WINSTON, n. c., Aug. 8, 1s9O.-And
Hog Eye Man" gets black eye. Not
by Durham Bull blowing, but by cold
figures. The writer noticed the chal-
lenge in the CHRONICLE of the Sth, from
''Hog Eye Man, its Durham correspon-
dent. That challenge was to the effect
that Durham could show up more inter-
nal revenue receipts from August 1st,
'o9, to August lst, 80, than could Win
ston. ThG wager was a bottle Of cider,
mild cider, suppose, in tone with the
weight Of "Hog Eyes" proposition. That
writer declared that Durham's internal
revenue receipts for the Year named
amounted to $3.50, 1919. Now Winston
has no desire to snow Durham under
in one week. We are humane up here,
and have respect for the feelings of all
animals, even of the swine species.
The first statement made in the writer's
letter to the CHRONICLE was never de-
MED by any one, and in that statement
Durham was assisted by Reidsville, OK
ford, Henderson and Raleigh Now,
since Durham has done the challenging,
we simply make the answer to her that
Winston's revenue receipts for the year
stated amounted to $777, ,133.41-$96,-
951 68 AHEAD Of Durham. Whose cider t?
Winston's. Send it On. Our corkscrew
is in hand. But send two bottles in
stead Of one. Manager Williamson, of
the baseball team, loves cider-"2O to 4
in f4vor of Winston" Referring back
to late issue Of the Durham papers,
we fad the fact stated that Durham
challenged the State. So Durham owes
us two bottles, and one more for that
gal4o Of humble peg that is still left
unplayed Whoopee, how good-this
Durham cider!
Mr.. W. W. Barbee, Of Wilkes, re-
turned to this city yesterday from
Stokes court, whittier he went to look
after his solicitorial fences. He tells me
that Thomas Settle and himself vii
begin joint canvass beginning at Dob
son during Surry court.
It is very difficult to obtain correc
news regarding the Congressional race
in the Eighth district. Since my las
letter it appears that Graham's owl
county will give good vote for Cowles
while Wilkes will stand solidly by he
son. The impression now is that CoWle
will get 95 votes on the first ballot. Thi
, will be plurality over'the other candi
! dates, and the second ballot may decid
, it in his favor. Unusual interest
manifested here, and there will be som
t sad faces if Wilkes honest colonel is dc
7 feated.
