WINSTON, n. c., Aug. S.-Stokes eoun-
ty Court House square this week is
political camping ground. Candidates
OF all description, interests and color
have pitched their tents thereon and are
wandering around looking after their
fences. Congressman Brewer has mon
stationed at every corner to notify the
populace that he is still running, and
that he tried mighty hard to make them
vote at the point Of the bayonet but
some men of wisdom and sound iiscre-
ton prevented him from so-doing.
"Baldy" Williams is by no means asleep.
Hundreds of horny handed sons who
have heretofore cast their votes for
Brewer have found the path of right and
chose to follow therein. ". W. Barber,
Of Wilkes, is also over there and has
gone to pull his wires under the eye of
the Solicitor Tom Settle. Settle is get
ting scared of him and is very nervous
at court whan be sees the cordial hand
shake of ebay seeder" with our future
Solicitor. Barber will certainly beat
Settle and Williams will redeem the dis
trict and go to Congress. Mark the pre-
diction.
