe she does, for she's a
preachers wife!
Well, these two most excellent old
ladies were thrown together last night
wednesday, at the residence of one
Ofour popular physicians, where there
were no other ladies present.
And they attempted to converse !"
They actually did.
The weak-vOiced old lady would
take strong hold on her lungs and
ask in her firmest tones something
about how things were around New
Garden.
Well, young person of very good
hearing might manage to distinguish
what she said. But the idea of ad-
dressing that other old lady in that
tone of voice.
OF course it had no more effect upon
her understanding than would the
shooting of green peas against the
Rock of Gibraltar, physically, and
she would attempt to reply to the
visible workings of the lips of the
other old lady, by announcing some
thing not at all germane to the sub
ject.
Well, fellow citizens, they kept that
thing up for two mortal hours, and
to-day the plasterers are engaged in
making repairs about the cracks in
the ceiling of the room they occupied.
