WINSTON, Aug. 22 Yesterday a Dnm-
Der OF our legal brethren returned from
ourry court, and they bear the glad It'd
lngs that Barber literally wore Settle out
in the joint discussion there. These two
nominees for the Solicitorshio are doing
some hard fighting. By many it was
thought 1T would be a difficult matter
Tor the Democrats OF this district to find
man that could beat Settle on the
stump. One OF our most prominent
lawyers who attended the above named
court and heard the discussion between
the two candidates declare that Barber
fairly "bamboozledn Settle, and the peo-
pie yelled and cheered himon The Dem
ocratic goose iung high and "Baldy"
Williams was there to help Barber Jerk
him higher. The old Seventh Judicial
and rlfth Congressional districts are all
right. Let the ball roll on!

Additional particulars were learned
to day concerning the recent Serious cut
tirG affair which happened in a church
IN Davie county last Sunday. The two
men who fought had ,whiskey in them,
and they began fussing over a horse
race which took place on court week at
Mocksville last fall. Doutht cut Smith

skipped the county He passed through

but there being no telegraph lines con-
Meeting Mocksviile and Winston, the
police were not notified IN time to capture
him.
The first regular scheduled passenger
train left here for Madison this morning
at seven O'Clock. The depot at the latter
place is now finished and is exceedingly
tasty. The iron horse keeps pushing its
way on toward the Virginia line which
it is expected to reach by October 10Th.
