WASHINGTON, OCT. N.-The Indian bureau
has received from Agent Mclaughlin. ol

upon the prospective outbreak among the
Sioux in consequences Of the promised COM

part: II do not wish to be understood al

of the Indians, which is looked for not later
than next spring." He repeats in detail the
stories which have been told the Indians by
medicine men and adds: ''Sitting Bull ID

The woman is now located Just outside

The report received from correspond

letin, iss, ali, 20 b Carolina Ex-
pertinent e1mo ap6a o6a Weather
Service cooperating with the 'ta "a.
States Signal Service, show that the
temperature and sunshine during the
week ending October 11tb, 1889, have
been in excess, and the rainfa defici-
ent; conditions altogether more favor
able than those which have existed for
several weeks. Light rain occurred on
one or two days, the remainder of the
week being bright and clear. Almost
all the farmers time has been devoted
to cotton picking and gathering IN corn,
which is fully matured. Tobacco has
all been cured. 1t is probable that the
damage caused by the wet weather of
preceding weeks will not be quite so
serious as anticipated. The seeding OF
wheat and oats is progressing slowly.
Light rain will occur during the earlier
portion of next week, to be followed by
fair. colder weather.
The past season on the Whole has been
an unusully favorable one, and the crops
| of cotton, tobacco, corn and rice raised
in this State are ali fully up to, even
above the average for many years.

THE COUNTY CANVASS.
How Some Republicans Were clam
basted" During the Week.

The county candidates spoke every
day during the past week. The weather
has been fine and large crowds have met
the candidates.
Buck Jones has been fattening out old
"Sorry Pickup" Meacham, and he is now
so fiat that he offers no resistance when
any thing rolls over him. He'll be cov-
cred up next month.
Mr.. Ed Pou, Jr., has knocked Gem
Argo completely out. He won't appear
in the campaign any more
At Robertsons Store Gen" Argo dis
carded all issues and argument, and
played the pleading dodge. He com
pared Mr.. Pou to yonng colt, and told
the people that he (Argo) was the old
''war horse" and was therefore the best
bargain in the selection of a man for the
Office of Solicitor.
Mr. Pou broke this little smlle all to
tiinderations by taking it up and saying
that when a man went to buy horse, if
he was prudent man, he would always
buy young horse capable of work and
wiling to work in preference to buying
an old wind-broken, NANCY, black tooth
ed, spawned horse. And then he told
the people to take their choice, and they
plainly showed that they wanted the
young horse every time.
Then Gen. Argo sad that Mr. Pou was
incompetent to do the work of the Office,
&c. This acted as boomerang to the
General" for Mr.. Pou told how
the grand jury of Johnston county had
once presented Gen. Argo fo1 NEGLECT
OF DUTY. This was sumner and
doubly forcible because the General !"
could not deny it.
"Gen." Argo seemed very anxious to
make capital out of Mr. Pou's youth and
kept agitating the fact before the people.
Mr. POu said that he was not respon-
sible for his youth, and he was not sorry
for his youth; but he thanked God that
he was not old enough to have left behind
him such record as the "Gen." had
left in the matter of the special tax
bonds, the issuance of which was the in
carnation of the greatest villainy and
outrage ever perpetrated on the peo-
pie of the State. Those bonds had
been issued to the amount of $38,
900 and, General" Argo did not vote
against one single bill for them.
And thus it goes on. The "Rads'
are being downed at every turn and they
are sorely hacked.
Oh! white men of Wake county! Will
! you do your duty now9 Won't you se'
that your own name and the name o
